HISTORICAL SKETCH. The Chicago Theological Seminary was organized on the aj th of September, 1854, by delegates from Congregational churches in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri; was incorporated by the State of Illinois on the r yth of February, 1855; and began its work on the 6th of October, 1858. The founders of the institution gave to it certain character- istic features which were thought necessary to fit it to train men for the needs of the Congregational churches of the Interior. The nature of the work in the growing western churches led them to break away from the traditional views regarding Theo- logical Seminaries and adapt the institution they were founding to the work it had to do. They aimed to put the Seminary 1I under the watch and control of the churches;" to find a "practical way of training men" for the ministry, so that stu- dents should not be "educated out of acquaintance and sympathy with the conditions in which they were to work;" to give men "unable to go through college, yet having had advantages of study, and a heart devoted to the work and natural gifts there- for" au education for the ministry; to "enlarge the curriculum so that students sent forth from this Seminary should be fitted for a more varied campaign than they would be qualified for under the old routine of theological study." The growth of the Seminary, which has been steady and especially rapid during the last decade, has followed the broad lines laid down by its 9 10 CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SElI'flN ARY. founders. Through its Triennial Convention the Seminary has been kept in close relation to the churches of its constituency. The principle of enabling students to acquire practice as well as theory has led to the present system of the Seminary field work to which students are assigned in connection with the churches, missions, Sunday Schools, evangelistic efforts and philanthropic and reformatory institutions of the city, and which has been found eminently useful, in giving the students practical knowl- edge and experience in methods of Christian work, and in help- ing the mission and evangelistic work of the city. While the standard of requirements of admission for other than college graduates has been gradually raised to meet the growing demand for a better educated ministry till at present a training practically equivalent to a scientific or philosophical course in college is necessary to enter the Diploma Course, the directors of the Seminary have never forgotten that it was founded to meet the existing need of the churches in the men it furnishes. Along this line it felt and responded to the demand for ministers for our foreign-speaking Congregational churches by founding courses of study for German and Scandinavian students. The course for German students was opened in 1882, for Danish-Norwegians in 1884, and for Swedes in 1885. The Seminary has also been awake to the need of broadening its cur- riculum. The authorities have given a prominent place to mis- sions and church music. In 1892 they founded a professorship of Christian Sociology and the evangelistic use of the Bible, being the first of the Seminaries in this country to give Christian Soci- ology a recognized place in its Board of Instruction. In 1893 a professorship of Assyriology and Comparative Religion was founded that the Seminary might keep abreast of modern researches in these lines. The material growth of the Seminary has also been marked. It has experienced the advantages of the wise foresight of its founders 'in placing it in close and vital union with the churches it serves, and has never appealed to them for material help in vain. CH1CAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. II ORGANIZATION. The organization of the Seminary consists of the Triennial Convention, the Board of Directors, the Board of Instructors and the Board of Examiners. The Triennial Convention meets once in three years and elects the Board of Directors. The convention consists of- the Board of Directors, Board of Instruction, and the delegates appointed, one from each of the local associations of the states composing the constituency of the Seminary.

An Analytical Framework for Studying the Politics of Consumption: The Case of the National Consumers’ League Wendy A. Wiedenhoft Department of Sociology, John Carroll University, Ohio, USA ABSTRACT Consumption is not often addressed in the literature on social movements even though consumer organizations and consumer tactics have been successful in achieving social change. This paper offers an analytical framework for studying the politics of consumption, which suggests that consumers can be conceived of collectively as active agents rather than passive individuals. I capture this active agency through four concepts: mobilization, problematization, identification, and contention. I focus on one consumer organization, the National Consumers’ League, and its three consumer tactics, white lists, white labels, and legislation, in order to demonstrate how the analytical framework I construct can be applied.

Comprised of prominent businessmen, university leaders, and religious figures, the Committee hoped to provide guidance to American citizens through the results of a ten-year long scientific investigation of alcohol in its relation to economics, physiology, law, and ethics. Because academic leaders such as Charles W. Eliot, Daniel Coit Gilman, Seth Low, William H. Welch, and Henry P. Bowditch were consumed with the process of transforming their institutions into research universities and distinguishing themselves from the crowd of denominational liberal arts colleges, what would have motivated them to commit themselves to an extensive, time-consuming exploration of temperance issues? The work that follows will demonstrate that the university leaders on the Committee dominated its agenda and actions.

However, by its sixteenth convention in 1924, the union nearly collapsed beneath the weight of state repression, vigilante killings, organizational weaknesses, and political divisions, after which it remained on the fringes of labor politics.

  • The Influence of Social Darwinism on Progressive Era Political Thought and Policy
    The Influence of Social Darwinism on Progressive Era Political Thought and Policy A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in Political Science in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Shea Gordon The Ohio State University December 2009 Project Advisor: Professor Eric MacGilvray, Department of Political Science 2 Introduction During the Progressive Era, American society was writhing with the growing pains of rapid transformation. Not only had the Industrial Revolution transfigured American society, but also this happened immediately after the United States had succeeded in extracting itself from a long and bloody Civil War. Waves of immigrants were continuing to inundate American cities, largely in search of jobs created by virtue of the Industrial Revolution. Additionally, some rural Americans began to leave their homes in search of better fortunes in the cities. These urban centers strained beneath the weight of a population grown beyond comfortable capacity given the conditions of the time. These new urban citizens were thrust into a world unknown in the history of civilization. Society had no prior knowledge as to how to cope with the problems of modern development. Many immigrants, unable to even communicate amongst their neighbors, clung to their rural, peasant habits. They understood not at all how to manage the treacherous conditions in which they lived their daily lives. Many “native” Americans could not sufficiently manage the difficulties of urban life either, notwithstanding the lack of a language barrier. The massive influx of people into the cities resulted in still further complications with which to contend.
