G. \"Deane\" Ribble was born on 14 January 1898, in Culpeper, Virginia, to Carolina Stribling Marshall, granddaughter of John Marshall, and Frederick Goodwin Ribble, an Episcopal minister. The family later lived in Fredericksburg, where Rev. Ribble was head of the Bishop Payne Divinity School, a segregated seminary for African Americans. Deane had a brother, John, killed in World War II, and four sisters, Mildred, Elsie, Carolina, and Frances. In December of 1940 he married Mary Mason Anderson of Richmond, and they had one son, Frederick Goodwin, who lives in Charlottesville.","After receiving a BA from the College of William and Mary in 1916, he came to the University of Virginia where he earned an MA in 1917 and an LLB in 1921. Later in that year he became the youngest member of the law faculty at Virginia, and was promoted to full professor by 1927. After receiving an SJD from Columbia in 1937, he was asked to become dean of the Law School at the University of Missouri, but he decided to return to Charlottesville and continued teaching full-time at the Law School until 1937 when he became acting dean. He assumed the position of dean in 1939, and remained in that job until 1963. Although his wife died in 1964, he continued living in Pavilion X, their home of twenty-five years, and taught one or two law classes each year until he retired in 1966. Deane Ribble died December 3, 1970.","During the years that Ribble was dean, the Law School underwent tremendous change. In the thick of World War II, enrollment plummeted to forty students: \"...about one-fourth women, some few persons in the Navy...and a goodly collection of 4 F's,\" as he described it. Only a handful of faculty members remained in Charlottesville, since many of them, Ribble included, served either on active duty or in civilian war-time jobs. One of Ribble's primary endeavors after the war was to provide a transition program for veterans whose legal education had been interrupted. The Law School began offering courses year-round to accommodate them. At the same time, he worked to attract and retain outstanding scholars on the faculty by making salaries competitive. Soon thereafter, he began planning for the enlargement of Clark Hall and the expansion of the library holdings. In 1951-52 the Law School Foundation was established with Ribble's guidance, as well as that of alumni Walter Brown and Joseph Hartfield. By the time Ribble left the deanship, the Law School's enrollment had doubled.","A respected constitutional law scholar, Ribble taught that subject, as well as real property, and public utilities. In addition to numerous law review articles, his publications included State and National Power over Commerce in 1937, and the second edition of Minor on Real Property in 1946. In addition, Ribble was involved in a number of extracurricular professional activities. In 1924 he received a presidential appointment as alternate member to the Board of Appeals in Visa Cases. While serving as dean of the Law School part-time, he also worked in Washington helping the Board with its enormous backlog of cases from World War I. In 1944, he took leave of absence from the Law School and became a full member of the Board. From 1946 to 1951, he was on the US Commission for UNESCO and was a delegate to the UNESCO conferences in Beirut, 1948, and Paris, 1951. He also represented the United States at the 1950 Conference on Freedom of Information in Geneva.","Ribble was a strong advocate of civil rights and worked actively for the cause in the 1960s. He was especially disturbed by the closing of Prince Edward County's public schools and helped form the Free School Association, which provided catch-up education for Black children during the last school year (1963-1964) in which the public schools were closed. This successful program, for which Ribble was treasurer, was funded by donations from all over the country and supported by the office of the US attorney general, Robert F. Kennedy, a former student of Ribble.","He was secretary-treasurer of the Association of American Law Schools in 1948-1950 and president in 1951. During the 1950s and 1960s, he was a member of the American Bar Association's Section of Legal Education, serving as chair in 1961-1962. In 1955-1956 he served as president of the Virginia State Bar Association. He was awarded honorary degrees from Washington and Lee University in 1949, the College of William and Mary in 1952, and Northwestern University in 1960.\n \nRibble died in 1970 at the age of 72.","The Frederick D. G. Ribble papers document his years as professor and dean at the University of Virginia Law School, his service on professional boards and committees, the legal cases in which he was directly involved or interested, and, to a limited extent, his personal life before his marriage.","The first series (13 boxes) is comprised of files found in one cabinet and spans 1920 to 1947; the second series (17 boxes) from the other cabinet overlaps Series I chronologically, covering 1941 to 1965. Ribble did the filing for the first series, and his secretary for the second. Series III (1 box), material once interfiled in the Dean's Papers, contains primarily personal correspondence, 1923-1960.","Much of Series I concerns Ribble's teaching: notes and clippings regarding cases, students' papers that he saved, copies of exams, and some correspondence and documents relating to subjects he taught. The most substantive of these files are constitutional law, commerce, and real property, major areas of interest to Ribble in the 1920s and 1930s. There is a good deal of correspondence and other material on the post-war years of growth at the Law School, as well as on the educational problems of returning veterans. A transition program was a major concern to Ribble, and he communicated with many prominent people in legal education with regard to it. Near the end of Series I there is a substantial collection of material from Ribble's years on the Board of Appeals in Visa Cases. Finally, there are some personal letters from his family, as well as what appear to be most of his personal financial papers from the 1920s and 1930s.","Series II has very little Law School or personal material, but instead is made up of papers generated by Ribble's extracurricular interests and involvement. Civil rights and related subjects are predominant in this series, including notes and clippings on the Gray Commission's Report, files on the Prince Edward Free School Association, materials on literacy tests, law enforcement, the Fred Wallace case, the Gray Commission, freedom of speech and association, and civil unrest. There is a large body of correspondence and reports relating to Ribble's work on the American Bar Association's Section on Legal Education. In addition, there is evidence of his contributions to such efforts as the China Legal Education Committee, the Permanent Committee of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise, of which he was a member, the restoration of the East Lawn Gardens of the University, UNESCO, the United Negro College Fund, and the Virginia State Bar Association. Finally, there are extensive records from seminars on constitutional law and professional ethics that he taught just before retirement. As in earlier days, he saved notes, class papers, exams, etc., from the classes.","Series III, personal correspondence, has a few topical folders, but is otherwise arranged chronologically.","There are materials in this collection that may be protected by US copyright law, and their reproduction may be restricted.","Arthur J.

In 1964, Oliphant moved to the United States and became the cartoonist at the Denver Post, and by 1965 his work was syndicated internationally by the Los Angeles Times Syndicate. Oliphant was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1967. In 1975 he moved to the Washington Star and joined the Universal Press Syndicate. In 1979 Oliphant was naturalized as an American citizen. When the Star went out of business in 1981, Oliphant decided to remain independent, living off the earnings from his syndication. He was the first political cartoonist in the twentieth century to work independently from a home newspaper, a situation that provided him with significant independence from editorial control. By 1983 Oliphant was the most widely syndicated American political cartoonist, with his work appearing in more than 500 newspapers. His body of work focuses mostly on American and global politics and culture; he is particularly known for his caricatures of American presidents and other world leaders. While he is most well known as a political cartoonist, over the course of his career Oliphant also produced dozens of bronze sculptures, along with many other drawings and paintings.

Cummings; his\n four wives: Helen W. Smith Cummings, Marguerite T. Owings\n Cummings, May Cecilia Waterbury Cummings, Julia M. Alter\n Cummings; and his son Dickinson Schuyler Cummings. Much of the\n material is of a financial nature. Cummings' own papers are\n place first, followed by the other family members in\n alphabetical order by first name. The papers of each are\n arranged by topic, and chronologically therein. The items\n within each folder are in chronological order. \n 1. \n Homer S. Cummings Papers, ca.\n 1890-1956: This group includes correspondence re:\n personal affairs, business, investments, taxes, and the Homer\n S. Cummings Golf Tournament. There are also miscellaneous\n notebooks, travel diaries, and Christmas cards. The general\n correspondence is place first, followed by the Golf Tournament\n correspondence and miscellaneous items. \n 2. \n Audie S. Cummings, Papers,\n 1921-1925: This group of correspondence and papers of\n Cummings relates to Audie S. Cummings' (1846-1924) estate. \n 3. \n May Cecilia Waterbury Cummings (4\n November 1898-9 August 1939) Papers, 1909-1955: Letters\n of Cecilia Cummings, and correspondence and papers relating to\n her estate and other financial affairs, comprise this group. \n 4. \n Dickinson S. Cummings (17 June\n 1898-10 October 1953) Papers, 1905- 1953: This\n correspondence principally concerns the estate of Dickinson S.\n Cummings, but there is a little correspondence between father\n and son. \n 5. \n Helen W.

Cummings' service on the\n Democratic National Committee is amply documented by letters\n concerning strategy, finance, publicity, campaigns, the\n Speakers' Bureau, women's suffrage, and prohibition. He\n corresponded with many political leaders and government\n officials including Newton D. Baker, Josephus Daniels, Carter\n Glass, H.T. Gregory, Edwin M. House, Cordell Hull, W.D.\n Jamieson, William G. Madoo, Vance C. McCormick, J.C.\n McReynolds, and Henry Morgenthau. There is later\n correspondence, ca. 1931-1932, relating to the presidential\n campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt, with James A. Farley,\n George H. Combs, Louis Howe, Daniel C. Roper, and Frank C.\n Walker. \n This group includes one box of Woodrow Wilson material,\n including correspondence between Wilson and Cummings, and a\n series of telegrams exchanged by the two when Cummings was\n serving as chairman of the Democratic National Convention in\n 1920. The correspondence principally relates to Democratic\n party affairs and the work of the National Committee. There is\n also a draft of a speech by Wilson, and a number of\n interesting and detailed memoranda written by Cummings about\n Wilson. \n In addition to the political correspondence, there are\n papers relating to the Harold Israel case, and to the\n investigation of the Connecticut State Prison at Wethersfield\n in 1930. \n The papers are arranged by topic, and the subject\n groupings are placed in a chronological sequence. The material\n within each folder is arranged chronologically.","Series III: Correspondence of the Attorney\n General and from the Post-Attorney General Period,\n 1933-1956This series consists of two groups of papers: 1) a\n general correspondence file and 2) miscellaneous papers. \n 1. \n General Correspondence File:\n Cummings kept his general correspondence files, which was\n labeled \"A.G. Personal,\" when he left his post and continued\n to add to it until his death. It contained political,\n official, and personal correspondence and papers. The heading\n \"A.G. Personal\" has been retained. A number of folders with\n material that is similar in content, which may well have been\n part of the original file, have been labeled \"Correspondence\n of H.S.C.,\" and interfiled with the \"A.G. Personal\" folders.\n Some of the files relate to a specific individual, others to a\n topic. The folders have been placed in alphabetical order by\n subject, and the items within each folder in chronological\n order. For each letter of the alphabet, first there are\n several folders marked \"General,\" where correspondence was\n placed for individuals or topics that did not have a separate\n file of their own. \n This correspondence relates to Cummings' service as\n attorney general, his active involvement in Democratic party\n politics, and general interest in national and international\n affairs. Cummings correspondence with a wide range of\n government officials, members of Congress, judges, Democratic\n leaders, personal friends, and associates. The letters cover\n such areas as Justice Department policy and administration,\n crime, judicial reform, the national political climate, New\n Deal legislation, and foreign affairs, with a focus on Latin\n America. The many persons with whom Cummings correspond\n include Alben Barkley, Benjamin N. Cardozo, Tom C. Clark,\n James A. Farley, David Fitzgerald, Felix Frankfurter, J. Edgar\n Hoover, Robert H. Jackson, Jesse Jones, William A. Julian,\n Brien McMahon, Harlan F. Stone, and Harry L. Truman. Cummings\n maintained files on many organizations, including the American\n Bar Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the\n National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.\n There are some interesting files on the Dominican Republic,\n including correspondence between Cummings and Generalissimo\n Trujillo. In addition to the political and official material,\n there are letters of a purely personal nature, largely\n pertaining to Cummings' social life. \n The researcher is cautioned that the very rich\n correspondence in this group cuts across individual and\n topical areas. Material relating to J. Edgar Hoover, or\n judicial reform, for instance, is contained in many disparate\n folders. \n Of particular interest is correspondence between\n Cummings and Roosevelt, 1917-1945, which has been placed at\n the end of the first group in the series. The principal topic\n is Democratic party politics, with a focus on Roosevelt's\n political career. The letters also touch on Justice Department\n policy, pending legislation, legal cases, and appointments.\n There is some material here on the court-packing struggle, but\n the researcher is referred as well to the judicial\n reorganization papers in the miscellaneous section of this\n series. Some correspondence of a personal or social nature,\n including invitations and thank-you notes, is contained here,\n as are a few Roosevelt speeches. Finally there are several\n letters from Roosevelt to Cecilia Cummings and a few written\n by Eleanor Roosevelt to Cummings. \n The \"White House\" Folders under \"Correspondence with\n Government Agencies,\" in the Miscellaneous section of this\n series also contain correspondence between Cummings and\n Roosevelt. \n 2. \n Miscellaneous Papers. This is\n an additional group of correspondence, papers, and other items\n generated by Cummings' service as attorney general. The papers\n are arranged alphabetically by topic, and within each topic\n chronologically. The items in each folder are in chronological\n order: \n a) Cummings' calendar of daily appointments, 1933-1938 \n b) Correspondence of the attorney general with various\n government agencies, 1933-1938: In his official capacity as\n attorney general, Cummings corresponded with staff members of\n other government agencies about matters of mutual concern. Of\n chief interest here is the correspondence with the White\n House, primarily concerning Justice Department affairs.\n Cummings corresponded with Roosevelt, his assistants, and\n secretaries. \n c) Department of Justice Papers, 1933-1938: (1) Case\n Files: These legal case files are arranged by their designated\n number; (2) \"Unclassified\" Circulars: These departmental\n circulars were directed mainly to U.S. attorneys, clerks of\n U.S. district courts, and U.S. marshals. They are in\n chronological order; (3) Circulars, Press Releases, and\n Papers: The items have been grouped by topic, such as crime\n suppression, and war risk legislation, and arranged\n alphabetically; (4) Memoranda: Memoranda to and from Cummings\n with various divisions of the Justice Department, such as the\n FBI, the pardon attorney, and subordinates such as Ugo Carusi\n and Alexander Holtzoff, are found here. They are arranged\n alphabetically. Of special interest are the F.B.I. memoranda,\n between Cummings, J. Edgar Hoover, and their assistants. A\n number of Hoover speeches are located in this sections; (5)\n Miscellaneous Items, 1933-1939: A few lists, notes, and other\n papers have been placed at the end of this group. \n d) Supreme Court Papers: This important group covers the\n gold cases which Cummings argued before the Supreme Court, and\n the controversial Judicial Reorganization (court-packing)\n Plan. (1) Gold Cases, 1933-1938: Correspondence, papers, and\n printed material are included, and are chronologically; (2)\n Judicial Reorganization, ca. 1787- 1952: [a] rough drafts of\n the plan; [b] correspondence and memoranda are grouped by\n subject, and arranged in a chronological sequence; [c]\n hearings are arranged chronologically; [d] speeches are\n arranged chronologically; [e] research material, including\n lists, graphs, notes on historical precedents of the plan, and\n printed material, in that order, chronologically; [f]\n newspaper clippings are in chronological order.","Series IV: Speeches and Articles1. \n Speeches, 1886-1950: This\n series includes speeches by Cummings, speech research\n material, and related correspondence. They reflect his\n interest in law and politics and the progress of his career,\n and can be divided into four distinct periods. \n The speeches from 1886-1916, delivered at a variety of\n civic and fraternal politics, bimetallism, and Robert Burns,\n and evidence young Cummings' growing political maturity. \n Speeches for 1916- 1932 include politics, America's role\n in international affairs, and the World Court. \n A number of national campaign speeches, 1932-1938,\n including Cummings' address seconding the nomination of\n Roosevelt at the Democratic National convention in 1936, are\n contained here. Attorney General Cummings delivered many\n speeches about crime control and the administration of\n criminal justice, specifically on firearms control and police\n training procedures. There are a number of addresses on\n judicial reorganization. \n A few speeches, 1938-1948, regarding the war effort and\n public service, round out this group. The collection includes\n some speech research material, 1914-1953, such as newspaper\n and magazine clippings. Finally, there are a number of\n speeches by other individuals, and quite a few by members of\n the Justice Department on crime suppression, the New Deal, and\n the presidential campaign of 1936. \n Following Cummings' own arrangement, his speeches are\n divided into two groups which are in chronological order by\n date of delivery. The first group is a \"pure\" speech file, and\n contains all his speeches for the years 1886-1948, the second\n group has speeches for the years 1926, 1933-1938, 1950, paired\n with related correspondence, usually letters in praise of the\n topic and delivery requesting copies. The research should note\n that the second series is not complete even for its year\n range, but that it does contain many of the corrected drafts\n of the addresses. The material is arranged as follows: (a)\n \"Pure\" Speech File, arranged chronologically; (b) speech file\n with related correspondence, arranged chronologically; (c)\n speech research material, arranged chronologically; (d)\n speeches by other individuals, arranged alphabetically by last\n name; (e) speeches by members of the Justice Department,\n arranged chronologically; (f) speeches by members of the\n Justice Department re: crime suppression, arranged\n chronologically. \n 2. \n Articles, 1918-1945: Cummings'\n articles are largely about crime and the penal system, though\n there are a few about the world court and the mission of\n democracy. They are arranged chronologically. There are a\n number of articles about Cummings, 1934-1940, all of which are\n comments upon and evaluations of Cummings as attorney general.","Series V. Literary Papers1. \n Diaries, 1919-1956: Cummings\n kept a \"Personal and Political Diary\" from 1919-1946, in which\n he discussed his political and official activities including\n meetings and trips. These diaries offer an insider's view of\n Democratic politics and government, especially during the\n Roosevelt administration. Cummings also discusses personal and\n family matters, and social engagement. From 1947 to 1956,\n Cummings labeled his diaries \"personal\" only, but these\n contain many political references as well. There is also a\n travel diary and play about a trip to Hawaii, a housekeeping\n diary, and a medical diary. Appointment books for 1926\n (1931-1955) round out this group. The material is arranged in\n the following order: (a) Personal and political diaries,\n travel diary, and housekeeping diary, arranged\n chronologically; (b) appointment books, arranged\n chronologically; (c) medical diary. \n 2. \n Literary Papers, 1750-1953:\n This group of papers relating to the publication of Cummings'\n books in chronological order. There are book reviews of\n Liberty Under Law and Administration, 1934-1935. For Federal\n Justice, on which Cummings collaborated with Carl McFarland,\n there are many source files with abstracts of legal briefs and\n historical data, ca. 1750-1938, notes, memoranda, drafts,\n correspondence, and book reviews, 1936-1937. There are drafts\n of The Biography of a Department, 1938, and correspondence\n regarding The Selected Letters of Homer S. Cummings,\n 1938-1941, edited by Carl Brent Swisher. There is also\n research material for projected books on the Lands Division of\n the Justice Department, 1828-1953, and on military law,\n 1804-1839. Cummings may well have worked with McFarland again\n on these last two projects. \n Two card indexes, listed by subject, contain acts about\n the duties and powers of the attorney general. A card index to\n Cummings' own library completes the literary papers. \n The twenty-six diaries, 1919-1926, of Homer Stille\n Cummings document a long career of public service and offer an\n insider's perspective on politics and government during years\n of great change in American life. By virtue of his position on\n the Democratic National committee, and as attorney general in\n the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Cummings\n participated in historic events and associated with many other\n powerful people. As his role in the famous court-packing\n struggle indicated, his legal expertise made him a very\n important member of the Roosevelt cabinet. \n All but the first volume of the diaries pertain to the\n period 1932-1956, and the most substantive are those for the\n years 1932- 1939. Cummings labeled the diaries and \"Personal\n and Political,\" though there is very little personal material\n before 1939. He recorded his daily activities - meetings,\n conferences, official duties, speeches, telephone\n conversations, and social events - and occasionally wrote in a\n contemplative or analytical vein. The entries range from the\n schematic to the highly detailed. Extremely loyal to both\n Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt, he described meetings with them\n very thoroughly, sometimes quoting them verbatim. Reflecting\n Cummigns' unique personality and strong sense of public\n service, these diaries are a valuable source for the study of\n an important but neglected figure. Researchers interested in\n Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal, and the Democratic party\n would find them very useful. \n The earliest dated diary (1919 April-1928 November)\n principally describes Cummings' travels around the country on\n behalf of the Democratic National Committee prior to the\n election of 192. There are no entries for the period 1921\n April through 1923, very few for 1924 October-November, none\n for 1925-192, and a few for 1928 October- November. Some\n sections of the diary are written in the third person,\n probably by Cummings' secretary, Charles F. McGuire. The\n entries are, in the main, brief and factual in nature,\n recording Cummings' itinerary, speeches, meetings, and related\n organizational matters; there is very little analysis.\n Cummings did write at length about several interviews with\n Wilson, in which the two men discussed party politics, the\n Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, the campaign\n and the election of 1920. At two points in the diary, Cummings\n refers to other memoranda, which have been pulled from the\n body of his papers and inserted in the appropriate places. \n The diaries for the years 1932-1938 are much more\n substantial than the first volume. Except for the second\n volume (1932 January-1933 April 7) the volumes cover a\n calendar year, and include, at the end, the attorney general's\n calendar of daily appointments. The diaries document Cummings'\n active involvement in Roosevelt's campaign for the presidency\n in 1932; Cummings conferred extensively with Democratic\n leaders including David Fitzgerald, Edwin M. House, Louis\n Howe, and Roosevelt about the political situation in various\n states, strategy, and the Democratic National convention. He\n devoted many pages to the process of selecting Roosevelt's\n cabinet, and described the transition between administrations.\n From the time he became attorney general, Cummings wrote\n extensively about his duties at the Justice Department,\n conferences with colleagues and associates, legislation, legal\n cases, appointments, testimony before Congressional\n committees, speeches, and trips. Specific areas of emphasis in\n the diaries included the judicial reorganization, or\n court-packing, plan, the gold bills, crime bills, tax cases,\n the N.R.A., and other \"alphabet agencies.\" Cummings carefully\n recorded the business transacted at Cabinet, Executive\n Council, and National Emergency Council meetings, which rant\n he whole gamut of New Deal concerns: unemployment, relief\n efforts, labor and agricultural unrest, fiscal policy,\n business trends, visits of foreign leaders, and international\n affairs. Cummings described the views and behavior of\n individuals present, especially the present, and expressed his\n own opinions. Possessed of a ready wit, Cummings often wrote\n about the jokes and humorous incidents that lightened\n potentially grim Cabinet meetings. He devoted many pages of\n the diaries to Roosevelt, describing their meetings, telephone\n conversations, and social occasions in the White House. They\n discussed politics, Justice Department matters, appointments,\n domestic affairs, and especially the Supreme Court\n controversy. Except for Roosevelt, Cummings did not stress\n other individuals in the diary to any great extent, though\n there are references to other persons, including Harold Ickes,\n Cordell Hull, Henry Wallace, Raymond Moley, and Henry\n Morgenthau. \n Besides administrative matters, Cummings also discussed\n strictly political subjects such as patronage, the Democratic\n National Convention of 1936, and the campaign of that year.\n The diaries indicate that he continued to be involved in\n Connecticut politics. By nature a very sociable man, he wrote\n about the numerous dinners, receptions, and cocktail parties,\n that he attended in an official and personal capacity, trips\n at home and abroad, and his annual golf tournaments at\n Pinehurst, North Carolina. Cummings also wrote a little about\n his wife Cecilia and son Dickinson S. Cummings. \n Following his retirement the cabinet in January 1939,\n Cummings devoted himself to his law practice and personal\n affairs. But he remained an interested observer of politics\n and government, describing various Democratic National\n Conventions, candidates, and elections. He was still\n especially interested in Connecticut politics, and wrote at\n length about the career of his friend Senator Brien McMahon.\n Cummings met, advised, and socialized with many of his former\n colleagues. The diaries also document his association with\n diplomats from the Dominican Republic, and a memorandum\n describing Cummings' visit to that country in 1946 has been\n inserted in the appropriate place. In addition to recording\n his activities in a schematic fashion, Cummings occasionally\n reminisced about past experiences. The diary for 1944 in\n particular contains several references to events in the years\n 1832-1937.","VI. Law Firm Papers, 1909-1934, 1939-1953,\n and Legal Case Files, ca. 1915-1933 (1928-1956)This group consists of a few legal papers, mainly\n correspondence and documents, and many legal case files. They\n fall into two groups, the Cummings and Lockwood material,\n 1909-1934, and the Cummings and Stanley (later Cummings,\n Stanley, Truitt, and Cross) material, 1939-1953. Most of the\n correspondence is between the partners and relates to various\n cases and financial matters. The papers are grouped by subject\n and then arranged chronologically; the legal case files are\n arranged chronologically.","Series VII. Miscellaneous Papers,\n 1892-1953There are a few miscellaneous papers, arranged as\n follows: (1) List of autographs of Cummings given out\n 1933-1939; (2) correspondence and papers regarding\n biographical information about Cummings, 1933-1953, arranged\n chronologically; (3) certificates, 1911-1956, arranged\n chronologically; (4) U.S. dollar bills and German bank notes;\n (5) programs, 1892-1950, arranged chronologically with bound\n volumes placed behind the folders; (6) souvenirs and\n mementoes, ca. 1922-1949; (7) first issue stamps, with related\n correspondence, 1934-1938.","Series VIII. Photographs, 1870-1953,\n Daguerreotypes and Ambrotypes, ca. 1850-1870Many excellent photographs, of a personal and\n professional nature, are found in this collection. Of the\n approximately three thousand items, most date from the period\n of Cummings' active involvement in national political life,\n 1919-1939. The professional group of photographs contains\n portraits of Cummings himself, numerous autographed\n professional portraits of such persons as Edwin Alderman, Hugo\n Black, J. Edgar Hoover, Harry Hopkins, Charles Evan Hughes,\n Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin D.\n Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, Alfred Smith, Adlai Stevenson,\n Harry Truman, Gene Tunney, and Woodrow Wilson. There are many\n group pictures of Cummings at work with colleagues and with\n friends, 1919- 1953; and several formal portraits including\n the 1904 meeting of the Mayor's Association of Connecticut,\n and the 1912 Democratic National Executive Committee, and the\n U.S. Supreme Court in 1933. The group pictures of Cummings\n with his colleagues taken prior to 1933 consist largely of his\n activities at the Democratic National Conventions of 1920 and\n 1924. The 1933-1939 portion of the professional photographs\n show Cummings in a wide variety of activities in his capacity\n as attorney general, including: participation in national\n conferences and conventions, such as the 1936 Democratic\n National Convention; visits to prison facilities; and\n delivering speeches at occasions such as the 1936 Illinois\n State Fair and the graduation of the Ninth Session of the\n F.B.I. National Police Academy in 1938. There are several\n portraits of Roosevelt's cabinet. The 1940-1953 group of\n pictures includes shots from Pinehurst, North Carolina, golf\n tournaments, the 1944 and 1948 Democratic National Convention,\n and Cummings' visits with Dominican Republic President Raphael\n Trujillo and other Latin American diplomats in the late 1940s.\n The personal photographs in the collection relate to the\n following subjects: parents and ancestors, including Cummings'\n mother, father grandmother, cousins, aunt, and uncle; Cummings\n as a child, dating from the late 1870s; his early\n acquaintances, including persons of the Buffalo Unitarian\n Church and Sunday school; friends and professors at Yale\n University; interior and exterior views of buildings,\n including the Chicago house where Cummings was born in 1870,\n his parents' estates at Ruthven, Akron, New York, and\n Cummings' own home in Stamford, Connecticut. Following the\n early family photographs are portraits of Cummings' wives,\n Helen Smith Cummings, May Cecilia Waterbury Cummings, and\n Julia M. Alter Cummings, and then a large number of\n photographs and postcards from the vacations which Cummings\n took from 1926 to 1945. Among the places he visited were\n Hawaii, Europe, Latin America, and the Mideast. \n A final miscellaneous group of photographs includes\n undated photographs of architectural monuments, paintings, art\n work, scenes from South America, Great Britain, Pinehurst,\n North Carolina and elsewhere in the United States, and a large\n number of photographic negatives. Several photograph albums\n relate to Cummings' family, acquaintances, and buildings of\n his youth, his 1934 trip to Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains,\n his 1938 trip to Minoqua, Wisconsin, and drawings and\n photographs of prison facilities built in 1938 while Cummings\n was attorney general. \n The photographs are divided into three parts. The first\n portion of the collection, comprising photographs from\n Cummings' professional life, contains, first, autographed\n professional portraits of Cummings' acquaintances,\n alphabetically arranged, second, professional portraits of\n Cummings, followed, third, by group pictures of Cummings and\n his colleagues, arranged chronologically. \n The second portion of the collection, the personal\n photographs, is also chronologically arranged. These\n photographs are grouped in the following order: primarily late\n nineteenth century family photographs; photographs of family\n residences, 1870-1935; portraits of Cummings' wives; a\n chronologically arranged series of folders relating to\n Cummings' travels abroad and his leisure activities\n (especially from the period of his marriage to Julia\n Cummings); and miscellaneous undated photographs. \n The final portion of the collection contains\n photographic negatives, followed in turn by artistic\n reproductions, original drawings and poems, and photograph\n albums. \n A few ambrotypes and daguerreotypes round out the\n collections. The subjects include Cummings' parents Uriah and\n Audie Cummings, his maternal grandparents, great-uncle, and\n other relatives.","The only son of Uriah and Audie Schuyler (Stille) Cummings,\n Homer Stille Cummings was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 30\n April 1870. He received his early education at the Heathcote\n School in Buffalo, New York. In 1891, he graduated from Yale\n University with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, and two\n years later, he took an LL.B. degre from Yale Law School.\n Subsequently, he received several honorary degrees in law,\n from Rollins College, Lake Forest Univesity, and Oglethorpe\n University, in 1934, Lincoln Memorial University and John\n Marshall College of Law, in 1935, and Pennsylvania Military\n College in 1938. Admitted to the Connecticut STate Bar, he\n commenced in 1895 a long legal career by practicing law in\n Stamford where he became a member of the firm of Fessenden,\n Carter, and Cummings. He practiced alone from 1900 to 1909,\n then organizing the firm of Cummings and Lockwood with Charles\n D. Lockwood.","In 1900, Cummings was elected mayor of Stamford, and\n subsequently twice re-elected. For two years, he was president\n of the Mayor's Association of Connecticut, and from 1903 to\n 1909, president of the Stamford Board of Trade. Elected\n delegate to the Democratic National Convention and Democratic\n National Committeeman for Connecticut in 1900, he held the\n latter position of twenty-five years. He was nominated by his\n party for the position of representative-at-large in Congress,\n but the Republican majority in Connecticut was such that there\n was little chance of election. From 1913 to 1919, he was\n vice-chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Cummings\n was early on a strong supporter of Woodrow Wilson, and\n identified with the progressive wing of the Democratic\n party.","Cummings served as state's attorney for Fairfield County\n from 1914 to 1924. During this period, he was involved in the\n famous case of \n State V. Harold Israelin which\n he successfully cleared an innocent man of a murder charge.\n During World War I, Cummings was a member of the Connecticut\n State Council of Defense. In 1916, he was the Democratic\n candidate for the U.S. Senate, losing by a narrow margin. He\n was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee in\n 1919, and was chosen temporary chairman of the Democratic\n National Convention at San Francisco in 1920. His keynote\n speech at the convention staunchly defended the\n accomplishments of the Wilson administration. Again a delegate\n to the party convention in 1924 in New York, he was a leader\n of the McAdoo forces, and was chairman of the committee on\n resolutions.","In 1925, Cummings resigned from the Democratic National\n Committee to devote himself to the practice of law. He acted\n as special trial counsel in important cases in many\n jurisdictions, and gained further experience in the areas of\n monopoly, civil rights, and procedure. In 1930, Governor\n Trumbull appointed him head of an investigation of conditions\n at the Connecticut State Prison.","Cummings was a firm supporter of Franklin Delano Roosevelt\n in 1932 and assisted in the organization of his campaign. A\n delegate-at-large to the Chicago convention of the party, he\n acted as one of the floor leaders for Roosevelt and made a\n speech seconding his nomination. He campaigned actively for\n Roosevelt in the months that followed. After the election, it\n was announced that Cummings had been offered the position of\n governor-general of the Philippines. But on the sudden death\n of Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who had been selected for the post\n of attorney general, Roosevelt drafted Cummings for this post.\n It was at first assumed that Cummings would serve only\n temporarily and that he would eventually assume the\n Philippines post, but his work as attorney general was so\n valuable that the president asked him to remain.","Cummings played an influential role in the Roosevelt\n administration. In the early days of 1933, he assisted the\n president by drawing up emergency legislation such as the\n Emergency Banking Act, and several executive orders relating\n to gold. He reorganized the Department of Justice, and greatly\n strengthened the power of the Federal Bureau of Investigation\n by proposing comprehensive anti-crime legislation relating to\n kidnapping, national bank robbery, extortion, and\n racketeering. Personally interested in the prison division of\n the department, hew as responsible for substantial\n improvements in the federal penal system. Many new\n institutions, including Alcatraz Prison, were constructed\n under his administration. Cummings attempted to break up\n monopolies, and directed the Justice Department to start\n proceedings against some of the large oil companies. In his\n own opinion, his most important accomplishment was the reform\n of civil procedure in the federal courts. He persuaded\n Congress to pass a law giving the justices of the Supreme\n Court authority to prepare and promulgate, in September 1938,\n uniform rules of practice in the federal courts. The purpose\n of this measure was the elimination of as much legal\n technicality and red tape as possible from the federal\n judicial system.","In his first four years in the cabinet, Cummings was asked\n to defend the constitutionality of many New Deal enactments.\n He was successful in the case of dollar devaluation, the\n Tennessee Valley Authority, the Securities and Exchange\n Commission, and other measures, as they were upheld by the\n Supreme Court. But Roosevelt was frustrated by the fact that\n the court did declare unconstitutional some important New Deal\n enactments including the National Recovery Administration. The\n president's dismay set the stage for the most controversial\n episode in Cummings' career, the Supreme Court Reorganization\n Bill, better known as the court-packing bill. Cummings\n suggested a plan by which the president could appoint a new\n justice or federal judge to the bench for each judge who had\n served at least ten years, who waited more than six months\n after his seventieth birthday to resign or retire. The\n president would be allowed to appoint up to six new justices\n to the Supreme Court, and forty-five new judges to lower\n federal tribunals. The result , of this plan, Cummings and\n Roosevelt hoped, would be the appointment of men of a more\n liberal attitude, better disposed toward the New Deal\n philosophy than the sitting justices. The president attempted\n to present the bill as a proposal designed to maximize\n efficiency, but his true intentions were obvious. Spring on an\n unsuspecting Congress and nation in February 1937, the\n court-packing bill aroused widespread opposition; many people\n interpreted the plan as an attack on the Supreme Court and the\n Constitution. The bill was ultimately defeated by the senate,\n but it destroyed Democratic unity and strengthened the\n anti-New Deal coalition in the process. Cummings was\n subsequently involved in a primary \"purge\" campaign, in which\n the administration attempted to unseat some of the Democrats\n in Congress who had assisted in the defeat of the\n court-packing measure.","In 1938, Cummings was chosen by Argentina and Chile to\n arbitrate the Beagle Channel Islands controversy. Cummings\n resigned his post on January 2, 1939, and practiced law in\n Washington with the firm of Cummings and Stanley, subsequently\n Cummings, Stanley, Truitt, and Cross. He personally argued\n many cases in circuit courts and in the Supreme Court.","He was the author of four books: \n Liberty Under Law and\n Administration(1934); \n Federal Justice, with Carl\n McFarland (1937); \n We Can Prevent Crime(1937); and\n The Tired Sea(1939) as well as\n numerous articles and speeches.","Cummings was a member of the First Congregational Church,\n Stamford, and a trustee of George Washington University. He\n belonged to many organizations, including the American Society\n of International Law, the American Law Institute, the American\n Judicature Society, the Yale, Metropolitan, and Burning Tree\n Clubs, the Masons, Old Fellows, Elks, Eagles, Phi Alpha Delta,\n and Omicron Delta Kappa.","Cummings married Helen Woodruff Smith in June 1897. They\n had one son, Dickinson Schuyler Cummings, born in June 1898.\n They were divorced in October 1907. In December 1909, Cummings\n married Marguerite T. Owings, from whom he was divorced in\n 1928. He married May Cecilia Waterbury in August 1929. She\n died in 1939. In 1942, he married Julia Alter, who died in\n February 1955. Cummings died of heart failure at his home on\n September 11, 1956, at the age of eighty-six.","The papers of Homer Stille Cummings consist of 171.2 feet\n (ca. 124,000 items) of correspondence, memoranda, diaries,\n speeches, articles, legal case files, daily schedules,\n photographs, daguerreotypes, engravings, newspaper clippings,\n scrapbooks, films, phonograph records, memorabilia, and other\n items, for the years 1850 (1890-1956) relating to Cummings'\n long career as lawyer, Democratic Party leader, and attorney\n general in the administration of President Franklin D.\n Roosevelt. Family, legal, political, and official papers\n reflect Cummings' far-ranging activities and interests; the\n value of the papers lies in their unusual scope and breadth.\n The collection includes Cummings' correspondence, telegrams,\n and memoranda with Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt,\n and a group of papers that document his role in the historic\n court-packing struggle.","Cummings' political papers fall into two major categories,\n one group ranging from 1899 to 1933, and the second from the\n time he assumed a post in the Roosevelt cabinet until his\n death in 1956. There are few papers, unfortunately, relating\n to his tenure as mayor of Stamford, Connecticut. The bulk of\n the material in the first category was generated by his\n service with the Democratic National Committee; the\n corresponded between Cummings and Wilson, which resolves\n around party politics, national affairs, and various\n individuals, sheds light on Wilson and politician. In a number\n of interesting memoranda, Cummings discussed Wilson and\n described various meetings with him. In his capacities as\n vice-chairman and then chairman of the National Committee,\n Cummings corresponded extensively with Democratic party\n leaders and government officials, including Vance c.\n McCormick, William G. McAdoo, Cordell Hull, and Edwin M.\n House. His involvement in matters in his home state is\n documented by much material on Connecticut politics, the\n investigation of the Connecticut State prison at Wethersfield\n in 1930, and the Harold Israel case.","The second group of political papers primarily relate to\n Cummings' tenure as attorney general, and reveal his\n continuing interest in Democratic Party politics. He\n corresponded with many government officials, political\n leaders, members of Congress, and judges, such as Benjamin N.\n Cordozo, James A. Farley, David Fitzgerald, J. Edgar Hoover,\n Robert H. Jackson, and Harry S. Truman. The topics of the\n letters include national affairs, politics, Justice Department\n policy (FBI material has been reviewed and declassified by the\n FBI), judicial reform, and the international situation.\n Cummings' correspondence with Roosevelt reveals the close\n working relationship between the two men and highlights\n Roosevelt's political career. Their letters concern the\n administration of the Justice Department, the progress of New\n Deal legislation, and related juridical matters. Of particular\n interest are correspondence and papers concerning the\n reorganization, or court-packing, plan, and the gold cases.\n Memoranda, case files, circulars, press releases, and printed\n material supplement the correspondence of the attorney\n general.","The collection includes a number of family papers, ca.\n 1890-1956 of Cummings, his mother, wives, and son. Much of\n this material is of a financial and legal nature, relating to\n taxes, divorce proceedings, and estates. There is\n correspondence between Cummings and his wives Marguerite T.\n Owings Cummings, and Julia M. Alter Cummings, and his son\n Dickinson Schuyler Cummings. Letters about the annual Homer S.\n Cummings Golf Tournament, miscellaneous school notebooks and\n travel diaries, are also found here.","The many speeches and articles included in the collection\n reflect Cummings' own interests and official responsibilities,\n and cover such topics as national and Connecticut politics,\n criminal justice, judicial reorganization, and international\n affairs. There is also speech research material and related\n correspondence. A number of speeches by other individuals on a\n wide range of subjects, especially members of the Justice\n Department speaking on crime suppression, are in the\n collection.","In Cummings' personal and political diaries, 1919-1956, he\n recorded his daily activities and described meetings, trips,\n and his colleagues. These diaries are a very valuable source\n in themselves, because Cummings was a shrewd and seasoned\n commentator on political affairs. The drafts of his books \n Federal Justiceand \n The Biography of a Department,\n correspondence about these books and \n The Selected Letters of Homer S.\n Cummings, and research material for projected books on\n military law and the Lands Division, indicate Cummings'\n research-writing interests. There are many source files, with\n abstracts of legal and historical data, used for \n Federal Justice.","Cummings' flourishing law practice in Stamford,\n Connecticut, and Washington, D.C., is documented by\n correspondence, papers, and many legal case files.","The Cummings Papers contain a wealth of non-print material\n that is another valuable resource for students of\n twentieth-century America. There are many professional and\n personal photographs of Cummings, his colleagues and family,\n daguerreotypes, and ambrotypes, a series of engravings of the\n attorney generals, political cartoons, and miscellaneous\n certificates. Films, phonograph records, scrapbooks, and\n memorabilia round out the collection.

Cummings; his\n four wives: Helen W. Smith Cummings, Marguerite T. Owings\n Cummings, May Cecilia Waterbury Cummings, Julia M. Alter\n Cummings; and his son Dickinson Schuyler Cummings. Much of the\n material is of a financial nature. Cummings' own papers are\n place first, followed by the other family members in\n alphabetical order by first name. The papers of each are\n arranged by topic, and chronologically therein. The items\n within each folder are in chronological order. \n 1. \n Homer S. Cummings Papers, ca.\n 1890-1956: This group includes correspondence re:\n personal affairs, business, investments, taxes, and the Homer\n S. Cummings Golf Tournament. There are also miscellaneous\n notebooks, travel diaries, and Christmas cards. The general\n correspondence is place first, followed by the Golf Tournament\n correspondence and miscellaneous items. \n 2. \n Audie S. Cummings, Papers,\n 1921-1925: This group of correspondence and papers of\n Cummings relates to Audie S. Cummings' (1846-1924) estate. \n 3. \n May Cecilia Waterbury Cummings (4\n November 1898-9 August 1939) Papers, 1909-1955: Letters\n of Cecilia Cummings, and correspondence and papers relating to\n her estate and other financial affairs, comprise this group. \n 4. \n Dickinson S. Cummings (17 June\n 1898-10 October 1953) Papers, 1905- 1953: This\n correspondence principally concerns the estate of Dickinson S.\n Cummings, but there is a little correspondence between father\n and son. \n 5. \n Helen W.

Cummings' service on the\n Democratic National Committee is amply documented by letters\n concerning strategy, finance, publicity, campaigns, the\n Speakers' Bureau, women's suffrage, and prohibition. He\n corresponded with many political leaders and government\n officials including Newton D. Baker, Josephus Daniels, Carter\n Glass, H.T. Gregory, Edwin M. House, Cordell Hull, W.D.\n Jamieson, William G. Madoo, Vance C. McCormick, J.C.\n McReynolds, and Henry Morgenthau. There is later\n correspondence, ca. 1931-1932, relating to the presidential\n campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt, with James A. Farley,\n George H. Combs, Louis Howe, Daniel C. Roper, and Frank C.\n Walker. \n This group includes one box of Woodrow Wilson material,\n including correspondence between Wilson and Cummings, and a\n series of telegrams exchanged by the two when Cummings was\n serving as chairman of the Democratic National Convention in\n 1920. The correspondence principally relates to Democratic\n party affairs and the work of the National Committee. There is\n also a draft of a speech by Wilson, and a number of\n interesting and detailed memoranda written by Cummings about\n Wilson. \n In addition to the political correspondence, there are\n papers relating to the Harold Israel case, and to the\n investigation of the Connecticut State Prison at Wethersfield\n in 1930. \n The papers are arranged by topic, and the subject\n groupings are placed in a chronological sequence. The material\n within each folder is arranged chronologically.","Series III: Correspondence of the Attorney\n General and from the Post-Attorney General Period,\n 1933-1956This series consists of two groups of papers: 1) a\n general correspondence file and 2) miscellaneous papers. \n 1. \n General Correspondence File:\n Cummings kept his general correspondence files, which was\n labeled \"A.G. Personal,\" when he left his post and continued\n to add to it until his death. It contained political,\n official, and personal correspondence and papers. The heading\n \"A.G. Personal\" has been retained. A number of folders with\n material that is similar in content, which may well have been\n part of the original file, have been labeled \"Correspondence\n of H.S.C.,\" and interfiled with the \"A.G. Personal\" folders.\n Some of the files relate to a specific individual, others to a\n topic. The folders have been placed in alphabetical order by\n subject, and the items within each folder in chronological\n order. For each letter of the alphabet, first there are\n several folders marked \"General,\" where correspondence was\n placed for individuals or topics that did not have a separate\n file of their own. \n This correspondence relates to Cummings' service as\n attorney general, his active involvement in Democratic party\n politics, and general interest in national and international\n affairs. Cummings correspondence with a wide range of\n government officials, members of Congress, judges, Democratic\n leaders, personal friends, and associates. The letters cover\n such areas as Justice Department policy and administration,\n crime, judicial reform, the national political climate, New\n Deal legislation, and foreign affairs, with a focus on Latin\n America. The many persons with whom Cummings correspond\n include Alben Barkley, Benjamin N. Cardozo, Tom C. Clark,\n James A. Farley, David Fitzgerald, Felix Frankfurter, J. Edgar\n Hoover, Robert H. Jackson, Jesse Jones, William A. Julian,\n Brien McMahon, Harlan F. Stone, and Harry L. Truman. Cummings\n maintained files on many organizations, including the American\n Bar Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the\n National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.\n There are some interesting files on the Dominican Republic,\n including correspondence between Cummings and Generalissimo\n Trujillo. In addition to the political and official material,\n there are letters of a purely personal nature, largely\n pertaining to Cummings' social life. \n The researcher is cautioned that the very rich\n correspondence in this group cuts across individual and\n topical areas. Material relating to J. Edgar Hoover, or\n judicial reform, for instance, is contained in many disparate\n folders. \n Of particular interest is correspondence between\n Cummings and Roosevelt, 1917-1945, which has been placed at\n the end of the first group in the series. The principal topic\n is Democratic party politics, with a focus on Roosevelt's\n political career. The letters also touch on Justice Department\n policy, pending legislation, legal cases, and appointments.\n There is some material here on the court-packing struggle, but\n the researcher is referred as well to the judicial\n reorganization papers in the miscellaneous section of this\n series. Some correspondence of a personal or social nature,\n including invitations and thank-you notes, is contained here,\n as are a few Roosevelt speeches. Finally there are several\n letters from Roosevelt to Cecilia Cummings and a few written\n by Eleanor Roosevelt to Cummings. \n The \"White House\" Folders under \"Correspondence with\n Government Agencies,\" in the Miscellaneous section of this\n series also contain correspondence between Cummings and\n Roosevelt. \n 2. \n Miscellaneous Papers. This is\n an additional group of correspondence, papers, and other items\n generated by Cummings' service as attorney general. The papers\n are arranged alphabetically by topic, and within each topic\n chronologically. The items in each folder are in chronological\n order: \n a) Cummings' calendar of daily appointments, 1933-1938 \n b) Correspondence of the attorney general with various\n government agencies, 1933-1938: In his official capacity as\n attorney general, Cummings corresponded with staff members of\n other government agencies about matters of mutual concern. Of\n chief interest here is the correspondence with the White\n House, primarily concerning Justice Department affairs.\n Cummings corresponded with Roosevelt, his assistants, and\n secretaries. \n c) Department of Justice Papers, 1933-1938: (1) Case\n Files: These legal case files are arranged by their designated\n number; (2) \"Unclassified\" Circulars: These departmental\n circulars were directed mainly to U.S. attorneys, clerks of\n U.S. district courts, and U.S. marshals. They are in\n chronological order; (3) Circulars, Press Releases, and\n Papers: The items have been grouped by topic, such as crime\n suppression, and war risk legislation, and arranged\n alphabetically; (4) Memoranda: Memoranda to and from Cummings\n with various divisions of the Justice Department, such as the\n FBI, the pardon attorney, and subordinates such as Ugo Carusi\n and Alexander Holtzoff, are found here. They are arranged\n alphabetically. Of special interest are the F.B.I. memoranda,\n between Cummings, J. Edgar Hoover, and their assistants. A\n number of Hoover speeches are located in this sections; (5)\n Miscellaneous Items, 1933-1939: A few lists, notes, and other\n papers have been placed at the end of this group. \n d) Supreme Court Papers: This important group covers the\n gold cases which Cummings argued before the Supreme Court, and\n the controversial Judicial Reorganization (court-packing)\n Plan. (1) Gold Cases, 1933-1938: Correspondence, papers, and\n printed material are included, and are chronologically; (2)\n Judicial Reorganization, ca. 1787- 1952: [a] rough drafts of\n the plan; [b] correspondence and memoranda are grouped by\n subject, and arranged in a chronological sequence; [c]\n hearings are arranged chronologically; [d] speeches are\n arranged chronologically; [e] research material, including\n lists, graphs, notes on historical precedents of the plan, and\n printed material, in that order, chronologically; [f]\n newspaper clippings are in chronological order.","Series IV: Speeches and Articles1. \n Speeches, 1886-1950: This\n series includes speeches by Cummings, speech research\n material, and related correspondence. They reflect his\n interest in law and politics and the progress of his career,\n and can be divided into four distinct periods. \n The speeches from 1886-1916, delivered at a variety of\n civic and fraternal politics, bimetallism, and Robert Burns,\n and evidence young Cummings' growing political maturity. \n Speeches for 1916- 1932 include politics, America's role\n in international affairs, and the World Court. \n A number of national campaign speeches, 1932-1938,\n including Cummings' address seconding the nomination of\n Roosevelt at the Democratic National convention in 1936, are\n contained here. Attorney General Cummings delivered many\n speeches about crime control and the administration of\n criminal justice, specifically on firearms control and police\n training procedures. There are a number of addresses on\n judicial reorganization. \n A few speeches, 1938-1948, regarding the war effort and\n public service, round out this group. The collection includes\n some speech research material, 1914-1953, such as newspaper\n and magazine clippings. Finally, there are a number of\n speeches by other individuals, and quite a few by members of\n the Justice Department on crime suppression, the New Deal, and\n the presidential campaign of 1936. \n Following Cummings' own arrangement, his speeches are\n divided into two groups which are in chronological order by\n date of delivery. The first group is a \"pure\" speech file, and\n contains all his speeches for the years 1886-1948, the second\n group has speeches for the years 1926, 1933-1938, 1950, paired\n with related correspondence, usually letters in praise of the\n topic and delivery requesting copies. The research should note\n that the second series is not complete even for its year\n range, but that it does contain many of the corrected drafts\n of the addresses. The material is arranged as follows: (a)\n \"Pure\" Speech File, arranged chronologically; (b) speech file\n with related correspondence, arranged chronologically; (c)\n speech research material, arranged chronologically; (d)\n speeches by other individuals, arranged alphabetically by last\n name; (e) speeches by members of the Justice Department,\n arranged chronologically; (f) speeches by members of the\n Justice Department re: crime suppression, arranged\n chronologically. \n 2. \n Articles, 1918-1945: Cummings'\n articles are largely about crime and the penal system, though\n there are a few about the world court and the mission of\n democracy. They are arranged chronologically. There are a\n number of articles about Cummings, 1934-1940, all of which are\n comments upon and evaluations of Cummings as attorney general.","Series V. Literary Papers1. \n Diaries, 1919-1956: Cummings\n kept a \"Personal and Political Diary\" from 1919-1946, in which\n he discussed his political and official activities including\n meetings and trips. These diaries offer an insider's view of\n Democratic politics and government, especially during the\n Roosevelt administration. Cummings also discusses personal and\n family matters, and social engagement. From 1947 to 1956,\n Cummings labeled his diaries \"personal\" only, but these\n contain many political references as well. There is also a\n travel diary and play about a trip to Hawaii, a housekeeping\n diary, and a medical diary. Appointment books for 1926\n (1931-1955) round out this group. The material is arranged in\n the following order: (a) Personal and political diaries,\n travel diary, and housekeeping diary, arranged\n chronologically; (b) appointment books, arranged\n chronologically; (c) medical diary. \n 2. \n Literary Papers, 1750-1953:\n This group of papers relating to the publication of Cummings'\n books in chronological order. There are book reviews of\n Liberty Under Law and Administration, 1934-1935. For Federal\n Justice, on which Cummings collaborated with Carl McFarland,\n there are many source files with abstracts of legal briefs and\n historical data, ca. 1750-1938, notes, memoranda, drafts,\n correspondence, and book reviews, 1936-1937. There are drafts\n of The Biography of a Department, 1938, and correspondence\n regarding The Selected Letters of Homer S. Cummings,\n 1938-1941, edited by Carl Brent Swisher. There is also\n research material for projected books on the Lands Division of\n the Justice Department, 1828-1953, and on military law,\n 1804-1839. Cummings may well have worked with McFarland again\n on these last two projects. \n Two card indexes, listed by subject, contain acts about\n the duties and powers of the attorney general. A card index to\n Cummings' own library completes the literary papers. \n The twenty-six diaries, 1919-1926, of Homer Stille\n Cummings document a long career of public service and offer an\n insider's perspective on politics and government during years\n of great change in American life. By virtue of his position on\n the Democratic National committee, and as attorney general in\n the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Cummings\n participated in historic events and associated with many other\n powerful people. As his role in the famous court-packing\n struggle indicated, his legal expertise made him a very\n important member of the Roosevelt cabinet. \n All but the first volume of the diaries pertain to the\n period 1932-1956, and the most substantive are those for the\n years 1932- 1939. Cummings labeled the diaries and \"Personal\n and Political,\" though there is very little personal material\n before 1939. He recorded his daily activities - meetings,\n conferences, official duties, speeches, telephone\n conversations, and social events - and occasionally wrote in a\n contemplative or analytical vein. The entries range from the\n schematic to the highly detailed. Extremely loyal to both\n Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt, he described meetings with them\n very thoroughly, sometimes quoting them verbatim. Reflecting\n Cummigns' unique personality and strong sense of public\n service, these diaries are a valuable source for the study of\n an important but neglected figure. Researchers interested in\n Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal, and the Democratic party\n would find them very useful. \n The earliest dated diary (1919 April-1928 November)\n principally describes Cummings' travels around the country on\n behalf of the Democratic National Committee prior to the\n election of 192. There are no entries for the period 1921\n April through 1923, very few for 1924 October-November, none\n for 1925-192, and a few for 1928 October- November. Some\n sections of the diary are written in the third person,\n probably by Cummings' secretary, Charles F. McGuire. The\n entries are, in the main, brief and factual in nature,\n recording Cummings' itinerary, speeches, meetings, and related\n organizational matters; there is very little analysis.\n Cummings did write at length about several interviews with\n Wilson, in which the two men discussed party politics, the\n Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, the campaign\n and the election of 1920. At two points in the diary, Cummings\n refers to other memoranda, which have been pulled from the\n body of his papers and inserted in the appropriate places. \n The diaries for the years 1932-1938 are much more\n substantial than the first volume. Except for the second\n volume (1932 January-1933 April 7) the volumes cover a\n calendar year, and include, at the end, the attorney general's\n calendar of daily appointments. The diaries document Cummings'\n active involvement in Roosevelt's campaign for the presidency\n in 1932; Cummings conferred extensively with Democratic\n leaders including David Fitzgerald, Edwin M. House, Louis\n Howe, and Roosevelt about the political situation in various\n states, strategy, and the Democratic National convention. He\n devoted many pages to the process of selecting Roosevelt's\n cabinet, and described the transition between administrations.\n From the time he became attorney general, Cummings wrote\n extensively about his duties at the Justice Department,\n conferences with colleagues and associates, legislation, legal\n cases, appointments, testimony before Congressional\n committees, speeches, and trips. Specific areas of emphasis in\n the diaries included the judicial reorganization, or\n court-packing, plan, the gold bills, crime bills, tax cases,\n the N.R.A., and other \"alphabet agencies.\" Cummings carefully\n recorded the business transacted at Cabinet, Executive\n Council, and National Emergency Council meetings, which rant\n he whole gamut of New Deal concerns: unemployment, relief\n efforts, labor and agricultural unrest, fiscal policy,\n business trends, visits of foreign leaders, and international\n affairs. Cummings described the views and behavior of\n individuals present, especially the present, and expressed his\n own opinions. Possessed of a ready wit, Cummings often wrote\n about the jokes and humorous incidents that lightened\n potentially grim Cabinet meetings. He devoted many pages of\n the diaries to Roosevelt, describing their meetings, telephone\n conversations, and social occasions in the White House. They\n discussed politics, Justice Department matters, appointments,\n domestic affairs, and especially the Supreme Court\n controversy. Except for Roosevelt, Cummings did not stress\n other individuals in the diary to any great extent, though\n there are references to other persons, including Harold Ickes,\n Cordell Hull, Henry Wallace, Raymond Moley, and Henry\n Morgenthau. \n Besides administrative matters, Cummings also discussed\n strictly political subjects such as patronage, the Democratic\n National Convention of 1936, and the campaign of that year.\n The diaries indicate that he continued to be involved in\n Connecticut politics. By nature a very sociable man, he wrote\n about the numerous dinners, receptions, and cocktail parties,\n that he attended in an official and personal capacity, trips\n at home and abroad, and his annual golf tournaments at\n Pinehurst, North Carolina. Cummings also wrote a little about\n his wife Cecilia and son Dickinson S. Cummings. \n Following his retirement the cabinet in January 1939,\n Cummings devoted himself to his law practice and personal\n affairs. But he remained an interested observer of politics\n and government, describing various Democratic National\n Conventions, candidates, and elections. He was still\n especially interested in Connecticut politics, and wrote at\n length about the career of his friend Senator Brien McMahon.\n Cummings met, advised, and socialized with many of his former\n colleagues. The diaries also document his association with\n diplomats from the Dominican Republic, and a memorandum\n describing Cummings' visit to that country in 1946 has been\n inserted in the appropriate place. In addition to recording\n his activities in a schematic fashion, Cummings occasionally\n reminisced about past experiences. The diary for 1944 in\n particular contains several references to events in the years\n 1832-1937.","VI. Law Firm Papers, 1909-1934, 1939-1953,\n and Legal Case Files, ca. 1915-1933 (1928-1956)This group consists of a few legal papers, mainly\n correspondence and documents, and many legal case files. They\n fall into two groups, the Cummings and Lockwood material,\n 1909-1934, and the Cummings and Stanley (later Cummings,\n Stanley, Truitt, and Cross) material, 1939-1953. Most of the\n correspondence is between the partners and relates to various\n cases and financial matters. The papers are grouped by subject\n and then arranged chronologically; the legal case files are\n arranged chronologically.","Series VII. Miscellaneous Papers,\n 1892-1953There are a few miscellaneous papers, arranged as\n follows: (1) List of autographs of Cummings given out\n 1933-1939; (2) correspondence and papers regarding\n biographical information about Cummings, 1933-1953, arranged\n chronologically; (3) certificates, 1911-1956, arranged\n chronologically; (4) U.S. dollar bills and German bank notes;\n (5) programs, 1892-1950, arranged chronologically with bound\n volumes placed behind the folders; (6) souvenirs and\n mementoes, ca. 1922-1949; (7) first issue stamps, with related\n correspondence, 1934-1938.","Series VIII. Photographs, 1870-1953,\n Daguerreotypes and Ambrotypes, ca. 1850-1870Many excellent photographs, of a personal and\n professional nature, are found in this collection. Of the\n approximately three thousand items, most date from the period\n of Cummings' active involvement in national political life,\n 1919-1939. The professional group of photographs contains\n portraits of Cummings himself, numerous autographed\n professional portraits of such persons as Edwin Alderman, Hugo\n Black, J. Edgar Hoover, Harry Hopkins, Charles Evan Hughes,\n Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin D.\n Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, Alfred Smith, Adlai Stevenson,\n Harry Truman, Gene Tunney, and Woodrow Wilson. There are many\n group pictures of Cummings at work with colleagues and with\n friends, 1919- 1953; and several formal portraits including\n the 1904 meeting of the Mayor's Association of Connecticut,\n and the 1912 Democratic National Executive Committee, and the\n U.S. Supreme Court in 1933. The group pictures of Cummings\n with his colleagues taken prior to 1933 consist largely of his\n activities at the Democratic National Conventions of 1920 and\n 1924. The 1933-1939 portion of the professional photographs\n show Cummings in a wide variety of activities in his capacity\n as attorney general, including: participation in national\n conferences and conventions, such as the 1936 Democratic\n National Convention; visits to prison facilities; and\n delivering speeches at occasions such as the 1936 Illinois\n State Fair and the graduation of the Ninth Session of the\n F.B.I. National Police Academy in 1938. There are several\n portraits of Roosevelt's cabinet. The 1940-1953 group of\n pictures includes shots from Pinehurst, North Carolina, golf\n tournaments, the 1944 and 1948 Democratic National Convention,\n and Cummings' visits with Dominican Republic President Raphael\n Trujillo and other Latin American diplomats in the late 1940s.\n The personal photographs in the collection relate to the\n following subjects: parents and ancestors, including Cummings'\n mother, father grandmother, cousins, aunt, and uncle; Cummings\n as a child, dating from the late 1870s; his early\n acquaintances, including persons of the Buffalo Unitarian\n Church and Sunday school; friends and professors at Yale\n University; interior and exterior views of buildings,\n including the Chicago house where Cummings was born in 1870,\n his parents' estates at Ruthven, Akron, New York, and\n Cummings' own home in Stamford, Connecticut. Following the\n early family photographs are portraits of Cummings' wives,\n Helen Smith Cummings, May Cecilia Waterbury Cummings, and\n Julia M. Alter Cummings, and then a large number of\n photographs and postcards from the vacations which Cummings\n took from 1926 to 1945. Among the places he visited were\n Hawaii, Europe, Latin America, and the Mideast. \n A final miscellaneous group of photographs includes\n undated photographs of architectural monuments, paintings, art\n work, scenes from South America, Great Britain, Pinehurst,\n North Carolina and elsewhere in the United States, and a large\n number of photographic negatives. Several photograph albums\n relate to Cummings' family, acquaintances, and buildings of\n his youth, his 1934 trip to Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains,\n his 1938 trip to Minoqua, Wisconsin, and drawings and\n photographs of prison facilities built in 1938 while Cummings\n was attorney general. \n The photographs are divided into three parts. The first\n portion of the collection, comprising photographs from\n Cummings' professional life, contains, first, autographed\n professional portraits of Cummings' acquaintances,\n alphabetically arranged, second, professional portraits of\n Cummings, followed, third, by group pictures of Cummings and\n his colleagues, arranged chronologically. \n The second portion of the collection, the personal\n photographs, is also chronologically arranged. These\n photographs are grouped in the following order: primarily late\n nineteenth century family photographs; photographs of family\n residences, 1870-1935; portraits of Cummings' wives; a\n chronologically arranged series of folders relating to\n Cummings' travels abroad and his leisure activities\n (especially from the period of his marriage to Julia\n Cummings); and miscellaneous undated photographs. \n The final portion of the collection contains\n photographic negatives, followed in turn by artistic\n reproductions, original drawings and poems, and photograph\n albums. \n A few ambrotypes and daguerreotypes round out the\n collections. The subjects include Cummings' parents Uriah and\n Audie Cummings, his maternal grandparents, great-uncle, and\n other relatives."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe only son of Uriah and Audie Schuyler (Stille) Cummings,\n Homer Stille Cummings was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 30\n April 1870.

Elected\n delegate to the Democratic National Convention and Democratic\n National Committeeman for Connecticut in 1900, he held the\n latter position of twenty-five years. He was nominated by his\n party for the position of representative-at-large in Congress,\n but the Republican majority in Connecticut was such that there\n was little chance of election.

Family, legal, political, and official papers\n reflect Cummings' far-ranging activities and interests; the\n value of the papers lies in their unusual scope and breadth.\n The collection includes Cummings' correspondence, telegrams,\n and memoranda with Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D.

There are few papers, unfortunately, relating\n to his tenure as mayor of Stamford, Connecticut. The bulk of\n the material in the first category was generated by his\n service with the Democratic National Committee; the\n corresponded between Cummings and Wilson, which resolves\n around party politics, national affairs, and various\n individuals, sheds light on Wilson and politician. In a number\n of interesting memoranda, Cummings discussed Wilson and\n described various meetings with him. In his capacities as\n vice-chairman and then chairman of the National Committee,\n Cummings corresponded extensively with Democratic party\n leaders and government officials, including Vance c.\n McCormick, William G. McAdoo, Cordell Hull, and Edwin M.\n House. His involvement in matters in his home state is\n documented by much material on Connecticut politics, the\n investigation of the Connecticut State prison at Wethersfield\n in 1930, and the Harold Israel case.","The second group of political papers primarily relate to\n Cummings' tenure as attorney general, and reveal his\n continuing interest in Democratic Party politics. He\n corresponded with many government officials, political\n leaders, members of Congress, and judges, such as Benjamin N.\n Cordozo, James A. Farley, David Fitzgerald, J. Edgar Hoover,\n Robert H. Jackson, and Harry S. Truman.

These diaries offer an insider's view of\n Democratic politics and government, especially during the\n Roosevelt administration. Cummings also discusses personal and\n family matters, and social engagement. From 1947 to 1956,\n Cummings labeled his diaries \"personal\" only, but these\n contain many political references as well. There is also a\n travel diary and play about a trip to Hawaii, a housekeeping\n diary, and a medical diary. Appointment books for 1926\n (1931-1955) round out this group.

There are book reviews of\n Liberty Under Law and Administration, 1934-1935. For Federal\n Justice, on which Cummings collaborated with Carl McFarland,\n there are many source files with abstracts of legal briefs and\n historical data, ca. 1750-1938, notes, memoranda, drafts,\n correspondence, and book reviews, 1936-1937. There are drafts\n of The Biography of a Department, 1938, and correspondence\n regarding The Selected Letters of Homer S. Cummings,\n 1938-1941, edited by Carl Brent Swisher. There is also\n research material for projected books on the Lands Division of\n the Justice Department, 1828-1953, and on military law,\n 1804-1839. Cummings may well have worked with McFarland again\n on these last two projects. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eTwo card indexes, listed by subject, contain acts about\n the duties and powers of the attorney general.

By virtue of his position on\n the Democratic National committee, and as attorney general in\n the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Cummings\n participated in historic events and associated with many other\n powerful people. As his role in the famous court-packing\n struggle indicated, his legal expertise made him a very\n important member of the Roosevelt cabinet. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eAll but the first volume of the diaries pertain to the\n period 1932-1956, and the most substantive are those for the\n years 1932- 1939. Cummings labeled the diaries and \"Personal\n and Political,\" though there is very little personal material\n before 1939. He recorded his daily activities - meetings,\n conferences, official duties, speeches, telephone\n conversations, and social events - and occasionally wrote in a\n contemplative or analytical vein. The entries range from the\n schematic to the highly detailed. Extremely loyal to both\n Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt, he described meetings with them\n very thoroughly, sometimes quoting them verbatim. Reflecting\n Cummigns' unique personality and strong sense of public\n service, these diaries are a valuable source for the study of\n an important but neglected figure. Researchers interested in\n Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal, and the Democratic party\n would find them very useful. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eThe earliest dated diary (1919 April-1928 November)\n principally describes Cummings' travels around the country on\n behalf of the Democratic National Committee prior to the\n election of 192. There are no entries for the period 1921\n April through 1923, very few for 1924 October-November, none\n for 1925-192, and a few for 1928 October- November. Some\n sections of the diary are written in the third person,\n probably by Cummings' secretary, Charles F. McGuire. The\n entries are, in the main, brief and factual in nature,\n recording Cummings' itinerary, speeches, meetings, and related\n organizational matters; there is very little analysis.\n Cummings did write at length about several interviews with\n Wilson, in which the two men discussed party politics, the\n Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, the campaign\n and the election of 1920. At two points in the diary, Cummings\n refers to other memoranda, which have been pulled from the\n body of his papers and inserted in the appropriate places. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eThe diaries for the years 1932-1938 are much more\n substantial than the first volume. Except for the second\n volume (1932 January-1933 April 7) the volumes cover a\n calendar year, and include, at the end, the attorney general's\n calendar of daily appointments. The diaries document Cummings'\n active involvement in Roosevelt's campaign for the presidency\n in 1932; Cummings conferred extensively with Democratic\n leaders including David Fitzgerald, Edwin M. House, Louis\n Howe, and Roosevelt about the political situation in various\n states, strategy, and the Democratic National convention. He\n devoted many pages to the process of selecting Roosevelt's\n cabinet, and described the transition between administrations.\n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eFrom the time he became attorney general, Cummings wrote\n extensively about his duties at the Justice Department,\n conferences with colleagues and associates, legislation, legal\n cases, appointments, testimony before Congressional\n committees, speeches, and trips. Specific areas of emphasis in\n the diaries included the judicial reorganization, or\n court-packing, plan, the gold bills, crime bills, tax cases,\n the N.R.A., and other \"alphabet agencies.\" Cummings carefully\n recorded the business transacted at Cabinet, Executive\n Council, and National Emergency Council meetings, which rant\n he whole gamut of New Deal concerns: unemployment, relief\n efforts, labor and agricultural unrest, fiscal policy,\n business trends, visits of foreign leaders, and international\n affairs. Cummings described the views and behavior of\n individuals present, especially the present, and expressed his\n own opinions. Possessed of a ready wit, Cummings often wrote\n about the jokes and humorous incidents that lightened\n potentially grim Cabinet meetings. He devoted many pages of\n the diaries to Roosevelt, describing their meetings, telephone\n conversations, and social occasions in the White House. They\n discussed politics, Justice Department matters, appointments,\n domestic affairs, and especially the Supreme Court\n controversy. Except for Roosevelt, Cummings did not stress\n other individuals in the diary to any great extent, though\n there are references to other persons, including Harold Ickes,\n Cordell Hull, Henry Wallace, Raymond Moley, and Henry\n Morgenthau. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eBesides administrative matters, Cummings also discussed\n strictly political subjects such as patronage, the Democratic\n National Convention of 1936, and the campaign of that year.\n The diaries indicate that he continued to be involved in\n Connecticut politics. By nature a very sociable man, he wrote\n about the numerous dinners, receptions, and cocktail parties,\n that he attended in an official and personal capacity, trips\n at home and abroad, and his annual golf tournaments at\n Pinehurst, North Carolina. Cummings also wrote a little about\n his wife Cecilia and son Dickinson S. Cummings. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eFollowing his retirement the cabinet in January 1939,\n Cummings devoted himself to his law practice and personal\n affairs. But he remained an interested observer of politics\n and government, describing various Democratic National\n Conventions, candidates, and elections. He was still\n especially interested in Connecticut politics, and wrote at\n length about the career of his friend Senator Brien McMahon.\n Cummings met, advised, and socialized with many of his former\n colleagues. The diaries also document his association with\n diplomats from the Dominican Republic, and a memorandum\n describing Cummings' visit to that country in 1946 has been\n inserted in the appropriate place. In addition to recording\n his activities in a schematic fashion, Cummings occasionally\n reminisced about past experiences. The diary for 1944 in\n particular contains several references to events in the years\n 1832-1937. \n \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eVI.
