Alida Westman, Oral History Interview, 2019

Alida Westman served as professor in the Department of Psychology from 1972 until her retirement in 2012. Born in The Hague, Holland, during World War II, and growing up in post-war Europe, Westman learned at an early age that certain cultural landscapes elicit specific reactions in human beings based on past trauma. As a result, the rest of her life was set by the age of four toward perception and research. After immigrating to the United States, Westman attended school in the Pacific Northwest and Cornell University, and landed at Eastern Michigan University as a professor in perception and comprehension studies. A supporter of the American Association of University Professors and member of countless academic committees during her career with EMU, Westman attained Emeritus status when she retired in 2012.

Allen Myers, EMU Roles and Perspectives Interview, 1972

EMU Roles and Perspectives was taped television program broadcast from the campus of EMU, and produced by Robert Hoexter (1930-1978). Hoexter joined the faculty at the EMU School of Education in 1964, and served as Coordinator of Graduate Advising from 1969-1971. A member of the Faculty Senate from 1973-1976, Hoexter was elected vice-chairman from 1974-1975, and chairman, 1975-1976. In this episode of Roles and Perspectives, Hoexter interviews Allen Myers, then Dean of the College of Education at EMU. Allen Myers came to EMU in 1958, serving as head of the Department of Special Education and Occupational Therapy, and as Dean of the School of Education from 1969-1975, when he returned to the classroom as a faculty member with the Department of Special Education. In this interview, Myers gives historical perspective to the rapidly changing role of EMU in the field of teacher education, calling EMU a “microcosm” of education colleges across the nation. Teacher colleges were moving away from the use of lab schools due to the advanced and sophisticated opportunities available to teachers post-college.

Alvan Clark refractor telescope located in the third floor Observatory - Room 59.

This image depicts the Alvan Clark refractor telescope (large), and the Brandis transit telescope (small). The Alvan Clark 4'' refractor telescope, purchased in 1872 for about $300; Brandis transit telescope purchased in 1876 for $680.00 (small scope sitting under larger telescope). Both of these telescopes were placed in the observatory dome after construction was completed in 1881. In 1893 a tornado carried the observatory dome twenty-five feet, and while both of the telescopes were able to be repaired after the disaster the Brandis was unfortunately lost in the Sherzer Hall fire of 1989. About half of Sherzer was gutted during the fire, marking it one of the most devastating events in our university’s history. The Alvan Clark telescope is currently housed in the Sherzer Observatory.
