  • Advancement of the Modern State Through Education: Bulgarians at Robert College 1863-1912
    Advancement of the Modern State through Education: Bulgarians at Robert College 1863-1912 Paulin Draganova June 2, 2018 Draganova 2 INTRODUCTION In the struggle of Bulgaria preceding the independence and after, the education Bulgarian students received at Robert College influenced the future direction of Bulgaria as a nation-state. The opportunity that Robert College provided was unique and appealing to Bulgarian students because of the location of the college and the quality of its education. Konstantin Stoilov, Stefan Panaretov, Todor Ivanchov, and Ivan Bagarov exemplify the types of men that graduated Robert College and actively had the opportunity to impact Bulgaria through their careers. Robert College’s qualities as a college that was American and taught curriculum that was American provided the ideas of modernity to their students. Through the use of ethnic identity to group students and the promotion of Bulgarian, the vernacular language for Bulgarian students in an academic and recognized setting, Robert College fostered nationalism that strengthened Bulgaria’s political and social environment to establish an independent democratic, market- oriented, modern nation-state. ROBERT COLLEGE’S IMPACT ON BULGARIA CAME FROM SO MANY BULGARIANS ATTENDING THE COLLEGE When Robert College was founded in 1863, Bulgaria was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Bulgarian students attended it before Bulgaria had gained independence from the Ottoman Empire and in the following years when the Third Bulgarian State was established. Robert College opened in Constantinople at a time when there was no quality education being offered to the Bulgarian subjects of the Ottoman Empire. Robert College provided an education that was located close to the Bulgarian provinces, and the education was at a high level, on par with American colleges at the time.

    İstanbulBülteniBu bülten sizindir, alabilirsiniz • www.ibb.gov.tr • Eylül 2013 Her Yerde Metro, Her Yere Metro Sevgili İstanbullular Göreve geldiğimiz günden itibaren 9 yıldır daha hızlı, daha konforlu ve daha güvenli toplu ulaşım imkanına kavuşmanız için 365 gün 24 saat prensibiyle dur durak bilmeden çalışıyoruz. Geçen 9 yılda dev ulaşım yatırımlarının altına imza attık. Cumhuriyet Tarihi boyunca İstanbul’a yapılan kavşak ve yol yatırımlarının toplamından daha fazla yatırım yaparak 263 kavşak ve yolu hizmete sunduk. İstanbul’un ilk metrobüsünü hizmete aldık. Ancak toplu taşımayı rahatlatmanın yolu, metro yatırımlarını ilçe ilçe, mahalle mahalle yaygınlaştırmaktan geçiyor. Bu gerçeği hiç unutmadık ve metro yatırımlarımıza hız ve öncelik verdik. Şehrin pek çok noktasında yerin altında gece gündüz devam eden çalışmalarımız, emin adımlarla ilerliyor. “Her yerde metro, her yere metro” hedefine koşuyoruz! Siz değerli hemşehrilerimiz için hayata geçirdiğimiz, yapımına devam ettiğimiz ve planladığımız metro yatırımlarımızı bir basın toplantısıyla tanıttık. Bu sayede, yaşadığınız kentin mevcut ulaşım ağı ile gelecek yıllarda nasıl bir ulaşım ağına sahip olacağı noktasında detaylı bilgi sahibi olmanızı hedefledik. Kent içi günlük yolculuklarınızda hangi ulaşım araçları ve raylı sistemleri kullanacağınızı önceden belirleyebilmenizi hatta gelecek yıllara dair bireysel planlamalarınızı yapabilmenizi istedik. Bu vesileyle bugüne kadar gösterdiğiniz güven ve verdiğiniz destekten ötürü hepinize tek tek teşekkür ediyorum. Zira İstanbul ve siz değerli İstanbullular her şeyin en iyisine ve en güzeline layıksınız... Geride bıraktığımız Eylül ayında yurt içinde yurt dışındaki pek çok programda ülkemizi ve İstanbul’umuzu temsil etme imkanı buldum. Özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin New York kentinde yapılan Birleşmiş Milletler 68. Genel Kurulu’nda ülkemize ve şehrimize duyulan hayranlığı bir kez daha görmekten büyük mutluluk duydum.
