The Neilly Series 2002-2003

The other day Iwas browsingthough some ofthe rarer findsFriends of theLibraries havedonated for inclu-sion in the SilentAuction at this, the30th year of theAnnual Rochester

Book Fair. What drew my attention wereseveral early histories of Rochester pub-lished by the Post Express. An entry for theUniversity highlighted the libraries, thenhoused in the new Sibley Hall, a gift ofcommunity leader Hiram Sibley and sus-tained by a gift of $50,000 for collectionsdonated by Albany philanthropists John F.and Lewis Rathbone. The Rathbone broth-ers were manufacturers “with a conspicuouszeal in promoting public philanthropy.”

According to the text, the Rathbone giftcame with a stipulation: the use of thelibrary and its collections were “to be freeforever to citizens of Rochester.” And so isthe case to this day. So, too, continues the“conspicuous zeal” of members of theRochester community in its philanthropicsupport of the Libraries.

Annually, I write to nearly twenty-fiveindividuals in the Rochester community toreport on books purchased with the incomefrom endowed funds created by theselibrary supporters. A quarter of the RiverCampus book funds are named for benefac-tors still living in the Rochester community.

Annually, I accept gifts to the collections,such as the letters of the late Justice LymanSmith to Catherine, his wife-to-be, or booksdonated to the collections, such as thosejust mentioned in the first paragraph orthose donated in the name of friends tohonor friends and family.

And annually, the Libraries welcomecommunity scholars and researchers to thestacks, area high schools students to workon honors papers, and school classes totour and better understand a researchlibrary as a part of their education. Weeven welcome brides seeking a formal loca-tion for wedding pictures and localmoviemakers looking for a library set.

In fact, the River Campus Libraries andthe Rochester community are partners. Inthe months to come, we hope our commu-nity partners will join with the campuscommunity to enjoy and be stimulated bythe Neilly Series lecturers, to view theexhibit of Hoeffler photographs taken of jazzgreats visiting Rochester and entertaining atthe Pythodd Club, and to help celebrate the30th anniversary year of the Friends of theLibraries.

“The stove is puffing smoke rings,” theyoung soldier wrote to his fiancée from aLuxembourg farmhouse. It was a snowyevening on Nov. 13, 1944, and the firewarmed him. He and other U.S. Army offi-cers had arrived for a break from war.

Across the top of his letter, Lt. LymanSmith sketched the farmhouse and sur-rounding fields. In nearly 300 letters hewrote to Catherine Strong in Washington,D.C., his clear, fluid script poured outdetails of wartime Europe. The sweetheartsfrom Cornell University were bound by thewar and their letters.

“He wrote as often as he could—and Idid too,” Catherine said almost 60 yearslater as she peered into an exhib-it case holding that letter, news-paper clippings, V-mail, andother mementos of the war years.

While Lyman was assigned toa tank unit in the 9th Division,Catherine joined the WAVES(Women Accepted for VolunteerEmergency Service) and workedfor three years in naval commu-nications. She had security clear-ance and decoded messages,some even delivered to theWhite House. Her brother,Stockton Strong, was a U.S.Navy pilot in the Pacific whocame through the war with met-als and battle stars for his sortiesoff aircraft carriers of the day: Yorktown,Enterprise, and the Coral Sea. He made lit-tle time for writing, but those few letters arealso part of the collection. Catherine’s cor-respondence wasn’t saved as Lyman movedfrom the battlefields to legal work to dutieshe couldn’t put in writing.

Lyman returned safely from Europe. Heand Catherine married in 1945, moved toPenn Yan in Yates County, and raised fourchildren. About a year ago, she rediscov-ered the boxes of letters and decided todonate them to Rush Rhees Library.

Like millions of Americans, the warabsorbed their lives. But an early assess-ment of the letters shows them to be quiteunusual documents of the time.

“He wrote nearly every day for longstretches, and he was an extremely educat-ed and astute observer,” said Michael Jarvis,

Love in the Time of War: Letters from the Heartassistant professor of history at the College.The richness of their detail impresses every-one who’s read them.

Two undergraduates began organizing thecollection last spring for a history departmentinternship. They organized them chronolog-ically by postmark and were drawn to thelove story of Lyman and Catherine.

“They became caught up in the excite-ment of reconstructing this couple’s rela-tionship at a time of war,” said Jarvis, theiracademic advisor. History majors ElisabethWightman and Robert Weinstein cataloguedthe papers under the direction of NancyMartin, the John M. and Barbara KeilUniversity Archivist and Rochester Collections

Librarian. Once the organization was done,the pair designed an exhibit that they called“Love and War: WWII Letters From OneSoldier to Home,” and interviewed thedonor.

“We learned a great deal from reading the letters and getting into the lives of the people who were writing them,” saidWightman. Among the papers were photonegatives about the size of a dime that weredeveloped and a copy of the military news-paper Stars & Stripes from March 2, 1945,with the headline: Hitler Dead.

When the war ended, Smith started a lawpractice. His impressive legal career tookhim from Yates County district attorney tocounty judge, and finally he served as astate Supreme Court justice from 1972 to1983. He died in 1996.

In 1977, the couple divorced and both

remarried. She became Catherine White andcontinued living in Penn Yan until she relo-cated last year to Canandaigua. That’s whenthe letters resurfaced.

Before the gift of the Catherine WhitePapers, Rush Rhees Library already held alarge collection of World War II printedephemera and materials about theUniversity’s role in the war, said NancyMartin. Several other caches of personal cor-respondence have been preserved.

It was Martin who suggested the intern-ship project after the letters were acquiredfrom Mrs. White last fall. “Many studentsdon’t realize the treasures here in RareBooks,” she said. “We have to make the

extra effort to help studentsbuild a connection with itemslike this. Rob and Beth werededicated to this project on thefirst day they came in.”For the graduating seniors, theinternship fueled their stronginterest in history. This fall,Wightman will attend graduateschool in library science atSUNY Buffalo and Weinstein ispursuing a master’s degree inhistory at the College.They found one of LymanSmith’s especially poignant let-ters and included it in theexhibit. It was written Dec. 8,1941, the morning after Pearl

Harbor was attacked. Smith, not yet drafted,was studying law at Cornell in Ithaca. Tothem, the letter could have been reacting tothe terrorist acts of Sept. 11, 2001.

“Dearest, I love you,” he wrote, followedby a string of 48 Xs to show it.

“We are at war. Always it has a grimsound. But I think it wise to continue inthought and deed following as much as wecan throughout every day ‘the commonplace things’ . . . This is not profound. I donot wish it to sound so. There is much Iwould like to say to you that no letter canpossibly transport. Suffice it to say that Iknow you and your family are of stoutheart. I think of you constantly throughouteach of these days. We are all on the alert.”

Catherine White with students Elisabeth Wightman and Robert Weinstein

The Department of Rare Books and SpecialCollections has recently purchased a groupof 10 previously unknown letters that relateto a scandal that galvanized the attention ofthe American public during much of the1870s. Henry Ward Beecher, perhaps themost famous clergyman in American histo-ry, was accused of having an affair with hisparishioner Elizabeth Tilton, the wife ofTheodore Tilton, a well-known reformer,writer and editor. The Beechers and Tiltonshad long been involved in reform circles,including women’s rights. Susan B.Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton wereamong those who were swept into the scan-dal’s vortex.

Victoria Woodhull, already notorious forher defense of “free love,” published anaccount of the Beecher-Tilton affair in theNovember 2, 1872 issue of her newspaperWoodhull & Claflin’s Weekly, an act for whichshe was briefly jailed on charges of sendingobscene literature through the mail.Woodhull contended that she first heard ofthe tryst from Anthony and Stanton. Manyof the letters—all addressed to Beecher’ssister Isabella Beecher Hooker or her hus-band, John, deal with “who knew what


Scandalous Clergy and Women’s Rights–the Beecher-Tilton Affair

when” and “who told who what.” Hooker, unlike her more famous sibling

Harriet Beecher Stowe, embraced thewomen’s rights movement and was skepti-cal of her brother’s innocence, causing arift within the family. The scandal also ledto dissention in the women’s rights move-ment. According to Richard Fox, author of Trials of Intimacy: Love and Loss in theBeecher-Tilton Scandal (University ofChicago Press, 1999), the letters “shedintriguing light on the intersection betweenthe women’s rights movement and theBeecher-Tilton Scandal.

“Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth CadyStanton, the most important women’srights leaders, believed that the scandalposed a dire threat to the movement, butthey disagreed about how to respond.Their difference of opinion evidenced adeeper divergence in their views ofwomen’s rights and of the proper path towomen’s equality. The scandal provokedepistolary soul-searching that gives us privi-leged access to the thinking of Anthony,Stanton, and other important figures suchas Victoria Woodhull, Theodore andElizabeth Tilton, and Henry Ward Beecher.”

The American Heritage Dictionary notes thatthe word syllabus may have been mistakenlytaken from the Greek sullambanein, whichmeans putting together. When applied tothe Libraries’ syllabus project, it means justthat.

The purpose of the syllabus project is toenhance access to reserve materials for stu-dents by using a digital copy of the coursesyllabus as an index to the readings and as adirect link to digital materials. Faculty nowtake their course materials to the ReserveDepartment where the process for digitiza-tion and linking the syllabus begins.

A benefit of the syllabus project is thatthe Library has the opportunity to insert itsown pages between the name index of fac-ulty who have reserves in the library and

Sullambanein–Putting It All Togetherthe digital syllabus. This serves to connectstudents to the content of the library and tothe discipline-specific bibliographers whocan best help them use these materials.

The course page project, under the lead-ership of Helen Anderson, allows librarybibliographers to become familiar namesand faces to students who are using disci-pline-specific materials, i.e., course syllabus,reserve readings, etc., and for the bibliogra-phers to give students a sense of what mate-rials might be of interest to them as theyundertake out-of-classroom research.

Attendance at Library events during the2001 Meliora weekend was so successfulthat the Library has planned a repeat perfor-mance during Meliora 2002. The events willprovide visual treats, stimulate the intellect,and offer the kind of camaraderie that theLibrary has become known for.

Meliora 2002 weekend begins with aNeilly Series lecture by noted author, SimonWinchester. Winchester will describe hisown personal history during his lecture,“Pleasures of a Writing Life.” His adventuresincluded a stint in a Patagonian jail and wit-

Meliora Spirit 2002– Jazz, Jive and Morenessing Bloody Sunday. This Neilly lecturewill be held outside Rush Rhees Library inanticipation of a large audience. Winchester’spresentation will be at 5 p.m. on Friday,October 11 in Hoyt Hall.

Supporters and Friends of the Librariesare invited to a reception on Saturday,October 12 from 2-4 p.m. in the Departmentof Rare Books. The reception provides anopportunity to thank our many friends fortheir continued commitment to the wellbeing of the Libraries.

It wasn’t Le Jazz Hot Club de Paris, but it came close. Rochester’s Pythodd Roomhosted many jazz greats during the ‘50s and‘60s, including Billie Holiday and OscarPeterson, and Rochester’s Gap and ChuckMangione. These jazz musicians and manyothers were captured through the lens ofphotographer Paul Hoeffler, whose pho-tographs will be on display in Rare Booksand Special Collections. The collection cap-tures more than a moment in musical (andRochester) history—Holiday’s luminosityand vulnerability is haunting, while thevitality of Ron Carter and others is palpable.The exhibit “Jazz in Rochester, 1955-1962,Photographs from the Paul HoefflerArchive,” will be open all weekend.

“Scaling the Heights: Rochester MusicalInnovators,” an exhibit highlighting some of Rochester’s greatest musicians will alsobe open all weekend in Rare Books andSpecial Collections. The exhibit displaysscores and ephemera of some of Rochester’sleading musicians such as Howard Hanson,Marianne McPartland, Alec Wilder, DavidDiamond, David Hockstein, and WayneBarlow amongst others.

The University has many renowned facul-ty whose ideas transformed their disciplinesand whose influence can still be felt in theacademic departments they constructed.“Rochester’s Educational Entrepreneurs” is an exhibit that explores the Rochestercareers of several innovators, includingRobert Marshak (Physics), Lee DuBridgeand Brian O’Brian (Optics), William Riker(Political Science), and Lewis White Beck(Philosophy). The exhibit will be in theGreat Hall exhibit cases in Rush RheesLibrary.

Consumers are increasingly seeking healthand wellness information, either on theirown or from health care providers. Accord-ing to the 2002 Pew Internet and AmericanLife Project, 62% of Internet users or 73million people in the United States havegone online in search of health information.Approximately 6 million Americans goonline for medical advice every day. There isno data available to identify the number ofhealth information requests from StrongMemorial Hospital patients, but the staffconfirm that there is a demand for informa-tion. Shortened lengths of stay in the hos-pital, even for the most critical patients,does not allow the staff ample time oropportunity to locate and provide quality,consumer friendly information to patients.

Angela Dixon and Mary Beth Klofas,librarians at the Medical Center’s EdwardG. Miner Library, recognized the gap inpatients’ need for health information and

the ability of the staff to provide it, anddesigned a clinical outreach program tai-lored to nurses, the primary caregivers tohospital patients. It was determined that thebest opportunity for training nurses on howto locate information is during a regular staffmeeting or at the change of shift report. Thesessions are structured to last approximately20 minutes.

The goals of these mini-sessions are sim-ple: to limit the session content to diseaseand drug information and focus on electronicresources that can be accessed from theunits’ workstations where Internet access is available. Highlighted resources includeMicromedex, a drug database that includespatient education information, and highquality consumer health related Internetsites, such as MedlinePlus. Special attentionis given to sources of Spanish languageinformation. At the end of each session,nurses receive a laminated “ready reference”

card to affix to the back of their ID badges.It lists the URLs of the resources presentedin the sessions for easy reference. Theresponse to the sessions has been positive,and nurses have said they feel more confi-dent about their ability to locate informa-tion for their patients.

Teaching and learning in the Libraries goeswell beyond the University community. Inrecent months, community groups such asthe Kodak Genealogical Club, TheHighlands at Pittsford, and the RochesterFemale Charitable Society came to thelibrary and met with librarians familiar withtheir area of interest. High school classesfrom Penfield and Pittsford also spent timeresearching with librarian assistance. Eachgroup had their own unique library experi-ence.

For example, during their visit to RareBooks and Special Collections, the KodakGenealogical Club spent considerable timeviewing a facsimile copy of the GreatDomesday book published for the 900thanniversary year. The book was photo-graphed from the original parchment sheets

Library Promotes Lifelong Learningand is exactly the same size.

Nancy Martin, the John M. and BarbaraKeil University Archivist and RochesterCollections Librarian, had spoken earlier inthe spring to the Highlands group about“Rochester Church and Temple Histories.”In May, they came for a tour of Rare Booksand Special Collections and to view theexhibit on “Publishers’ Bookbindings 1830-1910.”

About 15 members of the RochesterFemale Charitable Society came to RushRhees to examine archives pertaining totheir group. The organization was foundedin 1822 and does charitable works inMonroe County. Mary M. Huth, AssistantDirector of Rare Books and SpecialCollections, spoke to them about how theirpapers are being cared for and displayedseveral historic items in the collection.

Penfield High School English teacher,Anjan Ganguly wrote that, “While the pur-pose of our visit to the library was to usethe journal databases to research informa-tion for an assignment on 18th and 19th-century British literature, the experienceproved to be a far broader learning experi-ence for the students. They gained astronger sense of the real “nuts and bolts”of library research—from physically negoti-

ating the vast library building, to learning abit about the art of sifting through moundsof information to find a few relevant items.But most importantly, many of the studentsseemed actually to be excited about spend-ing time in a university library. One studentremarked, ‘I just love how this place feels.’”

Some of the Pittsford-Sutherland HighSchool seniors used their research at RushRhees for papers they submitted as writingsamples that accompanied their collegeapplications.

Our visitors came with a variety of inter-ests, but in each case, librarians, whose area of expertise complimented the visitors’interest, added substantially to the experience.

JUNE12 (Tentative) Friends’ 31st Annual Dinner and Meeting.


BiblioTalkMARKBook~

Rarely has a roomful of more than a hun-dred people become so quiet as when poetMarie Howe spoke at the Friends’ 30thAnnual Meeting and Dinner. Bibliophilesand library lovers were treated to an exhila-rating tribute by Howe. She began, “Maybeit’s the only sacred space we share as acommunal people…We walk into thatsweet hush of deep attention—into theplush layers of thought and inquiry anddream. The air breathes differently—ourfeet sound differently on the floor, on thecarpet, our own hands swinging by ourside, carrying a notebook, feel differently to us.”

Poetry in Motion—Marie Howe Howe described a trip into the stacks

where “Anything can happen! Maybe youhave a slip of paper in your hand with somenumbers on it—so you have a destina-tion—a book you’re looking for—but onthe way, you pull out this book, thatbook—You get closer, Ps123 or something,P125 and there’s this other book that looksgood, and then this other one and thisother—so that when you do see the bookyou’ve come for—well, you take it out—It’sprobably the book you need. But here tooare all the others—And you sit down, therewith the pile. And dig into the treasure.”

She discovered Ranier Maria Rilke whilewandering in library stacks and describedher response to his works, which greatlyinfluenced her own, “I pulled the book outand opened it up and sank to the carpetand began reading. You know those joysthat feel so good they almost hurt? The joywas so piercing I could hardly read—Iglanced into the pages as into the face ofsomeone you are falling in love with—Itook it home, shy and greedy.”

Those who were fortunate to listen toHowe were transported from the Chatterbox

to the libraries of our experience and imagi-nation where we too could wonder “Whoseeyes have grazed over these same pages wehold in our hands—and may be still leaningthere against the paper, a trace of their con-sciousness. The many, many gazes—fromdifferent times, various states of mind andfeeling. For different reasons. Energized bydifferent hungers—bored, riveted, receptive,contentious.”

The audience was transfixed by Howe’sdelivery and mesmerized by the eloquenceand beauty of her homage. She concluded,“The library holds all we know of theworld, and all the questions we can’tanswer. It is both the gate and what comesthrough the gate. It collects the records ofwhat it has been like to live as a singlehuman soul on earth—throughout time,and in all countries and seasons, in print, indrawings, in music, in graphs. It holds thehistory of human consciousness—Ourheroics, our disasters, or discoveries, ourmistakes. It is the way out and in. The wayin toward the infinite, the boundless.”

No one could have said it better—it wastruly an evening to remember.

Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly, long-time supporters of the libraries, havereceived the Robert F. Metzdorf Award forcontributions and meritorious service to thelibraries.

A generous endowment given by theNeillys created a named library deanshipand supports the Neilly Series lecture pro-duced by the River Campus Libraries.

Forging a Future—You and The Libraries Jack Keil ’44, longtime Library supporter, said it best:With the stock market doing an almost indescribable dance, I thought something more secure was desirable. So, I put some money in a charitable gift annuity and got the following:

• The promise of lifetime quarterly payments at an attractive rate, well above what themarket is currently delivering.

• Significant tax benefits every year for the rest of my life.• Peace of mind, knowing that this income is secure and steady. • A good feeling, knowing that I’m helping the quiet giant of the Genesee maintain

its stature as one of the country’s leading and most innovative university libraries.

Something to think about, isn’t it?

❑ Yes, I am interested. Send me more information on charitable gift annuities.
