Title:
Finding Aid: MS 542 - G. Eugene Rich and Herbert Zettl Springfield College Oral History Collection
Description:
This is the finding aid for MS 542 - G. Eugene Rich and Herbert Zettl Springfield College Oral History Collection. Materials within the G. Eugene Rich and Herbert Zettl Springfield College Oral History Collection include transcriptions and audio recordings of oral histories done with Springfield College Alumni, Faculty, Presidents and Coaches. Most of the oral histories are on the original audio cassette or are digital files on CDs (the original audio cassettes no longer exsist). Series 1 includes class materials and directions from Professor Zettl’s HIST388 - Oral History course for the oral history project. It also includes part of Professor Zettl’s manuscript “As I Remember Springfield” about the first 100 years at Springfield College and a three-part oral history conducted with Professor Zettl by Gillian Menezes, the processor of this collection, about his oral history project and his time at Springfield College as a member of the faculty and the first coach of the Springfield College women’s varsity soccer team. The oral histories of Alumni and Alumnae start with Samuel Pond from the class of 1912 and end with Chris Fabry who graduated in 2002. Some of the notable Alum include Leslie Judd, Dorothy Audette, Irv Schmid, and John J. Costello. Some of the earlier oral histories are conducted by Gene Rich and Herb Zettl themselves. The rest are student interviewers who took part in Professor Zettl's class assignment. Some of the themes discussed in these oral histories include life on campus, freshman orientation, and traditions of the College. In series 4 there are interviews with Presidents and Administration of the College. Included are President Glen Olds, President Paul Limbet, and Dean Thornton Merriam; these oral histories were conducted by Herb Zettl and Gene Rich. Themes discussed in these oral histories are changes to curriculum and changes to Springfield College following World War I and World War II. The last series in this collection includes oral histories that were done with members of the Springfield College faculty. Some members of the faculty included are Dr. Joel Cohen, Dr. Margaret Thorsen, and Dr. John Branerd. Some of the themes that are explored include the 1969-70 student protests, physical changes to the campus, changes to the curriculum, and World War II. For more information on G.
