Roger Grant, Committee Chair C. Alan Grubb Orville V. Burton ABSTRACT Founded as a quasi-utopian society by New England evangelists, Oberlin became the central hub of extreme social reform in Ohio’s Western Reserve. Scholars have looked at Oberlin from political and cultural perspectives, but have placed little emphasis on religion. That is to say, although religion is a major highlight of secondary scholarship, few have placed the community appropriately in the dynamic of the East and West social reform movement. Historians have often ignored, or glossed over this important element and how it represented the divergence between traditional orthodoxy in New England and Middle-Atlantic states, and the new religious hybrids found in the West.

After considering the above filings, their attached or referenced exhibits, and for the reasons that follow, Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment are granted in part and denied in part. I. Factual Background Though the Court is not required to make specific findings of fact in ruling on Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment, the Court believes that the factual landscape is an important foundation to the analysis herein.

  • Oberlin—A College and a Cause
    Baumann INTRO:Layout 1 11/14/09 12:36 PM Page 1 Introduction OBERLIN—A COLLEGE AND A CAUSE n the occasion of the sesquicentennial of Oberlin College in March 1983, Professor Geofrey Blodgett wrote, in understated fash- ion, that the institution’s sometimes activist and peculiar history had O“made it a controversial kind of place.”1 Blodgett echoed, perhaps, the sen- timents of founder John Jay Shipherd. One year after the founding, Shipherd had coined the phrase “peculiar in that which is good” to describe both the Oberlin Collegiate Institute and the Oberlin Colony.2 Shipherd, a Presbyterian minister from New York State, and Philo P. Stewart, his classmate and friend, had developed a “Grand Scheme” for the establish- ment of a utopian community in the frontier state of Ohio,3 and together these dreamers had purchased land in the heart of what was popularly called the Western Reserve.4 The founders and their pious followers had selected an unusual loca- tion for the new enterprise—the initial purchase of 0ve hundred acres was swampy, forested land, on a lat, clay plain.5 The site lay thirty-two miles southwest of Cleveland and just eight miles southwest of Elyria, Ohio, where the colonists had 0rst settled. This second settlement was an unattractive place dotted with a few log cabins and mud roads, a place that “brought hard- ship and expense to the early colonists.”6 The disciplined, self-sacri0cing 1 Baumann INTRO:Layout 1 11/14/09 12:36 PM Page 2 Constructing Black Education at Oberlin College families who settled there wanted to promote

See also Hume, Paul, "Music can sing powerfully for peace or war," The Washington \ Academic Regalia at Oberlin: the Establishment and Dissolution of a Tradition Leave a reply By: S.E. Plank, Oberlin College1 [I]f any season is worthy of symbolical expression and emphasis, it is the Commencement season, the initiation of new members into the international fraternity of educated men. .Viewed in this light all the formalism of college life assumes significance; it becomes an awe-full thing to wear a cap and gown. The Oberlin Review (June 21, 1906) Styles of clothing carry feelings and trusts, investments, faiths and formalized fears. Styles exert a social force, they enroll us in armies–moral armies, political armies, gendered armies, social armies. John Harvey, Men in Black (1995) Introduction With the adoption of the Intercollegiate Code in 1895, American universities and colleges embraced a uniformity of design in academic costume that has held sway until the relatively recent proliferation of university-specific gowns.2 Accordingly, studies of American academic costume may find questions of usage a richer inquiry than questions of design and development, questions of social history more compelling than a study of regalia as autonomous objects unto themselves. A particularly interesting example is the usage and social history of regalia at Oberlin College (Ohio), a usage established around the beginning of the twentieth century as the college experienced a burgeoning interest in “collegiateness,” and a usage dramatically altered in the late twentieth century with the politicizing of the campus and its ceremonial events.
