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, Dov Noy discusses his involvement with the Indiana University Folklore Institute. Originally from Poland, Noy was educated in Israel, when he was stranded there when World War II started. During his time with the British Army, Noy became interested in folk narrative. He originally came to IU to study comparative literature, but quickly switched to folklore. Noy speaks of the Summer Institute and the classes he taught. He also describes his perceptions and relationship with Stith Thompson, whom he felt was very welcoming to students, even though he may not have been a good lecturer. Noy discusses his relationship with Richard Dorson. Noy discusses the development of folklore studies in Israel, which he has been active in promoting since his return in the late 1950s. This collection is part of the Indiana University Folklore Institute, 1987 collection which is available at the Indiana University Center for the Study of History and Memory. It consists of: 27 pages; 1 cassette (1 7/8 ips, 53 minutes) with no index, and a newspaper article. This collection is closed until 2015 except to authorized project personnel. The IU Folklore Institute, 1987 collection deals with the beginning, the building, and the growth of the Indiana University (IU) Folklore Institute into an internationally recognized program. The interviewees are mostly students and/or faculty of the folklore program from the 1940s to the 1980s. They discuss those who most influenced and impacted the institute, namely Stith Thompson and Richard M. Dorson. They share their memories and experiences of the time they spent, or continue to spend, in the IU Folklore Institute.

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).
