This series consists of material related to Edward Lowinsky's administrative and teaching work at
University of Chicago. It is organized into two subseries:
Subseries 1: Administration, contains correspondence, minutes, reports, manuscripts, notes,
publications, pamphlets and broadsides from 1961-1985. This subseries documents Lowinsky's
involvement with departmental and university administrative matters. There are substantial files
on the university's Selective Service policy and anti-draft demonstrations, including the 1966
sit-in. Also reflected is Lowinsky's influential role in the development of music collections in
the university library. Files are arranged alphabetically by topic or correspondent. Restricted
administrative records have been transferred to Series X.
Subseries 2: Teaching, consists of material from courses taught by Edward Lowinsky in the
Music Department. There are lecture notes, assignments, examinations, reading lists and syllabi.
Files are arranged alphabetically by course name. Many files are undated or were compiled
cumulatively over several years; however, most files date from circa 1961-1976. Files containing
grades, letters of recommendation, and other evaluations of students have been transferred to
Series X.
Additional correspondence with University of Chicago faculty, staff and students is in Series I:
Subseries 1. Oversize materials, consisting of issues of the student newspaper Chicago Maroon,
have been transferred to Series IX: Subseries 1. The newspapers date from 1962-1968, and
contain articles on campus politics and other topics that were important to Lowinsky. Some of
the newspapers contain letters or statements by Lowinsky.
