Mather Center Oral History Project
This is a collection of interviews conducted by the Flora Stone Mather Center. The seminar, 'The Flora Stone Mather Oral History Project', took place in the fall semester of 2009, and offered a discussion-based exploration of the literature on the history of women’s education in America. It also gave students an opportunity to contribute to that literature by conducting interviews for the Flora Stone Mather Oral History Project.
Flora Stone Mather College for Women (1888-1972), a coordinate college to Adelbert College for men at Western Reserve, University represented a singular experience in the history of education for women. As interviewers of Mather College alumnae, students were instructed in the basic principles and skills of oral history, and engaged in the creation of primary sources materials—tapes and transcriptions—essential for historical documentation. They applied these materials to two projects: a monograph on the history of the coordinate college, and a comparative study relating that history to the present-day educational experiences for women at Case Western Reserve University. Also included are a number of video productions written and produced by Gladys Haddad.
