  • Former Governors of Illinois
    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818. Born in Maryland, he attended college in Pennsylvania, where he studied law, and then served in a variety of judgeships in Kentucky.

Roosevelt To the Graduating Class of the United States Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., June 12, 1939. MR. SUPERINTENDENT, FELLOW OFFICERS: L TAKE pleasure in greeting you as colleagues in the Service of the United States. You will find, as I have, that that Service never ends-in the sense that it engages the best of your ability and the best of your imagination in the endless adventure of keeping the United States safe, strong and at peace. You will find that the technique you acquired can be used in many ways, for the Army of the United States has a record of achievement in peace as well as in war. It is a little-appreciated fact that its con- structive activities have saved more lives through its peace time work and have created more wealth and well-being through its technical operations, than it has destroyed during its wars, hard-fought and victorious though they have been. With us the army does not stand for aggression, domination, or fear. It has become a corps d'elite of highly trained men whose tal- ent is great technical skill, whose training is highly cooperative, and whose capacity is used to defend the country with force when affairs require that force be used.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington. Sir: Many students apply for admission to higher institutions in other States and sections than those in which they have received their high-school preparation. Many also seek certificates from ex¬ amining and licensing boards, which have no direct means of know¬ ing the standards of the schools from which the applicants come. The demand for this information led the Bureau of Education, first in the spring of 1913 and again in the autumn of 1914, to undertake the collection and preparation of lists of high schools and academies accredited by State universities, approved by State departments of education, or recognized by examining and certifying boards and by certain other agencies. The demand proved to be even greater than had been anticipated. The first edition of the bulletin was soon exhausted. There have be^n many requests from college and uni¬ versity officers for copies of the second edition. Moreover, changes are made in these lists of accredited schools from year to year.

  • AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION at the VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE DURING the 1850S: FORERUNNER of PRACTICAL HIGHER EDUCATION in the SO
    AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION AT THE VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE DURING THE 1850s: FORERUNNER OF PRACTICAL HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH by MICHAEL MITCHELL WALLACE PHILO HUTCHINSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR KARRI HOLLEY, CO-CHAIR ARLEENE BREAUX CINDY ANN KILGO NATHANIEL SORBER STEVE TERRY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Michael Mitchell Wallace 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Throughout the first half of the 19th Century, Virginia planters, farmers, educators, and agricultural societies wrote about the need, and advocated for, formal university agricultural education. While this need was identified as early as the 1800s, it was not until the early 1850s that the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) started offering courses in agricultural chemistry. By the mid-to-late 1850s, the success of these courses led to an expanded agricultural chemistry program based on European modes; finally, an agricultural major and discipline had been created – the only program of its kind in the state of Virginia, and one of the first in the Southern states. However, the coming war at the end of 1859 would shift the focus of educators and state leaders, prohibiting the full implementation of the agricultural education plan. ii DEDICATION For Katharine Lintot “Katlin” Wallace 2005-2013 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people to thank for their help with this project over the years. The initial idea for this study came from Colonel Edwin Dooley. Ed has done an incredible job ensuring that the history of Francis H.
