Since 1960 this institution has been an educational leader in Central and Southside Virginia. Since 2008, with the construction of two four-story residence halls, we have been providing that same quality of instruction to students from across the state and beyond. The College’s enrollment of over 1,600 full and part-time students is indicative of the confidence expressed by the traditional student, the adult learner, and the general public in the quality of instruction offered by our outstanding faculty.

Human capital improvements are estimated to contribute a present value of $7 million in GDP and approximately $1 million in state tax revenue. The total economic contribution resulting from RBC operations during FY 2015 was $21 million in GDP and the total state tax.

While the moat advanced technological meant to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality it heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Misting Paga(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent page);. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacen pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, _ is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find ^ good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. Whan a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning |s continued again — beginning balow the first row and continuing on untjil complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest valuir, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

THE SLAVERY OF EMANCIPATION Guyora Binder* I. THE CLAIM: MANUMISSION IS NOT ABOLITION The Thirteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution com- mands that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist."' What has been the effect of this command? It will serve my present purpose to offer the following too- simple answer to this complex question: the Thirteenth Amend- ment secured little more than the manumission of slaves already practically freed by the friction of war. It guaranteed, in Confeder- ate General Robert Richardson's now well-known phrase, "noth- 2 ing but freedom." Supposing this answer to be true, a further question presents itself: Did the Thirteenth Amendment's effect fulfill its command? Did universal manumission abolish slavery? A full answer to this question would require a rich historical account of the evolving institution of American slavery, the fea- tures of that institution that survived the Reconstruction era, and how those features evolved in the ensuing century and a quarter.

    RICHARD BLAND COLLEGE REVIEW REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 Auditor of Public Accounts Martha S. Mavredes, CPA www.apa.virginia.gov (804) 225-3350 May 14, 2020 Debbie L. Sydow President, Richard Bland College INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Richard Bland College, which comprise the Statements of Net Position as of June 30, 2019, and 2018, and the related Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position, and Cash Flows for the year then ended. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of College management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. Accountant’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARSs) promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. SSARSs require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    Slaves at the University of Virginia

    Gayle M. Schulman, an avocational local historian, conducted this research during the early months of 2003 and presented it to the African American Genealogy Group of Charlottesville/ Albemarle in May of that year. Her interest in this topic grew from her research on Isabella Gibbons (a teacher who spent part of her life as a slave on the grounds of the University of Virginia) and the community in which she lived. This essay is an overview of the information collected from vital statistics, census data, church records, University of Virginia Archives, and faculty manuscripts. A more extensive research project on the same topic is currently being conducted by Catherine Neale, a student at the University of Virginia. [2005] Slaves at the University of Virginia Gayle M. Schulman1 There is no sign of the vegetable garden, hen house, well, or the outbuildings once on the land. The rear of the three-storied house, glimpsed through the trees, is partially masked by boxwoods. On the lower level of the garden one passes an English Gothic pinnacle to find steps up to a gate through a serpentine wall into an upper garden; there one can see the home’s second story door with a handsome transom window like half of a daisy, or perhaps a fine piece of oriental embroidery. Tucked beneath the steep stairways to this grand back entry is a solid door leading into the cellar. The oldest part of this cellar is divided by a central chimney that is flanked by two rooms on one side and a larger room, the original kitchen, on 2 the other.
