William Gibbs McAdoo Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Gift of Doris Cross McAdoo, October 1998. Biographical Note William Gibbs McAdoo (1863-1941) was born in Marietta, Georgia, on 31 October 1863 to Mary Faith (Floyd) McAdoo and William Gibbs McAdoo. He was a practicing lawyer in both Chattanooga, Tennessee and New York City after passing the bar in 1885. William Gibbs McAdoo developed and oversaw the construction of the Hudson River Tunnels, acting as president of the company which operated them from 1902-1913. He served as vice chairman for the Democratic National Committee in 1912 and as a delegate for the Democratic National Convention in the years 1912, 1932, and 1936. McAdoo was also a member of President Woodrow Wilson's cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury from March 1913 to December 1918. He was Director-General of the United States Railroads during World War I from December 1917 to January 1919. One interesting fact about McAdoo that is little known is that he was the leading candidate for the Presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in 1920. He was a United States senator from California from 1933 until his resignation in 1936. He was then an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1938. McAdoo was first married to Sarah Hazlehurst Fleming in 1885. His second wife was the daughter of President Woodrow Wilson, Eleanor Wilson, and they were married in 1914 but divorced at a later date. McAdoo's third wife was Doris Cross, whom he married in September 1935. William Gibbs McAdoo died of a heart attack on 1 February 1941 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Fort Meyer, Virginia. Scope and Content The collection consists of letters, photographs and clippings related to the life and political career of William Gibbs McAdoo. Much of the McAdoo correspondence deals with his public appearances and engagements as a United States Senator and also his failed attempt at re-election in 1938. Also of interest is McAdoo's involvement with the first Pan-American flight in 1936 and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's campaign trip to California in July 1938. There are also materials related to McAdoo's involvement with the Liberty Bond Act during World War I and the construction and management of the Hudson River Tunnels. The earlier materials are letters to and from William Gibbs McAdoo's grandfather, Charles R. Floyd, chiefly dating William Gibbs McAdoo Papers: mssMcAdoo papers 2 Finding Aid from 1823 to 1845. Many of the letters are from his wife, Sophie Floyd, but of note are a few letters from Thomas Butler King. Persons represented in the collection include: John Anson Ford, J. Edgar Hoover, Cordell Hull, Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, Doris Cross McAdoo, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. Arrangement The collection is arranged in the following order: • Material relating to WGM while Director-General of US Railroads during World War I, 1918-1919 (Box 1) • Correspondence of Charles Floyd (grandfather of WGM), bulk 1823-1945 (Box 2) • William Gibbs McAdoo Papers (Box 3-11) • Oversize Materials (Box 12, 1 folder, and 3 volumes) Note: the materials in Box 3-11 are organized broadly by year, but individual items do not follow strict chronological arrangement and there is date overlap among boxes.

An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

SCHULTE NORDHOLT NOOR D-HOLLAN DSCH E UITG EVERS MAATSCHAPPIJ - AMSTER DAM/OXFORD/N EW VORK - 1987 ISBN 0-444-85677-3 IN VERKORTE VORM UITGESPROKEN IN DE VERGADERING VAN 9 MAART 1987 Staat u mij toe te beginnen met een paar citaten. Want als ik het over rhetoriek heb en zelfs voorop stel dat ik die rhetoriek raadselachtig vind, dan moet ik eerst met voorbeelden komen. Woodrow Wilson is aan het woord, we zijn aan het einde van de eerste wereldoorlog, het verschrikke­ lijke drama nadert zijn ontknoping en tegelijk, daarmee vervlochten, lijkt ook het leven van de Amerikaanse president tot een dramatische climax te komen. Hijzelf ziet het allemaal in zeer groot perspectief, het drama dat nu voltooid wordt is het drama van de hele wereldgeschiedenis en wat er gaat volgen is waarl~jk de katharsis. Daar is dan ook heel wat rhetoriek voor nodig. Hij zegt bij voorbeeld, en dat is mijn eerste voorbeeld, de datum is 4 juli 1918, de zomer van het laatste oorlogsjaar, de verjaardag van Ameri­ ka's onafhankelijkheid: "This, then, is our conception of the great strugg­ Ie in which we are engaged. The plot is written plain upon every scene and every act of the supreme tragedy. On the one hand stand the peoples of the world - not only the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot act; peoples of many races and in every part of the world - the pcople of stricken Russia still, among the rest, though they are for the moment unorganized and helpless.

  • T HE Policies of Few Presidents in American History Have Re
    WOODROW WILSON'S PLAN FOR A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE By KURT WIMER* T HE policies of few presidents in American history have re- Tmained as obscure as those of Woodrow Wilson, especially towards the end of 1919 and the beginning of 1920. Wilson lay ill in the White House. Hardly anyone had access to him except members of his immediate family and his physician. In the absence of frank information about his condition, countless rumors arose including claims that a "regency council" was in charge of the gov- ernment. On the basis of evidence now available a re-evaluation of presidential policies during this period seems indicated. Woodrow Wilson, stricken with cerebral thrombosis on October 2, 1919, had recovered sufficiently by mid-December to attend to urgent governmental matters.1 While his physician advised the President to avoid matters causing excitement, it was characteristic of Wilson to give much attention to the issue of the League of Nations even though it taxed his energies and retarded his re- covery.' In the weeks following the first adverse vote on the *Dr. Winier is Professor of Social Studies at East Stroudsburg State Col- lege and has written a number of articles on Woodrow Wilson. He has re- cently been awarded a Rockefeller Grant for the year 1961-62 to do further research on Wilson's political philosophy. This article was completed with the help of a summer grant from the Penrose Fund of The American Phil- osophical Society. Students of Pennsylvania history will be particularly interested in the light which the article throws on the relations between Wilson and his Attornev General, A.

    Public Service, International Affairs and Rockefeller Philanthropy: Papers of Raymond Fosdick PUBLIC SERVICE, INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND ROCKEFELLER PHILANTHROPY The Papers of Raymond Blaine Fosdick (1883-1972) from the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, Princeton University Contents listing PUBLISHER'S NOTE TECHNICAL NOTE NOTE ON CITATION CONTENTS OF REELS INDEX TO SERIALIZED CORRESPONDENCE Public Service, International Affairs and Rockefeller Philanthropy: Papers of Raymond Fosdick Publisher's Note “The Papers of Raymond B Fosdick (1883-1972) are an invaluable resource for students of American political, social, and diplomatic history and also for those interested in the history of philanthropy. Fosdick was a gentlemanly social reformer who became a lifelong disciple of Woodrow Wilson. His papers cover his entire career from the First World War until his death in 1972. They contain in particular a treasure trove of material on the inter-war American movement to enter or at least cooperate with the League of Nations, containing extensive correspondence with all the important figures involved in that enterprise. His papers provide unique insight into American internationalism between the wars and also its relationship to the interlocked worlds of big business and philanthropy. Throughout his life, Fosdick was also a dedicated social reformer, and his papers contain much material on this aspect of his career, especially on movements and organisations based in New York City and State. The Fosdick Papers shed interesting light upon the sometimes complicated links between American reformers and interwar internationalism. Fosdick’s association with the Rockefeller Foundation, an institution of which he was a trustee for many years before becoming its president from 1936 to 1948, dated back to the First World War, as did his personal closeness to the Rockefeller family.

  • PINCI V. TWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX FILM CORP
    95 F.Supp. 884 (1951) PINCI v. TWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX FILM CORP. Civ. No. 29-250. United States District Court S. D. New York. February 26, 1951. Emerson L. Simon, New York City (Julian I. Bergoffen, New York City, of counsel), for plaintiff. Dwight, Royall, Harris, Koegel & Caskey, New York City (Whitman Knapp, Vincent L. Broderick, New York City, of counsel), for defendant. SAMUEL H. KAUFMAN, District Judge. This is an action for damages for infringement of a copyrighted play and for an accounting by defendant. Jurisdiction is based on 17 U.S.C.A. § 34 and 28 U.S. C.A. § 1338. In 1929, a copyright was issued to plaintiff covering a play entitled "Woodrow Wilson". This play was never published or produced. Between 1942 and 1944 defendant made a motion picture called "Wilson", and this picture was publicly distributed some time after 1944. Both the play and the motion picture attempt to portray events in the life and times of the late President Woodrow Wilson. Insofar as these two works deal with President Wilson's public policies, both focus attention on the events leading up to the participation of the United States in World War I, the postwar struggle over the peace treaty, the creation of the League of Nations, and the attitude of the United States toward adherence to the League. While the motion picture development of Wilson's war and peace policies makes use of many of the historical episodes that plaintiff used in his play, no claim is made that the general similarity of the development of this theme infringes plaintiff's copyright.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the materia! submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from, the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.
