Tape of an interview with Lewin, conducted by Brenda K. Shelton, October 31, 1978. Concerns his background; his views on Capen; comments on McConnell; Years on faculty of UB; alumni activities

Interviewer's Observations: Dr. Lewin had obviously prepared for this interview, and had written some notes which he referred to. He was very relaxed, and eager to talk about his memories of UB. The telephone rang twice; once it was a former patient seeking advice. When the interview was over, Dr. Lewin continued to reminisce. He laughed a bit about the saint-like statue accorded Dr. Capen, and made clear that he thought Capen had made some mistakes. He also commented on two "wonderful women," Emma Deters and Emily Webster, both of whom exercised considerable power but received little recognition.
