He\n spent his later formative years (1883-1889) as a student in\n Munich, Germany attending the \n Hochschule der Musikand the Royal\n Academy from which he graduated with unprecedented honors\n after studying under such notables in music theory and\n composition as Joseph Rheinberger and Ludwig Thuille. Upon\n returning to Illinois, Fickénscher taught piano\n privately to students and gave formal concert performances\n around the Chicago area. His reputation as an accomplished\n pianist and accompanist led to his participation in concert\n tours throughout the United States and Mexico with many of the\n distinguished singers of the day such as the great Wagnerian\n tenor, Anton Shott; Nikita, soprano of the Russian opera;\n Materna; David Bispham and Madame Shumann-Heink.

He\n spent his later formative years (1883-1889) as a student in\n Munich, Germany attending the \n Hochschule der Musikand the Royal\n Academy from which he graduated with unprecedented honors\n after studying under such notables in music theory and\n composition as Joseph Rheinberger and Ludwig Thuille. Upon\n returning to Illinois, Fickénscher taught piano\n privately to students and gave formal concert performances\n around the Chicago area. His reputation as an accomplished\n pianist and accompanist led to his participation in concert\n tours throughout the United States and Mexico with many of the\n distinguished singers of the day such as the great Wagnerian\n tenor, Anton Shott; Nikita, soprano of the Russian opera;\n Materna; David Bispham and Madame Shumann-Heink. These tours\n enhanced his reputation and allowed his piano mastery and\n musical artistry wide recognition.","In 1896, Fickénscher settled in San Francisco\n where he taught and coached young singers and studied the\n potentialities of the human voice. He also began to immerse\n himself in the composition of original music, being\n particularly drawn by the influence of the English poets of\n the Renaissance, Dante Rossetti and William Morris. In 1901,\n he married \n Edith Cruzan, an opera and concert singer\n whose theatrical and musical talents matched his own as they\n became an acclaimed recital team throughout the west coast.\n While living in San Francisco, the Fickénschers\n experienced the great earthquake of 1906. In the fire that\n devastated the city, they lost their home and many of their\n possessions including papers, press clippings, memorabilia and\n compositional manuscripts relating to their concert activities\n and Fickénscher's early music works.","In 1911, Fickénscher returned to Germany with\n his wife and young daughter, \n Arditha. He\n established a studio in Berlin providing vocal instruction to\n students and undertook a series of joint recitals with his\n wife that introduced them to admiring European audiences. In\n that period, his choral-orchestral poem, \n The Chamber Blueand the orchestral-choral symphonic poem, \n Aucassin and Nicoletewere performed to positive reviews in concert\n presentations. Fickénscher also continued to pursue\n his idea of perfecting a keyboard for pure intonation and was\n granted a patent for its design in Germany in 1912.","At the outbreak of World War I, the Fickénschers\n returned to California. They opened a studio in both Oakland\n and in San Francisco to instruct and train singers, resumed\n their joint recital programs and lectures and soon became a\n couple in great demand in the music circles in the area and\n beyond. That demand induced them in 1917 to move to New York\n City, to again teach students and to present themselves in\n recital and concert programs to metropolitan music lovers.","A major change in Fickénscher's career style\n took place three years later. In 1920 he accepted an\n invitation from Edwin A. Alderman, then president of the \n University of Virginiain Charlottesville,\n to serve as head of the newly established music department.\n Over the next 14 years he devoted himself in quiet dignity,\n but tireless energy to the challenge of organizing, developing\n and directing the administration of the department. He taught\n students; gave leadership to the \n University Glee Cluband presented major\n concerts in Washington, Baltimore, New Orleans, Richmond and\n numerous other cities and towns throughout Virginia. He\n established the \n Albemarle Choral Club; conducted the\n University of Virginia and the \n Norfolk Symphonyorchestras; participated\n in ensemble recitals, every 2 weeks over a period of 11 years\n and, in 1938, conducted a fully staged mimo-drama of his work,\n The Chamber Blueat the University. He performed organ recitals in the\n University's McIntire Amphitheater; provided piano\n accompaniment to students in vocal programs and instituted the\n McIntire Concertsprogram which featured\n such renowned artists as, Barrère, Alda, Novaes,\n Homer, Casals, Ponselle, Martinelli and Zimbalist. With all\n this, he still found time to arrange the settings of numerous\n college football songs; to serve as the regular organist at \n Christ Episcopal Churchin Charlottesville\n and to continue work on his music compositions and on the\n development and construction of the \"Polytone,\" his idea of a\n workable intonation keyboard which he designed to subdivide\n the octave into 60 tones.","In 1941, Fickénscher retired from the University\n of Virginia and returned to Fairfax in Marin County in\n California. There he worked to complete his major unfinished\n orchestral-choral symphonic poem, \n The Land East of the Sunand to publish an article on the Polytone which he\n had patented in February 1941. The article, \"The Polytone and\n the Potentialities of a Purer Intonation,\" appeared in \n The Music Quarterly(July, 1941). In May, 1946, he participated in\n concert at Florida State Teacher's College, conducting \n The Chamber Bluewith the Australian-American composer, Percy Grainger\n at the piano and, as pianist, joining a string quartet to play\n the \n Piano Quintet.","In 1947, the Fickénschers relocated to the city\n of San Francisco to spend their remaining years near their\n daughter. Edith Fickénscher died on January 9, 1950\n and Arthur Fickénscher on April, 15, 1954. Some\n years later, in 1983, their ashes were spread over the grounds\n of the University of Virginia cemetery near the grave of their\n close friends, James Southall Wilson and his wife Julia by two\n devoted former students and lifelong friends and associates,\n Robert Septimus Pace, Jr. and William W. Jones.","As a composer, Arthur Fickénscher was influenced\n by Bach, Wagner and César Franck. His work\n reflected contemporary trends and was cast in a \"sensuous\n mysticism\" that intrigued many of his musical colleagues,\n particularly Percy Grainger (1882-1961) who considered\n Fickénscher to be one of the few musical geniuses\n of the 20th century.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n for the Humanities","The Papers of Arthur Fickénscher contain ca.\n 2,000 items (11 shelf feet) that span the years 1895-1995.

It was organized in the fall of\n 1935 by \n Daisy V. Green, a registered nurse of\n Petersburg, Virginia and former employee of the\n Charlottesville City Health Department; it was supported by\n the \n Works Project Administration of the Education\n Department. The Nursery was originally located in a\n building owned by Courtney D. Goodloe at 126 4th Street, N. W.\n This small facility served as the Nursery's home until August\n 1940 when it closed upon Mrs. Greene's departure. During these\n early years, many friends made donations, and the children\n were admitted free of charge.","In January 1941 the Nursery re-opened under the same name\n and still under the support of the Works Project\n Administration. A December 23, 1942 letter from Mrs. \n Frances Cromwell, \n State Supervisor of the Child Protection\n Program, stated that by order of the President of\n the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, all W. P. A.\n projects would be liquidated as of January 16, 1943. On\n December 31, 1942, \n Douglas Edwardsand \n Otelia L. Jackson, members of the\n Nursery, along with members of the \n Belmont Day Nursery, met with the \n Charlottesville City School Board. Board\n members of both nurseries were in favor of continuing the\n Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery and closing the Belmont Day\n Nursery. Following this meeting, during which the School Board\n informed the Nursery that it was not its sponsor, an appeal\n was made directly to the State. This advisory committee\n succeeded in getting the Department of Public Welfare to\n sponsor the program. This could be done under the provisions\n of the State Child Care Committee appointed the previous fall,\n if the program was classified as \"day nursery\" rather than\n \"nursery school.\" On January 13, 1943, the Nursery was given\n permission to continue. Responses from volunteers and local\n organizations were good. The \n Child Welfare Associationpaid salaries of\n teachers following the first month when teachers had given\n their service free. Rent had also been donated that first\n month. The Nursery continued operation through 1943 without\n interruption under the supervision of a group of\n Charlottesville citizens with funds raised entirely in \n Charlottesville. In becoming a day\n nursery, it had extended its services by taking care of\n children for ten hours rather than only from nine to three; it\n also took the five-to-six-year-olds who had been excluded\n under the former plan. The Nursery struggled to maintain its\n existence until the organization of the \n Community Chestand its acceptance of the\n Nursery as one of its agencies.","There was a regular tuition charge of one dollar a week per\n child. A plan was worked out whereby the mother and the\n employer were asked to share this tuition as each benefitted\n from the care of the child. Response from employers was\n chiefly favorable. A few mothers paid the entire tuition\n themselves. A few others were unable to pay any because of\n financial obligations. For such cases, there was a scholarship\n committee which investigated the case; and, on the basis of\n their recommendation, whole or partial scholarships were\n granted.","In addition to tuition fees, the Board of the Nursery\n sought other sources of income. It was granted an\n appropriation of seventy-five dollars per month by the City\n Council, which was given as an increased appropriation to the \n Department of Public Welfare, the\n official sponsor of the Nursery. The local Child Welfare\n Association was the next largest contributor with $700 per\n year. There were also individual and group contributions.","Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the Nursery inhabited\n several locations until moving to its present location of 410\n Ridge Street in the late 1950s. During its first few years,\n the Nursery lacked the requirements to meet the needs of the\n community, such as not having an outdoor play area or the\n services of a trained director. From July 1950 until July\n 1951, the Nursery secured the services of Miss \n Velma Branch, a graduate of Hampton\n Institute and College with a year's experience in the Nursery\n School at Hampton Institute. The board members and staff\n gained valuable information on the needs and management of a\n nursery school from Miss Branch, and used this knowledge to\n the Nursery's best advantage. Immediately prior to Miss\n Branch's resignation there had been a reduction of the budget\n by the Community Chest.","During the 1960s, the Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery\n moved from the sponsorship of the Community Chest to the\n sponsorship of the \n United Givers Fund. It continued to grow\n under their sponsorship. In the 1960s, the Nursery provided a\n unique service to \n Charlottesvilleand \n Albemarle Countyas the only day-care\n center for children in the community. It provided day care for\n children of low-income families thereby enabling parents to\n hold full-time jobs, thus increasing the family's income and\n keeping it off welfare. The community also benefitted from the\n productivity of these families and the availability of\n additional workers for its businesses, industries, and\n personal services.","Present day management of the Nursery by a Board of\n Directors came into existence during this time. The Board of\n Directors consists of citizens from all areas of the community\n with an interest in pre-school children and who demonstrate\n leadership qualities. The Board determines the policies of the\n Nursery and supervises its finances. The Nursery program is\n based upon standards established by the \n Virginia Department of Welfare and\n Institutionsfor day-care centers.","During the 1960s, about 70% of the Nursery's operating\n expenses were provided through the \n United Givers Fund. Most of the other 30%\n came from tuition fees paid by parents. There were also\n surplus food items and gifts of services from a local business\n and physician. Tuition was paid by the parents of all children\n in the Nursery. Fees charged were based on the income of the\n family and the number of independent children with a minimum\n of $2.50 and a maximum of $8.50 per child per week. A small\n scholarship fund was available to assist families of children\n who may have become financially distressed through loss of\n job, loss of a parent, or extended illness.","The building located at 410 Ridge Street in which the\n Barrett Day Care Center operates was owned and operated by the\n United Givers Fund throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The\n building was deeded to the \n Barrett Day Care Center, Inc.in 1977 by\n the United Givers Fund, now the \n United Way, with the stipulation that it\n be used as a day care center. As of 1989, the Day Care Center\n operated solely on donations and tuition fees and was the only\n non-profit day care center in \n Charlottesvillethat did not have an\n underwriting sponsor to help pay for such expenses as utility\n or maintenance costs. Donations were not as strong as they\n needed to be; and, although United Way assisted ten children\n at the center with scholarships, there was still a waiting\n list for children whose families needed financial assistance\n for tuition. Working with the Board of Directors of the Day\n Care Center and a representative of the \n Monticello Area Community Action Agency,\n the center's director, \n Cynthia Stratton, helped to set up a\n committee of individuals to raise the money necessary for the\n most pressing needs at the center and to continue the\n operation of the Barrett Day Care Center. Within two months,\n donations from Charlottesville-area businesses and individuals\n helped push a state-mandated project through at the center.\n They also boosted revenue for refurbishing the\n seventy-two-year-old building at 410 Ridge Street.","The Nursery is licensed by the \n Department of Public Welfare(formerly the\n Department of Welfare and Institutions)\n of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This license certifies that\n the Nursery meets health and safety regulations, has adequate\n space and equipment, has sufficient staff, and conducts a\n program that is beneficial to the age children admitted to the\n Nursery. In the past, the Nursery was a participating agency\n of the \n United Givers Fund of Charlottesville and Albemarle,\n Inc.It was also a member of the \n National Committee for the Day Care of Children,\n Inc., a non-profit agency which promoted adequate\n day-care centers and good standards for centers and which\n disseminated information in this field.","A digital exhibition drawn from these papers is \n available online.","[correspondence with board members and employees;\n donations of money, food, and supplies; budget;\n liquidation of the \n Child Protection Program of the Works\n Project Administration(23 Dec 1942); \n R.

It was organized in the fall of\n 1935 by \n Daisy V. Green, a registered nurse of\n Petersburg, Virginia and former employee of the\n Charlottesville City Health Department; it was supported by\n the \n Works Project Administration of the Education\n Department. The Nursery was originally located in a\n building owned by Courtney D. Goodloe at 126 4th Street, N. W.\n This small facility served as the Nursery's home until August\n 1940 when it closed upon Mrs. Greene's departure. During these\n early years, many friends made donations, and the children\n were admitted free of charge.","In January 1941 the Nursery re-opened under the same name\n and still under the support of the Works Project\n Administration. A December 23, 1942 letter from Mrs. \n Frances Cromwell, \n State Supervisor of the Child Protection\n Program, stated that by order of the President of\n the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, all W. P. A.\n projects would be liquidated as of January 16, 1943. On\n December 31, 1942, \n Douglas Edwardsand \n Otelia L. Jackson, members of the\n Nursery, along with members of the \n Belmont Day Nursery, met with the \n Charlottesville City School Board. Board\n members of both nurseries were in favor of continuing the\n Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery and closing the Belmont Day\n Nursery. Following this meeting, during which the School Board\n informed the Nursery that it was not its sponsor, an appeal\n was made directly to the State. This advisory committee\n succeeded in getting the Department of Public Welfare to\n sponsor the program. This could be done under the provisions\n of the State Child Care Committee appointed the previous fall,\n if the program was classified as \"day nursery\" rather than\n \"nursery school.\" On January 13, 1943, the Nursery was given\n permission to continue. Responses from volunteers and local\n organizations were good. The \n Child Welfare Associationpaid salaries of\n teachers following the first month when teachers had given\n their service free. Rent had also been donated that first\n month. The Nursery continued operation through 1943 without\n interruption under the supervision of a group of\n Charlottesville citizens with funds raised entirely in \n Charlottesville. In becoming a day\n nursery, it had extended its services by taking care of\n children for ten hours rather than only from nine to three; it\n also took the five-to-six-year-olds who had been excluded\n under the former plan. The Nursery struggled to maintain its\n existence until the organization of the \n Community Chestand its acceptance of the\n Nursery as one of its agencies.","There was a regular tuition charge of one dollar a week per\n child. A plan was worked out whereby the mother and the\n employer were asked to share this tuition as each benefitted\n from the care of the child. Response from employers was\n chiefly favorable. A few mothers paid the entire tuition\n themselves. A few others were unable to pay any because of\n financial obligations. For such cases, there was a scholarship\n committee which investigated the case; and, on the basis of\n their recommendation, whole or partial scholarships were\n granted.","In addition to tuition fees, the Board of the Nursery\n sought other sources of income. It was granted an\n appropriation of seventy-five dollars per month by the City\n Council, which was given as an increased appropriation to the \n Department of Public Welfare, the\n official sponsor of the Nursery. The local Child Welfare\n Association was the next largest contributor with $700 per\n year. There were also individual and group contributions.","Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the Nursery inhabited\n several locations until moving to its present location of 410\n Ridge Street in the late 1950s. During its first few years,\n the Nursery lacked the requirements to meet the needs of the\n community, such as not having an outdoor play area or the\n services of a trained director. From July 1950 until July\n 1951, the Nursery secured the services of Miss \n Velma Branch, a graduate of Hampton\n Institute and College with a year's experience in the Nursery\n School at Hampton Institute. The board members and staff\n gained valuable information on the needs and management of a\n nursery school from Miss Branch, and used this knowledge to\n the Nursery's best advantage. Immediately prior to Miss\n Branch's resignation there had been a reduction of the budget\n by the Community Chest.","During the 1960s, the Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery\n moved from the sponsorship of the Community Chest to the\n sponsorship of the \n United Givers Fund. It continued to grow\n under their sponsorship. In the 1960s, the Nursery provided a\n unique service to \n Charlottesvilleand \n Albemarle Countyas the only day-care\n center for children in the community. It provided day care for\n children of low-income families thereby enabling parents to\n hold full-time jobs, thus increasing the family's income and\n keeping it off welfare. The community also benefitted from the\n productivity of these families and the availability of\n additional workers for its businesses, industries, and\n personal services.","Present day management of the Nursery by a Board of\n Directors came into existence during this time. The Board of\n Directors consists of citizens from all areas of the community\n with an interest in pre-school children and who demonstrate\n leadership qualities. The Board determines the policies of the\n Nursery and supervises its finances. The Nursery program is\n based upon standards established by the \n Virginia Department of Welfare and\n Institutionsfor day-care centers.","During the 1960s, about 70% of the Nursery's operating\n expenses were provided through the \n United Givers Fund. Most of the other 30%\n came from tuition fees paid by parents. There were also\n surplus food items and gifts of services from a local business\n and physician. Tuition was paid by the parents of all children\n in the Nursery. Fees charged were based on the income of the\n family and the number of independent children with a minimum\n of $2.50 and a maximum of $8.50 per child per week. A small\n scholarship fund was available to assist families of children\n who may have become financially distressed through loss of\n job, loss of a parent, or extended illness.","The building located at 410 Ridge Street in which the\n Barrett Day Care Center operates was owned and operated by the\n United Givers Fund throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The\n building was deeded to the \n Barrett Day Care Center, Inc.in 1977 by\n the United Givers Fund, now the \n United Way, with the stipulation that it\n be used as a day care center. As of 1989, the Day Care Center\n operated solely on donations and tuition fees and was the only\n non-profit day care center in \n Charlottesvillethat did not have an\n underwriting sponsor to help pay for such expenses as utility\n or maintenance costs. Donations were not as strong as they\n needed to be; and, although United Way assisted ten children\n at the center with scholarships, there was still a waiting\n list for children whose families needed financial assistance\n for tuition. Working with the Board of Directors of the Day\n Care Center and a representative of the \n Monticello Area Community Action Agency,\n the center's director, \n Cynthia Stratton, helped to set up a\n committee of individuals to raise the money necessary for the\n most pressing needs at the center and to continue the\n operation of the Barrett Day Care Center. Within two months,\n donations from Charlottesville-area businesses and individuals\n helped push a state-mandated project through at the center.\n They also boosted revenue for refurbishing the\n seventy-two-year-old building at 410 Ridge Street.","The Nursery is licensed by the \n Department of Public Welfare(formerly the\n Department of Welfare and Institutions)\n of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This license certifies that\n the Nursery meets health and safety regulations, has adequate\n space and equipment, has sufficient staff, and conducts a\n program that is beneficial to the age children admitted to the\n Nursery. In the past, the Nursery was a participating agency\n of the \n United Givers Fund of Charlottesville and Albemarle,\n Inc.It was also a member of the \n National Committee for the Day Care of Children,\n Inc., a non-profit agency which promoted adequate\n day-care centers and good standards for centers and which\n disseminated information in this field.","A digital exhibition drawn from these papers is \n available online.","[correspondence with board members and employees;\n donations of money, food, and supplies; budget;\n liquidation of the \n Child Protection Program of the Works\n Project Administration(23 Dec 1942); \n R.

It was organized in the fall of\n 1935 by \n Daisy V. Green, a registered nurse of\n Petersburg, Virginia and former employee of the\n Charlottesville City Health Department; it was supported by\n the \n Works Project Administration of the Education\n Department. The Nursery was originally located in a\n building owned by Courtney D. Goodloe at 126 4th Street, N. W.\n This small facility served as the Nursery's home until August\n 1940 when it closed upon Mrs. Greene's departure. During these\n early years, many friends made donations, and the children\n were admitted free of charge.","In January 1941 the Nursery re-opened under the same name\n and still under the support of the Works Project\n Administration. A December 23, 1942 letter from Mrs. \n Frances Cromwell, \n State Supervisor of the Child Protection\n Program, stated that by order of the President of\n the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, all W. P. A.\n projects would be liquidated as of January 16, 1943. On\n December 31, 1942, \n Douglas Edwardsand \n Otelia L. Jackson, members of the\n Nursery, along with members of the \n Belmont Day Nursery, met with the \n Charlottesville City School Board. Board\n members of both nurseries were in favor of continuing the\n Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery and closing the Belmont Day\n Nursery. Following this meeting, during which the School Board\n informed the Nursery that it was not its sponsor, an appeal\n was made directly to the State. This advisory committee\n succeeded in getting the Department of Public Welfare to\n sponsor the program. This could be done under the provisions\n of the State Child Care Committee appointed the previous fall,\n if the program was classified as \"day nursery\" rather than\n \"nursery school.\" On January 13, 1943, the Nursery was given\n permission to continue. Responses from volunteers and local\n organizations were good. The \n Child Welfare Associationpaid salaries of\n teachers following the first month when teachers had given\n their service free. Rent had also been donated that first\n month. The Nursery continued operation through 1943 without\n interruption under the supervision of a group of\n Charlottesville citizens with funds raised entirely in \n Charlottesville. In becoming a day\n nursery, it had extended its services by taking care of\n children for ten hours rather than only from nine to three; it\n also took the five-to-six-year-olds who had been excluded\n under the former plan. The Nursery struggled to maintain its\n existence until the organization of the \n Community Chestand its acceptance of the\n Nursery as one of its agencies.","There was a regular tuition charge of one dollar a week per\n child. A plan was worked out whereby the mother and the\n employer were asked to share this tuition as each benefitted\n from the care of the child. Response from employers was\n chiefly favorable. A few mothers paid the entire tuition\n themselves. A few others were unable to pay any because of\n financial obligations. For such cases, there was a scholarship\n committee which investigated the case; and, on the basis of\n their recommendation, whole or partial scholarships were\n granted.","In addition to tuition fees, the Board of the Nursery\n sought other sources of income. It was granted an\n appropriation of seventy-five dollars per month by the City\n Council, which was given as an increased appropriation to the \n Department of Public Welfare, the\n official sponsor of the Nursery. The local Child Welfare\n Association was the next largest contributor with $700 per\n year. There were also individual and group contributions.","Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the Nursery inhabited\n several locations until moving to its present location of 410\n Ridge Street in the late 1950s. During its first few years,\n the Nursery lacked the requirements to meet the needs of the\n community, such as not having an outdoor play area or the\n services of a trained director. From July 1950 until July\n 1951, the Nursery secured the services of Miss \n Velma Branch, a graduate of Hampton\n Institute and College with a year's experience in the Nursery\n School at Hampton Institute. The board members and staff\n gained valuable information on the needs and management of a\n nursery school from Miss Branch, and used this knowledge to\n the Nursery's best advantage. Immediately prior to Miss\n Branch's resignation there had been a reduction of the budget\n by the Community Chest.","During the 1960s, the Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery\n moved from the sponsorship of the Community Chest to the\n sponsorship of the \n United Givers Fund. It continued to grow\n under their sponsorship. In the 1960s, the Nursery provided a\n unique service to \n Charlottesvilleand \n Albemarle Countyas the only day-care\n center for children in the community. It provided day care for\n children of low-income families thereby enabling parents to\n hold full-time jobs, thus increasing the family's income and\n keeping it off welfare. The community also benefitted from the\n productivity of these families and the availability of\n additional workers for its businesses, industries, and\n personal services.","Present day management of the Nursery by a Board of\n Directors came into existence during this time. The Board of\n Directors consists of citizens from all areas of the community\n with an interest in pre-school children and who demonstrate\n leadership qualities. The Board determines the policies of the\n Nursery and supervises its finances. The Nursery program is\n based upon standards established by the \n Virginia Department of Welfare and\n Institutionsfor day-care centers.","During the 1960s, about 70% of the Nursery's operating\n expenses were provided through the \n United Givers Fund. Most of the other 30%\n came from tuition fees paid by parents. There were also\n surplus food items and gifts of services from a local business\n and physician. Tuition was paid by the parents of all children\n in the Nursery. Fees charged were based on the income of the\n family and the number of independent children with a minimum\n of $2.50 and a maximum of $8.50 per child per week. A small\n scholarship fund was available to assist families of children\n who may have become financially distressed through loss of\n job, loss of a parent, or extended illness.","The building located at 410 Ridge Street in which the\n Barrett Day Care Center operates was owned and operated by the\n United Givers Fund throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The\n building was deeded to the \n Barrett Day Care Center, Inc.in 1977 by\n the United Givers Fund, now the \n United Way, with the stipulation that it\n be used as a day care center. As of 1989, the Day Care Center\n operated solely on donations and tuition fees and was the only\n non-profit day care center in \n Charlottesvillethat did not have an\n underwriting sponsor to help pay for such expenses as utility\n or maintenance costs. Donations were not as strong as they\n needed to be; and, although United Way assisted ten children\n at the center with scholarships, there was still a waiting\n list for children whose families needed financial assistance\n for tuition. Working with the Board of Directors of the Day\n Care Center and a representative of the \n Monticello Area Community Action Agency,\n the center's director, \n Cynthia Stratton, helped to set up a\n committee of individuals to raise the money necessary for the\n most pressing needs at the center and to continue the\n operation of the Barrett Day Care Center. Within two months,\n donations from Charlottesville-area businesses and individuals\n helped push a state-mandated project through at the center.\n They also boosted revenue for refurbishing the\n seventy-two-year-old building at 410 Ridge Street.","The Nursery is licensed by the \n Department of Public Welfare(formerly the\n Department of Welfare and Institutions)\n of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This license certifies that\n the Nursery meets health and safety regulations, has adequate\n space and equipment, has sufficient staff, and conducts a\n program that is beneficial to the age children admitted to the\n Nursery.

He was\n the second of seven children of Benjamin Gildersleeve\n (1791-1875), a prominent Presbyterian minister, and Emma\n Louisa Lanneau (1805-59). His early education was provided by\n his father and was steeped in the study of Latin, Greek, and\n the classics. He began his formal schooling at the College of\n Charleston and later enrolled at Princeton from where, in 1849\n at age 17, he graduated fourth in a class of seventy-nine.","In 1850, Gildersleeve traveled to Germany to pursue more\n intensive classical studies in Berlin, Bonn, and at Gottingen\n University from which he received a Ph.D. (1853). Returning\n home to Richmond, he engaged in several literary and\n journalistic activities until his election in 1856 to a\n professorship at the \n University of Virginiawhere he would\n spend the next twenty years teaching Greek and Latin. During\n this period, while convalescing from a Civil War battle wound,\n he met and later married Elizabeth Fisher Colston (1846-1930);\n they raised two children, Raleigh Colston (1869-1944) and Emma\n Louise (1872-1954).","In 1875, Gildersleeve left pastoral Charlottesville for\n Baltimore to serve as the first faculty appointment and Greek\n chair at the newly established Johns Hopkins University.\n During a 40 year tenure at Hopkins, he achieved worldwide\n academic distinction as a classical scholar, renown as a\n master of Greek syntax, and recognition as a major contributor\n to the \"university\" system in American education. He founded\n the \n American Journal of Philologyin 1880 and raised it to international influence by\n the force of his written contributions and editorship; he was\n elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters and\n later to the American Academy of Arts and Letters; he served\n twice as president of the American Philological Association;\n and, in 1905, was the first American to receive a doctorate of\n letters from both Oxford and Cambridge Universities.","Gildersleeve continued in academic work until his\n retirement in 1915 at age 83. He died on January 9, 1924 and\n is buried in University Cemetery in Charlottesville,\n Virginia.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n for the Humanities","The collection contains ca. 860 items (2.5 shelf feet) and\n consists primarily of a variety of keepsakes and memorabilia\n that reflect on the life and work of Gildersleeve and that\n appear to have been personally gathered and saved by him and\n by \n \n Elizabethand, in later years, by his daughter, \n Emma(Mrs.\n Gardiner M. Lane) and his granddaughter, \n Katharine Lane Weems. The scattered\n assortment of letters, notes, diaries, books, reprints,\n newsclips, published articles, obituaries, photographs,\n diplomas, mementoes, and other memorabilia that make up the\n collection have been arranged in four groupings:","Correspondence--A large portion\n of the correspondence consists of personal letters and poetic\n notes that Gildersleeve wrote to his wife over the span of\n their married life. The remaining correspondence includes a\n handful of letters to him from friends and colleagues and a\n miscellaneous group of letters that are addressed to other\n family members. Noteworthy are: an 1866 \n Robert E. Leeautographed letter inviting\n Gildersleeve and Elizabeth to be his house guests at \n Lexington, Virginia(see: Correspondent\n Letters--to \n Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve); a letter\n written in cuneiform script by JHU Professor \n Paul Haupthonoring Gildersleeve on his\n 70th birthday (see: Correspondent Letters--to \n Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve); several\n colleague letters that are affixed, together with some of his\n published articles, in an annotated album that Gildersleeve\n has entitled \"Sargasso--On Weeds from the Atlantic\" (see:\n Diaries/Notebooks-- \n Basil Lanneau Gildersleeveannotated\n album); and two groups of acknowledgement letters (26 items\n and 67 items respectively) from recipients of the publication:\n Selections from the Brief Mention of Basil Lanneau\n Gildersleevewhich was distributed originally in the 1930s by\n Gildersleeve's daughter to some of his former colleagues,\n friends, and pupils (see: Correspondent Letters --to other\n family members) and then again in the 1960s by his\n granddaughter to university and college libraries throughout\n the world (see: Correspondent Letters --Katharine L.\n Weems).","Writings--Included in this group\n are several of Gildersleeve's published articles contained in\n periodicals that were very likely part of his private\n collection and that bear his autograph and marginalia. The\n unpublished papers, together with the diaries and notebooks\n that make up the balance of this group, are an accumulation of\n bits and pieces of written material, most of which appear to\n be in Gildersleeve's hand. Those that are not, along with some\n typewritten drafts, are of unknown authorship. Although not\n voluminous, the items in this group represent a vivid sampling\n of Gildersleeve's writing style over a period of some 75\n years. Included are poems he wrote in 1848 as a 16 year old\n student, travel notes he made during his first and only trip\n to Greece in 1896, and poetry he composed for his wife in\n 1923, shortly before his death.","Commentary--The collection of\n newspaper and published articles gives an indication of the\n esteem in which Gildersleeve was held by scholars and\n commentators from around the world.","Miscellaneous--Most of the\n material in this group consists of keepsake items and\n mementoes that may have held special meaning for Gildersleeve\n as well as for his wife, daughter and granddaughter. Of\n special note among Gildersleeve's personal keepsakes are\n ancient Greek coins from the period ca. 400-336 B.C. and his\n grandfather Finch's Continental Army Commission that bears a\n John Jay autograph. Also included in this group are a\n collection of family photographs and some miscellaneous\n genealogical material relating to the Gildersleeve and Colston\n family lineage. Oversized material (30 items) consisting of\n several large photographic prints, diplomas, academic\n certificates, and a blueprint drawing have been relocated to\n an oversized storage box.","See the \n \n University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

Included are poems he wrote in 1848 as a 16 year old\n student, travel notes he made during his first and only trip\n to Greece in 1896, and poetry he composed for his wife in\n 1923, shortly before his death.","Commentary--The collection of\n newspaper and published articles gives an indication of the\n esteem in which Gildersleeve was held by scholars and\n commentators from around the world.","Miscellaneous--Most of the\n material in this group consists of keepsake items and\n mementoes that may have held special meaning for Gildersleeve\n as well as for his wife, daughter and granddaughter. Of\n special note among Gildersleeve's personal keepsakes are\n ancient Greek coins from the period ca. 400-336 B.C. and his\n grandfather Finch's Continental Army Commission that bears a\n John Jay autograph. Also included in this group are a\n collection of family photographs and some miscellaneous\n genealogical material relating to the Gildersleeve and Colston\n family lineage.

He was born on February 25, 1924, the seventh of fourteen children, in Rappahannock County, VA. His father and mother were tenant farmers, whose children grew up helping out with the farming, cutting timber, herding cows, and doing whatever was needed to support their family.","Jackson's parents and siblings all played some combinations of guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, autoharp, and even homemade penny whistles. Jackson's father was well known in the area and traveled around the county to parties and dances, playing the blues, old mountain songs, and other regional music. His mother played and sang spiritual songs.","Jackson began playing his father's guitar when he was four. He learned how to play from his father, by watching the other musicians he saw performing at local gatherings, and from a man known as Happy, in a month-long series of guitar lessons. Jackson's older sister purchased a guitar for him when he was nine years old. He also learned from phonograph records. He was fond of the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Jimmie Rodgers, and Ernest Tubb, as well as a wide range of gospel, ragtime, and country hymns.","Like his father, Jackson performed at house parties, although music was something reserved for evenings and weekends, as he had multiple jobs including working as a cook, butler, chauffeur, general caretaker, and even a gravedigger. Jackson already had a young wife and a family of his own when he left his parents' farm at 25 years old. He moved with his wife and children to Fairfax, Virginia, where he worked on another farm, other occasional jobs such as chopping and hauling firewood and digging graves.","Circumstances led Jackson to give up the house party circuit and retire from public performances for nearly 20 years. But Jackson began his return to playing music in 1962 when he played for children that were playing in his yard, and later when he agreed to giving guitar lessons to his mailman. It was during one of these lessons that took place at the gas station where the mailman worked at night that professor of folklore and English at the University of Virginia, Charles Perdue heard Jackson playing after stopping for gas and asked him to play for him.","Perdue, who was involved with the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, the National Council for the Traditional Arts, and the effort to record and preserve folk music across Virginia introduced Jackson to other blues and folk musicians in the region and across the country. Perdue championed Jackson's playing to help establish him as a professional musician, and help him become thoroughly successful on the folk circuit both at home and around the world","For the next thirty-plus years he was the Virginia/Washington, D.C. area's most prominent traditional artist. He was a festival favorite who also hosted the musical house parties in the region. Jackson toured widely across the United States and abroad, making numerous recordings, playing his distinctive Piedmont guitar blues, and also performing on the banjo. He is one of the few African American musicians to play the blues on the banjo, which he learned growing up in the rural Piedmont region.","Jackson drew attention to the rich musical traditions of Appalachia and advocated for the quantity and quality of local Virginia artists. However, although Jackson recalled a thriving blues guitar tradition in his home community, few black Virginians were recorded. During the 1920s and 1930s only three musicians produced a significant body of recordings.","John Jackson received the National Heritage Fellowship in 1986 from the National Endowment for the Arts for his role as a teacher and traditional artist, which is America's highest honor in the folk music world. Jackson performed for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, the US Congress, many European heads of state, and in Carnegie and Royal Albert Hall. He played with famous musicians such as B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Ricky Scaggs.","Jackson survived his wife, Cora, who died in October 1990, three sons, and one daughter. He performed his last show on New Year's Eve 2002 and died on January 20, 2002.","Reference list:","Remembering John Jackson. (2025).

He was born on February 25, 1924, the seventh of fourteen children, in Rappahannock County, VA. His father and mother were tenant farmers, whose children grew up helping out with the farming, cutting timber, herding cows, and doing whatever was needed to support their family.","Jackson's parents and siblings all played some combinations of guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, autoharp, and even homemade penny whistles. Jackson's father was well known in the area and traveled around the county to parties and dances, playing the blues, old mountain songs, and other regional music. His mother played and sang spiritual songs.","Jackson began playing his father's guitar when he was four. He learned how to play from his father, by watching the other musicians he saw performing at local gatherings, and from a man known as Happy, in a month-long series of guitar lessons. Jackson's older sister purchased a guitar for him when he was nine years old. He also learned from phonograph records. He was fond of the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Jimmie Rodgers, and Ernest Tubb, as well as a wide range of gospel, ragtime, and country hymns.","Like his father, Jackson performed at house parties, although music was something reserved for evenings and weekends, as he had multiple jobs including working as a cook, butler, chauffeur, general caretaker, and even a gravedigger. Jackson already had a young wife and a family of his own when he left his parents' farm at 25 years old. He moved with his wife and children to Fairfax, Virginia, where he worked on another farm, other occasional jobs such as chopping and hauling firewood and digging graves.","Circumstances led Jackson to give up the house party circuit and retire from public performances for nearly 20 years. But Jackson began his return to playing music in 1962 when he played for children that were playing in his yard, and later when he agreed to giving guitar lessons to his mailman. It was during one of these lessons that took place at the gas station where the mailman worked at night that professor of folklore and English at the University of Virginia, Charles Perdue heard Jackson playing after stopping for gas and asked him to play for him.","Perdue, who was involved with the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, the National Council for the Traditional Arts, and the effort to record and preserve folk music across Virginia introduced Jackson to other blues and folk musicians in the region and across the country. Perdue championed Jackson's playing to help establish him as a professional musician, and help him become thoroughly successful on the folk circuit both at home and around the world","For the next thirty-plus years he was the Virginia/Washington, D.C. area's most prominent traditional artist. He was a festival favorite who also hosted the musical house parties in the region. Jackson toured widely across the United States and abroad, making numerous recordings, playing his distinctive Piedmont guitar blues, and also performing on the banjo. He is one of the few African American musicians to play the blues on the banjo, which he learned growing up in the rural Piedmont region.","Jackson drew attention to the rich musical traditions of Appalachia and advocated for the quantity and quality of local Virginia artists. However, although Jackson recalled a thriving blues guitar tradition in his home community, few black Virginians were recorded. During the 1920s and 1930s only three musicians produced a significant body of recordings.","John Jackson received the National Heritage Fellowship in 1986 from the National Endowment for the Arts for his role as a teacher and traditional artist, which is America's highest honor in the folk music world. Jackson performed for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, the US Congress, many European heads of state, and in Carnegie and Royal Albert Hall. He played with famous musicians such as B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Ricky Scaggs.","Jackson survived his wife, Cora, who died in October 1990, three sons, and one daughter. He performed his last show on New Year's Eve 2002 and died on January 20, 2002.","Reference list:","Remembering John Jackson. (2025).
