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.

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. 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 Institute and 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 Barksdale served as\n judge.","See the \n \n University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

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 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.
