momentary) which caused him to lose his job as a waiter. He reluctantly visited Mrs.
Blaine (her secretaries) to suggest she make up the wages he had lost. The
secretaries continually wondered whether he would initiate a law suit.

Barnard, Joseph H., 1930-194568 folders Location: Riven Rock Estate, Montecito, California (near Santa Barbara). Riven Rock was an estate operated by a Board of Guardians consisting of Mrs. Blaine,
Harold McCormick, Mrs. Stanley McCormick, and a group of professionals at a cost of
over $250,000 per year for Stanley McCormick, incompetent son of Cyrus Hall
McCormick. Joseph H. Barnard acted as executive secretary to the board of guardians for the
administration of Riven Rock from 1930 to 1945. Lieutenant Colonel Barnard served 32
years in the United States Army before accepting this position. The 68 folders filed
under the name of Joseph Barnard consist mainly of his weekly reports from Riven Rock
and very comprehensive monthly reports to the board of guardians. Several maps of the estate grounds and buildings are found in the folder for
September and October, 1931. The primary interest of Barnard in his reports was the general administration of
Riven Rock. From his very complete monthly reports much can be learned: about prices
of almost anything from 1930 to 1945, wage and salary rates, problem of securing
adequate water supply, the progression of taxes on personal income during the war
years, administration of a large estate, and a host of day to day problems. Important
to the fruit growing economy of the West is a telegram dated March 1, 1935, which
explains very concisely the operation of the Johnston Fruit Company, a growers'
cooperative of Montecito to which every fruit grower had to belong in order to market
his fruit. Although Barnard's reports do not attempt to explain the development of Mr. Stanley
McCormick's mental health from 1930 to 1945, much can be learned through the minutes
of the annual meetings of the Board of Guardians which usually met between March and
July. This source of information is valuable as a case history of a mental patient
whom some doctors classified as suffering from psychosis, others from schizophrenia.
What is unusual about this case is that money was no object in the treatment of this
man's malady. Thousands of dollars were spent each month in securing the best medical
aid. The reports of the different doctors on this case are revealing. The more
complete reports are listed below. Reports filed under: - July 14, 1832. Arguments regarding the relative value of Psychiatry,
Psychoanalysis, and medical treatment of the patient. (Mrs. Stanley McCormick is
found usually favoring only medical treatment while the brother and sister of the
patient are willing to try almost anything).
- May 20, 1935.
- April 12, 1937. In addition to the usual report on the mental health of Mr.
McCormick includes a consideration of possible shock treatment through the injection
of insulin.
- April 28, 1943. Includes a summary of current treatments of schizophrenia which
is very complete.
Other items of interest in these folders are: - Musical therapy. Mr. McCormick was interested in orchestral and vocal music and
had on the estate a small orchestra. Mr. Eldred, musical director at Riven Rock,
reveals the type of therapy in letters dated December 6, 1935, but found in the June
and July, 1936 folder. See also monthly financial reports for special artists
brought to Riven Rock to perform for Mr. McCormick.
- Legal case of Miss Copren. She was a R.N. at Riven Rock who was injured by a
blow from Mr. McCormick. Information on this case is found throughout the 1935 -1936
folders.
- Security. A report dated May 27, 1942 reveals some measures of the United States
government to protect the California coast from invasion. The general tone of the
reports in the war years is that there should be less spending for luxuries that are
visible to the public.
- Western ranches. The guardians thought it necessary to arrange an alternative
estate for Mr. McCormick in case of evacuation from the coast. The folder for
August, 1942 contains information and photographs of ranches in the West which were
considered by the guardians.
Scattered throughout the folders are documents which indicate the legal status of an
incompetent person.

programs of this organization. At times Mrs. Blaine sent contributions to the
organization.
Other organizations which Barnes corresponded about were: The International
Committee On Moral Training Inquiry, which was designed to promote moral training
and good citizenship through the public schools; Committee of Fifteen, which had as
its purpose to combat prostitution in the Chicago area; Chicago Church Federation,
designed to organize the Chicago Protestants; Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America; World Court Committee, of which Barnes was chairman; In most
cases Barnes' letters do not go into detail about the organization. Mrs. Blaine was

forbidding private citizens to own or manufacture fire arms, censorship of movies,
magazines, books, etcetera (suppression of all atrocious crimes and sex problems),

Barr, Norman B., 1900-19433 folders Location: Chicago, Illinois. Reference to “Fellowship of Reconciliation.” May 3-5, 1935. Dr. Norman S.
Barr was pastor and superintendent of Olivet Institute, a community service center, in
the heart of Chicago. Dr. Barr served as devoted pastor and skillful fund raiser for
the Institute from 1900-1942. Olivet Institute served the poor, especially the poor
immigrants, of Chicago. As early as 1911 the Institute had seven departments;
athletic, educational, musical, medical, outing, relief, and religious. Under Dr.
Barr's leadership the Institute continually expanded. Mrs. Cyrus Hall McCormick
generously responded to Dr. Barr's requests and at one time contributed a lump sum of
$100,000. Harold McCormick served on the Board of Trustees for many years. Mrs. Blaine
was not as enthusiastic about Olivet Institute as her mother was, but she did respond
to Dr. Barr's frequent requests. He wanted aid for buildings, mothers' and children's
camp at Lake Geneva, but most often for operating expenses. The 1941 and 1942
correspondence contains Mr. Barr's views of international affairs. Throughout the
correspondence Mr. Barr's skill as fund raiser is demonstrated.
