Collection contains audio cassettes and some transcripts of the
project, in which interviewees described the origin, location, and development in the early
years of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). The interviews, conducted by Frederick
I. Olson, Frank Cassell, and J. Martin Klotsche, were part of UWM's 25th anniversary
celebration. The interviewees were officials of UWM, the UW System, and local and state
government, and include Ralph Aderman, Joseph Baier, Ira Baldwin, Harry Franke, Fred
Harrington, Klotsche, Henry Maier, Clifford Smith, Olson, and Frank Zeidler. Most of the
interviews focus on efforts in the State legislature and UW Board of Regents to merge the
Wisconsin State Teachers College, Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Extension Division. Other
topics include the development of UWM's Colleges and Schools, UWM's independence from
UW-Madison, and the 1970 student strike. Seven of the interviews were conducted in 1984 by
students in an Applied History course. There are transcripts only for the Baier, Baldwin,
Franke, Harrington, Klotsche, and Zeidler interviews.
