    Hello,
    I hope you're well! We have a student looking for the following documents, and we're having trouble locating them. I thought I'd post to the hive mind to see if y'all know where we might find them.
    Butler, Richard P. and John W. Houston. Factors Stimulating and Sustaining Minority Group Interest Enrolling in USMA. West Point: United States Military Academy, Office of Institutional Research, 1980.
     
    McCollum, Jr. Cornell, Lieutenant Colonel. "Minority Recruitment---Observations Trends, Recommendations, 12 July 1972." TMs (photocopy). Archives, United States Military Academy, West Point, NY.
    With gratitude,

    Dear Jennifer, I would always start with DTIC for any military documents. Although DTIC stands for the Defense Technical Information Center, you'll find Master's theses and honors papers from all of the military academiies on any topic. Here's the link: https://discover.dtic.mil/.
