Detailed Description of the Collection

1. YMCA Graduate School and Blue Ridge Association, 1917-1944.

About 34,000 items.
Chiefly records of the YMCA Graduate School and the Blue Ridge Association during the years in which Willis D. Weatherford was the president of each of these organizations: 1919-1936 for the Graduate School, 1917-1944 for Blue Ridge. The material consists primarily of incoming and outgoing correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, lists, applications, and printed material. It covers all aspects of managing these institutions: fundraising, administration, recruitment of students and staff, Christian leadership training, student work assignments, student projects, relations with the Southern Region Headquarters of the YMCA, cooperation between the YMCA Graduate School and other Nashville schools including Vanderbilt University, Scarritt College, and Fisk University, relations between Blue Ridge and Black Mountain College, and conferences held at Blue Ridge. The papers also include material pertaining to Lee School for Boys and attempts to establish Cragmore School for Girls at Blue Ridge during the winter months.
This series also contains a substantial amount of material relating to Weatherford's other professional interests. Material on the American Cast Iron Pipe Company (ACIPCO) of Birmingham, Ala., relates to Weatherford's responsibilities as a member of the board of directors and of the wage committee, labor relations at the plant, and the involvement of many of the company's executives on the Blue Ridge board of directors and their financial support for Blue Ridge. The papers also reflect Weatherford's interest in race relations; problems presented by interracial participation in conferences in an era of legally mandated segregation constitute an important topic. Correspondence concerning Weatherford's courses on race relations at the YMCA Graduate School is also included. Material pertaining to research for Weatherford's books and projects as well as personal financial material and correspondence with close friends is included in this series.
The arrangement of this series adheres closely to the order of the material as received. The files consist of subject folders arranged by year. Within each year, the YMCA Graduate School material precedes that of Blue Ridge, with the files for each institution filed alphabetically. Users should note that Weatherford's filing system contained many inconsistencies, and there is a great deal of overlap between the YMCA Graduate School and the Blue Ridge material. Most folder headings are those used by Weatherford and his staff, except for some folders and titles added or altered for consistency and in order to make the material more accessible.
During processing, much routine material was discarded or sampled. Material discarded includes routine bills and receipts, requests for transcripts, equipment catalogs, notices of board meetings, recommendation letters, copies of form letters, and requests for information at the Blue Ridge grounds. Folders containing samples of the original correspondence are so labeled.
This series overlaps in part with other series. For more extensive material on race relations, users should consult Series 5. Race Relations and Series 3. Fisk University. Material on the YMCA and its Southern Region Headquarters, which supervised Weatherford in his roles as a president of the YMCA Graduate School and Blue Rige, is filed in Series 2. National YMCA. Finally, Series 6. Other Papers includes personal material and papers relating to the American Cast Iron Pipe Company, 1943-1969.
