    Charles Wallace Collins papers

    No full text
    Charles Wallace Collins (1879-1964) was a lawyer, writer, and librarian. During a long career in Washington, D.C., his positions included director of the Economic Section of the Legislative Reference Service at the Library of Congress, Librarian of the Supreme Court, General Counsel for the Bureau of the Budget, and Deputy Comptroller of the Currency. In addition, he was an authority on banking law and in his private law practice he served as counsel to many of the leading financial institutions and bank holding companies in the United States. His relationship with the Bank of America was particularly significant. Following his retirement in 1927, Collins devoted himself to restoring and renovating his home, an eighteenth-century estate known as "Harmony Hall," and other properties he owned in Prince George's County, MD. He also wrote several books and pamphlets expressing his views supporting "states' rights" and segregation. Collins's wife, Sue Spencer Collins (1895-1983) shared his interest in historic preservation, and enjoyed researching her family's genealogy. She was active in organizations such as the Colonial Dames and Daughters of the Confederacy, as well as social organizations such as the Washington Club. Her other interests included flower arrangement, fashion, and cooking. The Papers of Charles Wallace Collins consist of correspondence, clippings, essays, articles, pamphlets, and other publications generated or collected by Collins and his wife, Sue Spencer Collins. Areas of emphasis include the restoration of Harmony Hall and the daily maintenance of the farm, Collins' consulting relationships with banks, and his views on segregation and civil rights. Sue Spencer Collins' papers deal with domesticity; social activities; family; and her own genealogical research

    Influence Of The Tio2 Content On The Chromatographic Performance And High Ph Stability Of C18 Titanized Phases

    No full text
    To extend pH stability, protective metal oxide layers, such as titanium oxide, that are more stable in alkaline medium, can be chemically bonded to the chromatographic silica surface prior to reaction with silanes. In the present work, the influence of the titanium oxide content on the chromatographic performance was investigated by synthesizing a C18 phase onto a doubly-titanized silica support and comparing its chromatographic performance with a C18 phase on singly-titanized silica. The Engelhardt and Tanaka test mixtures were used for chromatographic characterizations using short HPLC columns. The column lifetimes of these titanized phases were also compared by performing accelerated aging tests at 50 °C using aggressive phosphate mobile phases at pH 10. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
