Now that our work is completed and ready to go before the criticising eye of the public, we become painfully aware that in spite of the time spent and trouble taken, "we have left undone many things that we ought to. have done," and that the pages of our Annual reflect but faintly· and imperfectly the life at College and the many happenings of greater or less importance that have made. this the most interesting and eventful year of our college course. We have endeavored to make the twenty-fifth volume of the "Echo" have one feature to which we would respectfully call the attention of our critics, and that is originality. The senseless pages of "grinds" have been omitted; to the Geneva young lady we have by our silence said, "requiescat in pace; " those monuments of the past, the cuts used by the previous Echo editors, have been presimted to the new museum, and original electrotypes have been used throughout. 'rhe engraving of the buildings will, we trust, be of interest to the Alumni and other frjends of the College. :May it inspire them to add another Hall to the .. Row" for the accommodation of the rapidly increasing number of students. The past year has been of unusnal interest to Hobart and her fI'iends. Within the short twelve months the handsome new Library has beeu erected; the old Middle Building, hallowed by so many tender recollections of English recitations, has become a heap of smouldering ruins; the 9 f .1~>1 long desired Gymnasium has become a certainty; the largest Freshman .class for -some years has entered; a learned and popular gentleman has been added to the l!'aculty; athletics have again taken their old place as a feature of the student life, and many other events of the greatest interest have transpired. If by the publication of our Annual the warm class feeling, that has always characterized Eighty-seven has been increased, and Wft have been brought more and nearer together, in spite of its many shod-comings and weaknesses, we will consider our " Echo" a success; and it is with that hope that we • resign our place as Echo editors to the class of Eighty-eight.

Ed ****** The Ohio State University 1967 Approved by Adviser Department of Physical Education PREFACE As a participant, student, and teacher of physical education and athletics, and as a person reared in a Protestant environment and undoubtedly Influenced by the so-called ’’Protestant ethic," the writer has been intrigued by the relationship, positive and negative, between these two areas of life. The present study has afforded the writer the opportunity to utilize his interest in these areas. The satisfac­ tion of increasing his own knowledge of this subject has been equalled only by the desire to make a significant contribution to contemporary America's understanding of its social heritage. With the completion of this work, the writer's first objective has been met. The success of the latter will be known in time. A study of this magnitude necessitates no small amount of aid and cooperation from others. The writer therefore wishes to acknow­ ledge his indebtedness and extend his appreciation to all who contri­ buted to its successful completion. ii VITA July 18, 1939 Born - Detroit, Michigan June, 1961 .

    From Revelation to Reason to Intuition to Freedom: the Development of Unitarianism in America—A Local Perspective by Mark W

    From Revelation to Reason to Intuition to Freedom: The Development of Unitarianism in America—A Local Perspective by Mark W. Harris A paper given at the Reasonable World Conference on September 18, 2011 in San Diego, CA A revolution had been simmering in the Standing Order of Congregational Churches of Massachusetts ever since the Great Awakening of the 1740’s stirred the revival spirit in some latter day Puritans. Many congregations that opposed the revival for its emotional style and anti-establishment fervor were led by Harvard educated clergy who were called Arminians, a label indicating a theology focused on people’s moral choices, as well as God’s grace. These Arminians believed that humans had God given abilities to ensure their personal salvation, rather than be subject to the inscrutable decisions of an all-powerful sovereign. They rejected original sin and predestination, embraced a benevolent God, and many doubted the complete divinity of Jesus. Yet most of them did not want to upset the establishment applecart, refusing to publicly avow their burgeoning Unitarianism. By 1805 some of the Calvinists rejected this mixing of liberals and orthodox within the Congregational Churches, and found an occasion to voice their public displeasure when Harvard College elected Henry Ware as its new professor of divinity. On a local level, the Calvinist Congregationalists’ unwillingness to be grouped with their heretical cousins had already become apparent by the increasingly sectarian nature of participation in church councils, ministerial exchanges, and church membership practices. The liberals found a leader in William Ellery Channing, who preached a denominational manifesto, Unitarian Christianity in 1819.

The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.
  • The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853

    The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853

    The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853 By the Reverend Robert Semple Bosher, Ph.D. Evanston, Illinois: Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, 1962 I In John Dryden’s poem The Hind and the Panther, there is a passage that ridicules the Church of England for her friendless isolation in Christendom: “Thus, like a creature of a double kind, In her own labyrinth she lives confined; To foreign lands no sound of her is come, Humbly content to be despised at home.” But a century and a half later, we find John Henry Newman quoting those same lines, and asserting: “That day of rebuke is passed. That which is fruitful lives; the English Church, the desolate one, has children . This is our own special rejoicing in our American relations; we see our own faces reflected back to us in them, and we know that we live. We have proof that the Church, of which we are, is not the mere creation of the State, but has an independent life, with a kind of her own, and fruit after her own kind. Men do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles; the stream does not rise higher than the spring; if her daughter can be, though the State does not protect, the mother too could bear to be deserted by it ... The American Church is our pride as well as our consolation.”1 The special role of the American Church in the evolution of modern Anglicanism has not been fully recognized, largely because the history of the Anglican Communion has not yet been written.

    Pennsylvania Institutes Religious Liberty, 1682-1860

    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Pennsylvania Institutes Religious Libertyy 1682-1860 HE PENNSYLVANIA TRADITIONS of religious liberty show a remarkable continuity from the 1680s until the Civil War, T a pattern best exemplified by institutional history. Indeed, by focusing on the colonial assembly, state legislature, courts, laws, con- stitutions, and institutional church as they defined religious liberty over time, it becomes apparent that in Pennsylvania the politicians and the churches—both clergy and laity—fell in love with freedom of religion early in the eighteenth century, and that the essential outlines of Pennsylvania's nineteenth-century pattern emerged before the Great Awakening. To be sure, because policy was made on an ad hoc basis, no one pattern of church and state, no consistent pattern of strict neutrality or accommodation, marked the Pennsylvania ex- perience either before or after 1776. Modifications in the concept and practice of religious liberty occurred, and the ideology of repub- licanism forced rethinking.1 Still, with the major exception of pacifism, An early version of this article was presented as the first Commonwealth lecture in Harrisburg. The author wishes to acknowledge the help provided by Jane Thorson, Albert Fowler, and the participants in the seminar of the Transformation of Philadelphia Project. 1 Thomas Curry, The First Freedoms: Church and State in America to the Passage of the First Amendment (New York, 1986), discusses all the colonies, but devotes only cursory attention to Pennsylvania. For the larger literature on religious liberty in early America, see William McLoughlin, New England Dissent, 1630-1833 (2 vols., Cambridge, 1971); Richard Bush- man, From Puritan to Yankee: Character and Social Order in Connecticut, 1680-1760 (Cam- bridge, 1971); Thomas Buckley, Church and State in Revolutionary Virginia, 1776-1787 (Charlottesville, 1977); Alan Heimert, Religion and the American Mind from the Great THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY Vol.

The College Library contains perfect copies of every item in the list with the exception of the first; that it possesses only in facsimile and reprint. The size of each pamphlet is given in the notation adopted by the American Library Association. Thus, so indicates that the outside height of the copy in the College Library is between twenty and twenty-five centi· meters. The size symbol in parenthesis (40) shows the actual fold of the printed sheet as ascertained from the signatures.
