"James R. Getz: Collector & Activist"

Getz, James R., 1910-1986

During the decade following Mr. Getz's death in 1986 the Donnelley Library, in cooperation with the College's development office, offered annual James R. Getz Lectures. In February of 1995, a year after Arthur H. Miller became Archivist and Librarian for Special Collections following his service a College Librarian, 1972-94, he gave this lecture for the annual event. It offers biographical information about Mr. Getz's life and career in Lake County, IL, as mayor of Mettawa, 1960-86, and as a local historian, philanthropist, and promoter of local organizations and institutions. Mrs. Getz remained actively interested in the library through the rest of her life, until her own passing 2009.
