The Royal J. Bondie Jr. Manuscript Collection reflects the dedication of a lifelong teacher and researcher who helped to make Parks College well known in the fields of engineering, aeronautics, and aerospace technology. The Lecture Notes Series, which comprises the bulk of the material, contains notes, problems, and examinations for many of the classes Bondie taught during his 30 years at Parks. The Correspondence series provides letters of recommendation for students as well as evidence of Bondie's work on truck aerodynamics.



The Legal Cases series consists of correspondence, reports, working calculations, and depositions related to Bondie's consulting work on automobile and airplane crashes. The Papers and Reports series contains scholarly work by Bondie as well as by other Parks faculty members and Parks students.
