Files of the editor of the Journal of English and Germanic Philology, a quarterly journal devoted to the English, German and Scandinavian languages and literatures, including correspondence concerning literary criticism and annual bibliographies; submission, acceptance and rejection of articles; editorial staff work; budgets and indexes; manuscript copies of reviews and articles and editor's "diaries" or journal accounts of letters and manuscripts sent and received (1946-57).

The first students to do graduate work enrolled in 1877, leading to the awarding of the first master's degree in 1878.¹ However, a graduate program was not set up until 1891.² The Graduate School was formally organized in 1907, after appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly.³ Its name was changed to the Graduate College in 1947, in anticipation of its new significance in the University organization.⁴ In 1968, the Board of Trustees provided for separate Graduate Colleges on each of three University campuses.⁵ The Graduate College has the responsibility of developing and safeguarding standards of graduate work and promoting and assisting research by faculty members.⁶ It provides assistance and supervision to other degree-granting units on the campus.⁷

In 1974, the Board of Trustees added the title of Vice Chancellor for Research to Dean of the Graduate College to more accurately describe the responsibilities vested in the college.⁸
