    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume XLVIII MARCH,1952 Number 1 The Theory of the History of an American Section and the Practice of R. Carlyle Buley Fulmer Mood* From time to time, and never at regular or predictable intervals, there will appear upon American bookstands some work from an historian's pen which by manifesting some spe- cial merit or combination of merits warrants the most careful, extended consideration. Such a work was the late Clarence W. Alvord's The Mississippi Valley in British Politics, and such a work is the one now under review, by Professor Buley, The Old Northwest: Pioneer Period, 1815-1840.l In dealing With works of the kind it is not enough to appraise and estimate them from the point of view of their content alone ; it becomes also necessary to treat them against their proper background in the field of historical scholarship, to show where they tie up with earlier valid trends and movements in American histori- cal writing, where and how they depart from these, and wherein they offer new points of view as well as new data and new techniques of presentation. When the present volumes are treated in such a perspective, it will then be seen that The Old Nodhwest: Pioneer Period is a work of scholarship that com- pels the attention of historians, and deserves their sharpest, most sympathetic scrutiny. The perspective in which Professor Buley's volumes re- quire to be studied is a perspective of almost three quarters of a century in length. If the condition of affairs that obtained about 1880 is taken into consideration, American historical writing appears to have been dominated by the generalist, 'the * F'ulmer Mood is professor of history at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas.

  • (76) Talking About Foundation Grants to UW
    Introduction to Russell Sage Foundation. Report of the Princeton Conference. NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 1956. Draft submitted in 2006 to Philanthropy Classics Access Project, Harvard University Frank Emerson Andrews, the author of the Report of the Princeton Conference on the History of Philanthropy in the United States, described the conference as a “stray thread”—an incident in his life that was “related to philanthropy but not a part of the main stream.”1 Perhaps he was too close to the event to see the larger scenario that unfolded. My purpose is to draw together the threads of this gathering and those that hang loosely from it—to look briefly at its roots, its direct products and, perhaps most importantly, its place in a brief but vigorous interlude of research in the field we now call philanthropic studies. The most important characters in the story are the Russell Sage Foundation, the Ford Foundation, F. Emerson Andrews, and Merle Curti. If there was a single trigger for this wave of interest in studying philanthropy, it was the climate for foundations created by the Cox and Reese Commissions between 1952 and 1955. Edward E. Cox, Representative from Georgia, formed the Commission on Foundations and Private Philanthropy in 1952 to investigate allegations that charitable foundations were pushing a socialist agenda. The Commission looked for actual funding of communist causes but also looked more broadly for abuse of tax-exempt status. Other than a few questionable grants, Cox uncovered no crimes, conspiracies, or even concerns. One member of the Commission—B. Carroll Reese, Representative from Tennessee— was not convinced of the findings and was able to have the hearings reopened in 1954.

    Handout 6: TR’s Contemporaries and Historians Weigh In Directions: Find the headings that pertain to your role assignments. Evaluate the source of the information. These excerpts are taken from both primary and secondary sources and date from 1899 to 2012. Underline comments that support TR’s actions and policies in black and use a different color to underline comments that detract from TR’s accomplishments. These statements can be used in the debate with citations. TR Readings Cuba TR was acclaimed by the American Press as the foremost hero of the day. Certainly, he enthusiastically led the Rough Riders into battle and was an inspiration to his men. He was also among the first group of Americans to reach the summit of Kettle Hill. To many newsmen TR was the man who had led the charge that had broken the Spanish defensive line and ensured victory. … TR was presented as the model American citizen who had chosen to fight as a soldier for his country. … The image was forever etched in public memory by Frederic Remington’s celebrated painting entitled The Charge of the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill, 1898 that showed TR leading the charge. TR was certainly brave and inspirational, but the fighting was so confused that it cannot be ascertained with any certainty exactly which officer led the charge. There is no doubt, however that TR stormed Kettle Hill and not the more formidable San Juan, a fact that both he and his admirers conveniently neglected to emphasize.
