Interviewer's Observations: B. Richard Bugelski, January 22, 1979 Although Dr. Bugelski has retired, he still has an office on the Ridge Lea campus where he spends much of his time. He wished to attend a meeting that was to begin an hour after I arrived and was off like a shot as soon as the second side of the tape ran out. The sound of his squeaking desk chair is audible at times; so is the striking of matches as he lit the many cigarettes he smoked during the interview.

University of Buffalo--Endowment Campaign, 1920
Interview with Baird, conducted by Brenda Shelton, October 16, 1978, concerning membership in University of Buffalo Council, his background, Baird Point, Chancellor McConnell, Amherst Campus, Seymour Knox, Chancellor Ketter.
Interviewer's observations: William C. Baird, October 16, 1978 At Mr. Baird's request, the interview took place in his office at the Gruber Supply Corporation. Unfortunately the room faces on Elmwood Avenue and is far from sound proof. As a result, traffic noises serve as background to much of the tape. Mr. Baird is a quiet, reserved, shy person, uncomfortable talking about himself. He was clearly nervous and uneasy about being taped. He suggested that he write the answers to questions, and when I stopped to change the tape, he said he really didn't think he had any more to say. Something happened with the first side of the tape, and the last five or ten minutes did not record. During that time Mr. Baird spoke briefly about becoming a member of the University of Buffalo Council in 1939 to replace his father after the latter's death. He said the Council was made up of influential citizens who supported the University financially, and who had a friendly relationship with faculty and administration, in a few cases mixing with them socially. Mr. Baird spoke warmly of Chancellor Capen, whom he obviously liked and admired.

Professor of Social Work at the University of Buffalo and the State University of New York at Buffalo, 1936-1966. Interview concerns Hull House, Cradle Beach Camp, family, School of Social Work, comments on Dean Lyndon, comments on Amherst Campus, personal memories.
Interviewer's Observations: Mrs. Allen retired from her position as professor in the school of Social Work with a plethora of academic, community and benevolent accomplishments and contributions. As a result of a stroke suffered a few years back her health and mobility have been affected; making participation in on-campus University events nearly impossible. Mrs. Allen remains apart from University affairs today and reflects upon her former participation with little sentimentality, a degree of separateness but with unspoken satisfaction. Mrs. Allen lives in a large, decaying house in need of outside repair and painting. Barely shoveled, the path leading to the front door proved to be an obstacle. Inside, the potentially spacious home was congested with books, couches, chairs, piano and a large wooden bed that stood boldly in what must have been a dining room off the kitchen. Atop the bed lay Julia, an old white poodle, surrounded by books, piano music and papers. Mrs. Allen sat a few feet away from the over-stuffed bed in a large arm chair with her feet supported by a foot-stool and her legs covered with a blanket. During the interview she clearly recalled events and in a sequence congruous with written information this interviewer had examined in her biographical file. Yet her orientation for time was somewhat vague. Mrs. Allen was not able to pinpoint years of important events in her life. The noises in the background in one segment of the tape recording are those of Cathy preparing food in the kitchen. Cathy is a young woman whose husband and she rent the third floor apartment of Mrs. Allen's home. After the interview she informed me that Mrs. Allen has a nurse, two maids and a handyman who regularly assist Mrs. Allen.

Interviewer's Observations: We talked in Mr. Whiteside's living room, where a large clock ticked loudly throughout our conversation, His wife and. son were near by in the kitchen, and_ their voices can occasionally be heard in.the background, After the interview, Mr. Whiteside expressed in even more glowing terms his high respect for the University of Buffalo and. for the professors he had. there, Dr, Pratt and Dr, Gross clearly had a great influence on him, Unlike many people, he is as willing to make controversial and outspoken remarks when the tape recorder is running as when it is off.

At times in the interview it was obvious'from her facial expressions that she was po~ing fun at herself, a fact that does not come across in the tape. There was a space heater on the floor next to her and at one point she kept her feet too close to it and her slippers started smoking, She said her feet were too warm, pointed to them with great amusement, and kept right on talking,

Interviewer's Observations: The interview took place at the UB Emeritus Center. Mrs. Weinstein is very proud of the Center and it is clearly her chief interest at present. A student interrupted us at one point to ask directions.

She needs to keep taking sips of water, which she did throughout the interview. Her mind is alert, and she keeps in contact with many of her colleagues. Toward the end of the interview, however, her comments became less focussed and began to ramble about. She also kept talking while I was changing the tape. The sound of a clock ticking is audible throughout. At one point she asked me to get a picture of Dr. Pratt, and also to read some letters from him and a poem he had written. She also showed me one of the bookplates Hogers designed for her.
University of Buffalo. School of Engineering--History

Tape of an interview with Thomas conducted by Brenda K. Shelton, January 16, 1969, concerns history of the Engineering Department, comments about Dr. Ketter and Dr. Furnas.
Interviewer's Observations: Professor Thomas seems quite unassuming and modest about his career, but at the same time relaxed and at ease talking about it. He occasionally referred to some papers he had in his lap, including a history of the Engineering Department which he had written. Before I started taping, Mrs. Thomas made a number of comments about Dr. Ketter and Dr. Furnas and about the University in general. She obviously knew many of the people at UB and their wives personally. She was present thoughout the interview and whisphered a number of reminders to her husband. Near the beginning, she brought us coffee, asking whether I wanted sugar and cram. Toward the end of Side I, she indicated that she had something to say and after I stopped the tape recorder, she told Professor Thomas he should say something about Puffer, and then went on to say quite a bit herself. Midway through the second side of the tape, she served us cinnamon toast, and I stopped the machine while we ate.
Member of the University of Buffalo Council, 1948-1963
president of the Guidance Center of Buffalo
Tape of an interview with Smith conducted by Brenda K. Shelton, November 3, 1978. Concerns her background, the War Bond drive of the 1940s, and activities of the Joint Charities and the Guidance Center of Buffalo.
Overview: Grace Rumsey Smith was a member of the University of Buffalo Council from 1948-1963. For many years she was also active in several community agencies in Buffalo and served for a time as president of the Guidance of Buffalo. In this brief interview, Miss Smith discusses her family background, her childhood and education, and her longtime involvement with Buffalo community agencies and projects. She mentions specifically the War Bond Drive of the 1940's and later activities with Joint Charities and the Guidance Center of Buffalo. Due to a tape malfunction, the last half of this interview was not recorded and as a result no discussion of the University of Buffalo Council is included.
Interviewer's Observations: Miss Smith lives in an apartment with her unmarried sister. Before we began the interview, she showed me the family portraits hanging on the walls in most of the rooms. They cover many generations of the Rumsey, Cary, and Smith families, and Miss Smith can trace in detail the relationships between them all. Miss Smith, both when I called to make an appointment and prior to the interview, expressed concern that she would be unable to contribute much. She seemed to relax a little as she talked about her family and her community activities, but she became very nervous after I changed the tape and asked about her experiences as a member of the UB Council. Maybe I was nervous, too, but whatever the reason, the second side did not record. In the fiftean missing minutes, she responded very briefly to questions about her role an the Council, her memories of the people she served with and of those members of the administration and faculty whom she met, and her views on the merger. She could remember few individuals on the Council, and mentioned only Dr. Perry, Dr. Silverman and Dr. Thorn from the University. She opposed the merger, and felt the University was forced into it by the State, but she had nothing to say about the views or the actions of the Council on the matter. She said that she really did not ever understand why she was asked to serve on the Council in the first place. But she also made clear that she, like members of her family before her, regarded UB as her university, that she had always been proud of it and felt a sense of obligation toward it. She made the comment as I was leaving that somehow, since the move to Amherst (which she opposed), she no longer felt that it was Buffalo's university.

Interviewer's Observations: Miss Russo lives with her sister in a house on Richmond Avenue, the same house where she lived when she came to Buffalo as a student at the Pharmacy School. She looks and acts much younger than her years, and is a bouncy, cheerful sort of person. Her sister interrupted us a couple of times, once near the end of the first side, and when I reversed it, I neglected to wind it to the beginning.
