Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

These papers reflect Andrew G. Hoover’s directorship of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) Summer Institutes in English, 1965-1967). The records consist of applications, syllabi, correspondence, reports, and other materials compiled with the director in conjunction with the operation of the Institutes.

The papers are organized in a series of folders by date. Each folder contains materials from the annual NDEA Summer Institutes in English, spanning 1965-1967.

The documentation of Andrew Hoover’s directorship of the NDEA Summer Institutes in English highlights evolving concepts of higher education in the late 1960s. In offering forty high school teachers the opportunity to increase their professional competence through postgraduate study, the NDEA Summer Institutes in English advocated for greater depth in the humanities that contrasts with the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) focus emphasized in later years.
