Lincoln Committee Members, Bryan R. Cole L. Murphy Smith Toby M. Egan Head of Department, Mary Alford August 2009 Major Subject: Educational Administration iii ABSTRACT The George Bush Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University. (August 2009) Julia Susan Frink, B.A., California State University Northridge; M.S., Tarleton State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Yvonna S. Lincoln This was the first comprehensive doctoral dissertation on the George Bush Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University. The Bush Presidential Library and Museum was the focal point. The purpose was to describe the global significance, work and educational contributions of the Bush Presidential Library while exploring its partnership with Texas A&M University. The primary data sources were: archival records, museum exhibits, interviews and my field work experiences. Beyond being a descriptive dissertation, this study offered unique hypotheses and conclusions. It examined the higher educational aspects of the Bush Presidential Library Center’s operating context within Texas A&M University. These included the educational value of George Bush’s career, the Bush Presidential Library’s contents, and its benefits and technology use in educational programming. This study answered two unique hypotheses: how President Bush’s liberation of Kuwait increased the Middle Eastern funding of presidential libraries and the Corps of Cadets’ influence on President Bush’s selection of Texas A&M University. George Bush’s global presidency, distinguished international public service career and his world-changing, historical presidential achievements gave the Bush Presidential Library and Museum an extraordinary educational value. The data showed the educational value of, benefits of and technology’s role in educational programming at the Bush Presidential Library and Museum. The global changes mirrored President Bush’s career and his effort to combat terrorism. China’s emergence as a world power was attributed to President Bush’s career. The Bush Presidential Library and Museum is the core asset of the center. The data showed President Bush’s liberation of Kuwait iv directly influenced the funding of his presidential library and the subsequent ones. The data showed the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets’ influence on President Bush’s selection of Texas A&M University as the site for his presidential library. Texas A&M University is the best place for the George Bush Presidential Library Center. A university environment is the best place to host a presidential library. v DEDICATION To my devoted parents, Attila and Zsuzsa Frink They have given unselfishly of their love, time and resources.

  • William Seward and the Trent Affair
    William Seward and the Trent Affair http://civilwar150.longwood.edu In late December, 1861, the Trent Affair continued to dominate national and international news, with President Lincoln and his secretary of state, William Seward, both playing major roles in ending the controversy. Born in Orange County, New York in 1801, William H. Seward was one of the most prominent anti-slavery politicians of the mid-1800s, first as a Whig and then as a Republican. He had studied law at Union College in 1820 and within a few years entered the world of politics. Starting in 1830, Seward served in the New York state senate, and in 1838 he became governor of New York for the first of two terms. Even though Seward was born into a slave owning family, his abolitionist stance made him well known and in 1849 and 1855 he was elected to the U.S. Senate. In the aftermath of the Compromise of 1850 he had gained prominence for his “Higher Law” speech opposing the expansion of slavery. Seward hoped to obtain the Republican nomination for president in 1860, and was disappointed when the party chose Abraham Lincoln as its standard bearer. After Lincoln won the presidential election, Seward accepted the position of Secretary of State, hoping he could influence the less- experienced president. Seward and Lincoln clashed over various issues during the early months of the administration, but he eventually developed into an able and loyal cabinet member. In early November 1861, Captain Charles Wilkes of the U.S.S. San Jacinto had seized Confederate diplomats James Mason and John Slidell from British ship Trent.

The unclassified papers cover topics ranging from the sinking of the Russian nuclear submarine Koursk in August 2000 to the role Israel played in supplying high technology and weaponry to India. “This new donation of material will give historians a clearer understanding of today’s international events and relationships,” said Robert Bohanan, Deputy Director of the Carter Presidential Library. Researchers will gain a better knowledge of Afghanistan today after reading Dean’s papers beginning in the late 1980’s on U.S. involvement in setting a timetable for Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. In addition, Ambassador Dean’s materials provide new insights on India’s relationship with Russia and Israel. John Gunther Dean served as U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia, Denmark, Lebanon, Thailand, and India during a Foreign Service career that stretched from 1956 to 1989. This new donation of papers to the Carter Presidential Library is designed to supplement the many confidential papers Dean donated to the Carter Library last year. Documents in the first donation cover the Ambassador’s service from 1967 to 1977 and have been declassified.

Korean people tried in many ways to establish their own libraries in 20th century. Many library thinkers, intellectuals, and librarians have struggled to build 1 modern libraries in communities or nationwide. Although Korea has a brilliant history of record and print, it has been so hard to establish libraries for the Korean people during last century. The Korean libraries have endured hardships such as Japanese colonialism, Korean War, and military dictatorship. This paper examines the Korean people’s efforts to establish libraries, and it looks into the history of library movement in Korea. And also this paper introduces the recent reading campaigns such as ‘Bookstart’, ‘One Book One City’. With historical lessons suggested in this paper, people may have some insight to make and develop libraries in Korea. 2 1. Introduction Korean public libraries in the 20th Century grew by undergoing history of formidable obstacles.
