Founded in 1939 as the Bryn Mawr College Summer School for Women Workers in Industry,

curricula, faculty, labor history and workers' education; minutes and agenda of meetings
of the faculty and Board of Trustees (1949-1951); annual reports of the Board of Trustees;

regarding the curricula and programs offered at the HSLS; and faculty evaluations
of training programs (1948-1951).

Relations, faculty) with Helen D. Lockwood (HSLS trustee) on transferring HSLS workers'
education sessions to Rutgers and of James C. Hill (Sarah Lawrence College, faculty)
