Talk:Frank Rutter

message: Four hyphenated words have been turned into compound words with the explanation "undo archaic hyphenation practice". This article is UK English, so should follow current UK practice. I have restored hypenation on that basis. Below are search results for usage in two mainstream UK papers:
*co-founded
**701 in The Daily Telegraph, 
**1,410 in The Guardian.
*cofounded
**1 in The Daily Telegraph.
**18 in The Guardian.
"Co-founded" should be used.
*short-lived
**2,670 in The Daily Telegraph, 
**18,600 in The Guardian.
*shortlived
**164 in The Daily Telegraph.
**434 in The Guardian.
"Short-lived" should be used.
*inter-war
**248 in The Daily Telegraph.
**217 in The Guardian.
**178 in The Independent.
*interwar
**36 in The Daily Telegraph.
**266 in The Guardian.
**57 in The Independent.
"Inter-war" should be used. It is the majority usage and follows results of other words above (third opinion of The Independent called in).
*non-juried and nonjuried
**These terms produce no results at all, so hypenation restored on the basis of results above and for consistency.

message: This passage has been deleted because "Rutter's founding of the fund did not follow Durand-Ruel's show": 
:Nevertheless, following the Impressionist exhibition staged in 1905 by Durand-Ruel in the Grafton Galleries
:The FIF was founded in 1905 according to the two sources, Taylor and Who Was Who. Taylor says that "in the wake" of Durand-Ruel's show in 1905, Rutter organised the public subscription and bought the Boudin. Where is the source for saying that he founded the FIF before D-R's show? Just to complicate things, ODNB says, "When the French art dealers Durand-Ruel staged a superb impressionist exhibition in London in 1905, Rutter initiated a Sunday Times fund to buy for the National Gallery." I presume the "Sunday Times fund" is one and the same with the FIF. Unfortunately, the sources I have found either use the first term or the second, without making the relationship between them explicit. Ty 05:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Rutter launched his appeals for donations early into the two month exhibition at the Grafton Galleries. Consult Kate Flint, ed., 1984, The Impressionists in England : the critical reception. This is a collection of documents including cuttings, book passages, etc. The first reviews of the exhibition to be quoted in Flint are dated 17 Jan. (p. 203, if I remember correctly; I looked at the book yesterday -- the book, not the Google Books preview). Rutter, referring to the exhibition, appealed for donations in his Sunday Times column on 22 Jan and 29 Jan. (pp. 214-218). In those appeals, he did not use the expression "French Impressionist fund", nor did he say, "I am setting up a fund". Google Books displays the column of 29 Jan. Numerous search engine hits agree D-R's show took place January to February. Obviously it was being organi(z)ed in 1904. It is likely Rutter was advised of the show weeks in advance. It is conceivable that he conceived of the fund appeal during 1904 and independently of any awareness of the upcoming D-R show. But the evidence I have alluded to most strongly supports the interpretation that his appeals of 22 Jan and 29 Jan were inspired by the mass exhibit at the Grafton Galleries, which opened sometime between 1-16 Jan.

text: I have come up empty too. I got hold of his memoir, Since I was twenty-five (1927), which is almost entirely about the period 1901-1914, and in the Epilogue, he wrote "I was an A.A.O. at the Admiralty". I have not yet found any British Navy "A.A.O." Google. Hurmata (talk) 22:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
