Theodore Francis Green papers (01.09.01)

The papers document the activities of the RISD Endowment Committee of 1902, on which Theodore Francis Green served as Chair. Appointed in November 1901, the committee raised over $50,000 by June 1, 1902 to match a $50,000 donation by Stephen O., Manton B., and Jesse H. Metcalf and their sister Eliza G. Radeke. The records include correspondence with donors, both potential and actual; the Committee report; meeting correspondence; newspaper clippings and notices sent to the local newspapers; lists of potential donors; subscription appeals; and subscription lists with donation amounts. The series includes four letters dated 1910 regarding School matters not related to the Endowment Committee: two from Director Huger Elliott, and one each from Trustees Eliza G. Radeke and Howard M. Rice.
