    “KING JAMES:” JAMES EDWARD DICKEY (1864-1928), EMORY COLLEGE PRESIDENT AND METHODIST BISHOP by THOMAS HAROLD JACKSON, JR. (Under the Direction of Libby V. Morris and Thomas G. Dyer) ABSTRACT James Edward Dickey was the twelfth president of Emory College and the last to serve at its Oxford, Georgia campus before it was consolidated into Emory University. As were many of his predecessors, Dickey was an Emory alumnus and Methodist minister who came to the presidency with a background of teaching and preaching. A systematic administrator with a gift for fundraising, he served as president from 1902 to 1915, longer than any of his predecessors, and oversaw construction of a new science building, dormitory, gymnasium and a sanctuary for the campus church. An old-style southern orator noted for his eloquence and grandiose delivery, he preached conservative values leading to Christian salvation. Serving as pastor of prominent Georgia Methodist churches before and after his presidency, he was elected bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1922, serving until his death in 1928. As such, he campaigned vigorously against a proposal to unify the southern and northern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Key influences and factors in his life and career were his mentor and long-time colleague Warren A. Candler, also an Emory president and Methodist bishop; the transition of the Old South of his birth and its “Lost Cause” rhetoric to the New South of his maturity, as outlined by Atticus G. Haygood and Henry W. Grady; the pervasive influence of race in the life of the church, college and society of Dickey’s time; the Methodist Church and its commitment to higher education through the Wesleyan philosophy of melding knowledge with vital piety; and the coming of the Progressive Era and its resulting impact on higher education in general, and on Emory in particular, as it transformed from a small liberal arts college to a great research university.

  • February 2018
    View this email in a web page February 2018 Dear Emory Families, As a student affairs practitioner, I strive to help students develop into emerging adults. In looking at their needs, I often refer to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs which is a five-tier model of the psychological theory. The bottom tier represents physiological needs that include air, food, shelter, and sleep. Just as when our three-year-olds got cranky, we considered whether or not they needed a nap, were hungry, or just needed a secure place. With our college students, often the best advice we can give them is to take care of their basic needs. Get enough sleep. Eat a balanced diet. Make your room comfortable. Breathe. As family members, we need to give ourselves this advice, too. And in modeling this behavior, perhaps our students will practice it for themselves. Please remember, if you have any questions, suggestions, or inquiries, please email: [email protected]. I am happy to help. Hail the Gold & Blue! Bridget Guernsey Riordan, Ph.D. Assistant Vice President of Campus Life Alumni Relations, Parent & Family Programs NEWS UPDATES On-campus housing selection is coming up soon! All first and second-year students are required to live on campus. Rising third and fourth-year selections are February 26- March 2. Rising second-year selection is March 19-22. Go here for application deadlines and instructions. Please join The Emory Wheel in celebrating the class of 2018!

    A NEW WAY OF LIVING TOGETHER: A HISTORY OF ATLANTA’S HIP COMMUNITY, 1965-1973 by CHRISTOPHER ALLEN HUFF (Under the Direction of Robert A. Pratt) ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses the history of Atlanta’s hip community, a complex grouping of radicals, hippies, antiwar supporters, underground journalists, street people, college activists and progressive social workers that existed from the mid-1960s until the first years of the 1970s. This project explores how a true community developed in the face of the region’s staunch social and political conservatism. While college administrators cautiously tolerated student activists, city officials attempted to rid the city of the hip district, the “Strip,” that developed in Midtown. This opposition, combined with a shared belief that a new nation needed to emerge out of the racism of the Jim Crow South, the destruction of the Vietnam War and the conformity of suburban Cold War America, created a communal identity which manifested itself in student movements, an underground newspaper, a diverse antiwar movement and a belief that parts of Atlanta belonged to hips. Developing slowly in the years after 1965, the hip community experienced its zenith from 1968 to 1970 when thousands of people demonstrated against the Vietnam War, moved into the Strip, and came together in multiple ways to solve their own problems in their own way. The introduction of heroin and other hard drugs along with an increase in the Strip’s population of addicts, vulnerable runaways and bikers threatened the recently achieved successes in Midtown, leading hips, private social service agencies, and local churches to work together at solving these problems.

  • Dear Emory Parents and Families
    February 2016 Dear Emory Parents and Families: Planning for the fall is already underway with students considering housing options. All first-year students will go through housing selection this month. Patience is often needed as final housing decisions may take time for various pieces to fall into place. Although rising juniors and seniors may choose off-campus living, many often take advantage of Emory dining services. Whatever they choose, a number of options exist. Sleeping and eating right are the keys to maintaining good health for a busy student. More information regarding housing and dining can be found in the Healthy Emory section below. We continue to appreciate your questions or suggestions. Please email [email protected] to contact us. Hail the Gold & Blue!

Until recently, Gambrell Hall provided a physical touchstone for our community. Now, much of our community resides in homes, as our faculty and staff work remotely to provide our students with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives found in Emory Law’s nationally recognized curriculum. Over the past weeks, many members of our staff and faculty have been working tirelessly on delivering online instruction for our students and producing a virtual visiting experience for prospective students — all while shifting the entire operation of the law school to their home offices and kitchen tables. I am grateful for all they do and for the ways you’ve been sup- porting us during this time. I must ask for your support — and understanding — once again. We printed a limited number of Emory Lawyer magazines for this issue and made our online version even more robust. This decision allows us to focus our resources on our students and to be sensitive to those who would rather not receive mail during this time of social distancing. Law schools across the country are responding to this crisis with inno- vative strategies to address student needs and with research that explores, among other important matters, the intersection between law and public health.
