Barns","Also known as the First Battle of Cold Harbor or the Battle of the Chicahominy River, the Battle of Gaines' Mill was the third in the 7-Days Battles of the Peninsula Campaign. Taking place on June 27, 1862, in Hanover County, Virginia, Gaines' Mill pitted the troops of General Robert E. Lee against those of Union Brigadier General Fitz John Porter. The battle was a critical juncture in saving the city of Richmond for the Confederacy during the early years of the Civil War.","Born in 1839, William Weldon Bentley was an 1860 graduate of VMI who studied under Thomas J. Jackson. As a VMI cadet, Bentley was present at the execution of John Brown. He joined the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the war and served in the 24th Virginia Infantry Regiment, leading a battalion during Pickett's Charge. Bentley died on July 23, 1924, and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia.","Trained as a wheelwright, Albert M. Hayward enlisted in the Massachusetts 7th Infantry as a private in late August 1862. In this service, Hayward participated in and was wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg, from December 12-15, 1862. He mustered out in June 1864, when the term of service for the company expired.","William McKinnon was a North Carolina resident who enlisted with the North Carolina 26th Infantry as a Private in June 1861. He wrote a brief note to his father, Daniel McKinnon, on June 22, 1862, from Petersburg, Virginia, noting that he and some others were quite ill. McKinnon was later in the battles at Gettysburg in July 1863, where he was wounded and taken prisoner. He was late transferred to Point Lookout, Maryland, where he died in the hospital on December 6, 1863.","A printer by trade, William C. Morgan of Cornville, Maine, enlisted in the Maine 3rd Infantry on October 19, 1861. He was promoted to captain in September 1861 and Major in 1864. The 3rd Maine saw action at Bull Run in 1861 and 1862, as well as later involvements at Fair Oaks and Gettysburg as well as engagements throughout Virginia, including the 1864 Battle at North Anna, where Morgan was killed on May 23, 1864. Amanda (McClure) Morgan was born on June 14, 1835. The widow of Oliver Case and mother of one child, Amanda and William were parents to two children, Frank born in 1860, and Emma in 1862. Amanda passed away May 10, 1908.","Born in 1834 in Pennsylvania, Thomas McCormick Walker served as an officer with the 111th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. Beginning as a Major in 1861, Walker led the regiment at Cedar Mountain and Antietam, where he was wounded. He went on to command at Gettysburg and eventually joined the Sherman's Atlanta campaign, earning his promotion to Colonel and eventually Brigadier General by 1865. The 111th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment was known as a powerful fighting unit throughout the Civil War and was the first to enter both Atlanta and Savannah under General Walker's command.

During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016. He remained in Virginia with his wife until his death at the age of 89 on January 23, 2018.","Processed by Taylor McNeilly and Andrea Kohashi.","Although portions of it are publicly available, this series is still in progress, and it is likely that Subseries 2.3 will expand rapidly with the addition of Walker's extensive writings.","Subseries 2.3 is likely to expand in the future with the addition of Walker's extensive writings on Civil Rights.","Materials in this collection include personal papers and administrative files of Dr. Walker, audio recordings of church services he led primarily at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, photographs and slides taken by Dr. Walker and his family, honors and awards given to Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. Walker's personal library, Dr. Walker's published books, and other memorabilia and ephemera.

Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing. Among these books are first editions and signed copies, many of which are both. Included in these books are several written by the poets represented in the Gresham Correspondence Collection: Enid Starkie's Arthur Rimbaud, Andre Gide, and Baudelaire; John Gassner's The Theater in Our Times and Masters of the Drama; W.H. Auden's The Collected Poetry of W.H. Auden, The Shield of Achilles, Nones, and The Age of Anxiety; Marianne Moore's The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore; Muriel Rukeyser's Selected Poems; and W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's Journey to a War. In addition to the many books donated, the family also donated Gresham's collection of incunabula leaves (see MS-11 Gresham Incunabula Leaves Collection).","Enid Starkie (1897-1970) was born in Ireland and studied in both Ireland and England. She was an author of biographies and taught modern languages at the University of Oxford, University of Exeter, and Hollins College (now Hollins University).","John Gassner (1903-1967) was born in Hungary and lived in New York. He attended Columbia University, receiving his Masters. He taught at Labor Temple School (1925-1927), Columbia University, Hunter College (1928-1945), and Bryn Mawr College (1941-1943). Gassner was a playwright and wrote for several magazines, including the New York Times Book Review.","Wystan Hugh Auden – better known as W.H. Auden – (1907-1973) was from England and emigrated to the United States during WWII (1939). He was a playwright and an author of poetry. Most of his poems were of a political and moral nature. During the Spanish Civil War, Auden spent time in Spain writing. Auden graduated from Oxford in 1928 and married Erika Mann in 1935 to protect her from the Nazi's. Mann stayed behind when Auden emigrated to the United States; the pair never divorced and remained friends. Auden wrote a few plays with Chester Kallman – his lifelong companion. Auden taught poetry at Oxford University from 1956-1961. In 1948, Auden won a Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Anxiety; the Gresham family donated a signed copy.","May Sarton (1912-1995) was a poet and author of novels. She is known for her interest in feminism and sexuality, which transfers to her writing. Sarton was born in Belgium, but in 1914, the family fled to England due to WWI. In 1918, the family emigrated to the United States where Sarton remained. The theater was Sarton's first love; after acting for a small New York theater, she ran her own theater company, but had to take on extra work to keep the theater's finances in the black. She began writing literary reviews specifically about theater, but dabbled in poetry as well. She briefly wrote documentary scripts for the United States Office of War Information. During the 1930s, she taught at Stuart School in Boston and from 1950-1953 she taught composition at Harvard University.","Barbara Guest (1920-2006) was an American poet and playwright. In addition, Guest also wrote art reviews for magazines, such as Art News and Art in America. Guest graduated from the University of California, at Berkeley and lived in New York. Among the awards Guest won during her lifetime, include the Lawrence Lipton Award for Literature (1990) and the Robert Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement from Poetry Society of America (1999).","Marianne Moore (1887-1972) was an American poet known for her diverse writings. Moore grew up in the Midwest and graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1909. She lived in New York with her mother throughout her life. The literary community viewed her as an \"auntie figure\" and a mentor. During her lifetime, Moore won many awards: Levinson Prize from Poetry Magazine (1932), Pulitzer Prize for Collected Poems (1951), and gold medals from Poetry Society of America (1960 \u0026 1967).","Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) was an American poet and political activist. She attended school at Vassar College from 1930-1932, but did not graduate. Upon her departure from Vassar, Rukeyser started the journal Student Review with three other women. In 1933, Rukeyser travelled to Alabama to cover the Scottsboro, Alabama, trial of nine African-American boys who were accused of raping two white females, but Rukeyser was detained during the trial. In 1936, she went to Spain to cover an athletic competition; however, by the time she arrived, the Spanish Civil War had begun and Rukeyser began working for the medical bureau in Spain. Rukeyser was frequently involved with political activism and was an advocate against inhumanity. She taught at Sarah Lawrence College in 1946 and 1956-1967. She spoke several languages, including French, Spanish, Swedish, and Italian and enjoyed translating poems in these languages. Among her many awards are the Oscar Blumethal Prize in poetry (1940), Harriet Monroe Poetry Award (1941), and the Levinson Prize in poetry (1947). \nPaul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947. He was a classmate of William Dew Gresham's. Duke wrote a sports column during his time at the university. Duke is best known for his time on the television program Washington Week in Review where he worked for twenty years. During his time on the show, Duke was inducted into the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame (1992).","Paul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947.

He graduated from University of Chicago. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his book of poems entitled Flowering Stone (1930s).","Gilbert Murray (1866-1957) was an English classicist and translator of Greek literature. He graduated from St. John's College, Oxford and later taught at New College, Oxford where he was the Regius Professor of Greek (1908-1936). Upon his death, his ashes were placed at Westminster Abbey.","Due to deterioration of the newspaper clipping in Series I, File 2, the original clipping was discarded and has been replaced by a photocopied version.","Processed by Kelly Bryan.","This collection contains correspondence between William Gresham and several poets. The majority of the correspondences are replies to Gresham's invitations to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia. Some of the correspondence Gresham saved was not written by him or to him. The collection also houses several programs, pamphlets, and newspaper articles that support Gresham's dedication and love of literature and culture.","Series I, Gresham Correspondence, includes correspondence between William Gresham and several poets. The letters are regarding Gresham's invitations for various poets to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia in Williamsburg, Virginia. May Sarton spoke for the organization on May 14, 1960. Most of her letters are regarding her travel arrangements.","Series II, Pamphlets, Writings, and Newspaper Clippings, contains several personal keepsakes, most notably, a poem written by Gresham, two booklets – one autographed by Pearl S. Buck and the other by Art Buchwald – and a Christmas poem written by May Sarton.","Series III, Other Correspondence, comprises correspondence that did not include Gresham. One letter in particular was a thank you note from the poet George Dillon to Gresham's wife Nancy. The last item in the series is a payment note for a cab in Richmond; however, there does not appear to be any connection to Gresham himself and was written over twenty years before Gresham's birth.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing. Among these books are first editions and signed copies, many of which are both. Included in these books are several written by the poets represented in the Gresham Correspondence Collection: Enid Starkie's Arthur Rimbaud, Andre Gide, and Baudelaire; John Gassner's The Theater in Our Times and Masters of the Drama; W.H. Auden's The Collected Poetry of W.H. Auden, The Shield of Achilles, Nones, and The Age of Anxiety; Marianne Moore's The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore; Muriel Rukeyser's Selected Poems; and W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's Journey to a War. In addition to the many books donated, the family also donated Gresham's collection of incunabula leaves (see MS-11 Gresham Incunabula Leaves Collection).","Enid Starkie (1897-1970) was born in Ireland and studied in both Ireland and England. She was an author of biographies and taught modern languages at the University of Oxford, University of Exeter, and Hollins College (now Hollins University).","John Gassner (1903-1967) was born in Hungary and lived in New York.

Auden – (1907-1973) was from England and emigrated to the United States during WWII (1939). He was a playwright and an author of poetry. Most of his poems were of a political and moral nature. During the Spanish Civil War, Auden spent time in Spain writing. Auden graduated from Oxford in 1928 and married Erika Mann in 1935 to protect her from the Nazi's. Mann stayed behind when Auden emigrated to the United States; the pair never divorced and remained friends. Auden wrote a few plays with Chester Kallman – his lifelong companion. Auden taught poetry at Oxford University from 1956-1961. In 1948, Auden won a Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Anxiety; the Gresham family donated a signed copy.","May Sarton (1912-1995) was a poet and author of novels. She is known for her interest in feminism and sexuality, which transfers to her writing. Sarton was born in Belgium, but in 1914, the family fled to England due to WWI. In 1918, the family emigrated to the United States where Sarton remained. The theater was Sarton's first love; after acting for a small New York theater, she ran her own theater company, but had to take on extra work to keep the theater's finances in the black. She began writing literary reviews specifically about theater, but dabbled in poetry as well. She briefly wrote documentary scripts for the United States Office of War Information. During the 1930s, she taught at Stuart School in Boston and from 1950-1953 she taught composition at Harvard University.","Barbara Guest (1920-2006) was an American poet and playwright.

Moore grew up in the Midwest and graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1909. She lived in New York with her mother throughout her life. The literary community viewed her as an \"auntie figure\" and a mentor. During her lifetime, Moore won many awards: Levinson Prize from Poetry Magazine (1932), Pulitzer Prize for Collected Poems (1951), and gold medals from Poetry Society of America (1960 \u0026 1967).","Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) was an American poet and political activist. She attended school at Vassar College from 1930-1932, but did not graduate. Upon her departure from Vassar, Rukeyser started the journal Student Review with three other women. In 1933, Rukeyser travelled to Alabama to cover the Scottsboro, Alabama, trial of nine African-American boys who were accused of raping two white females, but Rukeyser was detained during the trial. In 1936, she went to Spain to cover an athletic competition; however, by the time she arrived, the Spanish Civil War had begun and Rukeyser began working for the medical bureau in Spain. Rukeyser was frequently involved with political activism and was an advocate against inhumanity. She taught at Sarah Lawrence College in 1946 and 1956-1967. She spoke several languages, including French, Spanish, Swedish, and Italian and enjoyed translating poems in these languages. Among her many awards are the Oscar Blumethal Prize in poetry (1940), Harriet Monroe Poetry Award (1941), and the Levinson Prize in poetry (1947). \nPaul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947.

The majority of the correspondences are replies to Gresham's invitations to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia. Some of the correspondence Gresham saved was not written by him or to him. The collection also houses several programs, pamphlets, and newspaper articles that support Gresham's dedication and love of literature and culture.","Series I, Gresham Correspondence, includes correspondence between William Gresham and several poets. The letters are regarding Gresham's invitations for various poets to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia in Williamsburg, Virginia. May Sarton spoke for the organization on May 14, 1960.

Buck and the other by Art Buchwald – and a Christmas poem written by May Sarton.","Series III, Other Correspondence, comprises correspondence that did not include Gresham. One letter in particular was a thank you note from the poet George Dillon to Gresham's wife Nancy. The last item in the series is a payment note for a cab in Richmond; however, there does not appear to be any connection to Gresham himself and was written over twenty years before Gresham's birth.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

During the Spanish Civil War, Auden spent time in Spain writing. Auden graduated from Oxford in 1928 and married Erika Mann in 1935 to protect her from the Nazi's. Mann stayed behind when Auden emigrated to the United States; the pair never divorced and remained friends. Auden wrote a few plays with Chester Kallman – his lifelong companion. Auden taught poetry at Oxford University from 1956-1961. In 1948, Auden won a Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Anxiety; the Gresham family donated a signed copy.","May Sarton (1912-1995) was a poet and author of novels. She is known for her interest in feminism and sexuality, which transfers to her writing. Sarton was born in Belgium, but in 1914, the family fled to England due to WWI. In 1918, the family emigrated to the United States where Sarton remained. The theater was Sarton's first love; after acting for a small New York theater, she ran her own theater company, but had to take on extra work to keep the theater's finances in the black. She began writing literary reviews specifically about theater, but dabbled in poetry as well. She briefly wrote documentary scripts for the United States Office of War Information. During the 1930s, she taught at Stuart School in Boston and from 1950-1953 she taught composition at Harvard University.","Barbara Guest (1920-2006) was an American poet and playwright.

She attended school at Vassar College from 1930-1932, but did not graduate. Upon her departure from Vassar, Rukeyser started the journal Student Review with three other women. In 1933, Rukeyser travelled to Alabama to cover the Scottsboro, Alabama, trial of nine African-American boys who were accused of raping two white females, but Rukeyser was detained during the trial. In 1936, she went to Spain to cover an athletic competition; however, by the time she arrived, the Spanish Civil War had begun and Rukeyser began working for the medical bureau in Spain.

Dates for undated items have been estimated based on context.","Harleigh Bridges Schultz was born at 515 E. Marshall St, Richmond, Virginia on October 12, 1883. Schultz's paternal grandparents, Augustus Frederick Schultz and Hanna Ernestine von Sauermann, immigrated to Virginia from Prussia with their children when Harleigh Schultz's father, August F. Schultz II, was a small child. A. F. Schultz II married Annie Hoomes Bridges, of Gloucester, Virginia and had five children: Bernard F. Schultz, Harleigh B. Schultz, Mary Maude Schultz (who married Walter McLelland), Annie Louise Schultz (who was called by her middle name), and August Gwynne Schultz.","This collection indicates that Schultz attended Richmond Public Schools and then Richmond College, now the University of Richmond, from which he graduated in 1904. While at the college, he achieved high marks and was an editor on the Collegian student newspaper. After school, Schultz worked as a reporter on the Richmond Evening Journal for one year, according to his niece, Evelyn McLelland Boschen, and then moved to Massachusetts to work as a reporter for the Worcester Telegram.  Shortly after, on March 7, 1906, Schultz married Natalie Salandri, whose father also worked at the newspaper. Harleigh and Natalie's children were Francis A. Schultz (who died of an illness in 1925 at the age of 17), Robert H. Schultz, and Eleanor L. Schultz. A 1921 news clipping in the collection indicated that at that time, the family lived in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and Schultz was principal of the West Tisbury School there. A 1926 letter addressed to Natalie shows that Schultz was also an officer for the Redland District Chamber of Commerce in Homestead, Florida for an undetermined period. In addition, Schultz's niece wrote that he worked as a reporter for the Boston American for 15 years, as a sports editor, motion picture critic, and city editor, though the letters in the collection that were written on Boston American letterhead span only from October 1927 to May 1934.","On November 26, 1930, Schultz informed his sister, Louise, that he and Natalie were separated and planning to divorce. A news clipping in the collection announces Schultz's marriage to \nAlice G. Falvey of Boston on June 30, 1932. Harleigh and Alice Schultz moved to Hollywood in 1934 in the hopes of finding a new job and life there. The first letters they sent from California to the Schultz family indicate that they were happy with the new location and had made friends with film star Mary Pickford. Schultz's first job in California was in the publicity department at R. K. O., but he moved to work for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation in 1935, where he stayed until his retirement in 1956. During that time, Schultz became the Publicity Chairman and served on MGM's board of governors. Harleigh Schultz died on October 22, 1958, and was buried in North Hollywood. Mary Pickford, his friend of 24 years, handled arrangements for his funeral.","The materials in this collection were removed from a three-ring binder labeled Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission. The papers were arranged and put in acid-free folders. Those that were in a fragile condition were placed in mylar sleeves, and several newspaper clippings were photocopied. Where possible, the copies are kept with the original. Two documents, copies of the Collegian, the Richmond College newspaper, were removed to oversized storage.","Processed by Ashley Vavra.","This collection began as a scrapbook of papers related to Harleigh Bridges Schultz. It contains some of his school records, newspaper clippings about his life and death, newspaper articles that he wrote during his career as a newspaper man, letters, and photographs.","File 1, Biography, contains a two-page biography of Harleigh Schultz that was written by his niece, Evelyn M. McLelland Boschen, in 1991. This document provides an overview of Schultz's family history and career.","File 2, Childhood Education, begins in 1891, when Harleigh Schultz was in third grade. It includes several certificates of merit from Richmond Public Schools, report cards from Richmond High School, and two copies of the program for the Richmond High School Commencement Ceremony on June 13, 1901, in which Schultz gave an oration entitled \"Dignity of Labor.\" Also included are two maps of Europe that he apparently drew from memory. The series ends with a photocopy of an article about the commencement ceremony in the Richmond Dispatch.","File 3, Richmond College, contains a report card from Richmond College, which was stuck onto a page from the Fifth Annual Studio Club News, which Schultz edited at MGM. The report includes a note: \"Note on final Examination paper- Your son has been one of our very best students, and has made an admirable record, signed Prof. F. W. Boatwright.\" Other reports follow, as well as an empty envelope addressed to Harleigh Schultz's father, on which is noted \"Letter of praise from Boatwright […]\". Two documents have been removed to oversized storage: copies of the Collegian, the Richmond College student newspaper, which Schultz edited, with handwritten notes. Photocopies of the first and last pages, those with Schultz's notes, have been made and included with the collection. This is followed by news clippings regarding the 1904 commencement, a newspaper photo of the class of 1903-04, and a 1937 news clipping about the college.","Files 4 and 5, Correspondence, contain two folders of correspondence. Most of these letters were written by Harleigh Schultz, his first wife Natalie, or his second wife Alice, to Harleigh's sisters Louise and Maude or other relatives. The letters are mostly type-written on company letterhead from the Boston American or the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation.  For the most part, these letters consist of kind words for Schultz's relatives, as well as news about the family.","Files 4 and 5, Correspondence, contain two folders of correspondence.

It begins with a photocopy of a photograph of August F. Schultz and Hanna Ernestine von Sauermann, Harleigh's paternal grandparents. Several pages of photocopies of photographs follow, including pictures of Harleigh's parents, Harleigh's sons, and other relatives. Notes to identify the people in the images were written by a relative. This series also includes a photocopy of Harleigh Schultz's Delayed Certificate of Birth, issued in 1942 and witnessed by his sister Maude Schultz McLelland. A marriage notice and obituaries for Harleigh's parents are included, as are notices of Harleigh's marriages and death. A hand-drawn coat of arms labeled with the name Schultz is also included in this series.","File 7, Work, includes clippings of newspaper articles written by Harleigh Schultz, along with two of his business cards from his time with the Boston American.","File 8, Other News, begins with an article from 1926 regarding a hurricane that hit Miami, Florida. A handwritten note in the margins says \"Uncle Harleigh there at this time.\" The second item is a collage of clippings from the Gloucester-Mathews Gazette-Journal from July 1942, regarding local sailors lost at sea. Harleigh Schultz, whose mother's family was from Gloucester, contributed a memorial poem to the journal. The last item in this series is an article called \"The Soul Diary of Florence Nightingale Revealed by Author,\" which discusses Nightingale's reasons for deciding not to marry.","File 9, Photographs, includes several photos of Harleigh Schultz at various ages, his second wife, Alice, and himself with his son, Robert. Several photos appear to have been taken at MGM Studios, including one of Harleigh Schultz standing with Mr. Mayer and one of MGM's Board of Governors. Several of the photos are of famous people, particularly movie stars. Included in this series are signed photos of Cecil B. DeMille, Clark Gable, Van Johnson (addressed to Maude McLelland), Jean Harlow (addressed to Louise Schultz), Walter Pidgeon, and an unsigned photo of Esther Williams. The series concludes with a photo of the fountain near Harleigh's grave and a 1961 newspaper clipping with a picture of Mary Pickford after she received an honorary degree from Middlebury College.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

Paris and Raphael D. Paris. Throughout her life she worked in education in various forms from elementary to collegiate level. She earned a B.A. (1915) and M.A. in Education from Wellesley College. She taught in New England, Virginia, and Illinois. Hazel is most famously known from authoring Bunny Polka Dot and The Little Red Wagon. She was also an assistant professor of English at Westhampton College in the 1920s.","Her interest in writing first began when her son was a young boy and she discovered she was having a hard time locating interesting educational material for him to read. At the time she was friends with an established author who agreed she had a talent for writing and encouraged her to pursue it. When she first started out she struggled getting her stories published. One of her rejections was from McLoughlin Bros. Inc. in 1940, in which they stated they already had too many animal stories for this year and maybe she should submit her material in the following year. In 1942 she was rejected by Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife because her material was too similar to what they were already publishing. This process would repeat itself all the way into 1949 when she was rejected by Grosset and Dunlap. During this time, she was careful to take notes and learn from her mistakes. She did publish a few stories during this time to The American Home for example, however she was still learning the times that were best to submit. Many times she was simply rejected because she submitted her material at the wrong time of year for the publications. Eventually, she came to understand the publication process and was publishing multiple stories a year. Early on in the process she did get an article published in Writer's Monthly in 1941 entitled, \"What the Editor Wants.\" This article discussed her process when planning to submit an article for publication and what an editor expects to see.","Throughout her life, she wrote numerous articles, informal essays, short stories, articles on family life, and articles for both adults and children. When developing a story, Hazel didn't like to waste paper, so she would use scrap material from her education position to plan out the story before typing. She was a large advocate for immersing children in day to day activities. In Christian Home in 1940 she discussed bringing children into the kitchen and allowing them to participate in meal preparation. She stressed the importance of patience in the parent and allowing the child to learn and use their creativity to solve the problem in front of them. In her later articles she focused on how parents can better understand their teenage children.","After working in higher education, she realized she missed working with young children and took a job in elementary education in District 109 in Deerfield, Illinois. She retired in 1962 but kept working on stories for different organizations well into 1974, such as a biography for Joseph Laurent. She passed away in Feb. 1975 in Highland Park, Illinois.","These materials are from the estate of Debbie Marchand, granddaughter of Hazel Paris Cederborg. They were acquired at auction by Wellesley College, and later this portion was transferred to the University of Richmond in 2016. Materials about Wellesley College were retained by their archives.","Collection contains documents, published short stories, photographs, notecards, magnifying glass, letter opener, French apron, scrapbooks.","Processed by Maelyn Cable.","Wellesley College featured material from their collection of Hazel Paris Cederborg materials in their 2016 spring newsletter.","The collection is divided into 2 series, and 7 subseries.","Series I, Short Stories, contains stories written by Hazel Paris Cederborg for young children focusing around life lessons.","Subseries IA, Unpublished Drafts and Notes, includes stories that were in the planning process or ideas that had yet to be put in some order. These particular stories have topics focusing around family life and many use animals to teach life lessons.

One of her rejections was from McLoughlin Bros. Inc. in 1940, in which they stated they already had too many animal stories for this year and maybe she should submit her material in the following year. In 1942 she was rejected by Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife because her material was too similar to what they were already publishing.

She did publish a few stories during this time to The American Home for example, however she was still learning the times that were best to submit. Many times she was simply rejected because she submitted her material at the wrong time of year for the publications.

He was born on May 30, 1941, in Columbus, Georgia where he also grew up. Rachels received a bachelor's degree from Mercer University in 1962 and a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1967.","After receiving his Ph.D., Rachels taught at the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia from 1966 until 1968. He subsequently taught at New York University (1968-1972), the University of Miami (1972-1977), and Duke University (1975) before coming to the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he taught from 1977 until his death in 2003. At the University of Alabama, Rachels served as the Chair of the Department of Philosophy from 1977-1979, Dean of the School of Humanities from 1978-1983, and acting Academic Vice President in 1983.","In 1971, he edited his first book, Moral Problems: A Collection of Philosophical Essays, which had great success as a college philosophy textbook. He wrote a second textbook, The Elements of Moral Philosophy, in 1986. In its sixth edition (2010), The Elements of Moral Philosophy continues to be widely used as a college philosophy textbook.","Rachels' highly influential article, \"Active and Passive Euthanasia,\" was published in 1975 in the New England Journal of Medicine.  This work solidified his role as an important medical ethicist in the debate concerning euthanasia. His second book, The End of Life: Euthanasia and Morality, was published in 1986. It was widely reviewed and debated in both popular newspapers and scholarly journals. Rachels' third book, Created From Animals: The Moral Implications of Darwinism, on animal rights (particularly concerning the use of animals in experiments) was published in 1990 with similar widespread recognition.","Just before his death, Rachels held the National Endowment for the Humanities' Distinguished Visiting Professorship from 2001-2002 at the University of Richmond.","Rachels died September 5, 2003 in Birmingham, Alabama.","File description titles reflect their original labels.

It includes correspondence, manuscripts, and collected reviews of his most notable books.","Series 1: Correspondence contains material from 1971 to 1997. It consists largely of correspondence from other scholars to Rachels regarding manuscripts and mutual research subjects such as euthanasia and animal rights. There is a significant amount of correspondence from numerous scholars regarding Rachels' 1975 article \"Active and Passive Euthanasia.\" A large amount of correspondence from book and journal editors regarding the publishing of Rachels' work is also present. A smaller amount of correspondence exists regarding translations of his works. This series also contains manuscripts sent to Rachels for review from other scholars.","Series 2: Manuscripts contains material from 1962 to 2002, although a large amount is undated. Manuscripts include scholarly articles, book chapters, school papers, book reviews by Rachels, and unpublished works on a variety of subjects.
