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)
with Hilda W. Smith (HSLS trustee) on meetings and curricula. Additionally, press
releases, bulletins, financial statements and pamphlets generated by and pertaining
