Overview and metadata sections
Theodore Brinton Hetzel (1906-1990) was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and attended Westtown School and Haverford College, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1928. He completed graduate studies in mechanical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, the Technical University of Munich (Germany), and Penn State University. He returned to Haverford College in 1936 as an engineering professor, remaining on the faculty until 1972. Hetzel served on the Indian Committees of the American Friends Service Committee and Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. In 1955, the Indian Rights Association asked him to join its board of directors. In 1969 the Association appointed him its executive director and editor of its publication Indian Truth. In 1971 Hetzel was named its general secretary. Adopted by the Seneca Indians, he was given the Indian name "Our friend." A semi-professional photojournalist, Hetzel was a contract photographer for Haverford College for a number of years; he also took many photographs of peace and anti-war activities in the Philadelphia area and in Washington, D.C., beginning in the late 1950s.
