  • The Influence of American Discourse on the Mission to Armenia
    SWAYED BY HEADLINES OR HARDENED BY EXPERIENCE? THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN DISCOURSE ON THE MISSION TO ARMENIA Rosanne M. Horswill A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts degree in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Sarah Shields Cemil Aydin Wayne E. Lee ©2020 Rosanne M. Horswill ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rosanne M. Horswill: Swayed by Headlines or Hardened by Experience? The Influence of American Discourse on the Mission to Armenia (Under the direction of Professor Sarah Shields) In August 1919, President Wilson commissioned the American Military Mission to Armenia to investigate the post-World War I situation in Anatolia and report recommendations to Congress on potential American responsibilities in the region. The President expected the final report, composed by Major General James Harbord, to present impartial observations consistent with the dispassionate language characteristic of military prose. This would have allowed Congress to base its decisions on military judgements rather than on existing partisan reports which favored diplomatic or humanitarian agendas. Though Harbord’s report predominately exhibited the institutional style he adopted as an officer and reflected a hardened worldview shaped over his thirty-year career, his lifetime exposure to American media narratives on Armenians was indelibly present as well. Examining Harbord’s sources reveals that he had absorbed competing public and military narratives that needed reconciliation in his report. I analyzed 23,399 articles from American newspapers, alongside pamphlets published by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and diplomatic reports produced by the Inquiry, to trace discursive trends on Armenians as they evolved in the United States.

PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN MISSIONS, RACE AND EMPIRE: THE WORLD MISSIONARY CONFERENCE OF 1910, EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND by KIM SANECKI Under the Direction of Ian Fletcher ABSTRACT This thesis explores prevailing and changing attitudes among Protestant Christians as manifested in the World Missionary Conference of 1910, held in Edinburgh, Scotland. It compares the conference to missionary literature to demonstrate how well it fit the context of the missionary endeavor during the Edwardian era. It examines the issues of race and empire in the thinking of conference participants. It pays particular attention to the position of West Africa and West Africans in conference deliberations. It suggests that the conference, which took place soon after the scramble for empire and just before World War I and the subsequent upsurge of nationalism and anti-colonialism, offers a valuable historical perspective on the uneven nature of globalizing Christianity.

    AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES GUIDE TO SERIES I-B-1: GENERAL RECORDS. LETTERBOOKS. BOUND LETTERBOOKS. VOLUME 14, 1909-1911 Archives American Academy of Arts and Sciences 136 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 © 2015 American Academy of Arts and Sciences Updated: 19 April 2016 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ARCHIVES Series I-B-1: General records. Letterbooks. Bound letterbooks. Volume 14, 1909-1911 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Historical Note The Academy has received letters, announcements, and other forms of correspondence since the founding in 1780. All such correspondence was the responsibility of the Corresponding Secretary, one of the original officers of the Academy. Beginning sometime in the late 1800s, incoming letters were pasted into bound scrapbooks, which the Academy referred to as “letterbooks.” This practice continued until 1988, when staff began saving correspondence in folders. For the time period covered by Volume 14, the President of the Academy was John Trowbridge (1908-1915). The Corresponding Secretary was Edwin Herbert Hall (1904-1915). Scope and Content The series of letterbooks in its entirety includes letters from newly-elected Fellows, formally accepting their elections; communications with other learned societies (especially, invitations to attend meetings or send representatives to official events, and offers to exchange publications); correspondence concerning gifts of books, maps, and natural history specimens; and inquiries from members and non- members regarding the submission and publication of articles. Volume 14 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy from 1909 to 1911. The majority of this incoming correspondence pertains to the election, resignation, and death of members, most notably Woodrow Wilson’s letter acknowledging election to the Academy prior to his taking office as President of the United States in 1913.
