PETITIONER Virginia Seminary, 2058 Garfield Avenue, Lynchburg, Virginia 24501 Representative: Ryan Mickles, Virginia University of Lynchburg, 2058 Garfield Avenue, Lynchburg, Virginia 24501 II. LOCATION The subject property is one (1) tract of approximately five and ninety-two hundredths (5.92) acres located at 2057 Garfield Avenue. The area proposed to be removed from the historic district is the entire area surrounding the two buildings and parking lot connecting the two buildings as shown on the concept plan. III. PURPOSE The purpose of the petition is to allow for campus construction without Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) review, particularly for a new athletic facility just south of Graham Hall. IV. SUMMARY Virginia University of Lynchburg has a rich history as the oldest institution of higher education in Lynchburg and the first associated with African American education. The petition runs contrary to the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan to preserve Lynchburg’s unique historic sites and ensure appropriate and sensitive alterations. While construction of new buildings still require conditional use permit (CUP) approvals, the design of these buildings will not be required to meet the historic district guidelines or be subject to any review for compatibility with nearby historic resources. Removing the proposed area disconnects the historic district from itself creating an irregular boundary, contrary to Secretary of Interior’s guidance. The “district” would look more like just a collection of individual buildings with no relation to each other.

  • Whittaker-Annotated Atlbib July 31 2014
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version of August 2, 2014 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. I try in particular to note problems in some of the studies that are often cited by others with less atlatl knowledge, and correct some of the misinformation. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation, but at heart I am an old-fashioned paper-lover.

  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

Box 232 39 Bank Street S.E. Chatham, Virginia 24531 February 2019 Dear Students, Parents and Guardians: The Course Selection Guide for Pittsylvania County High Schools is provided to serve as a guide to the regulations, pro- cedures, and programs offered in the high schools. We hope you will use this document for a reference as you plan your high school sequence of courses. Both general and specific information about curricular offerings and services are provided. In our efforts to be clear and consise, we have written brief, objective descriptions of the many elements of the programs. You may obtain more information on most of the topics by contacting the guidance counselor at each of the high schools. The Course Selection Guide 2019-20 will simplify the process in which the planning and selection of a challenging course of study is conducted for each student. All students have many choices as they pursue their interests and expand their experiences. By working together, the student, the parents, and the counselor can plan the student's years in school and can make appropriate revisions along the way. The student's long-range goals, as well as the very important re- quirements for graduation, should guide decision-making, and this document supports that process. Contact with the Guidance Office will reveal many other supports, such as providing small-group tutorial assistance in many departments in which students are preparing for end-of-course tests.

  • British and American Perspectives on Early Modern Warfare
    BEITRÄGE Peter Wilson British and american perspectives on early modern warfare Anglophone writing on warfare is currently undergoing a transformation, driven by a number of contradictory forces. In the US, as John Lynn has noted, ‘political correctness’ is stifling much traditional military history in the universities. Yet, conflict remains a central concern of academic study and social and political scientists are paying increasing attention to the past in their attempts to trace long-term human developments.1 Given the scope and volume of new work, this paper will eschew a comprehensive survey in favour of concentrating on the last decade, identifying key trends and important individual publications. The focus will be primarily on Anglophone writing on war as a historical phenomenon and as a factor in early modern British history. The revolution in social and economic history which swept British universities in the 1950s did not leave military history untouched. The new methodologies and concerns were incorporated to create what has become known as the ‘new military history’, or ‘war and society’ approach which seeks not merely to understand armed forces as social institutions, but to locate war in its wider historical context. This approach thrived in the 1970s and 1980s, epitomised by the ‘War and Society’ series originally published by Fontana and recently reissued by Sutton.2 It is maintained today by the journal, War in History, published by Arnold, as well as further individual volumes.3 While appreciating their insights, critics have charged the 1 Contrasting perspectives are offered by J. A. Lynn, The embattled future of academic military history, in: Journal of Military History 61 (1997), 777-789; J.
