The Fount the CITADEL SCHOOL of HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES NEWSLETTER SPRING 2014- Vol The Fount THE CITADEL SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES NEWSLETTER SPRING 2014- Vol. 10 Iss. 2 Note from the Dean Dear Alumni and Friends, Two themes run through most of my introductory notes to these newsletters. They are appropriate for this one as well. One is that the students and the faculty of the School of Humanities & Social Sciences have long been, and continue to be, the most dynamic and productive academic unit on campus. Below, for example, you’ll read about the accomplishments of Julie Lipovsky and Nolan Moore (recipients of this year’s Al- gernon Sydney Sullivan Awards for faculty and students respectively), Jack Porter (winner of the Grim- sley Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and the 11th of our professors in the last 13 years to be so honored ), Collin Hicks (this year’s Regimental Commander), Preston Hipps (recipient of the David Shindler Spell Second Honor Graduate Award who is on his way to study first on a one-year Ful- bright Scholarship to Mexico and then at the Harvard School of Law), Matthew Bernard (who has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study in Malaysia), and Erin Bucherl and Elizabeth Stephenson (who have been awarded equally prestigious Boren scholarships to study in Tanzania and China, respec- tively). You’ll also read about other of our professors and students who organized special, campus-wide programs involving Rick Atkinson (Pulitzer-Prize winning author of the Liberation Trilogy) , Robert Ed- sel (author of Monuments Men and advisor to movie of the same name), national experts from the De- partment of Homeland Security, and leading authorities on the politics of the American South. The second theme is that these, and the other accomplishments about which you’ll read, were made pos- sible by contributions made to The Citadel Foundation and its SHSS Dean’s Excellence Fund. In an era when the percentage of the college’s operating costs from state appro- priations continues to shrink into the single digits, those contributions (in denominations small or large) are ever more critical to The Citadel’s success. Thanks for keeping us in mind. And have a great summer! Best regards, Bo Winfred B. Moore, Jr., Ph.D., Colonel SCM, Dean of Humanities & Social Sciences The Citadel named top public college in the South by U.S. News, AGAIN! For the third consecutive year, The Citadel has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the top public college in the south for institutions granting up to a master's degree.

Additional discussants included Dr. Steve Nida, Dr. Conway Saylor, and Dr. Chip Taylor, all of The Department of Psychology at The Citadel, who have conducted research on ostra- cism and bullying in children and adolescents. Restored photograph from Rick Rhodes of Charleston 1865. Movie poster for REJECT. March 4th — The Last Full Measure: Songs and Stories of the Civil War A collaboration between The Citadel Choir and the NoSeeums Band explored the Civil War through songs of the time, with original compositions by musician Dana Downs, and readings of the words of the soldiers and leaders who lived during this defining event of our nation. Photographs of the Civil War era digitally restored by Rick Rhodes provided moving backdrop to the music. March 6th & 7th – Symposium on Southern Politics The Department of Political Science hosted The Citadel Symposium on South- ern Politics this Spring, the largest and most comprehensive conference for the presentation and discussion of scholarly research on the contemporary politics of a specific region in the country. The Symposium has been held biennially, in even- numbered years, on the campus of The Citadel since 1978. The Director of the Symposium is Scott Bu- chanan, with DuBose Kapeluck assisting as co- director, both of the Department of Political Science, The Citadel. Nearly 100 political scientists, historians, researchers and university students of political science from around the country attended the 15 panel sessions dealing with various issues in the political culture of the South and looked forward to the elections of 2014. An article about one discussion during the Symposium can be found here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ glen-browder/persistence-of-race-in- south_b_5001569.html Scott Buchanan addressing attendees of the Symposium on Southern Politics. School of Humanities & Social Sciences Spring 2014 Events March 14th – “Follow the Leaders: What Our Military History Teaches About Being in Charge and Bring- ing Back the Dead: History, Memory, and Writing About War” Pulitzer Prize winning author, Rick Atkinson was the keynote speaker at the Spring Leadership Symposium sponsored by the Henry & Jenny Johnson Fund for His- torical Studies. Rick Atkinson’s most recent best-seller, “The Guns at Last Light: The War in Europe, 1944-1945”, which was the final volume of his Liberation Trilogy, was released in 2013. The Trilogy is a narrative history of the U.S. military’s role in the liberation of Europe in World War II. The first volume, An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942 - 1943, received the Pulitzer Prize and was acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal as “the best World Rick Atkinson addressing the cadets and others at the Spring Leadership War II battle narrative since Cornelius Ryan’s classics, Symposium The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.” Atkinson served as a reporter, foreign correspondent, and senior editor for 25 years at the Washington Post. His most re- cent assignments include covering the 101st Airborne during the invasion of Iraq, and writing about roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2007. His many awards for his books and reporting include the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for history; the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting; and the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for public service, awarded to the Washington Post for a series of investigative articles directed and edited by Atkinson. He has served as the Gen. Omar N. Bradley Chair of Stra- tegic Leadership at the U.S. Army War College, where he remains an adjunct faculty member. April 3rd - “The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History” Author Robert Edsel packed the house for the largest Fine Arts event to date at The Citadel. Nearly 1500 attendees filled McAlister Field House on the evening of April 3rd for the memorable talk by Edsel. Opening up the evening was a surprise guest appearance by Charleston local, Bill Murray. Murray who was one of the stars of the movie Monuments Men, based on the book, welcomed the crowd. Robert Edsel is a New York Times bestselling author and shared with those in attendance his experience uncovering the most comprehensive art theft of all time, when Adolf Hitler looted thousands of significant artistic masterpieces throughout Europe during World War II. His book tells the incredible true story of the Monuments Men, a small group of art experts-turned-soldiers assembled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These unlikely heroes bravely went be- hind enemy lines to locate and recover mankind’s greatest artifacts, saving them from imminent destruction by the Nazis. The book inspired the movie directed by and starring George Clooney along with Matt Damon and Bill Murray.

  • In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT
    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. atpIssuel 4,aFall 1999 y In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT aggie Edson — the celebrated playwright who is so far Off- Broadway, she’s below the Mason-Dixon line — is performing a Mdaily ritual known as Wiggle Down. " Tapping my toe, just tapping my toe" she sings, to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain," before a crowd of kindergarteners at a downtown elementary school in Atlanta. "What a glorious feeling, I'm — nodding my head!" The kids gleefully tap their toes and nod themselves silly as they sing along. "Give yourselves a standing O!" Ms. Edson cries, when the song ends. Her charges scramble to their feet and clap their hands, sending their arms arcing overhead in a giant "O." This willowy 37-year-old woman with tousled brown hair and a big grin couldn't seem more different from Dr. Vivian Bearing, the brilliant, emotionally remote English professor who is the heroine of her play WIT — which has won such unanimous critical acclaim in its small Off- Broadway production. Vivian is a 50-year-old scholar who has devoted her life to the study of John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." When we meet her, she is dying of very placement of a comma crystallizing mysteries of life and death for ovarian cancer. Bald from chemotherapy, she makes her entrance clad Vivian and her audience. For this feat, one critic demanded that Ms. Edson in a hospital gown, dragging an IV pole.
