Paulsen Cap and Gown Chapter of Mortar Board, after an administrator who helped bring Mortar Board to the BGSU campus. The organization began to admit men in 1976 in order to comply with Title IX. |

It includes scrapbooks, meeting minutes, correspondence, newsletters and other materials documenting the chapter and its activities.
