Series I. Faculty Memories Project, 1884, 1912-1982, inclusive

This series contains letters dating from 1963 to the early 1970s which convey the experiences of Washington Square College and later New York University faculty and staff during the 1920s through 1940s. These letters include histories of various departments and schools; interactions between faculty; facilities staff stories on how they came to work at the College or University; experiences of female faculty and students; the history of University clubs and programs; and memorable student experiences. This series also contains materials dated earlier than this project, which were added to the files most likely due to their similar nature. These items include material dating from the mid-1800s to the 1950s, such as publications containing faculty memories, printed speeches, and an independently researched and written memoir of the history of the Washington Square Journal.
