    Summary note
    • The records of the Princeton Cooperative School Program document the history of this summer program for disadvantaged youth held at and administered by Princeton University.
    • The collection consists of correspondence, classroom material, printed material, reports, minutes, and proposals. The material primarily concerns staff, students, administration, program planning and outcome, budget, and participating high schools. Like materials relating to the Secondary School Science Project and Princeton-Trenton Institute are also included. PCSP curriculum and the instructors' ideas for and reflections on the curriculum are particularly well documented in reports. Also of interest are materials relating to specific classes and students, which in some cases reflect the progress of and changes observed in students during their time in PCSP and afterwards. The records are comparatively sparse for the years following Judson's departure as program director after the 1966 session, but the 1977 "Survey of College Retention and Attrition in the Princeton Cooperative School Program" provides somewhat detailed information on PCSP sessions from 1966 to 1975.
