This year, Indiana University marks one-hundred years of graduate training in folklore studies. In 1926, six graduate students completed their MA theses under the supervision of renowned IU Distinguished Professor of English and Folklore, Stith Thompson (1885-1976). Their topics included Indiana ballads, African folktales, French Canadians tales and Native American myths. Thompson’s expanded English translation of Antti Aarne’s The Types of the Folktale, first published in 1928, and his momentous Motif-Index of Folk Literature, first published in six volumes in the 1930s and revised by Thompson in the 1950s, continue to be used by folklorists around the world.
