In 1793 the missionary presented his proposal to President George Washington in Philadelphia,who “expressed approbation,” and to Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton,who consented to be a trustee of the new school,to which he also lent his name.The Hamilton-Oneida Academy was chartered soon thereafter. On July 1, 1794,in colorful ceremonies attended by a delegation of Oneida Indians, the corne r stone was laid by Baron von Steuben, inspector general of the Continental Ar my and “ d ri l l m a s t e r ”o f Was h i n g t o n ’ s troops during the War for Independence. The Academy remained in existence for nearly 20 years. It faltered,almost failed, and never came to serve Samuel Kirkland’s original purpose, which was to help the Oneidas adapt to a life in settled communities. In fact,few Oneidas came to attend the school,and its students were primarily the children of local white settlers.Yet the Academy remained the missionary’s one enduring accomplishment when,a few years after his death,it was transformed into Hamilton College. The new institution of higher learning was chartered in 1812.The third college to be established in NewYork State, it is today among the oldest in the nation. Its history has been both long and eventful.After surviving dire difficulties in its early years,the College began to flourish in the period prior to the Civil War.Throughout the nineteenth century, however, it remained steadfast in its adherence to a traditional classical curriculum.Its students (all male),drawn almost entirely from the small towns and rural areas of upstate NewYork, were expected to enter well prepared in Greek and Latin.They continued to receive generous instruction in those languages, as well as in philosophy, religion,history and mathematics,throughout their stay on the Hill. In that res p e c t , Hamilton was not unusual among colleges of the time. Ho w- ever, there was a greater emphasis on “rhetoric and elocution” than at other schools, and public speaking became, and to some extent remains,a Hamilton tradition. College life in the nineteenth century was rigorous.Students studied by lamp and kept warm by fires fueled with wood that they themselves had gathered.Each morn- i n g ,t h ey met in Philip Hooker ’ s unique three-story chapel to hear a lesson,usually from the preside n t . Although the req u i re m e n t of chapel attendance has long since dis- appeared,this most beautiful of the College’s buildings continues to dominate the central quadrangle.The social activities of undergraduates,left mostly to their own ingenuity and direction,led to the early growth of literary societies which sponsored programs of declamation and debate. Social fraternities were first formed on campus du r ing the 1830s, and several continue to exist today.Athletic activities of the informa l variety were the rule until the end of the century, when organized intercollegiate sports began to appear. As the College entered its second century in 1912,Hamilton was preparing itself for the modern era.An ambitious building program under President Melancthon Woolsey Stryker (1892-1917) had given the College facilities that were the envy of peer institutions,and the curriculum had been substantially revised to accommodate modern languages and the sciences. However, it was under President Stryker’s successor, Frederick Carlos Ferry (1917- 1938),that Hamilton achieved solid academic status among America’s leading liberal arts institutions.Actively supported by Elihu Root,the distinguished statesman and Nobel prize laureate who was chairman of the board of trustees,President Ferry nurtured Hamilton as a place of quality teaching and learning.The work of modern- izing the curriculum was continued,and a comprehensive and innovative athletic 3 History of the College program giving encouragement to amateur enthusiasm and widespread participation was introduced. In the aftermath of World War II,the pace of change accelerated.The student body was expanded and, thanks to a large and ever-growing pool of applicants,its quality was enhanced as well.The faculty also grew in size and stature, and the social sciences became a more vital part of the curriculum through incorporation of course offerings in anthropology, economics and government. Perhaps the most revolutionary change of all occurred when Hamilton established a sister institution, Kirkland College, in 1968. Even though Hamilton remained a me n ’ s school while Kirkland enrolled women only, students cros s - re gi s t e r ed for course s and shared certain facilities,such as the new Burke Library. A coeducational atmos- phere was thus created on the Hill.In addition,Kirkland offered numerous areas of study that wer e not then avai l a b le at Hamilton.When the two colleges wer e combined in 1978, Hamilton became fully coeducational and its curriculum rec e i ved enric h m e n t from Kirkland’s,particularly in the performing and studio arts and in such fields as comparative literature and sociology. In recent years the curriculum has been further expanded to incorporate inter- disciplinary studies such as Africana,American,Asian,Latin American and Women’s Studies,as well as computer science and a program in public policy.Also, the physical plant has been continuously renovated and expanded,providing students with access to exceptionally modern facilities and equipment for both academic and extracur- ricular pursuits.Among recent developments are extensive renovations of facilities for the sciences,new language laboratories, an audio-visual center, a writing center, the Emerson Gallery for the exhibition of works of fine art and the expansion of the Robert E. Jones Computer Center.The latest major projects to be dedicated, the Hans H.Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts and the William M. Bristol, Jr. Swimming Pool, were constructed in 1988.Construction on the Walter Beinecke, Jr. Student Activities Village was completed in the summer of 1993. In 1992 the College that evolved from Samuel Kirkland’s plan of education cele- brated the 180th anniversary of its charter. Far from the modest frontier school for white and Oneida Indian children that the missionary envisioned,it has become an institution of higher education that draws its students from all areas of our country and even beyond its borders.Although Hamilton remains small by present-day stan- da r ds and currently has a student body of only 1,650, it provides res o u r ces and fac i l i t i e s for a quality education that compare favorably with those offered by undergraduate institutions substantially larger in size.While faithfully maintaining the tradition of liberal learning in a comfortably intimate environment,Hamilton has responded to changing needs and circumstances in preparing its students for a world unimagined by Samuel Kirkland in the days of our nation’s infancy.

  • En Torno a «María» De Jorge Isaacs1
    En torno a «María» de Jorge Isaacs1 Carmen de Mora Jorge Isaacs: La política, las letras y la educación Jorge Isaacs, junto con Rafael Pombo y Tomás Carrasquilla, es el iniciador de una etapa fundacional en la literatura colombiana, entre 1820 y 1900, marcada por la tensión entre la imitación y asimilación de modelos europeos, de un lado, y por el propósito de crear una tradición literaria propia mediante la incorporación de elementos autóctonos, de otro. Eduardo Camacho Guizado ha distinguido en dicha etapa tres períodos. El primero (1820-1840) constituye una época de transición de un neoclasicismo tardío a un romanticismo incipiente. El segundo (1840-1880) es una época revolucionaria de liberalismo, federalismo, desamortización de los bienes eclesiásticos y reacción conservadora, presidida por el caudillaje de Mosquera, en la que e manifiesta la insurgencia de los poetas románticos, la consolidación del costumbrismo en novelas de cierto valor, la aparición de la novela romántica y el «virgilianismo americano». La tercera (1880-1890), dominada prácticamente por la contrarrevolución conservadora, por la acción de Núñez y la Regeneración, produce en literatura diversas y valiosas manifestaciones que van desde el romanticismo tardío hasta la incubación y afirmación del modernismo y la obra narrativa de Carrasquilla. La biografía de Isaacs interesa al lector de María por la existencia de algunos datos reveladores que ilustran la realidad novelesca. Por tratarse de una evocación del mundo de la adolescencia es la primera etapa la que aporta mayor número de materiales a la realidad ficticia, tales como la ascendencia de Isaacs, formación, posesiones y problemas económicos de la familia.

  • Colombia Curriculum Guide 090916.Pmd
    National Geographic describes Colombia as South America’s sleeping giant, awakening to its vast potential. “The Door of the Americas” offers guests a cornucopia of natural wonders alongside sleepy, authentic villages and vibrant, progressive cities. The diverse, tropical country of Colombia is a place where tourism is now booming, and the turmoil and unrest of guerrilla conflict are yesterday’s news. Today tourists find themselves in what seems to be the best of all destinations... panoramic beaches, jungle hiking trails, breathtaking volcanoes and waterfalls, deserts, adventure sports, unmatched flora and fauna, centuries old indigenous cultures, and an almost daily celebration of food, fashion and festivals. The warm temperatures of the lowlands contrast with the cool of the highlands and the freezing nights of the upper Andes. Colombia is as rich in both nature and natural resources as any place in the world. It passionately protects its unmatched wildlife, while warmly sharing its coffee, its emeralds, and its happiness with the world. It boasts as many animal species as any country on Earth, hosting more than 1,889 species of birds, 763 species of amphibians, 479 species of mammals, 571 species of reptiles, 3,533 species of fish, and a mind-blowing 30,436 species of plants. Yet Colombia is so much more than jaguars, sombreros and the legend of El Dorado. A TIME magazine cover story properly noted “The Colombian Comeback” by explaining its rise “from nearly failed state to emerging global player in less than a decade.” It is respected as “The Fashion Capital of Latin America,” “The Salsa Capital of the World,” the host of the world’s largest theater festival and the home of the world’s second largest carnival.

This dissertation also analyzes the ways in which melodrama recast different senses of community. With an archival perspective, it traces how diverse social actors appropriated melodrama for individual and Group aGendas, as they entered the modern political pact, the pact of representation. More specifically, and by bridGinG Latin American and Euro-American theories of melodrama, this dissertation traces key narrative conventions and argues that, across the social spectrum, actors recast the dynamics of representation durinG the period by visualizing classed, raced, and gendered anxieties vis-à-vis change throuGh the interrelated media of literature, illustrated periodicals, and film.
