Rieser ’44 Provost and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Jane Carroll Hanover, NH August 15 and 28, and October 22, 1996 Phonotape Nos. 1176 R547/1–5 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Leonard Rieser Interview INTERVIEW: Leonard Rieser INTERVIEWED BY: Jane Carroll PLACE: Leonard Rieser’s office Hanover, NH DATE: August 16, 1996 CARROLL: Today is the 16th of August 1996, and I’m speaking with former Provost and Dean of the Faculty Leonard Rieser here in his office in Hanover, New Hampshire. I was curious when you first came to Dartmouth. That was 1940? RIESER: As an undergraduate. CARROLL: As an undergraduate. How did you choose Dartmouth? RIESER: Your question’s very perceptive, as you’ll see from your answer. It was certainly my intention to go to Harvard, and my family’s intention; and as late as July of 1940 I was sitting at the camp where I was a counselor, talking to a friend with whom I planned to room in freshman dorms. We were picking a room. And I had a phone call from my home that a telegram had come saying something about “Harvard is sorry, but your score on your recent English exam meant that you would have to wait a year to come to Harvard.” That set in motion a search for an alternative. In retrospect, I’m surprised that I wasn’t more discouraged by that, or depressed, but it’s because I really hadn’t thought much about alternatives. I may have, earlier, applied to Reed College, I don’t remember, or whether I did it then.

Forward 4 1979 marked the 200th anniversary of the Sullivan-Clinton expedition against those Iroquois nations that allied themselves with Britain and the Loyalists during the American Revolution. It is a little-understood (more often misunderstood) military incursion with diplomatic, economic, and decided geo-political consequences. Unfortunately, most people, including most municipal historians, know little about the expedition beyond what is recorded on roadside markers. In 1929, during the sesquicentennial celebrations of the American Revolution, the states of New York and Pennsylvania established a special commission that produced a booklet, sponsored local pageants, and erected many commemorative tablets in both states.

  • THE POLITICAL THOUGHT of BENJAMIN RUSH by PAUL FRANK
    THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF BENJAMIN RUSH By PAUL FRANK ,,LAMBERT Bachelor of Arts in Education East Central State College Ada, Oklahoma 1968 S~bmitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1971 THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF BENJAMIN RUSH Thesis Approved : ii PREFACE This thesis is concerned with illustrating and examining the political thought of Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia. Rush, the ·' most famous Anierican physician of his day, moved within the circle of such men as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and n~merous other luminaries of that era. Furthermore, his adult life spanned the period from the Stamp Act Crisis of 1765 to the War of 1812. His importance notwithstanding, Ru~h has not been studied thoroughly by historians, and his political thought is only one facet of this versatile and i;ignificant individual t;hat has been neglected. Many people come to mind while contemplating the debts of grati­ tude I owe regarding this thesis. Some were not immediately involved in the project. In this category, I must include my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lambert of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, whose encouragement over the years has been instrumental in my educational achievements to date. Thanks is also due a number of professors, both at East Central State College, Ada, Oklahoma, and at Oklahoma State University, who have inspired me to further my professional training. A special acknowledgment should also be extended to the staff of the Oklahoma State Vniversity Library for their willing assistance in my research p~oblems.

Watson: But I got hung up in a different way. Just as I was getting in my car, my trousers got caught on a piece of broken metal at the back of the car. Professor Sadler ran into it yesterday – and ripped my trouser leg right down so I had to rush back and change my pants. Hopkins: I'm sorry for the cause, but I'm kind of glad you were delayed. This was an interesting telephone conversation. It was with a fellow named Gordon who is the head of the company that made the silver bowl and he just wanted some assurance it was all right and so forth. He's a very, very attractive fellow, but I have just barely met him though. I donʼt know him well at all. Childs: It looked like a beautiful bowl. I trust it's as beautiful as it looked there. Is it? It's a perfect reproduction, isnʼt it? Hopkins: Just a perfect reproduction. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. Childs: I told you ahead of time I wasn't going to get to your dinner. But I did. I was so glad… so thrilled by it. It was wonderful.

FIFTH SERIES. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY. M.DCCC.LXXXII. 4 UNIVERSITY PRESS: JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE. SECOND EDITION. 5 PREFATORY NOTE This volume, the third of the series of the SEWALL PAPERS, completes the publication from the manuscript diary of Judge Sewall, in the Cabinet of the Society. The most important of his other papers in our possession is a very large volume, much of it closely written, contain- ing his correspondence, with miscellaneous matter. It is intended that the contents of this volume, also, shall be transcribed; but it has not as yet been decided whether the whole of its contents, which would fill at least two volumes of our series, shall be published, or only such a selection of its more important papers as might be gathered into one volume. 6 DIARY OF SAMUEL SEWALL. [Judge Sewall having gone from home to hold court, the following ex- tracts, enclosed between asterisks, are from entries in the small volume which he carried with him, labelled "Magunkaquog," See Vol. II., p. 425.] * May 10. 1714.
