2. Pepperdine University, 1970-1997

 Series

Scope and Contents

This series contains materials related to Margaret Brock's involvement with Pepperdine University, as a friend and donor. Most of the materials are textual, but there are two folders of photographs of Brock with promenent Pepperdine officials, such as William and Gay Banowsky, Helen and Norvel Young, and Charles Runnels. The bulk of the materials are what Brock had organized into chronological files labeled "Pepperdine" (now labeled "General Pepperdine"). These files contain each year's worth of correspondence with various university officials, invitations to events, Pepperdine publications, event programs, and newspaper clippings. Some folders also include note cards, on which Brock wrote our remarks to be given at university events. In addition to the General Pepperdine files, there are a number of files about the university president's home, Brock House, for which Margaret Brock provided the funding. The Brock House files include materials related to the dedication of the house as well as subsequent remodels of the residence. There is a folder from each year for the Margaret Brock Endowed Law School Scholarship Fund (refered to as the Brock Law Scholarship), which contain correspondence about the scholarship and endowed fund, information on the selected recepients, articles about the scholarship, and correspondence from the recepients. Also included in the first folder is the original proposal for the scholarship.
