Robert H. Webb papers about the University of Virginia [manuscript], 1895-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647972925

Additional papers of Robert H. Webb, chiefly re his tenure on the faculty at the University of Virginia and related events, including the dispute between Alfred Swan and Arthur Fickenscher re the former's employment at the University. Of interest are two letters to Alfred Swan from Sergei Rachmaninoff, 1922 April 5 and 17, enclosing the address of Nicholas Medtner, requesting food drafts be sent to professors at the Moscow or Petrograd conservatories, and thanking him "with all my heart" for doing so.
