Abstract
This project is a compilation of interviews
of subjects with strong ties to and memories of Indiana University, primarily at the
Bloomington campus, including former students, faculty, and staff, among others. The
information spans most of the twentieth century and deals with the administrations under
presidents Herman B Wells, John Ryan, Thomas Ehrlich, and Myles Brand. The project
occurred in two parts. The first round of interviews was with administrators, trustees,
and other high-ranking members of the university hierarchy. The second round of
interviews was with senior faculty from a number of departments in the College of Arts
and Sciences. The project is a survey of Indiana University's history as a whole
including information about various academic departments, athletics, student
organizations, campus growth, and the university's growth in the twentieth century. This
project was funded by President Emeritus John Ryan.
Scope and Content Note
This collection contains 194 interviews conducted over 7 years. All interviews consist
of audio tapes and typed transcripts, as well as collateral materials.

Usage Restrictions
The archive of the Center for Documentary Research and Practice at Indiana University
is open to the use of researchers. Copies of transcript pages are available only when
such copies are permitted by the deed of gift. Scholars must honor any restrictions
the interviewee placed on the use of the interview. Since some of our earlier
(pre-computer) transcripts do not exist in final form, any editing marks in a
transcript (deletions, additions, corrections) are to be quoted as marked. Audio
files may not be copied for patrons unless the deed of gift permits it, and a
transcript is unavailable for that interview. The same rules of use that apply to a
transcript apply to the audio interview. Interviews may not be reproduced in full for
any public use, but excerpted quotes may be used as long as researchers fully cite
the data in their research, including accession number, interview date, interviewee's
and interviewer's name, and page(s).
