Carlyle, Prof. John Bethune. "L". Born, 1859. Robeson County. He was graduated from Wake forest ~ollege and was from 1887 to 18YO Associate Pr~fessor of Latin and from 1a90 until his untimely death in 1911 he was full Professor of Latin. ·~nd wnat an inspiring teacner he wast Moreover he was deeply interested in pub­ lic affairs and often, as we recall, he shared witn his classes his insight into the meaning of current events. As a public speaker his personality cummanded attention and what he said provoked thought. Apart from the class roem, he ma.de to the denomination two inportant contributions. For the year 1908 he was President of the Ccnvention, following W.N.Jones of Raleigh and preceeding another layman, W.C.Dowd of Charlotte. Probably an even greater contribution was his work in increasing the endowment of Wake Forest. And said his biographer: "His splendid life will ever live in the memory of his associates and the denomination throughout the State". As a speaker he was a favorite among; tiLe students. and to this day we recall what he said to tnem upon the return of a victorious Debating Team. It was an honor to the team and a delight to the students • •, "With a bat and ball we often fall .", But in gas and brass we always pass". We must record another great contribution. To the Churches and to the denomi­ nation he left two able sons. Irving E. has long bee n a J talw·SL't in his Church and a m0st useful Trustee of Wake Forest for some twenty five years. and is, in 1965, serving his fifth term as President of the Board. His brother, named after his eather, was a us~ful and beloved physician of note in Burlington until .he died in 1951, age 51 years. See Wake Forest Student Feb. 1912, fur full account.

  • 1 Remembering Montreal As a Site Of
    1 Remembering Montreal as a Site of Transatlantic Slavery Charmaine A. Nelson Having lived in Montreal for many years, I often visited the historic neighbourhood of Old Montreal. As a scholar who studies Transatlantic Slavery, I found it to be full of ghosts. Old Montreal was Montreal at one time; the part of the city that was first settled by the French starting in the sixteenth century. In 1688 the colonial administrator Jean-Baptiste de Lagny (Sieur des Bringandières) petitioned the governor, Jacques-Réné de Brisay (Marquis de Denonville), to appeal to France for slaves.1 Already established trade routes between New France and several French-held Caribbean islands were cited as evidence of the feasibility of transportation. By the early eighteenth century, slavery continued to grow slowly to service the demand for domestics and field hands of the wealthier classes.2 By 1663, an aggressive new era of colony-building had ensued under King Louis XIV. Although hesitant about the ability of Africans to survive in the Canadian winters, the King was persuaded when local politicians extolled the success of slavery in New England as indicative of the resilience and adaptability of the African population. He gave his assent on 1 May 1689.3 Slavery in New France included the enslavement of people of African and Indigenous descent, a practice that the British continued after conquest with the renaming of the region as Quebec. Transatlantic Slavery transpired over the course of 400 years from the 1400’s to the 1800’s. The standard focus on the tropical or semi-tropical regions, has resulted in a fixation on mono-crop plantation economies where year-round agriculture resulted in the cultivation and exportation of crops like coffee, cotton, and sugar cane.

    Description and Finding Aid JOHN STRACHAN COLLECTION F2021 Prepared by Marion Magee 2010 John Strachan collection JOHN STRACHAN COLLECTION Dates of creation: [1778-1868] Extent: 2 m of textual records 4 artefacts Biographical sketch: John Strachan, Anglican clergyman, bishop, and educator, was born on 12 April 1778 at Aberdeen, Scotland, and died on 1 November 1867 in Toronto, Ontario. He attended Aberdeen Grammar School and King's College, Aberdeen, but turned to teaching after his father died in 1794. In the fall of 1796 Strachan returned to Aberdeen and graduated with an A.M. in March 1797. In 1799 Strachan accepted a teaching position in Upper Canada, arriving at Kingston on 31 December. He began tutoring the children of prominent townspeople, including those of Richard Cartwright. In 1803 Bishop Jacob Mountain ordained Strachan as a deacon, and he became a priest in 1804. He was given the mission at Cornwall, where he soon began taking students and set up a school. In 1807 he married Ann Wood McGill, the widow of Andrew McGill, a member of a prominent Montreal mercantile family, and they had nine children, James McGill, Elizabeth (died in infancy), George Cartwright, Elizabeth Mary, John, Alexander Wood, two daughters who died in infancy, and Agnes (who died at 16). In 1811 Strachan received an honorary D.D. from the University of Aberdeen (in 1829 he received an LL.D. from St Andrews University). The same year, he advised James McGill of Montreal to leave his extensive property to the cause of education; provisions were made that led to the founding of McGill University.

The Greek Relief Committee: America’s Response to the Greek Genocide (A Research Note) Nikolaos Hlamides London, UK In studies of the various relief efforts launched in response to the fate of Ottoman Christian minorities in the early twentieth century, much attention is given to the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief and, in particular, to its successors under different names, especially the Near East Relief. The role of other American-based aid organizations has been largely overlooked. This paper serves as an introduction to the Greek Relief Committee, a New York City–based organization that worked alongside other relief organizations from 1917 until 1921, administering aid to the Ottoman Greek population. Keywords: relief organization, Greek Genocide, American philanthropy The Relief Committee for Greeks of Asia Minor, or Greek Relief Committee (GRC), was an American relief organization formed during World War I in response to the genocide of Greeks in the Ottoman Empire.
