  • William Faulkner, Richard M. Weaver, and the Crisis of Modernity
    Divine Philosophies of Two Southern Gentlemen: William Faulkner, Richard M. Weaver, and the Crisis of Modernity Submitted by Vickie Lynn Caudle A thesis submitted i n partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Northeastern State University December 2015 ii Divine Philoso ph ies of Two Southern Gen tlemen: Will iam Faulkner, Richard M. Weave r, and the Crisis of Moderni ty Vickie Lynn Caudle Th is th esis is approv .for recom mend ation to the Graduate College / / 2 Dean, Graduate College, Date 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the response in writing of two Southern writers, William Faulkner and Richard M. Weaver, to the crisis of modernity. In looking at some of the changes brought about in the society as well as problems created, these two Southern sons respond to the same and offer some solutions through Platonic ideas or concepts of the metaphysical as is shown in their narrative and philosophical work. Two of the early works of Faulkner, The Unvanquished and Sanctuary, as well as three of the essays of Weaver, "The Phaedrus and the Nature of Rhetoric," "To Write the Truth," and "The Power of the Word," are considered. Weaver offers a powerful critique of modernity and the problems associated with it. Faulkner's offering is less direct, as his is through the creative response of narrative. Both demonstrate how the evils of modernity can be countered by a combination of dialectic and right rhetoric rooted in a commitment to the ideas of the metaphysical. 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who has listened to, encouraged, and supported me throughout this endeavor.

  • 97Th Infantry Division
    Memoirs of WWII –97th Infantry Division It has been the experience of all veterans that time brings a blurring of detail, that memories are less exact after events, and that first hand recordings in print on the spot serve best to put down in black and white what happened. ~ Unknown writer. REFLECTIONS ON THE 97TH INFANTRY DIVISION On his 90th Birthday Brigadier General Sherman V Hasbrouck As Told to J.W. Redding 18th June 1988 PREFACE The 97th Infantry Division was originally organized in September, 1918, and saw action in France during WWI. It was demobilized 20 November of the same year and reconstituted as an organized reserve unit. The Division was reactivated 25 February 1943 at Camp Swift, Texas, under the command of Maj Gen Louis A Craig. Brig Gen Julien Barnes was the Division Artillery Commander. The 303d Inf Regt and the 303d FA Bn were the only units with the reactivated division that can boast of battle streamers from World War I. The Division went through basic and unit training at Camp Swift. It took their physical fitness test there. The artillery battalions took their AGF firing test at Camp Bowie, Texas. During the latter part of October, 1943, the Division departed Camp Swift for the Louisiana Maneuver area, spending the next 3 months in the field on division exercises. Following the Louisiana Maneuver period, the Division was transferred to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri where it continued with unit training. While at Ft Leonard Wood, Gen Craig was assigned to the command of the 23d Corps which he relinquished to take command of a combat division in Europe.

    By PAUL KINGSBURY, BA’80 The thorny legacy of Vanderbilt’s Fugitives and Agrarians Pride and Prejudice t’s one of the most famous and cherished photographs in Vanderbilt’s history. Allen Tate, Merrill Moore, Robert Penn Warren, John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson. Five balding white men, dressed impeccably in suits and ties, are seated outdoors, Iobviously posed by photographer Joe Rudis to appear as if lost in con- versation. Despite the artifice, the subjects seem relaxed and even playful, what with Moore practically sitting on Tate’s lap, Warren lean- ing in as if to insert a word edgewise, and the entire group looking to Allen Tate as if expecting a clever remark. It was a happy moment for the old friends. It was 1956, and after three decades of being ignored by the University, the Fugitives had returned to campus in glory for a colloquium devoted to their literary work.

  • Revolution on Campus
    1 Revolution on Campus The young girl who sidled into my office looked as if she had fought her way through a riot of enemies. Her brown hair was beaten into disorder, with here and there a desperate bobby pin hanging on by the tips of its fingers. Her slip hung well below her skirt as if deliberately yanked there. Straps snarled into sight at her shoulder. When she said, "I have brought some poems," her voice had the remote hush of someone speaking from an echo chamber. But the poems were wonderful meditations of whales and fleas and angels startled from telephone wires in small-town alleys. It was then I noticed that her eyes completely possessed her body and gave a central shape of living brown to a face whose features otherwise had hardly any relation to each other. Behind those eyes, I later discovered, was the true, glittering imagination of the artist. Physically and temperamentally, she would have seemed to many the embodiment of Greenwich Village. What had brought her to a university? A new thing is happening in America, something which gives such a talented girl encouragement and direction, something which may affect the whole course of our literature. For now the young writer has the middle ground of the college, with its other young writers and its teachers of writing, who are usually writers themselves. No longer does such a beginning poet have to choose between the fiery but often destroying incandescence of New York and the lonely spark of his own isolation in any of ten thousand towns across the continent.
