View Item Record

Description:

Philanthropist Selma Jacobs Hollander says she has had three lives in her 100 years, one as a Jewish princess, another as a Michigan State University faculty wife, and a third as the widow of MSU Professor Stanley Hollander. Hollander reminisces about her youth and her parent's influence on her life, her education, learning to sew from her mother, graduating from high school at 16, studying business at New York University and leaving to take a job at the United States post office. Hollander says that the post office job gave her the financial stability to buy a car and to take up golf. In fact, Hollander says that she met her husband Stanley on a golf course in the Poconos and that they were married in 1956 when she was 39 and that they took their honeymoon in Bermuda. The first of three oral history interviews with Selma Hollander.
