The University career series pertains mainly to White's four decade career at the University of Michigan. A small portion is from the 1920s when he taught at the University of Buffalo. The University of Michigan portion of this series detail White's influence as a teacher as seen in student evaluations of his classes and the notes made by two of his students from 1933 and 1953 which were incorporated into the collection.

Part of the University career series concerns White's administrative responsibilities as department chairman and the impact of his iconoclastic views. There were at least two instances when White's treatment of religion within his classes led to criticism within the religious community and attempts to have him disciplined.
