When Edgar Cayce founded Atlantic University along with a group of supporters in 1930, it was truly ahead of its time. In addition to its focus on the integration of body, mind, and spirit as an im- portant means of personal transformation and achieving higher human potential, the university was unique in many respects. Atlantic University offered a coeducational program in which men and women were admitted and educated on equal terms. The university also championed the importance of international rela- tions and emphasized each individual’s contribution to the whole and the importance of service in the affairs of humankind. Although time and technology have prompted incredible changes for Atlantic University, many things remain the same. To be sure, the university’s founders could have never imagined the possibility of electronic classrooms and discussions with students and edu- cators from around the world. However, I believe that educative principles within our curriculum would continue to inspire Edgar Cayce and his contemporaries. Kevin J. Todeschi, MA These principles and ideas remain at the heart of what Atlantic President University has to offer: Atlantic University’s 1st The nature of humankind is spiritual—we are spiritual beings hav- Graduate ing a physical experience. It is not only possible but essential that each individual attempt to awaken a direct connection to her or his spiritual core. There are many dimensions or levels of human consciousness that can be examined, researched and explored. Personal appli- cation of new ideas is the best way to truly learn and grow. Whether your interest is a single course, a continuing education program, or a Master’s degree, I welcome you to the learning community that is Atlantic University! Kevin J.

  • Mary Baldwin College
    MARY BALDWIN COLLEGE JOURNAL OF SCHOLARLY AND CREATIVE ACTIVITIES, 2002 – 2004 JULY 1, 2002 – JUNE 30, 2004 published by Mary Baldwin College Dean of the College Office 540. 887. 7030 MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND DEAN OF THE COLLEGE This publication represents the fourth edition of the Scholarly and Creative Activities performed by Mary Baldwin College faculty and covers the period from July 1, 2002, to June 30, 2004. I’m delighted to have this opportunity of sharing with you such an impres- sive record of achievement by so many distinguished individuals. As you’ll discover in reviewing the information contained here, the sheer quality, quantity, and variety of work performed by the college’s faculty is nothing less than astounding. In two short years, they have produced over 400 significant contributions to scholarship, including books published by major university presses, articles in prestigious journals, and presentations and performances throughout the country and abroad. Mary Baldwin College has always been an institution that places its highest priority on excellence of instruction. As a result, the achievements that you are about to see on the following pages are all the more impressive because they so frequently represent work that involved and benefited our own students — both at the graduate and undergraduate levels — and that enriched our academic environment in countless ways. True scholarship may be regarded as – not the memorization of endless facts, the mastery of inconsequential details, or the publication of learned treatises that few, if any, read – but as the capacity for making unexpected connections, the ability to see clear patterns where others have seen only chaos, and the willingness to build on the achieve- ments of earlier generations of scholars.
