During Father Donohoe's ten year administration, the University underwent tremendous physical growth and social change: it became coeducational in 1961, the undergraduate student body tripled in size, graduate programs at both the Master’s and doctoral levels were installed in the Schools of Business and Engineering, and the Santa Clara Plan, a new academic program, was adopted. In addition, Father Donohoe created the Board of Regents in 1959, broadened the university’s fundraising efforts, and launched a building program that produced 11 buildings and Buck Shaw Stadium, totaling nearly $13 million. During the turbulent 1960’s, Father Donohoe became an eloquent spokesman in defense of academic freedom as Santa Clara began sponsoring speakers and programs considered controversial. Records include copies of speeches given by Fr. Donohoe during his presidency, clippings, correspondence, policy decisions, unusual events, units reporting to the President, committees, task forces chaired by the President, reports, minutes, publications and brochures from the President's Office, staff memos, meeting minutes, and program files.
