Class of 2020 Degree Conferral Ceremony WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY Class of 2020 Degree Conferral Ceremony Thursday, May the Twenty-eighth Two Thousand and Twenty LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA 1 Shenandoah arr. James Erb (1926-2014) O Shenandoah, I long to see you, and hear your rolling river, ‘way, we’re bound away, across the wide Missouri. I long to see your smiling valley, and hear your rolling river, ‘way, we’re bound away, across the wide Missouri. ‘Tis sev’n long years since last I see you, and hear your rolling river, ‘way, we’re bound away, across the wide Missouri. — traditional American folk-song Washington and Lee Hymn Margaret Brouwer (b. 1940) In the shadows of white columns, we stop to hear the chimes. Worn steps on which we linger slowly yield to time. But when we doubt our future’s course, Our honor sets us free. A timeless trust in our alma mater, Washington and Lee. As the bells ring out the hour and echo through the halls, We sense in this brief moment the strength within these walls, But when we doubt our future’s course, Our honor sets us free. A timeless trust in our alma mater, Washington and Lee. — Scott Howe ’93 2 CONFERRAL CEREMONY ORDER OF EXERCISES INTRODUCTION WELCOME William C.

  • Silenced by a Pistol John Hampden Pleasants, Slavery and the Disappearance of Dissent in Virginia
    Silenced by a Pistol John Hampden Pleasants, Slavery and the Disappearance of Dissent in Virginia Suzanne Cooper Guasco, Ph.D. Queens University of Charlotte 7-17-2015 Cooper Guasco 1 On the wet and dreary morning of Wednesday, February 25, 1846 John Hampden Pleasants, the former editor of the Richmond Whig, and Thomas Ritchie, Jr., the co-editor of the Richmond Enquirer, met on the canal tow path in Manchester City, just across the James River from Richmond. Armed with pistols, swords and bowie knives, both men faced one another squarely, separated by a few hundred feet while their seconds attempted to negotiate an amicable resolution to the conflict. When they failed, Pleasants initiated the duel by calmly walking directly toward Ritchie. Initially, both men refrained from discharging their weapons, but once Pleasants was within range, Ritchie opened fire “throwing down his pistols as fast as he fired.” Certainly several of his shots hit their mark, but Pleasants marched forward “without falling in the least,” refusing to fire “his first pistol” until he was within ten feet of his opponent. Pleasants then closed in on Ritchie, “struck him with his pistol in the mouth” and lunged forward with his sword cane, intent on running him through. “Ritchie, in the meantime, was constantly firing, until at last he drew his sword” and the men “were parted.” Pleasants then fell to the ground, struck by six bullets and wounded in the hand, arm, chest and leg. Thomas Dean and Jefferson Archer placed the mortally wounded Pleasants in a carriage and transported him back to his room in the city.

  • History and Facts on Virginia
    History and Facts on Virginia Capitol Building, Richmond 3 HISTORY AND FACTS ON VIRGINIA In 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists also established the first representative legislature in America in 1619. Virginia became a colony in 1624 and entered the union on June 25, 1788, the tenth state to do so. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen” and is also known as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation of Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s. Virginia is designated as a Commonwealth, along with Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In 1779, the capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond. The cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785, and the building was completed in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, France, the Capitol was the first public building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture. Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, including its most outstanding feature: the interior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior. The wings were added in 1906 to house the Senate and House of Delegates. In 2007, in time to receive the Queen of England during the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, the Capitol underwent an extensive restoration, renovation and expansion, including the addition of a state of the art Visitor’s Center that will ensure that it remains a working capitol well into the 21st Century.

WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO STOCKS IMMEDIATELY DERIVED FROM THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA; TRACING IN DETAIL THEIR VARIOUS GENEALOGICAL CONNEX- IONS AND ILLUSTRATING FROM HISTORIC SOURCES THEIR INFLUENCE UPON THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF KENTUCKY AND THE STATES OF THE SOUTH AND WEST. BY THOMAS MARSHALL GREEN. No greater calamity can happen to a people than to break utterly with its past. —Gladstone. FIRST SERIES. ' > , , j , CINCINNATI: ROBERT CLARKE & CO 1889. May 1913 G. brown-coue collection. Copyright, 1889, Bv Thomas Marshall Green. • • * C .,.„„..• . * ' • ; '. * • . " 4 • I • # • « PREFATORY. In his interesting "Sketches of North Cai-olina," it is stated by Rev. W. H. Foote, that the political principle asserted by the Scotch-Irish settlers in that State, in what is known as the "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence," of the right to choose their own civil rulers, was the legitimate outgrowth of the religious principle for which their ancestors had fought in both Ireland and Scotland—that of their right to choose their own re- ligious teachers. After affirming that "The famous book, Lex Rex, by Rev. Samuel Rutherford, was full of principles that lead to Republican action," and that the Protestant emigrants to America from the North of Ireland had learned the rudiments of republicanism in the latter country, the same author empha- sizes the assertion that "these great principles they brought with them to America." In writing these pages the object has been, not to tickle vanity by reviving recollections of empty titles, or imaginary dig- or of wealth in a and nities, dissipated ; but, plain simple manner, to trace from their origin in this country a number of Kentucky families of Scottish extraction, whose ancestors, after having been seated in Ireland for several generations, emigrated to America early in the eighteenth century and became the pioneers of the Valley of Virginia, to the communities settled in which they gave their own distinguishing characteristics.
