  • ABSTRACT BARR, KRISPIN WAGONER. the Historical Legacy of a Secret Society at Duke University
    ABSTRACT BARR, KRISPIN WAGONER. The Historical Legacy of a Secret Society at Duke University (1913-1971): Cultural Hegemony and the Tenacious Ideals of the “Big Man on Campus.” (Under the direction of Dr. Audrey Jaeger). Collegiate secret societies, as distinguished from Greek-letter fraternal organizations, enjoyed prominence within many American campus communities from the early nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century (Baird, 1879; Hitchcock, 1863; Slosson, 1910; Veysey, 1965). The establishment of these elite groups preceded the maturation of university administrative structures responsible for managing students’ extracurricular life, as well as the mass democratization of American higher education which occurred after World War II (Rudolph, 1990; Cohen, 2010). The presence of prestigious secret societies is documented and celebrated in college yearbooks and newspapers, reflecting a period in higher education’s past when the hegemony of the white, male prevailed in student culture and fostered the composite ideal of the “Big Man on Campus” (“B.M.O.C.”) – the handsome varsity athlete, fraternity man, and club president destined for success in American public life. Although collegiate secret societies “disappeared” on many campuses in the Civil Rights Era amidst accusations of elitism and reactions against established white, Anglo- Saxon Protestant norms, their legacy lingers into the twenty-first century, along with many unanswered questions about their historical role as a source of student power on campus. Their roots can be traced to the prestigious all-male boarding schools of the Northeastern United States in the late nineteenth century where patterns of upper-class masculine socialization developed. Due to a dearth of historical research on this topic, however, institutional leaders are challenged to understand the origins, purpose, and legacy of this type of student association that still holds meaning for students and other stakeholders in some campus communities.

  • The Origin and Development of Prison Fellowship International
    The Origin and Development of Prison Fellowship International: Pluralism, Ecumenism and American Leadership in the Evangelical World 1974-2006 Kendrick Oliver (University of Southampton) In spring 1974, as Watergate prosecutors began to issue indictments against Nixon administration aides and the US House of Representatives considered whether the President himself should be impeached, the prominent liberal writer Richard Goodwin visited Washington, DC. The mood was sombre, but even in the ‘grimmest gathering of political sophisticates,’ he noted, a laugh could still be guaranteed. One only had to refer to the religious conversion of Charles Colson, former Special Counsel to the President. Colson was widely associated with the partisan excesses of the Nixon administration and with its efforts – some of them illegal - to undermine and stigmatize any sources of opposition to the Presidential will. The Wall Street Journal had referred to him as ‘Nixon’s hatchet man’.1 As prosecutors closed in, however, Colson announced he had accepted Jesus Christ into his life. Goodwin observed that the story ‘was sure to touch off an instant competition of Buchwald- style one-liners, tinged, nevertheless, by a slight underglow of professional appreciation for what appears to me a supreme con.’2 Doubts about the authenticity of Colson’s conversion never entirely disappeared. Within a couple of years, after Colson had served a seven-month prison term, published his conversion narrative, Born Again, and established a ministry directed towards prison inmates,

The undertaking grew out of the writer’s intense interest in religious history and the absence of any general account of the Baptists of this State; the effort throughout has been to treat Baptist history alone, and to give only enough political and religious background to present a clear view of the Baptists themselves.
