According to Halle, the \"Old State Department\" building\n         embodied the democratic ideal of the closeness of government\n         officials to the people, while the new \n          State Department building was designed to\n         isolate top officials from any contact with the rank and file\n         of the Department or the common people.","Based upon \n          Winston Churchill 's admonition that \"We\n         shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us,\" \n          Louis Halle warns American architects not\n         to indulge in inappropriate architectural pretentiousness just\n         because it is the current fashion.","The correspondence was generated by \n          State Department personnel in response to \n          Walter Taylor 's request to quote \n          Louis J.

Allison Kemper (1787-1873). He attended the Locust Dale Academy, then Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, graduating in 1842. He read law under George W.

When the Mexican War began, Kemper was appointed captain in the First Virginia Regiment and served until the end of the war. In 1853, Kemper was elected to the House of Delegates and served until 1863. He was Speaker of the House from 1861 to 1863. Kemper also was appointed a general in the Virginia militia in 1858. When the Civil War began, Kemper was appointed colonel of the 7th Virginia Infantry. Due to his performance at the battle of Seven Pines, Kemper was promoted to brigadier general. He was wounded in Pickett's Charge on 3 July 1863, and was captured by Union troops a few days later. Exchanged in September 1863, he returned to his command. Kemper was put in command of the reserve forces of Virginia in 1864.\n","After the war ended, Kemper returned to his law practice in Madison County and pursued business interests. He was elected governor of Virginia in 1873 and served from 1874 to 1878. Much of his term was spent in dealing with Virginia's debt. On 12 March 1874, Kemper created controversy and angered his Conservative contemporaries by vetoing a bill to transfer control of the city government of Petersburg from elected Republican officials to a board of commissioners appointed by a city judge. Governor Kemper also played an integral part in the unveiling of John Henry Foley's statue to Stonewall Jackson on Capitol Square.\n","After he left the governor's office, Kemper returned to Madison County, then moved to Orange County in 1882. Kemper married Cremora Conway Cave (ca. 1837-1870) 4 July 1853 in Madison County, and they had seven children.

Executive letter books of Governor James L. Kemper, 1874-1877.\n","Arranged chronologically.\n","James Lawson Kemper was born 11 June 1823 at \"Mountain Prospect\" in Madison County, Virginia, to William Kemper (1776-1853) and Maria E. Allison Kemper (1787-1873). He attended the Locust Dale Academy, then Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, graduating in 1842. He read law under George W. Summers (1804-1868) of Kanawha County, (West) Virginia, and received a master's degree from Washington College. Admitted to the bar 2 October 1846, Kemper returned to Madison County to practice law. When the Mexican War began, Kemper was appointed captain in the First Virginia Regiment and served until the end of the war. In 1853, Kemper was elected to the House of Delegates and served until 1863. He was Speaker of the House from 1861 to 1863. Kemper also was appointed a general in the Virginia militia in 1858. When the Civil War began, Kemper was appointed colonel of the 7th Virginia Infantry. Due to his performance at the battle of Seven Pines, Kemper was promoted to brigadier general. He was wounded in Pickett's Charge on 3 July 1863, and was captured by Union troops a few days later. Exchanged in September 1863, he returned to his command. Kemper was put in command of the reserve forces of Virginia in 1864.\n","After the war ended, Kemper returned to his law practice in Madison County and pursued business interests. He was elected governor of Virginia in 1873 and served from 1874 to 1878. Much of his term was spent in dealing with Virginia's debt. On 12 March 1874, Kemper created controversy and angered his Conservative contemporaries by vetoing a bill to transfer control of the city government of Petersburg from elected Republican officials to a board of commissioners appointed by a city judge. Governor Kemper also played an integral part in the unveiling of John Henry Foley's statue to Stonewall Jackson on Capitol Square.\n","After he left the governor's office, Kemper returned to Madison County, then moved to Orange County in 1882. Kemper married Cremora Conway Cave (ca. 1837-1870) 4 July 1853 in Madison County, and they had seven children. Kemper died 7 April 1895 in Orange County and buried at the family cemetery at \"Walnut Hills\" in Madison County.\n","Virginia Governor (1874-1878 : Kemper), Executive papers of Governor James L.

The\n         major correspondence series is arranged chronologically. The\n         topical correspondence and speech sections generally follow\n         the divisions set up by Barksdale.

He was\n         educated in local schools, with the exception of one year\n         (1907-1908) which he spent at \n          Cluster Springs Academy in \n          Cluster Springs, Virginia . He attended\n         the \n          Virginia Military Institute from 1908 to\n         1911, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree after only\n         three years. Following a year of teaching in a \n          Halifax school, he entered the \n          University of Virginia Law School , and\n         received his LL.B. in 1915. He entered the practice of law in \n          Lynchburg, Virginia , but soon left to\n         serve as a first lieutenant in the First Virginia Infantry\n         --known as the \"Musketeers\"--on the Mexican border from June\n         1916 to February 1917. Promoted to captain in July 1917, he\n         served in the 116th Infantry, 29th Division, \n          American Expeditionary Forces , and saw\n         active service in \n          France from June 1918 to July 1919.\n         Following the Armistice, he attended classes at the \n          Sorbonne , in addition to acting as a\n         judge-advocate for his battalion. He was released from service\n         in August 1919, and received the Distinguished Service Cross,\n         the Croix de Guerre, and the Chevalier Legion of Honor as a\n         result of his military performance.","Upon his return to the \n          United States , \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale resumed his\n         legal practice in \n          Lynchburg . He served as a \n          Virginia state senator from 1924 to 1928,\n         and although this was the extent of his active political\n         career, he formed many valuable political connections,\n         including one with \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , whom he assisted in\n         his campaign for governor. In 1938, Barksdale was named judge\n         of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia , this being the same position\n         which his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , had filled\n         for many years in the early 1900's. In 1940 he was appointed\n         judge of the \n          United States District Court for the\n         Western District of \n          Virginia , and served in this capacity\n         until he retired in 1957. Following his retirement from the\n         bench he continued to do legal work, including service on the\n         Trial Bench and the Court of Appeals, until his death on 16\n         August 1972.","Judge \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale married \n          Estill Winfree Phillips in 1934, and they\n         made their home in \n          Lynchburg until the judge's death. Their\n         family included Mrs. Barksdale's son from her previous\n         marriage, \n          William Causey Phillips, Jr. , and the \n          Barksdale 's two daughters, \n          Louisa Estill Winfree Barksdale Loyd , and \n          Mary B. Garbee .","In addition to his legal career, \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale served on the \n          Board of Trustees of Hollins College for\n         over thirty years, was a member of the \n          Board of Visitors of the University of\n         Virginia for ten years, and was a member of both the\n          Virginia Bar Association and \n          American Bar Association .","For further biographical information, see the typescript\n         biography in control folder no. 10230.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","These papers, consisting of cat 7770 items, (12 boxes, 1\n         oversize folder; 5 linear shelf feet), are the personal papers\n         of Judge \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale of \n          Lynchburg, Virginia . Most of the papers\n         fall between the years 1938 and 1972, with some covering the\n         earlier period of 1918-1919. These periods correspond to the\n         years of \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's career as\n         judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia and as judge of the U. S.\n         District Court of the Western District of \n          Virginia , and also of his military\n         service during World War I.","The major series in the collection is that of\n         chronologically-arranged personal correspondence, covering the\n         years 1918-1919 and 1940-1972. This correspondence consists\n         chiefly of personal and routine social correspondence with\n         family members, acquaintances, and friends, many of whom were \n          Virginia lawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n          Virginia senators \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , and \n          Carter Glass ; \n          Virginia governor and \n          University of Virginia president \n          Colgate Darden ; prominent businessman,\n         government official, and Secretary of State \n          Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. ; and speaker of\n         the House of Representatives \n          Sam Rayburn . A minor problem in using the\n         correspondence is that Barksdale's nickname was \"Dick,\" and\n         occasionally people address him as \"Richard\" Barksdale.","The chronological correspondence also includes \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's World War I\n         correspondence with his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , his brother; \n          John Barksdale , and other family members\n         and American friends. There are also a substantial number of\n         letters and postcards from acquaintances he made in \n          France , including several young French\n         women. One folder contains official correspondence concerning\n         Barksdale's war honors.","Following the chronological correspondence is a section of\n         topical correspondence and related materials, which include\n         memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, miscellaneous printed\n         material, etc.. The topics include important court cases,\n         organizations to which \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale belonged, and\n         major turning points in his career, such as his appointment to\n         the district judgeship, and his retirement. The letters\n         relating to Barksdale's appointment to the district judgeship\n         are of particular interest as they shed some light on the\n         processes of political appointments. Other folders contain\n         material concerning Barksdale's World War I unit, Company M,\n         and the \"Musketeers,\" and material regarding Barksdale's\n         associations with \n          Hollins College and the \n          University of Virginia . Some genealogical\n         material is also contained in this section.","A major portion of the collection consists of speeches\n         given by \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale , with\n         background material, correspondence, and miscellaneous items.\n         Barksdale delivered speeches at naturalization ceremonies at \n          Roanoke and other \n          Virginia locations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n          University of Virginia alumni groups,\n         women's groups, bar associations, and at various \n          Virginia Military Institute , court, and\n         law school functions. Some speeches are related to special\n         functions Barksdale performed such as introducing \n          Greer Garson and \n          John F. Kennedy on the occasions when they\n         spoke in \n          Lynchburg . It should be noted that\n         material in the chronological correspondence overlaps with\n         both topical correspondence and speeches. This material was\n         not transferred as Barksdale had filed it chronologically.","Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's\n         miscellaneous papers and memorabilia consist of family,\n         personal, and professional items. His memorabilia from World\n         War I includes contemporary postcards from places he visited\n         in \n          Europe .

He was\n         educated in local schools, with the exception of one year\n         (1907-1908) which he spent at \n          Cluster Springs Academy in \n          Cluster Springs, Virginia . He attended\n         the \n          Virginia Military Institute from 1908 to\n         1911, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree after only\n         three years. Following a year of teaching in a \n          Halifax school, he entered the \n          University of Virginia Law School , and\n         received his LL.B. in 1915. He entered the practice of law in \n          Lynchburg, Virginia , but soon left to\n         serve as a first lieutenant in the First Virginia Infantry\n         --known as the \"Musketeers\"--on the Mexican border from June\n         1916 to February 1917. Promoted to captain in July 1917, he\n         served in the 116th Infantry, 29th Division, \n          American Expeditionary Forces , and saw\n         active service in \n          France from June 1918 to July 1919.\n         Following the Armistice, he attended classes at the \n          Sorbonne , in addition to acting as a\n         judge-advocate for his battalion. He was released from service\n         in August 1919, and received the Distinguished Service Cross,\n         the Croix de Guerre, and the Chevalier Legion of Honor as a\n         result of his military performance.","Upon his return to the \n          United States , \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale resumed his\n         legal practice in \n          Lynchburg . He served as a \n          Virginia state senator from 1924 to 1928,\n         and although this was the extent of his active political\n         career, he formed many valuable political connections,\n         including one with \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , whom he assisted in\n         his campaign for governor. In 1938, Barksdale was named judge\n         of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia , this being the same position\n         which his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , had filled\n         for many years in the early 1900's. In 1940 he was appointed\n         judge of the \n          United States District Court for the\n         Western District of \n          Virginia , and served in this capacity\n         until he retired in 1957.

Most of the papers\n         fall between the years 1938 and 1972, with some covering the\n         earlier period of 1918-1919. These periods correspond to the\n         years of \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's career as\n         judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia and as judge of the U. S.\n         District Court of the Western District of \n          Virginia , and also of his military\n         service during World War I.","The major series in the collection is that of\n         chronologically-arranged personal correspondence, covering the\n         years 1918-1919 and 1940-1972. This correspondence consists\n         chiefly of personal and routine social correspondence with\n         family members, acquaintances, and friends, many of whom were \n          Virginia lawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n          Virginia senators \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , and \n          Carter Glass ; \n          Virginia governor and \n          University of Virginia president \n          Colgate Darden ; prominent businessman,\n         government official, and Secretary of State \n          Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. ; and speaker of\n         the House of Representatives \n          Sam Rayburn . A minor problem in using the\n         correspondence is that Barksdale's nickname was \"Dick,\" and\n         occasionally people address him as \"Richard\" Barksdale.","The chronological correspondence also includes \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's World War I\n         correspondence with his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , his brother; \n          John Barksdale , and other family members\n         and American friends. There are also a substantial number of\n         letters and postcards from acquaintances he made in \n          France , including several young French\n         women. One folder contains official correspondence concerning\n         Barksdale's war honors.","Following the chronological correspondence is a section of\n         topical correspondence and related materials, which include\n         memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, miscellaneous printed\n         material, etc.. The topics include important court cases,\n         organizations to which \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale belonged, and\n         major turning points in his career, such as his appointment to\n         the district judgeship, and his retirement. The letters\n         relating to Barksdale's appointment to the district judgeship\n         are of particular interest as they shed some light on the\n         processes of political appointments. Other folders contain\n         material concerning Barksdale's World War I unit, Company M,\n         and the \"Musketeers,\" and material regarding Barksdale's\n         associations with \n          Hollins College and the \n          University of Virginia . Some genealogical\n         material is also contained in this section.","A major portion of the collection consists of speeches\n         given by \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale , with\n         background material, correspondence, and miscellaneous items.\n         Barksdale delivered speeches at naturalization ceremonies at \n          Roanoke and other \n          Virginia locations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n          University of Virginia alumni groups,\n         women's groups, bar associations, and at various \n          Virginia Military Institute , court, and\n         law school functions. Some speeches are related to special\n         functions Barksdale performed such as introducing \n          Greer Garson and \n          John F. Kennedy on the occasions when they\n         spoke in \n          Lynchburg . It should be noted that\n         material in the chronological correspondence overlaps with\n         both topical correspondence and speeches. This material was\n         not transferred as Barksdale had filed it chronologically.","Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's\n         miscellaneous papers and memorabilia consist of family,\n         personal, and professional items. His memorabilia from World\n         War I includes contemporary postcards from places he visited\n         in \n          Europe . Contained in this section, as\n         well as in the section of oversized material, are Barksdale's\n         certificates for awards he won and positions he held.

He\n         spent his later formative years (1883-1889) as a student in\n         Munich, Germany attending the \n          Hochschule der Musik and 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 Blue and the orchestral-choral symphonic poem, \n          Aucassin and Nicolete were 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 Virginia in 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 Club and 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 Symphony orchestras; 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 Blue at 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 Concerts program 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 Church in 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 Sun and 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 Blue with 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. The\n         largest portion of the papers, consists of originals and\n         copies of virtually all of the music that\n         Fickénscher produced. The remaining portion\n         contains correspondence and other papers of a professional and\n         personal nature. The collection has been divided into three\n         major groups:","Group I, (Correspondence), contains letters sent to\n         Fickénscher and drafts and second copies of letters\n         that he prepared. The correspondence is subdivided into three\n         categories: (1) General, (2) Named and (3) Polytone Related.\n         These are listed by date or by correspondent name to highlight\n         special interest or subject matter.","Group II, (Professional and Personal), contains items\n         relating to Fickénscher's music and academic career\n         activities. These include published articles; biographical\n         background about his life and work; catalogue descriptions of\n         his music; memorabilia in the form of concert and recital\n         programs; reviews and newspaper clippings; a compilation of\n         notes, drawings and music relating to the evolution and\n         development of the \"Polytone;\" and an assortment of other\n         miscellaneous items consisting of financial and contract\n         records of the \n          University of Virginia's McIntire\n         Concerts (1919-1939); photographs of family and\n         friends; instructor notes for voice lessons; some brochures\n         about musical instruments; name and address notebooks and\n         family birth, marriage and burial documents.","Group III, (Compositions), contains original manuscripts,\n         master sheets for duplication and print copies of musical\n         scores.

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."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eArthur Fickénscher\n            Papers, Accession 12731, Special Collections Department, University of\n         Virginia Library\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Arthur Fickénscher\n            Papers, Accession 12731, Special Collections Department, University of\n         Virginia Library"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eFunded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Funding Note"],"processinfo_tesim":["Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Papers of Arthur Fickénscher contain ca.\n         2,000 items (11 shelf feet) that span the years 1895-1995.

He\n         spent his later formative years (1883-1889) as a student in\n         Munich, Germany attending the \n          Hochschule der Musik and 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 Blue and the orchestral-choral symphonic poem, \n          Aucassin and Nicolete were 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 Virginia in 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 Club and 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 Symphony orchestras; 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 Blue at 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 Concerts program 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 Church in 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 Sun and 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 Blue with 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. The\n         largest portion of the papers, consists of originals and\n         copies of virtually all of the music that\n         Fickénscher produced. The remaining portion\n         contains correspondence and other papers of a professional and\n         personal nature. The collection has been divided into three\n         major groups:","Group I, (Correspondence), contains letters sent to\n         Fickénscher and drafts and second copies of letters\n         that he prepared. The correspondence is subdivided into three\n         categories: (1) General, (2) Named and (3) Polytone Related.\n         These are listed by date or by correspondent name to highlight\n         special interest or subject matter.","Group II, (Professional and Personal), contains items\n         relating to Fickénscher's music and academic career\n         activities. These include published articles; biographical\n         background about his life and work; catalogue descriptions of\n         his music; memorabilia in the form of concert and recital\n         programs; reviews and newspaper clippings; a compilation of\n         notes, drawings and music relating to the evolution and\n         development of the \"Polytone;\" and an assortment of other\n         miscellaneous items consisting of financial and contract\n         records of the \n          University of Virginia's McIntire\n         Concerts (1919-1939); photographs of family and\n         friends; instructor notes for voice lessons; some brochures\n         about musical instruments; name and address notebooks and\n         family birth, marriage and burial documents.","Group III, (Compositions), contains original manuscripts,\n         master sheets for duplication and print copies of musical\n         scores. These items have been consolidated into oversized\n         folders for ease of reference and study and have been arranged\n         in this listing under descriptive categories similar to those\n         used by Fickénscher in describing his own\n         compositions and by others who have catalogued his musical\n         works.

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 Edwards and \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 Association paid 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 Chest and 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          Charlottesville and \n          Albemarle County as 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         Institutions for 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          Charlottesville that 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.

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         \u003ccorpname\u003eChild Welfare Association\u003c/corpname\u003epaid 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         \u003cgeogname\u003eCharlottesville\u003c/geogname\u003e. 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eCommunity Chest\u003c/corpname\u003eand its acceptance of the\n         Nursery as one of its agencies.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eDepartment of Public Welfare\u003c/corpname\u003e, 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThroughout 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         \u003cpersname\u003eVelma Branch\u003c/persname\u003e, 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1960s, the Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery\n         moved from the sponsorship of the Community Chest to the\n         sponsorship of the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eUnited Givers Fund\u003c/corpname\u003e. It continued to grow\n         under their sponsorship. In the 1960s, the Nursery provided a\n         unique service to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCharlottesville\u003c/geogname\u003eand \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eAlbemarle County\u003c/geogname\u003eas 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePresent 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eVirginia Department of Welfare and\n         Institutions\u003c/corpname\u003efor day-care centers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1960s, about 70% of the Nursery's operating\n         expenses were provided through the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eUnited Givers Fund\u003c/corpname\u003e. 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eBarrett Day Care Center, Inc.\u003c/corpname\u003ein 1977 by\n         the United Givers Fund, now the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eUnited Way\u003c/corpname\u003e, 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         \u003cgeogname\u003eCharlottesville\u003c/geogname\u003ethat 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eMonticello Area Community Action Agency\u003c/corpname\u003e,\n         the center's director, \n         \u003cpersname\u003eCynthia Stratton\u003c/persname\u003e, 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Nursery is licensed by the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eDepartment of Public Welfare\u003c/corpname\u003e(formerly the\n         \u003ccorpname\u003eDepartment of Welfare and Institutions\u003c/corpname\u003e)\n         of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

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          Charlottesville and \n          Albemarle County as 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         Institutions for 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          Charlottesville that 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 ."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBarrett Day Care Center Papers, Accession #3283, -a, -b,\n            Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Barrett Day Care Center Papers, Accession #3283, -a, -b,\n            Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[correspondence with board members and employees;\n                  donations of money, food, and supplies; budget;\n                  liquidation of the \n                  \u003ccorpname\u003eChild Protection Program of the Works\n                  Project Administration\u003c/corpname\u003e(23 Dec 1942); \n                  \u003ccorpname\u003eR.

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 Edwards and \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 Association paid 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 Chest and 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          Charlottesville and \n          Albemarle County as 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         Institutions for 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          Charlottesville that 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.

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         \u003ccorpname\u003eChild Welfare Association\u003c/corpname\u003epaid 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         \u003cgeogname\u003eCharlottesville\u003c/geogname\u003e. 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eCommunity Chest\u003c/corpname\u003eand its acceptance of the\n         Nursery as one of its agencies.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eDepartment of Public Welfare\u003c/corpname\u003e, 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThroughout 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         \u003cpersname\u003eVelma Branch\u003c/persname\u003e, 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1960s, the Janie Porter Barrett Day Nursery\n         moved from the sponsorship of the Community Chest to the\n         sponsorship of the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eUnited Givers Fund\u003c/corpname\u003e. It continued to grow\n         under their sponsorship. In the 1960s, the Nursery provided a\n         unique service to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCharlottesville\u003c/geogname\u003eand \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eAlbemarle County\u003c/geogname\u003eas 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePresent 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eVirginia Department of Welfare and\n         Institutions\u003c/corpname\u003efor day-care centers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1960s, about 70% of the Nursery's operating\n         expenses were provided through the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eUnited Givers Fund\u003c/corpname\u003e. 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eBarrett Day Care Center, Inc.\u003c/corpname\u003ein 1977 by\n         the United Givers Fund, now the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eUnited Way\u003c/corpname\u003e, 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         \u003cgeogname\u003eCharlottesville\u003c/geogname\u003ethat 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         \u003ccorpname\u003eMonticello Area Community Action Agency\u003c/corpname\u003e,\n         the center's director, \n         \u003cpersname\u003eCynthia Stratton\u003c/persname\u003e, 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Nursery is licensed by the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eDepartment of Public Welfare\u003c/corpname\u003e(formerly the\n         \u003ccorpname\u003eDepartment of Welfare and Institutions\u003c/corpname\u003e)\n         of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Nursery struggled to maintain its\n         existence until the organization of the \n          Community Chest and 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          Charlottesville and \n          Albemarle County as 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         Institutions for 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          Charlottesville that 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 ."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBarrett Day Care Center Papers, Accession #3283, -a, -b,\n            Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Barrett Day Care Center Papers, Accession #3283, -a, -b,\n            Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[correspondence with board members and employees;\n                  donations of money, food, and supplies; budget;\n                  liquidation of the \n                  \u003ccorpname\u003eChild Protection Program of the Works\n                  Project Administration\u003c/corpname\u003e(23 Dec 1942); \n                  \u003ccorpname\u003eR.
