Lake Placid Collection Guide Public Library Collections Sno Birds
Lake Placid Club Archives Agency History/Biographical Note: “The Sno Birds are an intra-Club body of the Lake Placid Club formally recognized as such under Club Bylaws...Enrollment is limited to Club members and resident Club guests.” (procedure notice to employees from George C. Carroll, as Secretary of Sno Birds, SB-1A, folder “Sno Birds Information”.)
The Sno Birds were one of the most famous winter sports groups in America. The group was organized in 1920 to encourage participation in winter sports among members and guests of Lake placid Club. The Sno Birds became a leading force in the nationwide development of recreational and competitive winter sports. The Sno Birds (with the efforts of Godfrey Dewey) took the lead in bringing the 1932 Winter Olympic Games to Lake Placid. (Information taken from a brochure entitled “The Sno Birds invite you”, SB-1A, folder “Sno Birds Information”.)

LPC Activities: Summer/Fall Description:
The miscellaneous activities files in the series contain 2 Boxes reservation books, sample mailings, schedules, Catalog Number: maps, clippings, by-laws, booklets, pamphlets, SB-9A, 9B programs, correspondence, committee reports and minutes, financial reports, memoranda, telegrams, Inclusive Dates: and invoices dating from 1912 to 1977. 1910-1983 These files probably came from the Secretary’s office. They deal with the planning and implementation of activities (including hiring staff, arranging guest lecturers) from sporting events to fund raisers. Arrangement is by event, chronological within event.
The golf related files of the series contain correspondence, memoranda, photos, maps, blueprints, sample mailings, reservation lists, financial data, ledgers, score sheets (some 1932), golf booklets (1910), clippings, and contracts, most of which dates between 1950 and 1983.
These files cover the development of the golfhouses and courses at LPC as well as the sport itself. Apart from the very early ledgers, score sheets and booklets, the coverage begins from 1950. The majority of the material documents planning and marketing of tournaments and functions, renovations, and updates to the facilities. This material continues through the early 1980s. Arrangement is not discernible.
There is a sample file of daily golf and tennis receipts from 1978.
The files on Skeet and Trap contain sample mailings, programs, rules, certificates, correspondence and memoranda from the 1940s through the 1970s.
The section on Pioneer Suppers includes menus, clippings, reservation lists, correspondence, programs, memoranda, and guest lists.
These files were ultimately kept by George Carroll as the director of Public Relations and Publicity
30
(previous to becoming LPC Secretary). He probably gathered the material from early years to keep with this series, or at least re-foldered it for his own use in arranging the Suppers each year. The master lists show the individual guest’s date of first attendance at Lake Placid Club. A Pioneer was a member whose first visit to the Club had been made twenty or more years previous. Files for each year contain menus and show various arrangements made for that year’s dinner. The files are labeled by year but are not in chronological order.

Lake Placid Club Archives
Agency History/Biographical Note:
The Lake Placid Company “ was the business corporation organized to finance the Club; it owned all property, took all financial risks, issued securities, and assumed responsibility for all liabilities. ..The Club...rented what the Company owned;...Individual Club members were encouraged to purchase Company-issued bonds or nonvoting preferred stock aimed at improving the physical plant...” (Wayne A.Weigand, Irrepressible Reformer: A Biography of Melvil Dewey, American Library Association 1996, p. 316).
“The Lake Placid Company is a New York Business Corporation, which owns title to all the physical properties of Lake Placid Club and operates these properties under a contract with the Club, for the exclusive benefit and use of Club members and their guests...The Lake Placid Company owns and operates the plant and attends to every detail which enters into the business of a great recreational center, an all-the-year resort of the highest quality. The Company is charged, however, with an ultimate responsibility which cannot be fully expressed in dollars and cents. Its policies must be formed in the light of the governing purposes of the entire institution; and it must therefore help to perpetuate the simplicity and wholesomeness of Club life, to protect it against enervating and disfiguring influences from without, and to enable it to support constructive influences proceeding from its own activities.” (Report of a Special Committee of the Board of Trustees--March 1947--entitled “The Lake Placid Club Education Foundation”, p. 9) LPCo is a stock Corporation, established by Club Founders in 1900.

Agency History/Biographical Note:
In 1955, an individual filed a complaint against the Lake Placid Club/Robert F. Warner Agency (booked conventions for LPC) for religious discrimination. The New York State Commission Against Discrimination investigated, and dismissed the complaint on grounds that LPC was a private club and not subject to the State Law against discrimination. The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith filed an appeal and the investigations and publicity continued for years.

Lake Placid Series Descriptions Public Library Collections Administration
Lake Placid Club Archives Godfrey Dewey
Godfrey Dewey Description:
8 Boxes This series contains correspondence, memoranda, Catalog Number: catalogs, deeds, maps, building plans, mortgage SB-26A - H transfers, contracts, blueprints, clippings, flyers, brochures, appraisals, financial statements and studies of operations, Club properties data (farms, Kobl Klub, creamery, etc. ), procedures and materials on Club celebrations and holidays, laws and codes, financial and other reports and analyses, Inclusive Dates: booklets, magazines (Lake Placid Club Life 1965), 1897-1973 documents of LPC incorporation (1897), photos, telegrams, directories, sketches, clippings, songbooks, minutes (LPC Stores Directors’ Meetings), and promotional material.
These were the records kept by Godfrey Dewey, both in his role as a Trustee and as a member of the founding family. The series appears to be part operations file, part correspondence file (correspondence files found are “E” - “M” and are from the 1950s - 1960s), part subject file, and part personal file. It is not clear whether these all originated in some type of larger cohesive file, or if they were created and maintained separately. The series reveals aspects of all LPC operations covering everything from daily activities to laws and governance; buildings and grounds information and plans, as well as public relations, development, and business files. In addition, there are files related to various Dewey reform issues such as Simpler Spelling ( including a series of files of Simpler Spelling handouts, pamphlets, and handbook sections), the World Calendar, the metric system, Decimal Classification, a Club Classification booklet (an original that is in fragile condition) which was a key to file organization at LPC, and to other Dewey business ventures (Lake Placid Club Florida). There are some Melvil Dewey and Godfrey Dewey (biographical material) files. Local matters (schools, hospital, etc.) were of interest to LPC and are covered here as well. This series probably covered the entire time period Godfrey Dewey was associated with Lake Placid Club (the very early material may have come from his father). There is some form of alphabetical arrangement in many sections of the files, perhaps 81 using Lindsley’s Tachigraphy, which was a form of shorthand used by the Deweys. Other sections of files are headed with subject headings, or are traditionally alphabetized.

Lake Placid Collection Guide Public Library Collections Melvil Dewey Years Through 1934
Lake Placid Club Archives Agency History/Biographical Note:
The "General Transfer File through 1934" covers the years 1902 - 1935. These were the Melvil Dewey (Founder and President) years and these files contain the correspondence of Dewey and the other Club officials of the time including Asa Gallup in the positions of Manager and Treasurer; Deo Colburn as Treasurer and Vice-President; Godfrey Dewey as Vice-President and Secretary; Harry Wade Hicks as Secretary; J. Chester Jubin as Treasurer and Assistant Cashier; George Martin as Sports Director; Emily B. Dewey as Vice-President; and various other officials from Lake Placid Club Stores and Lake Placid Club Notes. The files are almost exclusively Lake Placid Club files, but include a few incidental Lake Placid Education Foundation and Lake Placid Company-related files. They are also mainly correspondence, with purchase orders, bills and contracts incorporated.
The majority of the correspondence is financial in nature, dealing with stocks, bonds and mortgage notes; Club membership dues and expenses; merchandise orders and bills; and solicitations for funds by Dewey. The correspondence indicates that the Club struggled with financial problems throughout the entire time period covered by these files. Dewey played a leading role in attempts to persuade creditors to extend the notes, or to invest additional capital. Many letters were appeals to the Membership and others for loans and cash gifts. Much correspondence was with various collection agents assigned to secure remittance from the Club for long-overdue bills, and those still unpaid often ended up in the courts resulting in much legal correspondence.
Additionally, the files contain personal Dewey correspondence dealing with Library issues, "DC" or, Decimal Classification and Simplified Spelling. The letters of Melvil Dewey, Godfrey Dewey, and several other officials are written using Simplified Spelling. There is also extensive coverage of many membership issues, including the arrangement of sporting activities. Secretary Harry Wade Hicks, as a member of the Board of Directors of the USEASA (United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association), 111
kept thorough records of that organization. The USEASA files in this series are continued in subsequent series. Hicks played a key role in the development of skiing in North America. The container list shows numerous references to "chaplaincies". Hicks invited ministers from all over the U.S. and Canada to take these short- term (week-end or week-long) chaplaincies in exchange for a few days stay at the Club. These arrangements were made year-round, as there was no resident minister at the Club. Of local historical interest are the well-documented real estate transactions in Essex County in which the Club was involved.
The alphabetical file organization established by the Club staff has been maintained. The correspondence of all officials is filed together in this general file. Letters to individuals representing business firms or organizations are often filed under the individual's last name rather than under the name of the corporation represented. There is a gap in the alphabetical headings from "C" through the middle of “E". These missing files may have been misfiled during the physical moving of the cabinets following the first sale of the Club.

Lake Placid Collection Guide Public Library Collections General Name File 1941-1943
Lake Placid Club Archives Agency History/Biographical Note:
The “General Name File 1941-43” is a continuation of the correspondence of LPClub officials. Samuel H. Packer remains as General Manager and Vice-president, Harry Wade Hicks as Secretary, and Karl de Silva as Assistant to the Secretary. R. Edgerton is now Packer’s Assistant. These files contain letters, memoranda and telegrams between club officials and club members, as well as showing the activity of the Lake Placid Club Stores.
World War II had begun and there is evidence throughout the series of the war’s effect on the Club’s business. Members visited less frequently; there were labor shortages due the number of men enlisting; and many purveyors were forced to produce supplies strictly for the war effort, thereby becoming unable to serve their regular retail customers. Gas and sugar were rationed, and transportation by rail was limited. Packer kept running correspondence with other resort managers to compare business and war-related problems. There is a lot of correspondence between the Club officers and enlisted men, and many war-procedure files, such as “Blackout Info”, “Sugar Rationing”, etc.
This series follows the patterns of the previous Administrative series; it covers the activities, sporting events, and competitions, the arrangement of chaplaincies and entertainment, and continues HWH’s USEASA and ADK files. There is an alphabetical arrangement that shows a gap in the “B” section, and misfilings are prominent as in previous series.

Lake Placid Collection Guide Public Library Collections Extension of Indebtedness Plan 1933 and Reorganization 1938 Lake Placid Club Archives Agency History/Biographical Note:
From Lake Placid Company Reorganization Committee’s letter “To the Security Holders of Lake Placid Company: Nov. 25, 1938 ...When the voluntary Plan and Agreement for Extension of Indebtedness was promulgated in the summer of 1933, it was fully recognized that there would become due in the years 1939 and 1940 bonded indebtedness in the principal amount of $575,000, viz., $464,000 of First Refunding Mortgage Bonds and $111,000 of Series C, general Mortgage Bonds. It was felt, however, that the Plan then adopted would best conserve the good-will of the Company’s security holders, creditors and of outlying real estate not necessary for the operation or privacy of the Club, would enable the Company to build up a cash reserve to meet, at least in part, these maturing obligations.
Unfortunately these obligations were not realized in full; but the voluntary Plan was effective in that it carried the Club through a difficult economic period of greatly depressed earnings and enabled the Company to show a moderate operating profit before depreciation in each of the five years since then, and, in addition, to reduce substantially its funded indebtedness, as it existed after giving effect to the Plan...”
The committee proposed a new plan to raise capital through the sale of new Mortgage Bonds, made senior lien to all existing bonds, and asked all security holders to agree to extend payment of their notes, reduce the per annum interest, and to waive all provisions, back interest, and rights to credits under the 1933 Plan, in order to avoid foreclosure.
“The Committee, deeming it for the best interests of the debtor and its affiliates, filed a petition for reorganization under the Chandler Act, the petition was approved...”
The Chandler Act was an amendment to the bankruptcy laws, based upon the feeling that 77B (the Bankruptcy Act) made reorganization too easy for the debtor, at the expense of the creditor’s rights. The Chandler Act required a court appointed independent trustee, and an independent attorney 156
for the trustee; the preparation of a plan by said trustee; new assent from all creditors to the court-approved plan; possible SEC intervention; and requirement of proofs of claim. LPCo took into consideration all of these obstacles, but filed its petition under Chapter X of the Chandler Act as a last resort, to avoid foreclosure.

Collections Chandler Act Reorganization 1938 Lake Placid Club Archives Agency History/Biographical Note:
From Lake Placid Company Reorganization Committee’s letter “To the Security Holders of Lake Placid Company: Nov. 25, 1938
...When the voluntary Plan and Agreement for Extension of Indebtedness was promulgated in the summer of 1933, it was fully recognized that there would become due in the years 1939 and 1940 bonded indebtedness in the principal amount of $575,000, viz., $464,000 of First Refunding Mortgage Bonds and $111,000 of Series C, general Mortgage Bonds. It was felt, however, that the Plan then adopted would best conserve the good-will of the Company’s security holders, creditors and employees, many of the latter of whom were also creditors; and it was expected confidently that there would be substantial improvement in general business conditions which, with the proceeds of sale of outlying real estate not necessary for the operation or privacy of the Club, would enable the Company to build up a cash reserve to meet, at least in part, these maturing obligations.
Unfortunately these obligations were not realized in full; but the voluntary Plan was effective in that it carried the Club through a difficult economic period of greatly depressed earnings and enabled the Company to show a moderate operating profit before depreciation in each of the five years since then, and, in addition, to reduce substantially its funded indebtedness, as it existed after giving effect to the Plan...”
The committee proposed a new plan to raise capital through the sale of new Mortgage Bonds, made senior lien to all existing bonds, and asked all security holders to agree to extend payment of their notes, reduce the per annum interest, and to waive all provisions, back interest, and rights to credits under the 1933 Plan, in order to avoid foreclosure.
“The Committee, deeming it for the best interests of the debtor and its affiliates, filed a petition for reorganization under the Chandler Act, the petition was approved...”
The Chandler Act was an amendment to the bankruptcy laws, based upon the feeling that 77B 165
(the Bankruptcy Act) made reorganization too easy for the debtor, at the expense of the creditor’s independent trustee, and an independent attorney for the trustee; the preparation of a plan by said trustee; new assent from all creditors to the court-approved plan; possible SEC intervention; and requirement of proofs of claim. LPCo took into consideration all of these obstacles, but filed its petition under Chapter X of the Chandler Act as a last resort, to avoid foreclosure.
