Description	This interview is included in the Indiana University Folklore Institute, 1987 Collection at the Indiana University Center for the Study of History and Memory. In this interview, Richard Bauman, born on October 28, 1940, discusses the need he had for something more as an English major at the University of Michigan. His background in folklore gained from a childhood summer camp and his parents, led to his decision to pursue this interest at Indiana University. Bauman talks about the many courses he took, his teachers and classmates, and how this area of study led him to an interest in Anthropology and American history which he then studied at the University of Pennsylvania). He discusses the folklore program at Indiana University as it was when he attended, its beginnings, and the changes that have since occurred. He compares the program to that of other universities and discusses those who had the greatest influence, including Richard Dorson and Stith Thompson.

Rights	Copies of transcript pages are available only when such copies are permitted by the deed of gift signed by the interviewee. Scholars must honor any restrictions the interviewee placed on the use of an interview. Since some of our earlier (pre-computer) transcripts do not yet exist in final form, any editing marks in a transcript (deletions, additions, corrections) are to be quoted as marked. Tapes may not be copied for patrons unless the deed of gift permits it. Because our interviewees edit their transcripts, the transcript (if one exists) is the only version of the interview that may be quoted for publication. Interviews may not be reproduced in full for any public use, but excerpted quotes may be used as long as scholars fully cite any Indiana University Center for the Study of History and Memory data in their research, including accession number, interview date, interviewee's and interviewer's names, and page(s).
