Tennessee State Library and Archives MAY, DANIEL (1898-1982) PAPERS 1890-1982 State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 MAY, DANIEL (1898-1982) PAPERS 1890-1982 Processed by: Harry A Stokes Archival Technical Services Accession Number: THS 453 Date Completed: December 19, 1986 Location: V-C-5, 6 Microfilm Accession Number: 1167 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION The Daniel May Papers, 1890-1982, are centered around Daniel May (1898-1982), industrialist and speaker, of Nashville, Tennessee whose father, Jacob May (1861-1946) founded the May Hosiery Mill in Nashville. The Daniel May Papers are a gift of the Daniel May Estate through the agency of Joseph L. May, Trustee. The materials in this collection measure 4.2 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the materials. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the Daniel May Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Daniel May Papers, containing approximately 2200 items, cover the period 1890- 1982, although the bulk of the papers are limited to the years 1945-1974. The collection is composed of accounts, associations – institutions, etc., clippings, correspondence, genealogical data, legal documents, photographs, special categories, speeches, and several miscellaneous items. Daniel May (1898-1982) was an active member of numerous Nashville area civic and educational organizations and served as a director or trustee for many of these associations. For example, he was a member of the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust during the eventful years when the trustees were occupied by such matters as the fraternity system in the 1950s, the student civil rights demonstrations of the 1960s, and the controversial issue of co-ed dormitories in the early 1970s. Correspondence, minutes, printed materials and other related organizational items may be found for the Vanderbilt University Board of Trustees as well as other associations’ policy making boards upon which Dan May actively participated. Clippings regarding Daniel May provide information about various speeches given, awards, and honors received, as well as other activities of his public life. Correspondence, which makes up about one half of the collection, has been arranged into incoming and outgoing sections. Many of the letters of Dan May’s brother, Mortimer May (1892-1974), supply valuable information relative to the operations of the May Hosiery Mill in the years following World War II, as well as the trading in stocks. In general, however, the letters are personal in nature and cover a wide range of topics. Prominent correspondents include Clifford Allen, Howard H. Baker, Jr., Beverly Briley, Bill Brock, Joe C. Carr, Winfield Dunn, Joseph W. Frazer, Richard Fulton, Albert Gore, Sr., Douglas Henry, Jr., Estes Kefauver, Kenneth McKellar, J. Carlton Loser, Richard M. Nixon, J. Percy Priest, Tom Stewart, and Ben West. Genealogical data consists of an unpublished illustrated history of “The May Family” by Dan May and edited by his nephew, Leon May. The family history is written in narrative style and is replete with anecdotes about various May family members. Photographs include several depicting various phases of hosiery production at the May Hosiery Mill. Special categories include the May Corporation, a family owned investment company, and the May Hosiery Mills (Wayne-Gossard Corp). Correspondence pertaining to these two business corporations will be found arranged under these two categories. Known for his ability to make humorous remarks on serious subjects, Dan May as a speaker was in frequent demand. The collection contains copies of twenty-six of his speeches including one of his more popular ones, “How to Create Poverty.” Miscellaneous items in the collection are cards, certificates, court records, estate papers, insurance papers, invitations, legal documents, programs, promissory notes, sketches, taxes, and writings. By providing research information on a longtime twentieth century hosiery industry in Nashville as well as a prominent recent Nashville family, the Daniel May Papers have both economic and social history value.

  • 1 Robert Mcclure Interview on Helen S. Meyner John Kincaid (JK): Good Afternoon. We're at the Meyner Center with Robert Mcclur
    Robert McClure Interview on Helen S. Meyner John Kincaid (JK): Good afternoon. We’re at the Meyner Center with Robert McClure, who worked with Helen Meyner. It is Friday, September 28, 2018, at five after two in the afternoon. Also present is Diane Shaw, who is director of special collections at the library of Lafayette College. Edwin C. Landis, former law partner and friend of Robert Meyner, is here too. I’m John Kincaid, the Meyner Professor and director of the Meyner Center for the Study of State and Local Government. And so Bob, maybe you could begin by just giving us a brief bio so we can situate your work with Helen within the context of your life. Robert McClure (RM): Fair enough. I graduated from Lafayette in May of 1974. My first job out of college was as a cab driver over in Phillipsburg, where my parents lived. Within a week, I, through a family connection and some serendipity, had an interview with Governor Bob Meyner in his Phillipsburg office. Governor Meyner kept Friday morning hours in Phillipsburg even though his main law office with Mr. Landis was in Newark. He would also not only keep law hours but he was on the board of the Phillipsburg National Bank, and they would have board meetings then. So, I go down and I’m interviewed by Governor Bob and, lo and behold, I am hired. RM: I then spent a good portion of the next four-and-a-half years working for Helen. I became the coordinator of the Helen Meyner 1974 congressional campaign for Warren and Sussex counties.

  • Baker V. Carr in Context: 1946-1964
    BAKER V. CARR IN CONTEXT: 1946-1964 Stephen Ansolabehere and Samuel Issacharoff1 Introduction Occasionally in all walks of life, law included, there are breakthroughs that have the quality of truth revealed. Not only do such ideas have overwhelming force, but they alter the world in which they operate. In the wake of such breakthroughs, it is difficult to imagine what existed before. Such is the American conception of constitutional democracy before and after the “Reapportionment Revolution” of the 1960s. Although legislative redistricting today is not without its riddle of problems, it is difficult to imagine so bizarre an apportionment scheme as the way legislative power was rationed out in Tennessee, the setting for Baker v. Carr. Tennessee apportioned power through, in Justice Clark’s words, “a crazy quilt without rational basis.”2 Indeed, forty years after Baker, with “one person, one vote” a fundamental principle of our democracy, it may be hard to imagine what all the constitutional fuss was about. Yet the decision in Baker, which had striking immediate impact, marked a profound transformation in American democracy. The man who presided over this transformation, Chief Justice Earl Warren, called Baker “the most important case of [his] tenure on the Court.”3 Perhaps the simplest way to understand the problem is to imagine the role of the legislator faced with the command to reapportion legislative districts after each decennial Census. Shifts in population mean that new areas of a state are likely to emerge as the dominant forces of a legislature. But what if the power to stem the tide were as simple as refusing to reapportion? It happened at the national level when Congress, realizing that the swelling tide of immigrant and industrial workers had moved power to the Northeast and the Midwest, simply refused to reapportion after the 1920 Census.

  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1940’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1940 (January 3, 1940) The Cookeville City Commission has intentionally allowed the airport’s lease to run out because its location — in a cornfield — did not qualify it for a $150,000 federal grant needed to build a new facility. (January 11, 1940) Members of the Putnam County Court vowed to do better and begin collecting past due property taxes after local attorney Worth Bryant blasted the magistrates. He said some long past due taxes are not uncollectible due to the statute of limitations. The magistrates asked County Judge B. C. Huddleston and County Attorney W. K. Crawford to begin filing suites against landowners whose taxes are overdue. (January 11, 1940) There is no Cookeville Airport this week. The city commission let the lease run out. It was intentional. The city has been leasing a corn field two miles north of Cookeville for an airport, but there’s a move afoot to get a federal grant of up to $150,000 to build a full•fledged air facility with a first class runway. But the corn field doesn’t qualify for the grant, so the city commission decided to let it go while looking for a better site. Cookeville has high hopes for its airport. The city lies under the intersection of east•west and north•south air mail routes. “Planes fly over the city at frequent intervals during the day and night,” says the newspaper.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
