Running head: A PASSAGE TO BOWLING GREEN 1 A Passage to Bowling Green: A Chronological Exploration of James Baldwin’s Connection to BGSU’s Ethnic Studies Department Blaze Campbell Bowling Green State University A PASSAGE TO BOWLING GREEN 2 Abstract James Baldwin became connected to Bowling Green State University’s (BGSU) Ethnic Studies Department starting in the late 1970s, making four visits to campus, once as a guest speaker, once as a Write-in-Residence, and twice as a Distinguished Visiting Professor. The purpose of this paper is to understand how the relationship between BGSU and Baldwin developed. I constructed a historical, chronological narrative utilizing primary sources including various documents from BGSU’s archival collection to understand Baldwin’s affiliation with the university.

  • A History of Kent State University: Nearing a Century of Kent Pride
    I This history of the University resulted from many collaborative and creative efforts,but special recognition is due William H.Hilde- brand for his authorship and guidance.Kent State University Press graciously permitted use of materials from The Years of Youth by Phillip R.Shriver and A Book of Memories, edited by William H.Hildebrand,Dean H.Keller,and Anita D. Herington.Special thanks to Jeanne M.Somers and the staff of Special Collections and Archives for their assistance. © 1998 by Kent State University September 27,1910. At first everything went wrong, the day the state commission to choose the site of the northeastern Ohio normal school came to Kent. The 4,500 residents awoke to a chill wet morning of fog so dense it smudged their weeks of work to make the village sparkle and shine. Then the wires of communication got crossed. And when the five commission members detrained at the Erie Depot at 11:00 a.m.,there was no one to welcome them because the reception committee of the Kent Board of Trade was a mile away,on the outskirts of town. They expected the state commissioners to be traveling by motorcar and were waiting to greet them along the roads coming from Wadsworth—one of many competitors for the normal school, which was much coveted for the prosperity and prestige it would bring. After some embarrassed scurrying about,the Kent men finally found the commissioners, clad them in borrowed rain gear and boots,and drove them out unpaved East Main Street to survey the farm William S.Kent was offering as site for the school.

  • Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 1 1 77-2415
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
