Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifth Biographical Record of the Class of Fifty-Eight, Yale University: 1858 1908 The Secretary was officially floating idly upon a sea of contentment, believing that '58 was gorged and would call for no more class records, when he awoke and found it all a dream. In 1865, in the first class record, he included the non-graduates. He then concluded that the duties of a Secretary, especially because the numbers graduating were larger and increasing, could not be properly done if non-graduates were included. He therefore omitted them in the next three records. In July, 1908, he yielded to a second earnest appeal from the Secre tary of the University to secure for him the addresses of the living non graduates and secured them all. When the class in June, 1908, asked the Secretary to issue a record supplementary to that of 1897, he concluded to supplement also the non graduate part of the record of 1865. The result is before you. In brief, the whole non-graduate record is in the 1865 and the 1908 records, and the whole graduate record is in the 1897 and the 1908 records. Thus practically closes a class secretarial career of fifty years, which has probably been unequalled in duration.

Download or read book States at War Volume 4 written by Richard F. Miller and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War States and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This crucial reference book, the fourth in the States at War series, provides vital information on the organization, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey during the Civil War. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant-general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, federal and state executive speeches and proclamations, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use by professional historians and amateurs, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual stateÕs war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.

Download or read book Chasing Mosby Killing Booth written by James Carson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near the end of the Civil War, Army Chief of Staff Henry W. Halleck described the 16th New York Volunteer Cavalry as "cowed and useless" after they were "cut up" by Confederate Colonel John Mosby's Rangers. The following April the New Yorkers made their place in history when 26 men led by Lieutenant Edward P. Doherty captured and killed John Wilkes Booth. An amalgam of three partially formed regiments, the 16th was plagued by early desertions, poor leadership and a near mutiny as its First Battalion prepared to march to northern Virginia to bolster the outer defenses of Washington in October 1863. The regiment spent most of the remainder of the war chasing Mosby's cavalry. They won a few tactical victories but were mainly confounded by the Confederate guerrillas. Drawing on personal letters, diaries and memoirs by men of the 16th, and the recollections of Mosby's men, this deeply researched history provides fresh perspective on Mosby's exploits and the hunt for Booth.

Download or read book The Yale China Association written by Nancy E. Chapman and published by Chinese University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yale-China Association's long legacy of work in China places it among the premier American organizations engaged in international service. Founded in 1901, Yale-China built on a long tradition of Yale's graduates founding churches, schools, and colleges in far-flung places. In time, the organization evolved into a bicultural educational enterprise, reflecting a spirit of intellectual tolerance and openness that adapted itself to China's changing conditions and needs. From its earliest years at the close of the Qing dynasty through wars, revolutions, and the modern era of reform, Yale-China's history was interwoven with China's own turbulent journey to find its place in the modern world. At certain points in its history, Yale-China was ahead of its time; at others, the organization was overwhelmed by social and political forces beyond its control or comprehension. Yale-China's history thus provides intriguing insights into the vagaries and complexities of America's interaction with China in the twentieth century, as well as the profound ambivalence with which many Chinese viewed the United States--its representatives, educational models, and intentions toward China--in this period.
Download or read book Base Ball Pioneers 1850 1870 written by Peter Morris and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1871, the popularity of baseball had spread so thoroughly across America that one writer observed, "It is as much our national game as cricket is that of the English." While major league teams and athletes that played after this prophetic statement was made have been exhaustively documented and analyzed, those that led the game during its pioneer phase from 1850 to 1870 have received relatively little attention. In this welcome work, leading historians of early baseball provide profiles of more than fifty clubs and their players, from legendary teams such as the Red Stockings of Cincinnati and the Nationals of Washington to forgotten nines like the Pecatonica (Illinois) Base Ball Club and the Morning Star Club of St. Louis. Engaging narratives bring these long-ago clubs back to life, stimulating more research on this fascinating era and creating a standard reference source for all who study America's national pastime.
Download or read book The Early Writings of Bronislaw Malinowski written by Bronislaw Malinowski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-07-29 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronislaw Malinowski, born and educated in Poland, helped to establish British social anthropology. His classic monographs on the Trobriand Islanders were published between 1922 and 1935, when he was professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. This 1993 collection of Malinowski's early writings, establishes the intellectual background to this achievement. Written between 1904 and 1914, before he went to Melanesia, all but two of the essays are published here in English for the first time. They show how Malinowski's considerable impact on twentieth-century thought is rooted in the late nineteenth-century philosophy of central Europe, especially the work of philosopher and physicist Ernst Mach, Friedrich Nietzsche, and in the ethnological theories of James Frazer.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Biographical Record of the Class of Fifty-Eight: Yale University; 1858-1897 MY classmates: - This Record was ready to present to you in August, but, thinking that a delay of a few months, just at the period when mail communication was being restored throughout the South, would add materially to the interest of the book, its publication has been delayed. Its preparation has developed much warm and kind feeling. My forebodings have been as uniformly disproved as the war prophecies of the London Timer. Where I thought to find indifference to class affairs, I have found deep interest, and where, after addressing a classmate two or three times for additional items, I have at length felt it necessary to enclose a stamp, and have expected to get a letter beginning Dear Sir, I have always received a cordial My dear Bacon, - and once received a stamp besides! It has been work but a work of love: and if the perusal of the book shall afford you a tithe of the pleasure that its compilation has afforded me, I shall feel amply repaid. It has perplexed me to decide what character to give the work in hand, and whether any particular character mu/(l be impressed upon the whole work. Mem bers of or candidates for the Happy Family have answered the circular in the comic vein exclusively, while others have taken the serious line; and while some have taken it for granted that I knew certain items, many, after sending me one date of birth, for instance, have sent me another, perhaps thinking that all those numbers might have been taken. Could I have inserted the letters in the first person, the record would have been more piquant; but many seem to contain much written in confi dence, - one covers six foolscap pages, and some answer the description of the Van kee, who was so short that he made a hole in the ground.
