Savage, Alexander Duncan, 1848-1935. Papers : of Alexander Duncan Savage, 1860-1974.

Title: Papers : of Alexander Duncan Savage, 1860-1974.

The collection consists almost entirely of Savage's correspondence with family and friends and ranges from his college days at the University of Virginia to his death in 1935. He describes the teaching methods of Maximilian Schele de Vere and Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, student life at the universities of Leipzig and Bonn, vacations on Staten Island and the Virginia beaches, and efforts to find suitable employment. Of greatest interest is correspondence detailing a scandal at the N.Y. Metropolitan Museum of Art in which the director Louis Palma di Cesnola supervised the reconstruction of antique statues. Letters from his parent Thomas Staughton Savage and Elizabeth Rutherford Savage describe activities of other family members and life in the towns of Pass Christian, Miss. and Rhinecliff, N.Y. where his father held Episcopalian pastorates. His brother Thomas Rutherford Savage describes his medical practice at the Michigan State Insane Asylum. Much of the later correspondence describes the family's financial difficulties. The collection also contain some of Savage's financial papers, translations and articles by him including "The stone in the road," a famous children's story, a catalog, 1890, from his N.Y. City girls' school, clippings, postcards, pencil sketches, biographical data, and photographs. Correspondents include Jessie Duncan Savage Cole, Sophie Cole, Thomas Casilear Cole, Thomas L. Cole, Louis Palma di Cesnola, Gaston Feuardent, Richard Watson Gilder, Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, James Albert Harrison, Dorothea Cole Macomber, and Susan C. Dabney Smedes.
