Archivists Catalog Willard D. Straight's Collection

Photographs and Drawings from His Years in China

Amateur photographers with overflowing cartons of snapshots, take heart: It is possible to bring some order to all those pictorial memories. All it takes is a year's work by several archivists, a computer program developed by the National Archives and a generous foundation with enough interest in what you photographed and why.
Thousands of photographs, negatives and drawings from Willard D. Straight's years in China — from 1901-1912 — have at last been catalogued and are now available to those with scholarly interests ranging from art and agriculture, warfare and railroad construction to the influence of West-

project. "Then we spent a few months listing the material item by item and trying to get background on the people and places. We learned to tell who made the annotations by the handwriting. Many of the people the Straights associated with were listed in "Who's Who," and we were able to date some of the photographs by the style of the women's dresses or the men's collars."
Using a computer program, SPINDEX, the archivists indexed the material by key words: "Agriculture, arches, architectural detail," for example, and continuing through "bamboo, boats, bridges, building construction and camel caravans." (An accomplished horseman, Straight seemed particularly fascinated with camels and there are numerous photographs of the beasts.) As a representative of American and European banking and railroading interests, Straight took a lot of pictures of locomotives and of civil engineering projects. Military uniforms are the subjects of many of his detailed drawings and his camera recorded the warships he saw. He used sketches and photographs as notes while serving as a news service correspondent in the Russo-Japanese War.
"It is unusual to have the opportunity to analyze a collection so extensively," says Engst, noting that the project was possible because of the generosity of the Whitney Foundation. "We are now trying to determine whether this system can be used with other types of photograph collections.''
The project was completed in July, 1981, and the photographs and artwork are now in the controlled temperature and humidity atmosphere of the archives beneath Olin Library. By age 30 Willard Straight was rumored to be earning as much as the President of the United States, and was considered to be one of the most powerful men in the Far East. The people and places that were subjects for the young American's cameras and sketch books during his brief career have achieved a permanence he probably could not have foreseen.

Willard Straight drew a priest at the Camel-back Bridge in Peking for the 1902 publication of "Verse and Worse" by John O.P. Bland.

David Miller, viola, and Fortunato Arico, cello, at 8.15 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, in Barnes Hall. This free public concert is one of a series made possible by a gift from Professor Emeritus and Mrs. Thomas A. Baird.
Haydn's patron, Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, was an enthusiastic player of the baryton, a string instrument which John Hsu describes as a viola da gamba fitted with a small harp behind its widened fingerboard. The harp strings, which also serve as sympathetic strings, are played by plucking with the thumb of the left hand.
From approximtely 1762 to 1775 Haydn composed over 120 baryton trios for the prince's enjoyment. The Barnes Hall audience will hear Numbers 113 in D Major, 71 in A Major, 59 in G Major, 96 in B minor and 126 in C Major.
Hsu's baryton, made for the university by George Cassis of Baltimore, Md., is modeled after the instrument which Prince Esterhazy used in playing Haydn's trios. It has six strings plus the nine harp strings which are tuned to the diatonic d-Major scale, with an additional "A" under the lower"D".
Miller's viola and Arico's cello have been restored to their 18th-century proportions. The resulting sound produced by the ensemble is much like that which Haydn must have heard.
Hsu, Miller and Arico are all artists of the Aston Magna Foundation for music and have collaborated in performances of the trios both in the Aston Magna Concerts at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and at their summer festivals in Great Barrington, Mass., and concert series elsewhere. Among their appearances this season will be a concert in March at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Haydn's birth. Their recording of four Haydn Baryton Trios released last April by the Musical Heritage Society is the first such recording made in this country.
Hsu, the Old Dominion Foundation Professor of Humanities and Music, has been a member of the Cornell faculty since 1955. He is one of the few viola da gamba virtuosos of today. In addition to Aston Magna, Miller is a founding member of the Concert Royal. He plays with other New York ensembles and with the Smithsonian Chamber Players. Arico is a member of the New York Chamber Soloists and the New Consort of Viols. He is on the faculty of The City College of New York.

Fun in the Sun Is Mostly Watery
When the annual Fun in the Sun day was held a week ago Sunday, many of the events had to do with water—watery slides and pillow jousts that ended in a dunking. While the sky was not all that sunny, at least it didn't add any water to the event as it has in the past.

Settlement Reached; Charge Is Withdrawn
A settlement agreement was reached last Thursday by the university and the United Auto Workers union on an unfair labor practice charge that had been brought a year ago by the union.
The UAW agreed to withdraw a charge that the university had acted unfairly when its officials would not permit distribution of union literature inside Barton Hall during Employee Day activities. The university and union agreed that union representatives would not be allowed inside Barton Hall to distribute their literature, but would be permitted to distribute it outside or at the entrance to Barton, as they were last year.
The agreement was reached during a per-trial discussion conducted by a National Labor Relations Board law judge.
Employee Day this year is on Saturday, Oct. 10, and employees will be receiving further information in the mail. In keeping with the spirit of Employee Day, distribution of literature of any kind will not be permitted inside Barton Hall during the event.
