My directors, Dr. Steven Miller and Dr. Janis Fine, were instrumental in alleviating these concerns. Consequently, feelings of uncertanity were supplanted by encouragement, support and empathy. The professional expertise rendered by the other committee members Dr. Gerald Gutek and Dr. Joan Smith has been valued and appreciated. I want to acknowledge the unselfish support, through prayers and understanding, extended by my co-workers, friends and family. Specifically, I must acknowledge the technical expertise provided by my sister Dr. Levonne Williams. Her computer literacy was invaluable. Additionally, I must thank Mrs. Josie Whiting Smith, my co­ worker and friend, for sharing her expertise. I also want to express sincere gratitude to my parents, Otha and Catherine Williams, who instilled within me a drive and comittment to self actualization. I regret my father passed away recently and did not see the dissertation completed. He was an integral enity in the whole process. The completion of the paper would not have been iii possible without the generous cooperation of Dr. Margaret Burroughs and the staff at the DuSable Museum of African American History. Dr. Burroughs selflessly opened her life as well as her home to me. She made her private papers available for investigation. Teresa Christopher, Ramon Price and the museum staff were extremely helpful, cordial, and tolerant. Lastly, yet foremost, I must acknowledge the presence of the God spirit in my life and the avid support of my prayer partner and friend Sandra Webb Booker. Through prayer and spiritual guidance this dissertation became manifest. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT iii LIST OF TABLES vi Chapter I. THE EARLY YEARS ...........•................... 1 II.

Woodrow Wilson was the nation's twenty-eighth president serving from 1913-1923. When Wilson was first initiated into the political arena as the governor of New Jersey in 1910, the majority of the American populace lived and worked on farms. By 1917, when Margaret Taylor was born, he had been re-elected as President and in April of the same year he had asked Congress for a declaration of war bringing the nation into World War I. By this time fewer people were making their living from the land. Industry had made its debut on the continent. By 1920, at the end of his term, agriculture was being replaced with commercial entrepreneurship and industry. Life was rapidly changing for the American people. In 1910, for example, there were approximately 500,000 motorists. One decade later the roadways were being traversed by more than eight million drivers. Skyscrapers silhouetted the skies the urban areas and electricity was helping to make the 2 lives of Americans more comfortable. 1 When Margaret was only one year old the phonograph record made its debut. Motion pictures had gained popularity along with jazz music. The American culture was taking on a new complexion. World War I had a profound effect on social life in America. There were numerous and evident changes, prohibition of liquor, and women were enfranchised through the fourteenth amendment. There was a great migration of blacks from the South to the North. In order to get the Federal Reserve Act passed, President Wilson had to "concede special credit statues for notes secured by crops or farm land." 2 At the time, usuary interest rates were being assessed farmers on mortgages. Wilson compromised with Congress in mid October, 1919, and conceded there could be special private land banks from which farmers could negotiate a loan at less exorbitant rates. The farmers advocated a plan for government land banks but Wilson staunchly opposed the proposal. "I have a very deep conviction that it is unwise and unjustifiable to extend the credit of the Government to a single class of the community3 ". This posture affected the Taylor family along 1John Caughey and Ernest R. May, A History of the United States, (Chicago: Rand McNally and Co., 1964), 423-453. 2 Ibid., 433. 3 Ibid., 433. 3 with friends and neighbors. The Taylors were unable to purchase additional properties, which might have expanded the family's meager land holdings. Friends who worked the land as sharecroppers lost hope of becoming land owners. Wilson's ideology and policy of the New Freedom was well known in the black communities. No where perhaps were the limits of the New Freedom more apparent than in the administration's attitude toward negroes. Wilson, a number of members of the cabinet, and a majority of Democratic leaders in Congress were southerners, at least in origin. Not long after taking office, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General began systematically placing negroes in separate offices and fitting out separate lunchrooms and rest rooms for them. Little or no restraint was placed on officials outside the District of Columbia who pursued such a policy more brazenly. The Collector of International Revenue in Atlanta declared 'There are not government positions for negroes in the South. A negro's place was in the cornfields.' 4 When protest arose from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, northern reformers and newspaper editors, Wilson responded "I do approve of the segregation that is being attempted .... I think it is distinctly to the advantage of the colored people themselves. 115 Note this was the same person who opposed any policy that favored a special group. This, then, was the atmosphere of the nation into which Margaret Taylor was born. This was the legacy she was to inherit and throughout her life respond to through very diverse and poignant channels. 4 Ibid. , 434. 5 Ibid., 434. 4 Early Years in st. Rose On 1 November 1917, Christopher Alexander Taylor and octovia Pierre Taylor became parents to a baby daughter whom they named Margaret Victoria (Victoria after her maternal grandmother and Margaret after her father's oldest sister). The Taylors belonged to the working class like the preponderance of the populace in this small obscure village of st. Rose in the parish of St. Charles. 6 Their house was something of an architectural forerunner of the modern duplex. It was built of clapboard and each unit consisted of two rooms. The two units shared a gallery or porch and had been built by the local men themselves. Several of the more prominent members of the community lived in larger white houses on the main street, Big Street. They were not built by the local farmers but by contractors and these houses were adorned with shuttered windows. st. Rose is an obscure village about eighteen miles outside of New Orleans but could easily be missed because it is not designated on the map of the area. Before it became the village of St. Rose, the area had been a vast plantation for sugar cane. Margaret's father's ancestors, the Taylors, had been slaves on these plantations. After the Emancipation, it had been divided into small parcels. These were then sold to the former slaves from the area. In 1919 6Margaret Burroughs "Retrospect," TMs, 1965, Personal files, Dr. Margaret Burroughs, Chicago, 1. 5 a number of the tenants pooled their resources and bought the parcel of land that became known as st. Rose. The community was comprised entirely of people of color with the exception of white people who owned the General Store on the main street. some of the land was owned by the families who worked the land and some was held in joint tenancy where the landowner would reap part of the profits from the land and the sharecroppers would earn a percentage of the profits. There was another group who neither owned or rented the land, rather they worked entirely for the landowner. Most of the members in this group always seemed to be in debt to the owners and worked just to survive from one harvest to another1 • Although some of the men worked at the oil wells, Mr.

Throughout the semester we studied all of the past presidents and compiled a ranked list of these men based on our personal opinion of their greatness. My thesis is a similar study of their wives. The knowledge I have gained through researching presidential spouses has been very complementary to the information I learned previously in Mr. Markle's class and has expanded my understanding of one ofthe most important political positions in the United States. The opportunity to see what parallels developed between my ran kings of the preSidents and the women that stood behind them has led me to a deeper understanding ofthe traits and characteristics that are embodied by those viewed as great leaders. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my dad for helping me to participate in and understand the importance of history and education at a young age.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Margaret Mackall Smith Taylor, First Lady 1788-1852
    Margaret Mackall Smith Taylor, First Lady 1788-1852 Margaret Smith was the wife of Zachary Taylor, a First Lady whose husband was born in Orange County and who was a cousin by marriage to the Madisons (reference “The Taylor-Madison Connection). A summary from the White House website: “Margaret Mackall Smith ‘Peggy’ Taylor served as First Lady from 1849 to 1850 as the wife of the 12th President, Zachary Taylor. Due to ill health, she left, however, much of the official hostess duties to her daughter, Betty Taylor. “After the election of 1848, a passenger on a Mississippi riverboat struck up a conversation with easy-mannered Gen. Zachary Taylor, not knowing his identity. The passenger remarked that he didn’t think the general qualified for the Presidency--was the stranger ‘a Taylor man’? ‘Not much of one,’ came the reply. The general went on to say that he hadn’t voted for Taylor, partly because his wife was opposed to sending ‘Old Zack’ to Washington, ‘where she would be obliged to go with him!’ It was a truthful answer. “Moreover, the story goes that Margaret Taylor had taken a vow during the Mexican War: If her husband returned safely, she would never go into society again. In fact she never did, though prepared for it by genteel upbringing. “ ‘Peggy’ Smith was born in Calvert County, Maryland, daughter of Ann Mackall and Walter Smith, a major in the Revolutionary War according to family tradition. In 1809, visiting a sister in Kentucky, she met young Lieutenant Taylor. They were married the following June, and for a while the young wife stayed on the farm given them as a wedding present by Zachary’s father.

  • Ranking America's First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary Moves from 2 to 5 ; Jackie
    For Immediate Release: Monday, September 29, 2003 Ranking America’s First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 nd Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary moves from 2 nd to 5 th ; Jackie Kennedy from 7 th th to 4 Mary Todd Lincoln Up From Usual Last Place Loudonville, NY - After the scrutiny of three expert opinion surveys over twenty years, Eleanor Roosevelt is still ranked first among all other women who have served as America’s First Ladies, according to a recent expert opinion poll conducted by the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI). In other news, Mary Todd Lincoln (36 th ) has been bumped up from last place by Jane Pierce (38 th ) and Florence Harding (37 th ). The Siena Research Institute survey, conducted at approximate ten year intervals, asks history professors at America’s colleges and universities to rank each woman who has been a First Lady, on a scale of 1-5, five being excellent, in ten separate categories: *Background *Integrity *Intelligence *Courage *Value to the *Leadership *Being her own *Public image country woman *Accomplishments *Value to the President “It’s a tracking study,” explains Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, Siena College professor of statistics and co-director of the First Ladies study with Thomas Kelly, Siena professor-emeritus of American studies. “This is our third run, and we can chart change over time.” Siena Research Institute is well known for its Survey of American Presidents, begun in 1982 during the Reagan Administration and continued during the terms of presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (http://www.siena.edu/sri/results/02AugPresidentsSurvey.htm ).
