Following a year of teaching in a \n         Halifaxschool, 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.

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.

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         Virginiaand 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         Virginialawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n         Virginiasenators \n         Harry F. Byrd, Sr., and \n         Carter Glass; \n         Virginiagovernor and \n         University of Virginiapresident \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 Barksdalebelonged, 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 Collegeand 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         Roanokeand other \n         Virginialocations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n         University of Virginiaalumni 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 Garsonand \n         John F. Kennedyon 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. Two\n         folders contain listings of addresses of people with whom he\n         was acquainted.","The printed material section contains printed items used in\n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's military and\n         professional careers, and printed memorabilia from the \n         Virginia Military Instituteand the \n         University of Virginia. Three folders of\n         newspaper clippings relate to important events in his life and\n         career, including the trial of several German-American Bund\n         leaders, convicted of violating the Selective Service Act in\n         1942 in \n         New York City, at which \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleserved as\n         judge.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

Following a year of teaching in a \n         Halifaxschool, 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.

He served as a \n         Virginiastate 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 Courtfor 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         Virginiaand 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         Virginialawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n         Virginiasenators \n         Harry F. Byrd, Sr., and \n         Carter Glass; \n         Virginiagovernor and \n         University of Virginiapresident \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 Barksdalebelonged, 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 Collegeand 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         Roanokeand other \n         Virginialocations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n         University of Virginiaalumni 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 Garsonand \n         John F. Kennedyon 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. Two\n         folders contain listings of addresses of people with whom he\n         was acquainted.","The printed material section contains printed items used in\n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's military and\n         professional careers, and printed memorabilia from the \n         Virginia Military Instituteand the \n         University of Virginia. Three folders of\n         newspaper clippings relate to important events in his life and\n         career, including the trial of several German-American Bund\n         leaders, convicted of violating the Selective Service Act in\n         1942 in \n         New York City, at which \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleserved as\n         judge.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

According to the Northwestern Reporter, he possessed \"an unusually happy blend of wisdom, patience, and warmth.\" During his deanship the faculty grew in size and reputation, and new facilities were constructed. \"His years at Northwestern will be remembered particularly for his devotion to students and for the strengthening of the School's relationship with alumni . . .\"","In addition to his administrative duties, Ritchie taught trusts, and along with co-authors Neill H. Alford Jr. and Richard W. Effland, wrote the casebook, Cases and Materials on Decedents' Estates and Trusts, which appeared in seven editions from 1955 until just after his death in 1988. He was president of the Association of American Law Schools, national president of the Order of the Coif, member of the American Law Institute, and life fellow of the American Bar Foundation.","When he reached the age of sixty-eight and had to retire from the deanship at Northwestern, Ritchie returned to the University of Virginia, taught full-time for two more years, and then became scholar-in-residence. An extraordinarily active man, he was not entirely \"in residence,\" because in the next three years he visited at the University of Tennessee, the University of Oklahoma, and the College of William and Mary. In the mid-1970s, he began work on a history of the University of Virginia Law School, The First Hundred Years: A Short History of the School of Law of the University of Virginia for the Period 1826-1926, published in 1978. For the rest of his life, Ritchie remained active in the American Bar Association and the Virginia Bar Association, worked occasionally as a consultant in trusts matters, and served on the board of the Foundation Press.  Ritchie died in 1988."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe papers of John Ritchie III include professional papers, mainly correspondence, concerning legal education.
