Papers of a businessman and civic leader of Tacoma, Washington discussing his numerous civic activities and his social and family life

Frederick T. Haley was a Tacoma businessman and civic leader. His chief interests in civic life were education, civil rights, and civil liberties.

Frederick T. Haley was born in Tacoma, Washington, on June 29, 1912. He grew up in Tacoma and attended Stadium High School. His father, J. Clifford Haley, co-founded Brown & Haley, a candy manufacturing company known for its signature product, Almond Roca, in 1912. Fred Haley earned a B.A. from Dartmouth in 1935 and returned to Tacoma to work as a salesman for Brown & Haley. He also studied business at the University of Washington. During WWII Haley served in the Pacific as a Navy harbor pilot. There he developed both a lifelong love of the Pacific Islands and, in the face of the stark realities of war, a drive to dedicate himself to meaningful and difficult civic causes. After the war, Haley married Dorothy Geyer and had four children. He became chairman and chief executive officer of Brown & Haley after his father’s death in 1954.

In the succeeding years, Haley involved himself in a myriad of civic causes. In the 1950s and 1960s his efforts were focused mainly on education and civil rights and liberties. During his tenure on the Tacoma School Board, on which he served two terms as chair, Haley was an outspoken critic of de-facto school segregation and advocated bussing programs as a remedy. He charged that segregated schools hindered the development of all children in a racially diverse society. As a school board member, Haley took another stand on a controversial issue when he spoke out in defense of Jean Schuddakopf, an elementary school counselor who refused to submit to questioning by the House Un-American Activities Committee. He served as president of the Pierce County School Directors’ Association in 1957. Haley continued his work for civil rights as a founding member of the Washington Citizens’ Committee for Civil Rights Legislation. During this time he also served on the Washington State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and on the boards of the Washington State Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Washington State Board Against Discrimination.

Under Haley’s leadership, Brown & Haley competed successfully on the world market and earned a Presidential E for Export award in the 1960s. Haley believed strongly in the value of American awareness of international issues; he took his family on extended trips to Europe and encouraged his children to study multiple foreign languages. These experiences were useful to Haley in the arena of international trade. He served on the Washington State International Trade Fair’s (WSITF) board of trustees, planning committee, and executive committee during the 1970s. He was president of WSITF in 1974 and attended several trips to Asia and the USSR with WSITF delegations. Haley was also a member of the Pacific Northwest International Trade Council. He served on the steering committee of the Regional Export Expansion Council in 1968. Haley also supported several organizations that promoted international peace and friendship. These included Turn Toward Peace and its successor, the World Without War Council; Platform for Peace; Focus International; Friendship Force; and the United Nations Association Advisory Council on Nuclear Proliferation. He was state chairman of Washington United Nations Day in 1979.

Education remained an interest throughout Haley’s civic career. He was active in the National Committee for Support of the Public Schools throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. He served on the board of advisors of the U.S. Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education in 1980 and 1981. Governor Spellman appointed Haley as chair of the Washington State Temporary Committee on Educational Policies Structure and Management in 1983.

Often described as an educational visionary, Haley favored progressive and experimental approaches to the improvement of public education. In the mid-1970s he chaired the board of trustees of Tacoma’s Prometheus College. The college, which closed due to financial difficulties around 1979, allowed students to design their own courses and offered a number of correspondence and evening courses designed to make post-secondary education more accessible for non-traditional students. Haley went on to serve on the board of governors of the The Evergreen State College (TESC) from 1978 to the mid-1980s. A public college formed in 1971, TESC matched Haley’s progressive approach to education. Evergreen encourages self-directed learning, maintains small classes with high levels of student participation, and issues written student evaluations instead of grades.

Even as Haley scaled back his civic activities in the mid-1980s, he took on a new position on the University of Washington Tacoma (UWT) Siting Advisory Board. Haley advocated the idea that a branch campus of Washington’s largest public university would be a valuable asset to the citizens of Tacoma and its vicinity. (Tacoma was already home to two private universities, Pacific Lutheran University and the University of Puget Sound.) In 1991, after several years of planning, the University of Washington opened its second branch campus. A driving force behind the successful birth of the UWT, Haley gave the featured speech at the university’s first full-fledged commencement ceremony in 1992.

After a lifetime of civil service, Haley’s most prestigious awards and honors included a 1963 John Hay Fellowship for study at the Williams College Summer Institute in the Humanities, an honorary doctorate from the University of Puget Sound in 1970, and the William O. Douglas Award from the Washington Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union in 1985. Frederick T. Haley died in 2005.

Donated by Frederick Haley, August 22, 1972.

The papers were processed in 2002. Three accessions (1988-001, 1988-002, 1988-003) and papers acquired during the processing period (Accession No. 1988-004) were merged to create the final accession, 1988-005. The two earliest accessions (1988-001 and 1988-002) form the collected papers of Henry (Hank) Adams.

The papers were already divided by organization when they arrived at the University of Washington Libraries, and that arrangement has been maintained. Significant organizational materials have been arranged at the series level; many of the smaller groups were combined into a single series.

The Washington State Historical Society in Tacoma, Washington, holds the corporate records of Brown & Haley.

Civil Rights and Liberties Organizations 1948-1993 American Civil Liberties Union of Washington 1948-1993

Frederick Haley served on the board of directors of the Washington Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union in the 1950s. Haley received the ACLU’s highest honor, the William O. Douglas Award, in 1985. The award recognized his enduring commitment to the cause of civil liberties, as exemplified by his efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination through such organizations as the Washington State Board Against Discrimination and by his defense of accused Communist Jean Schuddakopf during the McCarthy Era. (See the section below on the Tacoma School Board for more discussion of the Schuddakopf case.)

. The papers are rich in correspondence, which spans the 1950s to the 1980s. Major correspondents include Peter Eglick, Leslie Sussman, and Fred Tausend.

Haley was a member of the Tacoma School Board from 1954-1965. He served as chair from 1956-1957 and 1963-1964.

The papers include organizational information, correspondence, minutes, speeches and writings, subject series, and clippings. Major correspondents include Angelo Giaudrone, Frank Gillihan, J.L. Boze, Michael Sterbick, and Louis Bruno.

The papers also document the Tacoma School Board’s involvement in matters of regional and national public debate from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. Racially segregated neighborhoods fed children into segregated neighborhood schools in what came to be known as de-facto school segregation. The resulting debate focused on the question of whether bussing should be used to combat school segregation.

Under the pressure of the increasing number of people seeking higher education, a Tacoma community college was proposed in the early 1960s. This sparked local debates among school directors and members of the public over the relative merits of community colleges, vocational schools, and universities. These papers also reflect the dialog that took place as Washington State wrestled with the task of deciding which administrative body would govern the emerging community colleges.

Frederick Haley’s Tacoma School Board papers also document McCarthyism in Tacoma and Washington State. Jean Schuddakopf, a counselor at a Tacoma public school, was called before a Seattle hearing of the House Un-American Activities Committee in June 1954. When asked whether she was a Communist, Schuddakopf invoked the Fifth Amendment. The Tacoma School Board, including Haley, held a hearing on the matter and voted not to terminate Schuddakopf. The resulting public uproar led the Pierce County school superintendent to suspend Schuddakopf. She was reinstated two years later by Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Pearl Wanamaker. Papers in the Wanamaker subject series in box 45 document the debate as it appeared before the school board. They include several letters that were sent to Haley by members of the public who expressed their views on the Schuddakopf case and Haley’s newspaper advertisement defending Schuddakopf and the cause of civil liberties.

A longtime advocate of higher education, Haley joined the University of Washington, Tacoma (UWT), Siting Advisory Committee in the mid-1980s. The committee dealt with site selection for the branch campus, listened to the concerns of the public, and articulated the need for a public university in the Tacoma vicinity. The UWT, located in downtown Tacoma, matriculated its first five students in 1991. Haley gave the first commencement address at the larger 1992 ceremony.

Major correspondents among the papers include the University of Washington and Phyllis Erickson.

Frederick Haley chaired this committee, 1982-1985. The Washington State Legislature created the committee in 1982 to study the state’s public school system and to issue recommendations on how it could be improved.

The testimony files record the response of the public to the temporary committee’s recommendations for the improvement of public schools. The report files includes “The Paramount Duty Revisited,” a 1989 report funded by Brown & Haley that examined progress in public education since the demise of the temporary committee in 1985. Major correspondents include Governor John Spellman and William Chance as well as numerous public school directors.

Formed in 1950 to renew trade and friendship between Japan and Washington State, the Washington State International Trade Fair (WSITF) organized trade fairs to promote Washington goods on the international market and sent delegations of Washington business leaders to meet with their counterparts in other countries. Haley was the driving force behind Brown & Haley’s successful expansion on the world market.

Haley served on the WSITF board of trustees, executive committee, and planning committee during the 1970s. He was elected president of the board of trustees in 1973.

Papers and records were collected while Haley was an active participant in WSITF from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. He continued to receive material from the organization into the 1990s. Correspondence consists mostly of intra-organizational material and communications with various Washington businesses.

Henry (Hank) Adams, a Native American activist, was the executive director of the Survival of American Indians Association and editor of the newsletter The Renegade. Adams apparently accumulated these papers and supplied them (or copies of them) to Haley. Major correspondents include Hank Adams, the Survival of American Indians Association, Ramona Bennett, and the Puyallup Tribal Council. The papers document disputes over the fishing rights of the Nisqually and Puyallup tribes. Some papers in the reports and clippings series relate to broader issues concerning Native Americans, the U.S. government, and American society.

The Henry (Hank) Adams series was formed from two earlier accessions (1988-001, 1988-002). Haley was the collector rather than the creator of these papers.

Frederick Haley arranged his personal correspondence by year and by alphabetical grouping. For example, files might read 1967A-G, 1967 H-M, 1967 N-Z, and so forth. This arrangement is preserved in the collection.

The bulk of the personal correspondence dates from 1955 to 1995 and is composed mostly of letters to and from the Haleys’ friends and family members. Major correspondents include Fred Exshaw and the Exshaw family and Georges Sanford.

Correspondence about specific topics or organizations can be found in subject files and in the correspondence files of most organizational series. Researchers desiring to conduct an exhaustive study of Haley’s correspondence -- regarding an issue, organization, or individual -- are advised to consult personal correspondence files from an appropriate time period in addition to the appropriate series.

Haley wrote many of his speeches for the Monday Club, a Seattle-area group of elite men who met to present original papers for discussion.

Untitled speeches and writings files and conference and convention files were assigned names based on the titles of their contents. Most clipping files are untitled, but titles were preserved where they existed. Original subject series file titles have been preserved, although abbreviations were replaced with full names.
