Collection contains the administrative files of Edward T. Kirkpatrick, President of the Wentworth Institute (1971-1975), Wentworth College of Technology (1972-1975) and the Wentworth Institute of Technology (1975-1991).
Collection includes correspondence and reports concerning accreditation, curriculum development, fund-raising, and the 75th anniversary of the Institute. The collection also contains extensive files on Wentworth activities at the College (later University-2014?) of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia, and the Shiraz Technical Institute in Iran. Includes news clippings. Files include correspondence and reports concerning accreditation, the American Society for Engineering Education, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts, East Coast Aero Technical School, Inc., National Research Council and the President's Chronological Files. The Collection also includes the President's files on compute diskette (CD).
The Office of the Principal was established in 1910 by the trustees of the Wentworth Institute. The principals were Arthur L. Williston (February 1910-30 June, 1923), Frederick E. Dobbs (25 February, 1924-1951), and Marshall N. Arlin (Acting 1952-1953). The Board of Directors voted in early 1953 to change the title of the Principal to the President. H. Russell Beatty became president on 1 July, 1953. More information on President Kirkpatrick will be added as the collection is processed.

Staples and other metal materials were removed. Any plastic, rubber band, or taped material was separated from paper (when able to be separated without damaging the materials) and discarded. Duplicate, non-unique copies of materials were withdrawn from the collection. Acidic or photographic materials were kept in their original order but were re-housed in mylar sleeves or leafing folders. Duplicate folders were re-labeled, re-organized, and re-foldered. Materials were kept in the original folder order: alphabetical by topic, and then chronological within specific folders. Folders were placed in new letter document boxes.
