Historical Note
The following list provides a brief summary of some of the historically significant people and entities associated with the history and development of The New School. Please note that this scrapbook series also includes press information about numerous politicians, intellectuals, scientists, writers, and performing and visual artists who were perhaps more notable during their lifetimes and cultural contexts than they are presently. It is beyond the scope of this finding aid to enumerate every affilitate of The New School who was professionally active during the date range of these materials.
- Berenice Abbott (1898-1991)
- American photographer. From 1921 until 1929, Abbott studied art and photography in Paris and Berlin. Following this, she moved to New York City in 1929, and subsequently taught courses and workshops in photography at The New School from 1934 until 1965. Abbott’s oeuvre ranged from portraiture, architecture and scientific phenomenon, and during the course of her career, she published two highly acclaimed books, Changing New York (1939) and Greenwich Village Today and Yesterday (1949).
- Max Ascoli (1898-1978)
- Italian born journalist and author. In 1931, Ascoli immigrated to the United States on a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship, and within two years he became a member of the graduate studies faculty at The New School. After a long and distinguished career, during which he spent a period as dean (1939-1941) Ascoli left The New School to concentrate on The Reporter, a biweekly magazine he founded in 1949 and continued to publish until 1968.
- Charles A. Beard (1874-1978)
- American historian, professor and one of the co-founders of The New School. Beard's resignation from Columbia University in 1917 over issues of academic freedom in large part prompted the creation of The New School along with a circle of like-minded scholars and colleagues including James Harvey Robinson, Henry Dana, and Alvin Johnson.
- Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975)
- American painter and muralist who worked in the regionalist style; taught at the Art Students League from 1926 until 1935 in New York City. In 1930, Benton was commissioned by Alvin Johnson to create a mural, America Today, for Joseph Urban's New School building on 66 West 12th Street.
- Henry Cowell (1897-1965)
- American experimental composer and New School faculty member (1930-1963). Cowell offered classes in composition as well as numerous seminars on the history of folk and world music. His own compositions are also regarded as highly influential, particularly in the work of John Cage.
- Jose de Creeft (1884-1982)
- Spanish born sculptor, New School faculty (1933-1939, 1944-1970). In addition to carving in stone and wood, throughout his career he produced works modeled in clay and cast in bronze. One of de Creeft's most famous sculptures is the large scale bronze, "Alice in Wonderland" (1959) in Central Park.
- The Dramatic Workshop (1940-1953)
- Established as a division of The New School in 1940 and led by the German born dramatist and political activist, Erwin Piscator, the Dramatic Workshop offered laboratory classes, lectures on theatrical history and professional public performances. The Dramatic Workshop also sponsored three semi-professional off-Broadway theaters (the Studio Theatre, and the President and Rooftop Theatres), a children's theater run by Piscator's wife Maria Ley, several summer theaters, radio and film workshops, and a subscription repertory theater. Notable affiliates of the Dramatic Workshop include Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg among others, and notable alumni include Tennessee Williams, Marlon Brando, Rod Steiger, Shelley Winters, Tony Curtis, Harry Belafonte, John Gassner, and Elaine Stritch.
- École Libre des Hautes Études (1940-Present)
- In 1942, with a charter from de Gaulle’s Free French government-in-exile, The New School sponsored the formation of the École Libre with the aim of providing refugee scholars from Vichy France a place to freely conduct their intellectual lives and careers. Classes were taught in French, and the founding faculty included the philosopher Jacques Maritain, the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, the linguist Roman Jakobson, and the political scientist Henry Bonnet. After the war, the institution gained autonomy from The New School and evolved into the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.
- Camilo Egas (1889-1962)
- Ecuadorian artist, muralist, New School faculty (1932-1962); the first director of the Fine Arts department. His 1932 painting, Ecuadorian Festival was comissioned by Alvin Johnson for 66 West 12th Street, for a wall facing a basement dance studio and rehearsal room that was used by avant garde dancers Doris Humphrey and Martha Graham.
- Bryn J. Hovde (1896-1954)
- American historian and political scientist, president of The New School (1945-1950.) Previous to Hovde's tenure, he served as the technical secretary for UNESCO, and he headed the Division of Cultural Cooperation at the State Department.
- Alvin Johnson (1874-1971)
- American economist and founding member of The New School for Social Research. From 1919 to 1945, Johnson served as president of The New School, and during his tenure, he was a tireless advocate for adult education, as well as liberal and humanitarian causes. Among his numerous accomplishments, in 1932, he established the Univeristy in Exile, and in 1942, he was instrumental in founding the École Libre des Hautes Études. Both were programs designed to provide safe haven for displaced European scholars in the United States. In 1945, Johnson became the president emeritus of The New School.
- Gorham Munson (1896-1969)
- American writer, New School faculty (1927-1947). Munson co-edited eight issues of the literary review Secession (spring 1922- April 1924), and created a manual for writing, The Written Word (1949). Additionally, he was the first to publish a critical study of the works of poet Robert Frost.
- José Clemente Orozco (1883-1949)
- Mexican social realist painter and muralist who was active in the United States between the years 1928 to 1945. In 1931, Alvin Johnson comissioned Orozco to create five frescos for The New School building at 65 West 12th Street, "Allegory of Science, Labor, and Art"; "Homecoming of the Worker of the New Day"; "The Struggle in the Occident"; and "Creative Man."
- Hans Simons (1906-1968)
- German born political scientist, founder of the Berlin Hochschulle, Weimar diplomat. In 1933, Simons immigrated to the United States on a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship to become a faculty member of the University in Exile. He served as the president of The New School (1950-1960).
- University in Exile
- Under the leadership of Alvin Johnson, and with generous funding by the Rockefeller Foundation and philanthropist Hiram Halle, The New School opened the University in Exile in 1933. The University in Exile served as the graduate division of the School for Social Research and a haven for German intellectuals and scholars who were persecuted during the Nazi regime. New School faculty positions were created for nine distinguished scholars: five economists (Karl Brandt, Gerhard Colm, Arthur Feiler, Eduard Heimann, and Emil Lederer); two psychologists (Max Wertheimer and Erich von Hornbostel, who was also a leading musicologist); one expert in social policy (Frieda Wunderlich); and one sociologist (Hans Speier). In 1934, the University in Exile received authorization from the Board of Regents of the State of New York to offer masters and doctoral degrees, and in 1935, this division was formalized as the Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science.
- Joseph Urban (1872-1933)
- Austrian born architect and scenic designer; architect and designer of the 66 West 12th Street building for The New School (1929-1931.) During his prolific career, in addition to working on private residential and commercial commissions, Urban created scenic designs for theater and opera houses in Vienna and throughout Europe and for the Boston Opera Company; he worked with the Metropolitan Opera of New York, and he also created designs for the Ziegfield Follies, numerous Broadway shows, and Hollywood films.
- Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929)
- American economist and sociologist. In addition to being a prolific writer, perhaps best known for his book, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), Veblen was also one of the co-founders and core faculty members of The New School.
- Frieda Wunderlich (1884-1965)
- German born economist and politician; the only female faculty member of the University in Exile in 1933. Wunderlich achieved international recognition for her research and publications on labor and social policy, including women’s work.

External Support
The processing of these scrapbooks, along with the digitization of a portion of them was funded by an Innovations in Education grant from the Provost's Office of The New School. The grant was obtained by New School faculty members Julia Foulkes and Mark Larrimore in preparation for a course in the history of The New School in Spring of 2012. The digitization of the scrapbooks was managed, and the collection processed by archivist Jennifer Larson under the auspices of the Kellen Design Archives at The New School. The physical scrapbooks were rehoused and returned to the custody of the Fogelman Social Science and Humanities Library at The New School.
