The Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College 1872 - 2014 Finding Aid

Archives and Special Collections

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

T

he original arrangement of the Archives of the Alumni Association of Hunter College was initially undertaken as a collective endeavor involving Professor Julio HernandezDelgado, Head of Archives & Special Collections and members of the Alumni Archives

Committee which included Eli Arthur Schwartz (Chairman), Anne Hoffman, Barbara Molin, and Ethel Weissmann. 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.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The alumnae of the Normal/Hunter College began collecting historical documents of their association and alma mater since its inception in 1872 and these documents served as a foundation for the present collection. 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.
