Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.

(Ephraim Samuel), 1824-1896 Description An account of the resource Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, a major American poet, was born in 1879 at 603 South Fifth Street in Springfield, Illinois to Dr. Vachel Thomas Lindsay and Catherine Frazee Lindsay. He graduated from Springfield High School and studied at Hiram College in Ohio, the Chicago Art Institute and the New York School of Art.  Lindsay made three famous walking tours of the United States in 1906, 1908 and 1912, covering more than 2,800 miles. On these treks, Lindsay traded poems for food and shelter, earning him the title “The Prairie Troubadour.”  Lindsay first earned fame with the publication of his poem “General William Booth Enters into Heaven” in 1913. Two years later his poem, “The Wedding of the Rose and the Lotus”, calling for tolerance between Eastern and Western cultures was printed by the United States Secretary of the Interior and sent to both houses of Congress in connection with the opening of the Panama Canal.  Much of Lindsay’s poetry was written to be read aloud, and he performed extensively across the country and in Europe. He often created drawings to go with his poems. He was a leading voice in the American “New Poetry” movement and published a total of 20 volumes of poetry and prose. He and other artists of his day championed a new language to express new subjects, such as civil liberties, civic excellence and humanitarian and aesthetic values. He also wrote poems of protest against spiritual and environmental blight. Lindsay’s Springfield home was his creative center, and he returned there many times during his career.  In 1925 he married Elizabeth Conner of Spokane, Washington. He returned to Springfield with his wife and two children in 1929, where he committed suicide on December 5, 1931. The Vachel Lindsay Association, a not-for-profit private corporation, was founded in 1946 in Springfield, Illinois “to perpetuate the spiritual and material estate of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, the Poet”. The organization proposed to finance the collection and publication of various Lindsayana and to maintain and preserve the Lindsay Home as a site for perpetuating interest in Lindsay and his poetry and ideals. In 1990 the Lindsay Home was transferred to the state of Illinois and became a historic site open to the public.

Title A name given to the resource Vachel Lindsay Collection Subject The topic of the resource Lindsay, Vachel, 1879-1931 Vachel Lindsay Association Lindsay, Elizabeth Conner, 1901-1954 Lindsay, Nick, 1922- Russell, Susan Doniphan Lindsay, 1926-1990 Graham, Elizabeth Lindsay, Vachel Thomas, 1843-1918 Lindsay, Esther Catharine Frazee, 1848-1922 Frazee, Ephraim S. (Ephraim Samuel), 1824-1896 Description An account of the resource Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, a major American poet, was born in 1879 at 603 South Fifth Street in Springfield, Illinois to Dr. Vachel Thomas Lindsay and Catherine Frazee Lindsay. He graduated from Springfield High School and studied at Hiram College in Ohio, the Chicago Art Institute and the New York School of Art.  Lindsay made three famous walking tours of the United States in 1906, 1908 and 1912, covering more than 2,800 miles. On these treks, Lindsay traded poems for food and shelter, earning him the title “The Prairie Troubadour.”  Lindsay first earned fame with the publication of his poem “General William Booth Enters into Heaven” in 1913. Two years later his poem, “The Wedding of the Rose and the Lotus”, calling for tolerance between Eastern and Western cultures was printed by the United States Secretary of the Interior and sent to both houses of Congress in connection with the opening of the Panama Canal.  Much of Lindsay’s poetry was written to be read aloud, and he performed extensively across the country and in Europe. He often created drawings to go with his poems. He was a leading voice in the American “New Poetry” movement and published a total of 20 volumes of poetry and prose. He and other artists of his day championed a new language to express new subjects, such as civil liberties, civic excellence and humanitarian and aesthetic values. He also wrote poems of protest against spiritual and environmental blight. Lindsay’s Springfield home was his creative center, and he returned there many times during his career.  In 1925 he married Elizabeth Conner of Spokane, Washington. He returned to Springfield with his wife and two children in 1929, where he committed suicide on December 5, 1931. The Vachel Lindsay Association, a not-for-profit private corporation, was founded in 1946 in Springfield, Illinois “to perpetuate the spiritual and material estate of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, the Poet”. The organization proposed to finance the collection and publication of various Lindsayana and to maintain and preserve the Lindsay Home as a site for perpetuating interest in Lindsay and his poetry and ideals. In 1990 the Lindsay Home was transferred to the state of Illinois and became a historic site open to the public. The Association continues to promote interest in Lindsay through various public programming and publishing endeavors. Elizabeth Graham, friend of Lindsay, was a founding member and curator of the Lindsay Home from 1958 to 1978.

Trivoli, Peoria County Illinois. August 12, 1864. To his Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois, Dear Sir, My husband, Charles B.

He was taken from the battle field and sent to the Hospital at Nashville Tennessee where he remained for a number of weeks. He has recently been transferred to Joe Holt Hospital, Jeffersonville Ind, where he now is. He has also been very sick, but is getting better so that he is able to get about. I would most respectfully ask your Honor, to grant permission, or if necessary, use your influence, to have <hr /> my husband, Charles B. Kempel, transferred to Camp Butler at Springfield Ills. Or else grant him a fourlough to come home untill he is able to go to the front. I would be very glad if you would secure for him a fourlough to come home for twenty or thirty days. I feel confident that he would get well much sooner, by being at home and having the care and attention of his wife and family, than he will at the Hospital. I will enclose you a Coppy of my husband's recommendation, give by Lieutenant William D. Faulkner, of Company D. 86th Regt. Ills. Vol. Infty. Commanding Company, of which my husband is a member.

Trivoli, Peoria County Illinois. August 12, 1864. To his Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois, Dear Sir, My husband, Charles B. Kempel, was severely wounded in the battle near Marietta Georgia, on the 27th day of June 1864. He has four holes in his right shoulder. He was taken from the battle field and sent to the Hospital at Nashville Tennessee where he remained for a number of weeks. He has recently been transferred to Joe Holt Hospital, Jeffersonville Ind, where he now is. He has also been very sick, but is getting better so that he is able to get about. I would most respectfully ask your Honor, to grant permission, or if necessary, use your influence, to have <hr /> my husband, Charles B. Kempel, transferred to Camp Butler at Springfield Ills. Or else grant him a fourlough to come home untill he is able to go to the front. I would be very glad if you would secure for him a fourlough to come home for twenty or thirty days. I feel confident that he would get well much sooner, by being at home and having the care and attention of his wife and family, than he will at the Hospital. I will enclose you a Coppy of my husband's recommendation, give by Lieutenant William D. Faulkner, of Company D. 86th Regt. Ills. Vol. Infty. Commanding Company, of which my husband is a member. Hoping Sir, that your Honor will be so kind as to grant my above request I subscribe myself yours most respectfully, Elizabeth Kempel. <hr /> Coppy of Recommendation. Private, Charles B.

Title A name given to the resource Vachel Lindsay Collection Subject The topic of the resource Lindsay, Vachel, 1879-1931 Vachel Lindsay Association Lindsay, Elizabeth Conner, 1901-1954 Lindsay, Nick, 1922- Russell, Susan Doniphan Lindsay, 1926-1990 Graham, Elizabeth Lindsay, Vachel Thomas, 1843-1918 Lindsay, Esther Catharine Frazee, 1848-1922 Frazee, Ephraim S. (Ephraim Samuel), 1824-1896 Description An account of the resource Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, a major American poet, was born in 1879 at 603 South Fifth Street in Springfield, Illinois to Dr. Vachel Thomas Lindsay and Catherine Frazee Lindsay. He graduated from Springfield High School and studied at Hiram College in Ohio, the Chicago Art Institute and the New York School of Art.  Lindsay made three famous walking tours of the United States in 1906, 1908 and 1912, covering more than 2,800 miles. On these treks, Lindsay traded poems for food and shelter, earning him the title “The Prairie Troubadour.”  Lindsay first earned fame with the publication of his poem “General William Booth Enters into Heaven” in 1913. Two years later his poem, “The Wedding of the Rose and the Lotus”, calling for tolerance between Eastern and Western cultures was printed by the United States Secretary of the Interior and sent to both houses of Congress in connection with the opening of the Panama Canal.  Much of Lindsay’s poetry was written to be read aloud, and he performed extensively across the country and in Europe. He often created drawings to go with his poems. He was a leading voice in the American “New Poetry” movement and published a total of 20 volumes of poetry and prose. He and other artists of his day championed a new language to express new subjects, such as civil liberties, civic excellence and humanitarian and aesthetic values. He also wrote poems of protest against spiritual and environmental blight. Lindsay’s Springfield home was his creative center, and he returned there many times during his career.  In 1925 he married Elizabeth Conner of Spokane, Washington. He returned to Springfield with his wife and two children in 1929, where he committed suicide on December 5, 1931. The Vachel Lindsay Association, a not-for-profit private corporation, was founded in 1946 in Springfield, Illinois “to perpetuate the spiritual and material estate of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, the Poet”. The organization proposed to finance the collection and publication of various Lindsayana and to maintain and preserve the Lindsay Home as a site for perpetuating interest in Lindsay and his poetry and ideals. In 1990 the Lindsay Home was transferred to the state of Illinois and became a historic site open to the public. The Association continues to promote interest in Lindsay through various public programming and publishing endeavors. Elizabeth Graham, friend of Lindsay, was a founding member and curator of the Lindsay Home from 1958 to 1978. The finding aid for the Vachel Lindsay Association Records, 1881-1994 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library may be found at http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/650.
