ABSTRACT: Collection contains audio cassette tapes 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. The tapes are physically arranged by a number assigned to them in 1984. They are intellectually arranged in the finding aid by the name of the interviewee.
