  • College Matriculation, 2003-2010
    COLLEGE MATRICULATION, 2003-2010 Because of the small size of each graduating class, CFS offers an eight-year college matriculation span as a measure of the breadth and depth of its students’ post-secondary choices. An estimated 95% of each graduating class will pursue a four-year college option; others will explore work, travel and service opportunities, in most cases prior to enrolling at a four-year institution. Recent graduates exploring alternatives to college have pursued activities including music, work with young children, AmeriCorps/VISTA, European travel, and work on organic farms in France and New Zealand (with WWOOF). The number of students matriculating at each school is noted in parenthesis.

By 1794, some Pennsylvanians became violent and riotous, believing the government was overreaching its authority. President George Washington had to decide how the federal government should address an open, armed “rebellion” of disgruntled farmers. Personal correspondence from Washington and Hamilton, along with secondary sources will be used to analyze the factors that contributed to Washington’s decision to lead a 13,000-man militia to suppress a disorganized insurrection in western Pennsylvania. This paper will examine the rioters’ unwillingness to cede to government authority after multiple warnings, growing anti-federalist sentiment, Hamilton’s instigation, and Washington’s obligation as the executive of a new nation to enforce rule of law.
