Abstract:

Papers of Sokolnicki, dean of the College of Speech at Marquette University and prominent member of Milwaukee's Polish-American community, consisting of a variety of personal and collected documents. Included in the collection are programs and news clippings regarding the Mazur Polish Dancers; news clippings concerning individuals and groups in the Milwaukee Polish community; and a tape recording of three events: a speech made by President Jimmy Carter at an awards dinner honoring Rep. Clement Zablocki, a 1979 Marquette University Carillon Festival, and music at a 1968 Polish Wedding Mass. On microfilm are a scrapbook of clippings about the Polish Summer School, 1936-1951; and play, radio, and television scripts, in Polish and in English, written by Sokolnicki for presentation by local Milwaukee drama clubs such as the Marshal Pilsudski Club, the Polish Fine Arts Club, student groups, and the Mazur Dancers.
