Alexander, who served as Chair of the Department of Economics (1965-1970), Dean of the College of Letters and Science (1971-1973), Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs (1973-1978), and Acting Chancellor (July-Dec. 1977).

The bulk of the collection consists of copies of letters and memos grouped into stages of Alexander's career, each with a handwritten introduction or overview.
