Our ceremony today continues the tradition, begun more than two centuries ago, of convening the University community to honor our graduates and celebrate their many achievements in their time at UVM. Our graduates have much to be proud of as they stand among their peers today. Each one has reached for this education and for this moment of completion. Each graduate has strived for the learning, the knowledge, the new ways of seeing and perceiving that have come from immersive study in the living laboratory of UVM. In every way, the Class of 2018 has excelled, showing themselves to be leaders and learners in the long tradition of engaged citizenship for which UVM is known. Graduates, today we celebrate you—all that you have accomplished and all that is to come as you take this spirit of active and engaged learning out into the world. Each of you will forever be a part of the UVM community and will always be welcomed home here. I hope you will remain active in our community that you have so helped to shape in your time at UVM.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts NATURE AND THE NEW SOUTH: COMPETING VISIONS OF RESOURCE USE IN A DEVELOPING REGION, 1865-1929 A Dissertation in History by William D. Bryan 2013 William D. Bryan Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 The dissertation of William D. Bryan was reviewed and approved* by the following: William A. Blair Liberal Arts Professor of American History Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Mark E. Neely McCabe Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Solsiree Del Moral Assistant Professor of History Robert Burkholder Associate Professor of English Adam Rome Associate Professor of History and English The University of Delaware Special Member David G. Atwill Director of Graduate Studies in History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines conflicting visions for natural resource use and economic development in the American South in the years between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Great Depression. Emancipation toppled the region’s economy and led many Southerners to try to establish a “New South” to replace their antebellum plantation society. Their task was unprecedented, and necessitated completely reimagining the economic structure of the entire region. Although most Southerners believed that the region was blessed with abundant natural resources, there were many competing ideas about how these resources should be used in order to achieve prosperity. By examining how these different visions shaped New South economic development, this dissertation reconsiders a longstanding interpretation of the postbellum American South, and provides a fresh historical perspective on the challenges of sustainable development in underdeveloped places worldwide.

  • George P. Marsh, Man and Nature (1864)1
    AMERICAN POLITICAL THOUGHT Keith E. Whittington Supplementary Material Chapter 6: Civil War and Reconstruction – Citizenship and Community George P. Marsh, Man and Nature (1864)1 George Perkins Marsh was born in 1801 to a Vermont lawyer. After graduating from Dartmouth College, he briefly pursued an academic career as a linguist before taking up his father’s occupation. After the death of his first wife, he turned to politics and won a seat as a Whig first in the statehouse and then in Congress. He was appointed to diplomatic posts in Turkey and Italy and turned his attention to more scholarly pursuits, including his most important work on the effect of human action on the environment. His advocacy of conservationism and warnings against careless land management helped spur the establishment of Arbor Day and forest reserves in the United States and beyond. [I]t is certain that man has done much to mould the form of the earth’s surface, though we cannot always distinguish between the results of his action and the effects of purely geological causes; that the destruction of the forests, the drainage of lakes and marshes, and the operations of rural husbandry and industrial art have tended to produce great changes in the hygrometric, thermometric, electric, and chemical condition of the atmosphere, though we are not yet able to measure the force of the different elements of disturbance, or to say how far they have been compensated by each other, or by still obscurer influences; and, finally, that the myriad forms of animal and vegetable life, which covered the earth when man first entered upon the theatre of a nature whose harmonies he was destined to derange, have been, through his action, greatly changed in numerical proportion, sometimes modified in form and product, and sometimes entirely extirpated.

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

  • Edward Joy Morris (1861-1870)
    PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S MINISTER RESIDENT TO THE SUBLIME PORTE: EDWARD JOY MORRIS (1861-1870) I When President Abraham Lincoln designated Congressman Edward Joy Morris, of Philadelphia, to serve as his Minister Resident in Constan­ tinople on June 8, 1861, he apparently knew something of what he was doing. Mr. Morris had not only served a number of terms in the United States House of Representatives, to say nothinG of the Pennsylvania State Legislature, he had already had experience in diplomacy, as the American Chargé d’ Af­ faires in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1850-1853), and had traveled widely in Europe and the Middle East.1 He had also written and translated a number of books, in addition to writing for various magazines and journals. Yet Morris remains a somewhat neglected and even forgotten American di­ plomatist who served his country with distinction in time of trouble on the periphery of American interest.2 He was to remain in touch with the Sub­ lime Porte throughout the American Civil War during the Johnson Adminis­ tration which followed, and the early part of the Grant period. DurinG his more than nine years in Constantinople he handled problems which were 1. Morris was born in Philadelphia on July 16, 1815 and died there on December 31, 1881. He entered the University of Pennsylvania in the class of 1835, but transferred to Harvard, from which he was graduated in the class of 1836. Admitted to the bar in 1842, he served in the Pennsylvania Legislature during 1841-1843, and was a Whig representative in the 28th^ Congress (1843-1845), but failed of re-election.

  • In Italy with Mr. and Mrs. George Perkins Marsh by TOM DANIELS
    SUMMER 1979 VOL. 47, NO.3 History The CPROCEEDINGS of the VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY "I had always heard of Mr. Marsh as a cold man, but I have seldom been addressed with words containing sympathy and cordial sentiment like those with which he spoke...." In Italy with Mr. and Mrs. George Perkins Marsh By TOM DANIELS In 1861 Vennont's elder statesman, George Perkins Marsh, was ap­ pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the new Kingdom of Italy. "A native of Woodstock, Marsh had served as a member of Vermont's Congressional delegation (1843-1848) and as the United States Minister to Turkey (1848­ 1854). When not occupied practicing law or by a variety of business ventures, Marsh devoted himself to study. A leading scholar of his day and an accomplished linguist, Marsh spoke a dozen languages fluently and wrote books on a wide range of topics including architecture, language and agriculture. He is best remembered for his pioneering and perceptive study of ecology, Man and Nature. I Accompanied by his second wife, Caroline Crane Marsh, George Perkins Marsh remained in Italy until his death in 1882. His position as minister coincided with the age of the Grand Tour when wealthy Americans swarmed to Europe to soak up the culture of the Old World. Rome especially attracted the "innocent" tourists as well as scores of aspiring sculptors and painters, and Marsh found himself, in effect, operating a travel agency, finishing school, salon, and embassy. In November, 1873, Mrs. Cornelia Underwood of Burlington arrived in Rome accompanied by her four children (Cornelia, fourteen; Levi, twelve; Violet, seven; and Tom, four).

  • Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 73- 26,788
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs' if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
