Scope and content:

Alan B. Gilman attended Indiana University at South Bend from 1948 to 1950, earned his undergraduate degree in history from Indiana University at Bloomington in 1952, and received his MBA from the Indiana University School of Business in 1954. In this interview, Gilman discusses his years growing up in South Bend, Indiana, his years as an undergraduate at Indiana University at South Bend, and charismatic teachers he had at that institution, including Rosemary Daugherty and Dee Perguson. In addition, he discusses Indiana University regional campuses, nontraditional students, and his time at Indiana University at Bloomington. After college, Gilman went on to a long and unusually successful career in business, which began when the Lazarus chain recruited him right after the completion of his last degree.
