Subseries: Subseries 2B. Vice President for Administration, 1954-19687 boxes This office probably originated with Kenneth Yourd in 1958, when he was already
acting in this capacity, although he then carried the dual title of Executive
Secretary and Vice President of NET. Yourd was succeeded in 1961 by Arthur M. Griffin,
who gave way to Edwin Bayley in 1963. Bayley held the office for six years, serving as
Public Affairs Editor for NET at the same time. In 1969, Richard M. Catalano succeeded
him and was acting in the office at the time of the 1971 merger. The purpose of this office seemed to be what the title implied, one of overall
coordination and administration of the Center's non-programming or supporting
activities. Directly responsible to the VP for Administration at one time or another
were the Directors of Engineering and Technical Distribution, including NET Film
Service, Legal Affairs, and Reports. This officer also had some responsibility for
routine public relations, financial-accounting and programming, as well as office
management, office efficiency, the physical plant, etc. The office was responsible for
making people aware of company policy regarding sick leave, vacation, misuse of the
phones, etc. The VP for Administration seemed to do a little of everything. He never
went into any area in depth until 1965 when Bayley's position as Public Affairs Editor
involved him as emcee of the series entitled Regional Reports. : The files consist of about 60 per cent correspondence and 40 per cent reports.
Covering mainly 1960-1966, they are arranged in an alphabetical subject file preceded
by the general correspondence and the financial memos. The main subjects are FAE
grants, correspondence with affiliates, FCC hearings on non-commercial use of TV
satellites in 1966, programs, and NET Film Service, whose correspondence includes
promotional literature, order forms, articles, and program descriptions. Much material
is Bayley's as Public Affairs Editor, and the only in depth files are his, on Regional Reports. The files are highly
fragmentary as documentation of the office of Vice President for Administration.
Especially sparse is the information on the Kenneth Yourd years.
