Eight binders of memos and correspondence of Sidney A. Guralnick during his tenure as Illinois Institute of Technology's first provost (January 1976-August 1982). In a memo from Guralnick dated 12/6/1979, titled "What Do Deans Really Do?", he himself described his work as consisting mainly of budgetary preparations, campus planning, faculty selection, and optimization of resources. Guralnick's papers show his active involvement in dealing with faculty grievances, including tenure matters, setting standards for faculty promotion, and announcing various important academic hires and innovations.
