- W832949618 abstract "Alison Rentein recalls her father laughing while he graded stacks of folklore collections and counseling, Whatever you do, enjoy your work! Enjoy his work, did. He loved folklore with a passion; taught about folklore matters with equal passion; and mentored his folklore students with care and concern. spent all but one of his forty-three year career at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB). After completing his Ph.D. at Indiana University in 1962, went to the University of Kansas as an instructor, splitting his time equally between the English and departments. Then as his mentor, Richard Dorson, effused in December 1962, Dundes goes from Kansas to Berkeley as a folklorist, in the department (Zumwalt 1988:8-9, quoting Dorson to Taylor, emphasis in the original). Recruited to UCB to help create and administer a folklore program, Alan worked closely with William Bascom (1933-81) and others to craft an M.A. in folklore with an emphasis on international scholarship. By the end of March 1965, the UCB Graduate Council had approved the Master of Arts degree in the field of folklore; Bascom was appointed chair and was appointed Graduate Advisor (Elberg to Bascom, 31 Mar. 1965; Bascom to Fretter, 20 Apr. 1965).By April 1965, had written a draft announcement for the M.A. in folklore in which he stressed how the UCB program would differ from others, Beginning in September 1965 the University of California, Berkeley, will initiate an program in folklore aimed, initially, at the M.A. degree. This program will differ from that offered at U.C.L.A. in that its emphasis will international and cross-cultural. continued, Berkeley program will also differ from other established folklore programs in its attempt to bring together the methodology of the two main schools of that of the European and that of cultural anthropology (Dundes, Draft Announcement, 9 Apr. 1965). The course offerings for the first year of the M.A. program in 1965-66 included four new graduate in Folklore, among which were the following: Folklore 200, The Folktale and Allied Forms, to taught by if he could be released from one of the courses to which he was assigned; and Folklore 250A-250B, Seminar in Folklore Theory and Techniques. The latter course was offered as an interdisciplinary consideration of diverse topics related to fieldwork and research in folklore, and taught by faculty from departments in which folklore was offered. The undergraduate classes included Dundes's two new courses, The Forms of Folklore and North American Indian Folklore (Bascom to Fretter, 20 Apr. 1965).By the end of the second year of the M.A. program in Bascom was able to report to the dean, number of graduate students has increased from six our first year (1965-66) to 13 our second year ( 1966-67) (Bascom to Fretter, 3 April 1967). Also at the end of the second year, the first two Master of Arts in Folklore were awarded: Mary Bunton Adebonojo, Text-Setting in Yoruba Secular Music, and Justine Quagliano Walters, Igbo Aphorisms in the Novels of Chinua Achebe. Elated with the success of the program, and Bascom flirted with the idea, implicit in their early plans, to expand to a Ph.D. program. Bascom wrote to the Dean of Letters and Science, Inasmuch as there are no doctoral programs in folklore on the West Coast, it is very likely that either UCLA or Berkeley's M.A. programs, or both, will attempt to expand to a full-fledged Ph.D. department (Bascom to Feder, 29 Sept. 1967). The euphoria of growth in the latter part of the 1960s led to the sobriety of budget restrictions in the 1970s, an outgrowth of which was the implementation of the quota system for acceptance of folklore graduate students. In their letter to Dean of the Graduate Division Sanford Elberg, Bascom and wrote, We wish to protest the quota of new graduate students for the next academic year, 1971-72, assigned to folklore. …" @default.
