Images taken by photographer Steve Castillo of events and people during class reunions at Stanford University in the fall of 2000. Class reunions are celebrated every 5 years; these classes are those ending in 0 or 5 (1950, 1955, 1965, 1980, etc.)

The oral history interviews in the SOHP collection are carefully planned historical documents which we hope will serve a wide range of scholarly interests. Five additional sets of oral history interviews are listed separately: a set of interviews with members of the early Aurora newspaper collection; a set of interviews with participants in Stanford's Community Committee for International Students (CCIS); a set of interviews conducted by Joan Bromberg of the American Institute of Physics for the Laser History Project; a set of interviews with graduates of the Stanford School of Nursing; a set of interviews with Stanford-associated "Silicon Valley" scientists (a component of the Stanford and the Silicon Valley Project); and a set of interviews with family and friends of Dr. Reid Newell, professor in the School of Medicine.

These papers contain correspondence files and subject files. The correspondence, with Stanford officials, alumni, and colleagues at other colleges, pertains to alumni relations, donor relations, campus events making national news, and other aspects of his public relations work; correspondents include Stanford president J. E. Wallace Sterling, Fred Glover, Lyle Nelson, Elinor V. Cogswell, Stanford trustee Richard E. Guggenhime, and Robert E. Kennedy of Cal-Poly. There is also some correspondence with friends and family. The subject files contain correspondence, clippings, reports, memoranda, text for talks, articles, photographs, and other items pertaining to campus events, student publications, the history of university relations at Stanford, and fellow administrative staff, especially their retirement parties for which Carlson often composed song parodies. Of note are files on the guest professorship for Angela Davis in 1976, sponsored by the Associated Students of Stanford University; the 1962 Stanford Summer Institute in Germany; the career of J. E. Wallace Sterling; a report on the University of Sonora (Mexico) by Santiago Cota de la Torre, 1971; and THE ORAL HISTORY OF DAVID S. JACOBSON, which includes the 1978 SOHP transcript, a supplement by Jacobson done in 1985, and additional materials prepared by his family.

Collection primarily relates to his fundraising activities on behalf of Stanford University (as an alum and as a member of the Stanford Associates) and the reunions of the Class of 1951, held between 1976 and 2006. Included are correspondence, reports, manuals, newsletters, publications, clippings, programs, and a few photographs. There are also files pertaining to the Campus Conference (an Alumni Association event), 1960-66, and student disruptions on campus, 1969-73.

Photographs, 1942-61, a few with notes, of Stanford students, their spouses, and their children. Many of the student pictures are of men and women in the military service during World War II.

Series 1, Office Files, contains chronological correspondence files, 1921-79; project files containing correspondence, contracts, financial documents, notes, small-scale drawings, memoranda, and other materials, 1924-1990; and files on administrative matters, articles and talks on Palo Alto's architectural history, and other professional activities.
