  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Educating
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Educating Women Physicians of the World: International Students of the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1883-1911 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Sarah Ross Pripas-Kapit 2015 © Copyright by Sarah Ross Pripas-Kapit 2015 ! ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Educating Women Physicians of the World: International Students of the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1883-1911 by Sarah Ross Pripas-Kapit Doctor of Philosophy in History Professor Ellen Carol Dubois, Chair This dissertation presents a comparative examination of a cohort of international students who attended the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania (WMCP) from the years 1883 to 1911. The dissertation consider how these women came to study medicine in the United States, their experiences in the U.S., and how they later practiced medicine in their home countries. The dissertation argues that the global dissemination of modern medicine, and the maintenance of U.S. imperial power, has been in part enabled by the willing cooperation of transnational intermediaries such as these women. However, the students’ lives were in large part shaped by changes within American medicine during this period, in which medical education was changing rapidly. Although students who attended the college in the 1880s and early 1890s were able to forge a space within the college that permitted forms of medicine other than Western allopathic medicine, later generations of students tended to be more beholden to the idea, then in its early development, that “scientific medicine” represented the only valid form of medicine.

The ways women experienced these pains, as well as the ways they were perceived by physicians and depicted in wider medical discourses, however, are historically and culturally specific. In late nineteenth and early twentieth century English Canada – a key period in terms of both the medicalization of birth and the professionalization of obstetrics – the dominant medical perception of the female body held that white, middle-class, and urban-dwelling women were particularly “delicate” and sensitive to pain for a variety of reasons.

  • Would You Prosecute the War with Elder-Stalk Squirts, Charged with Rose Water?”
    Chapter Twenty-eight “Would You Prosecute the War with Elder-Stalk Squirts, Charged with Rose Water?”: The Soft War Turns Hard (July-September 1862) In the summer of 1862, public disenchantment with the Administration’s “fatal milk and water policy” intensified.1 “The stern sentiment of justice and of retribution which swells even to bursting in millions of American hearts today, must be vindicated,” declared a Cincinnati journalist on Independence Day. “The outraged sense and patience of a long suffering nation must be trifled with no longer.”2 Illinois Governor Richard Yates warned Lincoln that the “crisis of the war and our national existence is upon us. The time has come for the adoption of more decisive measures. Mild and conciliatory means have been tried in vain.”3 The “people are fast getting into the belief, that as quiet & moderate war measures have accomplished no good, that severe measures are now necessary, & if the rebels will not lay down their arms – that it is the duty of the Govt to smite them hip & thigh,” Lincoln’s friend David Davis observed.4 1 James B.
