| BOX 1-58, 64, 66R-71R | Student Applications, 1947-1980 | ||||||||||||
| This series consists of student applications for the American Conservatory at
Fontainebleau submitted between 1947 and 1980. While many applications include
students’ photographs, résumés, petition letters, reference letters, college and
university transcripts, and correspondence with the admission officer, not all of
these materials may be present for each application. Observations from the
admission officer on students’ materials are also occasionally reported. Travel
accommodation and documents relating to financial funding and scholarships also
appear with some applications, as well as certificates regarding the specific
status of students attending the school with support of the G. I. Bill. Notable names such as Louise Talma, Nadia Boulanger, and Robert Casadesus frequently recur throughout the series in correspondence. Others, like Germaine Tailleferre, Paul Hindemith, and Darius Milhaud, sporadically appear in the recommendation letters supporting the students’ applications. Students who later gained prominence include Donald Grantham, Philip Glass, Adolphus Hailstork, Andreas Makris, Joe Raposo, and Louise Talma. In the 1970s, institutions such as Catholic University in Washington, D.C., and the University of Tennessee submitted applications for several students as a group, and those groupings have been retained. While the series provides insight into the selection process and student demographics of the American Conservatory throughout the years, it also shows the personal relationships that some of the students established with the institution and offers perspective on the international and artistic community fashioned in Fontainebleau. The applications for music students in 1966 are not present. |
