Bureau of Research and Examination Services Research Reports
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of research reports and dates from 1929-1984. Reports were issued regularly through 1984, when an office devoted to institutional research took over those responsibilities and began to issue its own series of reports. However, there are several scattered reports about special occasions issued after 1984.
