Shuster, Dr. Edward Davison, Professor Livingston Welch, and the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York. The purpose of the Opera Association was to facilitate the production of operas under the auspices of Hunter College and to create opportunities for talented young singers. The Opera Association was primarily responsible for selecting, organizing, raising funds, and publicizing pending productions by the Opera Workshop. The bulk of the funds raised derived from private donations and sponsorships. The funds provided scholarships for singers and allowed for the presentations of three to four operas per season. The Hunter College Opera Workshop was established on a modest basis in 1945 as a non-credit adult education program within the Hunter College School of General Studies by Fritz Stiedry, who had formerly conducted the Berlin State Opera House. He later became conductor at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Stiedry was succeeded by Josef Turnau who served under him and who gave the Workshop its initial momentum and laid solid foundations for its later growth and fruition. Succeeding directors of the Workshop included Madame Rose Landver, Carolyn Lockwood, and William Tarrasch. Students enrolled in the Opera Workshop learned basic singing, acting techniques, body movement and dancing, fencing, make-up for stage, costuming, scenic and lighting design, as well as role preparation and diction. Students also partook in operatic excerpts and some even participated in opera theatre productions either in leading or supporting roles, as well as chorus work. The first full production by Hunter College Opera Workshop that was sponsored by the Hunter College Opera Association was Handel’s Xerxes in 1953, which received rave reviews. Subsequent productions that were performed included What Men Live By, by Bohuslov Martinu, The Farmer and the Fay, by Alexander Tcherepnin, and Bay Boys in School, by Jan Meyerowitz and Fra Diavolo by Auber in 1956; Il Tabarro by Puccini and Riders to the Sea by Vaugh Williams in 1957; Les Malheurs d’Orphee by Darius Milhaud and The Marriage Merchant by Rossini in 1958; and Don Perlimplin by Vitorio Rieti, Pepito by Garcia Lorca, and Cosi Fan Tuffe by Mozart in 1959. Hunter College Opera Workshop productions continued to be performed through the 1960’s. The artistic and musical success of the Opera Workshop produced a number of graduates who went on to have successful careers. Many students became respected professionals. Among the most successful students was Martina Arroyo, who joined the Workshop while still a student at Hunter College High School. She went on to win the Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the Air, recorded for Westminster and performed a successful European tour. Other graduates joined American and European opera houses, or performed on radio and television. In 1971, the Hunter College Opera Workshop and the Opera Association were discontinued due to dwindling financial support and a diminished interest in the degree program. Maria Enaboifo Julio L. Hernandez-Delgado 4 �SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The purpose of the Hunter College Opera Association was “to facilitate the production of operas under the auspices of Hunter College and to create opportunities for talented young singers through scholarship grants and other assistance that might help to launch them on their careers.” With this goal in mind the Hunter College Opera Association was viewed by leading operatic figures and other civic leaders as an important feature on the American operatic scene. Outstanding artists and directors who graduated from the Workshop included Jean Keis, Hans Kuhn, William Lewis, Alan Smith, William Stelling, Barbara Owens, Eva Marie Wolff, and Martina Arroyo. The Hunter College Opera Association Collection contains few documents on the Hunter College Opera Workshop and even fewer materials on the musical productions that were sponsored by the Hunter College Opera Association. Much of the correspondence documents contributions to Hunter College Opera Association and highlight its fund raising efforts. There is a small assortment of promotional materials consisting of programs, flyers, and brochures which summarize the history and accomplishments of the Hunter College Opera Association and the Hunter College Opera Workshop. In addition, there are folders on three of the Workshop’s musical directors: Carolyn Lockwood, Joseph Turnau, and William Tarrasch. The Hunter College Opera Association Collection is small in size, but it should be of interest to aficionados of opera and to scholars who have an interest in researching one of the 228 opera workshops which sprung up among 47 states between 1953 and 1958. 5 �SERIES DESCRIPTION Series I – Administration Series I consists of annual reports, articles, by-laws, minutes of the Board of Directors, correspondence, memoranda, personnel files, and programs of dramatic productions. The folders are arranged alphabetically. Series II – Musical Directors Series II contains files on former musical directors Josef Turnau (1946 - 1954), Carolyn Lockwood (1961 - 1963), and William Tarrasch (1964 - 1971). The folders are arranged by each director’s term in office.

Hunter College Galleries None. Range 3 Section 8 Shelf 48 Prof. Julio L. Hernandez-Delgado Ms. Christina Melendez-Lawrence Ms. Dane Guerrero October, 1994 December, 2012 �HISTORICAL NOTE The original art gallery at Hunter College was established in1975 and was located in Thomas Hunter Hall Room 106. The Hunter Arts Gallery showcased the works of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, and the works of outstanding artists like Joseph Alabresse, Kampo Harada, and Michael Strauss among others. In 1978, the Hunter Arts Gallery was apparently reconstituted as the Hunter Gallery. The paucity of documents fails to reveal if the gallery remained in Thomas Hunter Hall or was moved to a different location. The Hunter Gallery continued to showcase the creative works of talented individuals. Honorable mention include the drawings by Tony Smith, Raymond Saunders, Jill Moser; paintings by Susan Barrett, Johannes Geccelli, Claire Lofrese, Evelyn Lopez de Guzman, Jill Nathanson, Dane R. Goodman, Angel Rodriguez Diaz, Michael Strauss, and Richard Wood; photographs by Karen Bell and Luke Holland; sculpture by Sheila Ross; and numerous others. In 1984 the Hunter Gallery was renamed the Hunter College Art Gallery and was relocated to the lobby of the recently inaugurated west tower of Hunter College. On March 8, 1987, the Hunter College Art Gallery was rededicated as The Bertha and Karl Leubsdorf Art Gallery. In addition to hosting the annual Hunter College BFA exhibition, the gallery has also showcased the works of outstanding artists like Julius Goldstein, Roy Decarava, Max Beerbohm, Vincent Campanella, Stephane Mallarme, John Eberson, Ralph Humphrey, Fritz Bultman, William E. Starkweather, Claire Bloom, and Vincent Longo. Little is known about the gallery in the North Building of Hunter College, but we do know that exhibits were held there for the years 1991-1995. Hunter College began its MFA program in the Fall of 1981. MFA student projects were annually exhibited in Thomas Hunter Hall through the Spring of 1991. But commencing in the Fall of 1991 all MFA student projects were showcased at The Gallery at Hunter College (a.k.a. the Art Gallery and the Voorhees Gallery) which was reconstituted as the Hunter College/ Times Square Gallery in 1995. This gallery focuses on exhibiting the works of MFA students, faculty works, New York Area MFA students, and the works of renowned artists like Robert Huot, Raymond Saunders, and Antoni Milkowski. �SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Hunter College Gallery Collection consists of flyers, photographs, postcards, posters, and programs of exhibitions that were showcased at Hunter College from 1975 - 2012. The exhibitions were well publicized and drew aficionados from New York City and from the Tri-State area. Each of the college galleries are identified with their corresponding documents arranged alphabetically by the artist’s surname, exhibition, and/or function. The bulk of the collection consists of flyers and postcards that visually capture the essence of each exhibition. One obvious shortcoming of the collection is the absence of biographical information and photographs for most of the participating artists. This would have greatly enhanced the scope and variety of the exhibitions and/or functions that were held at Hunter College since 1975. Researchers who crave for information about artistic exhibitions in college galleries will find this collection to be appealing, informative, and historic for the periods documented. �CONTAINER LIST HUNTER ARTS GALLERY Box 1 Folder 1 Contents Announcements and Flyers, 1975 - 1978 The Anthropology of Art Batiks Cuban Posters Fiber Art Display of Student Drawings Hunter Art Faculty Liberty Long Cut Kampo Harada Open Undergraduate Exhibition Participatory Sound Environment Poetry Reading Possibility of Colonizing Space Student Films Undergraduate Art Department Exhibit Viewpoints Ten Photographers 2 Posters and Programs, 1975 - 1977 7 Black Artists Spring 1975 Fall 1975 Spring 1976 Fall 1976 Small World Works of Children Spring 1977 News & Notes New Year Issue, 1997 Flyers and Posters The Architectural Model and Renderings for the New Hunter College BFA Works by Bachelor of Fine Arts Candidates Bread & Puppet Calligraphy by Kampo Harada Ceramics & Wall Hangings 3 �HUNTER ARTS GALLERY Box 1 Folder 3 Contents Flyers and Posters Chinese Calligraphy City Sounds Environmental Sound Compositions Continuous Showing of Student Films Dance Therapy Multimedia Presentation Environmental Experience Exhibit Fiber Structures Clay Forms Graduate Painting Show Haitian Art Exhibit Paintings & Sculptures New Notes & Notations Signs, Images, Symbols Pa intings by Evelyn Lopez deGuzman Photography Exhibition of Student Color Sculptural Maquettes by Joseph Alabresse Signs, Images, Symbols Six 1 - Man Shows Michael Strauss Paintings Student Graphics Student Group Shows Student Works Strings and No Strings Leonard Suib’s Puppets and Puppets through the Ages Theatre Design Walk Through Environment XMAS Bazaar �HUNTER ARTS GALLERY Box 1 Folder 4 Contents Announcements and Flyers, 1978 - 1980, 1982 - 1983 Color Sensation Movement Johannes Geccelli Paintings The Nature of Baskets Form and Function of North American Indian Baskets Pueblo Pottery Tradition & Change in the Southwest Puerto Rican Posters from the Collection of Rosita Maldonado Student Christmas Show and Sale 5 Postcards, 1979 - 1981 Susan Barrett & Jill Nathanson Paintings Karen Bell-Photographs & Jackie Shatz-Sculpture Guy De Cointet: The Set From Tell Me Sallie Douglas: I Wish I Knew, Paintings Dane R.

Committee members worked as a cohesive unit and were instrumental in preparing a detailed inventory of surviving alumni records which served as a framework for the eventual arrangement of said collection. Mr. Schwartz (Class of 1959) must be publicly acknowledged for having collaborated with Professor Hernandez-Delgado in transforming a disjointed accumulation of materials into a remarkable resource for researchers and scholars. In 2013, Professor Hernandez-Delgado, and Maria Enaboifo, Adjunct Professor, examined the Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College and afterwards realized that it needed to be revised to primarily reflect the particulars of the organization and its interaction with Hunter College and the public. Careful examination of the original alumni collection revealed that it contained a variety of materials that were not directly related to the organization. These non-alumni materials were removed from the collection with the understanding that they would be incorporated in the forthcoming Normal/Hunter College Collection. Mrs. Enaboifo and Dr. Sherby must be commended for revising the Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College and for effectively proof reading and editing the text of the finding aid respectively. The completely revised alumni collection better reflects the historical evolution of an organization that, in many respects, parallels the magnificent growth of Hunter College. Julio L.

Alumnae who gathered materials of historic value may remain anonymous, but a New York Times obituary in 1960 credits Risa Lowie with organizing the alumnae archives in the early 1950’s. Miss Lowie, Class of 1905, was followed by Isabelle F. Weill, Class of 1926, and Virginia Zuckerman, Class of 1955, who served as chair and co-chair of the Alumni Archives Committee. Elizabeth Vera Loeb Stern, Class of 1915, functioned as the Association’s historian. In 1974, the archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College were donated to Hunter College and were deposited in the Archives Centre (predecessor of Archives and Special Collections). Located in the former F.B.I. building on 69th Street and Third Avenue, the Archives Centre moved to the former Foundling Hospital on 68th Street and Third Avenue, before relocating to Archives & Special Collections in the Jacqueline Grennan Wexler Library in 1983. The Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College span the years 1872 to 2014. The collection consists of annual reports, constitutions and by-laws, Board of Directors’ minutes, committee rosters and minutes, correspondence, financial reports, memoranda, broadsides, publications, programs of dramatic productions, Hunter Hall of Fame booklets, magazine and newspaper articles and clippings, scrapbooks, autograph booklets, notebooks, photographs, and memorabilia items consisting of badges, medals, banners, chains, cufflinks, pins, rings, and woodblock presses. The early history of the Alumnae Association of Hunter College is best documented in the annual reports which highlight alumni activities and concerns for the years 1886 - 1938. Decisions rendered by the Board of Directors and Executive Committee/Council are delineated in their minutes from 1888 - 1976. Key documents include the incorporation papers of the Associate Alumnae of the Normal College of the City of New York, the “Change of Name” campaign (Normal to Hunter College) that succeeded in 1914, and the establishment of the Scholarship and Welfare Fund to name a few. The minutes of the committees and subcommittees reflect the spirit of alumnae who undertook an assortment of projects like the establishment of the Alumnae Breakfast, the Alumnae Hall, the Lenox Hill Settlement House, the Graduate Gift Fund, and the patriotic response to World War I and World War II. The ability of the alums to organize outside of Hunter College is demonstrated in the establishment of chapters in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, New Haven, Westchester, Southern California, Michigan, Florida, Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. One chapter which may be of interest to researchers and scholars is the Wistarian Chapter. This chapter was established in 1956 by African-American graduates of Hunter College who sought to support their constituency and alma mater by sponsoring cultural events and fund-raising activities. The broadsides, correspondence, minutes, photographs, publications, newspaper articles and clippings, and scrapbooks of the chapters of the Alumni Association document their commitment and unselfish support for Hunter College. 13 �In 2013, Professor Julio Hernandez-Delgado, and Maria Enaboifo, Adjunct Professor, met and agreed to scale back the original collection of the Alumni Association of Hunter College to primarily reflect the particulars of the organization and its interaction with Hunter College and the public. Careful examination of the original alumni collection revealed that it contained a variety of materials that were not directly related to the organization. These non-alumni materials were removed from the collection with the understanding that they would be incorporated in the forthcoming Normal/Hunter College Collection. The original arrangement of the Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College consisted of 10 series and 34 subseries. By removing non-alumni materials from the collection the current edition of the alumni collection currently consists of 8 series and 17 subseries. Series I – Administration was reorganized into 9 clearly defined subseries. Former Series IV – Distinguished Alumni was renamed Notable Alumni and former subseries 4.3 Memorials and 4.4 Obituaries were merged with subseries 4.2 Individuals. They are now arranged alphabetically by surname. Former Series V – Student Materials was renamed Writings and now consists of subseries 5.1 Autograph Books, 5.2 Notebooks, 5.3 Poems, and 5.4 Scrapbooks. Series VI – Photographs originally consisted of 12 subseries of college-wide black & white and color visuals and negatives. This series was drastically scaled back to 2 subseries and now includes images of alums and alumni activities and events. Lastly, former Series X – Alumni Writing was merged with Series V – Writings and former Series IX – Subject Files was removed from the collection and its contents will be incorporated in the forthcoming Normal/Hunter College Collection. The Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College illuminates the extraordinary history of an association whose primary function was to serve the needs of its members and their alma mater.

She received a Bachelor of Arts (1926) and a Masters of Arts (ca. 1930) from Brown University, and later acquired a Ph. D from the University of Chicago. Landers joined the Department of Mathematics at Hunter College in July 1933, and continued to teach until 1975 when she retired as a full professor. During her tenure at Hunter College Landers was actively involved in a variety of college-wide committees like the Grievance Committee. Two of the most engaging assignments involved the development of a new Computer Science program for the Departments of Mathematics and Science and the chairing of the Advisory Board on Plant Planning. Landers’ most active role was as secretary of the Legislative Conference from 1959 to 1972. The Legislative Conference was formerly established in 1938. For most of its history the Legislative Conference represented the interests of the entire instructional staff of the city colleges-library, laboratory, registrars, business and medical staffs as well as the teaching faculty. Among the Conference's primary concerns were salaries, retirement benefits, curriculum changes, and promotional policies. It served as an informal negotiator, working with school administrators, the Board of Higher Education, and city and state legislatures to develop policies that were beneficial to the instructional staff. By 1967, however, New York City had established the Municipal Office of Collective Bargaining, and the state had passed a law that regulated for the first time the activities of employee representative organizations. The Legislative Conference could no longer function successfully without being recognized as the exclusive representative of the City University staffs. In 1968, following an election, the Legislative Conference was named the sole collective bargaining agent for tenured teaching faculty; the United Federation of College Teachers (UFCT) would represent the non-teaching instructional staff, as well as temporary and adjunct professors. The Legislative Conference became affiliated with the New York State Teachers Association (NYSTA) and the National Education Association (NEA) in 1970. This allowed the Legislative Conference to use many of the resources of many influential state and national organizations while still maintaining its autonomy. In 1972, when the affiliation agreement between the Legislative Conference, NYSTA, and NEA expired, the Legislative Conference merged with the United Federation of College Teachers (UFCT) to form the Professional Staff Congress. For the first time CUNY had a single unified organization serving as the legal bargaining agent for all the instructional staffs of The City University of New York. This collection reveals Landers’ active involvement in nearly all aspects of the Legislative Conference. She was an early advocate of academic collective bargaining and was instrumental in developing and creating many of the organization’s policies. 3 �Mary K. Landers taught mathematics at Hunter College for 42 years. Landers was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the New York Academy of Sciences. She retired as professor emeritus of mathematics at Hunter College in 1975. In 1985, Rita Morgan was inducted in the Hunter Hall of Fame primarily for work as a peace activist and for her advocacy of the hungry and the homeless worldwide. Landers unfortunately developed cancer and died at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island on November 20, 1990. She was survived by her two sons Robert and Richard, her daughter Patricia and by her two sisters, Margaret Rowell and Rita Hitchinson. Gretchen Opie Julio L. Hernandez-Delgado 4 �SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Mary K. Landers Papers consists of documents that she acquired from her association with the Legislative Conference and Hunter College of the City University of New York between 1957 and 1975. In addition, there are also materials that document her work as a professor of mathematics and her involvement in a variety of department and college-wide committees. The collection also contains materials from the honor societies of which she was a member, and from the Hunter College Library. One important aspect of the collection are the records from the Advisory Board on Plant Development, a committee Landers was involved with from 1962 to 1969. The committee worked with department representatives, developers, and architects to plan the construction of what eventually became the East and West towers of Hunter College. Materials in the collection include departmental space requests and recommendations, minutes, correspondence, reports from subcommittees, and building programs. The bulk of the papers consists of materials from the Legislative Conference. As secretary of the Conference from 1959 to 1972, Landers amassed an array of materials that document the activities of the organization. In addition to her own materials, Landers managed to save documents and correspondence of Belle Zeller, first president of the Legislative Conference and Mary R. Sheehan, the Conference’s former secretary. The Papers highlight the work of the Legislative Conference from 1938 to 1972. It includes a complete set of the minutes of the Legislative Conference that were edited by Landers, as well as administrative records, directories, financial documents, correspondence, and the Conference’s two news publications, the Legislative Conference News and The Reporter. Many of the documents cover budget, salary and tenure negotiations, minutes, correspondence, and reports. Landers also served as chair of the Hunter College Grievance Committee from 1970 to 1972, and kept extensive records of the grievances she dealt with during that time. In addition, there are also documents relating to several significant events in the Conference’s history, including the election that named it the sole collective bargaining agent for career faculty, the affiliation between the Conference, New York State Teachers Association (NYYSTA) and the National Education Association (NEA), and the merger between the Legislative Conference and the United Federation of College Teachers (UFCT). Although the papers contain little biographical information on Landers, they do reveal her association and commitment to the Legislative Conference allowed her to preserve an important and thorough documentation of the work of CUNY’s first official legal representative of the career faculty. 5 �SERIES DESCRIPTION Series I – Biographical Information Subseries I consists of three articles which provide brief information on the life of Mary K.

Hernandez-Delgado Ms. Dane Guerrero June 2010 Revised: November 2014 3 �BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Marjorie Phillis Pearle was born in the Bronx, New York on February 2, 1934. She was one of two children born to Joseph Pearle (a certified public accountant and attorney) and Cecelia (Klein) Pearle, both of whom were Hungarian. Marjorie graduated from Hunter College High School on June 21, 1951, and subsequently received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in English and Anthropology from Hunter College on June 16, 1955. Marjorie’s academic success (Magna Cum Laude) enabled her to become a member of Phi Beta Kappa shortly after graduation. Marjorie continued her interest in Anthropology at Columbia University where she attended from 1955 to 1956, but failed to graduate from said university. On January 5, 1957, Marjorie married Herbert M. Katz which resulted in the births of son Daniel Seth and daughter Nina Judith. The marriage lasted 16 years but dissolved in divorce in 1973. After 3 years as a divorcee Marjorie met and married Norman Weiser (a radio producer and public relations manager) on November 26, 1976. Marjorie and Norman remained as a couple until Marjorie passed away in 1996. After leaving Columbia University in 1956 Marjorie accepted a post as an editorial trainee with The Rockefeller Foundation, Office of Publications, in New York City. Marjorie’s next assignment was with Funk and Wagnalls where she worked as an associate editor in the trade book department from 1957 to 1960. Between 1960 and 1978 Marjorie became a free-lance writer, but she continued to work as a development editor through 1990 with Beard Glasser Wolf (independent packager producing books on food and cookery), Prentice-Hall (Book Project Division), Cambridge Book Company (Simon & Shuster Educational Division), Chelsea House, and Worth Publishers. Marjorie was attentive, meticulous, productive, and excelled in completing publisher related assignments. While diligently working as a development editor with the aforementioned companies, Marjorie somehow managed to author and co-author a total of 16 books. Some of her key publications include Pegs to Hang Ideas On (1972), Shaped by Hands (1975), Ethnic America (1978), Womanlist (1981), and Snapshots (1984) to name a few. In a March 22, 1981, New York Times Book Review of Womanlist Marjorie explains the task of being an editor and writer: For me, the challenge of being an editor and writer lies in the opportunity to explore a variety of subject areas, and to present information to specific audiences. The joy of working both with ideas and people can be found in few other occupations – and here it produces a useful lasting product. Marjorie’s work as a development editor and writer did not deter her from being actively involved with the Alumni Association of Hunter College (1982 - 1990?), the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association (1973 -1990?), and Temple Shaaray Tefilia in New York City (1974 - 1990?). Marjorie P.K. Weiser passed away in 1996 and left a legacy of an individual who loved her family and friends and who cherished life with passion. 4 �SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Marjorie P.K. Weiser Papers primarily document her affiliation with the Hunter College High School (Class of 1951) and with Hunter College of the City of New York (Class of 1955). It also highlights her active and simultaneous participation with the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association and with the Alumni Association of Hunter College. The files that pertain to Weiser’s years at Hunter College High School and her subsequent participation with the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association include, among other things, notebooks on Biology and Hygiene (1948 -1951), committee minutes (1986 - 1992), reminiscences by select alums of their years at the high school, and publications that Weiser either wrote for or actually spearheaded; these would include Alumnotes (1979 -1996), An AlumNotes Extra (1987 - 1988), AlumNotes Reunion Extra (1990 - 1994), Hunter Hi-Lites (n.d.), That’s What’s Special (1990 - 1991), and What’s What (1951, 1980, 1987, 1990, 1992). The files that relate to Weiser’s undergraduate years at Hunter College include awards, report cards, research papers, and copies of specific Hunter College publications. Documents that are associated with the Alumni Association of Hunter College consist of correspondence, financial reports, minutes, etc. The Marjorie P.K. Weiser Papers provide researchers with an opportunity to comprehend the intricacies of student life by sifting through unique documents that were left by an extraordinary individual who attended and graduated from Hunter College High School and Hunter College during the first half of the 20th Century. 5 �SERIES DESCRIPTION SERIES I - BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Series I consists of biographical entries in Contemporary Authors (1983) and in Something About the Author Facts and Pictures about Authors and Illustrators (1994). In addition there is a questionnaire from the University of California that Marjorie responded to in 1985. Lastly, there is a copy of a eulogy that was presented by Norman Weiser on May 21, 1996. SERIES II - HUNTER COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL Subseries 2.1 – Notebooks Subseries 2.2 – Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association Subseries 2.1 includes Marjorie’s Hunter College High School diploma, dated June 26, 1951, and several Biology and Hygiene notebooks spanning the years 1948 through 1951. In addition, there are materials regarding the Senior Show and Sing for 1951; there is also a Senior Proclamation dated April 1951. Series 2.2 documents Marjorie’s active involvement with the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association. Of possible interest to researchers are the folders on the history of the school and reminiscences of former students Esther Hoffman Beller, Shirley Unger, and Edna Lewinson, which are recorded on cassette tapes. Also included are transcripts of interviews for Esther Hoffman Beller, Viola Herman Selling, and Edna Lewinson. Another interesting component of this subseries includes copies of Alumnotes (1979 - 1994), An Alum Extra (1987 - 1988), AlumNotes Reunion Extra (1990 - 1994), Hunter Hi-Lites (n.d.), That’s What’s Special (1990 - 1992), and What’s What (1951, 1980, 1987, 1990, 1992) which Marjorie helped to produce. SERIES III – HUNTER COLLEGE Subseries 3.1 Alumni Association of Hunter College Series III documents Marjorie’s tenure as an undergraduate student and her outstanding academic achievement at Hunter College by graduating Magna Cum Laude. Marjorie’s awards, report cards, and research papers provide a glimpse of an astute and disciplined individual who enjoyed her years at Hunter College and who was determined to succeed in life. Subseries 3.1 highlights Marjorie’s active involvement with the Alumni Association of Hunter College. 6 �CONTAINER LIST SERIES I – BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Box 1 Folder 1 Contents Contemporary Authors A Bio-Bibliographical Guide to Current Writers in Fiction, General Nonfiction, Poetry, Journalism, Drama, Motion Pictures, Television, and Other Fields.

Mildred Speiser None Range 4 Section 5 Shelf 28-29 Yingwen Huang February 2014 2 �BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Mildred Speiser was born in New York City. As the oldest child of the family, she is five and a half years older than her younger brother, Kenneth Speiser. Her family is of Hungarian origin. Her mother, Bertha Weiss, left Hungary after the First World War and traveled to the United States; she arrived in New York on July 4th, 1921. Her father, Irving Speiser, who studied engineering in Hungary, also left the country after the First World War. He later traveled to Canada and was working in the fur trade. Through a mutual connection in New York, Bertha and Irving met and were later married in 1930. After their marriage, the family lived together in New York while Bertha deemed herself the "house-executive" and Irving founded a fur company. Mildred grew up in a brownstone house on the fourth floor with her family during the depression. As a child, Mildred had always had great interest in both mathematics and rhetoric due to the influence of her father's expertise in mathematics, engineering, and geography. In addition, she has always preferred to participate in intellectual discussions with others rather than adopting the typical feminine role in a traditional household. Her early development was later reflected in her enthusiastic involvement in various organizations. Mildred attended P.S. 166 Elementary School and Joan of Arc Junior High School. While she was attending Hunter College High School, she founded the History Club and actively participated in the General Organization, G.O. Cheering Squad, Campaign Committee, Publicity Committee, Assembly Committee, Constitution Revision Committee, Term Central Project Committee, Math Club, Hunter Forum, etc. She was also the Treasurer and Representative for her class. Her highly outspoken and assertive personality contributed to her zealous involvement in many student activities. As the advertising manager of the Hunter College High School Publications, she received support from advertising companies for the Annals and the Argus. With Mildred’s help, her graduating class was able to produce the most inexpensive yearbook. In January 1949, Mildred graduated from high school. Mildred continued her education at Hunter College. Even though she was working part-time while enrolled in the part-time sessions, she continued to be active in various extracurricular activities. She was a member of the Political Science Club, Nite Lites, House Plan, SING, Upper Sophomore Class Day Show and Dance Committee, Staff-Student Social Committee, Board of Trustees for Graduate Scholarship, and the Treasurer of the Young Democrats. She was also involved in student government matters where she served as the Publicity Chair, Vice President of the Junior Class, and Council Representative of the Class of January 1953. She also participated in the Model Congress where she presented a proposal with her team. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Political Science in January 1953. After Mildred received her Bachelor’s degree, she began her teaching career at P.S. 166 as a daily substitute while she was working towards her Master’s degree. In June 1955, she received her Master’s in Education from Hunter College. In addition, she also did additional graduate work at Cornell University, New York University, University of Montana, and University of Colorado. As a person who prefers the challenge of changing, she later continued her teaching career in various junior high schools teaching art and mathematics; she also lectured in graduate mathematics, business, and teacher training courses at Hunter College and Marymount Manhattan College as well as Adult Education at the Board of Education despite the fact that she had no academic background in the fields she taught in. As an educator, Mildred believed that her duty was to bring diversity together to enhance the students’ academic as well as social experience. 3 �BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH However, Mildred was not only an educator. She was also a sales lady at Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, a camp counselor, a group leader at private and girl scout camps, a travel consultant, a wedding planner, an entrepreneur, a cast teacher, an editor, and a writer. As an entrepreneur, she founded Arthur Farms Inc. and manufactured gourmet pickles with customers such as Bloomingdale’s, Altman’s and Zabar’s. In the past, she also worked with Robert Goulet, a famous actor, and she taught Macauley and Kieran Culkin in the cast of the “Home Alone” series. She was also the public relations consultant and a Board Member of the Shadow Box Theatre. The diversity in Mildred's career choices mirrors her impressive character. Moreover, Mildred was the founder and a Board Member of the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association. After her graduation from the Hunter College High School, she became highly involved in organizing alumni reunions for her class. She kept in touch with her classmates and held on to all the letters she received from them. She proudly proclaims that she has collected 98% of the information for her class with only 2 people missing. At the 1975 Alumni Association Reunion, Mildred, as one of the first Officers who passed the by-laws, was elected to be the President. She served as the President from 1973 to 1983. In 1983, she was elected to the Hunter College Hall of Fame. She is the President Emerita of the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association, a member of the Campus Schools Building Committee, the Search Committee for Campus Schools Director, and the Campus Schools Advisory Committee for the President of Hunter College. She was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Hunter College Alumni Association and the Sylvia & Danny Kaye Playhouse. She is also a distinguished advisor for students in the Hunter College Public Service Scholars Program. Her hobbies include reading, theater, sports, ping pong, writing poetry and humorous short stories, and traveling. She spent forty years traveling abroad to different countries in each continent; she has been to Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and South America, Europe, Middle East, Canada, the Pacific and Caribbean Region, and 48 states in the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii. The most interesting places she has visited were the Easter Islands, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Tasmania. Moreover, she developed her writing in her later years. She edited Math Skills by Objectives (1988) and published Our '76 Founding Sisters (1976). Her poems and short stories were published in Seeds in the Wind - Ethical Workshop Poets 1968, Echo, the Bloomingdale Poets, and Reflections in Poetry & Prose by the United Federation of Teachers (Retired Teacher’s Chapter). Led by her passion in poetry, she founded a poetry club called Poetry in the Park. She is also the Stalwart Block Association collaborator. Mildred also appeared in multiple international documentaries, such as the "LAPIS EXILLIS- Lost Secrets of the Illuminati" (2011) and "Awaking the Latent Energies of the Master Building from New York" by Leonardo O. Amaral (2010). After Mildred’s retirement, she continues to participate in various community activities. She is currently the longest resident in the Master Apartments, a landmark building in New York City, where she has been living for at least 52 years since 1961. She is knowledgeable in all aspects regarding the building and she maintains the archives of the Master Apartments. In addition, she also gave presentations at various events such as the Women's History Month and Leadership Conference at Hunter College. She is also a computer teacher at the Jewish Community Center, a conductor at the Poetry Workshops in New York, lecturer at the Block & Hexter Elderhostel and Kislak Adult Center in Pennsylvania, and a speaker at the Israeli Humanitarian Foundation.

Hernandez-Delgado Ms. Gretchen Opie Ms. Nicole Thomas June 1999 November 2014 Date: Revised: 3 �BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Kate Simon was born Kaila Grubschmeidt in Warsaw, Poland on December 5, 1912. At the age of four, with her mother and younger brother, she immigrated to the United States where they joined her father who had already been there for more than two years. In 1917 the family settled in a Jewish immigrant neighborhood in the Bronx. Simon was raised in a traditional Jewish family with a father she has described as “tyrannical.” Her mother, unlike other women in the neighborhood, had once owned her own shop in Poland, and encouraged her daughter to get an education and to be financially independent before she married. After a difficult childhood, Simon left home at fifteen and supported herself with a variety of jobs. Eventually she was able to work her way through college, and in 1937 she graduated from Hunter College with a BA in English. Simon married twice. Her first husband, Dr. Stanley Goldman, died in 1942, and a marriage to publisher Bob Simon ended in divorce in 1960. Her only child, Alexandra, died in 1954 at the age of twenty. Simon began her writing career doing book reviews for several publications including The New Republic and The Nation. She began writing books after a publisher friend suggested she write a travel guide to New York City. The publisher’s idea had been to highlight the most chic and exclusive places in the city, but instead Simon wrote New York Places and Pleasures: An Uncommon Guidebook. Published in 1959 by Harper and Row, it vividly describes lesser known and unusual aspects of New York City from the intimate perspective of someone who had lived there nearly all her life. The book became a bestselling paperback, has been revised four times, and is now considered a classic among New York guidebooks. After the success of her first book, Simon was able to continue writing travel guides, living at her publisher’s expense for months or years at a time in the area she was exploring. Her successful and popular guides include Mexico: Places and Pleasures (1963), London: Places and Pleasures (1968), Kate Simon: Paris Places and Pleasures (1971), Rome: Places and Pleasures (1972), England’s Green and Pleasant Land (1974), Fifth Avenue: A Very Special History (1978), and Italy: The Places in Between (1984). Using the same vivid, descriptive prose she is known for, Simon also published three volumes of memoirs: Bronx Primitive: Portraits of a Childhood (1982), A Wider World: Portraits in Adolescence (1987), and Etchings in an Hourglass (1990). Simon has received several awards for her work. She won the National Book Critics Circle Nomination in 1982 and was named a Books-Across-The-Sea Ambassador of Honor in 1983. Her name was added to the Hunter Hall of Fame in 1983, and in 1989 she received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Hunter College. On February 5, 1990, when she was 77 years old, Kate Simon died from stomach cancer in her home in Manhattan. Gretchen Opie Nicole Thomas 4 �SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Kate Simon was a popular and prolific writer, known for her humor, her honesty and her vivid descriptions of the places and people around her. She was a world traveler who related her varied experiences to her readers in her many guidebooks. Her writings about New York, including her memoirs, have established her as an expert on the city, and she continues to be cited as an authority. The Kate Simon Papers consists of documents dating from 1959 (the year Simon’s first book was published) to 1989 (the year she was diagnosed with stomach cancer). There are personal documents, notes and drafts of Simon’s writing, clippings of articles, reviews of her work, teaching materials, photographs from her travels, and slides that she used during her lectures. The bulk of the collection contains materials relating to Simon’s writings. There are travel logs, journals and handwritten notes which record her initial impressions of the places, people and events she would later write about. Similarly, the photographs in the collection capture the appearance of places described in her guidebooks. The most extensive part of the collection contains typed drafts of Simon’s well-known books and other writings. Simon generally gave the drafts working titles which don’t always correspond to the names of published chapters or section headings. In some cases there is nothing else to identify the pieces, and it can be difficult for the researcher to determine which drafts later became parts of books, which were preparatory writings, and which may have been published as separate articles or essays. It is clear, however, that the drafts included in the collection are fairly comprehensive. There are parts of Etchings in an Hourglass and A Wider View, a musical version of Bronx Primitive, and sections from her various travel guides. A Renaissance Tapestry: The Gonzaga of Mantua is particularly well represented with two extensive drafts. In several cases there are multiple drafts revealing Simon’s successive revisions. The collection as a whole thoroughly documents the various stages of Simon’s writing process, from her initial ideas to the published piece. The papers are as unique and idiosyncratic as Kate Simon herself, and provide researchers with a unique opportunity to better understand Simon’s life and work.
