  • We Remember Them
    We Remember Them september 2019 yale university We Remember Them Included in these pages are remembrances written about our First Women classmates who have died since we arrived at Yale in September 1969. Reading about the lives they lived and the people and communities they touched is humbling. Remembering shared experiences from our days together at Yale and in the years after is bittersweet. Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who make the journey with us. So be swift to love and make haste to be kind. Jane Curtis ’73 by Lawrie Mifflin ’73 Jane had a wonderful smile, one that stretched into almost- dimples and made you eager to conspire with her. She first flashed it my way when we were 18, in the summer of 1969, at a fancy Philadelphia Yale Club reception for students newly admitted to Yale. Jane and I might have been the only girls in the room; I can’t remember. But I do remember we had two things in common—we were both Quakers, and we both loved to play field hockey—and we felt relieved to know that when we got to New Haven and Vanderbilt Hall, at least we’d have one sure friend. Little did we know that our field hockey bond would lead us to make Yale history. When we tried to find out how to join the Yale team, we learned there wasn’t one. Nor were there any teams, or even plans for teams, in any sport for women.

No American family can proclaim a n1ore distin­ guished or more ancient lineage than the l\tontgom­ erys. The founder of the line in America, William Montgomerie, settled in East Jersey in 1701-02, but the pedigree is easily traceable many generations back of that period; indeed, fully a thousand years beyond the present year of grace. The earliest record of the family extend to Roger de Montgomerie, a native of Neustria, who was °Count of Montgomerie before coming of Rollo" in 912. Though of French extraction the Montgomeries thus became absorbed in and assimilated with the Norman dynasty, which was established by Duke Rollo, fol­ lowing his descent upon and capture of that section of the domain of Charles the Simple.

  • Mormonism's Worldwide Aspirations and Its Changing Conceptions of Race and Lineage
    Mormonism's Worldwide Aspirations and its Changing Conceptions of Race and Lineage Armand L. Mauss Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.. .And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. -Apostle Paul to the Galatians 3:7, 29. MORMON HISTORY CONTAINS ITS FAIR SHARE of ironies and unintended con- sequences. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began with a mission to restore the ancient church, but not for everyone at the same time. In its earliest days, the church was preoccupied with its mission to seek out the descendants of Abraham through Jacob or Israel; these Is- raelites, in turn, would prepare the world for the millennial reign of the Messiah. The first to be so identified were the Lamanites, known to other Americans as the aboriginal Indians, but believed by the Latter- day Saints to be descendants of the ancient Joseph, son of Jacob (Israel). Next came the Anglo-Israelites, otherwise called "Mormons," who were thought to be descendants of Joseph through his son Ephraim. The church thus appeared at first as an exclusive, particularistic sect, not only claiming to be the sole authentically Christian church, but also seeking its converts primarily from certain lineages. This is the story of how such a provincial-even tribal-movement was gradually trans- formed into a universal religion in which lineage of all kinds became es- sentially irrelevant.1 1This account is given with much greater detail and documentation in my forthcom- ing book tentatively entitled, All Abraham's Children: Changing LDS Conceptions of Lineage and Race (unpublished manuscript under editorial review by publishers).

  • The Controversy Surrounding Bewitched and Harry Potter Natalie
    Georgia Institute of Technology Which Witch? The Controversy Surrounding Bewitched and Harry Potter Natalie F. Turbiville Department of History, Technology, and Society Georgia Institute of Technology Undergraduate Thesis Friday, April 25, 2008 Advisor: Dr. Douglas Flamming Second Reader: Dr. August Giebelhaus 2 Abstract Beginning in 1999, J.K. Rowling began to receive criticism about her Harry Potter series, which was first published in 1997. Christian Fundamentalists in opposition to the books argued that occult themes present in the series were harmful to the spiritual development of children. Those in opposition cited the negative response to the popular TV series Bewitched during its initial airing in the 1960s as grounds for rejecting Harry Potter . This connection was made because the popular television series and the successful book series both contained witchcraft elements; however, this connection is false. Primary sources show that Bewitched was not challenged based on the issue of witchcraft during its initial airing in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite modern Christian fundamentalists’ claims, the modern negative response to Bewitched is built on contemporary reflection. When Christian fundamentalists seek to prove that their outcry against the witchcraft used in Harry Potter is not unique it is suggested that America had rejected a form of media based on witchcraft when the public spoke out against Bewitched in the 1960s. In fact, the claim that Bewitched received criticism during its initial airing is incorrect. My research shows a direct contemporary correlation between the protest to Harry Potter beginning in 1999 and the rejection of Bewitched by Christian fundamentalists based on the issue of witchcraft.

  • One of the Great Strengths of the Church of Jesus Christ Of
    A Firm Foundation David J. Whittaker 28 Mormon Administrative and Organizational History: A Source Essay ne of the great strengths of The Church of Jesus Christ of O Latter-day Saints is its institutional vitality. Expanding from six members in 1830 to fourteen million in 2010, its capacity to govern and manage an ever-enlarging membership with a bureaucracy flexible enough to provide for communication and growth but tight enough to ensure control and stability is an important but little-known story. The essential functions of the Church were doctrinally mandated from its earliest years, and the commands to keep records have assured that accounts of its activities have been maintained. Such historical records created the essential informational basis necessary to run the institu- tion. These records range from membership to financial to the institu- tional records of the various units of the Church, from the First Presi- dency to branches in the mission field. David J. Whittaker is the curator of Western and Mormon Manuscripts, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, and associate professor of history at Brigham Young University. A Firm Foundation The study of Latter-day Saint ecclesiology has been a challenge until recently. As yet, the best studies remain in scholarly monographs, often unknown or unavailable. It is the purpose of this essay to highlight this emerging literature by complementing the essays assembled in this volume.

    ELIZABETH KECKLEY Keckley was born into slavery in 1818 in Virginia. As a young girl, she was sent to work for various members of her owner’s family in Virginia, North Carolina, and Missouri, suffering harsh treatment and rape that resulted in her becoming pregnant at age fourteen. By 1847 she was working for the Garland family in St. Louis. Facing financial difficulties, the Garlands became dependent on Keckley’s talents as a dressmaker to rise out of debt. Her reputation for fine-quality clothing grew, and after a few years she was able to earn enough money to purchase her freedom. In 1860 Keckley moved to Baltimore and then settled in Washington, DC, where she quickly and astutely set up shop, completing commissions for Mrs. Robert E. Lee and Mrs. Jefferson Davis. Within a year, she was recommended to Mary Todd Lincoln, who had just arrived at the capital. The two women immediately hit it off, and Keckley became the official White House modiste and confidant of Mrs. Lincoln while still maintaining her shop. In 1868 Keckley published Behind the Scenes: or, Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House, considered one of the most candid and poignant of narratives of an enslaved person. The book included details about the Lincoln family that, while never disputed, were considered controversial, and Keckley was forced to leave the capital.
