ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I remember that when I was a young boy, my father's family would gather in reunion— usually around Valentine's Day— at the home of my Great Aunt Lulu. There, Uncle Harry would fascinate me with tales of his days as a young cadet at Western Military Academy, not too far from St. Louis. I also remember how, several years later, I was duly impressed while visiting a new friend, after discovering a military school year book— from, I believe, Indiana's Culver Military Academy— in which he appeared in a smart uniform with a Sam Browne belt while participating in such amazing activities as the manual of arms, sabre practice, or cavalry drill. And more recently, I remember how— as a new executive officer— my battalion logistics officer could so easily disrupt a staff meeting by regaling us with hilarious stories of his junior college experience at the Marion Military Institute in Alabama. To all of these ex-cadets, I thank you for spawning my interest in the American military school. There are others I wish to thank as well. Thank you, Dr. Lee Harford, historian for the U.S. Army's ROTC Cadet Command, for your convincing argument that scholarly research about the few remaining articulated military schools and junior colleges was long overdue. Thank you, Dr. A1 Dahler, Dean of Academics at Kemper Military School and College for your openness, honesty, and hospitality that made my field work a pleasure. Thank you, Dr. Jim Yankovich and Dr. Bill Garland, members of my dissertation committee, for your patient and constructive criticism. And, thank you Dr. John Thelin, my doctoral advisor and dissertation chairman. Your sage advice and wise counsel v Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

But most of all, to my family, thank you for putting up with not only months of evening classes and countless library weekends, but with the extended absences needed to conduct my field work. It is only because of the encouragement, understanding, and support you have all provided that I have been able to complete this dissertation and conclude my doctoral studies.

  • The Lake Plan Malcolm and Ardoch Lakes Background Document
    THE LAKE PLAN MALCOLM AND ARDOCH LAKES BACKGROUND DOCUMENT i DISCLAIMER The information contained in this document is for information purposes only. It has been collected from sources we believe to be reliable, but completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The Malcolm Ardoch Lake Landowners’ Association (MALLA) and its members are not liable for any errors or omissions in the data and for any loss or damage suffered based upon the contents herein. Maps are provided only for general indications of position and are not designed for navigational purposes. Boaters and snowmobilers/all-terrain vehicles must take due care at all times on the lakes; users of the lakes are responsible for their own safety and well-being by making themselves aware of any hazards that may exist at any given time. BACKGROUND Preliminary work for the Lake Plan began in 2012 when the Malcolm Ardoch Lakes Association executive were asked for information related to the water quality of the two lakes. Some information was available through the Ministry of the Environment Lakes Partner Program due to the efforts of Ron Higgins for Malcolm and Ruth Cooper for Ardoch Lake who conducted water sampling to provide Secchi data. A second source was the five-year sampling rotation conducted by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. The implications of water quality and water levels initiated discussions about the need for consistent monitoring on the lakes. A Committee was formed under the leadership of Ron Higgins and topics beyond water quality were identified. A land development proposal for Ardoch Lake became an urgent matter and the Lake Plan was delayed.

Depa rtment The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ii ABSTRACT This paper traces the development of early sporting activities in the province of British Columbia. Contemporary newspapers were scanned to obtain a chronicle of the signi• ficant sporting developments and events during the period between the first Fraser River gold rush of 18 58 and the completion of the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway in 188 5. During this period, it is apparent that certain sports facilitated a rapid expansion of activities when the railway brought thousands of new settlers to the province in the closing years of the century.

  • PSALMS for MOTHER EMANUEL E L E G Y F R O M P I T T S B U R G H T O C H a R L E S T O N
    PSALMS FOR MOTHER EMANUEL ELEGY FROM PITTSBURGH TO CHARLESTON the pittsburgh foundation | 2016 FOREWORD All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. — ROMANS 8:28 It requires a lot of faith to practice Romans 8:28. On June 17, 2015, a gunman walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and opened fire on women, men and children concluding a Bible Study while their eyes were closed, “watching God.” The nine people killed were armed with Bibles and the Holy Spirit. My childhood friend and ministerial colleague, Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was killed. Our text message stream is still in my cellphone; I will not erase it. Waltrinia Middleton, a college friend, and her aunt, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, were killed. These personal relationships made the tragedy sink in even more. On July 10, 2015, the Confederate flag was removed from the South Carolina State House. Many in my state and across the nation began having more serious conversations about race. I tremble thinking what it cost us to get there. Emanuel A.M.E. Church is one of the most historic African- American churches in the nation. And Charleston is dubbed the “Holy City” for the plethora of churches that make up its landscape. Every corner of Charleston reminds us of past prejudices, recent hates and an optimistic future. There is a beauty in the city that is majestic. The nation saw it in the outpouring of love after June 17. The Book of Psalms was the hymnbook of ancient Israel.

As suggested by the editors of the pedalistas (cyclists) with a passion unique in Latin America.2 recent anthology Sports and Nationalism in Latin/o America, more often than not, sports have been “a key arena for offi- cial forms of nationalism aimed at integrating a given society The 1940s: Political Turbulence and the Beginning of the in the face of internal differences or for schemes aimed at La Violencia taking advantage of sports’ deep popularity to obtain political gains and legitimization” (Fernández L’Hoeste, McKee Irvin, In the first half of the twentieth century, the traditional- Poblete, 2015, 2). Even in Colombia, a country broken into ly intense animosity between the Conservative and Liberal disparate regions that geographically reinforce the emergence parties rose to a fever pitch after the disputed election of 1946 of distinctive cultures, sports at various times have surmount- brought the Conservative candidate Mariano Ospina to the ed this obstacle to play a crucial role in the establishment of a presidency.

  • Former Governors of Illinois
    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818. Born in Maryland, he attended college in Pennsylvania, where he studied law, and then served in a variety of judgeships in Kentucky.
