THE IRA ALIEN CHAPEL AND BILLINGS LIBRARY THE WATERMAN MEMORIAL BUILDING WILLIAMS SCIENCE HALL THE IRA ALLEN ORATION THE FRESHMAN PICNIC ON REDSTONE CAMPUS HEADING FOR FEDERAL INSPECTION UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT AND STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Educational Opportunities The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College aims to provide for qualified young men and women the opportunity to acquire an understanding and appreciation of the main fields of human knowledge, to develop those qualities of mind and character which will enable them to assume responsible leadership among their fellow men, and to lay the foundations for successful careers. In the process of achieving these aims, the University believes that a student will grow in self-mastery and personal depth, will learn to reason logically, and will develop open-mindedness and tolerance toward the opinion of others. The instructional activities of the University are organized under five colleges—Agriculture, Arts aqd Sciences, Education and Nursing, Medi­ cine, and Technology; the School of Dental Hygiene; and the Graduate Council. "Within these seven instructional divisions, students may select from a wide variety of curricula.

All pre-professional requirements for admission to colleges of medicine, dentistry, law, and theology may be met in the College of Arts and Sci­ ences by a proper selection of electives. Those who have completed three years of pre-medical study at the University may qualify, on application, for the degree of Bachelor of Science after successfully completing one year of study in an approved college of medicine. 1 2 Educational Opportunities THE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY The College of Technology offers four-year curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineer­ ing, Management Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Com­ merce and Economics (Business Administration), and Medical Technology.

GRADUATE STUDY Under the supervision of the Graduate Council, instruction is given leading to one or another of several advanced degrees. The student may elect to work for his appropriate degree in many departments of the Uni­ versity. The History The University owes its founding to Ira Allen, who gave four thou­ sand pounds to help establish a university in Burlington. He had aided more than any other one man in forming the State and in preserving its integrity through the troubled years preceding its admission to the Union. In 1791 the first General Assembly of the new State granted the charter for the University. Instruction was begun by the first president, Daniel C. Sanders, in 1800 and four years later the first class was graduated. In 1872 women were first admitted. The Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Representative and later Senator from Ver­ mont, sponsored the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862, which provided for colleges to teach liberal and scientific courses, including Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. Under this act the Legislature chartered the Vermont Agricultural College in 1864. A year later the two corporations were joined by legislative act in a new corporation, the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. Later the Experiment Station and Exten­ sion Service were established by the Legislature. Courses in Civil Engi­ neering were first given in 1829. Four-year curicula in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Management Engineering have followed. The study of Medicine began with the appointment in 1804 of a lec­ turer in Chirurgery and Anatomy, and a full course of Medical Lectures 4 The Campus was offered in 1822 by the cooperation of an association of doctors and the University. From this developed the Medical College. Since 1920, women have been admitted to this college. Since 1944, the University has offered pre-clinical classroom instruc­ tion for the nursing students of most Vermont hospitals. In 1946, the University was re-organized into its present divisions. Some of the most recently added curricula include Nursing, Business

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

  • Resolving the Incommensurability of Eugenics & the Quantified Self
    Eugenics & the Quantified Self Resolving the Incommensurability of Eugenics & the Quantified Self Gabi Schaffzin The “quantified self,” a cultural phenomenon which emerged just before the 2010s, embodies one critical underlying tenet: self-tracking for the purpose of self-improvement through the identification of behavioral and environmental variables critical to one’s physical and psychological makeup. Of course, another project aimed at systematically improving persons through changes to the greater population is eugenics. Importantly, both cultural phenomena are built on the predictive power of correlation and regression—statistical technologies that classify and normalize. Still, a closer look at the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century eugenic projects and the early-twenty-first century proliferation of quantified self devices reveals an inherent incommensurability between the fundamental tenets underlying each movement. Eugenics, with its emphasis on hereditary physical and psychological traits, precludes the possibility that outside influences may lead to changes in an individual’s bodily or mental makeup. The quantified self, on the other hand, is predicated on the belief that, by tracking the variables associated with one’s activities or environment, one might be able to make adjustments to achieve physical or psychological health. By understanding how the technologies of the two movements work in the context of the predominant form of Foucauldian governmentality and biopower of their respective times, however, the incommensurability between these two movements might in fact be resolved. I'm Gabi Schaffzin from UC San Diego and I'm pursuing my PhD in Art History, Theory, and Criticism with an Art Practice concentration. My work focuses on the designed representation of measured pain in a medical, laboratory, and consumer context.

Bryan 2013 William D. Bryan Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 The dissertation of William D. Bryan was reviewed and approved* by the following: William A. Blair Liberal Arts Professor of American History Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Mark E. Neely McCabe Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Solsiree Del Moral Assistant Professor of History Robert Burkholder Associate Professor of English Adam Rome Associate Professor of History and English The University of Delaware Special Member David G. Atwill Director of Graduate Studies in History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines conflicting visions for natural resource use and economic development in the American South in the years between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Great Depression. Emancipation toppled the region’s economy and led many Southerners to try to establish a “New South” to replace their antebellum plantation society. Their task was unprecedented, and necessitated completely reimagining the economic structure of the entire region. Although most Southerners believed that the region was blessed with abundant natural resources, there were many competing ideas about how these resources should be used in order to achieve prosperity. By examining how these different visions shaped New South economic development, this dissertation reconsiders a longstanding interpretation of the postbellum American South, and provides a fresh historical perspective on the challenges of sustainable development in underdeveloped places worldwide.

  • George P. Marsh, Man and Nature (1864)1
    AMERICAN POLITICAL THOUGHT Keith E. Whittington Supplementary Material Chapter 6: Civil War and Reconstruction – Citizenship and Community George P. Marsh, Man and Nature (1864)1 George Perkins Marsh was born in 1801 to a Vermont lawyer. After graduating from Dartmouth College, he briefly pursued an academic career as a linguist before taking up his father’s occupation. After the death of his first wife, he turned to politics and won a seat as a Whig first in the statehouse and then in Congress. He was appointed to diplomatic posts in Turkey and Italy and turned his attention to more scholarly pursuits, including his most important work on the effect of human action on the environment. His advocacy of conservationism and warnings against careless land management helped spur the establishment of Arbor Day and forest reserves in the United States and beyond. [I]t is certain that man has done much to mould the form of the earth’s surface, though we cannot always distinguish between the results of his action and the effects of purely geological causes; that the destruction of the forests, the drainage of lakes and marshes, and the operations of rural husbandry and industrial art have tended to produce great changes in the hygrometric, thermometric, electric, and chemical condition of the atmosphere, though we are not yet able to measure the force of the different elements of disturbance, or to say how far they have been compensated by each other, or by still obscurer influences; and, finally, that the myriad forms of animal and vegetable life, which covered the earth when man first entered upon the theatre of a nature whose harmonies he was destined to derange, have been, through his action, greatly changed in numerical proportion, sometimes modified in form and product, and sometimes entirely extirpated.

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

  • Edward Joy Morris (1861-1870)
    PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S MINISTER RESIDENT TO THE SUBLIME PORTE: EDWARD JOY MORRIS (1861-1870) I When President Abraham Lincoln designated Congressman Edward Joy Morris, of Philadelphia, to serve as his Minister Resident in Constan­ tinople on June 8, 1861, he apparently knew something of what he was doing. Mr. Morris had not only served a number of terms in the United States House of Representatives, to say nothinG of the Pennsylvania State Legislature, he had already had experience in diplomacy, as the American Chargé d’ Af­ faires in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1850-1853), and had traveled widely in Europe and the Middle East.1 He had also written and translated a number of books, in addition to writing for various magazines and journals. Yet Morris remains a somewhat neglected and even forgotten American di­ plomatist who served his country with distinction in time of trouble on the periphery of American interest.2 He was to remain in touch with the Sub­ lime Porte throughout the American Civil War during the Johnson Adminis­ tration which followed, and the early part of the Grant period. DurinG his more than nine years in Constantinople he handled problems which were 1. Morris was born in Philadelphia on July 16, 1815 and died there on December 31, 1881. He entered the University of Pennsylvania in the class of 1835, but transferred to Harvard, from which he was graduated in the class of 1836. Admitted to the bar in 1842, he served in the Pennsylvania Legislature during 1841-1843, and was a Whig representative in the 28th^ Congress (1843-1845), but failed of re-election.

MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.
