NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, AUGUST 19, 1894 12 A pleasant bit of news of the week w a s the engagement of Mr- Victor Sorchan, a prominent club man of New York, t o Miss Charlotte B.- W. Hunnewell, an heiress, and one of the belles of the summer. Mr. Sorchan is a member of the Knickerbocker, Racquet and Country clubs. His mother, who lives In Paris, was a Miss Thorn, of New York, of the Sixteenth street family of that name: Misa Hunnewell Inherited a fortune from her mother, who was a sister of Mr. Egerton L. Winthrop, and from her father, Mr. Hollis Hnnnesrell, of Bostou and Wellesley, Mass. No dale has been set for the wedding. This Fashionable Hasort O n e B o u n d of F e s tivity. E W P O R T , R. I.. AOr gust 18, 1894-— The week of pleasure was auspiciously o p e n e d with the Casino dance on Menday, when the largest gathering of the season assembled. There was no end of beautiful gowns a n d even ; w w * beautiful wearers. The! Countess Sler*tarpff, who had come in from a large dinner party, wore with a rose tinted satin gown a necklace of diamonds in an elaborate setting. Mrs. John Jacob Astor's gown w a s of shimmering white satin, with a single ornament of diamonds confining a black aigrette to her coiffure a n d a beautiful pendant of sapphires and diamonds at the corsage, Mrs. F e r n a n d o Yznaga h a s not looked to better advantage this season t h a n on Monday night in her gown of pale Mae chiffon over satin of the same color.

Mahler had a highly successful benefit ball a t Congress Hall on Thursday evening. Mr. Mahler la a terpsichorean enthusiast, and the latest things In t h e line of the saltatory a r t are always brought out at his benefits. A children's march and a number of graceful fancy dances were the feature of this week's entertainment. If it had not been for Mr. Mahler, Mr. Frothingham and a few others, dancing would apparently have been a lost a r t In Saratoga. The garden party a t the racing park w a s a pretty picture a n d a pronounced success in every way. Indeed, as a social feature t h e present racing season has been fully up to t h e high mark attained twenty y e a r s ago, when t h e fashionable people always attended t h e sport In great force. President Walbaum h a s agreeably surprised everybody by the enterprising and excellent management which has made t h e Saratoga course relatively much more prominent and important than it h a s been before for fullv fifteen years. Everything has been managed on the most liberal scale, and the tone of the sport has been kept up to t h e be3t mark. This fact is very gratifying to all lovers of the turf, and i t augurs well for a continued and 1 even an increased popularity for " t h e sport of kings" on this side of the Atlantic. Ex-Governor W. D. Bloxham and wife, of Florida, have been enjoying the summer at Dr. Hamilton's. Mr. and Mrs. John Crosby Brown, of New York, are pleasantly domiciled in one of the United States Hotel cottage.. Police Justice Patrick Divver, of New York, is enjoying his vacation at Congress Hall. AMATEUR OARSMEN'. SARATOGA'S BIG SEASON.

The fleet of electric launches h a s made Saratoga Lake at lust what it ought to have been niade long ago, a grand pleasure ground, so to speak. Cruin s and Luther's and Thomas' have this year far surpassed the bestrecord ever made by the lakeside hostlerles, and the financial stringency has not prevented a vast increase in the number of swell dinner parties, who have tested the toothsomeness* of Saratoga Lake bass and the palatableness of various vintages from the sunny hills oflFrance. The fourth annual lawn tennis tournament for the championship of New York State will open at the Woodlawn Oval, September 4. The crack players are all entered, aud some great play over "the nets is assured. Mr. Albert Pulitzer, of New York, is a guest a t the Windsor. Miss Kalbfleisch, of Brooklyn, is enjoying a visit with the Misses Breslln at their cottage on North Broadway. The Huestls House has been crowded ever since June. Among the recent arrivals there are Mr. and Mrs. if. Minor and family, of New Orleans, and Mr. and Mrs. T. Lynch, of New York. The array of Spanish-American beauties at the Everett House surpasses all former records. There is no prettier sight in Saratoga, nor anywhere else, than the groups of these black eyed damsels from the tropics on these spacious verandas. " Dr. Leszynsky. Miss R. Leszynsky and Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Cantor, of New York, are among the arrivals at the Windsor. Ex-Congrcssronn John Fox and Mr. John Fox, Jr.. of New, York, are registered a t the Grand Union. . , Mr. A. H. Hummel, of New York, entertained the members of the press a t the garden party at the Saratoga racing park. There w a s an endless flow of wit—not dry wit either—around that hospitable table. One of the most popular of New York politicians among all the throng at Saratoga is exSpeaker William Sulzer, who has been a prominent figure around the corridors of the- Grand Mr. and Mrs. J a m e s M.

As the Chautauqua eloquence wf the Doctor fell trumpet tongu»d on an audience of sixty attentive listeners his golden words of urgency to study Judaism were re-echoed across the peaceful waters of Lake Placid aud certainly left a religious impression never to be forgotten. To make the picture complete, poetic and idealistic White Face Mountain.one of nature sembiei:is of majestic strength, with its bright and shlnhig helmet of solid rock towering heavenward to ard a clear and beautiful sky, stood as a protector and guardian angel over this sacred group of Israel's childreu congregated from New York, Philadelphia, Newark, Pittsburg, Albany, Detroit, Denver and other cities. Out of an assemblage of sixty about thirty names were enrolled as members, with promises of many more* Taken as a whole, the meeting was a g i a n l success and to many quite a revelation, as they were unacquainted with the existence of Jewish Chautauqua. The subject of a summer assembly *0? learning and recreation was touched upon and outlined by the doctor with a clearness which almost made its inception materialize. The projec of tiie establishment of a Jewish summer assembly, which was foreshadowed by this meeting, captivated the minds of those present, and there is every prospect ot this gathering bringing about the desired result. * MKKTIXG WAS IMPROMPTU.

In that period, the town has increased its population 35 per cent. If this rate were to continue for the rest of the decade, growth would approximate 88.7 per cent for the 1960-1970 period. One Saratoga County towns and two in Albany County grew at somewhat comparable rates from 1950 to 1960. Charlton more than doubled its residents in that time, as did Guilderland in Albany County. At the same time, Colonie swelled from 29,500 to 52,700. In terms of people, rather than percentages, Charlton's growth was about 1,800, while the two Albany towns went up 9,500 and 22,200, respectively. Clifton Park is likely to be someplace in between, with t projected increase, if the same rate continues, of some 3,500. There is no safe way of estimating how the rite will go. It is likely that it has actually accelerated in the last two of the four years measured in the special census and it may continue to accelerate for a while and then level off. But it is safe to estimate that the normal pattern will see this growth spill over into towns bordering Clifton Park, with the spillover coming more rapidly than before because of the Northway. Thus, Malta can expect an early population growth which could well, by the end of the decade, approach that of Clifton Park. Saratoga Springs, as a natural crossroads and business center, should experience greater growth than has been normal. Charlton and Ballston have already expanded considerably. Halfmoon grew a lot between 1950 and 1960 aid will continue to grow because of three factors: Northway spillover, proximity to Troy and spillover from Mechanicville, which has no place to grow as a community. Moreau, which became the second largest community in the county between 1950 and 1960 (over 8,400) may be more stable for a while, but as the Wilton School for the retarded is built, it and Wilton will have new impetus. These are not just statistics, they are people. Nor ire the projections overoptimistic. Realist as Fred Droms, supervisor of Clifton Park, is, he underestimated his own town's growth by 5 per cent and we could be underguessing, rather than overdoing it. So the figures are running ahead of the projections. The character of our county is changing. Governmental, social and educational problems, almost unprecedented in the county, appear to lie ahead. They mean that old ways of doing things aren't enough, that we must be ready to adjust to new needs, new people. We hope the warning is not lost on the community leaders of the county, both in and out of government. it looks fflce ff flice place to visit, bat / woafaart wxaef Roscoe Drummond Johnson takes complete Washintgon—The most significant fact in Washington today is that transitional government is at an end and that Lyndon B. Johnson is completly in charge. It has been accomplished more competently, more smoothly, more rapidly than anyone would have believed possible. The Johnson administration is now on its own—making its own decisions, creating its own initiatives, and cultivating its own image in its own way. • The one thing which to me stands out above all others is this: Johnson has not merely acceded to the Presidency; he has seized the Presidency with unequalled energy. Johnson is not merely presiding over his administration; he is operating the Presidency as if he had been in the White House at least five years. He is no longer looking back at the tragedy which robbed the nation of President Kennedy. Johnson is looking ahead. He is no longer appealing to Congress or to the country to accept his measures as a tribute to the memory of the late President. He is asking that everything be judged on its own. Seed of lawlessness • One of the most trenchant public utterances to be made in a long time has come from the man who next August will become president of the American Bar Association. He is Lewis F. Powell Jr. and every American might well listen carefully to what he said in a recent luncheon address. "One of the root causes of lawlessness in this country," he declared, "is excessive tolerance by the public in accepting substandard, marginal, immoral and unlawful conduct. "This tolerance has reached the point of moral sickness." Among the things he believes are excessively tolerated, Mr. Powell listed juvenile drinking, flagrant violation of traffic laws, flouting of obscenity and pornography laws, illegal gambling, cheating on claims against insurance companies, circumvention of divorce laws, condoning of violence, and disregard of laws in general. Those among us who are completely innocent of any of the tolerances mentioned by Mr. Powell can, of course, forget what he has said. The rest of us can thank him for saying it—and make sure we remember and heed it. I . i m Remember when? Apr. 24 1939 — The City Council at last night's meeting voted to give parking meters a six months trial. An eloquent plea for the Citizens of Saratoga Springs "to do something about a terrible situation where our city's population has practically stood still for 60 years at 13,000 in spite of all our natural advantages," was made by Samuel Goldberg of the Ro-Ed Mansion, at last night's open meeting of the Chamber Of Commerce. Apr. 24,1949 — The federal government has intervened in New York Power and Light Corporation plans to build a big power dam on Sacandaga River at Stewart's Bridge in Saratoga and Warren counties. "Pull study" will be given to the power company's proposal to contruct an earth dam, 1,400 feet long and 112 feet Paul R.

We will row No. 1 in the Dartmouth crew against Amherst next Saturday and also in the Dad Vail regatta of nine colleges at Poughkeepsie on May 21. April 24, 1959 ~ Thousands of members of the Daughters of the American Revolution from all parts of the country this week are seeing and admiring their national organization's tribute in Washington, DC. to its four founder*, incuding Ellen Hardin Walworth, who was a Saratogian. Included in the throng are Mrs. Walter Moore, regentelect of the Saratoga Chapter, and Mrs. R. C. Lamb, its chaplain. John A. Simone Jr., has opened an office for the practice of law at 384 Broadway. • THIS IS NO TIME EVEN to atempt to judge where Lyndon Johnson will rate as a President. But it is amply evident that he brings a special combination of qualities rarely present in one man at the same time. He is the most politically resourceful President since Franklin Roosevelt and the most zestful President since Theodore Roosevelt. He has just addressed both the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington and the Associated Press in New York. (Most Presidents address either one or the other.) He has just held three press conferences in the past week, including one big, live televised press conference in the State Department auditorium a la JFK. It went well. The nation's newspaper editors meeting in Washington — mostly Republican — thought Johnson would win re-election. The publishers meeting in New York— • • • ON THE BASIS OF HIS first five months in office, it is clear than Johnson is not disposed to delay, to postpone, to run away from hard decisions. He dared to take the railroad negotiations, which plagued both President Eisenhower and President Kennedy, into the White House—and this was no small political risk. He ventured upon a personal correspondence with Premier Khrushchev which led to the uranium production-cut agreement announced a few days ago. He listened to conflicting advice within his Administration over whether he should give his support to the anti Goulart military coup in Brazil before one could tell how democratic or undemocratic it was going to prove to be—and Johnson took the risk of supporting it, rejected the wait* and-see counsel. • • • I AM NOT SUGGESTING that the record is all rosy. The Panama negotiations were fumbled in the early stages. Our stake in Viet Nam needs much more persuasive Presidential exposition to keep public and Congressional support for what needs to be done. What is most visible, as transition government comes to an end, is that a very skilled politician and a massively do-it-now man is filling the Presidency to near bursting. Those who constantly compare President Johnson with President Kennedy will continue to be disappointed. He will never look and act like Kennedy. He will always look and act like Lyndon B. Johnson. © 1964 Publishers Newspaper Syndicate Stop reading word by word You can skip, skim or savor By THE READING LABORATORY INC.

Two of the greatest artists of all time, who wore introduced to Saratoga Springs audiences were Negroes—Caesexette Jones, called familiarly "Black Patti," and Harry Thacker Burleigh, famed soloist whose arrangement of "Deep River" is immortal. o e • THE SARATOGA STORY of both makes interesting history. Cesaeretta Jones, whose rise to fame was swift, possessed a voice resembling that of the famous Adeline Patti, who had made several American tours, and was received by huge audiences. So like the famed Patti's voice was that of Miss Jones, that she was known throughout her singing career as "Black Patti". In the 1880s and lttO's, her magnificent voice was heard as a soloist at various concerts held in Congress Psrk, and shortly after the completion of Convention Hall in 1894 she sang there, -receiving one of the greatest ovations accorded by the 5,000 people from near and far who jammed the hall to hear her sing, Marguerite in Gounod's opera "Faust." This was the role in which Adeline Patti had scored her greatest success. e e • THERE ARE FEW STORIES more intriguing than the discovery of one of the greatest of all Negro lingers, Harry Thacker Burleigh, here in Saratoga Springs. In the summer of 1880 Burleigh was a wine boy serving in the Grand Union Hotel, and was attracted to attend classes at Bethesda Church which the late beloved rector, the Rev. Dr. Joseph Carey, was holding in the church afternoons for a group of boys from many cities who were working in the great hotels. Dr. Carey .organized one of the most worthwhile choirs ever assembled in our resort. To this service one afternoon in the 1880's came Burleigh, having an inner craving for music. He was singing with the choir one afternoon, all intent on his music, when suddenly he became quite embarassed and confused to find himself singing alone. All the other boys, thrilled by his voice, were silent, listening intently. His voice died away at the end of a hymn. Dr. Carey urged him to go on. The memory of his beautiful singing was recounted by the youths to many visitors they served at the various hotels. The services at 4 p.m. began to attract such crowds there was not room for all to hear. To one of the services that year also came the mother of the famous American composer, Edward C. MacDowell. She was Mrs. Frances Knapp MacDowell, a guest at the United States Hotel. Like the others she was entranced and came again and again to hear the Negro youth. ' at • • m^__^^__^^__ IN 1892, MBS. MAC DOWELL made it possible for Burleigh to attend the National Conservatory of Music in New York, where another of his friends became ton Dvorak, American composer, a MacDowell's son was Burleigh's ideal ana so there was little wonder that he chose on many occasions in his concerts to sing, the song for which Edward C. MacDowell became doubly famous, "to a Wild Rose." Burleigh for 52 years was the baritone soloist in St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City, and it was a tradition on every Palm Sunday, that ho should sing The Psalms, his audience coming from many other parishes to hear this. • e • WHEN THE GREAT SOLOIST observed the golden anniversary of his career, some years before his death, a reception was given him in St. George's Parish House, which was thronged to capacy by the great and the lowly, the wealthy and thq poor. Harry Thacker Burleigh never forgot Sartaoga Springs. He told some Saratogians who attended the reception, "I have a warm spot in my heart for Saratoga Springs and for its people. I'll never ferj • get the start I received there. It gave me encouragement to strive higher." v.0 • • • WHEN BURLEIGH DIED several years ago, the New York newspapers gave him credit as being the moving spirit in saving the beautiful Negro spirituals for th world, some 5Q of which he arranged personally. He had sung them before the, kings and heads of many European countries. It was Burleigh's arrangement of "Deep Rixer," which featured the last Saratoga Festival given in Congress Park in 1959 and was sung by the late John Blanchard, a local soloist of real ability and talent, whose untimely death cut short a musical artist. • • • SARATOGA SPRINGS had the honor of of organizing the developing one of the first churches in this area for the colored race, the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Maple Avenue, founded in June, 1863. The Civil War was then in progress, and greater religious opportunities were sought for the Negroes, many of whom came here summers as the employes of visitors. The first church stood in Willow Walk, now Spring Avenue. In November 1866, the first little church was destroyed by fire. Rebuilt the following year, the church was dedicated by Bishop J. J. Clinton. In 1888, this first church was so badly in need of repairs, that, with money given by Mrs. Benjamin J. Dyer, the present edifice was erected in Maple Avenue, and named in honor of Mrs. Dyer then owner of the Vermont House, corner of Grove and Maple Ave., and called, the Dyer Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. In 1900 the name of Phelps was added in memory of a summer cottager who gave $500 for improvements to the church. In this church many important soloists were heard in a half century, and the Negro spirituals reached their perfection as sung by many of the soloists who ca o cajttfK here summers. U.S. anti-gambling statutes Pressure closed Hot Springs (Second of Two Articles) By JAMES W. CANAN Gannett News Service Washington—The closing of a big-time gambling operation in Arkansas last year illustrates the power that has accrued to federal lawmen under the 1961 anti-gambling statutes. The Justice Department tried two years ago to indict the gamblers who ran the games in Hot Springs, but failed. It lacked enough evidence that the games were "interstate." But the department kept trying, and doggodness prevailed. With the help of the local press, the federal men pressured the state into closing the gambling enterprise to avoid future trouble. Without the anti-gambling laws, the Department would not have been in a position to keep up the pressure, much less seek indictments in the first place. • e e SEVERAL OTHER CASES whore indictments ware lacking hut where gamblers voluntarily took cover demonstrate the difficulty of measuring the impact of the laws on a ease-by-ease basis.

Among the investigations have been—and are—224 in New York (mostly in the New York City area), 60 in Connecticut and 40 in New Jersey. Eighty-one indictments have been re* turned. Of the 264 defendants charged, 118 have been convicted. There are 31 indictments outstanding, involving 97 defendants. Except for Bruno, and possibly Konigsberg and Zizzo, the quarries caught under the 1961 ststutes hardly seem worth the attention of the FBI and the federal courts. But the Justice Department contends that this attitude of not bothering to crack down on the journeyman has served, over the years, to fatten the kingpins the most. , e e o TO SHOW THAT IT IS getting a better grip on organized crime across the board, the department cites its 288 convictions last year, as compared with 138 in 1962, 73 in 1961 and 45 in 1960. Perhaps even more indicative of the department's activity were the 615 organized-crime indictments returned in 1963, nearly double the number of 1962, five times as many as in 1961, and a whopping twelvefold more than in 1960. The indictments and convictions cover mostly operators of casinos, numbers rackets, horse rooms, dice games, handbooks and, in a few cases extortion enterprises. That they fall shy of the big names in narcotics, prostitution, coinvending machines and illegal liquor traffic; is a cause of some gloom at the Justice Department. Yet the crime laws of 1961 have given the department a better chance to chip away at the thrones of the kings of crime and the hope that harder blows are in the making.

The memory of his beautiful singing was recounted by the youths to many visitors they served at the various hotels. The services at 4 p.m. began to attract such crowds there was not room for all to hear. To one of the services that year also came the mother of the famous American composer, Edward C. MacDowell. She was Mrs. Frances Knapp MacDowell, a guest at the United States Hotel. Like the others she was entranced and came again and again to hear the Negro youth. ' at • • m^__^^__^^__ IN 1892, MBS. MAC DOWELL made it possible for Burleigh to attend the National Conservatory of Music in New York, where another of his friends became Anton Dvorak, American composer. MacDowell's son was Burleigh's ideal so there was little wonder that he chose on many occasions in his concerts to sing, the song for which Edward C. MacDowell became doubly famous, "to a Wild Rose." Burleigh for 52 years was the baritone soloist in St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City, and it was a tradition on every Palm Sunday, that ho should sing The Psalms, his audience coming from many other parishes to hear this. *** WHEN THE GREAT SOLOIST observed the golden anniversary of his career, some years before his death, a reception was given him in St. George's Parish House, which was thronged to capacy by the great and the lowly, the wealthy and thq poor. Harry Thacker Burleigh never forgot Sartaoga Springs. He told some Saratogians who attended the reception, "I have a warm spot in my heart for Saratoga Springs and for its people. I'll never ferj • get the start I received there. It gave me encouragement to strive higher." • • • WHEN BURLEIGH DIED several years ago, the New York newspapers gave him credit as being the moving spirit in saving the beautiful Negro spirituals for th world, some 50 of which he arranged personally. He had sung them before the, kings and heads of many European countries. It was Burleigh's arrangement of "Deep River," which featured the last Saratoga Festival given in Congress Park in 1959 and was sung by the late John Blanchard, a local soloist of real ability and talent, whose untimely death cut short a musical artist.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This article contains many unproven, unsubstantiated assertions about Burleigh's time in Saratoga Springs starting in 1880 and his discovery by a New York City socialite. While the story may be true, the documentary record has not yet provided evidence to confirm it.

BURLEIGH’S LIFE MUSIC and H arry T. Burleigh (18661949) started his life as a musician early. Living in a musically talented household in post-Civil War Erie, Pennsylvania, Burleigh learned African-American spirituals from his mother and maternal grandfather and participated in Burleigh family concerts at home. While he considered his mother his first music teacher, his voice teacher, George F. Brierly, was the most important influence in his hometown, where he experimented with a wide array of instruments, including guitar, piano, and other string instruments, as well as singing. Congenitally shortened ring fingers ended the musician’s early dreams of becoming a concert pianist. Burleigh quickly gained national attention. As a pre-teen, Burleigh drew local notice for solos performed in school and church choirs. When the New Orleans University Jubilee Singers came to Erie in 1888, he joined their tour, traveling and singing with them for eight months. In 1892, at just 16 years of age, Burleigh auditioned for and received a full four-year scholarship to the National Conservatory of Music in New York City. Erie’s citizens came together and donated money to help him afford living in this cultural capital. During the summer of 1892, Burleigh worked at the Grand Union Hotel in Saratoga Springs, where he also may have sung at Bethesda Episcopal Church. His time in Saratoga working in the service industry and singing in the church likely brought him in contact with local socialites, some of whom may have helped finance his education at the Conservatory. He also had the opportunity to hear world-famous African-American soprano Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti), who sang in Saratoga Springs that August. While Burleigh was at the Conservatory, Czech composer Antonín Dvorák mentored the young baritone. The two mutually inspired each other with the “Symphony in E Minor” (from the New World) reflecting the composer and Conservatory director’s appreciation for the significance and musicality of African-American music notable in his use of two spirituals. Because Burleigh was so integrated into the art music scene, his compositions (over 260 works) and choral arrangements (almost 190) are valued and analyzed by scholars and performers. By combining his classical training and the AfricanAmerican musical traditions he grew up with, Burleigh, in a sense, legitimized African-American spiritual music for a largely white audience. Throughout his life and career, which included singing for decades as a soloist at St George’s Episcopal Church of New York, Burleigh made a concerted effort to be true to his musical and cultural roots. Although there is only one known recording of him performing, his legacy continues on through his arrangements of spirituals from “Deep River” to “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” and his many original compositions.

Courtesy Historical American Sheet Music, David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Duke University, RBR Music 694 African-American slaves performed a wide variety of spirituals and other Christian music. Many of these songs were coded messages of subversion against slaveholders, or which signaled escape. The title of this spiritual as arranged by Harry T. Burleigh refers to crossing the river Jordan, which was a symbol in many spirituals not only of a wish to reach heaven, but also of a yearning to be freed from slavery (Jones). Burleigh in 1906 - Musical Director of the St. George’s Men’s Club minstrel show. Photograph from the 1907 minstrel show program. Developed in the 19th century, minstrel shows were a popular form of entertainment in the antebellum and Reconstruction periods. Minstrel shows included both black and white entertainers who wore blackface, and the shows mocked AfricanAmerican music and culture through racial stereotypes. Beginning in 1906, Burleigh ran a vaudeville show for St. George’s Men’s Club in New York City. He served as musical director, where performances included more than the racial mockery typical of minstrelsy. The 1907 program reveals only one ragtime tune typical of the Zip Coon character (a dominant racial stereotype). Ragtime music, syncopated music primarily performed on the piano, contributed greatly to the development of harmonic and melodic complexities of later African-American music (Jones). Though Burleigh called ragtime “the old plantation melody caricatured and debased,” many of Burleigh’s compositions such as “The Frolic” used syncopated rhythms that were clearly influenced by ragtime (Snyder 322). James Reese Europe, a prominent African-American musician, considered ragtime to be a true and natural expression of African-Americans, saying “the Negro plays ragtime as if it was second nature to him -- as it is” (Berlin 246). � https://www.ssmp.mdocs.skidmore.edu/files/original/2517863b17b5e84bb72317caebfd1036.pdf 20f29326986e6b48dac5c1d0c0b5d5aa PDF Text Text in AFRICAN-AMERICANS SARATOGA A frican-Americans have lived in the Capital District for centuries, with 400 serving in the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Nearby Saratoga Springs has long served as a tourist destination for white and black Americans. In the nineteenth-century, the tourism of wealthy white travelers provided AfricanAmericans, including Harry T. Burleigh, with a range of work and business opportunities. So a small year-round presence of 3-5% of the population – growing from 88 in 1830, to 158 in 1855, to 315 in 1960—increased in summer months. African-Americans lived and worked throughout the community of Saratoga Springs. Many settled on Congress, William, Cowen and Franklin Streets close to big hotels and businesses downtown where many were employed. While many held jobs in services – including music and entertainment, cooking, cleaning, racing, staffing dining areas, and laundry -- AfricanAmericans were also respected jockeys, entrepreneurs, and business owners in Saratoga Springs. 4 Solomon Northup Solomon Northup, shown dressed in a “plantation suit.” Twelve Years a Slave, 1859. 5 Saratoga Spa State Park Saratoga Spa State Park, established in 1911 as the New York State Reservation, preserved the spring waters and was built as a resort to draw in all Americans to a European-style springs experience.

This African-American owned and operated business lasted as a club only through the 1940s, however, his restaurant lived much longer and was equipped with a cabaret on the second floor. This cabaret became Jack’s Harlem Club in 1950. Jack invited singers, impersonators, and comedians to contribute to the entertainment of black and white Saratogians and visitors.

Under a new owner in 1872 the hotel became one of the world's largest hotels, with music performances by Victor Herbert and his orchestra -- possibly with a Burleigh cameo. There was a dining room serving 1,400, 824 guest-rooms, a mile of covered piazzas, two miles of corridors, 12 acres of carpeting and an acre of marble tops and floor tiles.” (Denby 42) 7 United States Hotel Hattie Austin at the door of Hattie's, 1969, 7 South Franklin Street.

Saratoga Race Course, opened in 1863, is the third oldest racetrack in the U.S. It’s been in use almost every year since 1864 and in 1999, was ranked as Sports Illustrated's #10 sports venue of the twentieth century. It employed many African-Americans as jockeys, grooms, and stable hands. Isaac Burns Murphy, the “Prince of Jockeys,” especially thrilled crowds in the 1880s and 1890s. Some African-American jockeys, like Wesley Smiley, became trainers. Solomon Northup – a free person of color who was tricked, taken away from his home in Saratoga Springs, and sold into slavery – is an integral part of Saratoga’s history. Solomon and his family moved to Saratoga Springs in March 1834, initially residing on Washington Street, and later moved to the United States Hotel. Northup, like many of his African-American contemporaries, worked in tourism, first as a hack driver for Isaac Taylor who owned Washington Hall and later at the United States Hotel, where he got to know Judge Marvin, the man who ultimately helped secure his release from captivity in Louisiana. Northup was a musician who frequently played at the United States Hotel and other area hotels. Solomon’s story not only produced great works like the book and later film, Twelve Years a Slave, detailing his enslavement and escape, but also increased popular interest in Saratoga Springs.

It contained “768 rooms, a parlor greater than four thousand square feet, and a dining room of more than ten thousand square feet” (Sterngrass).

Area newspapers, including The Saratogian and Albany Evening Journal, do not reveal a direct connection between Burleigh and Mrs. MacDowell. Nor do the Bethesda Episcopal Church archives. It seems unlikely that Burleigh first came to the area in 1880, at 14 (as the 1964 article said). Newspapers seem to first have noted Burleigh in 1892. An article on the Grand Union Hotel staff member described his singing in a service at a Y.M.C.A. affiliated with the Presbyterian church. WORK, WORSHIP SONG and “The services at 4pm began to attract such crowds there was not room for all to hear. To one of the services that year also came the mother of the famous American composer, Edward C. MacDowell. She was Mrs. Frances Knapp MacDowell, a guest at the United States Hotel. Like the others she was entranced and came again and again to hear the Negro youth. In 1892, Mrs. MacDowell made is possible for Burleigh to attend the National Conservatory of Music in NY, where another of his friends became Anton Dvorak, American composer.” - The Saratogian, April 24, 1964 “I have a warm spot in my heart for Saratoga Springs and for its people. I’ll never forget the start I received there. It gave me encouragement to strive higher.” –Harry T. Burleigh, The Saratogian, 1964 Bethesda Episcopal Church was founded in 1830. Saratoga Springs’ first Episcopal church, which seated 600, moved to Washington Street near Broadway, in 1847. Although a 1964 Saratogian article claims Burleigh sang in this church choir in 1880, no documentary evidence yet found confirms the story. Harry T. Burleigh may or may not have been discovered by the classical music world in Saratoga Springs. However, during the summers of 1892 and 1894 he was in the Spa City. The published record confirms the young singer’s dedication to work, worship and song which were a hallmark of his later life and career in New York City. “The new rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association were occupied yesterday for the first time for a Sunday service. The Rev. Dr. F. A. [Netle] of Chicago presided, and the Rev. Dr. Merrick Johnson of Chicago delivered an address. Harry Burleigh, colored, of Erie.

Text from Kirwin’s Saratoga Springs 1983 directory. 1894 FELLOW PERFORMERS A RETURN ENGAGEMENT By 1894, the New York Herald confirms Burleigh’s growing stature. An article on “Saratoga’s Big Season” (August 19) includes Burleigh as a ‘notable guest’ affiliated with the National Conservatory of Music who will sing at a “musicale at the North Broadway cottage of Mrs. John. W. Ehninger of New York.” A week later (August 26), the paper reported how the home’s “spacious parlors were filled with a fashionable and appreciable audience.” Fellow African-American singers also performed in town, including the soprano Sissieretta Jones.

The town also hosted many African American performers, including successful opera and troubadour singer Sissieretta Jones, known popularly as “Black Patti.” Sissieretta Jones Born Matilda Sissieretta Joyner (1869-1933) studied voice at the New England Conservatory. Known as “Black Patti” after an Italian fellow-soprano, she gave concerts in Saratoga Springs that attracted thousands, possibly including Burleigh, in August 1892 and 1894. The Daily Saratogian described one: “[A] great crush of people... began pouring into the park an hour before... the concert.

It is a serious misconception of their meaning and value to treat them as “minstrel” songs, or to try to make them funny by a too literal attempt to imitate the manner of the Negro in singing them….Their worth is weakened unless they are done impressively, for through all these songs there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice and brotherhood of man…. The message is ever manifest that eventually deliverance from all that hinders and oppresses the soul will come, and man—every man— will be free.” -Harry T.

Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication.

Special Collections and Archives, Lucy Scribner Library, Skidmore College (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) Scope Tiered geographical location (for example: United States, New York State, Saratoga County, Saratoga Springs, Congress Park). This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. Neighborhood/District Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Tourist maps Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project. Infrastructure and Communication Travel and Tourism Environment and Conservation Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Health resorts--New York (State)--Saratoga Springs--Maps Subject - Geographic Library of Congress subject headings.

Title A name given to the resource My Father's Shoes Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1976 Description An account of the resource These are a pair of shoes given to me by my father. Years ago when he was looking through his old things he stumbled upon these. These shoes were acquired by him when he was about 18 making them at least 40 years old. My dad got these shoes from his family run department store which he dreamed of taking over. After college my dad did take over these stores for some time and moved on to a different job years later. These shoes are meaningful to me because they meant a lot to my father and he took such good care of them that he could pass them on to me 40 years later.

Moved to the states when he was 11. Grew up in turbulent times. 00:01:32 The 1960s were a time of great music, his sisters music collection got him started in music, and she taught him guitar. He got his own guitar at age 9. It was organic from there, self-taught. In college he got his first banjo for $40, led to listening to more banjo recordings which had mandolin and fiddle so he learned those also. 00:4:47 Came to Skidmore when wife started teaching banjo, still teaches in Vermont – music history and instrumental music, has been teaching for 9 years at Skidmore. Loves teaching college students because of their enthusiasm, likes to teach how to learn music. Being able to teach and having students show appreciation gives great joy. In the 1950's you could not study jazz because of its stigma, enjoys seeing the growth of music. 00:10:21Playing in a group near Albany and was asked to play in the Flurry Festival at a junior high school. Calls contra dancing while playing the fiddle. The festival was on a much smaller scale. It was 1987, the first year it started. 00:12:30 Calling dancing is very common in traditional music and many international dances. In America, it started with dancing masters. There was different organized dances for English, Irish, etc. that colonists brought here. Masters would travel around calling dances, still happens today. The tradition is held. There are several different formations and music types. There is a huge contra dancing society, one of the main reasons for the Flurry. Explains how contra dancing works. Recent Flurry now have gender free dances. 00:18:12 Changes to the Flurry after the move – More space, more variety, more performers, more people. All new dances, new workshops, new instruments. Talks about each new dance, especially international dances. Having it in the middle of winter brings people out and about. 00:22:21 Going to the flurry – overwhelming, sounds from everywhere in every move. Explains the process of looking at a program and deciding which events to go to because there are so many events, you have to plan ahead or else you may miss something amazing. Endless opportunities even for beginners. Always something to do throughout the whole weekend. Young people people now outnumber the people who have been going for years. 00:27:36 Being part of the community – people that go that he plays with that he has known for 40 years. Great to get to visit with old friends. It is always fun to go to the big sessions where a lot of things come together. 00:29:22 How the younger generation effects the feel of the festival – Higher energy level, great to see the change in music. There are always new ways of playing music. Seeing new innovative ways of playing music. 00:32:37 – Big changes to the festival – change happens gradually, but seeing all new forms of international music is exciting. Sometimes get so caught up in appreciating the music and don't notice all of the change until later. Contra dance is still the big social dance. At the very first flury, the danced the finish write off of the gym floor, including the logo. 00:35:34 Doing the festival with wife is priceless. They get to do all of the events together is always fun. 00:36:20 Favorite things to go to at the Festival – Loves the impromptu sessions in the hallway, the percussive dance, and several of the international dances. Went on a tour around the world and got used to hearing music in a new way. 00:38:56 The changing community – mostly in numbers. Incredible population. Diversity has also increased. Especially with gender. Also talks about Irish set dancing. People are coming from farther away, the social media presence is expanding. They have a house full every year which has turned into a tradition. 00:41:53 Affect on Saratoga – Had to battle for space every year. Main street and downtown businesses have been really supportive. Brings in a lot of people to the city. 00:43:20 Other traditions – At the end of the festival, the next conference is a Baptist gospel revival conference. People at flurry are all tired and a mess by the end and the Baptist group is all dressed very nicely. Its funny to compare the two. People make friends very quickly at the Festival. Political, social, plans and networking talked about. There are struggles too, but they all disappear post partum 00:46:37 Other challenges – Staying hydrated and nourished. Trying to get everywhere. Deciding where to go. Very few artistic problems 00:47:59 Favorite memory/story - Lots of favorite things, playing with legendary mandolin players and Peter Davis. Every percussive dance performance is worth seeing. To be a part of the final dance on stage in the big band. 00:52:18 What advice would you give – Print out a schedule and highlight what you want to do. Look forward to it and fear nothing. Fear not. Go to the dances and try to participate. Stay hydrated and dress in layers. 00:55:05 Favorite workshop – percussive dance festival, or funny songs and sing along. Maybe a yoga class! Come to the festival – it’s a great tradition. 00:58:12 End of interview Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Born May 1962 Denver, Colorado. 00:47 Lived in Denver until 9 years old. Grew up w parents and little brother. Parent divorce and mother lost job. Mother and her moved to Schenectady, NY. Family already lived in Northeast. 02:07 At 9 years old in 1st grade, family would travel to Adirondacks. Describes beauty of trees of NE that she wasn’t used to in Colorado. 02:50 Lived in Schenectady until age 22. Moved to Syracuse, Poughkeepsie. 2000 moved to Amsterdam. 2001 moved to town of Glen. Moved to Saratoga a few years later. 03:35 Describes her interest in alternative health and how it led her to Saratoga Springs. Originally on Region’s Street, which used to be Skidmore’s theater where current Bloom yoga studios are. 04:46 Met Joanne Halloran, a naturopathic doctor in Saratoga, who enabled M’elle to start up her private practice. 05:37 Discusses the spiritual healing history of Saratoga and the mineral springs. How it drew people to Saratoga because of the Saratoga Resort and the mineral healing baths. 07:12 Tells us about her specialized practice of myofascial release, similar to a massage bc used hands on body for healing. Discusses what fascia is and its purpose in and on our body. 10:59 Tells story of what inspired/ influenced her into this practice. Picked up on it in P.T school. Put this interest aside after graduating until 9/11. Just married to husband who was in National Guard, got called to be on duty during 9/11. Describes the stress and trauma of the situation being apart from husband. In order to stay busy, she would spend time doing agility classes w/ dog. On her ride home one day after being bombarded by people asking how her husband was doing when she had no way to contact him/ know how he was doing, realized she wants try something “fun and new”. Gets letter about taking classes on myofascial release. 14:44 Worked at a Developmental Center with people with developmental disabilities. Helped w/ those who had limited range of motion physically. Had one patient who was blind & suffered from spastic circumduction gait. Could not walk. Doctor would get mad at M’elle saying she was not “aggressive” enough when treating his range of motion. As gentle as she was, he would whimper and show signs of fear whenever he would hear her coming or hear her voice. When she started using myofascial release concepts and allowed time rather than simply stretching do the work, she saw positive results & less fear and pain felt by patient. 16:59 Husband went to Iraq w/ National Guard Unit. M’elle continued to take classes to keep busy. Set goal to start private practice that would deal solely w myofascial release. 17:56 Discusses how Beekman street in particular enabled her practice to blossom/ be made possible for herself. Found a home on Beekman once she visited the space for the first time. Felt it was an open and warm place, well-suited for the safety she wanted her patients to feel who she aims to help them through the healing they need. Loved the small community of the Arts District. 19:15 15 years ago, movement created to make this area into the “Arts district” to counter the “unsafe” reputation she describes the location had prior due to drugs. The locals wanted to “take back their neighborhood” and create space for artists to come and find live/work situations and produce art. Buildings became reclaimed. Named the building “Saratoga Healing Arts” so, they would fit in with the Arts District. 21:00 Discusses her personal connection to art through the non-traditional and complexity involved with the healing arts. Views every patient as an individual, can’t make assumptions about what they will need. Talks about perspective on different types of healing being their own kind of “art forms”. 22:50 A challenge she runs into on Beekman street is that she doesn’t take insurance & people are not used to that. Parking is also an issue because of restaurants. People who have trouble walking will have issues w/ physical access to getting to practice. 25:16 Agrees with the notion that Beekman street is a location where outsider’s come and find their own place within. Describes the eclectic mix of personalities and neighbors along the street, both in businesses and people who live there. Street fair in June, showcases the community and the artist district. 26:33 Tells story about the time she broke her wrist in May & couldn’t work. Set up a go-fund me account to pay for meals & many friends and neighbors on Beekman donated $$, gift cards, delivered food, help with anything. Felt strong sense of support and being included in the community. 28:40 Describes the openness she sees in the Saratoga area to alternative spiritual practices. Open churches & meditation sessions for anyone no matter their faith or even no-faith. Yoga in the park. Library meditations post 2016 election. Talks about that this is a call for Saratogians to take a stand for what is right, say no to discrimination and racism, and say yes to inclusion. 30:34 Creates a safe space in her practice especially in light of the election. Deals w/ physical trauma which is tied to emotional trauma. Creates a judgement free zone for patients to process whatever emotions may come up during a session. Tries best to keep politics out of the conversations she’ll have during sessions w patients so, that no matter who the person is & who they voted for, it is a safe space for them to process. 32:39 Recounts moments she had to handle situations where patients were emotional during a session. Things like mourning a death of loved one. Had to understand how to handle it if someone is vulnerable especially young people campaigning during the election who felt disenfranchised afterwards. 34:01 “Any emotion you express is a good emotion” 34:17 Discusses the importance of creating a safe emotional space for other human beings. Explains her feelings on those who are in chronic pain are held back from total healing due to this societal trend which encourages us to bottle up our emotions. “Big boys don’t cry.” “Big girls don’t get upset or get angry” There are physical implications tied to containing our emotions. “Issues are in our tissues” 35:48 Words of mentor, John Barnes “If you know what you’re doing before entering the room, you don’t know what you’re doing” (in regards to emotional knowledge of patients beyond their physical condition). Discusses how she handles having patients explain their stories to her that have led them to seek out her practice. 38:43 Always been part of a community even as she moved to a new place bc of family connections. Reflected on her difficult time connecting and believing in the “specifics of the Presbyterian church” which she had to join as a 13 year old girl. Believed in a higher power, but questioned the belief in the father, son, and holy ghost components of the religion. Felt guilty & couldn’t lie. Mother was accepting of this and encouraged her to explore other churches/ places of worship in neighborhood. Never really found anything she felt most connected to, but still remained open until this day. 41:46 Felt part of church community and events & singing. But, reciting prayers she didn’t believe in didn’t sit well with her. Would come to coffee hours and come to services for her joy of music, but never joined church. 43:19 Discusses her love of learning about other religions and cultures. Also, likes to focus on what makes those different practices similar to one another rather than the differences as a way of making the world a better, more harmonious place. “To have small differences in dogma or doctrine become so divisive in our country, I find very sad.” 44:44 Some of the similarities she found as a result of exploring different faiths as a 13 year old girl and throughout her life consist of: there is a higher power no matter what the name is, caring for fellow human beings and animals of this planet, being of service is important, and not judging. 46:00 Shares thoughts on positive experience living and working in Saratoga. Small town w/ many different amenities. 47:14 End Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The overarching theme of the interview I conducted displays Mr. Plaskett's doubtful yet hopeful view for the future of the Lodge. He has been living in Saratoga and participating in the Lodge since 1998 - he has been an Elks member since his youth. As a senior citizen, he remarks the shift he has observed in the priorities and reasons why people join (or do not join) the lodge. Lastly, he focuses on the importance of knowing and maintaining the history of the Elk's lodge, as there has been blatant prejudiced disregard for the continuation of the lodge by the larger Saratoga community. He hopes that by keeping history alive and continuing the narrative, the essence of what Elkdom means to the Black Elks will be kept alive as well.

It’s February 22 nd and I’m in the office of Robert Boyers. So I’d first like to ask you, Bob, if you could tell me where you were born, and if you could just introduce yourself a little bit, that would be great. Robert Boyers: Sure. I’m Bob Boyers. I was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1942, and I’ve been teaching at Skidmore College since the summer, actually, of 1969. SB: Generally, can I start by asking how you came to Skidmore? RB: Well, I came to Skidmore in a rather unusual way. I had started a quarterly magazine called Salmagundi out of my apartment in New York City in the middle 1960s when I was a graduate student at New York University, and we managed to bring out—my friends and I had managed to bring out several issues by the Fall of 1968 when I was contacted by the Provost of Skidmore College—a man named Edwin Mosely who had thought about starting a magazine at Skidmore College, and had gone to the Gotham book mart in New York City and had seen some copies of Salmagundi, noted that they were published out of a post office box in New York City, and thought that it would probably be a good idea to be in touch with me about bringing the magazine to the college. So that’s, really, how I came to Skidmore. I came with a magazine. SB: Can you tell me what your motivation was for starting the magazine, specifically? RB: Well, you know, I had several motives. You know, I was a reader of magazines, obviously, like other young intellectuals and so on. And I had begun writing for some of those magazines very early on when I was a graduate student, before I began Salmagundi. I thought it was something I might like to do. The idea had never actually crossed my mind—I mean, I was only twenty-two when the idea finally did cross my mind—and it was placed there by a middle aged professor named Henry Pachter who was the dean of The New School for Social Research in Manhattan. I won’t tell the whole story—I’ve actually written it up in other places. He was a man I got to know in 1964 and he basically put the idea in my head, and encouraged me to do it, and put me in touch with all sorts of writers and intellectuals that I admired. And with that, I was able to figure out how to launch my own magazine. So, that was sort of the origin of the idea, and of course, you know, one’s motives and ambitions are various under those circumstances. Obviously, I was interested in finding an outlet for certain things that I and my friends wanted to write which, at the time at least, was not very easy for us to place in other magazines including very long and demanding essays that we were writing and wanted to continue to write. So there was that sort of thing, but then, also, we were interested in finding a way to bring together politics in the arts in a way that really wasn’t often done in other magazines right at that moment. I mean, there were magazines like the most famous of them: Partisan Review, which managed to publish material on politics and material on the arts, and literature, and film, and so on. But we wanted to do something that was a little different. We wanted to do politics and literature at the same time—to publish articles that engaged with both politics and literature in the same framework and we managed to do that right from the beginning. The only other ambition I’ll mention—I mean there were others—but, really, I was, myself, very taken with the very lengthy essays that were published in the middle of the nineteenth century in the English quarterlies like �the Edinburgh Review and the Westminster Review—the kinds of articles I loved and studied by writers like John Stuart Mill, and Thomas Carlyle, and John Ruskin—those kinds of writers. And really, there was no other magazine in the United States in that moment which reached a large general, educated readership that would accommodate materials of that length. We began to do that right from the start. The second issue of Salmagundi has a very lengthy article on the politics of Jean-Paul Sartre. And we’ve done that throughout the history of the magazine. So that was one of the things that we had in mind to do which we actually did. SB: Can you talk a little bit about how Skidmore facilitated Salmagundi and how it fit itself into the campus right when you got to Skidmore? RB: Well of course, the bottom line really was that Skidmore provided a budget and offices and a couple of student assistants. We had two student assistants. We had very modest offices. Our offices are, now, much more extensive than they were at the time, and we did have, really, a tiny budget—but it was a budget nevertheless. There was no salary for anybody who worked at the magazine, accept for the student assistants, but we had money for mailing and we had a print budget to pay a printer. This was extraordinary. I had managed to support the magazine out of my own pocket for four years which was very difficult to do, and it was wonderful to have this kind of support. In terms of fitting in at Skidmore; that always been not so very easy to tell you the truth. Most academics, then and now, are really not terribly interested in most things outside the framework of their own academic specialty, and Salmagundi is, by definition, a magazine that encompasses all sorts of different things. So, we always had a small cadre of people at Skidmore professors, and students, and so on who were enthusiastic about the magazine, but most people at the college were not terribly enthusiastic or interested in one way or the other. And that was okay—that was fine. I mean, for one thing, what it meant was that we didn’t have any interference in the running of the magazine. There weren’t enough people out there to be terribly interested in it one way or another, as I say. So there was no impulse to become angry about anything that the magazine doing or failing to do. So that was very useful. But, from the start, we wanted to insert the magazine into the life of the college which is what Edwin Mosley—the Provost of the college—had wanted right from the start. So, from the moment I got here, we began sponsoring the kinds of events that otherwise would never have unfolded at this college. Mainly, we began to sponsor and run conferences—many of them two or three day affairs in which major thinkers, writers, scholars, intellectuals would be brought together and asked to sit around a table for three days or so to debate an important subject. The first of those that we sponsored was actually in 1970, and over the years we’ve done more than thirty of those conferences at the college, and that’s one of the ways in which we hoped to develop the intellectual life of the institution. As I say, most of the faculty here were not terribly interested in or committed to those events, and, in fact, didn’t show up at those events. But it’s been a great thing for the faculty and the students who were interested. And, you know, at any given time there were certainly at least a couple dozen faculty members who were invested in what we were doing and many of those faculty, in fact, participated as speakers in some of those conferences. I will say a very considerable proportion of those faculty members were always in the English department rather than other departments, and that’s always been a source of surprise and disappointment to me after all of the many years I’ve been here. But it’s just a fact of life I’ve learned to accept. �SB: I was wondering if you could turn now to when you first came to Saratoga Springs and your personal experience of coming to Skidmore as a younger man. RB: Well, I mean, the college was somewhat smaller in those days for one thing and when I arrived here we were moving between the old campus in town and the current new campus which wasn't all built up when I arrived here in the late 60's and so on. The place you know of course, in terms of the faculty, certainly wasn't quite as strong then as it's become. We have a much larger proportion of the current faculty right now who are doing significant scholarly work. Many fewer faculty in the late 60's and 70's who were here when I arrived, were doing really significant creative and scholarly work, so that was an important difference. Over the years I've watched all sorts of development in the student body. The students in the late 60's and early 70's were terrific they were very good, then there was a long period of time, a considerable stretch of time, when Skidmore was having a very hard time as many previously male colleges and universities began to accept women and began to compete with Skidmore for women students. So I would say for a period of at least a decade and a bit more, there was a considerable decline in the quality of students we were getting. I mean we always had a number of very good students, but it wasn't until the early 1990's that we began to have the kinds of students that we have become accustomed to over the last 25 years or so where most of our students are actually quite good and many of our students are superb. And again, we went through a period where things were very different. SB: Can you talk a little bit about how gender changed the dynamics of the classroom? RB: Well you know, it's funny because when I came in Skidmore was a women's institution but only for a year or so and in fact in the yearbook for the graduating class of May 1970, because I was a young radical, very radical faculty member at the time, the students asked me to write for their yearbook an article promoting co-education, which I did. And of course I argued that it would be good for everyone including the women at the institution and so on if we took in men. But there was a lot of opposition to that—some of it from current students—but a lot of it from alums. They really felt that the character of the institution would change drastically and in a very unfortunate way. Many of the women I spoke to at the time argued on the basis of experience that they had heard from other people that as soon as male students came into Skidmore, the male students would sort of take over the institution. More or less at once it was said that the Skidmore News, the newspaper would be taken over by males, the literary magazine would be taken over by males, the college government association positions would be taken over by males and so on. It never really happened that way, the fears were exaggerated. I felt they would be exaggerated and although I've been wrong about many things over the course of my years at the college that was one area in which I happen to have been right. The men did not take over the institution. We had strong and brilliant women here in the student body over all of the years and we never had any of that kind of problem in that transition. Of course for awhile, Skidmore wanted to attract male students and had a very hard time doing so and a considerable proportion of the male students we did attract were not nearly to the level of the women students we had, but again, after awhile that began to change and you didn't feel that that was any longer the case. So again, my long years here have been a time when we have watched all sorts of changes taking place. But in terms of the gender problem, I really haven't felt that that has been a significant thing at least in my own experience of the classroom and the institution as a whole. �SB: Can you talk a little bit about how the English Department has changed over the years and how it has grown. I understand you play a big role in hiring faculty members. RB: Yes, for many years I was on the Hiring Committee and the Personnel Committee here and until quite recently in fact our Personal Committee in the department was also the Hiring Committee. We didn't have, for most of the years I've been at the college, separate committees assembled to hire a person for a particular position. Again, the people who were on the Personnel Committee, who were elected to that committee, handled not only assessment, which is to say reappointments, tenure, promotions and all of the hiring. So I was involved in hiring, I had a hand in it, I wasn't the person in charge of it, but I had a hand in it and in the hiring just about everybody who is in the department now and that was a wonderful opportunity to be involved in that. The department has changed in a great many ways, and it's hard to say exactly how. I mean you could point to particular areas where the changes have been dramatic. For example, when I came in there was a poet named Lawrence Josephs who taught a poetry workshop each year. He had an academic background and he was a good but not well-known poet, he did not have a book of poems. He was a man, when I came in, who was in his fifties and he had been here for quite some time. We didn't have a creative writing faculty at all, we didn't have a fiction writer on staff. There was no such thing as creative non-fiction. And again, the only person who taught the poetry workshop was this one man Lawrence Josephs and so I and a number of other people began to fight for the idea that to be credible and to offer creative writing in a serious way, we had to recruit and hire creative writers who were significant authors and had well received books to their credit and so on, and who would basically be hired for that purpose. They wouldn't just be professors with PhD's in an academic subject who felt they could teach a course in fiction and so on, which by the way was never taught when I originally came in at Skidmore. So that was one very significant change and as I say I was one of the people who fought very hard for that. Other areas were very different, we often had considerable battles within the department about whether or not we wanted to hire people specifically to teach freshman composition. Many people felt that it was a good idea for everyone to teach freshman composition, not to hire a separate cadre of people who only did that. But basically over the years I think we sort of have all adapted to the situation as its evolved. And the college as a whole, again I think the faculty certainly has become stronger and in recent years, the student body has become stronger. So I would say in general Skidmore is at a pretty good place right now. I mean I could get into all sorts of parochial matters that are still struggling about but probably not of great interest to people who are not academics themselves. For example, the relationship between theory and what we call primary literature itself. In my own estimation in the profession of literature these days we have lots of people who are entering English Departments who are primarily interested in theory and have very little interest in Literature itself. I think that is very unfortunate. People in my generation generally went in to college English teaching because they were passionate about poetry and fiction and such things. We were interested in ideas, some of us like myself were intellectuals who write about all sorts of issues and topics and so on. But our passion is really about poetry and fiction and the primary texts and the arts and so on. I think my sense has been that many people in the profession, and that includes some people at the college as well, are not that interested in literature for its own sake. They are interested in it for the uses they can make of it in connection with their own theoretical investments, which I think is fine as long as they don't communicate that feeling in �the classroom. In so far as they do, my sense is that the students are not getting what they aught to get when they enroll in classes in Literature. But again, that's just one view and there are many other views that are held by very smart people who see things rather in a different way. SB: I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about the New York Summer Writers Institute and how that has cemented itself into Skidmore. RB: Yeah that's another one of those things that certainly to me came as an enormous surprise. You know I'm not by temperament or disposition an administrator. There was a time years ago when people would come to me and say you should be Chair of the Department or Dean of the College or something and I'd say no, no I have no interest in doing something like that and I'm not really good at that sort of thing. But 31 years ago Skidmore was approached by the novelist William Kennedy who had just begun the New York State Writers Institute in Albany at the State University. He had a dream of starting a summer program and thought that such a program would be very attractive if it was started at a small liberal arts school like Skidmore and in a town like Saratoga Springs. And so because of Salmagundi and my connections with dozens and dozens of writers and so on, people who were approached thought I would be the obvious person to direct such and institute and it seemed like a nice idea and I thought to do it for a short while. I never really dreamed that I would feel like staying with it for a long time. Again, because it involved a certain type of administrative function that really was not ever part of my ambition, but I found that I liked it and that I was able to build the program into a national program over the course of the first 5 or 6 years. I was given rather a free hand to do that and so the program grew and I found that it was very important to me in a whole variety of ways, some of which were personal some of which were professional. I could mention the personal that is sort of interesting, in the sense that my wife, Peg Boyers, who was the Executive Director of Salmagundi and an occasional writer of critical prose, sort of got the feeling after the first 8 or 10 years of the writers institute that she wanted to try to write poetry. She began to enroll in summer courses first with the poet Robert Pinsky but then shortly thereafter with the poet Frank Bidart and suddenly discovered that she was, lo and behold, a first rate poet and has now gone on to publish three well received books of poems and so that has rather changed her life. Of course I will always be grateful for the fact that the New York State Summer Writers Institute came to me and that I was able to make something of it because it gave my wife this whole extraordinary unexpected career, so there was that. But there was another aspect of it that was through the Writers Institute I became close to dozens of first rate writers who began to contribute their writing to Salmagundi Magazine, which is a magazine that of course by that time had a large national reputation as small quarterly but which for the most part could not have acquired the first rate writing of many of those writers had we not developed personal relationships with them. The simple reason is that we don't pay money. They can give that writing to national magazines, so that's been an extraordinary benefit that I never imagined would come to pass when I decided to take on the Summer Writers Institute. Of course it has been great to have the program here at the college. Our public events 5 nights a week draw good audiences, every night of the week in the auditorium and we get lots of publicity for the college all over the country which is very important to the college and very important to me as somebody who has been at the college for almost a half century. That has been wonderful. The truth is again most faculty at the college don't have anything to do with the institute, don't come to the readings, don't derive any benefit personally or professionally from it which is fine. The seats are filled �every night in the auditorium from people far and wide who come to the events and so on and of course we draw students to the workshops from all over the country, a small number of Skidmore students enroll every year but we have students every year from major universities and small colleges all over the country. SB: I guess going back a little bit, to when you first came to Skidmore; I know there was a lot of student protests happening at the time and I was wondering what the Skidmore student body was like at the time and if you could compare it to the student body now a little bit. RB: Well you know I think in the life of any institution the sort of student politics rises and falls depending on the particular student cohort. In a school like Skidmore, a relatively small number of students can change the atmosphere on the campus in extraordinary ways. When I say small number, I really mean a small number, a dozen, fifteen, twenty students out of 2,000 or more students could really mobilize energies on a campus like this in ways that are quite extraordinary. In the late 1960's when I arrived it was an era all across the country of student radicalism and student protest, but the truth is the overwhelming majority of students at Skidmore at the time were not activists, whatever the sort of publicity that's sometimes put out by people who are themselves activists and so on and remember fondly the "good old days" when..., I mean most students then and now are invested in their academic work and their clubs and their teams and so on and are not deeply invested in politics certainly not in radical politics. There was, however, in the moment of the late 60's and early 70's, a considerable minority of Skidmore students who were very involved in politics both on and off the campus. I was myself very involved in antiWar activities and Civil Rights activities on the campus. I was among a small number, it was a very small number, of faculty members who were basically mobilizing student activism back at that moment. But even then, there were considerable differences of opinion about what mobilizing student activists should entail. If you like I can give you an example. At the time of the Kent State killings in the Spring of 1970, which was the end of my own first year at Skidmore College, there were student protests and lots of Skidmore students became involved, many more that I could of imagined would be possible. I mean hundreds of students were involved in on-campus marches and protests. We began to organize, that is 3 other faculty members and I began to organize teach-ins which would address the war in Vietnam, the question of student activism itself, Civil Rights issues as they were then emerging and so on. And basically it was the tail end of the semester and it called a halt to classes. Many faculty members were very angry about this, understandably I think it is fair to say, and I think this history is available in back issues of the Skidmore New and Saratogian and that sort of thing because obviously it really was newsworthy at least in this immediate local. On one of those teach-in occasions, as we were moving into the second day of our sort of work stoppage and student strike, we were moving toward the final exam period and one of the faculty, a full-time member of the English department in Skidmore, a man about my age, in his mid twenties, a very brilliant young man, got up and urged that we continue the strike right through the final exam period that we simply force the cancelation of the exams. Many students were very upset about this and spoke out at that meeting. And of course there were other faculty members who were very upset about it and again I would say legitimately so and that seemed to me a very important turning point. I as one of the leaders of this organization argued that this was not a good thing to do to put students in jeopardy, students were about to graduate, they needed the course credits and so on. My colleague and I had a ferocious public argument on the subject with lots of other �people participating and basically his view was that these kinds of things are much more terrifying in your imagination than they actually turn out to be in reality. My view was that no actually they can be quite terrifying. People who have spent enormous sums of money and suddenly find that they cannot graduate because they don't have the academic credits to do so have real reason to be terrified and their parents have legitimate reason to be very upset and so on and this is taking the whole thing too far. I don't pretend to be right about this sort of thing, but I am pointing it out to suggest that these types of debates were going on at colleges and universities all over the country and it took place here at Skidmore with hundreds and hundreds of students very much involved. But you know over the years after that point there have been intermittent student mobilizations and protests on behalf of one thing or another and again most Skidmore students haven't been deeply involved in those mobilizations and its always very nice to see an occasional sort of eruption of concern where there is a march or a student protest and so on and it's nice to see that Skidmore students are in fact paying attention to what is going on out there in the world. Of course many of those things unfortunately follow what might be called the ideological fashion and lots of people jump on to a particular bandwagon only because it is the thing that is being done all over the country at any given moment and of course that sort of momentary fashion passes the interest in the issues disappears. I think we have seen that over and over and over again and it's not really surprising, but it's the way of things and it is no different in that sense at Skidmore than it is anywhere else. SB: That was great. We are almost done, but I was wondering if there was anything specifically that you would like to mention about Skidmore in general or about any specific anecdotes or encounters with the Presidents like David Porter or anything like that. RB: Well I have had in general, very warm relationships with the various administrations that I have lived through. My sense is that the present administration, President Glotzbach and Beau Breslin and so on are exceptionally good, smart and dedicated. We have our differences to put it mildly, I mean that's what you would want, I mean I think that is what they would want, that people are thinking about real issues have their differences. I've been very concerned frankly in the last few years in the way I have been intimately over the last 25 years or so, about the, what might be called the reign of political correctness on this campus and other campuses. That is an area in which the present administration and I have some rather considerable differences of opinion. Of course time will tell whether these differences are significant as they sometimes seem to me to be. These kinds of problems having to do with political correctness and so on can be very worrying when you think about the way they play out in the classroom, when you think about the way they constrain open discussion and conversation of subjects in the classroom. It can be very worrying if you think about the way they shape the recruitment of new faculty and I'm frankly worried about those things. I've seen things recently over the years, especially recently, which seem to me to suggest that these issues are more important right now than they have been in the past and my sense is that administration typically runs scared when these kinds of things erupt. They worry that the faculty will find them at fault, will censure them and then they don't adopt the kinds of leadership that they are capable of. I haven't seen that just yet occurring with the present Skidmore Administration but there are worrying signs at least for me and some of my colleagues who are similarly worried, and I hope that our fears are, as they sometimes are, exaggerated or misguided, but we will see. �SB: Okay, last question. If you could talk about some of the things you are proud of and what Skidmore has meant to you. RB: Well you know of course I love to teach and I'm old enough to stop, to retire. I'm hoping to keep going, which says a lot about what matters most to me and what I'm pleased about as I look back over my years at the college. Every year for a very long time now at the alumni reunion in late May early June I give a mini class on some subject or other and every year I have a very large crowd turning out and of course many of them are people from a very long time ago who studied with me many many years ago and are coming back to their thirtieth reunion or their fortieth reunion that sort of thing. We get to see one another and remember the past and that sort of thing and that is important to me when I know that these students from the past remember these classes together as formative to them in some way and that of course is in some ways the most important thing. A considerable cohort of students who become very close friends, whom I see on a regular basis, come and stay with us for the weekend and that is sort of great. When we had the last Salmagundi conference this past fall the 50th Anniversary conference, we had 7 former students who graduated in the past who came back for the 3 days, two of them flew in from San Francisco, that was great to me. If you ask me what are you proud of what are you gratified by...That. That is very important to me more than anything else in many ways. SB: Great! Thanks a lot Bob RB: You are welcome.
