From the Collection:

This collection houses a wealth of material documenting Jeanne Barkley's work with the University of Tennessee's Office of Alumni Affairs, including correspondence with alumni and such UT officials as Andy Holt, Herman Spivey, and Jack Reese, press releases, Hill-O-Grams, brochures, a Board of Trustees Resolution, a ROTC petition, a report that James Hoskins made to the legislature in 1935, and other materials. It also contains correspondence written to and from Victor M. Davis (of the Bureau of Appointments Office) and John Smartt (Executive Secretary of the Alumni Affairs Office). Of particular interest is a letter from C. Jack Brakebill Jr. resigning his position on the Board of the Presbyterian Center at the University of Tennessee in protest of Martin Luther King being asked to speak there.
