Historical Note
The Kent State University Citation and Recognition Committee considers and recommends nominees for
honorary degrees and for other special recognition such as the President's Medal
and the University Medallion. In addition, the Committee proposes governing
criteria for the above honors.
Scope and Content
This collection includes the Committee's requests for nominations, internal
Committee correspondence, critera and eligibility for awards, nominee files
(including biographical information), ballots, and recipient files (including
promotional and ceremonial materials).
Statement of Arrangement
In the first box, the Committee's public requests and internal records are
filed first. The awards (Distinguished Service, Distinguished Teaching, President's
Medal, and University Medallion) are then ordered alphabetically. For each award,
an explanation of the criteria is followed by lists of nominees and lists of
recipients. For many nominees and recipients there are individual files which
are ordered alphabetically. These files include biographical information. The
second box contains the Honorary Degree criteria, lists, and individual nominee
and recipient files.
Note: Dates reflect the content of the files, not the date an individual
was nominated nor the date an award was conferred. There is a significant
difference between the file dates and the dates nominated or conferred for Walton
Clarke, Frank Glenn, Bernard Hall, Louis Lane, Paul Pfeiffer, Shannon Rodgers,
Richard Schmidt, Howard Vincent, Rose Vormelker, and John Weiser.
Please see the Nominee and Recipient LISTS folders for nomination or conferral
dates.
