Letter written on June 11th, 1865, from Brevet Brigadier General of the 6th Connecticut Volunteers Alfred P. Rockwell to Kate, in which Rockwell describes a beautiful day after a storm has broken and visiting the Academy Chapel. He mentions another member of the board, Bishop Lee, and not wanting to nod off under the eyes of General Thomas. Later he describes being dragged out to attend a dance. This was written during the time that he was apppointed to the Board of Visitors in 1865 by the President, the goal of which was to examine the cadet classes and rank them.
One of the most influential philanthropists of the early 20th century, Edwin Rogers Embree was the scion of generations of abolitionists and integrationists. He ably served the Rockefeller Foundation and when Julius Rosenwald created a foundation for his philanthropic activity, he called on Embree to be its head. The Rosenwald Fund is best known for constructing more than 5,300 schools for rural black communities in the South. In the 1940s, Embree became more personally engaged with race relations in the U.S. He chaired Chicago's Commission on Race Relations, helped create Roosevelt College, and was co-founder of the American Council on Race Relations. Late in life, Embree was president of the Liberian Foundation, devoted to improving health and education in Africa's oldest republic.
