He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing. Among these books are first editions and signed copies, many of which are both. Included in these books are several written by the poets represented in the Gresham Correspondence Collection: Enid Starkie's  Arthur Rimbaud ,  Andre Gide , and  Baudelaire ; John Gassner's  The Theater in Our Times  and  Masters of the Drama ; W.H. Auden's  The Collected Poetry of W.H. Auden ,  The Shield of Achilles ,  Nones , and  The Age of Anxiety ; Marianne Moore's  The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore ; Muriel Rukeyser's  Selected Poems ; and W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's  Journey to a War . In addition to the many books donated, the family also donated Gresham's collection of incunabula leaves (see  MS-11 Gresham Incunabula Leaves Collection ).","Enid Starkie (1897-1970) was born in Ireland and studied in both Ireland and England. She was an author of biographies and taught modern languages at the University of Oxford, University of Exeter, and Hollins College (now Hollins University).","John Gassner (1903-1967) was born in Hungary and lived in New York. He attended Columbia University, receiving his Masters. He taught at Labor Temple School (1925-1927), Columbia University, Hunter College (1928-1945), and Bryn Mawr College (1941-1943). Gassner was a playwright and wrote for several magazines, including the  New York Times Book Review .","Wystan Hugh Auden – better known as W.H. Auden – (1907-1973) was from England and emigrated to the United States during WWII (1939). He was a playwright and an author of poetry. Most of his poems were of a political and moral nature. During the Spanish Civil War, Auden spent time in Spain writing. Auden graduated from Oxford in 1928 and married Erika Mann in 1935 to protect her from the Nazi's. Mann stayed behind when Auden emigrated to the United States; the pair never divorced and remained friends. Auden wrote a few plays with Chester Kallman – his lifelong companion. Auden taught poetry at Oxford University from 1956-1961. In 1948, Auden won a Pulitzer Prize for  The Age of Anxiety ; the Gresham family donated a signed copy.","May Sarton (1912-1995) was a poet and author of novels. She is known for her interest in feminism and sexuality, which transfers to her writing. Sarton was born in Belgium, but in 1914, the family fled to England due to WWI. In 1918, the family emigrated to the United States where Sarton remained. The theater was Sarton's first love; after acting for a small New York theater, she ran her own theater company, but had to take on extra work to keep the theater's finances in the black. She began writing literary reviews specifically about theater, but dabbled in poetry as well. She briefly wrote documentary scripts for the United States Office of War Information. During the 1930s, she taught at Stuart School in Boston and from 1950-1953 she taught composition at Harvard University.","Barbara Guest (1920-2006) was an American poet and playwright. In addition, Guest also wrote art reviews for magazines, such as  Art News  and  Art in America . Guest graduated from the University of California, at Berkeley and lived in New York. Among the awards Guest won during her lifetime, include the Lawrence Lipton Award for Literature (1990) and the Robert Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement from Poetry Society of America (1999).","Marianne Moore (1887-1972) was an American poet known for her diverse writings. Moore grew up in the Midwest and graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1909. She lived in New York with her mother throughout her life. The literary community viewed her as an \"auntie figure\" and a mentor. During her lifetime, Moore won many awards: Levinson Prize from Poetry Magazine (1932), Pulitzer Prize for  Collected Poems  (1951), and gold medals from Poetry Society of America (1960 \u0026 1967).","Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) was an American poet and political activist. She attended school at Vassar College from 1930-1932, but did not graduate. Upon her departure from Vassar, Rukeyser started the journal  Student Review  with three other women. In 1933, Rukeyser travelled to Alabama to cover the Scottsboro, Alabama, trial of nine African-American boys who were accused of raping two white females, but Rukeyser was detained during the trial. In 1936, she went to Spain to cover an athletic competition; however, by the time she arrived, the Spanish Civil War had begun and Rukeyser began working for the medical bureau in Spain. Rukeyser was frequently involved with political activism and was an advocate against inhumanity. She taught at Sarah Lawrence College in 1946 and 1956-1967. She spoke several languages, including French, Spanish, Swedish, and Italian and enjoyed translating poems in these languages. Among her many awards are the Oscar Blumethal Prize in poetry (1940), Harriet Monroe Poetry Award (1941), and the Levinson Prize in poetry (1947). \nPaul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947. He was a classmate of William Dew Gresham's. Duke wrote a sports column during his time at the university. Duke is best known for his time on the television program Washington Week in Review where he worked for twenty years. During his time on the show, Duke was inducted into the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame (1992).","Paul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947.

The majority of the correspondences are replies to Gresham's invitations to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia. Some of the correspondence Gresham saved was not written by him or to him. The collection also houses several programs, pamphlets, and newspaper articles that support Gresham's dedication and love of literature and culture.","Series I, Gresham Correspondence, includes correspondence between William Gresham and several poets. The letters are regarding Gresham's invitations for various poets to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia in Williamsburg, Virginia. May Sarton spoke for the organization on May 14, 1960. Most of her letters are regarding her travel arrangements.","Series II, Pamphlets, Writings, and Newspaper Clippings, contains several personal keepsakes, most notably, a poem written by Gresham, two booklets – one autographed by Pearl S. Buck and the other by Art Buchwald – and a Christmas poem written by May Sarton.","Series III, Other Correspondence, comprises correspondence that did not include Gresham. One letter in particular was a thank you note from the poet George Dillon to Gresham's wife Nancy. The last item in the series is a payment note for a cab in Richmond; however, there does not appear to be any connection to Gresham himself and was written over twenty years before Gresham's birth.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing. Among these books are first editions and signed copies, many of which are both.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing.

He was the Secretary of Richmond's Democratic Committee and challenged Joseph Bryan, an American publisher and industrialist from Richmond to a duel in 1894. Bryan refused him publicly in The Richmond Times, effectively ending the practice in Virginia, saying that duels were uncivilized. ","Wallace went on to study commercial art in New York and returned to Richmond to work. He was active in fraternal organizations and served as a Master Mason of Dove Lodge for nearly 52 years. He served as a high priest of the Temple Chapter No 32, Temple Chapter No 32, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF\u0026AM), and an honorary member of Fraternal Lodge No 53.

The occasion marked the culmination of more than sixteen years of effort that began in December 1919 with a gift of 51 artworks from Judge John Barton Payne. In spite of the Great Depression, Virginia Governor John Garland Pollard secured the support to meet Payne's $100,000 challenge grant, and the two men established the first state-run art museum in the United States.","Payne was born in Pruntytown, Virginia, in 1855, where his father, Dr. Amos Payne, had taken his family to establish a medical practice. In 1860, the family returned to the Payne homestead – a farm in Fauquier County, Virginia – and it was here that Payne spent his formative years. Payne taught himself law by reading each volume, one by one, of Blackstone's Commentaries and began his career as a lawyer in 1876, at age 21, when he was admitted to the Bar. In 1883, having completed his mayoral tenure in Kingwood, West Virginia, he moved to Chicago and attained considerable influence as a lawyer, judge, and philanthropist. He also started collecting art. Payne was engaged with the preeminent Art Institute of Chicago on a number of different levels, and it likely framed his idea of what an art museum should be – an educational and collecting institution for the benefit of the public.","By 1914, with the outbreak of World War I, Payne was appointed to the U.S. Treasury Board of Appeals, serving as general counsel for both the Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation and the United States Railroad Administration. His principal role was as an arbitrator – a peace-keeper – during Wilson's and subsequent administrations. When World War I ended in 1918, Payne spent the next year helping to negotiate the nuances and politics of peace as the recently appointed Secretary of the Interior. He resigned his position in 1921 so that he could serve as chairman of the American Red Cross. Payne served at the helm of the Red Cross under four administrations, and until the end of his life.","In December of 1919, following the death of his second wife, Jennie Byrd Bryan Payne – who was an artist in her own right – and in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Barton Smith, Payne wrote to Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis offering his collection of paintings to \"his mother,\" the Commonwealth of Virginia. The offer was passed by the Virginia legislature on February 20, 1920. To realize his vision, in 1932, Payne offered the Commonwealth a matching grant of $100,000 to construct an art museum. Incredibly, despite the Depression, Governor Pollard was able to match the grant. Construction took place between 1934 and 1936, and Payne and Pollard served consecutively as the institution's first and second presidents. But it was Payne's vision that established the museum's mission and set the course for the next century: a public-private partnership—the first state-run art museum in the United States; a collection based entirely of private philanthropy; and a community of people from every walk of life.","Payne died in 1935, a year before the museum opened from pneumonia contracted following an appendicitis attack and he was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C.","Text by Dr. Susan J. Rawles, Associate Curator of American Painting and Decorative Art","The collection was transferred from the Collections Department in 2018.

The offer was passed by the Virginia legislature on February 20, 1920. To realize his vision, in 1932, Payne offered the Commonwealth a matching grant of $100,000 to construct an art museum. Incredibly, despite the Depression, Governor Pollard was able to match the grant.

Construction took place between 1934 and 1936, and Payne and Pollard served consecutively as the institution's first and second presidents. But it was Payne's vision that established the museum's mission and set the course for the next century: a public-private partnership—the first state-run art museum in the United States; a collection based entirely of private philanthropy; and a community of people from every walk of life.","Payne died in 1935, a year before the museum opened from pneumonia contracted following an appendicitis attack and he was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C.","Text by Dr. Susan J.

The occasion marked the culmination of more than sixteen years of effort that began in December 1919 with a gift of 51 artworks from Judge John Barton Payne. In spite of the Great Depression, Virginia Governor John Garland Pollard secured the support to meet Payne's $100,000 challenge grant, and the two men established the first state-run art museum in the United States.","Payne was born in Pruntytown, Virginia, in 1855, where his father, Dr. Amos Payne, had taken his family to establish a medical practice. In 1860, the family returned to the Payne homestead – a farm in Fauquier County, Virginia – and it was here that Payne spent his formative years. Payne taught himself law by reading each volume, one by one, of Blackstone's Commentaries and began his career as a lawyer in 1876, at age 21, when he was admitted to the Bar. In 1883, having completed his mayoral tenure in Kingwood, West Virginia, he moved to Chicago and attained considerable influence as a lawyer, judge, and philanthropist. He also started collecting art. Payne was engaged with the preeminent Art Institute of Chicago on a number of different levels, and it likely framed his idea of what an art museum should be – an educational and collecting institution for the benefit of the public.","By 1914, with the outbreak of World War I, Payne was appointed to the U.S. Treasury Board of Appeals, serving as general counsel for both the Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation and the United States Railroad Administration. His principal role was as an arbitrator – a peace-keeper – during Wilson's and subsequent administrations. When World War I ended in 1918, Payne spent the next year helping to negotiate the nuances and politics of peace as the recently appointed Secretary of the Interior. He resigned his position in 1921 so that he could serve as chairman of the American Red Cross. Payne served at the helm of the Red Cross under four administrations, and until the end of his life.","In December of 1919, following the death of his second wife, Jennie Byrd Bryan Payne – who was an artist in her own right – and in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Barton Smith, Payne wrote to Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis offering his collection of paintings to \"his mother,\" the Commonwealth of Virginia. The offer was passed by the Virginia legislature on February 20, 1920. To realize his vision, in 1932, Payne offered the Commonwealth a matching grant of $100,000 to construct an art museum. Incredibly, despite the Depression, Governor Pollard was able to match the grant. Construction took place between 1934 and 1936, and Payne and Pollard served consecutively as the institution's first and second presidents. But it was Payne's vision that established the museum's mission and set the course for the next century: a public-private partnership—the first state-run art museum in the United States; a collection based entirely of private philanthropy; and a community of people from every walk of life.","Payne died in 1935, a year before the museum opened from pneumonia contracted following an appendicitis attack and he was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C.","Text by Dr. Susan J. Rawles, Associate Curator of American Painting and Decorative Art","The collection was transferred from the Collections Department in 2018.
