Also included are newsletters, fund letters, mailing lists, and correspondence generating through interactions with the Harrisonburg community at large.

Records documenting the various cadet extra-curricular organizations, clubs, and honor societies. Folder 1/Box 1 contains lists of organizations by school year (not complete). The only 19th century records are those for the Cadet literary societies.

Series III. Case files (boxes 58-125) -- The case files date back to 1874 but are concentrated between 1920 and 1955. While the dates of these case files overlap the chronological ones described above, case files were by no means regularly created until the early twenties when the other system was virtually abandoned. Since many but not all of the case files were numbered, it was impossible to restore them to numerical order. Therefore, they have been grouped into decades and then arranged alphabetically by title found on the original folder. If the original folder was numbered, that number is noted on the new one. The cases concern principally the settlement of debts, property and divorce, as well as, for the last few decades, insurance claims.
