Biographical Note

Kate Hevner Mueller was born Kate Lucile Hevner on November 1, 1898 in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania. Her father was a minister and also worked for the YMCA, while her mother was a schoolteacher. She was a middle child, her sister, Edith Dell was older and her brother, George was younger. Upon graduating from Williamsport (Pennsylvania) High School in 1916, she attended Wilson College, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. At Wilson, her major was English, but a Psychology class sparked her interest in that discipline. After teaching mathematics at a high school for two years, she moved to New York to attend Columbia University, this time majoring in Psychology. The work of psychologist L.L. Thurstone at the University of Chicago inspired Kate Hevner to apply for a fellowship at that school to work under his direction towards a doctoral degree. Thurstone accepted her, and in 1928, she earned her doctoral degree in Psychology, with her thesis entitled, An Empirical Study of Three Psychophysical Methods. Coincidentally, John Mueller, her future husband, also earned his doctorate at the University of Chicago in 1928 (in Sociology), but the two did not meet until 3 years later.

Upon earning her doctorate, Kate Hevner accepted a position at the University of Minnesota teaching Psychology. Not only did she teach introductory courses in Psychology, but also more advanced courses in Aesthetics, a special interest of hers which would lead the University of Oregon to "borrow" her to further develop her research in the study of the Aesthetics of Art. While working in Oregon in 1931, Kate Hevner first met John Mueller, who also had an interest in Aesthetics and Art. Letters began passing between the two, with greater and greater frequency, until they were married in 1935. Immediately after the wedding, the couple moved to Bloomington, Indiana, where John Mueller had accepted an associate professorship in Sociology.

Kate Mueller taught part-time at the IU extension campus in Indianapolis until she accepted the position of Dean of Women at IU in 1938, a position she held for ten years. Even though her work in Psychology and her collaboration in the study of the Aesthetics of art with her husband continued, her new role as Dean of Women moved Kate Mueller to further explore the disciplines of Personnel and Guidance. She became a part of the National Association of Women Deans and Counsellors and editor of the NAWDC Journal throughout the 1960s. After her resignation from the Office of the Dean of Women in 1949, Kate Mueller became an associate professor in the Education department, teaching Psychology and later moving on to teaching graduate courses in Personnel and Guidance.

Throughout these years, Kate Hevner Mueller developed into a prolific writer, a noted public speaker, and an esteemed scholar in the fields of Psychology and of Personnel and Guidance. The test for measuring appreciation of music she developed with Robert Seashore in the early 1930s became a standard for many years. In addition to scores of journal articles and corroborations with her husband, Kate Hevner Mueller also wrote Educating Women for a Changing World (1954), and Student Personnel Work in Higher Education, both highly regarded. She traveled the United States and abroad to lecture and to evaluate schools in the areas of Guidance programs, and increasingly, on the subject of women and their role in society.

In 1965, John Mueller had reached the mandatory age of retirement at the University. Just two months after his retirement, however, on September 1st, 1965, John Mueller died after a brief fight with cancer. He was buried on his and Kate Mueller's thirtieth wedding anniversary. Despite the great loss she had suffered in losing both her husband and her partner in academic pursuits, Kate Mueller continued working well into the 1970s. She continued to teach at Indiana until 1969, and then teaching for a year at the University of Florida. Even after retirement, she was still highly sought as a speaker and advisor. In 1973, she finished the study that she and John Mueller had worked on intermittently for 30 years, Twenty-Seven Major American Symphony Orchestras: A History and Analysis of Their Repertoires, Seasons 1842-43 through 1969-1970. She continued pursuing her interests, spending more time travelling abroad and enjoying the rich cultural atmosphere at Indiana and in Bloomington. However, the last five years of her life were marked with illness and physical limitations on the engagement of her varied interests. Kate Hevner Mueller died August 10, 1984, five days after suffering a stroke.

Throughout her life, Kate Hevner Mueller won numerous awards and honors, both for her research and her contributions to the areas of Psychology and Personnel and Guidance.

Scope and Content Note

The papers of Kate Hevner Mueller comprise 12 cubic feet and cover a span of time from her young childhood until just a few years before her death in 1984. Kate Mueller was very meticulous, she kept virtually all her correspondence and research notes, much of which is annotated to explain its importance and relevance. Most of the collection is from the 1950s and 1960s, but a great deal also exists from her childhood and college days. The papers are organized into the following series:

Biographical and Personal Material: This series is subdivided into three subseries: Clippings- Newspaper and Magazine Clippings about KHM; Childhood and Student Papers, Stories, Report Cards, and Yearbooks- Stories and poems written by KHM as a child, report cards from grade school through college, class notes from high school and college, high school and college yearbooks, which feature school pictures and articles written by KHM; General Biographical and Personal Files- Awards, financial documents, biographies, reviews of her books, her wedding announcement, contracts, college commencement announcements, resume, etc.

Memoirs and Journals: Kate Mueller began writing her memoirs, both of her private life and her professional life. Some errors exist in the manuscripts, however. Some of the dates are off by five years, and some of the order of things is a bit skewed. The journals date mainly from KHM's early teenage years through college and a brief diary (mainly of appointments and activities) from 1981.

Correspondence: Easily the largest series. Most of the letters are from the 1950s-1960s, but is fairly weighty for the other years as well. This series is separated into three categories: Correspondence with John Mueller- When they met, he lived in Oregon and she lived in Minnesota, so letters passed between them daily for a few years before they were married in 1935. Subject- These are letters which were better classified by subject rather than by correspondent because many times KHM only wrote to an individual once or at most a couple of times, or she wrote to many people about the same thing. General- This is organized in alphabetical order with the correspondent. For the most part, these people carried on a significant correspondence with KHM or it lasted over many years. Explanatory details are included on the folder and below to further identify the correspondents and the contents.

Research Notes: This is split into two subseries: Twenty-Seven Major American Symphony Orchestras: a history and analysis of their repertoires, seasons 1842-1843 through 1969-1970 - this is the book that Kate Mueller finished in 1973. Her notes for the book are numerous enough to warrant this separate subseries. The folders do not really have a consistent or adequate labeling system, but rather than take the chance on misrepresenting the contents, the original names have been retained, but have been organized into headings such as CHARTS and NATIONALITIES below to give some organization to the multiplicity of naming methods. General Research Notes- These are all her other notes which do not pertain to the book or to class work. These folders are organized alphabetically by subject.

Teaching/Class notes: Kate Hevner Mueller kept a great deal of her class materials. They are organized into these subseries: Subject- These are notes taken or collected by KHM for use in her classes. Classes- This subseries is organized by the names/numbers of the individual classes that KHM taught and contains the materials she used for that particular class, including syllabi, assignments, and final examinations. Student Work- These folders contain work submitted by students of KHM, some dated, some undated.

Professional Organizations: Kate Mueller was involved with many organizations and because of her expertise in many disciplines, she was used professionally a great deal. The material found in this series has to do with her professional activities both within groups and as an individual scholar.

Writings: This is subcategorized into the following subseries: Speeches/Radio Addresses- typescripts of speeches, outlines, and transcripts for public speaking. Reviews- Kate Mueller reviewed many books and articles in both Psychology and Guidance and Counselling. Also included are reviews about works written by Mueller. Published Works- These are articles, monographs, and drafts for books. Included are both edited drafts and final copies, in addition to the publication themselves in some cases. Other writings and books- This contains unidentified writings by KHM, or otherwise unclassified drafts. Also contained here are the editions of books she either wrote or contributed to in some way. Not all the books she wrote are included here.

Miscellaneous materials: These materials were added to the collection after it had been processed and can all be found in Box 12. It primarily consists of record albums used in Kate and John's research. Also included are microfilm of sheet music and data taken during their research.

Arrangement

Organized into seven series: Biographical and personal material, Memoirs and journals, Correspondence, Research notes, Teaching/class notes, Professional organizations, and Writings.
