This series includes full speeches, notes, scripts, and other materials related to William Pahlmann's speaking engagements and public appearances. Pahlmann maintained a full schedule of public engagements, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, addressing audiences of professionals, students and women's organizations throughout the United States. He also appeared on numerous radio and television programs to present design issues to a wider audience. Principal topics include the relationship between the architect and interior designer, the development of good taste, interior design as the expression of one's personality and interests, the tension between modern and traditional design, and the place of good taste and personal display in the "affluent society" of the time. Pahlmann also spoke to students in design schools and on the proper display of home furnishings on departments store floors and in show windows.
