You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Wayman Crow''' (March 7, 1808 – May 10, 1885) was one of the founders of [[Washington University in St. Louis|Washington University]], a St. Louis businessman, and a politician.

== Early life ==
Born in [[Hartford, Kentucky]], on March 7, 1808, Crow was the youngest of eight children. His parents, Joshua and Mary Wayman Crow, came to Kentucky from Maryland. Joshua practiced law until his death in 1830.<ref name=":1">((Cite book|title=Dictionary of Missouri Biography|last=Christensen|first=Lawrence O.|last2=Foley|first2=William E.|last3=Kremer|first3=Gary R.|last4=Winn|first4=Kenneth H.|publisher=University of Missouri Press|year=1999|location=Columbia, Missouri))</ref> Until Wayman was twelve, he attended the Hopkinsville, Kentucky country school. At that point, he became an apprentice to a dry goods storekeeper, Strother J. Hawkins.

== Business career ==
At Hawkins' store, Wayman learned bookkeeping and how to run a business while working at the store and sleeping on a cot there. Hawkins retired when Crow was fifteen and he moved to an apprenticeship at another firm, Anderson and Atterbury. After completing his apprenticeship, Crow was given responsibility for an entire store in Cadiz, Kentucky. Crow was given the opportunity to buy this business when Anderson and Atterbury moved to Pittsburgh. Crow then sold the business in 1835, amassing what was then a fortune of twenty thousand dollars.<ref name=":1" />

Crow began looking for a place to settle farther north. However, he fell ill in [[St. Louis|St. Louis, Missouri]], and was detained there. Crow decided to settle in the city, where, in 1835, he partnered with his cousin, Joshua Tevis in a business, Crow and Tevis.<ref name=":1" /> The business later became Crow, McCreery, and Company and was eventually called Crow, Hagardine, and Company. Crow was the head of this firm until he died.<ref name=":1" />

== Political career ==
Crow became interested in local politics in St. Louis. In 1840, Crow was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce.<ref name=":0">((Cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/20569|title=Wayman Crow|date=February 28, 2001|website=Find A Grave|access-date=September 29, 2016))</ref> In 1840, he was elected as a [[Whig Party (United States)|Whig]] to the [[Missouri State Senate]] and again in 1850.<ref name=":1" /> Crow helped in getting charters for the Hannibal and St. Joseph and Missouri Pacific Railroads.<ref name=":1" /> In 1846 he secured the charter for the [[St. Louis Mercantile Library]] Association, the oldest library west of the [[Mississippi River]]. Crow also helped in attaining a charter for the St. Louis Asylum for the Blind.<ref name=":1" />

== Founding of Washington University ==
In 1853, while attending a legislative session in [[Jefferson City, Missouri]], Crow drafted an act of incorporation for an institution of higher education that would eventually become [[Washington University in St. Louis]]. Crow initially called the school Eliot Seminary to honor his friend William Greenleaf Eliot. Eliot had no knowledge of this plan and was surprised to be named one of the incorporators, along with Crow and fifteen members of their Unitarian congregation. In 1854, the school was renamed Washington Institute, and three years later, the state legislature incorporated the school as Washington University.<ref name=":1" /> Crow donated a substantial amount of money to the school for scholarships, a chair of physics, and more than two hundred thousand dollars worth of real estate.

In 1881, Crow also deeded the memorial he built upon the death of his son to the school as a fine arts school and museum.<ref name=":1" /> The building was dedicated as [[St. Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts]] and also called the Crow Memorial. The school educated two generations of St. Louis artists and craftspeople.<ref name=":2">((Cite web|url=http://cio.slpl.org/2016/03/31/the-st-louis-school-and-museum-of-fine-arts-wellspring-of-st-louis-arts/|title=The St. Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts – Wellspring of St. Louis Arts|last=St. Louis Public Library|website=St. Louis Public Library|access-date=September 30, 2016|archive-date=April 25, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160425142833/http://cio.slpl.org/2016/03/31/the-st-louis-school-and-museum-of-fine-arts-wellspring-of-st-louis-arts/|url-status=dead))</ref>

He continued his activities with the university and continued to be a member of the board of trustees until his death in 1885.

== Personal life ==
Crow married Isabella Conn in 1829. Isabella came from Union County, Kentucky. Isabella's sister married Crow's brother, Phillips Crow.<ref name=":1" /> Five of Wayman and Isabella's children lived to adulthood: Cornelia Carr, Mary Emmons, Emma Cushman, Wayman Crow Jr., and Isabella Kealhofer.<ref name=":1" />

[[Emma Crow|Emma Conn Crow]] was born in 1839 and died in 1920.<ref>[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~coddingtons/6985.htm Emma Conn Crow]</ref> Cornelia Louisa Crow Carr, was born in 1833 and died in 1922.<ref name=":0" /> The couple's son, Wayman Crow Jr., died in England in 1878. Wayman built a memorial in downtown St. Louis to honor his son when he died.<ref name=":1" /> Crow employed Boston architects [[Peabody and Stearns]] to design the three-story Renaissance/Romanesque building located at 19th and Lucas Place (now Locust Street).<ref name=":2" />  The building was razed in 1919.

== Later life and death ==
Wayman Crow died on May 10, 1885, and Isabella died in 1892.<ref name=":1" /> They are both buried at [[Bellefontaine Cemetery]].<ref name=":0" />
