Jeremiah Chamberlain, D. D., the first President, went into office in 1823. In 1824, the Board of Trustees, according to an ar- rangement with the Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky, procured an Act of the Legislature modifying its charter, so as to secure to the Synod, on its payment of $20,000 to the funds of the Institution, the right of appointing the Board of Trustees. This condition having, in 1830, been completely fulfilled on the part of the Synod, all the members of the Board have, since that period, been appointed by the Synod, as their terms of office, from time to time, have expired. One-third of the Board are appointed each year. Dr. Chamberlain resigned his office in 1826, and the Reverend Gideon Blackburn, D. D., succeeded him in 1827, the office having, in the meantime, been temporarily filled by the Rev. David C. Proc- tor. On the resignation of Dr. Blackburn, in 1830, John C. Young, D, D., was elected. Dr, Young died in office June 23d, 1857, and on the 6th of August following, Rev. L. W. Green, D. D., was elected his successor, and entered upon his duties January 1st, 1858. Dr. Green died in office May 26th, 1863, and on the 15th of October fol- lowing, Rev. Wm. L. Breckinridge, D. D. was elected President. He accepted, the 29th of the same month, and immediately entered upon the duties of his office. THE FUNDS. The original amount paid by the Synod to obtain the right of ap- pointing the Board, was entirely consumed in the buildings, apparat- us, library and current expenses, and in 1 830 the College was wholly destitute of means. Since that period, funds have been contributed by the liberality of various individuals, which, as invested by the Board in stocks of various kinds, and notes, form an endowment equivalent to about $105,000. The funds are annually increasing from legacies and donations. The Synod, at its meeting in Lebanon. ]858j authorized the Board of Trustees to make application to the Churches for the sum of $50,000, to be appropriated to the erection of addition-

Shakers and Jerkers: Letters from the “Long Walk,” 1805, Part 1 By Douglas L. Winiarski*a Reports of a bizarre new religious phenomenon made their way over the mountains from Tennessee during the summer and fall of 1804. For several years, readers in the eastern states had been eagerly consuming news of the Great Revival, the powerful succession of Presbyterian sacramental festivals and Methodist camp meetings that played a formative role in the development of the southern Bible Belt and the emergence of early American evangelicalism. Letters from the frontier frequently included vivid descriptions of the so-called “falling exercise,” in which the bodies of revival converts crumpled to the ground during powerful sermon performances on the terrors of hell. But an article that appeared in the Virginia Argus on October 24, 1804, announced the sudden emergence of a deeply troubling new form of convulsive somatic distress.

Spaniards led by Coronado traversed what is now the State of Oklahoma 67 years before the first English settlement in Virginia and 79 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. All of the land now in Oklahoma except a little strip known as the panhandle was acquired by the United States from France in the Louisiana Purchase. Early in the nineteenth century the United States moved the five civilized tribes, the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles, from southeastern states to lands west of the Mississippi River, the title to which was transferred to the tribes in exchange for part of their lands in the East.

The population was quickly expanding into the trans-Appalachian Westj the nation was firmly establishing itself as an independent country and a world force; increasingly the national philos- ophy became the idea that the nation had a divine origin, a divine inspiration, and a divine authority over the North American continent and any other area of the world to which it might expand.* The nation still reflected the thought of its early settlers, especially the Puritans of New England, There were fears among these people that the deistic-Unitarian influences of the late eighteenth century might corrupt the foundations of religion.
