Obama signs mother’s book for LibraryDuring his visit to Northwestern October 2,

President Barack Obama signed a book

held by the Library and written by his

mother, Ann Dunham. Surviving against the

Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia is her post-

humously published dissertation about eco-

nomic viability in Javanese villages, written

for her PhD from the University of Hawaii.

Obama’s inscription reads “To Northwestern

-Thanks for all you do.” The autographed

book will be held in the Melville J.

Herskovits Library of African Studies.

Pioneering Africanist donates papers One of the most prominent historians and

anthropologists studying Africa has donated

his academic papers to the Melville J.

Herskovits Library of African Studies.

University of Wisconsin professor

emeritus Jan Vansina played a foundational

role in the study of African history, impress-

ing the pioneering Herskovits enough to

land him a job offer at Northwestern.

(Vansina was already committed to

Wisconsin.) He specialized in central Africa

and in the pre–European contact era across

the continent. His papers, spanning his work

from 1953 to 1994, fill 136 boxes and

include notes, correspondence, photographs,

maps, manuscripts, and drafts. Curators have

preserved their original arrangement.

“It’s an honor to have his papers as part

of our collections,” said Esmeralda Kalé,

George and Mary LeCron Foster Curator of

the Herskovits Library. “Of particular interest

to researchers, I suspect, will be the materials

on the ethnography of central Africa.”

Esmeralda Kalé becomes Herskovits curator The Library welcomed a new curator for

one of its most celebrated collections in July,

when Esmeralda

Kalé took over

leadership of the

Melville J.

Herskovits Library

of African Studies.

Kalé is the new

George and Mary

LeCron Foster

Curator for the collection, following David

Easterbrook, who retired in June after 23

years in the position.

Kalé previously served as the bibliogra-

pher of the Herskovits Library for 11 years.

During that time she also curated exhibits,

secured acquisition grants, and was the prin-

cipal investigator of a grant to catalog the

“Africana Posters: Hidden Collections of

Northwestern and Michigan State

University Libraries” project in 2009.

Kalé earned a master of arts degree in

library and information science from

University College London and a bachelor’s

degree in sociology from Trent University in

Canada. Before joining Northwestern, she

held library positions at Zayed University in

Abu Dhabi, the Tri-College Consortium

(Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore), the

University of Fort Hare in South Africa, and

the University of Swaziland.

“It was a very competitive search, but

Esmeralda offered the most compelling

combination of abilities,” said D. J. Hoek,

acting associate University librarian for

special libraries. “She has a very broad

knowledge of African studies, a proven com-

mitment to assisting library users, and a deep

understanding and appreciation of the

Herskovits Library’s international mission.”

Wildcat Welcome roars through Library

During Wildcat Welcome orientation for new and transfer students, the Library mounted a major outreach effort that included tours, information booths, and a major presence at campus events like the annual March through the Arch (above). Later the Library hosted Explore Your Library Day events based on the board game Clue. The extensive outreach allowed the Library to interact with nearly every incoming student as well as many faculty and parents. More than 2,300 visitors stopped by the information booths, while 724 students joined group tours led by Library staff. The Explore Your Library activity drew 600 students.

PAGEANTRY MARCHING BAND MEMORABILIA MEANS SERIOUS SCHOLARSHIP FOR UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES

~ by Drew Scott ~

81100_NWU.indd 2 11/14/14 2:22 PM

In the clinically pristine confines of the Library’s preservation

lab, University Archives assistant Yvonne Spura struggles to

pull up the pants on Adam, a six-foot-tall headless mannequin.

Conservation librarians Stephanie Gowler and Carlynne Robinson

wrangle with the torso of troublesome Caitlin.

“She’s still leaning,” Robinson grumbles. After Caitlin’s arms

fall off—again—Robinson adds, “She just has a bad attitude.”

To curate the Library’s autumn exhibit Pride and Guts: The

Northwestern University Marching Band, Spura, Gowler, and Robinson

set aside their scholarly pursuits to grapple with lanky mannequins,

whom they nicknamed to avoid confusion. They dressed the man-

nequins’ stiff limbs with the colorful uniforms worn by generations

of NUMB members.

Dressing mannequins may be an unusual task at a library, but

anything in the name of history, says exhibit curator Spura. The

exhibit, which runs from September 15 to December 19, covers an

important piece of University history, one that touches students

from all schools, year after year. The uniforms may be the most

eye-catching part of the story, but surrounded as they are by batons,

shako hats, photos, drill charts, and digitized film, they are far from

the only purple pomp to arrest a visitor’s attention.

“Some exhibits are designed to educate and others are designed

to entertain,” Spura says. “This exhibit is a little of both. It fascinates

the people who are interested in the theme and the history, and we

hope to show there is much we can learn from this collection.”

Ninety years of traditions When it comes to the band collection, those uniforms are just the

tip of the plume, so to speak. The band is now represented by a

significant collection of documentation and recordings dating back

to the 1920s and filling more than 170 boxes of processed materials.

“When you can combine history with colorful and interesting

physical items, archivists love that,” Spura says. “You can tell a more

complete story.”

The collection really began to take shape in 2012 when the

Office of Bands, prompted by the ramp-up to the construction of

the new Music and Communication Building, transferred an

enormous amount of material to the Archives, including

dozens of uniforms and hats. University archivist Kevin

Leonard was more than happy to receive it.

“Some departments around the

University can’t decide what to do with the

things they’ve accumulated over the years,”

he says. “Our message is always that we

have a terrific conservation team here, and

we can protect collections with proper

temperature and humidity controls. We

can help organize and preserve them.”

The band collection turned up

not just the uniforms but also docu-

mentation on seminars, travel, and

events; office files and correspon-

dence; audiocassettes; canisters of film;

music scores; and even an inexpli-

cable Bee Gees album. The collec-

tion grew last summer with the

donation of personal items from the

family of the late John P. Paynter,

Northwestern’s second director of bands,

who held the post for 43 years. (See page

6.) Taken altogether, the holdings provide

a comprehensive picture of the marching

band over time—something not always

easy to achieve for every part of the

University.

“With some departments, it can be

difficult to create a cohesive picture,” Spura says.

“Here there is a single interest and purpose behind the

organization. It’s easier to study and share a concept

like that.”

An appreciative crowdThe band collection comes with a built-in audience,

Leonard says. Among all the campus groups with an

appetite for history, the marching band (including its

alumni group, the NUMBALUMS) has few peers.

“NUMBALUMS are unlike any constituent group

that comes to the Archives,” he says. “They are incredibly

devoted to the history. They go after it hammer and

tongs.”

It isn’t just nostalgia that brings people to the band

collection. Researchers have used the archive to write

biographies of Paynter and Glenn Cliffe Bainum,

Northwestern’s first director of bands, as well as to take

scholarly looks at how bands have been organized and

directed over time.

One student thesis found in the Archives, for

example, explores the influence of Bainum’s innovations

in charting, the practice of writing instructions for the

band’s halftime formations. When Bainum took over

the marching band in 1926, the art of charting was still

nascent. He hadn’t even discovered much of a band to

begin with. The Chicago Tribune reported at the time that

Bainum found 13 members in his marching band his

first year. By the second year he had 80—and an urgent

need for a new system to chart their drill.

Bainum’s experimentation with charts, especially

the creation of a standard step length and a grid-based

map of the football field, rippled out to other Big Ten

bands. When looking at the charting systems used in

these bands today, historians—thanks to the copious

documentation in the Archives—can trace many of

them back to Bainum and his groundbreaking efforts.

The collection holds other glimpses into each

time period in which the band performed. The drill

charts, in particular, yield some surprising insights.

“Band drill could be very political and historical,”

Spura said. “Some of these charts can provide a look at

how people saw the times. You can get a broad

sense of history when looking at it through the

lens of these drills.”

For example, one halftime show in 1950

included the swing standards “Hi, Neighbor”

and “Marching Along Together” to honor the

recently formed United Nations. In a 1953

show, the band documented the previous

summer’s record-setting temperatures with

a frowning-face formation set to the tune

“We’re Having a Heat Wave.”

A collection jammed so full of uni-

forms, hats, and amusing ephemera makes

for an essential addition to the Library’s

holdings, Spura says, because it breathes life

into University history.

“It’s unusual to have a collection as

colorful as this,” she says. “But it’s vital. This

is how we spread our arms to encompass all

aspects of University history.”

Yvonne Spura really wanted the whistle.

The archives assistant had seen photos of

John P. Paynter, legendary director of bands,

wearing a whistle around his neck, and she

knew it would be an important artifact for

the University Archives band collection.

“Personal items are special for an

archive,” she says. “They add up to tell

you more about a person than professional

records alone.”

But archiving that whistle—and the

rest of Paynter’s personal effects—

required another acquisition: the trust of

Paynter’s widow, Marietta, and son

Bruce, who had been longtime stewards

of the band director’s legacy.

Mrs. Paynter kept a thorough archive

of her husband’s career, from newspaper clip-

pings and concert programs to photos, memo-

rabilia, and other meaningful artifacts. She had

even gathered items from the era of Glenn

Cliffe Bainum, Paynter’s predecessor. Because

John and Marietta Paynter had been devoted to

Northwestern bands and athletic programs for so

long, the family collection intersected with

Northwestern history like few others.

Bruce Paynter says it was difficult to part with

material his mother had so carefully and lovingly

collected. It took his mother some time to be com-

fortable with the idea of transferring the collection

to the Archives, he says. In the end, it was the

enthusiasm of University archivist Kevin Leonard

that won the Paynters over.

“Once we met with Kevin, it didn’t take my

mother long to see that he cares about the band

and the athletic program. He has a sincere and pas-

sionate interest in Northwestern history,” Bruce

Paynter says. “We’re enthusiastic about the

Archives in general and Kevin Leonard in particular.”

He now believes that families shouldn’t try to

hold on to their collections on their own.

“As time passes, items that are important to

one generation of a family may have decreasing

significance to following generations,” he says. To

prevent great-grandchildren from throwing away

material when clearing an attic, “it’s important to

get such artifacts into a safe place and in a context

that hopefully will have meaning for everyone.”

Over the summer Bruce Paynter began trans-

ferring boxes of materials from his mother’s collec-

tion and his father’s office. He hopes the donation

of the collection will not only preserve his father’s

legacy but also encourage others to help the band

collection grow.

“We are looking for positive ways for others

to fill in around the edges of what we gave and

are encouraging others to consider the Archives,”

he says. “[Our donation] could inspire others who

are looking at the boxes in their basements and

wondering, what am I going to do with these?”

University Archives would like to thank

Marietta Paynter, her children, and their spouses—

Bruce and Bonita Paynter and Megan and John

Anderson—who helped ensure that this carefully

curated archive found a home at Northwestern.

Osvaldo LopezAn abstract eruption of color, rendered in a nine-foot-tall

tapestry, towers over the stairs leading to University Library’s

plaza level. Around the corner, two larger tapestries with images

of swirling solar storms arrest the patron’s view and break up the

expanse of the modernist concrete walls.

A couple of blocks north, at the Seeley G. Mudd Library,

two more tapestries hang prominently on the main f loor.

Bursting off the wall with imagery of tempest-tossed ships and

fiery cosmic explosions, they are the loudest things in a reading

room filled with students in deep concentration.

The singular images on these tapestries—the work of

Mexican abstract expressionist Leonardo Nierman—came to

the libraries from Osvaldo Lopez, ’67, ’70 MD, and his wife,

Susan Nordstrom Lopez. They are avid collectors of Nierman,

whose tapestries, paintings, and sculptures are held by museums

around the world.

“We want kids to see something bright, we want to

open their eyes to something new,” says Lopez, chair of oph-

thalmology at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and

senior partner of the Chicago Eye Institute. “These are meant

to be enjoyed where a lot of people can see them.”

Lopez and Nordstrom Lopez, president of Advocate Illinois

Masonic Medical Center, donated these museum-quality works

from their personal collection this year as a way to thank

Northwestern for the lifeline it extended him when he was a

struggling refugee from Cuba. In the early 1960s, Lopez f led the

Castro regime, coming to an unfamiliar land with few prospects.

“As refugees, my family lost everything,” Lopez says. “At one

point I was homeless. I slept on a park bench.”

But he had motivation and a solid academic foundation, so

he applied to Northwestern with the goal of becoming a doctor.

He received his bachelor’s degree in 1967 and went on to receive

an MD three years later.

“Northwestern gave me an opportunity. Everything I have

today I owe to the University,” he says. “All it takes is a hand to

open a door, and you’ve changed someone’s life for the better.

Northwestern played that role for me by opening a door to an

education. It’s why I believe so much in helping people.”

The gift of Nierman’s works was especially meaningful to

Lopez and his wife because the artist is also their friend. Before

he was an established physician, Lopez met Nierman through a

friend of a friend who lived in Mexico. Lopez had made a special

effort to visit the artist because he had seen his work and was

instantly taken with it.

He bought his first Nierman with nothing but the artist’s

faith in him. “I had no down payment or any idea how I would

afford it,” Lopez says. He eventually paid Nierman back and

went on to collect many more of his works.

Leonardo Nierman (far right) and his wife, Eugenia Pérez del Toro

a nationally televised hit that ran

from 1961 to 1968 and combined

popular music, dancing teenagers,

and comedic skits. In addition to

featuring live performances from

guests such as the Supremes and

James Brown, the fun-loving

Thaxton introduced antics

like lip-syncing to lyrics, a

gag still relevant on late-

What is it? A limited-edition CD and

book set devoted to the music of Ghana’s

master palm wine musician Koo Nimo.

Palm wine music is an upbeat hybrid of

African and European guitar styles popular

in West African culture for much of the

20th century. This handcrafted set, made

from botanicals found near Koo Nimo’s

home in Kumasi, includes letterpress

pamphlets of lyrics and three etching

and relief prints inspired by songs such

as “Se wo nom me” (Tsetse fly, you suck

my blood) and “Obra ne nea wabo” (Life

What is it? Scale Piece for John Cage, which is both a musical composition and a

musical instrument. Composer Cage received this postal letter scale circa 1966

from his friend and fellow composer A. M. Fine with an index card of instructions

for performing the piece. According to Fine, the musician drops something on the

scale and considers the work complete either before dropping the weight, afterward,

or at any time in between. Like many avant-garde works, Scale Piece challenges

assumptions about the nature of music and art.

Where is it? Music Library.

Conservation restores Willie’s appearance

The stuffed Willie the Wildcat, a cherished

archival artifact donated to the University in

1966, long lacked a proper set of ears. Lisa

Goldberg (left), a nationally known objects

conservator and specialist brought in to

restore the cat, says that taxidermy of ears

can be difficult, which may explain why the

ones formerly attached to Willie were no

more than tiny, curled scraps.

After a complete cleaning, Willie received

a larger, more accurate pair of ears hand-

sculpted from resin and lined with synthetic

fur. The revitalized cat will soon be on display

again inside a new enclosure in the Archives.

Willie was a gift of Jesse N. Gates (1907),

Lulu Shoesmith Gates (1907), Genevieve Gates

Porter (1930), and Evelyn Gates Berry (1932).
