In some instances, the students’ names and even the instructors’ names appear on the reproduced drawings. On the whole, these compilations were made by the team’s coordinator, with little input, if any at all, from the other instructors—often during the summer recesses. The assignments were usually devised and written by individual team instructors—usually with the input and/or approval of other members of the teaching team. The names of the authors on some of the assignments’ statements do not indicate that they were the critics behind the examples that are reproduced along with those statements. • Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: First Year Design 1975/1976; Czajka, coordinator; Kamages; Houriahan; Steiglitz. • Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: First Year Design 1976/1977; Czajka, coordinator; Barbasch; Huff; Kleinman. • Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: First Year Design 1977/1978; Czajka, coordinator; Huff; Kleinman; Sadao; Loftness . • Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: First Year Design 1978/1979; Czajka, coordinator; Downing; Hamilton; Huff; Loftness . • Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: First Year Design 1979/1980; Malo, coordinator; Downing; Hamilton; Huff. The first of a series of classic assignments, Building Analysis (Malo), that were originated over the next half decade, was introduced this year. Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: Architecture Studio 1-2: ’80-‘82; Malo, coordinator; Cordts; Downing; Huff (also Fearing and Hamilton). Most of the rest of the classic assignments for this period were introduced at this time: Activity Studies (Downing); Space Boundaries—Carving (Malo) and Space Boundaries—Casting (Malo/ Cordts); Ordering Principles (Cordts); Structure (construction/joining and lateral stability in wood)—The Path and the Place (Huff); Experiments with Daylight (team); Toy—with shop log (Cordts); Toy Shop—using shop log, in concrete block (Cordts). These classic assignments were meant to address 5 major aspects of architectural design, and these 5 aspects were targeted so that at least one problem in each aspect was assigned during the First Year: (1) Anthropometrics and Ergonomics—the body’s relation to itself and to space; (2) Formal or Syntactic Studies— abstract composition; (3) Construction—joining materials and stability; (4) Passive Environmental Control— natural light, acoustics, air flow; (5) Context—urban setting and non-urban landscapes. • Compilation of problem statements and students’ designs: Order Structure Architecture n.d. [1982- 1985]; Malo, coordinator; Cordts; Huff, Schneekloth (also others). William S.

C. Wilson to wsh, 22 ix 1993; 7 vii 1993; 30 ix 1994. Lecture by A. J. C. Wilson: “Crystals and Wallpaper.” One thesis student, Pamela McCracken, was developing a thesis with me on the subject of the 17 repeating wallpaper patterns. There was one facet of the problem, regarding the problem’s regulating definition that general, interdisciplinary texts did not cover and that was, therefore, left as a seeming contradictory point. McCracken’s thesis meant to correct this shortcoming (whose clarification I discovered in one 19th century scientific text, translated coincidentally by UB’s David Harker and wife). McCracken had an especial facility for visual language, especially diagrammatic—and she addressed thoroughly and masterfully the dilemma that was the focus of her thesis. She had, however, difficulty expressing herself verbally. As a result, I began writing some letters of inquiry for her—taking care to keep a proper distance from the execution of the thesis itself. I had engaged a number of outstanding people, who were either crystallographers or were otherwise experts in crystallography, as consultants and advisors. Papers from the important contemporary crystallographer A. J. C. Wilson are in this file. There was a redundancy of different copies of the same Wilson lecture, so I discarded the earliest version with unreadable passages due the quality of the copy. This thesis was of such interest, that it was scheduled for publication. However, McCracken’s husband entered the scene at the end; and he maneuvered for a colleague of his, who was on the UB faculty, to be put onto the thesis committee. In McCracken’s final version, she introduced an extensive feature that she and I had never considered for inclusion and that was, in fact, antithetical to the whole point of the thesis. This action may attest to her not comprehending the worth of what she had done. She could not be persuaded to delete this extraneous and contradictory material, for she had jumped the gun on having the thesis printed and bound. Therefore, I signed her off on her thesis requirement (due to her excellent graphic exposition), but I refused to attach my signature to the printed copies. The plan to publish it was dropped • Article in Journal: Herbert A. Simons, “Understanding Creativity,” Carnegie Review (No 2, 1964- 1965), [8 pages]. William S.

Some of these have lasted a long time and are impor- tant while others existed only a brief period and died, leaving, perhaps, only a name with no date available. In going through the old copies of the Banner the names of many of these latter appear only to be omitted in later issues and so we assume that they passed from the scene. A group might get together for some purpose, select a name, be recorded in the Banner, and then in a short time cease to exist. These we have not included for while they may have been important to the founders, they made no impression on the Yale scene. We have not in- cluded athletics or the preparatory school and state clubs that as a rule meet infrequently, perhaps for one dinner a year, and usually have an ephemeral existence. After months of research we have compiled a list of the more important extracurricular activities, giving, where possible, the date, when they first appeared and if they dropped out, the year. In some cases there are no adequate records and so we have resorted to ques- tion marks.

  • Intellectual Manhood: Becoming Men of the Republic at a Southern University, 1795-1861
    INTELLECTUAL MANHOOD: BECOMING MEN OF THE REPUBLIC AT A SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY, 1795-1861 Timothy J. Williams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Harry L. Watson Donald G. Mathews John F. Kasson James Leloudis Heather Williams ©2010 Timothy J. Williams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Timothy J. Williams Intellectual Manhood: Becoming Men of the Republic at a Southern University, 1795- 1861 (Under the direction of Professor Harry L. Watson) ―Intellectual Manhood‖ explores antebellum southern students‘ personal and civic development at the University of North Carolina, the first state university to open its doors to students. Historians have characterized southern colleges as crucibles of sectional loyalty and culture, aimed at teaching students how to be southerners and gentlemen above all. This dissertation, however, demonstrates that southern education was more nuanced: it was cosmopolitan, southern, and American. Students described its goal as ―intellectual manhood,‖ which they strove to achieve by learning to think, read, write, and speak their way to adulthood. Though collegiate vice and dissipation threatened to impede young men‘s development, formal and informal education at the University emphasized a culture of mental and moral improvement. In the process, students incorporated values conventionally associated with middle-class society— industry, temperance, and discipline—and adapted them (at times uncomfortably) to youth culture and the southern gentry‘s traditional honor-bound, rugged worldview. Young men entered college with ambitions to serve the republic as virtuous, confident, and competent citizens.
