This accession consists of subject files, notebooks, reports, research notes and other papers documenting the directorship of Roger Randall Dougan Revelle. The records document the construction of buildings on the Scripps campus, curriculum planning and program planning, expedition planning and results, personnel issues and other spects of the daily operation of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The records include a small quantity of material that predates the Revelle directorship, including folders on Works Progress Administration workers at the Scripps during the 1930s, information on the sinking of the R/V SCRIPPS in 1936 and notes on Harald Ulrik Sverdrup's post-war plans for Scripps. The records also include a small quantity of material documenting Revelle's work to encourage the Regents of the University of California to establish a new campus of the university at San Diegeo. The record includes one folder of material generated by Revelle concerning the California loyalty oath controversy of 1950. The records include material and slides documenting MidPac Expedition and Capricorn Expedition.
