Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1989 March, 22 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes From Michael Panhorst (Director) June 7, 1991 "RE: Tracy W. McGregor Portrait Relief Earlier this week in conversations with Marshall Fredericks, possibly on Monday when the docents were in Birmingham, Fredericks mentioned that McGregor had given a lot of money to a lot of libraries around the United States. He also indicated that casts of Fredericks' Portrait Relief had been distributed or installed in those various libraries around the country. Our records at this point in time only indicate that there are bronze replicas at the McGregor Library at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and a copy at McGregor High School in Detroit. We currently do not know the material of either cast." Mcgregorfund.org website: Tracy McGregor was born in Berlin Heights, Ohio, in 1869. Following his father's death in 1891, he left college and came to Detroit to take over operation of a mission for homeless men founded by his father. What came to be known as the McGregor Institute was located in several buildings along Brush Street. An estimated 700,000 men were housed or fed in the Institute, which closed in 1934 when the federal government took over care of the indigent as a result of the Great Depression. Katherine Whitney was born in 1873 into a wealthy Detroit family. Her father, David Whitney, made his business in lumbering and real estate. Not content to spend her time pursuing the usual social pleasures of her class, Katherine was directly involved in helping persons who were less fortunate. For instance, when she inherited a large house in Highland Park, she set it up as a haven for homeless children who had been kept in various institutions. When the children grew up and left the home, she deeded the property to the City of Highland Park for use as a library. The city later constructed a new McGregor Library which still stands on this site on Woodward Avenue in Highland Park. Katherine Whitney met Tracy McGregor while she was a volunteer for the Infant's Ward Association of the Children's Free Hospital. The two married in November, 1901. Tracy McGregor became one of Detroit's influential citizens. Along with a group of business associates, he formed the Provident Loan Society to make loans at reasonable rates. He helped organize the Thursday Group, a number of civic leaders who met weekly to discuss community problems, tackling such issues as justice in police courts, inhumane prisons, and care for people with epilepsy. He was a supporter and trustee of the Merrill Palmer Institute as well as several universities. In 1925, Tracy and Katherine began the McGregor Fund with a contribution of $5,000. The Fund made its first grants in 1931, supporting care of the indigent, relief for the sick, and higher education. Katherine also made several large gifts to the Fund. The total of the McGregors' contributions to the Fund amounted to approximately $10 million. A collector of rare books in his later years, Tracy McGregor's collection of Americana was donated to the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia following his death in 1936. Katherine died in 1954. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Storage Room A - G4 Provenance 03/22/1989 gifted to MFSM 06/03/2010 moved from archives to Storage A Notes MF, Sculptor copy: Founders of Cranbrook Educational Community, Bloomfield Hills, MI. Booth was publisher of the Detroit News and very interested in the Arts and Crafts movement in the early 1920s. It was at that time he set out to create an art and educational village situated in the rolling morainic landscape north of Detroit. He built first a village church in the Gothic style, designed by Bertram G. Goodhue Associates, whose interior was enriched by work of the leading artisans in the Arts and Crafts movement at that time. A change of direction came in 1927 when Booth brought the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen to Cranbrook as architect-in-residence. Saarinen built an ensemble of buildings, a school for boys, another for girls, a museum of art, a museum of science, an art school, studios, and residences. He gathered about him a group of highly talented Swedish craftsmen and Carl Milles, a sculptor of major reputation in Europe as a creator of outdoor bronze figures and fountains, as sculptor-in-residence. Michigan.gov website: "Cranbrook had its beginnings in 1904, when George Gough Booth, publisher of the Detroit News, and his wife, Ellen Warren Scripps Booth, bought a large farm in the rolling countryside of Bloomfield Hills and named it after the English village of Cranbrook, the Booth family ancestral home. Taking up residence in 1907, the Booths gradually transformed their farm estate into a remarkable cultural and educational complex consisting of their home, Cranbrook House; the Meeting House, which was expanded into the elementary Brookside School; Christ Church, Cranbrook; Cranbrook School for boys; Cranbrook Academy of Art; Kingswood School for girls; and Cranbrook Institute of Science." Cranbrook.edu website: "The institutions of Cranbrook never would have been established had it not been for the dream of its founders, George and Ellen Booth, to achieve something of lasting value and service with the resources they possessed. As George Booth stated at the dedication of Cranbrook School in 1927: We were unwilling to go through life with our aims centered mainly in the pursuit of wealth and with a devotion wholly to the ordinary opportunity for social satisfaction. We were not willing to leave all of the more enduring joys for our children or the joy of work in so good a cause entirely to our friends after we had passed on; rather did we wish, in our day, to do what we could and give tangible expression now to our other accomplishments by adventures into a still more enduring phase of life. We wished to see our dreams come true while we were, to the best of our ability, helping to carry on the work of creation. The dream of the Booths was a lifetime in the making. Despite their widely divergent backgrounds, each was raised in a family setting that encouraged personal growth, spiritual development, and a commitment to community service -- values that remained with them throughout their lives. Born into a modest household in Toronto, Ontario on September 24, 1864, George Gough Booth left school at 14 to apprentice as a metalworker. A business venture of his father brought the family to Detroit in 1881, and it was there, through church activities, that the young Booth first made the acquaintance of his future bride. When still in his teens, Booth acquired a half interest in a Windsor iron works firm which manufactured grilles, fences, and gates of his own design. At 23 he sold the business and, at the invitation of his father-in-law, James Scripps, became the business manager of the Detroit Evening News. Booth rose through the company ranks to build the News into a great metropolitan daily and to head its parent firm, the Evening News Association. Booth began purchasing small newspapers in several Michigan cities in the 1890s. These he combined in 1914 with others belonging to his brothers Ralph and Edmund to form Booth Newspapers, Inc., one of the industry's largest chains. Secured of a substantial fortune, he devoted the remaining decades of his life to the development of the Cranbrook institutions. In contrast, Ellen Scripps Booth enjoyed a very comfortable home life as a young woman. She was born in Detroit on July 10, 1863, the eldest child of Harriet and James Scripps, who founded the Evening News Association in 1873. Upon her graduation from high school, she accompanied her parents on several trips to Europe, where the Scripps' made extensive purchases of paintings, prints, rare books, and other works of art for their home on Trumbull Avenue. Many of these were later donated to the Detroit Museum of Art and today form the nucleus of the Detroit Institute of Art's collection of old master paintings and prints and the Detroit Public Library's rare book collection. The couple were wed in 1887 and resided for the next 21 years in Detroit. In 1904, the Booths purchased a badly run-down and overgrown farm in the gently rolling countryside of Bloomfield Hills, then a sparsely populated farming community some distance from the city. They immediately named the property Cranbrook after the village birthplace of George Booth`s father in Kent County, England, and set about improving the land as a vacation spot and potential home site for the family, now grown to include five children. Working largely from plans drawn up by Booth, teams of landscape architects, farmers, gardeners, and laborers were engaged to transform the untended fields of Cranbrook into a beautiful country estate and working farm. Dams and bridges were constructed, miles of roads and winding paths were laid out, cottages and farm buildings erected, and thousands of trees and shrubs were planted to shade the barren hills and supplement the natural growth of the property. In June 1908, the family moved into their new home, Cranbrook House, which was designed by the noted Detroit architect Albert Kahn. Under provisions made in the will of James Scripps, who had died two years previously, the vacated city estate was purchased, the home doubled in size by Kahn's firm, and donated to the city as the Scripps Library and Park. George Booth personally designed the wrought iron fences and gates of the park and laid out the gardens surrounding the library." (Written by Mark Coir, Director of Archives, Cranbrook Educational Community) Molly Barth copy: Below are portrait reliefs of various people. On the right is George and Ellen Booth, the founders of Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

The medal was produced to recognize the friendship between both countries and as a source of revenue. Molly Barth copy: Down below are models for several medallions. These show the obverse and the reverse, or front and back of each one. The Rebild National Park Society Medallion. In Denmark, this is where the Rebild National Park Society is. Well, Denmark is the only country that celebrates our Fourth of July. It's quite a festive time, the Queen of Denmark comes and then the dignitaries from the United States come. And, of course, Mr. Fredericks has been the Danish Counsel, an honorary Danish Counsel, for the state of Michigan since 1964. Fredericks' father was Danish and his grandmother was Norwegian, so he has strong ties to Scandinavia. It is a festive time when the Queen comes to Rebild for the Fourth of July celebration. Rebild is a natural amphitheater. The hills are covered with heather and they have a replica of the Lincoln log cabin there. On the reverse of the medallion, Fredericks included a portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the Lincoln log cabin. On the obverse of the medallion is the Danish crest and the American Eagle. The Rebild National Park always celebrates the United States' Fourth of July. Some Danes who came to the United States had done very well and they bought property in Denmark and gave it to the Danish government. But they stipulated that they wanted the Danish people and the Americans to celebrate the Fourth of July every year. And they do. As I mentioned, Queen Margretha comes and consuls from the United States, and Fredericks has gone every year. He is an American vice-president for the society.

The building was dedicated September 24, 1970 and the plaque was dedicated April 18, 1973. Stapleton was a Family Physician, a professor of Medical Jurisprudence and a Historian. It was comissioned by Wayne State University. The plaque is mounted on Minnesota Sunset red granite." Molly Barth copy: The last portrait relief is of William Stapleton. He was a good friend of Fredericks also. A bronze cast is located inside the Shiffman Library, Medical Library at Wayne State University. The relief above the display case is the Eaton War Memorial Eagle. That was made for the Eaton Manufacturing Company in Ohio. They had divisions throughout Ohio and Michigan. This was done in memorial to "The men and women of this organization who gave their lives for their country." The main branch of the company had the eagle, plus a list of the men who had given their lives for their country. All their names were carved into a marble wall. The eagle was also cast in bronze for the Saginaw division of the Eaton Manufacturing Company.

The building was dedicated September 24, 1970 and the plaque was dedicated April 18, 1973. Stapleton was a Family Physician, a professor of Medical Jurisprudence and a Historian. It was comissioned by Wayne State University. The plaque is mounted on Minnesota Sunset red granite." Molly Barth copy: The last portrait relief is of William Stapleton. He was a good friend of Fredericks also. A bronze cast is located inside the Shiffman Library, Medical Library at Wayne State University. The relief above the display case is the Eaton War Memorial Eagle. That was made for the Eaton Manufacturing Company in Ohio. They had divisions throughout Ohio and Michigan. This was done in memorial to "The men and women of this organization who gave their lives for their country." The main branch of the company had the eagle, plus a list of the men who had given their lives for their country. All their names were carved into a marble wall. The eagle was also cast in bronze for the Saginaw division of the Eaton Manufacturing Company.

It honors 113 employees of the Eaton Corporation killed in World War II. The dedication date was September 9, 1949. The dedication was broadcast to about 7200 employees in 12 Eaton plants simultaneously. Fredericks also designed a portrait relief of the founder of the company, Joseph O. Eaton. There is a cast of it in the lobby of the Cleveland office which is the general office. Memorial medallions were presented to the next of kin. In 1949 Eaton was ranked as one of the five largest manufacturers of automobile parts in the world. Today I went to the Eaton office in Saginaw to photograph the memorial. It is cast in bronze and is the same size as the plaster original in the gallery. It is mounted on a granite wall and below the relief several names are engraved in the granite. I assume these are the individuals from the Saginaw plant who died in World War II. MF, Sculptor copy: The Eaton War Memorial Free-form reliefs in metal upon a contrasting stone background, as seen in the Louisville doorway, were a favorite device of Fredericks's to enrich the flat planes and austere surfaces of twentieth-century architecture. He used it in a variety of places to express a variety of themes. The War Memorial for the Eaton Manufacturing Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio, is an instance of its use in an interior space, where the sculpture and the list of names are to be seen at close range and the scale is necessarily small. In other instances it is used on a very large scale. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Eaton War Memorial Eagle [Plaster] Subject The topic of the resource Animal sculpture--20th century Description An account of the resource EATON WAR MEMORIAL EAGLE, 1948 Plaster original Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks 1991.095 This memorial was commissioned in honor of the employees of the Eaton Manufacturing Corporation who died in World War II. This bronze relief was mounted on a marble wall in which was inscribed the names of those employees who gave their lives for their country. This eagle is the most prominent element. Typical of Fredericks style, the details of the eagle's body and feathers are simplified with a slight suggestion of detail. The face and obverse of the medallion are visible in the relief. In its talons it grasps an olive branch and arrows signifying a capacity for both peace and war. On the obverse of the medallion in front of the eagle, the inscription is encircled with a laurel branch on the left and an oak branch on the right. These signify victory and strength. Fredericks also designed a medallion for the Eaton Manufacturing Corporation which can be viewed on page 219 of the book Marshall M. Fredericks, Sculptor.

They are mounted on Veined Ebony Black granite. Mr. Fredericks said the following about the reliefs. 'I hoped to make this something you would not just look at one time and dismiss. I wanted it to be something that the children would be able to understand and enjoy and see something different about it each time they saw it again.'" MF archives: Marshall was contacted by Donald Oenslager of New York, design consultant for the new Louisville Courier Building, regarding this commission. Mr. Oenslager had been asked to approach Carl Milles about doing the sculptural reliefs for this building entrance. Mr. Oenslager states in a letter to Marshall dated July 29, 1946: "They suggested I approach your Father-Superior, Karl Milles, about sculptural work for the building. This I have done hoping, with you in the back of my mind, that his fee might be too expensive and that he might be too occupied. That is the case and I have proposed to the owners that I get in touch with (you) about designing and executing the sculptural decorations of the main entrance of the building. The owners and publishers of the papers are very much in favor of my proposal and I am writing to you to inquire whether their project might interest you." He continues "For subject matter the clients seem inclined toward the representation of a number of scenes and episodes from the history of the state of Kentucky." Barry Bingham was the owner of the new Courier-Journal building and former ambassador to London's son and a young and progressive editor who has a very deep interest in the contemporary arts. He corresponds frequently and cordially with Marshall on the design of his relief sculpture. Marshall did take on this commission for the sum of $10,000 which was paid to him in three payments of $3333.33. His intent for the project was for "children to be able to understand and enjoy and see something different about it each time they saw it again." MF, Sculptor: The main entrance to the building of the Louisville Courier-Journal presented another kind of problem-to embody the spirit and the history of a state in visual form. The building was a not unusual downtown business structure, having an entrance in the form of a shallow rectangular recess. Fredericks took as the subject for its enrichment the history of the region, in which the Courier-Journal is the one great newspaper. Kentucky, one of the earliest states to be settled by the tide of western migration, has a store of memories: the pioneer settlers, the great rivers with their picturesque side-wheelers, its farms and blooded horses. The tall space over the door was a difficulty which was solved by grouping these memories in bronze low reliefs, arranged as if free-flowing on a polished black granite background, as they might present themselves in the imagination-a pioneer family with the animals in the forest; riverboats and giant catfish; tobacco and sheep; thoroughbred horses. These free-form reliefs, completed in 1948, were a skillful solution to the problem of an awkwardly shaped wall area. Molly Barth copy: On this wall are fragments of the scale-models for The Spirit of Kentucky relief which was made to go above the entrance of the "Louisville Courier Journal" newspaper building in Louisville, Kentucky. The bronze sculpture in Louisville is 16 feet x 16 feet square. These vignettes of life in Kentucky float on the. The newspaper commissioned Fredericks to do this. It was dedicated in 1947. They wanted to tell a little bit about Kentucky so that students or children coming to see how a newspaper was made they could look and see a little bit of their state history as they were walking into the building or as they were walking along the sidewalk. The two fragments we are missing are the thoroughbred horses and the tobacco industry. On the left are two raccoons with their dinner that they caught. In the middle is the giant catfish with the paddlewheels. On the right is the pioneer family with the woodland animals. Down below, again, are the giant catfish and the paddlewheels. Those two on the right are just the quarter-scale models. The other two, the raccoons the larger catfish and the paddlewheels are the full-size plaster models. They are the same size as the bronze casts now located on the facade of the building. There you've got the giant catfish and the paddlewheels, but up above in the tree limbs, are Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer looking down on the paddlewheels. These were cast in bronze. When Fredericks was commissioned to do this, the newspaper invited him and Mrs. Fredericks to come to tour their state, so that he could experience first-hand what Kentucky was like. He did and he came up with some very nice aspects, of liking Kentucky, the spirit of Kentucky.
