Students are required to produce a substantial research paper based on their reading of primary and secondary sources focused on the ongoing legacy of our University’s namesake, George Mason, to the region and our nation. As such, the course is broadly defined to allow students to select topics from the colonial era through the modern era. Students may focus on local history, political or military topics of their choice or on subjects relating to women, slavery, education, religion, or culture more generally. After completing some readings about George Mason and the generation of the “Founders,” students, with the assistance of the instructor, will focus their attention on the various stages of researching and writing the research paper. In other words, this seminar offers you the opportunity to pull together the results of your educational experience by demonstrating mastery of research, analytical, and communication skills by applying those skills to a particular historical project. This course also counts toward the writing- intensive requirement for the History major. History 499 is: *RS-Designated course: This class is designated as a Research and Scholarship Intensive Course, which means that students are given the opportunity to actively participate in the process of scholarship. -
Analysis of Student Default Rates at 7800 Postsecondary Schools
i Briefing Report to Congressional Requesters Default Rates at 7,800 : Postsecondary Schools ‘y l (?.’ :.-, i ; ! I United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 Human Resources Division B-204708 July 5, 1989 The Honorable Claiborne Pell Chairman, Subcommittee on Education, Arts, and the Humanities Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate The Honorable Pat Williams Chairman, Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives The Honorable E. Thomas Coleman Ranking Minority Member, Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives In September 1988, we met with staff members of your respective offices. We discussed the preliminary results of our analysis of school default rates for institutions participating in the Stafford Student Loan Program.’ You had requested information on which schools might be affected by proposed legislative changes that would have established school default rate thresholds and required that schools exceeding these thresholds prepare default management plans and agreements to reduce their defaults. Such proposals were included in Senate bill 2647 and House bill 4986. Subsequently, we provided each of your offices with a listing of schools that might have been affected by the proposed legislative criteria. We included information for each school on its (1) default rate, (2) the number of borrowers in default, and (3) the total dollar value of loans in default. We developed this information using the Department of Educa- tion’s latest cumulative computerized data base on the status of student loans made through September 30, 1987. The list we previously pro- vided the Senate subcommittee staff contained about 750 schools having a 25-percent or higher default rate. -

SOME EIGHTEENTH CENTURY FAMILY PROFILES PART 1 1 by the Families Who Were the First Landowners in Present-Day Arling
SOME EIGHTEENTH CENTURY FAMILY PROFILES PART 11 By DONALD A. WISE The families who were the first landowners in present-day Arling• ton County, Virginia, during the Colonial Period, were basically of Anglo-Saxon stock from either England or Scotland. A number of these individuals were quite prominent in the political, social, mili• tary, and economic affairs in the Colony of Virginia. Some of the early landowners had acquired tracts of land for speculative purposes, while others had used these new lands as frontier plantations and homesteads. Tenants and slaves were often established on "quarters" to develop and cultivate the primitive lands into a more profitable enterprise for their owners. Records on some individuals are sparse or lacking, but those documents available do give an insight into the activities and contributions of these early families. The following family profiles are keyed to the Landownership Map 1669-1796 of Arlington County, Virginia,^ and attempt to briefly describe some of these first families in this area. ^ Ed. Note: Part II will appear in the 1978 issue of the Magazine. ^ Copies of this map may be purchased from the Arlington Historical Society, Inc. P.O. Box 402, Arlington, Virginia 22210. 3 I. Gabriel Adams ( -1749) was a large landowner who, between 1726 and 1742, acquired some 2,147 acres of land in Fairfax County. Adams owned two tracts of land in present-day Arlington County. One tract consisting of 338 acres (NN-C-136) was sold to John Colville on April 20, 1731, and the other tract was a 790-acre plat (NN-C-74) which was sold to John Mercer on Septem• ber 19, 1730. -
Appendix F Bill Wallen Farm Creek on Featherstone Refuge
Appendix F Bill Wallen Farm Creek on Featherstone Refuge Archaeological and Historical Resources Overview ■ Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge ■ Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge Archaeological and Historical Resources Overview: Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge Archaeological and Historical Resources Overview: Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge Compiled by Tim Binzen, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Northeast Regional Historian Archaeological and Historical Resources Mason Neck NWR contains an unusually important and diverse archaeological record, which offers evidence of thousands of years of settlement by Native Americans, and of later occupations by Euro-Americans and African- Americans. The variety within this record is known although no comprehensive testing program has been completed at the Refuge. Archaeological sites in the current inventory were identifi ed by compliance surveys in highly localized areas, or on the basis of artifacts found in eroded locations. The Refuge contains twenty-fi ve known Native American sites, which represent occupations that began as early as 9,000 years ago, and continued into the mid-seventeenth century. There are fi fteen known historical archaeological sites, which offer insights into Euro-American settlement that occurred after the seventeenth century. The small number of systematic archaeological surveys that have been completed previously at the Refuge were performed in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and focused on specifi c locations within the Refuge where erosion control activities were considered (Wilson 1988; Moore 1990) and where trail improvements were proposed (GHPAD 2002; Goode and Balicki 2008). In 1994 and 1997, testing was conducted at the Refuge maintenance facility (USFWS Project Files). -
