Scope and Contents
This collection is divided into two series: one of general files kept by the student society members and the other from the files of Ruth Peterson, former Registrar of Beloit College and adviser to Mortar Board.
The General Information series is arranged alphabetically by subject, and contains financial information, correspondence, reports, rosters, constitutions, event materials, and scrapbooks. Of particular note are the documents surrounding Senior Bench's petition to become a chapter of Mortar Board in 1951.
Ruth Peterson kept many documents as adviser to Mortar Board for over 13 years. Included in her series are local chapter member lists, event planning documents, meeting minutes, financial information, and internal and external correspondence. At least half of her files are materials sent from the national organization to all chapter advisers such as handbooks alumni relations information, The Forum (national Mortar Board publication) issues.
