Item Letter from William C. Fels to Edith Meiser McKnight with attached memo(Bennington College, 1960-02-10)Item Letter from Oscar M. Ruebhausen to William C. Fels with attached memo(Bennington College, 1959-10-23)Item A Theatre for Bennington(THEATRE ARTS Monthly, 1935) Lauterer, ArchThe Trustees of Bennington College have accepted the model for a theatre on the College campus designed by Arch Lauterer, member of the Department of Drama at the College. There are several facts that make this an interesting decision. This is probably the first time in which the man who will direct the work in drama and the production of plays at an American college has had the opportunity to design with entire freedom the theatre he is to use, and to fit it both adequately and flexibly to the needs and the opportunities of college production and community service.
