  • The English Settlers in Colonial Pennsylvania. 317
    The English Settlers in Colonial Pennsylvania. 317 THE ENGLISH SETTLERS IN COLONIAL PENNSYLVANIA. BY WAYLAND FULLER DUNAWAY, Ph.D. The Pennsylvania State College. Though the English were the dominant racial ele- ment in colonial Pennsylvania, no one has hitherto been at pains to tell the story of this race, as such, in the settlement of the province. A large number of monographs and articles have been written to describe the migrations, settlements and achievements of other elements of the population, such as the Germans, the Scotch-Irish, the Welsh, and the Swedes, but the Eng- lish have been strangely neglected. It would appear that the English of Pennsylvania take themselves for granted, and hence have not felt called upon to write up their own history. Again, they have not been so race-conscious and clannish as some others have been, but rather have been content to dispense with the hy- phen and to become thoroughly Americanized in thought and feeling. Even so, in view of the consid- erable body of literature describing the other original elements of the population and the almost total lack of such literature devoted specifically to the English, it would seem to be in order to give at least a brief sur- vey of the English settlements in the provincial era. For the purposes of this article the colonial period will be construed as extending to 1790, partly because it is a convenient stopping place, and partly because by so doing it is possible to incorporate some of the data gleaned from the first census. No attempt is here made to give an extended treatment of the subject, but merely to call attention to some of its salient fea- tures.

This is understandable, and often necessary, given the sheer diversity of the means by which the individual colonies were established. Consequentially, Atlantic historians often grapple with the wide array of ideas that led to the establishment of the British Empire’s North American assets, and the methods by which these assets were regulated. Given the nature of imperial control over the Atlantic World, ranging from the extent of gubernatorial authority, to public shares and claims to resources, to the very purpose of a colony’s establishment, realizing a universal formula for British rule is all but impossible. However, a useful starting point for gaining a sense of British Atlantic power is to view the colonies themselves, and the elements that constituted their individual foundations.

Colonial Korea and the Olympic Games, 1910–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines how Koreans received and consumed the Olympic Games under Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945). Although a growing body of research on colonial Korea addresses a range of topics beyond politics and economy, sports is still a relatively neglected topic in this field. By exploring Olympic fever in colonial Korea, this study shows how multifaceted aspects of Korean society became a part of the global sports world. Korean athletes participated in the 1932 Summer, 1936 Winter, and 1936 Summer Games as part of the Japanese delegation, attracting much attention from members of all walks of life in colonial Korea. Public figures as varied as political leaders, intellectuals, sport journalists, and athletes recognized and promoted the Games through the burgeoning mass media. As the Olympic Games were a powerful tool for promoting Korean nationalism, Korean athletes’ performance was in the spotlight of Korean vernacular media, which also pursued commercial interests in featuring scandals of athletes. Nevertheless, many advocates of public gymnastics criticized what they perceived as the bourgeois-oriented, if not elitist, nature of the Games.
