Biographical History for: Dramatic Activities Collection
Historical Note Professor Ralph C. (Tuffy) McGoun (AC 1927) is responsible for creating the Dramatic Activities Collections between 1978 and 1984. McGoun, who was professor of Dramatics and the lighting and technical director for College productions, had been responsible for ensuring much of the 20th century documentation was saved in Kirby Theater. After McGoun retired, he became a dedicated volunteer in the College Archives. McGoun facilitated the transfer of the material preserved in Kirby. He worked with the Theater Department to transfer appropriate material. He added many items he had personally saved during his more than 60 years at the College. McGoun identified 19th century material from what has been the College's memorabilia in the former Hitchcock Memorial Room and brought it together into the developing Dramatic Activities Collection. While arranging and describing the collection, McGoun searched contemporary accounts of productions in College and local and national publications and added those accounts to the collection. He searched scrapbooks, bound volumes and photograph albums kept by students and identified and added any items that chronicled the dramatic arts at the College. He also arranged for ongoing transfer of material documenting College productions from the Department of Theater and Dance. Thus the Dramatic Activities Collection is a growing collection. Between 1978 and 1984, Professor McGoun collected, arranged and described the nucleus of this comprehensive collection. Since different items were received at various times from different sources and were pulled together to form a collection, there was no original order to maintain. Additional items are added regularly and the listing amended. The original guide to the collection was in the form of a card catalogue providing alphabetical access by title of production to a chronological arrangement of material. The original card catalogue also included access to material by format and by general subjects relating to dramatic activities at the College. In 2002, the original card file was transferred into machine readable format. The collection was organized into 14 series reflecting the different formats and subjects represented in the collection. Access to the primary series, Dramatic Productions, was expanded to three access points - author of the play, title of the production and date of the performances.

Scope and Contents of the Collection The Dramatic Activities Collection documents the history of dramatics at Amherst College, beginning in 1822. The Collection includes surviving programs, scripts, photographs and slides, set and costume designs, publicity material and posters, clippings, audio and video material, and an odd object or two that chronicle the conceptualization, creation, production and review of hundreds of College dramatic performances during the last 180 years. The collection grows as the College creates new productions. The Collection occupies approximately 41 linear feet of shelf space plus 12 flat file drawers. The breadth of this collection is unusual - documenting all student performances, from the earliest "dialogues" performed at the first commencement in 1822, to the ceremonial prank burnings of mathematics textbooks in effigy after surviving the sophomore year; to complete set and costume designs for the Masquers performances for 30 years; to the extensive photographic documentation of performances beginning in the 1880s; to the masks used in several of the performances. In addition to this documentation of performance, the collection chronicles the history of student dramatic groups, documents the relationship of the theater in the Five College environment, and contains records of courses offered in the dramatic arts at Amherst for 50 years. While the Dramatic Activities Collection is most useful in its relationship to the history of Amherst College, is it also an excellent source for studying the history of student activities and dramatic expression during the 19th and 20th centuries and the changing attitudes toward such things during that time.
