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.

Spaulding Collection Subject The topic of the resource Spaulding, Willis James, 1870-1965 Illinois--Springfield Illinois--Lincoln Memorial Garden Springfield (Ill.). Water, Light, and Power Department Illinois--Lake Springfield Jensen, Jens, 1860-1951 Description An account of the resource Willis J. Spaulding was a native of Springfield, Illinois and largely responsible for the construction of Lake Springfield and the city-owned power plant from 1927-1935. He was the son of Herbert and Mary Johnson Spaulding, who owned the Spaulding farm and nursery. In 1909 he was appointed superintendent of the city water works and served through 1911 when he was appointed Commissioner of Public Property. He remained in that position for eight consecutive terms ending in 1944. He instigated the drive for the construction of the city’s lake and power plant and was known as the “Father of Lake Springfield.” The Lindsay Bridge and Lincoln Memorial Gardens were also built during Spaulding’s tenure. He served as a delegate to the 1932 Democratic National Convention and was president of the Public Ownership League of America. His brother, Charles H. Spaulding, was the general superintendent of the Springfield Water Department and invented the Spaulding precipitator. Photographs in this collection include images of the Spaulding family, public works construction, landscape architect Jens Jensen working on his designs for Lincoln Memorial Garden, and the dedication of Lake Springfield in July 1935.

With petition from Member of House and Members of Senate of State of Ohio in regard to Charles Anderson 2/21/65 I take the liberty of enclosing the within petition to you for delivery to the President. I dont wish to inveigle you into my cause so, if not according to [considerment?] or inclination or [ceremonial?], for you to proceed in behalf [illegible] so that his [illegible] certainly receive it. (Private) Dayton Ohio, Feb 27. 1865 Hon Richard Yates, USSenate My dear Sir, I congratulate you. I congratulate the Country. You are a Senator of -- the United States. Let us pause. To this, a subject of congratulations, to you? We shall soon However, -- perhaps. Sherman, (with the help of after-wise moderation from the Capitol,) will soon solve that riddle of the United States. If we fail; -- all National honors must vanish, with the Nation; into airy nothingness! But if, (aided, by Providence and not hindered by Father Abraham,) he succeed; then- is the Country to be congratulated at the advent of a new Creation, to the Supreme National Counsels? That in my opinion and according to my taste, will be clearly indicated, by his will and ability to pro= <hr /> cure a proper representation of that Country in some other Country; Say, Spain, Austria, Italy, Prussia. Russia, China, or some other elegant, civilized, polite, hospitable, healthy, cheap-happy land, that yearns as much for a new Envoy, as he for it! To drop all circumlocutionary and complimentary diction (for you are not green enough, not to see, what I am after,--) to leap over all equivocations and subterfuges-- I am through sundry friends, an applicant for a foreign Mission. Can you help me? Will You? I do not think, I am, or ever been a favorite with the Heavenly Father. Leastwise, He has never provided particularly well for me -- except in getting me out of Texas. Otherwise; (if He is on my side As the Rebels say of his fighting on theirs. "He fights with his vizor down." We cant see it! And, doubtless, as I dont deserve #(If that last leap be a possibility--a leap over subterfuges!) <hr /> his care, there may be the [illegible] reason, for his Keeping dark, as in the Rebel=Cause. He ought to be ashamed of himself, to fight for such set of damned rascals. They belong to the other side. (I hope you wont think this impious or perfane. Is there any use of a Devil, or Hell if those Rebel, don't belong to them? This is only theological and historical truth leastwise shows that God cant lie &c. &c.) But the cause for my case," in this shoal of Time ", is, that I dont believe, I am any better favorite with that other, present, National Official- (Officeseeker's) Providence-Father Abraham! Why this is, I am sure I dont know, nor can guess. Is it because I am a Native Kentuckian? He is no better. Is it because I emigrated to Ohio? Didnt he to Illinois? Is it, because, I ran away from Texas? Wouldn't he have done the same, under the same impulse? Perhaps,- <hr /> "ah! There's the rub--perhaps, it is because I went there! I say nothing. But, that I, report. Cannot the Prodigal son repent? Is going to Texas, the sin against the Holy Ghost of Patriotism? I fear and tremble. I used to surmise, that the apology offered by the Picayune (N.D.) for my imprisonment by the S.C.- viz: that I was "a brother of [Sheet?] Anderson and had made an apologetic speech for this tyrant Lincoln" ought not to set me back much with a Union President, or with that particular tyrant. Our friend, Schenck, flattered me greatly, by suggesting that the President didn't know either of the three facts--the flight, or its alledged causes! I think it very likely. But all joking apart I am in earnest about this matter. And I felt justified - obliged -by past memories, to let you know it in this quiet, confidential, way.
