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.

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.

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.

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."],"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.

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.

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.

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.

He was\n         the second of seven children of Benjamin Gildersleeve\n         (1791-1875), a prominent Presbyterian minister, and Emma\n         Louisa Lanneau (1805-59).

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

He was born on  February 25, 1924 , the seventh of fourteen children, in Rappahannock County, VA. His father and mother were tenant farmers, whose children grew up helping out with the farming, cutting timber, herding cows, and doing whatever was needed to support their family. ","\nJackson's parents and siblings all played some combinations of guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, autoharp, and even homemade penny whistles. Jackson's father was well known in the area and traveled around the county to parties and dances, playing the blues, old mountain songs, and other regional music. His mother played and sang spiritual songs. ","Jackson  began playing his father's guitar when he was four. He learned how to play from his father, by watching the other musicians he saw performing at local gatherings, and from a man known as Happy, in a month-long series of guitar lessons. Jackson's older sister purchased a guitar for him when he was nine years old. He also learned from phonograph records. He was fond of the music of  Blind Lemon Jefferson ,  Blind Blake ,  Blind Boy Fuller ,  Jimmie Rodgers , and  Ernest Tubb , as well as a wide range of gospel, ragtime, and country hymns. ","\nLike his father, Jackson performed at house parties, although music was something reserved for evenings and weekends, as he had multiple jobs including working as a  cook ,  butler ,  chauffeur , general  caretaker , and even a  gravedigger .

A copy of her\n         reminiscences can be found in the Rare Books collection (F 231\n         .B65 1944 1962ed). The \n          Morrison family material consists chiefly of\n         the papers of Rev. \n          James Morrison (1797-1870), including\n         correspondence concerning his family, his congregation, and\n         the \n          Presbyterian Church ; also included are\n         his seminary and sermon notes from 1815-1874, and diaries and\n         account books for his home, \n          Bellevue .","Subjects included in this collection are farms in \n          Buckingham Co., Va. , family affairs, the\n         Civil War, school administration in \n          Buckingham Co. , \n          Auburn University , the \n          University of Virginia , mining and\n         mineral rights in \n          Virginia , immigrant land schemes in \n          Virginia , including the \n          James River Valley Immigrant Society and\n         the \n          Virginia Land and Immigrant Company , \n          Virginia and national politics, tobacco\n         culture in \n          Australia and the southern \n          United States , Rev. \n          James Morrison 's education at the \n          University of North Carolina , his\n         pastorates in \n          North Carolina and \n          Virginia , the \n          Presbyterian Church in the South, and the \n          Bellevue School in \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia .","Most of the personal correspondence in the collection is\n         concerned with family matters. A great deal of the letters\n         discussed agriculture with regard to the family farms,\n         especially \n          Variety Shade , and \n          Alexander J. Bondurant 's various\n         agricultural positions and interests. AJB's letters from \n          Australia to various family members\n         spanned the period from 1896 to 1901. These contain some\n         information on agriculture and the culture of \n          Australia . Some of the letters from \n          Charles W. Dabney to \n          A.J. Bondurant (1881-1898) discuss iron\n         ore and mineral rights in \n          Virginia as well as agriculture.","The Civil War and its affects is another subject to be\n         found in the correspondence. Letters from \n          Emily (Morrison) Bondurant to \n          Alexander J. Bondurant mention her\n         brothers' war activities and posts (29 Jul, 8 Aug, and 11 Aug\n         1862; 6 [Apr] and 22 Apr 1863; 1 Mar, 28 Mar, 5 Apr 1865). A\n         13 May 1863 letter from \n          Thomas Lee Bondurant to \n          A.J.Bondurant mentions the reaction to the\n         death of General \n          Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson . Letters to \n          E.M. Bondurant from \n          A.J. Bondurant mention the war and his\n         desire to support the army (12 Apr, 27 Apr, 26 May 1863). Rev.\n          James Morrison also wrote to his daughter \n          E.M. Bondurant about the war and her\n         brother, \n          Samuel Morrison 's appointment as a\n         surgeon in the army (5 Nov 1861, 23 May 1865). Letters to Rev.\n          James Morrison mention the early rumblings\n         of the Civil War and rumors of secession (25 Jul, 20 Oct, 9\n         Nov, 4 Dec 1860), as well as letters from his sons telling of\n         their posts (20 Feb, 4 Dec 1863; 14 Jan, 21 May 1863).","Politics is also a prominent subject in some of the\n         correspondence. The \n          Bondurants were active in the publishing\n         of the \n          Richmond Whig (est. 1824) and it is\n         mentioned in a few letters. \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions that \n          George [P. Bondurant] (1838-1886) wanted\n         to leave the management of the paper to \n          A.J. Bondurant . \n          Thomas M. Bondurant mentions the paper in\n         a letter (19 Nov 1857) to his son \n          A.J. Bondurant . A letter from \n          George P. Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mentions the \n          Whig again and the \n          Bondurant interests in the paper (22 Mar\n         1896). Local and national politics is found in several letters\n         from \n          E.M. Bondurant to \n          A.J. Bondurant (26 Jul, 27 Sep, 8, 11, 31\n         Oct 1896). Letters from \n          Alexander Lee Bondurant to his father \n          A.J. Bondurant mention local politics and\n         the race for the legislature (25 Oct 1887, 7 May 1889). \n          Thomas M. Bondurant was also concerned\n         with local politics; a letter from \n          J.T. Bocock mentions Sen. \n          Flood and local tax collecting practices\n         and the justice system and how they could be changed (8 Jan\n         1834).","Religion and the \n          Presbyterian Church is also a prominent\n         subject in the correspondence of Rev. \n          James Morrison , pastor of \n          New Providence Presbyterian Church , \n          Rockbridge County, Virginia . The letters\n         from Rev. \n          Elam J.
