    Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680

    Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680 MARK VALERI n March 1680 Boston merchant John Hull wrote a scathing letter to the Ipswich preacher William Hubbard. Hubbard I owed him £347, which was long overdue. Hull recounted how he had accepted a bill of exchange (a promissory note) ftom him as a matter of personal kindness. Sympathetic to his needs, Hull had offered to abate much of the interest due on the bill, yet Hubbard still had sent nothing. 'I have patiently and a long time waited,' Hull reminded him, 'in hopes that you would have sent me some part of the money which I, in such a ftiendly manner, parted with to supply your necessities.' Hull then turned to his accounts. He had lost some £100 in potential profits from the money that Hubbard owed. The debt rose with each passing week.' A prominent citizen, militia officer, deputy to the General Court, and affluent merchant, Hull often cajoled and lectured his debtors (who were many), moralized at and shamed them, but never had he done what he now threatened to do to Hubbard: take him to court. 'If you make no great matter of it,' he warned I. John Hull to William Hubbard, March 5, 1680, in 'The Diaries of John Hull,' with appendices and letters, annotated by Samuel Jennison, Transactions of the American Anti- quarian Society, II vols.

  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England

    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.

    S a School Ar Approach Rchives in H N Action: : a Practi Ice-Based D

    School Archives in Action: A Practiice-Based Research Approach SARAH A. BUCHANAN The Meadows School, Las Vegas, Nevada Abstract: School archives consist of documents, artifacts,, and ephemera such as artwork and uniforms which form the foundation for understanding and constructing an individual school's history annd broader educational memory. Successful school archives have implemented research recommendations which have established the archival value of preserving these matterials, and their utility in support of community identity and service-learning. This paper surveys the development of school archives within their innstitutions and reports on continuing professional development activities worldwide for school archivists. The concept of practice-based research is applied in order to identify archival programs and examine specific uses for the hiistorical materials found in school archives. Introduction While archival materials have been housed in schools for generations, their visibility has increased in recent years as scholarly cultural and historical research has shifted in visible ways from the study of bureaucratic and organizationaal records to tthe study of the daily lives and everyday activities of citizens. The primary sources for such cultural studies increasingly derive from local communities, schools, and family archives.1 Public and nonpublic schools in the United States have collected materials since their rapid establishment nationwide in the nineteenth century. When recognizing their founding through a centennial celebration or related anniversary, many school administrators today have chosen to devote renewed attention to their heritage by establishing and supporting an archival program. This practice-based research surveys the development of school archives and is contextualized by a school archives literature review and professsional analysis.

    SAMUEL SEWALL Defender of the Rule of Law?

    gross.1-148 11/3/06 9:06 AM Page 3 SAMUEL SEWALL Defender of the Rule of Law? 1 John R. Vile T IS BOTH APPROPRIATE AND ironic to describe Samuel Sewall as a defender of the rule of law. It is appropriate because Sewall embodied many of the qualities of a good judge for more than thirty years. He was an earlyI advocate of equal rights for African Americans and Native Americans and a defender of the view that women, like men, had souls and would share heavenly joys. Moreover, Sewall represents the culture of Puritanism, which laid important foundations for Ameri- can law by distinguishing between liberty and license and by valuing, though not always extending to others, liberty of conscience. To describe Sewall as a defender of the rule of law is ironic because although he was neither a lawyer nor formally trained in the law, he served as a judge in the notorious Salem witch trials, which led to the death of twenty inno- cent victims. Sewall was a man of faith at a time when fellow citizens considered knowledge of the Bible, and especially the Old Testament, more impor- tant than knowledge of contemporary books of law. Had Sewall been more skeptical of the wide-eyed claims of the young witnesses in the Salem witch trials or had he been trained in cross-examination and other trial techniques, he would have served the cause of justice better. gross.1-148 11/3/06 9:06 AM Page 4 I John R. Vile However, his belief in being accountable to God prodded him—alone among his fellow judges—to apologize publicly for his role in the trials.
