Abstract:

The collection contains materials pertaining to the Haverford College Class of 1954. These include class letters, reports, materials pertaining to Class of 1954 student life, and reunion materials.

This class graduated from Haverford College in 1954.

Many of the materials in this collection were created or donated by William (Bill) G. Kaye (1933-2023), Class of 1954. Following his graduation from Haverford, Kaye attended Harvard Business School. He joined the Lyndon B. Johnson administration in 1963, working first for the Department of Commerce and then for the Executive Office of the President. Following Johnson's departure from office, Kaye moved to the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress, where he worked for 23 years prior to retirement. He served as his Class Agent at Haverford for more than six decades. As President of Haverford's Executive Committee, he oversaw a restructuring of the Development Office and the creation of Haverford Magazine. Haverford created an annual award in his name to honor exemplary service in student career development. Kaye and his wife, Cindy, also endowed the Kaye Prize in Theatre Arts, which recognizes student contributions to theater in the Haverford community.
