UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES THE UNIVERSITY OF LIB.USM.EDU FY 2016-17 SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AA/EOE/ADAI UC 77367 1.18 ANNUAL REPORT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI INSIDE FRONT COVER [this page should be blank when printing] UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES The University of Southern Mississippi Libraries are undergoing many of the same transformations seen in higher education lately. As dean of University Libraries, I can attest to the continuous changes occurring in our libraries across our campuses. We are steadily becoming more digital, using technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and rethinking how we support research and teaching. We are more intensely focused on student success, delivering content and services that help students and faculty work more productively. And we are working harder to establish relationships and partnerships that will develop into positive, natural arrangements to benefit students. Case in point, funding has been identified and planning has begun to remodel a substantial portion of Cook Library to improve spaces for student-athletes, as well as the general student population, providing better, more inviting and functional spaces A MESSAGE for study. On the Gulf Park campus, new spaces have been created, including a 24/7 study area. We are investing in technology to better manage digital collections so access is improved and researchers are able to carry out their work more efficiently. FROM Projects like the Golden Eagle Textbook Initiative help students neutralize the cost of textbooks, and the Open Textbook Initiative moves our campus toward a more sustainable position in delivering THE DEAN course content to students efficiently and economically. In University Libraries, we are implementing our best ideas to deliver excellent service and provide relevant research material so our campus community can flourish and grow academically. Access to knowledge and the latest ideas is key to the success of any research university. So we are determined to act strategically to maximize our resources to benefit students, faculty and staff.

  • Poverty, Charity and the Papacy in The
    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

That day was the deadline for committee action on non-revenue bills, and the House Rules Committee declined to act on the proposed bill, S.B. 2386, An Act to Create an Advisory Commission on Local Govern­ ment Records. Such a commission, if established, would have made specific recomen­ dations to the legislature regarding archival practices at the local government records level. S. B. 2386 was a direct result of the State Historical Records Assessment and Reporting Project.

This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South. By 1966, the emergence of the Black Power Movement, which lasted roughly from 1966 to 1975, enlarged the aims of the Civil Rights Movement to include racial dignity, economic and political self-sufficiency, and freedom from oppression by white Americans. Many of those who were active in the Civil Rights Movement, with organizations such as NAACP, SNCC, CORE and SCLC, prefer the term "Southern Freedom Movement" because the struggle was about far more than just civil rights under law; it was also about fundamental issues of freedom, respect, dignity, and economic and social equality. During the period 1955–1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to crisis situations which highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans.

Wanting to show a commitment to the civil rights movement and minimize racial tensions in the South, the Eisenhower administration pressured Congress to consider new civil rights legislation.

  • “The Saddest Story of the Whole Movement”: the Clyde Kennard Case and the Search for Racial Reconciliation in Mississippi, 1955–2007
    “THE SADDEST STORY OF THE WHOLE MOVEMENT” 191 “The Saddest Story of the Whole Movement”: The Clyde Kennard Case and the Search for Racial Reconciliation in Mississippi, 1955–2007 by Timothy J. Minchin and John A. Salmond In December 2005, Jackson Clarion-Ledger reporter Jerry Mitchell tracked down the key witness from a little-known trial that had occurred in Hattiesburg more than forty-five years earlier. In November 1960, the testimony of Johnny Lee Roberts had provided the crucial evidence lead- ing to the conviction of Clyde Kennard, a thirty-three-year-old farmer who was trying to become the first African American to attend Missis- sippi Southern College (now the University of Southern Mississippi). As an illiterate nineteen-year old, Roberts had testified that he had planned a burglary of the Forrest County Co-op with Kennard, who he claimed had asked for some chicken feed “on the side.” For this crime, the former University of Chicago student had received a maximum seven- year sentence in the Parchman Penitentiary, a sentence that prevented his ever applying to any of Mississippi’s all-white colleges again. Now, TIMOTHY J. MINCHIN is professor of North American history at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. He has published widely on labor and civil rights history, including Fighting Against the Odds: A History of Southern Labor Since World War II (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2005). JOHN A SALMOND is emeritus professor of American history at La Trobe University. He has published widely in the field of Southern history, including Southern Struggles.
