[Interview of Michigan State University Professor Emerita Pauline Adams on her late husband, MSU economics professor and university president Walter Adams, coming to Michigan State College, their home, and her teaching career].

In a spirited oral history interview, Michigan State University Professor Emerita Pauline Adams, widow of MSU economics professor and university president Walter Adams, reminisces about her husband, coming to Michigan State College in 1947, living in faculty housing, and building a home in the faculty developed Lantern Hill neighborhood in East Lansing. Adams also talks about conducting interviews for the MSU Faculty Emeriti Association Oral History Project, teaching in the Department of American Thought and Language as tenure track professor and having James P. Hoffa, son of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa, as a student at about the time his father disappeared. Adams says that the ATL curriculum did more for the faculty than the students because it forced faculty to broaden themselves beyond their field of expertise. Interview conducted by MSU Professor John Revitte. Ends abruptly.
