    Twelve African American Members of the Society for Classical Studies: The First Five Decades (1875-1925) by Michele Valerie Ronnick Copyright © 2018 by the Society for Classical Studies All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopy, recording, or any information storage and retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher. Published October 2018 For Ward W. Briggs, Jr., Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Meyer Reinhold and Cornel West, my friends and teachers. Introduction Many of us remain unaware that among the members of the American Philological Association (Society for Classical Studies since 2014) during the latter half of the nine- teenth century were people of African and African American descent, for little or noth- ing had been written about them before the American Philological Association published my pamphlet, The First Three African American Members of the American Philological Association in 2001. We have, however, understood for some time that Americans from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth century were engaged in heated argu- ments about the appropriate type of education needed by Americans in general, and particularly over the needs of the newly-freed slaves after the Civil War. What we had not yet realized was that these were also concerns among members of the black diasporic community itself, which understood that the study of ancient Greek and Latin had long been the intellectual standard

  • Cornelia: on Making One's Name As Mater Gracchorum
    “Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum” 1 “Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum” June 2012 Version Matthew B. Roller Johns Hopkins University © Matthew B. Roller, [email protected] Not for citation without author’s permission “Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum” 2 Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum I. Introduction In his Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, Plutarch discusses the motivations that may have spurred Tiberius Gracchus to propose his agrarian law immediately upon entering office as Tribune of the Plebs in 133 BCE. Tiberius may have been incited by Diophanes the rhetorician and Blossius the philosopher, who were his friends and teachers (§8.6); or by rivalry with another ambitious aristocrat called Spurius Postumius (§8.8); or by his own observation of the condition of the Tuscan countryside (§8.9); or by the direct urging of the people themselves (§8.10). Plutarch also reports (§8.7) that some writers say that his mother Cornelia spurred him on, by constantly reproaching her sons that the Romans still addressed her as the mother-in-law of Scipio (Aemilianus), and not yet as the mother of the Gracchi.1 In a perceptive discussion of this passage, Burckhardt and Von Ungern- Sternberg observe that it is premature for Tiberius’s mother to demand great things of her elder son. Any contemporary aristocrat would have lodged hopes for making a great name not in the lowly tribunate, but in the higher magistracies, above all the consulship with its accompanying military commands.2 Tiberius, about 30 years old in 133, was at 1 Plut.

The drawings, and the signature of James Thurber on the title page, are reproduced here with the kind permission of Mrs. James Thurber. PREFACE James Thurber, one of the genuinely popular and widely admired writers of this age, would hardly need introduction if it were not for the fact that "humorists" in our time—or at least the unpretentious humorists—are not accustomed to being taken very seriously. It might therefore seem pretentiously out of character with the subject—even though the argument is self-evident—to argue that Thurber's work may be taken seriously, just as he took it himself: seriously, if not solemnly. But that is my intention in this work. He deserves no less, and a bibliography may hopefully be a nudge toward further serious investigation of Thurber as a writer, historian, satirist, commentator, and critic of his times.

  • Cleveland Architects Database
    Clevland Landmarks Commission Cleveland Architects Database The following is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, from the 1820’s until the 1930’s. Discovering which architects designed certain buildings was determined by utilizing several sources, including the City of Cleveland Building Permits, and publications that included American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. The Cleveland Public Library card index for Architect’s in the Fine Arts Department was used. Books on Cleveland Architecture that were consulted included Cleveland Architecture 1876 – 1976, and the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture were consulted. A catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society was consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were consulted in compiling this database. For the purposes of this database an architect was defined as anyone that called himself or herself as an architect. Robert Keiser compiled the Cleveland Architects as a hobby in after work hours over several years. This project terminates with 1930. Local building activity was severely curtailed by the Great Depression, and did not recover until the 1950’s. Many of the references in the database have

Observing them, . my mind reverted to the beautiful and touching scene recorded in the book of 3 Nephi when the resurrected Lord took little children in His arms and wept as He blessed them and said to the people, “Behold your little ones” (3 Nephi 17:23).
