"Varsity Letters is a functional study of modern colleges and universities intended for readers who seek to understand the nature of higher education. Varsity Letters should be used by those individuals, including librarians, archivists, auditors, lawyers, registrars, and information specialists, who share the responsibility to create, maintain, and provide long-term access to the evidence institutions need to manage themselves effectively. The volume describes the seven primary functions of colleges and universities, explores the problems associated with each function, and proposes a method to ensure an adequate documentation. For those responsible for the documentation of other modern institutions, the analytical and planning method proposed in Varsity Letters can be adapted to apply in a variety of other settings."--Jacket.
