The following information was provided by respondents to requests for information from UW Week "Lost & Found Films" series, 2009-10.
This clip is taken from a group of films depicting student life in the 1940s and 1950s. There is very little specific information about this footage, although there is some evidence that some of this film might have been sent to Coronet Films for use in an education film titled "Campus Scenes, " however cursory searches haven't turned up much information about this particular film. According to Archive.org: Coronet Instructional Films were shown in American schools starting in about 1941. The company was an offshoot of Coronet Magazine, a digest-sized magazine that itself was owned by Esquire, Inc. Owner David Smart was deeply interested in visual education and the power of the film to teach and convince, and built a full studio on his estate in Glenview, Illinois, where at its height hundreds of films were cranked out each year. The films were sold to schools and libraries by a network of distributors and were quite successful -- in 1976 Coronet celebrated its sale of 1 million prints. http://www.archive.org/details/coronet_instructional_videos |
