Dwyer ADULT EDUCATION IN CIVIL WAR RICHMOND January 1861-April 1865 by John L. Dwyer Committee Chairperson: Harold W. Stubblefield Adult and Continuing Education (ABSTRACT) This study examines adult education in Civil War Richmond from January 1861 to April 1865. Drawing on a range of sources (including newspapers, magazines, letters and diaries, reports, school catalogs, and published and unpublished personal narratives), it explores the types and availability of adult education activities and the impact that these activities had on influencing the mind, emotions, and attitudes of the residents. The analysis reveals that for four years, Richmond, the Capital of the Confederacy, endured severe hardships and tragedies of war: overcrowdedness, disease, wounded and sick soldiers, food shortages, high inflationary rates, crime, sanitation deficiencies, and weakened socio-educational institutions. Despite these deplorable conditions, the examination reveals that educative systems of organizations, groups, and individuals offered the opportunity and means for personal development and growth. The study presents and tracks the educational activities of organizations like churches, amusement centers, colleges, evening schools, military, and voluntary groups to determine the type and theme of their activities for educational purposes, such as personal development, leisure, and recreation.

  • New Morning for the World: a Landmark Commission by the Eastman School of Music
    New Morning for the World: A Landmark Commission by the Eastman School of Music Introductory reflections by Paul J. Burgett University of Rochester Vice President Robert Freeman, Director of the Eastman School of Music from 1972 to 1996, is an avid baseball fan. He is fond of recounting that he became especially impressed by the Pittsburgh Pirates while watching the 1979 World Series at home, with his wife Carol, in which the Pirates, trailing the Baltimore Orioles three games to one, rebounded and won the Series in game seven. Bob marveled especially at the grit, inspiring spirit, elegant demeanor, and warm mellifluous voice of the Pirates’ iconic captain and that year’s MVP, Willie Stargell. The wheels of invention began to turn in Freeman’s mind. If Stargell and his teammates could fill a baseball stadium with 59,000 fans for a game, he mused, might Stargell, whose very gracious manner and resonant baritone voice, together with a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer from the Eastman School’s faculty, collaborate in a musical masterpiece to fill American concert halls that would draw thousands of baseball and music enthusiasts? And could they parlay their collective expertise and visibility to draw attention to one of the most critical social movements of the time, the Civil Rights movement? At Freeman’s initiative, AT&T commissioned Joseph Schwantner, professor of composition at Eastman, to create a major work for orchestra and narrator, the texts of which were taken from speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thus was New Morning for the World born. The piece received its world premiere in 1983 to a full house at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

"The Life of Abraham Lincoln" Painting 1 of 5 A Living Resource Guide to Lincoln's Life and Legacy “THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN” PAINTING, LESSONS, & PROJECTS IDEAS In a Press Release on December 19, 2007, Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Suellen Reed encouraged students and adults to read and learn about Abraham Lincoln, who spent his formative childhood hears in Indiana, in preparation for the bicentennial celebration of his birth coming in February 2009. As part of that effort, Dr. Reed unveiled a portrait of Lincoln and his life titled “The Life of Abraham Lincoln” by artist Thomas Kennedy. This sample teaching guide, a companion piece to the portrait, will help teachers and students appreciate Lincoln’s many accomplishments and greatness as depicted in the painting (See www.in.gov/lincoln - the Indiana Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission Web site.). About the Painting . “The life of Abraham Lincoln” by Indiana artist Thomas Kennedy depicts Lincoln’s life through a composite of images surrounding a central portrait. The painting leads viewers through Lincoln’s beginnings in Kentucky, his youth in Spencer County, Indiana, his move to Illinois as an adult, and his challenges as President. Exploration of the painting reveals representations of family influences and the progression of Lincoln’s interests and work, revealing highlights and insights into the life story of our 16th President. About the Artist • Artist Tom Kennedy began his Lincoln project with the intention of creating a portrait of the President. Realizing that he “could only recall a handful of things about him,” Kennedy began in depth research that quickly led him to become intrigued with Lincoln’s life.
