This collection includes reflections and reminiscences of selected faculty, alumni, staff, and administrators who have served the College for a significant number of years or made noteworthy contributions during their tenure at Rollins. It also includes the stories of other individuals with more informal, but still important, ties to Winter Park and the campus community.

Please note that the viewpoints expressed by individual interviewees are their own perspectives and recollections, and do not necessarily represent the official position of the College, Olin Library, or Rollins Archives. We have chosen to post these materials as they were originally presented, in accordance with our mission to preserve and share the history of Rollins, and in the belief that an uncensored historical record is essential to supporting scholarly research and institutional integrity.

A note on copyright and reuse: These documents and images are intended for non-commercial, educational, and personal use only, and may not be reproduced or distributed without written permission from Rollins College Archives.
