Biographical Note
Robert Gaston "Bob" Moch (June 20, 1914–January 18, 2005) was an American rower, coach, and lawyer who famously competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics. He was born and raised in Montesano, Washington by an American mother, Fleeta Belle, who was a homemaker, and a Swiss father, Gaston, who operated a jewelry store. In 1932, Robert Moch entered the University of Washington, keeping busy as a member of multiple sports and academic honor societies for engineering. He joined the University of Washington Crew team as a freshman coxswain, owing to his slight frame and height. By 1936, he was selected to compete at the Varsity level by head coach Al Ulbrickson, where he eventually went on to the 1936 Olympics and won gold as coxswain in the Men's eight event.
After graduating, Robert Moch coached alongside Ulbrickson for four years as his assistant, before moving on to Boston to coach crew at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1940 and to attend Harvard Law. After completing his degree, Robert Moch passed the bar exam in both Massachusetts and Washington, and moved back to his home state to practice law in the Seattle area, even defending clients in front of the Supreme Court during the course of his successful career. He remained an avid patron of crew his whole life, and supported many rowing clubs, teams, and programs.
Historical Background
The 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin were one of two Olympic games held during Nazi Germany. The first place win of the University of Washington Varsity Husky Crew in the Men's eight event—over both the German and Italian teams—was seen by some as an ideological, socio-economic, and athletic mark of the inferiority of fascist governments, and the superiority of American-style liberal democracy. The 1936 Summer Olympics brought the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany to mainstream politics, where it became a contested political issue, and contributed in no small part to the events of World War Two.
Content Description
Film and photographs showing the 1936 University of Washington Husky Crew team practicing for and competing at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, and Robert Moch's family and friends at social gatherings, reunions, and other festivities. Also includes three rowing jerseys from the 1936 Berlin Olympics: one United States jersey worn by Bob Moch and one jersey each from the English and German crews.

Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta
Scope and Content: The Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta is the oldest national competition for collegiate rowing in the US. The Regatta was held off-and-on in Poughkeepsie, NY on the mid Hudson River from 1895 to 1951, where the city became synonymous with the event. In 1936, Al Ulbrickson and his Varsity team arrived to compete against Cornell, Princeton, Syracuse University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Pennsylvania, and the United States Naval Academy, after going against Cal at the Pacific Coast Regatta months earlier. Here, the Varsity team demonstrated Robert Moch's signature delayed-push coxswaining tactic, which worked to great effect, publicity, and fanfare.
