  • Nande Vol19num8 1987 Dec1
    · R·I·T NEWSVol. 19, No. 8 & EVENTSDecember 17, 1987 Event Honors Horton, Benefits Future Scholars A gala testimonial dinner celebrating 25 years in Congress for U.S. Rep. Frank Horton has raised $500,000 for RIT scholarships. An estimated 1,200 people gathered at the Rochester Riverside Con­ vention Center, Friday, Dec. 11 , for the black-tie event. A bipartisan group of national politi­ cians, including President Reagan, corpo­ rate and civic leaders, and friends , offered tributes, accompanied by military bands, high school bands, bagpipers, a chamber quartet and the Glenn Miller and Roger Eckers orchestras. At the event, the Congressman an­ nounced the creation of The Frank Horton Endowed Scholarship Fund. He selected RIT to receive the scholarships established in his name and based on proceeds from the event. Individuals and corporations from Washington, D.C., and throughout the 29th Congressional District gave gifts ranging from $250 to $50,000 to honor Horton's quarter century of public service. "Creation of the RIT Horton Scholars program at RIT reflects my long-standing and deep interest in the economic develop­ ment of greater Rochester and RIT's role in providing business and industry with highly qualified graduates," Horton said. "Frank has a long history of support for RIT," said President M. Richard Rose. "He participated in the founding of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and is a member of NTID's National Advisory Group. He supported the Insti­ tute·~ new Center for M icroelec-tronic ancl Computer Engineering and has applauded RIT's professional career programs, which impact on this country's productivity." Tribute festivities at the convention center included a video message from President Reagan, who said "Frank, you are a man of great personal conviction, and you demonstrate integrity and leadership second to none.

  • Conflict Thesis” of Science and Religion: a Nexus of Philosophy of Science, Metaphysics, and Philosophy of Religion 208 R
    Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies JBTSVOLUME 2 | ISSUE 2 Christianity and the Philosophy of Science The “Conflict Thesis” of Science and Religion: a Nexus of Philosophy of Science, Metaphysics, and Philosophy of Religion 208 R. Clinton Ohlers [JBTS 2.2 (2017): 208-233] The “Conflict Thesis” of Science and Religion: a Nexus of Philosophy of Science, Metaphysics, and Philosophy of Religion R. CLINTON OHLERS R. Clinton Ohlers (PhD, University of Pennsylvania) is a Residential Fellow with the Creation Project at the Henry Center for Theological Understanding, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. This research was made possible by the Henry Resident Fellowship program, funded by the Templeton Religion Trust. Abstract: The idea of inevitable and perpetual conflict between science and religion is known among historians as the “conflict thesis.” It exploded in popularity in the late nineteenth century with the rise of the Victorian scientific naturalists to positions of leadership in prominent scientific institutions. A common misperception exists concerning the two authors most central to the widespread dissemination and lasting popularity of the conflict thesis: John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White. This misperception assumes that because Draper and White pitted science and religion at odds, they were not themselves theologically engaged. On the contrary, Draper and White held very specific theological views and championed them in their written works. Like others at the time, they shaped their theology to conform to their vision of science, a vision articulated by scientific naturalism, with its commitments to inviolable natural laws and nature as a closed system of physical causes. They viewed their theologies as the solutions that would bring peace in the conflict between science and religion.

  • Andrew Dickson White As I Knew Him
    132 THE OPEN LOUKT. ANDREW DICKSON WHITE AS I KNEW HIM. I!Y EDWARD T. IIEVX. SHORTLY before the tessation of hostilities in the world war, came the death of Andrew Dickson White. It was not granted him to see the end of the contest with its promise of universal peace, a cause which he so brilliantly and assiduously advocated. His lofty but w^ell tempered idealism and his profound scholarship commanded the greatest respect at home and abroad. A zealous guardian of his country's rights, he performed his difficult task as Minister, and subsequently as Ambassador, to the German Em- pire with admirable success, and with dignity worthy of emulation. It was in Berlin in 1901 that the writer, entering upon his work as Correspondent of the Chicago Record, was first privileged to make the acquaintance of Dr. ^^l^ite. A warm letter of introduction by Charles Kendall Adams, the President of my Alma Mater, the Uni- ersity of Wisconsin, undoubtedly contributed greatly to the special kindness and courtesy with which I was received, for Dr. Adams was an intimate friend of the American Ambassador, and at one time closely allied with him in liis historical studies. After Dr. White's resignation, Adams became his successor as President of Cornell University. The high regard in which Dr. White held President Adams can be seen from the following letter which he wrote me from Bad Plomburg, August 13, 1902, when I informed him of the death of the former President of the University of Wisconsin. "The news of President Adams's death is a grief to me.

  • Religion and Cornell University's Foundation
    GODS AND SCHOLARS: RELIGION AND CORNELL UNIVERSITY’S FOUNDATION MYTH A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Fredrika Louise Loew August 2016 © 2016 [Fredrika Louise Loew] ABSTRACT Cornell University’s foundation narrative focuses intensely on the nonsectarian clause in the institution’s charter, with the ‘godless’ nature of the university and its commitment to secularism forming the basis of the narrative. Though parts of the narrative are true, Cornell’s Protestant-heavy founding and early relationships with religion have been left out. This paper examines Cornell University’s primary archival material from 1865 to 1890 and secondary sources and reconstructs the religious foundation narrative of the university, which takes into account the strong Christian ethics upon which the university was in fact founded. In addition, the paper discusses the initial desire for a secular university, as well as investigates broader issues of identity reappropriation and analyzes the differences between the accepted narrative of Cornell’s foundation myth and the primary texts. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Fredrika Loew received her Bachelor’s degree in Archaeology and Near Eastern Studies from Cornell University in 2012. During her senior year, she began working as a Collections Assistant and Processor in Cornell’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, where she has been working ever since. In the fall of 2014, she entered the Employee Degree Program to pursue her Master’s degree from the Cornell Institute for Archaeology and Material Studies with a focus on museology and religious studies.

    William E. Leuchtenburg President American Historical Association 1991 William E. Leuchtenburg The infectious enthusiasm, gentle humanism, and judicious scholarship of William E. Leuchtenburg have inspired students of American history for more than forty years. As a scholar, the 1991 president of the American Historical Association is known to historians as one of the leading authorities in the world on the United States in the twentieth century. As a teacher, Leuchtenburg has attracted legions of students at New York University, Smith College, and Harvard University, where he taught in his early years; at Columbia University where he was the De Witt Clinton Professor of History and taught for thirty years; and, since 1982, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he is the William Rand Kenan, Jr., Professor of History Born in New York City to working-class German and Irish parents who grew up in poverty in the Hell’s Kitchen district of Manhattan, Leuchtenburg spent his adolescent years in a small apartment on Gleane Street in Queens. The saying in his family for a good while has been “it’s a long way from Gleane Street,” as Leuchtenburg has been honored with not one but two endowed chairs and with distinguished senior fellowships, among them from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities and at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the National Humanities Center, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. He was appointed to the Harmsworth Chair at Oxford University; has been invited to deliver prestigious lectures in this country and abroad, including at such venues as the U.S.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume XLVI DECEMBER,1950 Number 4 Religious Influences in the Development of State Colleges and Universities Earle D. ROSS* The search for origins of American institutions, Euro- pean and colonial, has provided endless, as well as generally inconclusive, historical controversies. The pastime has been especially dear to antiquarian partisans of racial, regional, and sectarian interests. Due to notorious liberties in nomen- clature, educational history has been especially open to such indulgences. Thus, to come to the subject in hand, the ques- tion as to whether our state colleges and universities had their beginnings in colonial colleges presents but another exercise in semantics. Church establishments gave their colleges offi- cial sanction and virtual monopoly of higher education under the standing order. Beyond this grant of powers the govern- ment was not obligated. In no case was there the recognition of a responsibility for support and of a duty to promote gen- eral services as against that of safeguarding the doctrines and prerogatives of the particular sect.l To be sure the period was one of genesis, and it may be said that the colonial colleges were the forerunners of our state universities and land-grant colleges in the sense that the dame schools prepared the way for the kindergarten, the Latin grammar school fathered the * Earle D. Ross is a member of the department of history at Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Ames, Iowa. This paper was read at the session on “Religion and Education” at the forty-third annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical Associ- ation at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 20, 1950.
