Smokies Signal October 2019 LocSec Notes John Raymond, SMM Local Secretary I would wish everyone a Happy Fall if the weather had not been so capricious lately! Perhaps that will have changed by the time you read this, but at any rate I wanted to point out two important dates that are covered in more detail elsewhere in this newsletter. The testing date on November 9 will provide an opportunity for the group to grow and the Christmas gathering / book swap on December 14 will give folks a chance to relax and bond. Many thanks to the Browns for arranging the venue for both of these events and to Baker Ring for finding time in his schedule to come and proctor the exam. It is the desire of your Executive Committee to address the needs and interests of all and we ask that you do not hesitate to express any suggestions or concerns. We are also seeking those who are interested in serving the group in a leadership role since a volunteer organization is only as strong as the participation of its members. There are a number of positions available, including a member-at-large slot on the Committee, so there are many ways to help. Please make your willingness known to any of the current officers or appointees and details will be provided. Thanks in advance to all who step forward! Christmas Party The SMM annual Christmas Party returns to the Meadows Condominiums Clubhouse Saturday, December 14 at 7914 Gleason Dr. in Knoxville starting at 6 PM. SMM will provide the main course and beverages. Guests are welcome to bring a side dish or dessert. There has typically been a book swap where you bring a wrapped book and everyone then draws some new reading material from the pile. If you have participated in a poll, submitted a photo or other newsletter material, we have teased you with the chance to win a prize in the end-of-year drawing to be held at the December 14 Christmas party. We are going to increase your chances to win by granting another entry to anyone who participates in an activity for the rest of the year (Morristown dinner, Cheers and Jeers, monthly meeting, Wednesday lunch and the Christmas party itself), up to 10 entries per person. What will that get the winner? • Two consolation prizes of either a Mensa store item up to $25 or meal paid at a 2020 restaurant meeting up to that amount • Grand prize (Ex Comm members and newsletter editor not eligible) of choice of: 1 registration for 2020 Annual Gathering, 2 registrations for a 2020 Regional Gathering, or a 3 year renewal of membership. Vouchers and Mensa Admissions Test You should have gotten an email with a code to invite someone to take the Mensa Admissions Test free up through December 31. Please use it to encourage a smart friend, relative, or co-worker to take the test. Usually a test is set up after there have been some requests to take it, but with this excellent offer SMM has arranged for a test at 1 PM on Saturday, November 9. The location is the clubhouse at Meadows Condominiums, 7914 Gleason Dr. Knoxville. Because SMM does not have a test proctor, this will be administered by former Region RVC Baker Ring (now Middle TN LocSec). If you might consider being a proctor in the future, please drop by to see what test-day preparations are required. We will have a casual snack reception following the exam that members are welcome to join around 3 PM. If you are not bringing a test taker you can bring a snack. Volume 42 Issue 4 Page 2 Smokies Signal October 2019 My Month Among the Puzzle Mavens You may have gotten an email sent to Mensa members with text like the research study below and filed it with the past ones about TV show casting calls. I had replied and didn’t properly apply for Challenge 1 (which the next invite email said had over 800 Mensans among the participants), so signed up again for Challenge 2 in June. I was given a random account name and assigned two incognito teammates who both happened to be dog-owning IT professionals. We agreed to post notes about our suppositions and conclusions during the week and vote on the answer if there wasn’t agreement. Each week we were assigned a set of problems that would be due that weekend. They would post the answers without analysis and post the following week’s set. Having clicked a non-disclosure agreement about the problems, I will reveal that some of the problem types were: • Complex patterns where there might be a grid of images and multiple-choice options of the missing piece. Although I usually see patterns in puzzle books, I was never able to reason through half the puzzles of this kind. • Threat assessments where you have information people have submitted about a person and you decide what level of danger the individual poses to the community or specific other people in your department. I think we agreed with the official levels the first time, then had one where we were too cautious (gave a higher threat rating than deserved) and later overcompensated and used that experience to underweight another one. • Identify use of some arcane item (multiple choice answer). Don’t think there was one that I knew for sure what it was. • Statements such as “Truth is beauty and you are ugly so you must be lying” would be given and you would choose one of the multiple statements that use the same logic, which were not difficult. • Analysis of a political situation where you have to choose what actions to take based on limited resources (including time), and write justification for your choices. These usually had some team discussions and we came up with reasonable plans. Some problems gave you some guessing data (you think this will happen 25% of the time, or what has happened in the past) along with an analysis of what will happen in the future (40% of the people are allied with this group and have a 50% chance of doing something). Two of us thought the guess data was a red herring and should be ignored for future purposes and the other person basically laid out his reasoning but didn’t convince us. Answer key the next week showed the “right” way was to factor in the guess. • There was one big puzzle like a “Clue” game with a number of characters, homes, pets, favorite things, modes of transportation, etc. and the team had to assemble all the connections and colors of things based on a list of statements like “the vegan hears the owner of the red house drive by while sipping a latte with her white cat”. • Another that happened only once was a zero-sum strategy game where all teams had equal resources and the object was to divide your resources in a fixed number of activities where you compete against all other teams and try to get the highest score. So if you put 100% of the resources in slot B you are guaranteed at least a draw and probably a win there but also guarantee a loss or tie on all the other activities. I would have said there is no “right” answer as you are guessing that all the other teams are analyzing in a way to give them the best chance (as opposed to some pro sports analogy where you try to be entertainingly close but lose enough to get the first draft pick). Volume 42 Issue 4 Page 3 Smokies Signal October 2019 • But the most remarkable one to me was the geolocation puzzles where you were shown an image (sometimes with key clues blanked out) and asked for continent, country, city, street, and year.

    Past Governors of Tennessee 489

    PAST GOVERNORS OF TENNESSEE 489 Past Governors Of Tennessee William Blount, 1790-1795, Democrat (territorial governor). Born in North Carolina in 1749, Blount served in the Continental Congress 1783-1784 and 1786-1787. In 1790, President Washington appointed him governor of the newly formed Territory South of the River Ohio, formerly part of North Carolina. While governor, Blount was also Indian affairs superinten- dent and negotiated, among others, the Treaty of the Holston with the Cherokees. His new government faced formidable problems, intensified by conflicts created by European/Indian contact. In 1795, Blount called a constitutional convention to organize the state, and Tennessee entered the Union the next year. Blount represented the new state in the U.S. Senate, and after expulsion from that body on a conspiracy charge, served in the state Senate. He died in 1800. John Sevier, 1796-1801; 1803-1809, Democrat. Born in Virginia in 1745, Sevier as a young man was a suc- cessful merchant. Coming to a new settlement on the Holston River in 1773, he was one of the first white settlers of Tennessee. He was elected governor of the state of Franklin at the end of the Revolutionary War, and as such became the first governor in what would be Tennessee. When statehood was attained in 1796, Sevier was elected its first governor. He served six terms totaling twelve years. While governor he negoti- ated with the Indian tribes to secure additional lands for the new state and opened new roads into the area to encourage settlement. At the close of his sixth term he was elected to the state Senate, and then to Congress.

  • Origins of Tennessee County Names

    Origins of Tennessee County Names

    Tennessee Blue Book About Tennessee Origins of Tennessee County Names As Indian treaties opened up the land that is now Tennessee for settlement, settlers rushed in to clear farms and establish communities. The new inhabitants sought protection for life and property and other benefits of government—courts of law, militia organizations, and legal title to newly acquired land. Counties were quickly organized once migration into the frontier region had begun. Access to the seat of government was a main difficulty for the pioneers, since it was necessary to travel to the county seat to conduct legal business or to present oneself to the court. Over time, residents in areas remote from the county seat would petition the General Assembly for a new county centered closer to their homes. Twenty-two new counties were formed between 1806 and 1819, and twenty-five between 1820 and 1840. This process of carving counties out of the land began in the 1780s and ended a century later. Counties were named for military heroes, American statesmen, physical features, European noblemen, and Indian tribes and settlements, and one was named for a woman. Some counties were authorized but never organized, some organized and then abolished. At present, Tennessee has ninety-five counties, each with its own unique story to tell. Anderson County Created 1801 from Knox and Grainger counties; named in honor of Joseph Anderson (1757– 1847), U.S. senator, judge of the Superior Court of the Territory South of the River Ohio (later Tennessee), and U.S. comptroller of the treasury. Bedford County Created 1807 from Rutherford County and Indian lands; named in honor of Thomas Bedford, Jr.
  • A Case Study of the Founding Years of Liberty Hall Academy: the Struggle Between Enlightenment and Protestant Values on the Virginia Frontier

    A Case Study of the Founding Years of Liberty Hall Academy: the Struggle Between Enlightenment and Protestant Values on the Virginia Frontier

    Journal of Backcountry Studies A Case Study of the Founding Years of Liberty Hall Academy: The Struggle Between Enlightenment and Protestant Values on the Virginia Frontier BY JOSHUA OWENS, LIBERTY UNIVERSITY The history of higher education during America’s Revolutionary years offers a rich commentary on the competing ideologies of the colonists. An understanding of the basic elements and transformations in higher education during this time can shed light on the chronic debate over Enlightenment ideals overtaking traditional Protestant mentalities. Traditional Protestant education typically focused on conformity or unity within a particular religious branch or cultural tradition. The encroaching Enlightenment, however, sought to free education from these limitations, and provided students with a platform to think independently. This substantial educational transformation found roots in Virginia as well. Until 1770, the College of William and Mary remained the only institution of higher education in the southern colonies. In 1776, the Presbytery of Hanover founded Liberty Hall Academy in Augusta County, Virginia. This case-study of Liberty Hall’s founding years reveals several important factors concerning its unique curriculum and overall significance in the new Republic between 1776 and 1793. Liberty Hall operated under unique societal conditions. As a Presbyterian school founded in the midst of America’s establishment of democracy, Liberty Hall provides an excellent glimpse into the ideological struggle between Protestant roots and Enlightenment ideals facing both higher education and society at large. Further, Liberty Hall is one of the few schools at the time catering almost exclusively to those in the Virginia frontier. Many studies focus on the dichotomy between Enlightenment and Protestant ideals in the established coastal areas, but little has been done on its frontier impact.

ABSTRACT WILLIAM BOWEN CAMPBELL: THE MAKING OF A TENNESSEE UNIONIST Lowell Hagewood '’William Bowen Campbell: The Making of a Tennessee Unionist" provides a microcosmic paradigm of the nature of Unionism in Middle Tennessee by exploring the political career of Campbell. How could Middle Tennessee have remained so decisively loyal to the Union for so long and have still succumbed to an eleventh-hour conversion to secession? Did the region’s planters deceive the yeomanry with racism or conspiratorial anti-republican propaganda or both? On the other hand, was the region's secession inevitable but only delayed because of economic and geographical considerations which in no way undermined the commonality of racial interests all white Tennesseans shared? The biographical information presented in this project is more interpretative than narrative with an emphasis on the protagonist's ideological make-up.

The last comprehensive list of Members of the Tennessee General Assembly was published in 1890, in the book Official and Political Manual of the State of Tennessee by Charles A. Miller. This Manual listed Members of the Tennessee General Assembly State Senators and Representatives from the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) and the First General Assembly (March 28, 1796) thru Forty-seventh General Assembly which adjourned September 21, 1891 on pages 197 – 248. Listed is every Senator of the Tennessee General Assembly from the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) to the One Hundredth –Sixth General Assembly which adjourned June 10, 2010. I have also found most members of the elusive Tenth General Assembly (1813 – 1815 because there was no printed or written Senate Journal found) in the book Messages of the Governors of Tennessee volume 1, 1796 – 1821 by Robert H. White. Listed at the beginning of each General Assembly is the number of that Assembly, the city where the Assembly was convened, dates convened for regular and special sessions, dates of adjournment of all sessions, the Speaker of the Senate, and the Chief Clerk if known.
