Morris was born in North Carolina in 1881, but grew up in Norfolk, Virginia.  His father, a strict Presbyterian, ran a general store for farmers.  At sixteen, Arthur suffered an Achilles tendon injury during football practice and spent the next 29 months in a wheelchair, despite numerous operations on his heel.  Through much trial and error, he invented a brace that enabled him to walk. In the fall of 1898 Morris entered the University of Virginia, where he studied English literature, moral philosophy, and economics.  Having done previous work at a preparatory school, he received his B.A. in June 1899.  That school year, he was awarded a handsome gold medal for his debating skills and the Phi Beta Kappa key for academic excellence.","For the next two years, he studied law.  In his final year at the University, his father paid an unannounced visit to Charlottesville and caught his son playing poker. His father withdrew further financial assistance for the young man's education.  Morris found odd jobs in order to stay in school, until his mother stepped in and agreed to support him through his law graduation in June 1901.  He returned to his hometown to begin practicing law.","Early in his career, Morris encountered a number of clients who lacked the collateral they needed to borrow money from banks. If these wage earners could not borrow from family members, they were at the mercy of pawnbrokers or loan sharks. Morris, a firm believer in the solid character and dignity of the working class, loaned his own money to these clients. The experience made him cognizant of the need for a lending institution for middle and lower income workers.  He applied to the Virginia Corporation Commission for a charter for such a bank, and received the following reply from its chairman, Judge Robert R. Prentiss:","Dear Arthur: I have carefully considered your application for a charter for your hybrid and mongrel institution.  Frankly, I don't know what it is.  It isn't a savings bank; it isn't a state or national bank; it isn't a charity. It isn't anything I ever heard of before.  Its principles seem sound, however, and its purpose admirable.  But the real reason that I am going to grant a charter is because I believe in you.","On April 1, 1910, with $20,000 of his own and a few associates' funds, Morris opened the Morris Plan Bank.  Soon there were eleven of these banks enabling the average American, with the \"collateral\" of earning power and good character, to borrow in order to buy a house, finance a car, or carry the family through a catastrophic illness.  Morris found that there were few defaults because most borrowers were thrifty and eager to be debt-free.","It took some effort to convince the big financiers in New York to allow the Morris Plan to go nationwide.  Morris later recalled the arguments he employed:","\"I told them simply that America's strength was in mass production and the only way to insure mass production was mass consumption.  And, like night follows day, we can't have mass consumption without mass credit.  And, what's more, mass credit guarantees mass employment.  That got them!  The only thing I left out, but since have learned, was that mass credit would create a standard of living among Americans unequaled anywhere in the world.\"","Soon the Morris Plan was adopted by countless other banks.   In 1917, he branched out and established credit life insurance.","In his later years, Morris was frequently honored for his enormous impact on life in twentieth‑century America. His simple idea of installment credit, coupled with his faith in the average citizen, helped to improve the standard of living for millions.  And from the time of his graduation, Morris maintained close ties with his alma mater from which he received many awards of recognition and appreciation. Near the end of his life he gave a generous donation toward the construction of the law library in the new building at North Grounds. The library, bearing his name, opened in 1974, the year after Morris's death.","This collection contains diplomas, certificates, photographs, newspaper clippings, a gold watch and a gold medal, a scrapbook, and many other pieces of memorabilia that belonged to Arthur J.

Morris was born in North Carolina in 1881, but grew up in Norfolk, Virginia.  His father, a strict Presbyterian, ran a general store for farmers.  At sixteen, Arthur suffered an Achilles tendon injury during football practice and spent the next 29 months in a wheelchair, despite numerous operations on his heel.  Through much trial and error, he invented a brace that enabled him to walk. In the fall of 1898 Morris entered the University of Virginia, where he studied English literature, moral philosophy, and economics.  Having done previous work at a preparatory school, he received his B.A. in June 1899.  That school year, he was awarded a handsome gold medal for his debating skills and the Phi Beta Kappa key for academic excellence.","For the next two years, he studied law.  In his final year at the University, his father paid an unannounced visit to Charlottesville and caught his son playing poker. His father withdrew further financial assistance for the young man's education.  Morris found odd jobs in order to stay in school, until his mother stepped in and agreed to support him through his law graduation in June 1901.  He returned to his hometown to begin practicing law.","Early in his career, Morris encountered a number of clients who lacked the collateral they needed to borrow money from banks.

Dayton (1887-1948) was a prominent Charleston, West Virginia, lawyer and an avid book collector.  He was born in Philippi, West Virginia, into a long line of lawyers.  He was the son of Judge Alston Gordon Dayton who became a lawyer through an apprenticeship with his father, Spencer Dayton.   Arthur's mother, Columbia May Sinsel, was also born into a family of lawyers including her father and brothers.  Arthur Dayton received an A.B. degree from West Virginia University in 1907 and a L.L.B. from West Virginia University's College of Law in 1908. After receiving a master's degree in English from Yale University in 1909, he returned to Philippi to practice law until 1923.

In November 1958 the APVA authorized the organization of the Montgomery County branch for the specific purpose of acquiring and restoring Smithfield Plantation, the historic home near Blacksburg in Montgomery County, Virginia, built by William Preston in 1773. In 1959 Mrs. Janie Preston Brockenbrough Lamb, a descendant of Preston, donated Smithfield and 4.5 acres of land to the APVA. Restoration of the building was begun in 1962 when the APVA's Montgomery County Branch raised the funds for renovation and contracted with architects and contractors. Since its foundation, and in more recent years, the organization has had some changes, including the dissolution of branches and the combination of the Montgomery County Branch with the Smithfield Preston Foundation. In 2009, the name was changed to Preservation Virgina.","Smithfield Plantation is the historic home of the Preston family, one of the founding families of Blacksburg and Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built by William Preston (1729-1783), who emigrated from northern Ireland with his family in 1737. He married Susanna Smith in 1761 and settled at Greenfield in Botetourt County in 1769. Preston established himself as a leader in the Virginia frontier by serving in the militia in the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars, in the House of Burgesses representing Augusta County from 1766 to 1768 and Botetourt County in 1769, and as County Lieutenant of Fincastle and Montgomery. He was appointed surveyor of Fincastle County in 1772 and moved his family to that area. He built Smithfield, named in honor of his wife, in 1773. Smithfield was the birthplace and home of three Virginia governors, including James Patton Preston (son of William), and John Buchanan Floyd and John Floyd, Jr. (grandsons of William).","George Green Shackelford, a professor of history from 1954 to 1986 (now Emeritus) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech, which is adjacent to the Smithfield property, spearheaded the restoration by forming the Montgomery County branch and adopting the project of preserving and restoring the Smithfield residence.","The APVA changed their name to Preservation Virginia in 2009. However, since the mateirals in this collection were created under the previous name, we have retained that for the collection title. Both names have been added to the corporate names associated with this collection.","The guide to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Montgomery County Branch Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","Processing was completed in September 1996, after initial processing in the 1980s.

It was built by William Preston (1729-1783), who emigrated from northern Ireland with his family in 1737. He married Susanna Smith in 1761 and settled at Greenfield in Botetourt County in 1769. Preston established himself as a leader in the Virginia frontier by serving in the militia in the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars, in the House of Burgesses representing Augusta County from 1766 to 1768 and Botetourt County in 1769, and as County Lieutenant of Fincastle and Montgomery. He was appointed surveyor of Fincastle County in 1772 and moved his family to that area. He built Smithfield, named in honor of his wife, in 1773. Smithfield was the birthplace and home of three Virginia governors, including James Patton Preston (son of William), and John Buchanan Floyd and John Floyd, Jr. (grandsons of William).","George Green Shackelford, a professor of history from 1954 to 1986 (now Emeritus) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech, which is adjacent to the Smithfield property, spearheaded the restoration by forming the Montgomery County branch and adopting the project of preserving and restoring the Smithfield residence.","The APVA changed their name to Preservation Virginia in 2009. However, since the mateirals in this collection were created under the previous name, we have retained that for the collection title. Both names have been added to the corporate names associated with this collection.","The guide to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Montgomery County Branch Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","Processing was completed in September 1996, after initial processing in the 1980s.
