“Professors I'll Never Forget” Collection and 1975 N.U. Professors Exhibit

Creator: Northwestern University (Evanston, Ill.). University Archives

Abstract:  The series consists letters from former Northwestern students answering an ad placed by Professor Harold Williamson of the N.U. History Project in the 1975 Spring issue of the Northwestern Alumni News, describing memories of favorite professors. The response to “Professors I'll Never Forget” was overwhelming, with people writing letters not only about one favorite professor but two, three, and sometimes four or five.

Records of A&O Productions, 1968-2010

Creator: Northwestern University (Evanston, Ill.). A & O Productions

Abstract:  The records of A&O Productions fill eight boxes, spanning the years 1970-1995. The bulk of the records consist of production records for the events organized during those years. A&O (Activities and Organizations) Productions is Northwestern University’s major student-run programming board. On the A&O website (March 14, 2003), the group defines itself as “a non-profit undergraduate student group at Northwestern University. …[The] mission is to enrich the lives of students, faculty and staff by providing unique large-scale programming events that appeal to the Northwestern community’s diverse tastes and interests. Such events have traditionally included concerts, speakers, comedians, and films.  A&O (Activities & Organizations) Productions is still Northwestern University's major student-run programming board.  Since 2003, when the last update was made, there have not been many changes in regards to the setup of the organization.  It has maintained a similar delegation of duties between committees; including the executive board, concerts, films, speaker and special events, promotions and public relations, and financial committees, as well as adding the internal affairs, corporate affairs and new media committees. On the A&O Productions Facebook page they maintain that, "A&O Productions provides events to entertain and educate the undergraduate population. As such, A&O Productions is committed to the ideal of "Total Programming," striving to program professional, appealing events for the entire NU community. Our events include concerts, comedians, films, speakers, and all-campus special events" (July 13, 2010). The types of events that the committees organize have stayed the same over the years.  Concerts, movies and lectures still make up the majority of the events, while annual events such as the A&O Ball and the Pumpkin Prom have held strong as staples of the A&O calendar.  These events have been held on campus at various locations over the years, including Dyche Stadium, Pick-Staiger Hall, and the Norris Center, among many others, as well as off-campus sites for some of the bigger events such as the A&O Ball. ...
