  • Advancement of the Modern State Through Education: Bulgarians at Robert College 1863-1912
    Advancement of the Modern State through Education: Bulgarians at Robert College 1863-1912 Paulin Draganova June 2, 2018 Draganova 2 INTRODUCTION In the struggle of Bulgaria preceding the independence and after, the education Bulgarian students received at Robert College influenced the future direction of Bulgaria as a nation-state. The opportunity that Robert College provided was unique and appealing to Bulgarian students because of the location of the college and the quality of its education. Konstantin Stoilov, Stefan Panaretov, Todor Ivanchov, and Ivan Bagarov exemplify the types of men that graduated Robert College and actively had the opportunity to impact Bulgaria through their careers. Robert College’s qualities as a college that was American and taught curriculum that was American provided the ideas of modernity to their students. Through the use of ethnic identity to group students and the promotion of Bulgarian, the vernacular language for Bulgarian students in an academic and recognized setting, Robert College fostered nationalism that strengthened Bulgaria’s political and social environment to establish an independent democratic, market- oriented, modern nation-state. ROBERT COLLEGE’S IMPACT ON BULGARIA CAME FROM SO MANY BULGARIANS ATTENDING THE COLLEGE When Robert College was founded in 1863, Bulgaria was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Bulgarian students attended it before Bulgaria had gained independence from the Ottoman Empire and in the following years when the Third Bulgarian State was established. Robert College opened in Constantinople at a time when there was no quality education being offered to the Bulgarian subjects of the Ottoman Empire. Robert College provided an education that was located close to the Bulgarian provinces, and the education was at a high level, on par with American colleges at the time.

Individual students achieve their full academic potential, inspired to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens of the global community. YOUR COMMUNITY! YOUR NEWS! 1 Message from Pre/Primary School October Events in Pre and Primary School We celebrated our Autumn Festival on the 14th. We started the day with an assembly organised by Years Reception, One and Two. They told the whole school about autumn traditions around the world, for example Thanksgiving and Halloween. In the spirit of thanksgiving, we collected dry foods, milk, fruit juice, cheese and toiletries. The Year 6 chil- dren from the Etiler Campus delivered our donations to the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Little Sisters distribute the goods to the needy in Istanbul. On the same day, it was Breast Cancer Awareness Day. We had a Bake Sale to raise money for this important cause. The Pre, Primary and Secondary school parents baked cakes and the Secondary school students sold the cakes to the Pre and Primary students at morning play. Thank you to Years Reception, One and Two for organising a super assembly, Efe (Head of the Secondary School Student Council) for arranging the Bake Sale, and all the parents who supported the school in our two charitable causes on the same day! The PTA were very busy this month. They set up their Board of Control and their committees of Campus, Communica- tion, Curriculum, Social and Charity.
