    Oral history interview with Karl Drerup, 1974 November 15-1975 January 28 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Karl Drerup on November 15, 1974 and January 28, 1975. The interview was conducted in Thornton, NH by Robert Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview ROBERT BROWN: This is an interview in Thornton, New Hampshire in November 15, 1974 with Karl Drerup and I would like to begin by—if you will talk a bit about your childhood. I know your family was a very old one in Westphalia [Germany] and if you could give some feeling of your family as you knew them and some of the memories of your earlier childhood. KARL DRERUP: All right. A very strictly orthodox Roman Catholic family to begin with. This is one of the main elements of my terribly religious middle-class shelter, if you wish. Ja, this would be a good description. Of course, First World War fell into my time, into my youth. ROBERT BROWN: You were about 10 when it started; weren't you? KARL DRERUP: Yeah, and we saw the army go out on horseback and come back on horseback you might say is what happened—during the war, my mother's and my stepfather's particular interests were to have one of their children become a clergyman.

  • The Evolution of a Vision
    COPLAC – The Evolution of a Vision 1. Present at the Creation – 1986-1992 In the summer of 1986, David G. Brown, then Chancellor at The University of North Carolina Asheville, had an idea. Those who have worked with Dr. Brown know him to be something of a perpetual motion machine for generating good ideas, but this one was particularly fruitful. Dr. Brown recognized that the character and mission and selectivity in recruitment and admissions of UNC Asheville as a college small by choice, focusing upon undergraduate liberal learning, made it an outrider in the University of North Carolina system. Reflecting upon his familiarity with the American higher education landscape (he had recently served as Chair of the Board of the American Association for Higher Education), Brown noticed that there were other institutions of a similar nature scattered throughout the nation, and observed that it might be mutually beneficial to build links between them. This was the initial spark that grew into today’s Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC). Indeed, it can even be seen as the discovery of a previously unrecognized segment of the American collegiate scene, the public liberal arts college. Chancellor Brown had the institutional research office at UNC Asheville compile a list of comparable institutions, arranged phone conversations with well over a dozen of their chief executives, and personally visited St. Mary’s College of Maryland and Mary Washington College in Virginia. An initial list of 15 institutions was narrowed to 12, the Presidents/Chancellors (and in a few cases the chief academic officers) of which were invited to convene in Asheville in May of 1988.
