The Development and Alumni Relations records subgroup (11.2 linear feet, 12 boxes) is organized into three series: Development Office records (1929-2007), William Davidson Institute (1989-2007) and Reunions (2002). Materials include administrative records, committee agenda, minutes, and notes, material on the establishment of educational institutes, and financial information. Parts of this subgroup carry an executive restriction.
The Development Office records series (9.4 linear feet), 1929-2007, is arranged into four sub-series: Administrative Files, Campaigns, Committees, and Educational Institutes. Administrative files (1929-2006) includes articles, correspondence, records related to Dean Robert J. Dolan, financial material, strategic planning documents, photographs of the construction of Sam Wyly Hall, and other administrative material. The Campaigns sub-series (1979-2007) documents the various capital campaigns and fundraising activities of the Ross School of Business. Committees (1970-2002) is comprised primarily of meeting material of the Development Advisory Board. The Educational Institutes (1986-2007) documents the establishment and activities of various endowed educational institutes and programs administered by the Ross School of Business. The majority of records in this series carry an executive restriction of twenty years (July 1, 2029) and a small subset are restricted until July 1, 2037.
The Maddy portion, circa 1880-1967, features his parents, brother, family homes, boyhood friends, recreational activities, and major events in his professional career, including his broadcasting, conducting, and other music education endeavors. They also cover his work at Interlochen, including scenes of him with many prominent guests. The prints begin before his birth and conclude a year after his death (with the sculptured bust presented to Interlochen in his memory). Volumes 3 and 4 of the Scrapbooks, 1938-1940, also contain images of Maddy.
Closely related to both Maddy and the Camp are scenes of the National High School Orchestra. They cover its appearances, 1926-1930 and 1938. The last, a special revival for the MENC convention in St. Louis, Missouri, with Joseph Maddy presiding, celebrated the centennial of music education in America.
The Administrative Files, 1874-1985 subseries (2 linear feet) include interoffice and campus-wide mass mailings to students, faculty, departments, and schools from 1912-1987. Data on financial aid for graduate students is documented, as is a history of administrative systems and processes within Rackham. Furthermore, a large amount of statistics dating back to the early part of the twentieth century documents graduate degree information.
