Repository: Bridwell Library, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University Biographical Note The Rev. John Heyl Vincent, S.T.D., LL. D. (1832-1920), was a noted minister, author, educator, and public speaker. He was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on February 23, 1832, to John Himrod Vincent (1798-1873) and Mary Raser Vincent (1803-1852). In 1838 the Vincent family relocated to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. As a young adult, John Heyl Vincent worked as a school teacher and as a circuit riding Methodist preacher. He was licensed to preach and became a local pastor in 1850. He relocated to Newark, New Jersey in 1852 upon the death of his mother. After completing studies at the Newark Wesleyan Institute, Vincent was ordained in the New Jersey Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1857. His first action as elder was to request a transfer to the Rock River Conference. While in Illinois, Rev. Vincent served Methodist churches in Joilet, Mt. Morris, Galena, Rockford, and Chicago. In 1862 John Heyl Vincent traveled to Europe and Palestine. This was the first of several international voyages he would undertake. Toward the end of the American Civil War, Vincent served in the U. S. Christian Commission. Page 3 John Heyl Vincent Papers Rev. John H. Vincent founded two successful religious periodicals: Northwestern Sunday School Quarterly (1865) and Sunday School Teacher (1866). The Methodist Episcopal Church General Conference of 1868 affirmed his work in religious education by naming him editor of the Sunday-School Journal, Corresponding Secretary of the Sunday-School Union, and Superintendent of the Department of Sunday-School Instruction. Believing that a large-scale, interdenominational, religious educators’ training event could strengthen the Sunday School movement, Rev. Vincent and Akron, Ohio, businessman Lewis Miller organized a Sunday School Assembly at Lake Chautauqua, New York, in 1874. The Chautauqua Assembly became the Chautauqua Institution under the long-term guidance of President Miller and Chancellor Vincent. Rev. Vincent was elected Bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1888. He was named Resident Bishop Abroad in 1890, charged with overseeing Methodist conferences in Europe. Bishop Vincent retired in 1904 and died in 1920. John Heyl Vincent married Sarah Elizabeth Dusenbury (1832-1909), daughter of Henry and Caroline Butler Dusenbury, on November 10, 1858. Known as Elizabeth, ―Lib,‖ and ―Libbie,‖ Mrs. Vincent shared her husband’s Methodist faith, love of books, and passion for the promotion of education. Their son, George Edgar Vincent (1864-1941), adopted many of his parents’ interests. He became the literary editor of the Chautauqua Press in 1886 when in his early twenties. George E. Vincent later served as Vice-President (1888-1889) and President (1907-1915) of the Chautauqua Institution. Dr. Vincent taught and held administrative positions at the University of Chicago from 1900 to 1911. From 1911 until 1917, he served as President of the University of Minnesota. Dr. George Vincent then became the President of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1917, retiring in 1929. George Edgar Vincent married Mary Louise Palmer in January of 1890. They raised three children: Isabel, John H., and Elizabeth. Sources: Leete, Frederick DeLand. Methodist Bishops – Personal Notes and Bibliography. Nashville: Parthenon Press, 1948. Price, Carl F.

John Heyl Vincent Papers Page 4 Scope and Contents of the Collection The John Heyl Vincent papers chronicle the family life and career of Methodist Bishop John Heyl Vincent, revealing his broad intellectual and religious interests. The collection also demonstrates that, during his long career as a public figure, Vincent met many of the leaders of his day, including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Thomas Edison. The Vincent papers feature one linear foot of genealogical research notes, more than 1200 family and business letters, twenty folders of Chautauqua Institution-related materials, Rev. Vincent’s lecture notes and journals, copies of books and booklets written by him, publications owned by Bishop Vincent but not written by him, and photographs. Arrangement of the Collection The collection has been arranged into nine topical series: Series 1: Personal and Family History Files, 1798-1924 Series 2: Correspondence, 1822-1920 Series 3: Journals and Notebooks, 1832-1920 Series 4: Lecture Notes, 1860-1920 Series 5: Chautauqua, 1874-1925 Series 6: Publications by John H. Vincent, 1861-1912 Series 7: Other Printed Matter, 1875-1920 Series 8: Photographs, 1870-1920 Series 9: Administrative Data, 1920-1956 Restrictions Access to Collection: The collection is open for research use.

Genealogies.—rbgenr Administrative Information Preferred Citation: John Heyl Vincent papers, Bridwell Library, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University. Acquisition Information: Gift of Bishop Frederick DeLand Leete, 1956. Custodial History: The core of this collection consists of materials that were gathered by John Heyl Vincent and used by him in publishing a serialized autobiography in 1910. The papers later came into the possession of George E. Vincent, who added correspondence and anecdotes collected from Bishop Vincent’s friends and colleagues. The augmented collection was then used by Bishop Vincent’s nephew, Leon H. Vincent, author of John Heyl Vincent: A Biographical Sketch (1925). Internal evidence suggests that the entire collection was acquired by Bishop Frederick D. Leete. Bishop Leete added a number of publications by Bishop Vincent given by Mrs. Paul V. Harper of Libertyville, Illinois, before donating these materials to Bridwell Library in 1956 as part of his Methodist Historical Library. Processing Information This collection was arranged and described in 2010 by Timothy S. G. Binkley with assistance from Heather M. Oglevie and Elizabeth Perry. Encoded by Lara Corazalla, 2010.

    A BRIEF CENTENNIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RESOURCES ON THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY/ASSOCIATION1 Compiled by the Centennial Bibliography Project Committee2 American Sociological Association Section on the History of Sociology ELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION provides the ritual occasion and reinforces the intellectual rationale for collectively exploring our Cprofessional and organizational roots. To guide us on our way, we have compiled a brief bibliography of relevant materials and exemplars that explicate the early history of the American Sociological Society and – to some degree – its subsequent evolution (the line separating “history” from “current events” is not always easily drawn). Practicing extreme parsimony, we have intentionally excluded literally thousands of otherwise important and instructive published works that focus primarily on specific departments of sociology, the ideas and accomplishments of individual sociologists, the development of sociological theories, the general intellectual history of the discipline as a whole, and myriad other matters of obvious historical and disciplinary interest. We hasten to add, however, that the structure and practical scope of a much more inclusive bibliography is now under consideration and is soon to be implemented. In the interim, we provide here a small down payment: a narrowly defined set of references for selected articles – and still fewer monographs – that specifically address, in various ways, the founding era and subsequent evolution of the American Sociological Society as a professional organization. To these citations, we add lists of relevant journals, abstracts, indexes and databases, and append the locations of archival deposits for the first ten presidents of the American Sociological Society, with the hope of encouraging ever more scholarship on the early history of the ASS/ASA per se.3 Corrections and suggested additions to this bibliography, focused specifically on the history of the ASS/ASA, are welcomed by the committee.

    “KNOCKING ON THE BIG CITY’S DOOR”: SOCIOLOGY AND SOUTHERN MIGRANTS TO CHICAGO IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY By Aja Bain A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University August 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Kristine McCusker, Chair Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Behind every successful graduate student, there is a small army of dedicated professors, colleagues, friends, and family offering encouragement and guidance. My case is no exception. I extend deepest thanks to my advisors Dr. Kristine McCusker and Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle for their patience and invaluable feedback throughout this process, as well as their boundless optimism that I was up to the task. Dr. Susan Myers- Shirk also guided me through the beginning stages of this research and encouraged me to develop it for the thesis, for which I am sincerely grateful. My family, who have nurtured my love of history from the very beginning, also deserve tremendous thanks for their love and support, as well as their belief that I really can earn a living doing what I love. My friends (notably the Gore Girls) who have tirelessly cheered me on, pushed me to do my best, and empathized even if they aren’t quite sure what I’m doing, similarly deserve more credit and gratitude than I can express. Thank you all so very much. ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the sociological response to Southern migrants in Chicago during the period of explosive outmigration from the 1920s through the 1950s. Sociologists navigated a complex framework of race, class, and region to study and aid these migrants.
