    CHAPTER 5—1857 1ST JAN. A melancholy New Year’s Day. Ann was borne from the hearse to the grave by two of her own brothers and two of John’s, Harry and Charles Ingersoll 1 and Emlen 2 and myself. I find my broth- er with more resignation than I had hoped to see.... *** [JAN. 1 CONT.] I went in the afternoon, at 51⁄2 p.m. to New York, reach- ing there at 10 p.m. I took lodgings, as usual, at the Metropolitan. [JAN.] 2ND. I went to see a piece of sculpture by Mr. Vandevelde, 3 who desires to undertake some of Crawford’s statues. It is at Goupils. 4 I was not much pleased with the design, though the work is well cut. I called upon Janes and Beebe and went with them to the foundry and saw the work now doing for the gallery fronts and for the cornice of the dome. Upon arrival of the next load of castings, already shipped from New York, they will come on and put up the gallery fronts of the House of Representatives. I went to the Palmer Gallery of Marbles. They are exhibited in the room formerly occupied by the Duesseldorf Collection in the Church of the Divine Unity. They are very beautiful. The artists criticize Mr. Palmer’s anatomy in the figure of the Indian girl, 5 but it is a very beautiful figure. Most of his works on exhibition are busts and lllll figures in medallions. They show great power of expres- sion and great skill in manipulation.

Angels in the Home: Adelicia Acklen’s Sculpture Collection at Belmont Mansion, Nashville, Tennessee Lauren Lessing Following the Civil War, the wealthy plantation owner Adelicia Acklen redecorated her villa, Belmont, near Nashville, Tennessee, with white marble ideal sculptures by the American sculptors Randolph Rogers, Chauncey Ives, Joseph Mozier, and William Rinehart. During the war, Acklen had compromised her reputation as a genteel Southern lady by bargaining with Union officers in order to sell her cotton at exorbitant wartime rates. By purchasing and displaying a collection of statues that embodied the ideal of true womanhood, Acklen hoped to publicly redomesticate both her home and herself and to express her affinity for the ideology of the Lost Cause. N JUNE of 1865, Adelicia Acklen, a forty-six- passing curiosity about American sculpture.

Every day here, history is made and preserved for future generations. Nothing better embodies this idea than the National Statuary Hall Collection. These statues of our heroes and pioneers, carefully chosen by each state, tell the story of our past and inspire us as we build our future. Everyone has his or her favorite statues. Mine include Norman Borlaug of Iowa, the scientist known as ”the man who saved a billion lives.” There’s also Jeannette Rankin of Montana, the first woman ever elected to Congress. And there’s “Fighting Bob” La Follette of my home state of Wisconsin, whose statue I pass every day on the way to my office. This collection started in our old House Chamber; now it spans the whole building.

  • Harriet Hosmer (1830–1908): Fame, Photography, and the American “Sculptress”
    Harriet Hosmer (1830–1908): Fame, Photography, and the American “Sculptress” by Margo Lois Beggs A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Margo Lois Beggs 2013 Harriet Hosmer (1830–1908): Fame, Photography, and the American “Sculptress” Margo Lois Beggs Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2013 Abstract “Harriet Hosmer (1830–1908): Fame, Photography, and the American ‘Sculptress’” is a case study inspired by one nineteenth-century sculptor’s career and a rare body of photographs showcasing the artist and her work. The American neoclassical sculptor Harriet Hosmer came of age near Boston, where she began her early artistic training. In 1852, at the age of twenty-two, she moved to Rome to further her career as a sculptor. Soon after, she became the most famous woman sculptor of her period. Her friends and patrons included Anglo- American literary figures, women’s rights activists, wealthy Americans, British aristocracy, and European royalty. This study asks what, if anything, photography had to do with Harriet Hosmer’s rise to fame. Hosmer’s life and work have been subject to much scholarly commentary in recent decades, with several writers attempting to account for her unprecedented international renown as a female sculptor. None of these writers, however, has centred an investigation on photography’s intervention in Hosmer’s career. This study foregrounds the intersection of ii sculpture and photography as it relates to Hosmer’s rapid rise in the mid-nineteenth-century artistic firmament. A substantial part of the dissertation undertakes a careful analysis of photographs depicting Hosmer and her work, as well as related archival materials, highlighting the ways in which Hosmer joined forces with commercial photographers to engineer her career success.

  • Trinity College Alumni News, February 1947
    TRINITY COLLEGE Alumni News February· 1947 • The following letter was received by President Funston from Vannevar H. Bush, who received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science last june. As you know, Dr. Bush is President of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and a leading scientist in the development of the atomic bomb. "The development program which Trinity College is undertaking in connection with its one hundred twenty,fifth anniversary commands attention and interest both as warranty of the continued flourishing of the College and as testimony to the vital importance of liberal arts education today. "The need, responsibility, and opportunity for liberal education - for the general adaptiveness of mind which liberal studies inculcate - never were greater than now. For the successful operation of a civilization so complex and delicately interrelated as ours, we require not only expert specialists with their alert concentration on particular necessities, but also men deeply sensible of the basic principles of right action in the affairs of men and swiftly responsive to them. The enduring truths of the relation of man to his world, to himself, and to other men bulk their largest in the disciplines with which liberal education is concerned. It is imperative - as new demands for com pre, hension of these truths confront us - that liberal arts colleges such as Trinity be strong! y prepared to do their full share in the education of men of good will."
