    CJL L "1 fr\. U D U l"'l \I OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE AT AUBURN UNIVERSITY Sunny Slope Update Written by Bill Brown, OLLI Member Sunny Slope, an historic plantation home on South College that once faced the prospect of demolition, has a new purpose, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Auburn University has a new home. That happy circumstance can be credited largely to Ann B. Pearson, who bought and restored the home and made it available to the university. Parts of the house dates back to 1857. In one sense, Sunny Slope has come full circle. While owner William Flewellyn Samford pursued his political interests, his wife, Susan Dowdell Samford, conducted a school for girls at the home. Now it is home. to an organization providing learning opportunities for older adults. Built in 1857, Sunny Slope was located on a 2,500-acre plantation. It is a single story Greek Revival raised cottage originally consisting of only four rooms, modest in comparison to the grand antebellum mansions across the South. It sits well back from the road at 1031 South College Street, just south of the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. It was the childhood home of Gov. James Samford, for whom Samford Hall at Auburn University is named. The elder Samford was a newspaper editor, Methodist minister, teacher and politician. He was an ardent supporter of secession, and the 14th and 18th Regiments of Alabama Volunteers were formed at the home. The plantation was used as a camping ground for Confederate troops in 1861.

  • War Eagles: Auburn University's Tradition of Training Soldiers By
    War Eagles: Auburn University’s Tradition of Training Soldiers by Daniel Garrison McCall A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama May 4, 2014 Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, Army, Auburn University, Specialized Training Program, Summer Camp, Land-grant Copyright 2014 by Daniel McCall Approved by Mark Sheftall, Assistant Professor of History Charles Israel, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of History David Carter, Associate Professor of History Abstract As a land-grant university, Auburn University maintains a tradition of training American soldiers. Its Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) unit was once central to campus life, but in 1969 the university eliminated its mandatory ROTC program. Having offered a remarkable contribution to national defense, as a case study Auburn University Army ROTC embodies an exceptional microcosm for understanding how the United States government has prepared the Army to fight wars requiring mass mobilization. With the old model of cadet training based upon raising a mass army to fight wars in the industrial age and the new model based upon fighting wars with more powerful weaponry but fewer personnel in the modern age of science and technology, examining how these developments within the Army interrelate to the evolution of Auburn University Army ROTC provides an opportunity to consider the significance of how Auburn’s commitment as a land-grant university to supporting ROTC has remained constant, although the centrality of Army ROTC to campus life is dramatically different. ii Table of Contents Abstract ..............................................................................................................................

  • A Geographical Investigation of Football and Its Fans at Auburn University
    A Geographical Investigation of Football and its Fans at Auburn University by Orion Michael Stand-Gravois A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Orion Michael Stand-Gravois Approved by Philip Chaney, Chair, Associate Professor of Geology and Geography Tom Martinson, Emeritus Professor of Geology and Geography Gregory Kowalski, Professor of Sociology Abstract In Auburn, AL, football, and especially college football, reigns supreme. Particularly, interest is placed on the Tigers, the team representing the local institution, Auburn University. This research paper investigates the spatio-temporal role of football at Auburn University and presents findings that are indicative of the spatial characteristics of Auburn’s football fan region and their relationship with the team. Sources used to map Auburn’s fan region included records of 2010 season ticket holders and Auburn booster club locations and membership figures. The fans are predominantly found in Alabama and Georgia. Heavy concentrations are seen in Auburn, as well as major urban centers with close proximity to Auburn such as Atlanta, Birmingham, and Montgomery. Questionnaire surveys of Auburn fans found that the majority of participants had attended Auburn and/or had family members who had attended Auburn. Fans commonly mentioned words like family, tradition, and atmosphere when describing why they liked Auburn Tigers football. ii Acknowledgments First and foremost I offer my sincerest gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Philip Chaney, who has shown unwavering confidence and support in my work throughout the entire process.
