Louis Wade Sullivan Commencement Speaker Recipient, Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree Louis Wade Sullivan's parents knew that rural Blakely, Georgia, offered few educa­ tional opportunities for blacks. So, Walter Wade Sullivan, an undertaker, and Lubirda Elizabeth Priester Sullivan, a teacher, sent their sons Walter and Louis to Atlanta, where the boys stayed with family friends and attended public school. Louis, the younger, went to Morehouse College and graduated with highest honors in I 954. He won a scholarship to Boston University Medical School, graduated with honors in 1958 and was the only black member of his class. In 1960, after completing his internship and residency at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in New York City, Sullivan obtained a fellowship in pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The following year he received a research fe llowship at Thorndike Memorial Laboratory, Harvard University Medical School. In 1963 he was named an instructorof medicine at the Harvard Medical School. A professor­ ship at the New Jersey College of Medicine and a return to Boston University followed in I 966. Besides teaching, Sullivan was co-director of hematology at the university medical center. Sullivan had hoped to become a department chairman at an established medical school by the time he was 45. He exceeded that goal at age 42, when he and a group of Morehouse College alumni began plans to create a medical school to be affiliated with Morehouse. The vision for the Morehouse Medical School focused on training doctors to serve where doctors are scarce: the inner cities and the rural South. In 1978, the school was accredited as a two-year medical preparatory program, and Sullivan was appointed dean. In 198 1, the program became the Morehouse School of Medicine, a fully accredited, four-year institution, independent of Morehouse College, and one of only three predominantly black medical schools in the United States. On March I, 1989, the Senate confirmed Sullivan as the new secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the highest-ranking black in the Bush administration and the only black in the cabinet. During the Bush admini stration, he presided over the largest federal agency, with 132,000employees and a$500billion annual budget, until his resignation in January 1993. It was, in fact, Sullivan's association with Morehouse that led to his acquaintance with the Bushes. In I 982, he invited then Vice President Bush to dedicate the first building at the Morehouse School of Medicine. His relationship with the Bushes grew from there; and in 1988, Sullivan was tapped to introduce Barbara Bush at the Republican National Conven­ tion. Although Sullivan's name will always be linked with presidential history, his academic accomplishments equal his public service. Acquaintances have said that it was because of Sullivan's ceaseless fundraising efforts and uncanny ability to persuade people that Morehouse School of Medicine became a reality. A hematologist who specializes in the treatment of blood disorders, Sullivan is home again. After leaving Washington, he returned to the Morehouse School of Medicine, where he's the president. Mary Tyler Cheek Recipient , Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Mary Tyler Cheek is a fighter. Her enemies are poverty, ignorance, apathy and other causes of human despair: racism, un wanted children and AIDS. While Cheek's dedicati on is impressive in itself, it is even more remarkable considering she was born at a time and in a society where such commitment was unusual and hardly condoned. Cheek is the daughter of Douglas Southall Freeman, southern hi storian and former editor of the Richmond News Leader. She was raised among the lettered of the early 20th century. Guests like Robert Frost and General Dwight Eisenhower visited the Freeman household when she was a child. Returning to Richmond after graduating from Vassar College, Cheek joined the Junior League, and her first tas k was organi zing old address cards of people helped by the league. In the process, she came across a card that would lead to her first community project: Pl anned Parenthood. "One couple had many changes of address on the card," Cheek remembers. "The couple were mentall y retarded and had many children. Every nine months they were forced to move when a new chilq was born and the charity of their neighbors ran out. I reali zed then to change conditions you needed to get to the root of the problem," say Cheek. Getting to the root of the problem has defined Cheek's work. Since the early 1980s, Cheek has been ac ti ve in Ri chmond race relati ons. She fo unded the Richmond Urban Forum, a social group for leaders of Richmond's black and white communities, designed to create a dialogue that had not existed between the two groups. A simple step, but a step no one thought of before her. Today, Cheek serves as the chair of the Richmond Better Housing coalition, a group dedicated to developing affordable housing for Richmonders with low incomes. She also is ac ti ve in the Richmond AIDS Ministry, lending critical support to the group from the start. A trustee of Virginia Union Uni versity and the Virgin ia director fo r the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association, Cheek truly is a bridge between Richmond 's past and future. Much of Cheek's life has also been dedicated to the art s. Her husband , the late Leslie Cheek Jr., a former director of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, is largely credited with building the institution's coll ecti ons and outreach programs. For her part, Cheek has worked to improve the arts and culture of Richmond and Virginia through educati on and ac ti ve involvement on many volunteer boards. She is currentl y a member of the board of the Maymon! Foundati on, the Jefferson Poplar Forest Fund, Richmond

MeDuffle Agriculture Handbook No. 173 Agricultural Research Service UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE \ I PRECAUTIONS WITH INSECTICIDES All insecticides are potentially hazardous to fish or other aqpiatic organisms, wildlife, domestic ani- mals, and man. The dosages needed for mosquito control are generally lower than for most other insect control, but caution should be exercised in their application. Do not apply amounts in excess of the dosage recommended for each specific use. In applying even small amounts of oil-insecticide sprays to water, consider that wind and wave action may shift the film with consequent damage to aquatic life at another location. Heavy applications of insec- ticides to ground areas such as in pretreatment situa- tions, may cause harm to fish and wildlife in streams, ponds, and lakes during runoff due to heavy rains. Avoid contamination of pastures and livestock with insecticides in order to prevent residues in meat and milk. Operators should avoid repeated or prolonged contact of insecticides with the skin. Insecticide con- centrates may be particularly hazardous. Wash off any insecticide spilled on the skin using soap and water. If any is spilled on clothing, change imme- diately. Store insecticides in a safe place out of reach of children or animals. Dispose of empty insecticide containers. Always read and observe instructions and precautions given on the label of the product. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Agriculture Handbook No.

    Chapter Two: the Effects of Confederate Deserters on the Floyd County Homefront

    CHAPTER TWO: THE EFFECTS OF CONFEDERATE DESERTERS ON THE FLOYD COUNTY HOMEFRONT The majority of Floyd County’s enlistees and conscripts served the length of their commitment and returned home only after being discharged, killed, or defeated. However, nearly 23 percent of local soldiers chose to abandon the Confederate cause, desert their units, and return to “lay out” in the woodlands and mountains of Floyd County.1 The deserters were welcomed and assisted by Floyd’s actively disloyal Unionist residents, who openly encouraged further desertion, provided food and protection for local deserters, and sometimes even hired the county’s runaway soldiers as day laborers. Family, friends, and neighbors also fed and safeguarded local deserters, allowing them to survive in mountain hideaways and elude Confederate forces sent to arrest them.2 The passively disloyal aid local deserters received from kin and neighbors was based on familial ties and friendship and not specifically designed as action intended to impede or harm the Confederacy. Nonetheless, the passive disloyalty of kin and neighbors was viewed by county loyalists as parallel to the active disloyalty of Unionists and as blatantly traitorous to the Southern cause. The various forms of community support offered to the local runaway soldiers provoked a violent reaction from Floyd’s loyalist residents and from the Virginia and Confederate governments. This conflict further divided the county and escalated its collapse as a positive portion of the Southern homefront. After the rush of excitement and “patriotism” caused by secession, Confederate forces faced the grinding and excruciating vocation of soldiering in a long and bloody war.

    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL. 38 May 18, 1923 No. 20 GUIDE TO MOSQUITO IDENTIFICATION FOR FIELD WORKERS ENGAGED IN MALARIA CONTROL IN THE UNITED STATES. By W. H. W. Komp, Assistant Sanitary Engineer, United States Public Health Servicc. Successful control of malaria by antimosquito measures is based upon a knowledge of the species concerned in malaria transmission. Recent malaria-control work undertaken by cooperating health agencies in urban communities in the southern United States has shown the necessity for controlling both nonmalaria-carrying and malaria-carrying mosquitoes, because the public frequently judges the success of malaria-control measures by the amount of reduction of the mosquito nuisance. This guide will discuss only those species which carry malaria in the United States, or which, while not carriers of infection, are sufficiently common in malarious regions to be known as pests. General Description. Mosquitoes belong to the order Diptera of the insects, the true flies, which have only two wings. The body of the mosquito is divided into three parts-head, thorax, and abdomen. The head is almost entirely composed of large compound eyes, and bears also the feelucr or antenne, and two appendages at the base of the feelers,- known as the palpi, and a long, prominent proboscis, or beak. The thorax bears the two wings and six legs, and two small appendages near the base of the wings, short knobbed stalks, known as halteres, character- istic of the true flies. The abdomen, composed of ten segments, bears no appendages except the inconspicuous sexual apparatus at the tip. Mosquitoes may be distinguished from all other two-winged insects by the possession of scales along the wing veins, a fringe of scales along the hind margin of the wings, together with the prominent proboscis or beak, which projects from the head.
