PREFACE What are the origins and the fortunes of any idea that has taken shape? These must be interesting questions always, and not least so in the case of an academic institution in a new country. Southside Virginia has been a tobacco country from the first. Who have been those of the region that have been formally identified with efforts looking to the maintenance of the academic tradition? The following pages give an answer for Hampden Sidney College, which, with William and Mary and Washington and Lee, has survived in Virginia from a colonial foundation. Hampden Sidney and Washington and Lee, repre- senting the south and the west in the State, mark the beginnings of the positive Revolution ; the history of William and Mary, stand- ing for the colony, is now dim with the circumstances of age. How have the three fared since the establishment of the Uni- versity, and what have been the well-devised plans for collegiate education in the State? What have been the vicissitudes? This Calendar is no brief. In it may be found the facts for a hundred years of the management by Trustees of one of the old- est colleges in the country. Very few of these men are now living, but the College exists no one can say how much because they gave it their oversight. The history of an institution, even if complete as histories go, would be but a partial record: the forces making to that result are so numerous and involved that a state of mind may easily be brought about. quite antagonistic to the drawing up of any rational account of past conditions. Action is the thing, and if a register of current acts is kept, little more can be expected. And yet acts are related, often springing one out of another, and it is desirable to trace the process. It is not certain that historical tastes and aptitudes mean decadence in the community—it is possible that the community is taking on new life in several ways including the historical. At no time has there been any lack of subjects for research in history, but it is interesting to observe the forming of solidarities out of which grows the historical feeling in specific directions. This is a Calendar covering fifty years of the Old College and fifty years of the New College of Hampden Sidney. PORTRAITS OF TRUSTEES 1. Samuel Stanhope Smith. Portrait by C. Lawrence. 2.

The cultivation of Science is ever esteemed an object of great importance by the wise and good. They who have turned their attention to it with the most success are always the most anxious to promote it amongst others. That liberality of sentiment, that refinement of soul, that capacity for public usefulness, and that unaffected morality and religion, which usually accompany real knowledge, are strong induce- ments to the judicious, to desire an extensive diffusion of its salutary influence. The Presbyterian Clergy in Virginia have uniformly aimed at this from their first settle- ment in the country. In their collective capa- city they are known by the name of the Pres- ThePby. of Hanover bytery of Hanover: they have in general [a anxious to promote good] share of learning, and have the pro- [morality and reli- motion of morality and religion much at heart. slon *' Engaged by such motives, they have repeatedly instituted and patronized Seminaries of learn- ing in their different circles. But the small de- gree of influence which they possessed in the older country under the establishment of an But impeded by the Episcopal Church, and the. narrowness of their old Episcopal estab- private fortunes, rendered their efforts of that sort very feeble and no remarkable advantage was derived from their small, local schools. Convinced of the necessity of something The design of erect- more extensive and popular, they endeavoured ing an Acad' y enter- to erect and promote by subscription, a public tained, with the rea- Academy; in which the various parts of Science son lt " should be taught, and which should render edu- cation more conveniently attainable, in coun- ties remote from the seat of Government, where ^his fragment was preserved by the late Dr. Dame, Rector of Camden Parish, Danville, whose executors deposited it some years ago in the College Library. Dr. Dame was a member of the Faculty of the ' College about 1834. ' * CALENDAR OF BOARD MINUTES. 1774 the College of William and Mary had been long before established. In the year 1772 an attempt The firit attempt in of this kind was made, but thro' some fatality, 1772—but unsuccess- the benevolent design miscarried. Two years ful. The next in the afterwards year 1774 successful. when they had recovered a little from their discouragement, [2] it was repeated with greater success. At this time the Rev. Samuel Stanhope Mr. SamM S. Smith Smith arrived in Virginia: a man well quali- a principal in the af- fied in many respects for conducting such a fair. design. He had been for some years employed as a Professor in the College of Nassau Hall, New Jersey, with much credit, both on account of his abilities and conduct. Tho' a young man, he was fully equal to the task of superintend- ing the scheme in contemplation. The Pres- His capacity. bytery, therefore, immediately turned their at- tention to him as a principal in the affair. And through their solicitation and the earnest de- sire of many respectable characters amongst the people, who had become acquainted with his merit, Mr. Smith consented to take upon him the direction of such an Institution as has been mentioned; provided the expedient of a subscription, in case it be tried, should succeed. This measure was no sooner resolved on than it was put into execution, and the success of The succesi of sub- it was as great as it was unexpected. In a few scriptions very great. months several hundred pounds were sub- scribed; with which, considerable buildings were erected and a valuable collection of books was procured for a Library to the Academy; all which will more plainly appear in the Journals which follow.

Cayton _____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Mary Kupiec Cayton ____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Katharine Gillespie ____________________________________________ Dr. Peter Williams Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT "IN THE LAND OF CANAAN:" RELIGIOUS REVIVAL AND REPUBLICAN POLITICS IN EARLY KENTUCKY by Matthew Smith Against the tumult of the American Revolution, the first white settlers in the Ohio Valley imported their religious worldviews and experiences from a colonial past to their unfamiliar new surroundings. Within a generation, they witnessed the Great Revival (circa 1797-1805), a dramatic mass revelation of religion, converting thousands of worshipers to spiritual rebirth while transforming the region's cultural identity. This study focuses on the lives and careers of three prominent Kentucky settlers: Christian revivalists James McGready and Barton Warren Stone, and pioneering newspaper editor John Bradford. All three men occupy points on a religious spectrum, ranging from the secular public faith of civil religion, to the apocalyptic sectarianism of the Great Revival, yet they also overlap in unexpected ways.
