Filmmaker contributes
works to Knight Library
James Ivory, an Oregon native and University
alumnus, will have his film memorabilia
showcased in the library^ Special Collections

A film is like a patchwork quilt, created piece by piece
to make a whole. Its different parts mark its journey from
idea to reality. Award-winning director and University
alumnus James Ivory is donating diverse pieces from his
film career to the Knight Library Special Collections that
may help students learn more about filmmaking.
“It’s good to hear that I wasn’t just saving all these things
in vain,” Ivory said at a press conference Wednesday, which
was followed by a reception to celebrate his contribution.
The collection, which is about 80 linear feet, is rich in
materials ranging from copies of screenplays to photo
graphs and letters. There are drafts of ideas, manuscripts
with handwritten notes, diagrams of sets and locations and
notes from auditions.
“What people don’t realize is that film is such an exer
cise in paperwork,” Ivory said. The collection also in
cludes some of Ivory’s University papers and even pri
vate letters to his father. “My whole private life is in there,
it seems,” he said.
Library staff have diligently poured over the boxes and
catalogued the materials. Some are now showcased on
the first floor of the Knight Library and outside the Spe
cial Collections Browsing Room. Ivory said he was im
pressed by the exhibitions and thanked the staff for
“dogged investigations,” and that he plans to contribute
more materials to the University.
Ivory, who grew up in Klamath Falls, studied at the Uni
versity’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts and re
ceived a bachelor of fine arts degree in 1951. He said he
initially wanted to be a set designer and he had no dreams
of making movies. His said his only view into the film
world had been through studio tours he took with his fa
ther, who sold lumber to MGM.
Ivory said at some point in his junior year, the dream of
filmmaking began to blossom. He credits some of his
teachers, such as art Professor Marion Ross, who inspired
him through their teaching.
“It never left me,” he said. “It’s certainly had an ef

feet on what I do in film.”
Ivory’s films have captivated audiences worldwide. His
company with producer Ismail Merchant, called Mer
chant Ivory, has been the force behind critically ac
claimed films like “A Room with a View,” “The Remains
of the Day” and “Howard’s End.” Merchant Ivory films
have been nominated for Academy Awards and its latest
production, “Le Divorce,” will be released later this year.
Ivory said he looks for a distinct individuality in his ac
tors and as a filmmaker, one has to have an “eye” and a
sense of what is beautiful.
The Ivory papers are an important addition to Special
Collections, according to manuscripts librarian Linda Long.
“The collection itself in terms of research value is real
ly a powerhouse,” Long said. She said the collection will
be very beneficial to many masters and doctoral students
studying film.
Special Collections and University Archives Director
James Fox agreed, saying the materials truly capture the
different phases of production.
“So many students are not just interested in the

Invite your Mends. Make sure you control the guest invitations so you don’t find yourself with 300 people
showing up, saying they have been invited by someone who was invited by someone you invited. Don’t put up
fliers, posters, etc. about your party. A moderate-sized party is one at which you can have fun. A party that
grows out of control is one where you will spend all your time dealing with problems instead of socializing
and having a good time yourself.
Keep the planned size of your party in line with die size and capacity of your facility, including bathroom
facilities. Remember that your party cannot use your neighbors’ yards or city streets.
Find ways to celebrate that do not involve alcohol. If you choose to serve alcohol, ensure that you are only
serving to people 21 years of age or older.
Determine who will be the party’s designated non-drinking monitor; those persons can do a lot to keep
things under control and should be the ones to interact with the police if they get called to your party (see 7,
9, and 10).
Remember that if you host a party that gets out of control, you may be legally liable for criminal and civil
action or restitution for police and other city services.
Remember that if you host a party, you are legally liable if persons under 21 drink alcohol or if someone
drinks until they are intoxicated.
Control access to your party. Have a door monitor with specific instructions about whom to admit. Don’t let
random people into your house who are walking around looking for a party.
Notify your neighbors of your party plans. Let them know what you plan in terms of size, hours, music, etc.
Tell them they can contact you if they have problems created by your party.
There are several circumstances that will draw police attention to your party:
• loud noise.
• admitting people under 21 years old.
• letting people carry beverages outside from your party.
Be cooperative with neighbors, police, or other concerned persons who come to you during the party to
discuss a problem. Being cooperative will keep the problem from escalating to a higher-level response (e.g.,
your arrest!).
Your neighbors may be more tolerant of your next party if you clean up promptly after your party. Clean up
all debris your guests have carried outside and left in your yard, in other people’s yards, or in the street
