Pernick Professor Rebecca J. Scott © Rabia Shahin Belt 2015 DEDICATION For my Family ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been honored and blessed to have such wonderful advisors who have guided me every step of the way through graduate school. Little did Phil Deloria know 10 years ago that he would spend so much time reading about insanity. I am grateful that he brought his deep intelligence, sense of humor and insight, and steady hand to this endeavor. Woof. When I first read Susanna Blumenthal’s CV online, I told myself, I want to be like this person. I am so thankful that she has taken me under her wing. Rebecca Scott and Martha Jones have provided me with lovely examples of what a legal historian should be. I first read Marty Pernick’s work in college and I am gratified to know that the person behind the work is just as inspirational. Thank you to Matt Lassiter for acting as my Obi-Won Kenobi throughout graduate school. Though he was not on my formal committee, thank you to Matthew Countryman for his always sage advice and guidance. Thank you too to Gina Morantz-Sanchez, who greeted me during my first days of graduate school and kept on acting as my cheerleader. At Georgetown, Daniel Ernst, Greg Klass, Dan Super, and Robin West served as teachers, mentors, and guides. I am always grateful to Marlene Moore, who truly created the joint degree program and always went above and beyond the call of duty. I owe a great debt to lovely mentors Guy-Uriel Charles and Dorothy Brown, who whipped this grasshopper into shape. Thank you to law school and grad school mentors Evelyn Alsultany, Jacqueline Antonovich, Sam Bagenstos, Nyantung Ahang Beny, Alfred Brophy, Alicia Davis, Luis Fuentes-Rohwer, Sally Gordon, Ariela Gross, Samuel Gross, Don Herzog, Ellen Katz, Mary Kelley, Scott Kurashige, Tim Lovelace, Jonathan Metzl, Naomi Mezey, Tiya Miles, Julian Mortenson, Nadine Naber, Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Eloise Pasachoff, Charles Postel, John Pottow, JJ Prescott, Melynda Price, Hannah Rosen, Bertrall Ross, Daniel Sharfstein, Karl Shoemaker, David Tanenhaus, Michael Waterstone, Barbara Welke, Diana Williams, Magdalena Zaborowska, and Sarah Zearfoss.

Despite the patchwork of laws limiting the voting rights of people with mental disabilities, one of America’s largest minority groups, few researchers have investigated the constitutional strategy utilized for disenfranchisement or the subsequent legal challenges that arose. Through a fine-grained analysis of constitutional and legislative debates, court cases, trade documents, newspapers, and petitions, from the beginning of these suffrage restrictions to the enactment of the 19th Amendment, I describe a “common sense” disability model – the methodology behind barring people with alleged mental disabilities from the franchise. I consider how and why state legislators prohibited individuals’ right to vote based on mental capacity in state statutes and constitutions. I show that two groups –African Americans, and women – were labeled as unfit for suffrage and full political citizenship because of their assumed mental deficiencies, and how each of these groups deployed their own definitions of mental capacity as they fought for the franchise. I then examine the subsequent court and congressional challenges involving people alleged to have voted despite their being judged to lack the necessary mental capacity. I conclude by reflecting on the changed landscape of the twentieth century, as statutory provisions such as the American with Disabilities Act vii and the Voting Rights Act, and political movements such as the disability rights movement challenged the exclusion of the disempowered from the franchise. viii INTRODUCTION “When hereditary wealth, the privileges of rank, and the prerogatives of birth have ceased to be, and when every man derives his strength from himself alone, it becomes evident that the chief cause of disparity between the fortunes of men is the mind. Whatever tends to invigorate, to extend, or to adorn the mind, instantly rises to a high value.” Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Volume 2, 18401 “I just think if you are declared insane you should not be allowed to vote, period…Is insanity a disability? I have an answer to that: no. You're insane; you're nuts.” Joseph DeLorenzo, Chairman of the Cranston, New Jersey Board of Canvassers, June 19, 20072 On October 14, 2007, a New York Times reader would come across a curious article. It begins: “All jokes aside about what portion of the state’s population could be ineligible to vote, the New Jersey Constitution does actually bar idiots from voting.” According to the New Jersey Constitution, “no idiot or insane person shall enjoy the right of suffrage.” Although this traditional language might

    MARTHA SCHOFIELD AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WOMAN’S AUTONOMOUS LIFE: 1858-1870 by MELANIE ROSEANNE PAVICH (Under the Direction of Ronald E. Butchart) ABSTRACT Martha Schofield was a Quaker, a teacher, and a woman who came of age at the beginning of the Civil War. She began teaching in 1858 both to contribute to her family’s income and in answer to what she came to believe was her life’s calling. Along with abolitionism, women’s rights, and temperance were among the causes she and her family supported. In addition, her mother was a Quaker minister, often travelling from home to preach as well as to lecture. During the war Martha taught in a school for free blacks in Philadelphia and volunteered as a hospital worker and nurse. Her influences were many for women’s contributions in a reforming and expanded post-war world, including Lucretia Mott, Anna Dickinson, and Susan B. Anthony. At the same time, Martha hoped to become a wife and mother but that was not to be. Instead, with failing health she ventured south, first to coastal South Carolina and eventually to the town of Aiken, to dedicate her life to the uplift of former slaves. By 1871, she established what would become the Schofield Normal and Industrial School in Aiken, living and working there until her death in 1916. Through choice and circumstances, Martha Schofield became a freedmen’s teacher, established a school, and secured its success through her business and fundraising skills. For most of her adult life, she worked tirelessly for the rights of African Americans and women.

In most Reconstruction literature, the question of black American freedom and citizenship was the central issue of Reconstruction, but not to the Republicans. The question of black American freedom and citizenship was the most salient issue to them, but they set that issue within a larger problem: the political regime of the antebellum slave South had deviated from the plan of the American Founders long before secession in 1860-1861.

Hogarty The selection of a new university president, an event of major importance in academic life, is usually filled with tensions on the part of those concerned about its outcome. The 1992 presidential search at the University of Massachusetts exemplifies such ten- sions. There were mixed reactions to the overall performance. When they finished reviewing candidates, the search committee had eliminated all but Michael K. Hooker, who, they deemed, has the necessary competence, vision, and stature for the task. The main conflict centered on the question of "process" versus "product. " The trustees rejoiced in what they considered an impressive choice, while many faculty were angered over what they considered a terrible process.

No manual or campus report will reveal the one best way to conduct a presidential search. How to do so is not easy to prescribe. Suitably fleshed out, the events surrounding these five searches tell us a great deal about what works and what doesn 't. It is one thing to offer case illustrations ofpast events, another to say how they might be put to use by other people in another era with quite different situations and concerns. In evaluating these transitions and leaderships, this article also raises the question of what is the proper role of the president in university governance.

Neely, Jr. McCabe-Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Matthew J. Restall Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women‘s Studies Carla J. Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

  • Bradbury Seasholes
    Bradbury Seasholes Bradbury Seasholes served Tufts University and the Department of Political Science with distinction for thirty-two years. Through his teaching, scholarship, administrative positions and counseling of thousands of students, Seasholes displayed a record of extraordinary achievement. Seasholes was born and raised in Ohio and received his undergraduate education at Oberlin College. At Oberlin Seasholes pursued a doctorate in his major, Political Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. At Chapel Hill, Seasholes sailed through his courses, orals, and dissertation with honors and gained his first teaching experience as well. His dissertation dealt with “Negro,” now “Black” and/or “African-American,” political participation; an area to which he later made significant contributions. At Chapel Hill he met visiting Professor Robert Wood from MIT who enticed Seasholes to Cambridge, Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Political Science Faculty. With is new Ph.D. he worked with Wood at The Institute and the Harvard-MIT Joint Center for Urban Studies on research and scholarly papers. In 1962, at the annual Tufts Assembly on Massachusetts Government, Seasholes met Professor Robert Robbins, Chair of the Department of Political Science, and Lincoln Filene Center Director, Franklin Patterson. These two professors, impressed with the Seasholes-Wood paper and Seasholes’ solid Political Science credentials made Seasholes an offer to come to Tufts University. Thus, Seasholes came to Tufts in July, 1963 as Assistant Professor of Political Science and Director of Political Science for the Lincoln Filene Center. He worked with considerable energy and dedication in many kinds of academic and real-world enterprises.
