  • The Struggles of a Mathematician and His University to Enter the Ranks of Research Mathematics, 1870–1950
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Historia Mathematica 34 (2007) 271–288 www.elsevier.com/locate/yhmat Straddling centuries: The struggles of a mathematician and his university to enter the ranks of research mathematics, 1870–1950 David E. Zitarelli ∗ Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA Abstract This paper weaves two interlocking histories together. One strand of the fabric traces the development of the American mathe- matician Joseph B. Reynolds from a peripheral player to an active contributor to mathematics, astronomy, and engineering and to the founding of a sectional association of mathematicians. The other piece describes the evolution of his institution, Lehigh Uni- versity, from its founding in 1865 to a full-fledged research department that began producing doctorates in 1939. Both Reynolds and Lehigh straddled the line between the pre- and post-Chicago eras in American mathematics. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden zwei ineinander greifend Geschichten dargestellt. Einen Teil der verflochtenen Geschichte bildet die Entwicklung des amerikanischen Mathematikers Joseph B. Reynolds von einer Randerscheinung sowohl zu einem aktiven Autor mathematischer und astronomischer Arbeiten sowie solcher aus den Ingenieurswissenschaften als auch zu einem Begründer einer sektionalen mathematischen Gesellschaft. Der andere Teil der Geschichte betrifft die Gründung seiner akademischen Einrichtung, der Lehigh University, von ihrer Gründung 1865 bis zu einer reifen Forschungsabteilung in den 1939 Jahre Promotionen aufweisen konnte. Sowohl Reynolds als auch die Lehigh University können als Scharnier zwischen der Vor- und Nach-Chicagoer Ära in der amerikanischen Mathematik betrachtet werden.

  • Lehigh History Chronology
    History of Lehigh University 1864-1993 HISTORY OF LEHIGH UNIVERSITY 1864-1993 1864 The honorable Asa Packer of Mauch Chunk called on Rt. Rev. William B. Stevens, D.D., Bishop of Pennsylvania, at his home in Philadelphia and, unsolicited, told the Bishop he desired to give $500,000.00 for the purpose of founding an educational institution in the Lehigh Valley, and asked the Bishop's help in devising a plan to carry out his purpose. 1865 Mr. Packer appointed a provisional board of trustees consisting of himself, Robert H. Sayre, Robert A. Packer, and Bishop Stevens as chairman. On July 27, 1865, while Mr. Packer himself was abroad, the remaining group met in the Old Sun Inn in Bethlehem and began to make plans. After considering various other sites, Mr. Packer selected and gave a plot of fifty-six acres in the then South Bethlehem as a location for the proposed institution. On November 4, 1865, Henry Coppee, M.A., University of Georgia, 1848, was elected first president. President Coppee had been a student at Yale for two years and had graduated from West Point in 1845. He had also served as an officer and assistant professor at West Point, and as professor of English literature at the University of Pennsylvania. 1866 On the ninth day of February, 1866, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the honorable A. G. Curtin, Page 1 of 169 History of Lehigh University 1864-1993 signed an act of assembly "TO ERECT AND ESTABLISH, AT, OR NEAR, THE BOROUGH OF SOUTH BETHLEHEM, IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, A POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE, FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUTH, OF THE NAME, STYLE, AND TITLE OF THE LEHIGH UNIVERSITY."

    The Late Hon. Asa Packer, Founder of Lehigh University. THE LEHIGH UNIVERSITY A HISTORICAL SKETCH. BY EDMUND M. HYDE, PH.D., L.H.D., PROFESSOR IN LEHIGH UNIVERSITY. SOUTH BETHLEHEM, PA. 1896. THIS outline of the History of The Lehigh Uni­ versity and of the various activities of its students was prepared for the Class-Book issued by the Class of 1896, and has been published separately at the request of the Alumni. DAVID HALL, '96. The Late Henry Coppee, LL.D., First President of Lehigh University. EHIGH UNIVERSITY, like so many of our American institutions, L owes its inception and its endowment to the open-handed bene­ factions of one who saw the needs of his State and with noble generosity endeavored to supply the means for meeting them. He had lived for many years in the beautiful valley of the Lehigh, and had been actively engaged in the development of its wonderful mining and industrial resources. He desired to contribute still further to its progress by afford­ ing to its young men better opportunities for fitting themselves to carry on the work in which he felt such a lively interest. It will not be amiss to touch upon the principal facts regarding his career. The Hon. Asa Packer was born at Groton, New London County, Connecticut, on the 29th of December, 1805. His father's means were slender, and when a mere boy he was obliged to do something for his own maintenance. But the occupations open to him at his home did not promise enough for his enterprising spirit.

    Gladstone, Religion, Politics and America: Perceptions in the Press, 1868 – 1900 Stephen J. Peterson Department of History and Politics School of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 28 March 2013 ii I, Stephen J. Peterson, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. iii Acknowledgements Grateful acknowledgement is extended first to the University of Stirling for its flexibility and accommodation of foreign graduate research students. I also wish to recognise the University of Oklahoma for providing public access to visiting scholars, a benefit which has allowed me to access the abundant electronic resources that made this project possible. My heartfelt thanks are extended to Professor David Bebbington, my supervising professor, who has been infinitely patient in mentoring me. His wisdom and attention to detail have been of inestimable value in guiding my research. Finally, my utmost thanks and appreciation is reserved for my wife Debbie, who has been a constant source of encouragement and support throughout the project. The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without her. iv Abstract This thesis examines American perceptions of William Ewart Gladstone in the religious and secular press from 1868 to 1900. The scope of the study encompasses his role as a Christian apologist and his engagement in public affairs where religion and politics converged. The opinions of Americans are examined in the general categories of evangelicals, Roman Catholics, secular news organs and to a lesser extent Unitarians and agnostics.
