I t is the duty of your Trustee to act to conserve the principal and at the same time obtain for your heirs an income commensurate with safety. The management of trust investments is an important part of the work of this Trust Institution. We make no profit or commission of any kind from trans­ actions in securities under our care as Trustee. Our first duty is to the maker of the trust in carrying out his wishes. Of equal importance is our duty to admin­ ister to trust solely in the interest of beneficiaries. Group discussions govern each purchase or sale and decisions are based on careful studies of markets, values and trends after impartial sifting of statistical tnformation, reports and opinions. Frequent reVIew of holdings keeps these factors up-to-date. We shall be glad to explain how our long experience in this and other phases of trust work will give your family continuing financial protection when your guidance is no longer available.

The Future of Archival History James O"Toole More than a dozen years ago, the archival educator and writer Richard Cox outlined the development of American archival history and offered some suggestions for the work that still needed to be done in that field .1 Drawing on a range of publications, from the obscure to the well-known , he surveyed a century of writing in this country on the history of the archives profession, its people, and its institutions, as that history had appeared in monographs and in scholarly journals of state, regional, and national circulation. For all the output, however, Cox concluded that the coverage was uneven in terms of quantity and quality, a "truly lamentable" situation that left us as archivists with virtually everything yet to be known about the history and meaning of what we do.

The carillon is located in Rush Rhees Library on the University of Rochester campus. Students with keyboard background have proven they can learn carillon quickly, usually making rapid progress through a semester lesson series, starting on the practice carillon and progressing to playing the bells in tower. Our carillon is a 50 bell instrument played from a baton and pedal console from the desk of using hands and feet. Any carillon is defined as a chromatic, touch sensitive tuned bell instrument in chromatic sequence numbered above 23 bells. Music notation looks similar to DORIS piano music, in both treble and bass clef. This carillon tour is intended to educate our students, acquainting them with this world culture instrument. The tour is also meant to AMAN introduce the carillon to new players from our community. Adjunct Faculty, carillon Carillons are located in many of the universities of North American, including Ivy League and University of Rochester other top level achievement schools. Can you imagine the interview talking points for River Campus Music Department students announcing they play carillon to admissions officials of such schools? For our adult [email protected] community members, the carillon offers a fun “hands on” way to serve the campus community on a public instrument. Carillons need intergenerational carillon players.

  • Emily Sibley Watson (1855-1945)
    Emily Sibley Watson (1855-1945) Emily Sibley Watson was a Rochester grand dame who lives on in most people’s imaginations, if she lives on at all, as a staid and starchy dowager. However, archival materials tell a different and vital story, one about a vibrant girl who grew to be a devoted daughter, wife and mother, steadfast friend, intrepid traveler, and compassionate and generous philanthropist. At the same time, as materials have migrated from one generation to the next and into widely separated archives, there are limits to our understanding and interpretation. Still, it is a story filled with adventure, celebration, and tragedy, and its arc overlaps and intersects with the growth of the city famous for Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and George Eastman. She remains one of Rochester’s least well-known individuals, overshadowed by the accomplishments of her father and son1, but her gifts to the community have put Rochester on the cultural map for over one hundred years. Emily Sibley Watson in later life Born in 1855, Emily Sibley Watson made her ar- rival around the time that her father, Hiram Sib- ley, was consolidating the Western Union Company. The youngest of four children, and one of only two to survive beyond the 1860s, her life bore only slight resemblance to that of her elder sister, Louise Sibley Atkinson (1833- 1868). Louise spent her earliest years in rural Monroe County, traveled exclusively within the New York/New England region, went to school in Canandaigua, and fretted about expenses. Emily, twenty-two years young- er, was born into immense wealth and privilege and access to the highest levels of culture and society.

  • Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings
    Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings The Directory of Institutions is the first part of a continuation of the Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada, published in 1935 and 1937, and its 1962 Supplement.1 The present Directory details, when known, the current location of the collections listed in the original Census and Supplement, and identifies an additional 281 North American repositories of pre-1600 European manuscripts in Western languages that were not included in the earlier works. For all of the 475 North American repositories, this Directory provides updated contact data and general information on pre-1600 manuscript holdings. Detailed descriptions of individual manuscripts are outside the scope of this Directory, but bibliographical references to published catalogues and internet addresses giving access to on-line cataloguing records are provided when available. Following the organizational scheme of the original Census and Supplement, the Directory entries are organized alphabetically by State and City, with public collections listed first for each city, followed by private. (Due to privacy issues, modern private collections are not included). As in the original publications, the Canadian Provinces are found in a separate listing at the end of the directory. We would like to thank the hundreds of individuals who have contributed to this updated directory through their gathering and sharing of information regarding the whereabouts of pre- 1600 manuscripts in North American collections. To keep this information current, we ask that any updates or corrections be reported to us at [email protected].

  • Founding Brothers: Leland, Buck, and Cappon and the Formation of the Archives Profession
    S E ss ION 404 Founding Brothers: Leland, Buck, and Cappon and the Formation of the Archives Profession Richard J. Cox, Charles Dollar, Rebecca Hirsch, and Peter J. Wosh Abstract This session on archives history examines the role of three individuals—Waldo G. Leland (1879–1966), Solon J. Buck (1884–1962), and Lester J. Cappon (1900–1981)—in the forma- tion of the archives profession in the United States in the first three-quarters of the twentieth century. These “founding brothers” published extensively, but they also created and main- tained personal manuscript collections that reflect how they viewed themselves and how they wanted to be remembered. Four archivists/historians track through the lenses of the papers of the “founding brothers” the emergence of professional history to the beginnings of public history with their alliance and tension with archival science as a distinct profession. Introduction Rebecca Hirsch one of the men—Waldo Gifford Leland, Solon J. Buck, and Lester J. NCappon—discussed in this session fall neatly into the “archival science” box, yet they were all influential in shaping the practice, theory, and identity of the modern American archival profession. Waldo Leland was never a practicing archivist or a traditional historian, but he spent much of his life working with the sources from which history is written. Solon Buck, on the other hand, had a Session 404 at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Society of American Archivists, Chicago, Illinois, Friday, 26 August 2011. Rebecca Hirsch chaired this session, and the speakers were Peter J. Wosh, Charles Dollar, and Richard J.

    Joel Seligman Report to the Faculty Senate October 18, 2016 Let me frame where we are in strategic terms and conclude by highlighting that we now are ready to ascend to the Next Level. Background [Opening SLIDE] We have come a long way since 2005 when we began together. [SLIDE 2] In 2004, we had 8,300 students; we now have more than 11,100 students, an increase of more than 33 percent. [SLIDE 3] Our average two-score-equivalent SAT for undergraduates in Arts, Sciences and Engineering has risen from 1304 in 2004 to 1391 today, an increase from the 87th to the 96th percentile. [SLIDE 4] We have grown from 2,009 faculty and instructional staff in 2004 to 2,560 today. [SLIDE 5] Our budget has grown from $1.66 billion in 2004 to $3.63 billion today. [SLIDE 6] Our endowment payout has decreased from 6.9 percent in 2000 to 5.7 percent this year. [SLIDE 7] We have grown from 20,041 full- and part-time employees in 2005 to 28,923 full- and part-time employees in 2016. [SLIDE 8] Where we once had two hospitals, we now have a six- hospital system as well as Accountable Health Partners with 1,940 providers, five urgent care centers, and three ambulatory care centers. 2 [SLIDE 9] The Meliora Challenge capital campaign concluded on June 30 of this year, raising more than $1.373 billion, 14 percent above our initial $1.2 billion goal.
