George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

  • Simsbury Free Library Quarterly Volume 21 Issue 4 Spring-Summer 2015
    Simsbury Free Library Quarterly Volume 21 Issue 4 Spring-Summer 2015 The Neighborhood House in Weatogue Part 2: Antecedents in the Work of Weatogue’s Three Ministers The preceding part of this article dealt with the founding of Weatogue’s Neighborhood House in 1905, the moving and refurbishing of the donated building and a sampling of the dinners and cultural programs given in the house. This second part will explore some of the events that preceded the founding of this institution, which was dedicated to the wellbeing of all residents of the community and town. In the early twentieth century, the Weatogue section of the town of Simsbury was fertile ground for the planting of an institution that had for its mission the assimilation of recent immigrants and the betterment of society's less fortunate peoples. Rev. Charles Pitman Croft and his wife Julia Mather Croft were the prime movers behind this effort, but they were substantially aided by many in Simsbury who had generous natures and either time or money to be of help. It was particularly fortunate that there were two other Protestant ministers living in close proximity, who, like Rev. Croft, were not pastors of any church, and who helped each other in their chosen civic projects. These were the Reverends Horace Winslow and D. Stuart Dodge and they arrived in Weatogue and Bushy Hill, respectively, in the early 1880s. Rev. Horace Winslow (1814-1905) was the eldest. Born in Massachusetts, he earned his Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, and attended the Theological Seminary at Auburn and the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

  • The Antietam Manuscript of Ezra Ayres Carman
    General Ezra Ayres Carman The Antietam Manuscript of Ezra Ayres Carman "Ezra Ayres Carman was Lt. Colonel of the 7th Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers during the Civil War. He volunteered at Newark, NJ on 3 Sept 1861, and was honorably discharged at Newark on 8 Jul 1862 (This discharge was to accommodate his taking command of another Regiment). Wounded in the line of duty at Williamsburg, Virginia on 5 May 1862 by a gunshot wound to his right arm in action. He also served as Colonel of the 13th Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers from 5 August 1862 to 5 June 1865. He was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General." "Ezra Ayes Carman was Chief Clerk of the United States Department of Agriculture from 1877 to 1885. He served on the Antietam Battlefield Board from 1894 to 1898 and he is acknowledged as probably the leading authority on that battle . In 1905 he was appointed chairman of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Commission." "The latest Civil War computer game from Firaxis is Sid Meier's "Antietam". More significant is the inclusion of the previously unpublished manuscript of Ezra Carman, the commanding officer of the 13th New Jersey Volunteers during the battle of Antietam. His 1800-page handwritten account of the battle has sat in the National Archives since it was penned and its release is of interest to people other than gamers." "As an added bonus, the game includes the previously unpublished Civil War manuscript of Ezra Carman, the commanding officer of the 13th New Jersey Volunteers.

  • Mcclellan Redux? the Often- Reported, Imminent Return of Little
    McClellan Redux? The Often- Reported, Imminent Return of Little Mac GEORGE C. RABLE Only days after the disastrous Union defeat at the Battle of Freder- icksburg, General George B. McClellan was returned to command of the Army of the Potomac. There was cheering in the camps around Falmouth, Virginia, and soldiers eagerly reported sighting a familiar figure on horseback. Of course, they were mistaken and the reports of McClellan’s restoration to command proved false, but in this case surely the wish was father to the rumor.1 Ironically, ever since President Abraham Lincoln removed McClel- lan in early November 1862, the general’s political and military crit- ics had worried about reports of his imminent return. Although the Chicago Tribune had once trumpeted McClellan as the savior of the Union, that sentiment became, as the soldiers would have said, “all played out.” Or at least the editor hoped so, for the fear remained that the general’s still loyal and sizable following might be hell-bent on overturning the president’s decision, giving aid and comfort to the Confederates, or even sparking an army mutiny. Republican losses in the fall elections had only compounded these worries, as did reports of New York Democrats assiduously courting McClellan.

Confederate monuments have met with great opposition and many are being taken down, covered or are to be removed. As you know, several have been vandalized, or toppled in front of a jeering crowd. These actions have given everyone a springboard to post their opinion on the subject of slavery, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, the confederate lost cause, and treason.

  • 47 CHAPTER 5 the Antietam Campaign After the Confederate Victory at Bull Run, General Robert E. Lee Decided to Take the Offense
    CHAPTER 5 The Antietam Campaign After the Confederate victory at Bull Run, General Robert E. Lee decided to take the offense and invade the North by entering the western part of Maryland with the intention of moving eastward toward Washington, D.C. The Army of the Potomac, under recently reappointed General George McClellan, countered by moving towards Sharpsburg, Md. As Lee moved his Army through Harpers Ferry, Va (which soon became WV), Frederick, Md, and to Sharpsburg, Md. The Union Army moved toward South Mountain, Md. The 24th had fallen back from Bull Run to Centreville, remained at Centreville 2 days; fell back from Centreville to Chantilly, where Generals Kearney and Stevens were killed. This was about the 2nd of September, they remained there 24 hours; from Chantilly they fell back to their old quarters at Upton’s Hill, where they encamped for 5 or 6 days. From there they moved into Maryland through Washington, via Rockville, Md, New Market,Va and Frederick City to South Mountain, Md, where they arrived and went into the fight between four and five o’clock on Sunday evening, 14th of September.32 There were 3 gaps through the mountains. Crampton’s Gap was located furthest south, Fox’s Gap was further north, and Turner’s Gap was the furthest north located near Boonsboro, Md. The 24th NY Infantry fought its way through Turner’s Gap on September 14th, 1862 and prepared for battle near the Antietam River near Sharpsburg. Early on the 14th the Rebels held the sides and top of the mountain at Frog’s Gap (later called Turner’s Gap).
