Biography/History
During the 1950s, Munn Feinberg established a weekly intellectual meeting with the aim of furthering education of a group
of local physicians, dentists, businessmen, and other professionals in the Los Angeles area. Known informally as "The Monday
Night Class," the lectures ranged in topics from American foriegn policy and international affairs to literature and philosophy.
From 1963 until the mid 1970s the class was expanded and administrated by Sally Anais Naiditch (1921-2002), who was responsible
for seeking out lecturers and often times hosting the class, which moved around to the homes of different members. Naiditch
documented this unusual educational opprotunity for accomplished professionals in Los Angeles by audio recording the lectures
and discussions using mostly reel-to-reel format.
Scope and Content
The collection is made up of an estimated 168 reel-to-reel and cassette tape audio recordings of lectures on topics ranging
from world affairs and American foreign policy to literature and philosophy. Most lectures pertain to the humanities and social
sciences. Specific topics are descriped in the scope and content note of each folder; lecture subjects include international
relations, religion, culture, political policy and philosophy, European and American history, art, literature, and aesthetics.
Each reel-to-reel audio tape recording contains multiple lectures, and the materials are arranged in chronological order.
