INTRODUCTION The Mayfield Papers, containing approximately six cubic feet, span the years 1895 to 1929. The collection consists of both business and personal letters of the Mayfield family, although the bulk of the material is centered on the family's law office. The Maxwell law firm was founded by Pearson Brummett Mayfield (1832-1904) Mayfield maintained an extensive general practice as well as serving as legal counsel for the Ducktown Copper Company and the East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia Railroad. After the addition of two of his sons, the name of the firm was changed to Mayfield and Mayfield. Among the firm's prominent clients were the East Tennessee Power Company, the Southern Railway, and the Ducktown Copper Company. The collection's subject matter included the building of Parksville Dam, Polk County's "Smoke Suits", debt collections, title searches, personal injury cases, and estate settlements. Also included is the correspondence of Samuel J. Aiken, who practiced with the Mayfields until his death in 1901. The collection is arranged in chronological order and then in alphabetical order within each folder. The container list contains an index of the principals mentioned in the law firm's correspondence. It contains a brief description of the subject and a file folder reference to the original documents. This collection is a microfilm only collection and is the property of the Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland, Tennessee.

George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

    Simsbury Free Library Quarterly Volume 21 Issue 4 Spring-Summer 2015 The Neighborhood House in Weatogue Part 2: Antecedents in the Work of Weatogue’s Three Ministers The preceding part of this article dealt with the founding of Weatogue’s Neighborhood House in 1905, the moving and refurbishing of the donated building and a sampling of the dinners and cultural programs given in the house. This second part will explore some of the events that preceded the founding of this institution, which was dedicated to the wellbeing of all residents of the community and town. In the early twentieth century, the Weatogue section of the town of Simsbury was fertile ground for the planting of an institution that had for its mission the assimilation of recent immigrants and the betterment of society's less fortunate peoples. Rev. Charles Pitman Croft and his wife Julia Mather Croft were the prime movers behind this effort, but they were substantially aided by many in Simsbury who had generous natures and either time or money to be of help. It was particularly fortunate that there were two other Protestant ministers living in close proximity, who, like Rev. Croft, were not pastors of any church, and who helped each other in their chosen civic projects. These were the Reverends Horace Winslow and D. Stuart Dodge and they arrived in Weatogue and Bushy Hill, respectively, in the early 1880s. Rev. Horace Winslow (1814-1905) was the eldest. Born in Massachusetts, he earned his Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, and attended the Theological Seminary at Auburn and the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
