Collection consists of official records largely created by Colonel Samuel D. Stroman and Norman P. Lasca. Most date from 1967-1972. The records document the evolution of ROTC courses at the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee (UWM) including Curriculum "C," an experimental set of courses taught by faculty from other UWM departments. Also includes files documenting the Department's efforts to improve its funding and physical plant, contracts with the Army and other local campuses, efforts to reverse declines in ROTC membership, and continued concerns about the administrative control of ROTC within the UWM. Includes records of the ROTC Committee and the Ad Hoc Committee on ROTC Organization and Structure. The only records predating UWM's establishment in 1956 are a certificate of award from the Army Air Force to the Wisconsin State Teacher's College and a program for a student stage production, both dating to World War II.
