The Marlboro College
The Early Voices Project is an effort to videotape oral histories of Marlboro's first students, faculty and friends, so as to preserve first-person accounts of college life here. Currently the project is focusing on people who were at Marlboro during the years 1946 through 1960—the “Pioneer Years.” We have interviewed several dozen pioneers, and combined these into an hour-long documentary examining Marlboro College's early history. The film is in the final stages of production, and will be presented as a highlight of the Vermont History Expo in June 2009.
Additional goals:
• Archived videotaped interviews with dozens of early Marlboro College people
• A collection of photos, newspaper clippings and other documents relevant to the college’s roots
• Current photographs of those interviewed
• Complete text transcriptions available on the Marlboro’s Web site
• Video and audio clips available on the college Web site
Here is a selection of transcripts of interviews with Marlboro Pioneers:
- Hugh Mulligan `48
- Jim Shingle `50
- Marshall Carroll `52
