Scope and Contents Note
[This narrative
was written by Leigh Raiford '94, who in 1999 was in her fourth year of the
Joint Ph.D. Program in African-American and American Studies at Yale
University. Ms. Raiford worked with the Hewlett Diversity Archive in 1998-99.
The narrative was revised by the staff of Special Collections & Archives in

“The Changing Face of Wesleyan: An Introduction
to The Hewlett Diversity Archive”
In the summer of 1994, Wesleyan University was
chosen as one of 25 public and private U.S. colleges and universities to
receive a Pluralism and Unity Grant from the William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation. This generous grant occasioned a unique and wonderful opportunity
to examine and document, celebrate, and critique nearly 170 years of the
changing face of Wesleyan. The Hewlett Diversity Archive, one of myriad
projects undertaken during the 3-year tenure of the grant, offered students and
historians, administrators, and alumni the chance to explore one university's
commitment to racial diversity. Indeed,
these archives impel us to investigate and make sense of concepts like
"diversity," "unity," and "multiculturalism,"
often used and often misunderstood in the university context. This archive also
provides a springboard for envisioning the collective future of Wesleyan
University.
The idea for an archive of the history of racial
diversity at Wesleyan was conceived by Krishna Winston, Professor of German
Studies, Coordinator of the Mellon Minority Undergraduate Fellowship Program,
and Coordinator of the Hewlett Project.
Along with Monique Sulle, Associate Mellon Program Coordinator and
Hewlett Project Associate Coordinator, Professor Winston felt that an archive
would be the best and most useful way of cataloguing Wesleyan's vibrant and
contentious history of diversity and of preserving the work of the Hewlett
Summer Fellows who had culled materials from various university sources in
order to document this history.
During the summers of 1995 and 1996, Hewlett
Fellows gathered most of the documents and interviews that make up this
collection. The 12 Fellows, members of the classes of 1996, '97, '98, and '99,
researched various aspects of Wesleyan's history. Their projects included an
examination of admission policies over time; of African-American, Latino, Asian
and Asian-American, and Native American presence on campus; of student of color
protests; of changes in and development of the curriculum; and of the history
of the ethno-cultural houses. For their research, the Fellows studied the
University archives and the files of the Office of Public Information. They
read back issues of the student newspaper, The
Argus, and compiled a complete index to all articles concerning racial
matters. They also read and compiled a partial index of the student of color
publication The Ankh. Under the
direction of William Kerr, late Provost and Secretary of the University, the
Fellows examined presidential papers as well as committee minutes and reports.
They conducted taped interviews with former key administrators, faculty
members, and alumni. They collected and catalogued materials produced by
students in several tutorials conducted in the mid-1980s by Dean of the College
Emeritus Edgar Beckham on the history of Wesleyan, including a substantial
number of taped interviews. All of the above, including the Fellows' own notes
and reports, are included in the collection.
It is important to note that much of Wesleyan's
history of racial diversity can be found in a variety of sources located
throughout the campus, including the records of the Office of Public
Information, the Presidential files, and the University Archives' vertical
files. In addition, there are a number
of excellent secondary sources in the form of theses and essays that can be
found in the University Archives. Moreover, much of Wesleyan's early history of
student-of-color presence on campus (pre-1964) can be found in the Archives'
vertical files. These files provide an introductory though fragmentary overview
of the experiences of ethnic and gender minorities at Wesleyan prior to the
hiring of Director of Admissions John C. Hoy in 1964 and the subsequent
dramatic changes in recruitment strategies and admission policies.
The Hewlett Diversity Archive's strength lies in
materials that document Wesleyan's changing face in the last 35 years. But more
importantly, the Hewlett Archive's singularity and importance lies in the fact
that for the first time these materials are gathered together under a single
rubric. Taken together, this information provides a look at the formation and
development of student-of-color groups, political, social, and cultural; of
administrative policies concerning students as well as faculty; of curricular
approaches and pedagogical strategies. This archive is a useful tool for
charting the expanding meanings of the concept of diversity itself, from an era
when diversity was understood as simply the presence of physical difference to
a time when diversity also means heterogeneity of thought. The collection also
provides a backdrop for recognizing that "unity" is something
struggled for, not automatically attained; and that the achievement of unity
may not necessarily be a desirable goal if it can be achieved only at the
expense of cultural diversity. In short, the archive's strength lies in
gathering together history and memory of the evolution, even revolution, of
Wesleyan's vision and self-image.
Processing and Arrangement of the Collection
In an effort to convey a sense of the dynamism
of the history of racial diversity at Wesleyan, the materials are arranged
under headings relating to student, faculty, and administrative groups rather
than by racial categorizations. To order the large number of materials under
such general headings as "African-American,"
"Asian-American" or "Latino/a" would be reductive. To do so
would deny historical context, the ways in which groups often struggled with
and against each other (and among themselves) over issues, from black-Asian
conflict in the late 1970s and early 1980s to the formation of the Tri-Minority
Council (TMC, later the Student of Color Council) in 1989.
Such categorizations also do not allow for the
ways in which administrative initiatives geared toward one group often affected
another group. For example, admission policies aimed at matriculating more
African-American students opened doors for increased Latino presence. General
racial designations are themselves historically contingent, products of
particular cultural moments and political exigencies. This is not to deny the
ways in which groups are identified and choose to self-identify. Rather it is
to encourage enumeration and fuller illumination of the many meanings and
manifestations of racial diversity. Finally, separate categories wrongly
emphasize that the history documented in this archive is the sole property of
the ethnic and racial groups under whose heading it falls, rather than the
property and legacy of the institution as a whole.
In this vein, the collection is divided into
three series, and sub-groups within each:
Series 1: Documents,
photographs, and textiles collected by the Hewlett Pluralism and Unity Project
to document the history of diversity at Wesleyan University;
Series 2: Audio material and
transcriptions documented by Hewlett Fellows as part of the project; and
Series 3: Documents relating to
the Hewlett project and its participants.
Within the first series, there are folders on
topics such as admissions, educational funding, curriculum, racial statistics,
administration and faculty, students, alumni, student groups, campus events,
racial incidents, special interest housing. Included are documents from and
about the 1969 Fisk Hall takeover, which resulted in the first attempt at an
Afro-American Studies curriculum; the lampooning of Boon Tan, an Asian member
of the class of 1980; and the racist letters to the Malcolm X House and the
campus response in 1980. Also included are documents concerning
Wesleyan-Middletown relations and collaboration.
Student groups are an integral component of any
campus; accordingly, the archive includes papers of many of these
organizations. There are extensive papers of the Asian-American Cooperative
Theater (AACT) in particular. Also interesting are the papers of inter-ethnic
groups such as Society Organized Against Racism (SOAR) and Racism Awareness
Workshop (RAW). It is important to note that names of these organizations
changed periodically to reflect new nomenclature and new missions. For example,
Asian and Asian-American students first organized as Wesleyan Asian Students
Party (WASP), later renamed themselves Wesleyan Asian Interest Group (WAIG),
then Wesleyan Asian/Asian-American Student Union (WAAASU), and now, in the most
recent incarnation, as Asian-American Pacific Alliance (AAPA). Student
publications are also included, as well as event fliers, invitations, and
notices of speakers.
There is also an array of documents concerning
admission strategies and curricular development. Particularly interesting are
admission brochures and booklets aimed at recruiting students of color dating
back to 1975. There are also admission policy statements and minutes from Board
of Trustees meetings; "special minority group" admission profiles;
and recruitment strategies developed by task forces of color. There is
extensive documentation of the founding and growth of the Afro-American Institute,
the first attempt at instutionalizing African-American Studies and a center for
black culture and research; and of the first Asian-American Studies course
offered in the 1985-86 school year. Juxtaposed with these files is the Ford
Foundation Grant for Multicultural Perspectives in Curriculum, submitted by
Joanne Creighton, Vice President of Academic Affairs, in September 1991. One
can also find administrative documents on the ethno-cultural houses.
Throughout the last 35 years, there have been
many committees, task forces, and ad-hoc groups that have sought to make sense
of and improve racial diversity and racial interaction on campus. Papers from
some of these groups are gathered here, including the Multicultural Committee,
the Committee on Human Rights and Relations, and the Presidential Commission on
Race Relations.
There are also documents from the various Alumni
Councils. We are fortunate to have some of the papers of the late Professor of
German Theodore Chadbourne (Chad) Dunham, among the first faculty to teach a
course with racial themes; a folder entitled "Alumni of Color in the
Arts," which showcases some of the work of Glenn Ligon '86 and Olivia
Astrid Smith '92, both accomplished photographers; and speeches of Edwin (Ted)
Etherington '48, president of the University during the turbulent period of
1968-1970. Finally, there is a 1980 Alumni Reunion T-shirt "Where Is Boon
Tan?"
The second series continues with material
collected by Hewlett Fellows, and includes audio tapes, including Edgar Beckham's
seminars, various interviews with alumni produced by students of the seminars,
and speeches by distinguished guests to the campus.
The third series is documentation of the Hewlett
Project itself, incorporating the work of the Summer Research Fellows
(including the various publication indices), Fellows' research notes, various
tutorial readings and assignments, the original grant proposal and progress
reports, and further documents and directories on diversity. This series
provides an understanding of the scope and mission of the project.
A final note: It is the hope of participators in
and shapers of the Hewlett Project and the Hewlett Diversity Archive that this
collection will continue to grow and expand, that students, faculty, and
administrators, past and present, white and of color, will contribute documents
and memorabilia to the archive. The history and memory of Wesleyan's commitment
to racial diversity is the property and responsibility of all of us, just as
the course of Wesleyan's future is our collective obligation.
