The bulk of this series is correspondence written by Dr. Schowe to his colleagues and administrators at MSSD, covering various aspects of MSSD’s policies, including evaluation, planning, and student goals. It also includes some notes and reports by Dr. Schowe on student coursework, Much of the latter has to do with Dr. Schowe’s attempts to implement the educational philosophy of James Moffett at MSSD, and the series also includes extensive notes from a course titled “Adventures in Communication,” based on Moffett’s principles.

Series 8 also has a great deal of material related to Dr. Schowe’s work at MSSD.
