  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

  • A L U M N a E M a G a Z I N E Volume 79
    ALUMNAE MAGAZINE VOLUME 79 NUMBER 1 WINTER 2007/2008 NOTE FROM THE hen I was a high school student looking at colleges, I was dragged kicking and screaming to look at Sweet Briar. Sweet Briar touted the refrain that women’s colleges offered far more opportunities than coeducational schools did for Wwomen to become leaders. I was one of those students who matriculated despite the fact, not because it offered single-sex education, and I took the leadership mantra with a grain of salt. After all, I attended a small Catholic high school where everyone seemed to be involved in everything and I could not imagine that women, especially me, needed help with anything. (This was the early 1980s, and I was only 17!) Not until I attended law school did I really begin to recognize what Sweet Briar had given me. Then, as now, College leaders led by example and provided ample opportunities for the studentsalumnae to take a lead somewhere, association somehow. I was involved in presidentall sorts of campus activities as a student and remained involved with Sweet Briar in some capacity since my graduation because I believe so strongly in the Sweet Briar Promise. In my years on the Alumnae Association Board, I have served under the leadership of two fabulous presidents, each of whom I admire for her wisdom, diplomacy, and dedication to our alma mater. I feel privileged Being a leader does not to have been given the opportunity to follow in their footsteps. Although I have served on mean that you have to several boards in my professional and residential communities, Sweet Briar’s Alumnae Board is special to me in the way that Sweet Briar is special to each of us, but for reasons we cannot be in the position at the always articulate.
