Bach, Johann Sebastian, 1685-1750.
[Musical score] [c. 1730] Triosonata No. 3 in D Minor / Johann Sebastian Bach.
The manuscript fragment is from Bach's Triosonata No. 3 in D minor, BMV 527, the first movement, measures 91-112, written during Bach's years in Leipzig (1727-1730) during which he wrote six triosonatas for the organ. This fragment, probably intended as a practice piece, is in the hand of one of Bach's copyists identified as "Kast's Anonymous No. 18." Bach, a German composer and organist, wrote instrumental, chamber, vocal, and church music, serving as the court organist at Weimar (1708-17), the court concert master (1714-17), the court Kapellmeister (1717-25) and the director of university music from 1723 onwards.
Besterman, Theodore, 1904-1976.
[Letter] 1951 January 16, London [to] James Mack, Bethlehem, Pa. / Theodore Besterman.
Besterman expresses his thanks to James Mack, Lehigh librarian, for sending him a photocopy of the Voltaire letter in Lehigh's collection.
Coolidge, Calvin, 1872-1933.
[Letter] 1930 December 19, Northampton, Mass., [to] Gilbert E. Doan, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa. / Calvin Coolidge.
Coolidge writes that he once attended a town celebration in Cape Cod where he met many members of the Doan Family. Like most of the other families, "I note you have gone away to help other people" and he wishes him success. Coolidge had a long political career, serving in the state senate, then as lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts (1916-18), later as Governor (1919-20), then as Harding's Vice President (1921-23), and as 30th President of the United States after Harding's death (1923-29).
Coppée, Henry, 1821-1895.
[Letter] 1872 January 1, South Bethlehem, PA [to] W.J. Roepper / Henry Coppée.
Coppée places on record an "official statement" of Roepper's rank and position at Lehigh, stating the "sincere regrets" of the University that he chose not to remain when "we would have gladly retained your valuable services." Coppée reviews Roepper's service as Professor of Mineralogy and Geology and Curator of the Museum since 1866, praising his knowledge and teaching skills. Prior to assuming the duties as the first President of Lehigh from 1866 to 1875, Coppée worked on the railroad, fought in the Army during the Mexican War, and taught at West Point and the University of Pennsylvania. During his term in office, many buildings including the President's house, Packer Hall, and the University Center were constructed; Coppée also delivered lectures on history, logic, rhetoric, political economy and Shakespeare.
Coppée, Henry, 1821-1895.
[Letter] 1854 October 27, West Point, NY [to] [Ruggles?] / H[enry] Coppée.
Coppée states that he will be an applicant for a professorship at the University of Pennsylvania and requests Ruggles' recommendation for the post. Coppée reviews his record and his matriculation at Yale, asserting that he has kept up with his classics reading and could assume the position without the "painful necessity of rapid preparation." He states that, if successful, he will "vindicate your good opinion." Coppée did earn the professorship at the University of Pennsylvania, leaving his teaching duties at West Point; he would go on from Penn to become the first President of Lehigh, serving from 1866 to 1875. As a young man, Coppée worked on the railroad and fought in the Army during the Mexican War. During his term in office, many buildings including the President's house, Packer Hall, and the University Center were constructed; Coppée also delivered lectures on history, logic, rhetoric, political economy and Shakespeare.
