Excerpt: ...the Continental Congress, and at the same time to press for a supply of arms. Their letters were laid, July 3, before the Provincial Congress, which, impressed with the importance of the news, sent both Wheelock and Dean, with Captain Bedel, to confer at once with the Assembly of Massachusetts. By the advice of both Assemblies, the matter was commended to the Continental Congress, and Dean, agreeably to the design with which he left Hanover, proceeded to Philadelphia, introduced by letters from Wheelock and from President Weare. On the way he communicated with the authorities of Connecticut, and made renewed appeals for weapons and ammunition with which to arm the frontier, but was, as in the other Colonies, still unsuccessful. Wheelock took this opportunity to inform the Continental Congress, by a letter to Mr. Silas Deane, --"That this College and the neighboring towns are almost wholly unarmed and defenceless, and that notwithstanding much pains have been used, no door is yet opened for supply of that necessity; and we now hear that a large number of fire-arms have lately been brought in to Philadelphia, and don't hear of any to be had nearer. We want about an hundred to supply my family, --that is, the College, School, and those connected with it. I have upwards of thirty on charity, and so indigent that they are not able to purchase them; and this is the common calamity of all these frontier settlements." He at the same time added a "hint that Mr. Dean's late mission has been, and his present journey now, is wholly at my 1 N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., iii. 383; N. H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment in 1770 when Reverend Eleazar Wheelock located Dartmouth College in Hanover, the "College on the Hill" and the "Village at the College" have been inseparably linked as one. And from the time when the first log hut was constructed to the present, the built and natural environments have evolved as part of an organic evolutionary process. Due to changing architectural tastes, neglect and growth, many of the historic buildings that once flourished are no longer standing. Bygone landmarks like the beautiful entry porte-cochere at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and the handful of handsome buildings that marked the start of the University of New Hampshire are now lost to history. Join architect and historian Jay Barrett as he uncovers the stories behind the forgotten treasures of Hanover.

Download or read book Reawakening the Public Research University written by Renée Beville Flower and published by University of California eScholarship. This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A core institution in the human endeavor—the public research university—is in transition. As U.S. public universities adapt to a multi-decadal decline in public funding, they risk losing their essential character as a generator, evaluator, and archivist of ideas and as a wellspring of tomorrow’s intellectual, economic, and political leaders. This book explores the core interdependent and coevolving structures of the research university: its physical domain (buildings, libraries, classrooms), administration (governance and funding), and intellectual structures (curricula and degree programs). It searches the U.S. history of the public research university to identify its essential qualities, and generates recommendations that identify the crucial roles of university administration, state government and federal government.
Download or read book Slavery and the University written by Leslie M. Harris and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavery and the University is the first edited collection of scholarly essays devoted solely to the histories and legacies of this subject on North American campuses and in their Atlantic contexts. Gathering together contributions from scholars, activists, and administrators, the volume combines two broad bodies of work: (1) historically based interdisciplinary research on the presence of slavery at higher education institutions in terms of the development of proslavery and antislavery thought and the use of slave labor; and (2) analysis on the ways in which the legacies of slavery in institutions of higher education continued in the post–Civil War era to the present day. The collection features broadly themed essays on issues of religion, economy, and the regional slave trade of the Caribbean. It also includes case studies of slavery’s influence on specific institutions, such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Emory University, and the University of Alabama. Though the roots of Slavery and the University stem from a 2011 conference at Emory University, the collection extends outward to incorporate recent findings. As such, it offers a roadmap to one of the most exciting developments in the field of U.S. slavery studies and to ways of thinking about racial diversity in the history and current practices of higher education.
