Maslach, Doris.Book Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California UNIVERSITY HISTORY Doris Maslach A LIFE HISTORY WITH DORIS MASLACH An interview conducted by Nadine Wilmot in 2004 Copyright © 2007 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Doris Maslach, dated February 3, 2006. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

It is recommended that this oral history be cited as follows: Doris Maslach, A Life History with Doris Maslach, an oral history conducted in 2004 by Nadine Wilmot, Regional Oral History Office, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, 2007. i Doris Maslach—Interview Description Doris Cuneo Maslach and I began working together to conduct her oral history in April of 2004. Ten interviews were conducted in all, over the course of four months, ending in July of that year. Each interview took place at the dining room table of her home in Berkeley. All interviews were recorded on minidisc and digital video. The interview was transcribed and audit edited by our office. Doris then reviewed it for accuracy of names and dates and lightly edited it with an eye for coherence and discretion. Eleanor Swent had interviewed Doris’s husband George J. Maslach in 1998 and 1999 to document his long involvement with the University of California—first as a student, then as a professor in the Engineering Department, and ultimately as a senior administrator who finished off his distinguished career at Berkeley as the Vice Chancellor for Research and Academic Affairs. His daughter, Christina Maslach, joined Berkeley’s faculty in the Department of Psychology and now serves as Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. The history of the Maslach family for the past seventy years has been intertwined with the history of the Berkeley campus. This interview with Doris Maslach tells the story of the woman who anchored the Maslach family. Because of the times and the social context in which Doris Maslach came of age, her story, that of an educated woman who marries a successful man and raises a family, takes the form of a back story. She lived through and contributed to an important period in the history of the campus, but her name appears only in passing in the institutional record. Yet Doris’s thorough engagement with herself and her world, her commitment to examining her experience as a partner and mother, creates this story in a new mold. She reconfigures the “back story” so that it is the central story, one with its own important lessons about the history of the Berkeley campus and the city of Berkeley. Each interview took place at Doris’ home on Panoramic Hill above the Berkeley campus. After walking up the leafy stairway paths that run up and down that hill, I would cut through the Maslachs’ backyard, where I sometimes found George watering the garden. In the dining room, overlooking the Bay and surrounded by their son’s exquisite glasswork, Doris would have waiting tea and biscotti in beautiful old time tea cups. These were her engagement teacups, she explained to me; her mother’s friends had each given her a cup and saucer upon her engagement to George so that she had a collection of different and lovely cups and saucers, to start off their married life. And so begins our journey back to old San Francisco. Doris felt that an important piece of her history was that she came from a family of immigrants— her father was Italian and her mother was Danish and Scottish—who had come to San Francisco in the mid 19th century and stayed and thrived. She speaks of her Uncle Rinaldo, a well known California painter, and her aunt Minnie MacLean, who held a salon for artists, writers, and musicians at her Pacific Heights home, and her mother’s family homestead close to where Ghiradelli Square is now, which survived the 1906 earthquake and fire and sat directly on the ocean before there was fill to extend the footprint of the peninsula. Over the course of our work together, Doris was involved in an ongoing excavation of her basement which held many treasures from the past since she acts as “the heritage keeper” for her family. One day when I ii arrived for her interview, she had unearthed a beautiful portrait of Tina Modotti inscribed by the famous modernist photographer to Doris’s aunt. Another day she shared with me a book of photos by the San Francisco photographer Isaiah West Taber, explaining that her mother had been a close friend to Louise Taber, the daughter of Isaiah, and that she, Doris, had inherited these Taber materials and made a gift of them to the Bancroft Library. Her family had been centrally involved with the arts and cultural life of San Francisco in the early 20th century. Another thread of her discussion of her youth in San Francisco deals with class and ethnic stratification, the ways in which her family sorted and was sorted by others as a function of ethnicity, and the way she was perceived and located socially as an Italian American, and a woman, in high school and college. As a dual citizen of both the campus community and the city of Berkeley over several decades, Doris engaged with and has perspectives on some of the seminal events in Berkeley’s campus and civic history. In particular, as someone who was active in Democratic politics, she played a significant role in the desegregation of Berkeley’s public schools and was active in struggles around rent control in Berkeley. As a campus wife, she has perspectives on social change and campus activism--including the surveillance and censorship of the McCarthy era, the Free Speech Movement, Peoples’ Park, and the controversial development of Clark Kerr campus--and the impacts of these on her family and community. Finally, as an undergraduate at Berkeley, Doris lived in the Co-ops, and was one of the few women Math majors; her experiences illuminate social and academic life at Berkeley in the late 1930’s. This interview was conducted under the auspices of the Regional Oral History Office. The Regional Oral History Office was established in 1954 to augment through recorded oral memoirs the Library’s materials on the history of California and the West. Copies of all interviews are available for research use in the Bancroft Library and in the UCLA Department of Special Collections. The office is under the direction of Richard Cándida Smith, Director and the administrative direction of Charles B. Faulhaber, James D. Hart Director of the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley. Nadine Wilmot, Interviewer Regional Oral History Office Berkeley, California May, 2006 1 Interview with Doris Maslach Interview #1: April 5, 2004 Begin Maslach 1 04-04.wav 1-00:00:25 Wilmot: Okay, Doris Maslach, interview one, April 5, 2004. Here with Nadine Wilmot of the Regional Oral History Office. So, well, we start with our first question which is usually where and when were you born? 1-00:00:46 Maslach: I happened to be born in New York City, in Greenwich Village on June 19, 1921. 1-00:00:59 Wilmot: I wanted to ask you, I think, just to kind of stay with this theme of talking about your family history, I wanted you ask you if you could tell me a little bit about, actually as far as you remember, your father’s history, as far as you know your father’s family history. 1-00:01:21 Maslach: My father’s family came to San Francisco right after the Gold Rush. I believe they were here in the early 1860s, and at that time I understand, also, that there weren’t that many Italians in San Francisco, there were only 500 families. I had gone to this lecture by a professor of Italian at UC who had given this talk on Italians in San Francisco, and he said the miners came to work the mines and the Italians came and worked the miners.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview JH: JOHN HUMPHREY PK: PAUL KARLSTROM PK: Well, John, you've been associated with the San Francisco Museum of Art for a long time — probably longer than anybody else who's still around — and I believe you go back to the opening of the museum. On this tape, we'll be talking quite a bit about the growth of the museum as you've observed it. And also, of course, you've been in a good position to observe just what has happened in the Bay Area in terms of the art scene. Could you give us a little bit of your own background and just how you came to be associated with the museum? JH: Well, as a matter of fact, I'm actually a disappointed painter who decided that painting was not for him, and so, in terms of the problem of assuring enough beans on the table, I joined the staff right at the beginning of the museum. PK: What year was that? JH: That was 1935, and at the time, I actually was a packer and an unpacker of exhibitions that were being sent in from elsewhere. I helped put them on the wall and acted as one of the guards, so that I began in a very unacademic way in the arts here in the area.

    654 He was listed by the New York Times in 1914 as one of the dozen “notable” artists of Carmel.4 That fall his work was included in the Exhibition of Carmel and Southern California Artists at the Rabjohn & Morcom Gallery in San Francisco.5 A year later the Carmel Pine Cone reported that his paintings were selling well in that city.6 During the summer of 1916 he advertised his studio “by appointment only” at the “Schlingman Cottage” on Casanova Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.7 He taught art to select students in Carmel, but there is no evidence that he was an instructor at the Arts and Crafts Club Summer School. In 1913 he contributed the painting Coast View to the Seventh Annual Exhibition of that Club.8 As a Carmel resident his canvas was allowed into the award competition for that year. For the Club’s Tenth Annual in 1916 he submitted four pieces: Glow at Evening, Oaks in Spring, Happy Valley and Sand Dune-Carmel. Of these Blanche Marie d’Harcourt, art critic for The Wasp of San Francisco, declared that he “interprets Nature in her most poetical moods.”9 That December she reported that this “modest young Englishman” was hard at work “painting many scenes up the Carmel Valley.”10 In May of 1917 Walker assembled fifteen of his “small and modest” Carmel seascapes for exhibition at the Kanst Gallery in Los Angeles.11 The art critic for the Los Angeles Times, Antony Anderson, found the painter to be “a trifle over-conscientious” in depicting detail, too wordy in his titles and lacking in California’s bright colors, but he praised his drawing skills and genuine emotion.12 In a similar assessment of his “oil sketches” that June at the Schussler Brothers Gallery of San Francisco Anna Cora Winchell, the art critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, observed that the British painter depicted:13 .

  • Exhibit of Painting and Sculpture from 16
    *4 HE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK EPHONE: CIRCLE 7-7471 FOR RELEASE SATURDAY AFTERNOON DECEMBER 9th AND SUNDAY DECEMBER 10th, 19i53o The Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, announces an Exhi­ bition of Painting and Sculpture from Sixteen American Cities, to open to the public on Wednesday, December 13, and to continue until January 1, 1934. This is the twelfth American show held by the Museum and includes the work of 119 painters and sculptors from all over the country. An unusual feature of it is the large number of women artists represented; tfoeir works comprise almost one-quarter of the total number shown in the Exhibition. As was to be expected, painters throuajiout the United States show in this Exhibition a growing interest in the native scene. Archi­ tecture, farming, cattle raising, religious ceremonies, landscapes, interiors—nearly all are emphatically characteristic not only of America but in many cases of the sections where the pictures were painted. The regions which seem most artistically self-conscious are the Southwest, represented by Dallas and Santa Fe, and the Southeast, represented by Atlanta. The different sections of the country will be represented in the Exhibition as follows: for the Southeast, Atlanta is sending work by Marjorie Conant Bush-Brown, Julian H« Harris, George Ramey, Robert S. Rogers, Benjamin E. Shute and Douglas Berry Wright. For the East, Baltimore sends work by Simons Brangier Boas, Donald Vincent Coale, Herman Maril, Edward Rosenfeld, Charles Leon Schucker, Selma L. Oppenheimer, and Harold Holmes Wrenn; Boston, work by Frederick Warren Allen, Oliver Chaffee, Joseph Coletti, Carl Gordon Cutler, Howard Gibbs, Jr., Charles Hopkinson, Molly Luce, Charles Hovey Pepper, Mar^arett Sargent, and Vernon Smith; Buffalo, work by Charles E.
