  • Virginia: Birthplace of America
    VIRGINIA: BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICA Over the past 400 years AMERICAN EVOLUTION™ has been rooted in Virginia. From the first permanent American settlement to its cultural diversity, and its commerce and industry, Virginia has long been recognized as the birthplace of our nation and has been influential in shaping our ideals of democracy, diversity and opportunity. • Virginia is home to numerous national historic sites including Jamestown, Mount Vernon, Monticello, Montpelier, Colonial Williamsburg, Arlington National Cemetery, Appomattox Court House, and Fort Monroe. • Some of America’s most prominent patriots, and eight U.S. Presidents, were Virginians – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson. • Virginia produced explorers and innovators such as Lewis & Clark, pioneering physician Walter Reed, North Pole discoverer Richard Byrd, and Tuskegee Institute founder Booker T. Washington, all whose genius and dedication transformed America. • Bristol, Virginia is recognized as the birthplace of country music. • Virginia musicians Maybelle Carter, June Carter Cash, Ella Fitzgerald, Patsy Cline, and the Statler Brothers helped write the American songbook, which today is interpreted by the current generation of Virginian musicians such as Bruce Hornsby, Pharrell Williams, and Missy Elliot. • Virginia is home to authors such as Willa Cather, Anne Spencer, Russell Baker, and Tom Wolfe, who captured distinctly American stories on paper. • Influential women who hail from the Commonwealth include Katie Couric, Sandra Bullock, Wanda Sykes, and Shirley MacLaine. • Athletes from Virginia – each who elevated the standards of their sport – include Pernell Whitaker, Moses Malone, Fran Tarkenton, Sam Snead, Wendell Scott, Arthur Ashe, Gabrielle Douglas, and Francena McCorory.

  • Slaves at the University of Virginia
    Gayle M. Schulman, an avocational local historian, conducted this research during the early months of 2003 and presented it to the African American Genealogy Group of Charlottesville/ Albemarle in May of that year. Her interest in this topic grew from her research on Isabella Gibbons (a teacher who spent part of her life as a slave on the grounds of the University of Virginia) and the community in which she lived. This essay is an overview of the information collected from vital statistics, census data, church records, University of Virginia Archives, and faculty manuscripts. A more extensive research project on the same topic is currently being conducted by Catherine Neale, a student at the University of Virginia. [2005] Slaves at the University of Virginia Gayle M. Schulman1 There is no sign of the vegetable garden, hen house, well, or the outbuildings once on the land. The rear of the three-storied house, glimpsed through the trees, is partially masked by boxwoods. On the lower level of the garden one passes an English Gothic pinnacle to find steps up to a gate through a serpentine wall into an upper garden; there one can see the home’s second story door with a handsome transom window like half of a daisy, or perhaps a fine piece of oriental embroidery. Tucked beneath the steep stairways to this grand back entry is a solid door leading into the cellar. The oldest part of this cellar is divided by a central chimney that is flanked by two rooms on one side and a larger room, the original kitchen, on 2 the other.

Its student body was composed almost exclusively of the favored sons of the richest and most influential men of the region. As such, Jefferson’s University served not only as a mirror reflecting elite Southern culture but as an active agent of its ideological, and social development. Its first years saw a litany of violent outbursts that drew much comment at the time and indeed much focus even today. While Thomas Jefferson and the early professors did their best to get the institution off the ground, a casual observer could be excused for thinking that many of its students were just as fervently trying to tear it down brick

  • Hospitals and Clinics 81
    Hospitals and Clinics 81 Chapter Three Hospitals and Clinics INTRODUCT I ON The attack on the Pentagon killed 125 Department of Defense (DoD) personnel outright, including 33 Navy and 22 Army active-duty deaths. Seventy civilians, including nine contractors, also lost their lives. No construction workers were among those killed because they were all working in another area at the time of the crash. Of the many injured survivors who made it out of the building, 125 sought medical care at area hospitals and clinics on 9/11. Approximately 64 were treated and released, and about 61 had physical injuries serious enough to be ad- mitted to medical facilities. Dozens more sought treatment for minor injuries dur- ing the remainder of the week. Military and civilian hospitals treated and admitted both military and civilian casualties. By 15 September, only 20 patients remained in local hospitals. (See the discussion of discrepancies in official casualty counts in Chapter 1.)1(p314),2(pB-15),3–8 Immediately after American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, area hospitals with previous agreements to work together in a crisis contacted one another. Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) communicated with military and civilian support hospitals in Northern Virginia; Washing- ton, DC; and Maryland. WRAMC’s emergency room staff had been meeting monthly with emergency personnel from hospitals in the DC Hospital Asso- ciation, and communications had been tested every day regarding bed avail- ability and other contingency concerns.

  • Henry Tutwiler, Alva Woods, and the Problem Of
    SOUTHERN HONOR AND NORTHERN PIETY: HENRY TUTWILER, ALVA WOODS, AND THE PROBLEM OF DISCIPLINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, 1831-1837 by KEVIN LEE WINDHAM A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Kevin Lee Windham 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The University of Alabama opened its doors in April 1831, and over the next six years, the first president, Alva Woods, was confronted by numerous episodes of student misdeeds. Knife fights, dueling, shootings, slave baiting, hazing, the torture of animals, and the destruction of property were common events on campus. Woods—a Baptist minister from Vermont—was never able to end the troubles; in fact, student defiance ultimately led to mass resignations by the faculty and the installation of a new president. However, the traditional reading of Woods’ tenure at Alabama has not taken into account deeper issues. At the heart of Woods’ difficulty was a contest for discipline. He came to Tuscaloosa determined to establish a religiously orthodox vision of virtuous conduct for the future leaders of Alabama. Woods himself was the product of New England’s theological schism between Calvinism and Unitarianism. At that time he was mentored by his uncle Leonard Woods, who instilled in him a challenge to counter the spread of liberal theology by teaching the ethics of Christian piety. This was the charge that he pursued first at Columbian College, then as interim president of Brown University, as president of Transylvania University, and finally at Alabama.

  • Bearing His Full Name and Practicing Medicine in Chicago
    MEMORIAL Xxi rectitude and dignity. Among the children who survive him is a son bearing his full name and practicing medicine in Chicago. GENERAL WILLIAM C. GORGAS. William C. Gorgas was born in Alabama on October 3rd, 1854. He was the son af General Josiah Gorgas, the Chief of Ordnance of the Southern Confederacy and after the Civil War the President of the University of the South. Gorgas was graduated from the Uni- versity of the South with the degree of A.B. in 1875 and from the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1879. He entered the Medical Department of the Army on June 16th, 1880, as first lieutenant, became captain in 1885 and major in 1898. In early life Gorgas had had yellow fever. In those days yellow fever was rightly dreaded. As Gorgas was the only immune among the officers of the Medical Department with the exception of Surgeon-General Stern- berg he was naturally the first one to be thought of for duty that involved exposure to that disease. Having accompanied the expedi- tion against Santiago, he was soon appointed Chief Sanitary Officer of Havana, which office he held from 1898 to 1902. Walter Reed, at that time a major in the Medical Department, was first sent by General Sternberg to Cuba to study yellow fever in 1900 and in June of that year was appointed president of the board of which Carroll, Agramonte and Lazar were the other mem- bers. Gorgas from his position naturally cooperated with the board (Reed acknowledges valuable suggestions from him), but his other duties forbade active participation in the researches which resulted in the memorable discovery of the mode of infection in yellow fever and of the proper means of exterminating that disease.

  • Woodrow Wilson's Hidden Stroke of 1919: the Impact of Patient
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 39 (1):E6, 2015 Woodrow Wilson’s hidden stroke of 1919: the impact of patient-physician confidentiality on United States foreign policy Richard P. Menger, MD,1 Christopher M. Storey, MD, PhD,1 Bharat Guthikonda, MD,1 Symeon Missios, MD,1 Anil Nanda, MD, MPH,1 and John M. Cooper, PhD2 1Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University of Health Sciences, Shreveport, Louisiana; and 2University of Wisconsin Department of History, Madison, Wisconsin World War I catapulted the United States from traditional isolationism to international involvement in a major European conflict. Woodrow Wilson envisaged a permanent American imprint on democracy in world affairs through participa- tion in the League of Nations. Amid these defining events, Wilson suffered a major ischemic stroke on October 2, 1919, which left him incapacitated. What was probably his fourth and most devastating stroke was diagnosed and treated by his friend and personal physician, Admiral Cary Grayson. Grayson, who had tremendous personal and professional loyalty to Wilson, kept the severity of the stroke hidden from Congress, the American people, and even the president himself. During a cabinet briefing, Grayson formally refused to sign a document of disability and was reluctant to address the subject of presidential succession. Wilson was essentially incapacitated and hemiplegic, yet he remained an active president and all messages were relayed directly through his wife, Edith. Patient-physician confidentiality superseded national security amid the backdrop of friendship and political power on the eve of a pivotal juncture in the history of American foreign policy. It was in part because of the absence of Woodrow Wilson’s vocal and unwavering support that the United States did not join the League of Nations and distanced itself from the international stage.
