Royce Stanley Pitkin Ph.D. was born on 7 June 1901 in Marshfield, Vermont. He died on 3 May 1986 at the age of 84 in Burlington, Vermont. The following narrative was extracted from an interview with Royce by Linda Goldberg, and appears in her book "Here on this Hill."

I was not named, as some people thought, for Josiah Royce, but for a boy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. My family lived in South Dakota for about seven years. One of my brothers had a playmate whose first name was Royce. I was not born there, but, when they were casting around for names some years later, they dredged up Royce. If you go back to the persons who are my age with whom I grew up in Marshfield, about half of them call me Royce. In recent years, persons who've known me most closely have called me Tim.
I can remember the incident that led to it. I must have been about five years old. I remember my mother singing the song "Timothy Tucker Sings for His Supper." She went to calling me Timothy Tucker. I thought I'd hurt my mothers feelings by saying I didn't like it. I said to her later, "Well, you can call me Timothy Tucker if you want to."
At the same time other members of my family called me "Bug," which apparently went back to the time when I crawled around as a very small child. That name stuck, I must say, for years. When I graduated from Marshfield High School in 1916, some of my classmates were still calling me "Bug." Some of them would now, I guess, if they saw me.
I stayed out of school for two years after I graduated from Marshfield and worked on the farm, as all my brothers had done before me. Except they worked longer. It was common when my oldest brother was around for boys to stay until they were twenty-one. They were a distinct economic asset. I stayed until I was seventeen and then went to Goddard Seminary.
It was just assumed in my family that if you were going away to school, you'd go to Goddard. My own family had been associated with Goddard from the very beginning. My great-grandmother was involved in getting it going. My grandfather was on the Board of Trustees. My father went there; my aunts went there; all of my brothers went there. Keep in mind that the seminary was not a training school for the ministry, but simply a secondary school. They were generally referred to as preparatory schools. Goddard Seminary was started as a preparatory school for Tufts College. Tufts was a Universalist College. My father's family was Universalist.
Although I graduated from the College of Agriculture at the University of Vermont, I did a good bit of work in education. I suppose this was family influence. My oldest brother had quite an influence on me educationally - in other ways, too, for that matter. He tended to be looking forward and finding new ways of doing things. I went to teaching my first year out of college in Plymouth, New Hampshire. I worked like the dickens that year. I taught physics - I had never had a college course in physics - chemistry, biology, and this course in American Social Problems, it was called.
I remember talking with the registrar at the University of Vermont about my students that might come to the University. I said they'd had this course in Social Problems. He said, "I'll tell you something. Don't call it 'Social Problems.' Just call it 'Civics.' " I said, "Why?" 'Social Problems' didn't have respectability and wasn't hoary with age, but 'Civics' was. I thought that was good advice; I've thought it lots of times since. It's the name that's important, not the content, if you want something accepted in certain places.
I learned a tremendous amount from my first year of teaching. I had a very conservative principal, but a very effective one. But I knew that I wanted to do something else. In one's earlier years you tend to move by ambition. I tried to go on and be a principal myself.
Helen and I got married at the end of our first year out of college. We took a job up in Hyde Park, Vermont. She was going to teach English, and I was principal and teaching science. We were much interested in helping kids get along more succesfully. We discovered that our usual conventional methods didn't work so well. We began to cast around for ways of improving.
We were in Hyde Park for two years, and we liked the town. But I got ambitious and thought I ought to have a bigger school. An opening came up in this bigger school in Groveton, New Hampshire. It was a mill town. There's a different ethos in a mill town. The churches were not churches I was familiar with. I felt like kind of a foreigner.
In the winter of 1926 I had the measles, of all things. And was I sick?! I was practically out of my mind. It took me a long time to recover. I decided to quit the school business. I had no job, but we weren't worried. We had this farm up here, the Levi Pitkin Farm. Helen and I set out raspberries and blackberries that year. But as I got to feel better, I decided to go back into school work. I took a job in Wallingford, Vermont. I was there four years.
Then the Depression broke. I decided I'd better get a doctorate if I was going to get one. We went down to Columbia University in New York. I had to borrow money, but we weren't worried about a living. We always figured, "If worse comes to worse, we can get back here on the good old farm." Having the land to fall back on gives you a sense of security. It makes a tremendous difference in the outlook of a person.
My educational experience was in public schools, until I went to Goddard in the fall of 1935 to start a junior college for women. This came about in a curious way. I finished up the work for my doctorate in educational administration in 1932. I was much impressed by William Kilpatrick's and John Dewey's approach to education. I had intended to be a superintendent of schools. I landed up in New London, New Hampshire, where I saw at first hand the junior college idea.
In February 1935, I decided I'd leave New London because they elected a chap to the school board that was very conservative educationally. I thought, "I wonder if they ever thought of having a junior college at Goddard." A study had recommended that they develop one, but they'd done nothing about it. Goddard had fallen on hard times, as many other private schools had.
At the end of my first year there, the principal decided to get married. I was made the head of the school. I taught, as well as being director. I left the science field and went to teaching social sciences. The second year I was there, we called it Goddard Seminary and Junior College.
Having been in this area, I knew about the Greatwood Farm in Plainfield. It happened that a few years before this period we're talking about, which is now 1938, the owner had died. His wife tried to run the farm and couldn't make ends meet. She decided to sell it. We bought it on a complete mortgage of $40,000.
