Frederic Augustus Juilliard

[1] He was born on 16 May 1868 to Charles Frederic Juilliard and his wife in San Leandro, California.

His paternal uncle was Augustus D. Juilliard, who from 1866 lived in New York City and worked in textile manufacturing and distribution.

A successful investor in banks, railroads and industry, he also became a patron of the arts.

Much of his uncle's estate was devoted to philanthropy, especially a major bequest to advance music in the United States, leading to the founding of The Juilliard School in 1924 in New York.

He died on June 29, 1937, at his home in Tuxedo Park, New York.
