                            Inventory

Abstract:      Frederick Henry Koch (1877-1944), professor of
           dramatic literature at the University of North Dakota
           and University of North Carolina; founder and director
           of the Carolina Playmakers.
               Correspondence, writings, photographs and other
           material documenting the life of Frederick Henry Koch
           from his years as an undergraduate at Ohio Wesleyan
           University until his death.  The bulk of the
           collection, particularly the correspondence, deals
           with his personal and family life.  Especially notable
           is a series of long letters, ca. 1897-1917, to Koch
           from his father, August Wilhelm Koch, concerning
           family matters and life in Peoria, Ill. 
           Correspondence after 1944 is chiefly addressed to
           Koch's niece, Adeline Denham McCall, and documents the
           lives of Koch's wife, Jean Hanigan Koch, and four sons
           after his death.  Also included are personal and
           professional correspondence with literary agents,
           publishers, other dramatists, and University of North
           Carolina faculty and officers; newspaper articles and
           pamphlets Koch wrote about the theater; notes about
           play production; some information about Koch's
           involvement with the American Pageant Association;
           class-records from the University of North Carolina;
           and diaries from Koch's student years.  The activities
           of the Carolina Playmakers are primarily represented
           by photographs and copies of prompt books for plays
           written by students.

Biographical Note

[This note is from the sketch of Koch written by Samuel Selden
for the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography (vol. 3, p. 381). 
A family chart produced by the compilers of this inventory
follows.]

   "Frederick Henry Koch, 12 September 1877-16 August 1944, was
born in Covington, Kentucky, in a family of nine boys and one
girl.  His father, August William Koch, was of German ancestry;
his mother, Rebecca Cornelia Julian Koch, came from French stock.

August, an accountant and cashier in the Etna Life Insurance
Company, was a freehand artist and inventor.  His imaginative
bent showed up in his children:  three of his sons became
architects, the daughter a singer.  From his father, Frederick
obtained creative talents, from his mother a playful disposition.

   "Koch grew up in Illinois.  He attended Peoria High School and
Caterals Methodist College, then Ohio Wesleyan, from which he was
graduated with the A.B. degree in 1900.  Wishing passionately to
become an actor, he spent some time at the Emerson School of
Oratory in Boston, but when his family frowned on his histrionic
ambition, Koch enrolled at Harvard to study English literature. 
Unable to stifle completely his thespian urge, however, he
traveled around the countryside giving readings of Shakespeare. 
He was awarded the M.A. degree in 1909.

   "At Harvard Koch fell under the dramatic influence of George
Pierce Baker who was, at the time, stirring a group of young men
and women to write plays on native American subjects.  After
graduation, Koch took an extended trip to Greece, North Africa,
Syria, Egypt, and Palestine.  At Athens he met an Irish-American
girl, Loretta Jean Hanigan, whom he married in 1910.  They had
four sons:  Frederick, George, Robert, and William.  From 1905 to
1918 Koch taught English at the University of North Dakota where,
besides conducting courses in literature, he founded the Dakota
Playmakers.  The Playmakers produced one-act plays on the life of
the state, written by students.  The plays were trouped around
North Dakota and presented to schools and communities, some of
which had never before seen a dramatic performance.

   "Informed of the singularly productive work being done by
Professor Koch in the Midwest, President Edward Kidder Graham of
The University of North Carolina wished to develop similar
creative activity at his institution.  In 1918 he wrote to Koch
and persuaded him to come to the Southeast.  In Chapel Hill, Koch
taught dramatic literature and playwriting for twenty-six years. 
Young men and women from every section of the state came to work
with him, and they were soon joined by students from other
states, then from abroad; Canada, England, Germany, Egypt, Korea,
Japan, the Philippines, Mexico, Chile, and elsewhere.  Among the
dramatists, novelists, and short-story writers (authors, who were
inspired and guided in one way or another by the lively theater
man from the Midwest) were Thomas Wolfe, Paul Green, Betty Smith,
Jonathan Daniels, Noel Houston, Joseph Mitchell, Frances Gray
Patton, Bernice Kelly Harris, Le Gette Blythe, Howard Richardson,
and Josefina Niggli.

   "To provide a means for his authors to see their work in
performances, Koch organized a producing group, the Carolina
Playmakers, modeled on the Playmakers of North Dakota.  Many of
the actors, directors, dancers, and designers who received
instruction at The University of North Carolina later entered the
professional world of the stage, motion pictures, and 
television.  The university group--again following the example of
the Dakota students--trouped their plays all over North Carolina,
and extended their tours to such far-off places as New York,
Boston, Dallas, and St. Louis.

   "With the help of the University Extension Department and its
associates, Koch established a Bureau of Community Drama, with a
field secretary, which developed dramatic centers in other parts
of the state.  The productions of high school, college, and
community groups were brought yearly to the university in Chapel
Hill where they were staged in a spring Festival.  Thirty years
after Koch's death, the yearly Festival was still being held.

   "Selected student-written plays were published by Koch in five
volumes: Carolina Folk Plays (in four series) and American Folk
Plays.  He sponsored single authors' works in Alabama Folk Plays,
by Kate Porter Lewis; Folk Plays of Eastern Carolina, by Bernice
Kelly Harris; and Mexican Folk Plays, by Josefina Niggli.  Some
of Miss Niggli's short stories were combined and produced as a
motion picture, Sombrero.  Outdoor historical plays, inspired by
Koch and written by Paul Green and Kermit Hunter, were produced
and published.

   "Koch used the term `folk play' in the sense of the German
`volk' (common people), thus describing his employment of the
word:  "The term `folk,' as we use it, has nothing to do with the
folk play of medieval times.  But rather is it concerned with
folk subject matter: with the legends, superstitions, customs,
environmental differences, and the vernacular of the common
people.  For the most part they are realistic and human;
sometimes they are imaginative and poetic."  The early plays of
Eugene O'Neill and Paul Green, Koch regarded as folk plays; the
dramas of such writers as Bernard Shaw and John Von Druten were
not.

   "A man of remarkable energy and enthusiasm, Koch remained
active until the time of his death.  He was buried in the old
Chapel Hill Cemetery."

Ohio Wesleyan University (Delaware, Ohio) and Emerson School of
Oratory (Boston).  These letters primarily concern family
matters, events in Peoria, and responses to Koch's description of
life at school.  A. W. Koch also frequently encouraged his son to
live an upright Christian life.
