Annual Report of The Cincinnati Historical Society July 1971-June 1972

Report of the President We are completing the one hundred and forty-first year of The Cincinnati Historical Society. During this entire period the Society has marched steadily forward in the accomplishment of the objectives for which it was founded. These objectives are the collection, preservation, and dissemination of the history of the Greater Cincinnati area. Many, perhaps most, local historical societies are preservation and museum oriented. From its inception, when it was originally named the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, our organization's interest has been directed primarily toward recording the writ- ing, the thoughts, and the actions of people. That the lessons of history may be made viable they must first be recorded, then verified, and lastly documented. If people make history, then the more people, the more history there will be. Obviously, with the tremendous growth of population, together with the equally large growth of activity and communications, the larger the job of a society such as ours becomes. That this is so is illustrated by the fact that at the time I became president, early in 1964, we were housed in cramped and crowded quarters in the base- ment of the library of the University of Cincinnati and had a staff, including the director, Dr. Tucker, of three full-time people. In November 1964, the Society's new building was completed, furnished, equipped, and staffed. Over a million manuscripts, several thousand pictures, posters, and photographs, and thousands of books were moved and shelved in the new quarters. The monumental task of collecting, preserving, and disseminating historical material was undertaken in a new and modern setting. The Bulletin:, which had been about our only contact with the outside world, was expanded and redesigned; the lecture series was started; a radio series was inaugurated; and the education department was established. These activities have been constantly expanded. By the spring of 1966, when Dr. Tucker left to become Assistant Com- missioner for State History of New York, the staff had increased to seven. It now consists of eighteen. During the same period of time, the Society's endowment has increased from about $500,000 to over two million dollars, if

196 funds for special projects such as the Nippert Memorial Library and the edu- cation department are included. Income has increased from $19,000 a few short years ago to $135,000 at the present time. As the quality, capacity, and vigor of the Society have become recognized, more and more has been expected of it. Collections are pouring in and must be processed. A $30,000 microfilming project must be undertaken in con- nection with the gift by the University of Kentucky of a complete file of the Cincinnati Times-Star, dating from 1840. To properly assess, restore, and catalog the material on German Methodism will take at least five years. The Seasongood papers represent another major challenge as do many other recent acquisitions such as the papers of Mr. John Hollister. Fortunately we have been able to obtain money grants in connection with many of these collections, but only by the most careful management of people and resources can the proper goals be accomplished. At the same time the Society is determined to assist in every way possible individuals, corporations, and other groups having related purposes. We fur- nished quarters for the Miami Purchase Association and the Fountain Square Sculpture Fund when they first began, and we have assisted the Science Center, now defunct; the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, which is the responsi- bility of the Ohio Historical Society; and others, as resources of the Society permit. The three-year drive for $1,400,000 in endowment funds which was begun in April 1970 is scheduled to end in the spring of 1973. We have not yet met our goal, and unless it is attained, both the programs and the staff of the Society will have to remain curtailed. Therefore, I urge all members who have not already done so to contribute to our fund drive and to actively recruit new members for the Society. More than two-thirds of our operating income comes from membership dues and income from the investment of our endowment fund. A few words about our fine staff are in order. Miss Laura Chace, appointed librarian in November 1971, has done an excellent job during the past year. She has instituted a review of all areas of the library and has drawn up guide- lines for future needs. In addition to her duties as librarian, she has assumed the position of Acting Director of the Society since the resignation of Richard W. Haupt as director in April 1972. Mrs. Elmer S. Forman has seen the number of reference questions increase dramatically, yet she has answered all of them and overseen the main reading room with her usual capable skill and good humor. Mrs. Carolyn B. LeaMond, while still supervising education activities and the summer Historymobile, has assumed responsibility for the picture collection, another area of the library which is increasing rapidly. Since she came to the Society in August 1971, Mrs. J. Robie Vestal has begun to catalog the Louis and Ida E. Nippert Memorial Library and Museum of

197 German Methodism. She has also assumed greater responsibility in the man- uscript department as a whole, working with Mrs. Ronald D. Shepherd, Mrs. Christopher F. Neely, and Theodore D. Appel. Other hard-working staff members include Mrs. Art F. Meyer, who catalogs an ever-increasing number of books, periodicals, and maps; Mrs. William L. Stegeman, registrar, who accessions all gifts from our many generous donors; Mrs. John W. Archea, who serves both as library secretary and bookkeeper; and Ken White, who as page performs many different jobs and is kept con- stantly on the run. To ease the secretarial load, two part-time receptionists and typists have been added. Mrs. Steven R. Cohen joined our staff as Public Relations and Art Assistant this summer. She replaces Mrs. Marian Knight, who left the Society in January 1972 to join the public relations staff of the Children's Hospital Medical Center. Mrs. Cohen is an extremely well educated, talented, and innovative person. We welcome her enthusiastically to our staff. Mrs. James M. Zimmerman has edited the Bulletin for the past year and has put out four attractive issues. With this combined issue, Fall-Winter 1972, we have brought our publication in line with the calendar, and henceforth we will produce four separate issues each year —Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. No listing of the staff would be complete without the name of Mr. Vincent J. Horak, our building superintendent, who is retiring at the end of 1972. I am pleased to report, however, that he will continue to work part-time on special projects. Over the past eight years, Mr. Horak has completed many extra tasks for the Society. For example, during the past year, in addition to his regular duties, he constructed a monumental jigsaw puzzle for the summer Historymobile. The work of the Society is also carried out by volunteers who work in the library and as speakers for various groups. We are grateful to them for their assistance. The Women's Association, under Mrs. Frank T. Hamilton, is also helpful, and again this year has produced another in its series of historic tiles. I am grateful for the support of the Board of Trustees of the Society, who have worked with me to solve our financial problems and to define our goals. During the year we suffered the loss of Ernest I. Miller, but the Board was strengthened by the addition of three new members —Dr. Walter C. Langsam, James R. Hunt, and Frederick A. Hauck, who generously underwrote last year's successful Centennial Eve Ball at the Probasco house. With expanded membership and fresh enthusiasm and a most eminently qualified and experienced new director, the Society will move forward with integrity, competence, and skill in the accomplishment of the goals for which it was founded and will strive to maintain its reputation as one of the finest local historical agencies in the nation.

Contributors to the Society's Funds

The Cincinnati Historical Society acknowledges with gratitude the contributions made from July 1971 through June 1972 by the following donors. This listing does not include con- tributors to the Society's current Endowment Fund Drive, which is scheduled to end in April 1973. We are still short of our goal of $1,400,000, and further contributions are needed to meet this goal and thus insure that the many programs of the Society will not only be sustained but expanded in the coming years. All donors to the Fund Drive will be listed in the 1973 annual report of The Cincinnati Historical Society.

201 Report of the Education Coordinator July 1971-June 1972

The activities of the education department have been restricted during the past fiscal year by a very limited budget. Thus this report, unlike those of previous years, does not contain a listing of new publications or audio-visual productions. Most of my time has been spent working with the Society's picture collection, whose size and volume of use has increased rapidly in recent years. Existing educational materials have been distributed to area schools upon request. One facet of the education program which is still carried on vigorously is the summer Historymobile, a project which has operated since 1969. This past year it was expanded and improved under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The operation of the Historymobile is the result of the cooperation and efforts of many levels of government and of private and business interests. The privately-funded Cincinnati Historical Society provided the supervision and program for the unit. From the Cincinnati Public Recreation Commission's Division of Creative and Performing Arts, under Supervisor Henry Stock, came the staff, the use of the truck, and scheduling of the unit. The Division of the 111 and Handicapped of the Recreation Commission provided scheduling for the morning programs. The senior and junior classes of Instructor Vincent Alvarez of the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture and Art drew up designs for the Historymobile and made proposals for programs to be given. The Formica Corporation, Union Camp Corporation, and the Arrow Blue Company contributed certain construction materials and picture blowups for use by the Historymobile. The basic unit was built by Vincent Horak and Roger Hodgeman of the Society staff. Funds for its construction were granted by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The daily Historymobile program was worked out by two college students, Michael Kneu and Robert Mecklenborg, under the supervision of Gerald R. Toner and Carolyn B. LeaMond of the staff of The Cincinnati Historical Society. Two young people from the Neighborhood Youth Corps assisted in the presen- tation of the program at playgrounds. The Historymobile design was a thirty-three piece puzzle representing a giant, 19 feet by 24 feet, map of Cincinnati, showing suburbs, rivers, hilltops, and valleys. By adding different toys and tape markings, the puzzle board was adaptable to varying games which could show transportation, forts, major streets, and landmarks in Cincinnati. During the past summer, the landmark game was used. Other games will be used in coming summers. The program incorporated the assembling of the map puzzle and the use of wooden model toys of Cincinnati landmarks, designed and made by Mr. Horak. It was presented

202 to 1,846 children at sixty-one play areas. Both Cincinnati newspapers carried news items and picture features on the Historymobile presentations. Again this year, a morning program for resident care institutions was pre- sented by the Historymobile crew. The program, a slide talk on Cincinnati history, was shown at thirty-six locations to 993 viewers, most of whom were senior citizens. The children's Historymobile project must be considered, literally, history "in the field." It is presented in playgrounds to children, often fresh from the swimming pool or the ball field, who come to be stimulated and educated by an informal, fun program on Cincinnati history. Their enthusiastic response, the cooperation and interest from many diverse agencies, and the success of the program encourage the belief that a complete education effort by The Cincinnati Historical Society should be reinstated to provide not just a summer Historymobile but a comprehensive year-round program for area schools and organizations.

205 Report of the Librarian July 1971-June 1972

An annual report serves the dual purposes of providing a resume of activities to the membership and enabling the staff to measure the successes and failures of its endeavors. As we pause to reflect on the activities of the past year, we see more clearly our future goals and direction.

Library

The collection of the library includes manuscripts, books, periodicals, news- papers, photographs, engravings, paintings, drawings, and maps. Although some additions to these collections are purchased by the Society, about ten times as many acquisitions are gratefully received as gifts from generous mem- bers and friends. Among the donations received this year were 1078 volumes of Cincinnati newspapers, including the complete file of the Cincinnati Times- Star (1840-1958) from the Margaret I. King Library of the University of Ken- tucky; an oil painting by Henri Lovie entitled "View West of Bold Face Creek: the Ohio River Valley Looking Toward Thomas Yeatman's Residence" (ca. 1850), a gift of the Reverend Roger Ailing; and manuscripts, pictures, books, and miscellaneous memorabilia from the estate of Dr. Marie Nast Wherry. Through the courtesy of Mr. Louis Nippert and the Bethesda Hospital and Deaconess Association, the Louis and Ida E. Nippert Memorial Collection of German Methodism in America and Europe came to The Cincinnati Historical Society library as a deposit. Another large gift was the Koch Diaries and Scrapbooks, a bequest of Herbert Koch, a lifelong resident of Cincinnati and a former member of The Board of Trustees and interim director of The Cin- cinnati Historical Society. Containing a daily record of local and national events, the collection consists of 132 linear feet of material dated 1881-1971. These are but a few of the many important gifts to the Society during the past year. All donors to the library collections are listed after the statistical summary which follows this report. Requests for reference assistance have increased greatly over the past year. This may be attributed to a renewed interest in local history and in Cincinnati's past—an interest which is shared by both scholars and ordinary citizens who are turning to the study of their local history to provide a sense of order and permanence in our fast-changing society. To answer this increased volume of reference questions, The Cincinnati Historical Society library contains ex- cellent source materials relating to the nineteenth century. However, more attention should be given to the collection of comparable twentieth century materials, an area which we hope to expand during the coming year. Adequate preservation of all our collections, a concern mentioned in each

206 annual report since 1967, will be one of our goals for the coming year. The book, print, map, and newspaper collections are most in need of rebinding and restoration. This is indeed an expensive undertaking, but necessary if we are to preserve our valuable holdings from disintegration. Our staff of eighteen people is complemented by a corps of dedicated volun- teers. During the last year, eleven men and women assisted with projects in all areas of the library. The statistical summary at the conclusion of this report gives a more complete breakdown of the work done in the library.

Public Affairs and Community Awareness

The Society exists not only to collect and preserve materials about Cincinnati and Southwestern Ohio but also to disseminate information about the history of this area. Our quarterly Bulletin, talks to interested groups of citizens by staff and members of the Society, and our monthly lecture series serve to accomplish this function. During the 1971-72 series, 1975 people attended our seven evening slide programs. In one of our largest community activities last year, the Society, with the assistance of a city-wide committee headed by Lloyd Baldwin, spearheaded the preparation for a FountainFest held on October 16, 1971, to commemorate the 1 ooth anniversary of the creation of the Tyler Davidson Fountain. The unveiling of the newly restored fountain to a crowd of thousands began a day- long festival, co-chaired by William S. Rowe and Frederick A. Hauck, on Fountain Square. On October 15, the eve of the FountainFest, Society mem- bers attended a Centennial Eve Celebration at Oakwood, the Clifton mansion built by Henry Probasco, who gave the fountain to the city in 1871. The Women's Association of the Society, under the able leadership of Mrs. Frank T. Hamilton and Mrs. William A. Altemeier, was in charge of invitations, and we are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. William S. Nagel, the present owners of Oak- wood, for opening their home to the Society for this gala event. The annual celebration of Cincinnati's birthday took place on December 28, 1971, in the Hauck Room of the Society. Honored guests included Mayor Thomas A. Luken, Vice-Mayor William A. Chenault, and donors to the So- ciety's collections during the previous year. New acquisitions, which attracted TV cameras as well as interested onlookers, were displayed. The Society's education program, an important part of our effort to build community awareness of Cincinnati history, was highlighted by the summer historymobile project. Funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, staffed by three employees of the Public Recreation Com- mission, and coordinated by Mrs. Carolyn B. LeaMond, the historymobile was a means by which nearly 3000 children and adults were provided with a greater knowledge of the city's past. Please refer to the Report of the Education De- partment for details of this and other education programs.

207 The Calendar of Events preceding this report gives a complete listing of the Society's public activities during the past year. I wish to thank the many individuals, businesses, organizations, and foun- dations who have supported the Society and its interests and programs, and to express my sincere appreciation to The Board of Trustees, the staff, and the volunteers without whom the work of the Society would not be possible.
