Thought to have been born in 1876 in Philadelphia, details of Pratt's life still remain sketchy and limited. By 1900, she was working as a stenographer at the Puget Sound Flouring Mill, and in 1917, married her second husband, John Lee Pratt, a self-made millionaire engineer and businessman with General Motors. By 1931, they had settled at Chatham Manor in John's native Virginia, and Pratt spent over a decade amassing a collection of over 500 items, eighty percent of which is Russian decorative art, mainly Fabergé.","Pratt began collecting while accompanying her husband on business trips to New York City, shopping in her spare time, and possibly becoming enchanted with the Hammer Galleries' \"Russian Imperial Exhibit\" at Lord and Taylor in the early 1930s. While the total amount she spent during that time is unknown, she spent $100,000 alone at New York City's Schaffer Collection. She simultaneously purchased items, including four of her five imperial Easter eggs, from the Hammer Galleries. Her collection includes not only the finest imperial eggs, but also miniature eggs, jewelry, framed photographs, boxes, handles, flowers, and animal figures, among many other types of objects. Whatever her collecting may have been (besides simply furnishing her new home), her fascination with Russian royalty was enduring, and has been shared with museum visitors for over 60 years.","Source: Fabergé: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts","The collection was transferred over time to the VMFA Library in the 2000s by museum staff members Dr. David Park Curry, Curator of the Fabergé collection, David Bradley, Foundation Director, and Richard Woodward, Deputy Director for Architecture and Design. The estate tax information was given to Woodward from the Honorable John D. Butzner, Jr. in the 1970s. The bulk of the collection was accessioned into the VMFA Archives' collection in February 2011. In January 2015, an additional collection of original documents were transferred from the Curatorial files to the Pratt collection.","A large number of publications (almost entirely sales and exhibition catalogs) were interfiled into this collection over the years. None of the publications indicated that they were actually Pratt's personal copies, and almost all had been stamped by the VMFA Library or other departments. Therefore, all of the publications were removed and added to the VMFA Library's holdings during processing. A complete list of these publications is available from the Archivist.","The collection's inclusive dates are 1901-1947, with the bulk of the material dating from 1933-1945. The collection is comprised of correspondence, invoices, price tags, item descriptions, exhibition labels, estate tax information and inventories, newspaper clippings, drawings and photographs.","The collection is subject to all copyright laws.

Bequeathed to the museum upon her death in 1947, Pratt's Fabergé collection consistently remains one of the highlights of the museum's permanent collection. Pratt purchased most of her Fabergé collection from the Schaffer Collection and Hammer Galleries, both of New York City, in the 1930s and 1940s. Comprised of correspondence, invoices, price tags, and detailed item descriptions, this collection illuminates Pratt's mind as a collector, as well as her relationship with one of her dealers, Alexander Schaffer.","Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Archives","Schaffer Collection","A La Vieille Russie (Firm)","Hammer Galleries","Virginia Museum of Fine Arts","Fabergé (Firm)","United States.

Thought to have been born in 1876 in Philadelphia, details of Pratt's life still remain sketchy and limited. By 1900, she was working as a stenographer at the Puget Sound Flouring Mill, and in 1917, married her second husband, John Lee Pratt, a self-made millionaire engineer and businessman with General Motors. By 1931, they had settled at Chatham Manor in John's native Virginia, and Pratt spent over a decade amassing a collection of over 500 items, eighty percent of which is Russian decorative art, mainly Fabergé.","Pratt began collecting while accompanying her husband on business trips to New York City, shopping in her spare time, and possibly becoming enchanted with the Hammer Galleries' \"Russian Imperial Exhibit\" at Lord and Taylor in the early 1930s. While the total amount she spent during that time is unknown, she spent $100,000 alone at New York City's Schaffer Collection. She simultaneously purchased items, including four of her five imperial Easter eggs, from the Hammer Galleries. Her collection includes not only the finest imperial eggs, but also miniature eggs, jewelry, framed photographs, boxes, handles, flowers, and animal figures, among many other types of objects. Whatever her collecting may have been (besides simply furnishing her new home), her fascination with Russian royalty was enduring, and has been shared with museum visitors for over 60 years.","Source: Fabergé: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts","The collection was transferred over time to the VMFA Library in the 2000s by museum staff members Dr. David Park Curry, Curator of the Fabergé collection, David Bradley, Foundation Director, and Richard Woodward, Deputy Director for Architecture and Design. The estate tax information was given to Woodward from the Honorable John D. Butzner, Jr. in the 1970s. The bulk of the collection was accessioned into the VMFA Archives' collection in February 2011. In January 2015, an additional collection of original documents were transferred from the Curatorial files to the Pratt collection.","A large number of publications (almost entirely sales and exhibition catalogs) were interfiled into this collection over the years. None of the publications indicated that they were actually Pratt's personal copies, and almost all had been stamped by the VMFA Library or other departments. Therefore, all of the publications were removed and added to the VMFA Library's holdings during processing. A complete list of these publications is available from the Archivist.","The collection's inclusive dates are 1901-1947, with the bulk of the material dating from 1933-1945. The collection is comprised of correspondence, invoices, price tags, item descriptions, exhibition labels, estate tax information and inventories, newspaper clippings, drawings and photographs.","The collection is subject to all copyright laws.

Bequeathed to the museum upon her death in 1947, Pratt's Fabergé collection consistently remains one of the highlights of the museum's permanent collection. Pratt purchased most of her Fabergé collection from the Schaffer Collection and Hammer Galleries, both of New York City, in the 1930s and 1940s. Comprised of correspondence, invoices, price tags, and detailed item descriptions, this collection illuminates Pratt's mind as a collector, as well as her relationship with one of her dealers, Alexander Schaffer.","Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Archives","Schaffer Collection","A La Vieille Russie (Firm)","Hammer Galleries","Virginia Museum of Fine Arts","Fabergé (Firm)","United States.

Thought to have been born in 1876 in Philadelphia, details of Pratt's life still remain sketchy and limited. By 1900, she was working as a stenographer at the Puget Sound Flouring Mill, and in 1917, married her second husband, John Lee Pratt, a self-made millionaire engineer and businessman with General Motors. By 1931, they had settled at Chatham Manor in John's native Virginia, and Pratt spent over a decade amassing a collection of over 500 items, eighty percent of which is Russian decorative art, mainly Fabergé.","Pratt began collecting while accompanying her husband on business trips to New York City, shopping in her spare time, and possibly becoming enchanted with the Hammer Galleries' \"Russian Imperial Exhibit\" at Lord and Taylor in the early 1930s. While the total amount she spent during that time is unknown, she spent $100,000 alone at New York City's Schaffer Collection. She simultaneously purchased items, including four of her five imperial Easter eggs, from the Hammer Galleries. Her collection includes not only the finest imperial eggs, but also miniature eggs, jewelry, framed photographs, boxes, handles, flowers, and animal figures, among many other types of objects. Whatever her collecting may have been (besides simply furnishing her new home), her fascination with Russian royalty was enduring, and has been shared with museum visitors for over 60 years.","Source: Fabergé: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts","The collection was transferred over time to the VMFA Library in the 2000s by museum staff members Dr. David Park Curry, Curator of the Fabergé collection, David Bradley, Foundation Director, and Richard Woodward, Deputy Director for Architecture and Design. The estate tax information was given to Woodward from the Honorable John D. Butzner, Jr. in the 1970s. The bulk of the collection was accessioned into the VMFA Archives' collection in February 2011. In January 2015, an additional collection of original documents were transferred from the Curatorial files to the Pratt collection.","A large number of publications (almost entirely sales and exhibition catalogs) were interfiled into this collection over the years. None of the publications indicated that they were actually Pratt's personal copies, and almost all had been stamped by the VMFA Library or other departments. Therefore, all of the publications were removed and added to the VMFA Library's holdings during processing. A complete list of these publications is available from the Archivist.","The collection's inclusive dates are 1901-1947, with the bulk of the material dating from 1933-1945. The collection is comprised of correspondence, invoices, price tags, item descriptions, exhibition labels, estate tax information and inventories, newspaper clippings, drawings and photographs.","The collection is subject to all copyright laws.

Bequeathed to the museum upon her death in 1947, Pratt's Fabergé collection consistently remains one of the highlights of the museum's permanent collection. Pratt purchased most of her Fabergé collection from the Schaffer Collection and Hammer Galleries, both of New York City, in the 1930s and 1940s. Comprised of correspondence, invoices, price tags, and detailed item descriptions, this collection illuminates Pratt's mind as a collector, as well as her relationship with one of her dealers, Alexander Schaffer.","Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Archives","Schaffer Collection","A La Vieille Russie (Firm)","Hammer Galleries","Virginia Museum of Fine Arts","Fabergé (Firm)","United States.

Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016.

Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016. He remained in Virginia with his wife until his death at the age of 89 on January 23, 2018.","Processed by Taylor McNeilly and Andrea Kohashi.","Materials in this collection include personal papers and administrative files of Dr. Walker, audio recordings of church services he led primarily at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, photographs and slides taken by Dr. Walker and his family, honors and awards given to Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. Walker's personal library, Dr. Walker's published books, and other memorabilia and ephemera.

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.

He graduated from University of Chicago. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his book of poems entitled Flowering Stone (1930s).","Gilbert Murray (1866-1957) was an English classicist and translator of Greek literature. He graduated from St. John's College, Oxford and later taught at New College, Oxford where he was the Regius Professor of Greek (1908-1936). Upon his death, his ashes were placed at Westminster Abbey.","Due to deterioration of the newspaper clipping in Series I, File 2, the original clipping was discarded and has been replaced by a photocopied version.","Processed by Kelly Bryan.","This collection contains correspondence between William Gresham and several poets. 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 1910-12 he held a Fellowship in the research department of the Boston School for Social Workers. While in Boston he was a resident of the St. Mary's House for Sailors and also of South End House and in addition was a member of Conference 7 of the Associated Charities. In 1912-13 he taught history and social science in Tarleton College (Texas) and in 1914-15 sociology and statistics at the University of Illinois. In 1915 he was a lecturer in the Summer School for Social and Religious Workers conducted by the Biblical Department of Vanderbilt University and the American Interchurch College. He was registered at Columbia University in 1913-14 and 1915-16, attending courses under Professors Giddings and Tenney in sociology, under Professors Seligman and Seager in Economics, under Professor Devine in Social Economy, and Professor Chaddock in Statistics.

His dissertation was entitled \"Infant Mortality: Its Relations to Social and Industrial Conditions.\"","In 1917, a group of Richmond community leaders organized what became the Richmond School of Social Work and Public Health to address urban social and health concerns.

In 1925, the school began an affiliation with the College of William and Mary. In 1939 the school was renamed the Richmond Professional Institute (RPI) of the College of William and Mary. In 1968, The Richmond Professional Institute merged with the Medical College of Virginia to become Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).","Hibbs retired in 1959 after 42 years of heading the school, and by the early 1960s he and his wife, Jessie R.

In 1908 he graduated from Williamsburg Institute in Kentucky. He attended Brown University and majored in Sociology after becoming interested in the problems of urban communities, receiving his A.B. degree in 1910 and the A.M. degree in 1911. In 1910-12 he held a Fellowship in the research department of the Boston School for Social Workers. While in Boston he was a resident of the St. Mary's House for Sailors and also of South End House and in addition was a member of Conference 7 of the Associated Charities. In 1912-13 he taught history and social science in Tarleton College (Texas) and in 1914-15 sociology and statistics at the University of Illinois. In 1915 he was a lecturer in the Summer School for Social and Religious Workers conducted by the Biblical Department of Vanderbilt University and the American Interchurch College. He was registered at Columbia University in 1913-14 and 1915-16, attending courses under Professors Giddings and Tenney in sociology, under Professors Seligman and Seager in Economics, under Professor Devine in Social Economy, and Professor Chaddock in Statistics. In 1916 he completed his Ph.D. at Columbia University. His dissertation was entitled \"Infant Mortality: Its Relations to Social and Industrial Conditions.\"","In 1917, a group of Richmond community leaders organized what became the Richmond School of Social Work and Public Health to address urban social and health concerns. It would train social workers and public health nurses, becoming the first school of its kind in the south. They hired Hibbs as the director. In 1925, the school began an affiliation with the College of William and Mary. In 1939 the school was renamed the Richmond Professional Institute (RPI) of the College of William and Mary. In 1968, The Richmond Professional Institute merged with the Medical College of Virginia to become Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).","Hibbs retired in 1959 after 42 years of heading the school, and by the early 1960s he and his wife, Jessie R. Persinger Hibbs, retired to Lexington, Virginia. After his retirement, Hibbs was paid a consultant fee to write the history of RPI. He intended for the school to solely profit from the book. Both the alumni group of VCU and the RPI Foundation were involved in the editing of the book before it was finally published in 1973. Hibbs died on April 4, 1977 at the age of 89.
