  • Ne Auferatur!
    WOODSTOCK LETTERS INDEX Volumes 1-80 1872-1951 Compiled by GEORGE ZORN, S.J. JESUIT LIBRARY MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY NE AUFERATUR! Woodstock College Press Woodstock, Maryland 1960 Marquette JESUIT ARCHIVES University r.; » //.- ,, FOREWORD Woodstock Letters during their first two decades published each year a table of contents. Thereafter, an annual index ap­ peared. These indexes, while generally more than a table of contents, are not an adequate key to the mine of information contained in the Letters. In addition to the annual indexes, the Letters have pub­ lished five other indexes, including the present one. The first of these, called Index A, published in 1888, covers the first ten volumes (1872-1881). It is divided into three parts: Historical Papers, Biographical and General. Biographical is further subdivided into Sketches, Notices, Obituaries and Mentioned. The second of the indexes, called Index B, is not dated but according to a note prefixed to Index A was published in 1888 or shortly afterwards. It covers volumes 11 to 15 and has the same divisions as Index A. These two indexes are still of some value for the first fifteen volumes and references to those volumes in the present index can be further controlled by consulting them. The third of the indexes, published in 1898, covers the first twenty-five volumes of the Letters and is divided into three parts: A General List of Articles with Authors, An Index of Authors, Sketches and Obituary Notices. In a foreword, the editor of the time, Father Samuel H. Frisbee, notes that the List of Articles with Authors was prepared for "the con­ venience of our readers, and to preserve, while they could yet be obtained, the names of the authors of the different articles which have appeared in the Letters for the past twenty-five years." This index is, consequently, still of value.

  • Mullaney, Richie 2018
    FORGETTING FOUNDERS DAY: HOW THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A CAMPUS TRADITION REVEALS THE AMERICANIZATION OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY’S CATHOLIC IDENTITY A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Richie Mullaney Washington, D.C. April 25, 2018 II FORGETTING FOUNDERS DAY: HOW THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A CAMPUS TRADITION REVEALS THE AMERICANIZATION OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY’S CATHOLIC IDENTITY Richie Mullaney Thesis Adviser: Stefan Zimmers ABSTRACT When John Carroll founded Georgetown University as the first American Catholic college in 1789, he had conducted a radical experiment. Why? Because the term “American Catholic” was considered an oxymoron. Catholics were not thought to exhibit the democratic values that were quintessential to American culture. Consequently, Catholic universities functioned as insular religious communities to protect themselves from the threats of secular Americanism. But as cultural shifts in both Church and country made Catholicism and Americanism more compatible, Catholic universities began to emerge through a process of Americanization. This thesis explores the intimacies of the Americanization process of Catholic higher education in the United States by examining a case study of the nation’s first and oldest Catholic university. This work will argue that the rise and fall of Georgetown University’s annual celebration of Founders Day offers an effective lens to interpret the changing expression of the university’s Catholic identity throughout the mid-twentieth century. “Forgetting Founders Day” posits that the evolution and gradual disappearance of Founders Day as a campus tradition reveals how Georgetown University Americanized its Catholic identity.

Copyright 1913 James Walter Thomas All rights reserved 1198817 PREFACE TPHIS work may be classified as an historical review of Maryland, anterior to and during the American Revolution, though its Author be- stows upon it the more modest title— Chronicles of Colonial Maryland. His chief object has been to explore and develop historic fields which have hitherto either|been wholly neglected, or have received but scant notice at the hands of historians. This does not apply to the first chapter, the ob- ject of which was to re-locate a cherished landmark, "once known, but forgotten"—the historic island of Saint Clement's—and thus rescue from oblivion, the spot consecrated as the first landing place of the Maryland colonists; as well, also, to identify the exact point of landing at the place of its permanent settlement. The Author, while conscious of the laborious research and painstaking care bestowed upon it, fully realizes that a work, so largely one of original research, is inevitably not without imperfections. In submitting it, therefore, to the public, he does so with the assuring hope that the learned and generous will appreciate the difficulties attending the undertaking, and will accord consideration and justice to the motive which animated this humble tribute to his native State.

  • I. the Catholic Mission in Maryland, 1641
    DOCUMENTS I. The Catholic Mission in Maryland, 1641. THE two documents which follow were discovered among the Barberini MSS. in the Vatican Library by Dr. Arnold O. Meyer of the Prussian Historical Institute in Rome, and by him communicated to the REVIEW. The designation of their place is: Cod. Barberini lat. 8690, " Colonia e Inghilterra, Carlo Rossetti 1641, II. 107, 37 ", foIl. 173-175. The writer of the letter, Mgr. Carlo Rossetti, titular archbishop of Sardis and later of Tarsus, was at the time of its writing pontifical representative in London, and as such figures largely in the contemporary history of Catholicism in England. Not many days after the date of the letter, on September 27, he was made extraordinary nuncio at Cologne. The letter was apparently ad­ dressed to either Cardinal Francesco or Cardinal Antonio Barberini, who were nephews of the reigning pope, Urban VIII., and who in a sense occupied jointly a position analogous to that of cardinal secre­ tary of state. The" relation" which is enclosed with the letter exists also, it appears, in other copies. One, perhaps to be regarded as the original and differing slightly from this, is in the Vatican Archives, "Nunziatura d'Inghilterra ", and it is understood that a paragraph from it is to be printed (under the number 19 D) in Father Thomas Hughes's forthcoming History of the Jesuits in N orllt America. Another is in the Archives of the Propaganda. Much of the same information as is presented in this relation is also to be found in the extracts from the Annual Letters which accom­ pany the Relatio I tineris tn M arylandiam published by the Mary­ land Historical Society.
