content: Folders containing her student correspondence consist of letters to and from her students as well as letters of recommendations she wrote for her students. These folders are arranged chronologically by academic year while the letters within the folders are organized alphabetically by student name.  The administrative folders contain her official letters of appointment from Columbia, correspondence with her colleagues at the university, and university and departmental memos. There are also two folders of materials that Bunzel collected on the 1968 student strikes at Columbia University. Both the folders and the materials within the folders are arranged chronologically. Folders relating to the courses Bunzel taught are arranged alphabetically. While there are lecture notes for her earlier classes, the folders for the courses she taught in her later years mostly contain student papers. There are also several more folders containing student papers from different courses mixed together; these papers are arranged alphabetically by student. At the end of the series are student information sheets that she had her students complete.
