Old Times Old Homes.. Old (gardens..

There is infinite appeal in its architecture, framed in immemorial trees, in the lavish display of color in its gardens, in its clean paved streets, velvet lawns, and the grand old hills that run out to the horizon and leave it, a jewel, set in jade under the in¬ verted turquoise cup which is its sky. And there is appeal of another kind, but not less delightful, in the easy cour¬ tesy and friendliness of the people—courtesy unobtrusive; friendliness sincere and unselfish. ****** Nor is this all. The past clings to Milledgeville, as if the souls of the splendid men and women of other days still wandered among its scenes; gallant men and lovely women who helped to build up that immortal tradition, “the old South”, which is destined to become America’s fairest legacy; who gave of their brains and souls to edu¬ cation, to Godliness, to art and music, dissolving themselves in new generations, as Cleopatra’s pearl passed into sparkling wine. ****** But it is the new generation risen from the mysteries of the past that today crown Milledgeville with its greater loveliness; the loveliness of vibrant youth and incomparable grace. Within a few tree-sheltered squares four¬ teen hundred Georgia girls, reborn, have returned to lay their treasures at their mother’s feet, and take from her gentle hands immortal gifts. And not far away in halls that once rang with the eloquence of the South’s greatest orators, are hundreds of manly youths wearing their country’s uniform, training for life’s conflicts, come as they may—to defend the principles of their government in court, in legislative hall, and on the hustings; to carry its flag to victory. In truth, gazing upon these splendid boys and girls, one is seeing not alone the Georgia of today, but of yes¬ terday and tomorrow. One day, perhaps, some Georgian whose inspiration has flowed out of a beautiful life that once graced the homes and gardens of the dear old city, will return to erect a monument to Milledgeville—a noble woman hold¬ ing her infant, her face lifted toward the east and full of the beauty of holiness. And at her feet carved, in the rock, ten words—THE PAST IS IN HER HEART: THE FUTURE IN HER ARMS. For such is Milledgeville. The State of Georgia has much to boast of in educational institutions. Great colleges carry on for the future in many sections, and a thousand noble schools attest the eagerness of her people to keep at the front in mental development, but the University at Athens—a great son of Milledgeville—and the colleges at Milledgeville, be¬ long peculiarly to the state; and without prejudice to the former, sentiment will always cling closer to the spot whence are to come the little mothers of tomorrow. If you, respected readers, fail to journey to this cradle of so man}* hopes and view the birth of new eras there, you are perhaps neglecting your best delights. For there, in your own historic halls, are your own children living upward to God, inspired by your best traditions, trained and guided by those to whom you have intrusted them; men and women of great hearts, powerful intellects, incor¬ ruptible souls, and compelling genius.

  • The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power
    The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power: Bridging Songs with Literary Texts to Enhance Students’ Interpretative Skills Elroy Alister Esdaille Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Elroy Alister Esdaille All Rights Reserved Abstract Sometimes students struggle to interpret literary texts because some of these texts do not lend themselves to the deduction of the interpretative processes with which they are familiar, but the same is not true when students pull interpretations from songs. Is it possible that students’ familiarity with songs might enable them to connect a song with a book and aid interpretation that way? This study attempted to explore the possibility of bridging songs to literary texts in my Community College English classroom, to ascertain if or how the use of song can support or extend students’ interpretive strategies across different types of texts. I investigated how songs might work as a bridge to other texts, like novels, and, if the students use songs as texts, to what extent do the students develop and hone their interpretative skills? Because of this, how might including songs as texts in English writing or English Literature curriculum contribute to the enhancement of students’ writing? The students’ responses disclosed that the songs appealed to their cognition and memories and helped them to interpret and write about the novels they read. Moreover, the students’ responses revealed that pairing or matching songs with novels strengthened interpretation of the book in a plethora of ways, such as meta-message deduction, applying contexts, applying comparisons, and examining thematic correlations.

  • John Milledge Letter
    10/18/2014 John Milledge letter John Milledge letter Descriptive Summary Repository: Georgia Historical Society Creator: Milledge, John, 1757-1818. Title: John Milledge letter Dates: 1793 Extent: 0.05 cubic feet (1 folder) Identification: MS 1796 Biographical/Historical Note John Milledge, II (1757-1818) was born in Savannah, Georgia, the only son of John Milledge (1721-1781) and Ann (Smith) Milledge. A prominent lawyer, Milledge sided with the patriots and fought in the Revolutionary War, served as Attorney-General of Georgia in 1780, as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives (1782-1790), as a member of the United States Congress (1792-1801), as Governor of Georgia (1802- 1806), and as a United States Senator (1806- 1809). In 1801, Milledge purchased a 633 acre tract of land for $4,000 and named it "Athens" in honor of Greece's ancient center of culture and learning. He was a key figure in the establishment of the University of Georgia. Not only was he on the committee that decided the location of the institution, but he donated the 633 acre tract of land where the university and the city of Athens now stand. The Georgia state legislature called for the establishment of a town to be named after Milledge in 1803 and one year later Milledgeville became Georgia's fourth capital. Milledgville, located in Baldwin County, served as Georgia's state capital from 1804 until 1868. Milledge resigned his Senate seat in 1809 and returned to Georgia to be with his wife, Martha Galphin Milledge, who was very ill and later died.

Beginning on page 294 whoever was typing the manuscript began using m.s. for misspelled words instead of sic. The problem is sometimes the word was corrected and sometimes not. I retained the (m.s.) designation when the typist corrected the spelling and substituted sic when the text is still misspelled. 2. Beginning on page 294 the typist switched to double spacing the text. I retained the spacing which had been used previously. 3.The words conferred, referred and authorize often were spelled as confered, refered, and authorise respectfully and were left as they appeared (not highlighted). page numbers in this version refer to the page number found in the original holograph minutes (not those of the typed transcription) and are indicated as: (pge 1) Penciled in remarks from the source text are preserved in this edition in parentheses.

Often integrates imagery and thick description to this end. a rhetorical mode involving the construction and relation of stories. narration Typically integrates description as a technique. a rhetorical gesture by which an author looks back, through the diegetic gap, to demonstrate knowledge or understanding gained from the subject on which they are reflecting. May also include consideration of reflection the impact of that past subject on the author’s future—“Looking back in order to look forward.” the circumstances in which rhetoric is produced, understood using the constituent elements of subject, occasion, audience, and purpose. Each element of the rhetorical situation carries assumptions and imperatives rhetorical situation about the kind of rhetoric that will be well received. Rhetorical situation will also influence mode and medium. Storytelling is one of few rituals that permeates all cultures. Indeed, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a well-told story. But what exactly makes for a well-told story? Of course, the answer to that question depends on your rhetorical situation: your audience, your sociohistorical position, and your purpose will determine how you tell your story.

  • The Prairie Wind Newsletter of the Illinois Chapter of the SCBWI
    The Prairie Wind Newsletter of the Illinois Chapter of the SCBWI Spring 2015 • From the Editor Do you think fictional characters need to be likable? In this issue, by coincidence, two of our contributors explore this topic. Molly Backes in her Writer’s Tip says: “Personally, I’m in favor of unlikable characters. We are writing about teenagers, after all! They’re not the most likable creatures in the universe. Lovable, sure. But not always likable.” Juliet Bond, in her review of Blake Snyder’s book Save the Cat: The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need for the Writer’s Bookshelf, says, “I’m personally drawn to characters that are a bit prickly, rebellious, and less than charming. But they have to be likable.” See what you think. In our previous issue Lisa Bierman said goodbye. In this issue our new co-regional advisor Deborah Topolski introduces herself: “I’m a prepublished member, still learning how to make inroads in my career . I’m on this journey to publication with you.” Another change in this issue is in the format of our Illustrator in the Spotlight column. A panel of Illinois illustrators has compiled a set of questions that each issue’s featured illustrator will answer. This time it’s Theresa Brandon, answering such questions as “Do you ever tuck little personal homages or details in your illustrations?” and “What gets in the way of your creativity?” Our Tale from the Front, the story of a first-time author, comes from Stefanie Lyons, author of Dating Down. Stefanie has a curious tale to tell: “My first book that my agent liked but thought should be my second book while I was working on my second-supposed-to-be-first book with her turned out to be my first book anyway.” Check out Season’s Crop, compiled by Tina Stoval and Natalie Ziarnik, for a list of ten books coming out this spring by Illinois authors.

  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.

  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards.

TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years.
