During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century. Shortly after McCormick’s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975. The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings. Still Image A static visual representation.

Sanitary Commission, Washington, D. C. Treasury Building, August 17th, 1861. To His Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois, The attention of your Excellency is most respectfully called to the importance of a thorough physical examination of men offering to volunteer. It is quite impossible for any but perfectly sound, tough, strong men to endure the privations, fatigue, and exposure, to which soldiers, under our present Army Regulations, must be subject, without great suffering to themselves, and loss to the Nation. It is not doubted, that if our army had been entirely composed of such men, the result of the late disastrous battle, at Bull's Run, would have been wholly different. That the inspection of recruits, has hitherto been very inadequate, there is, unfortunately, too much evidence. For instance, twenty-two men have been discharged since the battle, on account of Hernia, from a single regiment, and this, one which was far better officered, and therefore, better cared for, and less severely tried, than most others. Men who cannot lose a meal or two, without becoming ill <hr /> and disheartened; men, who when slightly indisposed, need domestic comforts, and tender care, not only are of no use, where soldiers are most needed; but do a great deal of harm, impeding and disconcerting arrangements, based on the supposition that soldiers are what the Army Regulations assume them to be. -- sound, tough, enduring, and long-suffering. It is well-known to be a general rule, in civilized warfare, that where one man is killed in battle, ten die from disease; but it is too little considered, that where one man dies from disease, many score must be, for a certain period, quite unfit for service, and a heavy burden and drawback, upon the movements, the general courage and efficiency of the strong and well. It is hoped that the suggestion will be pardoned, that orders should be given, with a view to put, if possible, beyond question, the perfect physical ability of the volunteers, hereafter to be accepted by your Excellency.

Stock Exchange Frederick H. Meserve Member N.Y. Stock Exchange New York, Dec. 26, 1910. Dear Mr. Lincoln, You will be glad to know that considerably more than half of the Book of the Photographs of Abraham Lincoln have already been taken. In connection with a page devoted to Mrs. Lincoln and the three sons I have thought to use the standing portrait of you which I enclose if you are willing to have me do so. Can you tell me in what year it was made? It appears to be a Brady photograph. The other portrait of yourself is from a group picture owned by Mr. McLellan made when you were in Harvard. I will greatly appreciate your kindness & trouble if you will sign these four mounted photographs for my autographed collection. I will be very glad to send copies to you if you desire them. The photograph of Thomas I believe was made in 1861 shortly before his death. Am I right? I dont know who made it. I dont know anything about that of Willie – perhaps you have an original which might help me to locate it. I will be grateful for your trouble & will send copies of these also if you want them.

(David Virgil), 1900-1984 Journalist Newspaper editors Newspapers Editorials--Authorship Editorials Illinois--Decatur Description An account of the resource David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.  The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.
