The Faculty of Arts and Letters came into being in 1967 when the University planned a massive academic reorganization. The academic units were divided into seven different faculties, of which Arts and Letters was one. It originally consisted of a number of departments that were in the original College of Arts and Letters including Art, Classics, Drama and Speech, English, Modern Languages and Literatures, and Music. Other newly-formed departments were added to the faculty later like American Studies, African-American Studies, Comparative Literature, and the Center for Media Study. It was disbanded in 1998 when the University again reorganized and reestablished the College of Arts and Sciences.
Jon Whitmore was named Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters in August 1985. He left the University (effective January 1990) to become a Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Austin.
This collection consists of the official outgoing correspondence of Jon Whitmore, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, during the five years he held that post.
