A. Simpson, Chair (CSUS) Professor Randolph Bergstrom (UCSB) Professor Christopher J. Castaneda (CSUS) Professor Mary Hancock (UCSB) June 2009 The dissertation of Paul Jason Prescott Sandul is approved. _____________________________________________ Randolph Bergstrom, UCSB _____________________________________________ Christopher J. Castaneda, CSUS _____________________________________________ Mary Hancock, UCSB _____________________________________________ Lee M. A. Simpson, Committee Chair, CSUS June 2009 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people helped me while I worked on my dissertation. Professors and faculty at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) and University California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) at every point provided me with support and vital insights. Professors Mona Siegel and Harold Marcuse, for example, introduced me to memory studies while Professor Charles Postel took time to read early essays and drafts and make important suggestions. My committee members were, to be sure, especially important. Professor Christopher J. Castaneda, I swear, never leaves his office. Anytime I ever needed advice, council, or simply to talk, I could always find Professor Castaneda’s door open and, regardless of how busy he seemed, an open chair. He always provided keen insight, critical and helpful commentary, and, most important for a secluded graduate student, many lunches at a good restaurant. Professor Randolph Bergstrom first introduced me and guided my original inquires into the intersection of place, memory, and history. With the quickest and sharpest wit of any person I have ever known, his guidance was indispensable, his support unwavering, and direction always needed.

  • HISTORY of USC OTOLARYNGOLOGY by George B
    HISTORY OF USC OTOLARYNGOLOGY By George B. Stoneman, M.D. The University of Southern California was founded in 1880. The College of Medicine of USC was organized May 2, 1885, and in the spring of 1888 the first class was graduated. Although degrees were granted by USC, the College of Medicine remained independent of the University, funding operations by donations from the faculty and student tuition. Instruction was started in a reconverted winery building at 445 Aliso Street in Los Angeles, which was immediately adjacent to the present 101 freeway. The previous occupant of the building had been the Vache Freres Winery. It was expanded to equip the growing school with laboratories, an out-patient clinic and free dispensary. Students dissected cadavers in the same basement quarters that had once been used as a wine cellar. It was a three year curriculum, and there were no matriculation requirements—not even a high school education. The entrance examination usually consisted of an oral test in classical languages at the home of the first dean, Dr. Joseph Widney. The total cost of instruction for three years was $315. The first location of USC College of Medicine was in an old winery building, located at 445 Aliso Street, Los Angeles 1 In 1885 the governor of California was George Stoneman, who was my great-grandfather. He was a retired Civil War Union Major General, who had retired to a 400 acre ranch in San Gabriel, which he named “Los Robles”. One of the graduates of the medical school class of 1898 was Edward M.

  • The History of Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University
    Our Story: The History of Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University Introduction: Our story begins in central Pennsylvania beginning around 1822 with the birth of 5 five sons and four daughters to Northern Ireland immigrants, Robert P. and Arabella Maclay. All 5 sons grew up to become circuit rider ministers in, what was then, the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Their father taught them trades so they wouldn’t be a burden on the communities they served.12 Two of the brothers and a son of their sister Arabella, were foundational to our earliest beginnings, shaped the path of values we still honor today and changed the landscape of various parts of California as well. In the late 1940s, when California was called Alta California and was part of Mexico, with Pio de Jesús Pico as the governor, the Maclay brothers left their circuit riding ministries in Pennsylvania to engage in missionary work in China and California. Later, 2 nephews joined them.3 In 1850, California became a state and the population of Los Angeles was 1,610.4 The Maclay Legacy: Robert Samuel Maclay We begin the Maclay part of our story with Robert Samuel Maclay. In 1847 when the Methodist denomination was splitting up over the issue of slavery, Robert Samuel Maclay was sent to Fuzhou, China, where he established a Methodist Episcopal Mission which he served for 24 years.5 He didn’t have a single convert for 10 years but he learned the Fuzhou dialect and translated the New Testament for the people.
