Memoranda, reports, statistics on question of whether or not the College's need to expand in order to survive financially and the related issues of admitting women and cooperation with Bryn Mawr College. The major portion of the files is for 1973 and concerns the Gubins report on budget projections to justify expansion and arguments against it.

The issue on whether or not to expand the college began with the previous administration and carried into the Coleman presidency. Coleman faced financial challenges for which an increased student body was one solution. The question then arose whether there was a sufficient pool of qualified men to support the increase. In that context, Coleman began exploring the admission of women. The discussion eventually came to conclude that a male-only college was discriminatory.

Controversy centered less on retaining the all-male college than the harm coeducation might do to Bryn Mawr College, with the Bryn Mawr community aggressively campaigning against it. From 1971 to 1976 Haverford's announced intention was to slowly expand and pursue coeducation through increased efforts toward cooperation with Bryn Mawr, with the efforts toward cooperation (cross registrations and shared courses, as well as other strategies) meeting with mixed success. Although Haverford faculty was initially divided, by 1976 it fully supported coeducation, as did the administration.

Nevertheless the Haverford Board of Managers, in a controversial December 10, 1976, decision, determined to admit women as transfers only and to not include them in the freshman class, and it called for greater cooperative efforts with Bryn Mawr. Coleman, resigned, saying that he was "not the one to give the College the leadership it needs in carrying out the decisions of the Board of Managers."

Files after 1981/82 are less comprehensive.

Minority protest began with demands from the Black Students' League and Puerto Rican Students at Haverford in 1972 and culminated in a "strike" against participation in a boycott of non-academic activities. In 1976 the Asian Studies Group and the Students' Council joined with BSL and PRSH in the Minority Coalition again raised concerns and staged a hunger strike and sit-in.

A group of no more than 14 freshmen met regularly with an instructor to explore a coherent topic of study.

These seminars are intended to provide an opportunity for exploration, presentation, and learning across traditional departmental boundaries as well as to help students develop speaking and writing skills. The Freshman Seminar Program began in 1969; it floundered because it was not a priority for faculty and had no political or financial clout.

The program provided a lecture series, an "Annual Dialogue," and seminars, with classes held at the Gest Center (located in Founders Annex reconstructed for Center in 1970, courtesy of Miss Miriam Thrall) and residence and meditation room in Woodside Cottage (closed in 1988).

This file, with indications that it was established for Commission on Women Students, was also used for Women's Concerns, Women's Center, Women's Studies, and just plain Women. The early material includes some memoranda for the Commission on Women Students, 1970, to examine several possible models for bringing women to the Haverford campus. It continues with Coeducation-Expansion Committee minutes, memoranda and recommendations,1971-1972, to consider whether to admit women and whether the student body size should be increased while holding faculty size relatively constant (the committee recommended in a 4th draft that women transfers be admitted; the 5th and final draft rejects that, urging cooperative coeducation with Bryn Mawr and increased enrollment to 725). Later records are for the College Committee on Women at Haverford report on aspects of college life which would most directly affect women students at Haverford and to suggest those changes or alterations in approach which seemed necessary to meet the challenge of coeducation, 1977-1979. After women were admitted the concern turned to the need for a Women's Center and director, 1981-1982, and a Women's Studies program, 1982-1983.
