MS 1240 - Charles G. Eberly Collection, 1971-2010

Title	MS 1240 - Charles G. Eberly Collection, 1971-2010
Introduction	The Charles G. Eberly Collection is comprised of approximately 9 linear feet of correspondence, promotion, course curricula/syllabi, research, and subject files from his lengthy career in higher education at Michigan State University and Eastern Illinois University. A prominent feature of the collection is Dr. Eberly’s research and professional activities within the field and their link to his commitment to students in not only the classroom, through testing/ evaluation and within the social realm of Greek issues prevalent on college campuses at the time of his employment. The majority of the documents date from approximately 1971 to his retirement in 2010. Earlier materials are included from his undergraduate and graduate studies. Dr. Eberly donated his papers to the Center for Archival Collections over a period of years with the last installment arriving in 2016. The papers are part of the holdings of the National Student Affairs Archives. The collection was processed and the finding aid written by Eric Honneffer in February 2018.
Biographical Sketch	Charles G. Eberly was born in McComb, Ohio September 8, 1941 and graduated from the McComb Centralized School District in 1959. He received a B.S. in Chemistry at Bowling Green State University in 1963 and an M.S. in Education from Syracuse University in 1966. His master’s thesis was entitled, Attitudinal Differences Between the National Officers and Two Chapters of a National Fraternity. He was an instructor in Student Personnel at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh from 1966 to 1969. By 1970 he had earned a Ph.D from Michigan State University where he majored in college student personnel administration. His dissertation was entitled: Critical Thinking, Attitudes and Values Associated with Fraternity Membership. From 1970 to 1987 he was on faculty at Michigan State University working in such areas as the Office of Evaluation Services, University College, Department of Educational Psychology, Measurement and Counseling, Department of Higher Education, and in the Undergraduate University Division where he served as assistant to the Director of Admissions for Planning, Evaluation, and Orientation Placement Testing. By 1987 he joined the faculty of Eastern Illinois University in the Department of Educational Psychology and Guidance. Later as a professor in the Department of Counseling and Student Development he served as coordinator of the College Student Affairs program. He taught courses in such areas as College Student Personnel Work, Leadership in Higher Education, Personality Dynamics, and Educational Measurement and Research. In addition he oversaw the work of practicum students and mentored many others within the student personnel field. He retired in 2010. After nearly a fifty year career in higher education student services, Dr. Eberly stated that his theme had been “building bridges to belong” and his research focused primarily upon students in groups, in particular, the American College Fraternity. Since his undergraduate years at BGSU he was an active member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and remained committed, throughout his career, to the study of college men’s fraternities and Greek issues such as hazing, substance abuse, and sexual violence. In fact, Eastern Illinois University’s Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter was begun in Dr. Eberly’s living room in 1990. He was President of the Center for the Study of the College Fraternity from 1998-2005. Other research interests include enrollment management and student development. Much of his published research can be found on the Eastern Illinois University Booth Library website under “The Keep.” Dr. Eberly has been active in many national student affairs and higher education organizations such as the Association for Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA), American College Personnel Association (ACPA), and Association of Fraternity and Sorority Advisors (AFSA).
Scope and Content	The Charles G. Eberly Collection documents a very active career within the Student Services/Higher Education field at a time when students were becoming more vocal regarding social justice and individual rights on campuses across the country during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Dr. Eberly listened to the students and enriched their academic experience and professional advancement through his classes, his research, his community involvement, and committee responsibilities. His files on fraternity social issues: Hazing, alcoholism, sexual violence, discrimination and strategies for managing these matters might be useful to scholars studying Greek life on the American campus. Dr. Eberly’s faculty retention, promotion, and professional advancement files could interest researchers wanting to know more about the faculty promotion and tenure process and the kinds of documents that comprise the notebooks presented to peers for evaluative purposes. The records are truly an encapsulation of Dr. Eberly’s career from 1987 to 2010 focusing on his teaching, research, and service in higher education. These documents and many other files in the collection reflect Dr. Eberly’s interest in testing/evaluation, advising students, and social issues relevant to students with an emphasis on men as fraternity members.
