Emory Historian's Blog. Tag Archives: Robert Woodruff. Merry Christmas from the Woodruffs. December 23, 2016. Emory colleagues Kathryn Dixson and Gretchen Warner have a gift for making material from the archives more eye-catching than a Macy’s store window on 34th Street. They design and mount exhibits in Emory’s Rose Library and Schatten Gallery, and for the last couple of years they have graciously added to their work the display case on the first floor of the Administration Building. By the time of Ro...

Emory Historian's Blog. The water tower and the golfer. October 3, 2016. It stood above the campus like a sentry, as if to guard against drought and keep watch for welcome rain clouds on the horizon. In my recollection it was always blue, though not Emory blue–more like the blue of a robin’s egg. The old water tower on Emory’s campus resembled a golf ball on a tee. The tower appears here in the catalogue of the manufacturer. The tower had been installed at Emory). The patent and the catalogue from th...

Emory Historian's Blog. Halloween, ghosts, and graveyards. October 31, 2016. Only knows what goes on at the Briarcliff mansion, but check it out here. The best Emory ghost story surely comes from Mike Wilhoit, who 45 years ago was working late at night in the Tufts House (formerly Uppergate House), when he encountered a woman who couldn’t have been there but was– and then wasn’t. The Confederate cemetery near Williams Gymnasium at Oxford College, as it appeared in 1959 much as it appears today. Richard H...

Emory Historian's Blog. January 31, 2017. Pardon me for trying to grab your attention à la. Or some click-bait headline. But when I came across these images in the Rose Library, I was stunned and wanted to share them. Ever since I first laid eyes on the tower next to the dam in Lullwater Preserve, more than thirty years ago, I have wondered what it looked like in its glory days. Below is its current condition. Below is what it looked like when newly built. At some point, Candler decided to dam Richardson...

Emory Historian's Blog. Reprise of a great tradition. November 8, 2016. My article about the Atlanta Music Festival appeared today in the online “Saporta Report,” and I thought I’d share it here for those who don’t subscribe to Maria Saporta’s excellent newsletter. One instance of this phenomenon will be on display for the umpteenth time on November 18, when the historic Atlanta Music Festival mounts its concluding gala concert at Glenn Memorial Auditorium on the Emory University campus. As Andrews, a pr...
