Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War transformed American life. Not only did thousands of men die on battlefields and millions of slaves become free; cultural institutions reshaped themselves in the context of the war and its aftermath. The first book to examine the Civil War’s immediate and long-term impact on higher education, Reconstructing the Campus begins by tracing college communities’ responses to the secession crisis and the outbreak of war. Students made supplies for the armies or left campus to fight. Professors joined the war effort or struggled to keep colleges open. The Union and Confederacy even took over some campuses for military use. Then moving beyond 1865, the book explores the war’s long-term effects on colleges. Michael David Cohen argues that the Civil War and the political and social conditions the war created prompted major reforms, including the establishment of a new federal role in education. Reminded by the war of the importance of a well-trained military, Congress began providing resources to colleges that offered military courses and other practical curricula. Congress also, as part of a general expansion of the federal bureaucracy that accompanied the war, created the Department of Education to collect and publish data on education. For the first time, the U.S. government both influenced curricula and monitored institutions. The war posed special challenges to Southern colleges. Often bereft of students and sometimes physically damaged, they needed to rebuild. Some took the opportunity to redesign themselves into the first Southern universities. They also admitted new types of students, including the poor, women, and, sometimes, formerly enslaved blacks. Thus, while the Civil War did great harm, it also stimulated growth, helping, especially in the South, to create our modern system of higher education.

Download or read book The Making of a Family Saga written by Jin Feng and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The institutional history of Ginling College is arguably a family history. Ginling, a Christian, women's college in Nanjing founded by Western missionaries, saw itself as a family. The school's leaders built on the Confucian ideal to envision a feminized, Christian family—one that would spread Christianity and uplift the family that was the Chinese nation. Exploring the various incarnations of the trope of the "Ginling family," Jin Feng takes a microscopic view by emphasizing personal, subjective perspectives from the written and oral records of the Chinese and American women who created and sustained the school. Even when using more seemingly ordinary official documents, Feng seeks to shed light on the motives and dynamic interactions that created them and the impact they had on individual lives. Using this perspective, Feng questions the standard characterization of missionary higher education as simply Western cultural imperialism to show a process of influence and cultural exchange.

Book excerpt: The Mary Ellen Padin Papers consist of correspondence, scrapbooks, reminiscences, publications, and photographs. The material primarily relates to her experiences as a student at Mount Holyoke College from 1943-1947. Her letters provide detailed descriptions of her daily activities, academic work, her social life, college traditions, and current events. She was interested in physics, music, Spanish, and history, and discusses many of her professors, including Ruth Sedgwick (Spanish), Rogers D. Rusk (physics), John Kirkpatrick (music), and Frank E. Bailey, Jr. (history). She was an enthusiastic participant in college social activities and often mentions traditions including Mountain Day, Freshman Hazing, Convocation, Junior Show, and events where music was a component. Outings with friends to picnic near the Connecticut River and trips to Holyoke, Massachusetts to shop are described. Her letters also reflect the impact of World War II on Mount Holyoke. For example, she mentions furniture shortages, changes to meals, and the presence of the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) training on campus. Several of the letters are pasted in her scrapbooks. Four volumes of scrapbooks include photographs of friends participating in Mount Holyoke traditions, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, and programs from various events. Each item in the scrapbooks has extensive captions. Included in the scrapbooks are her "Notes and Observations on Freshman Hazing Day" (1946) and pictures from the event. In 2002, Padin began compiling her recollections of life at Mount Holyoke and also started collecting those of some of her classmates. These recollections provide detailed descriptions of meals, dorm life, music, student employment, physical education requirements, mail procedures, attire, and hobbies. They also present a picture of Mount Holyoke life during and immediately following World War II. Publications consist of annotated copies of Mount Holyoke hymnbook, the 1947 "Llamarada," and "A Memory Book: Mount Holyoke College 1837-1987" by Anne C. Edmonds. Photographs include several of Padin and of some of her classmates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black feminists remind us “that America’s destiny is inseparable from how it treats [black women] and the nation ignores this truth at its peril” (The New York Review of Books). Winner of the 2018 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Nonfiction “If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free.” —Combahee River Collective Statement The Combahee River Collective, a path-breaking group of radical black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women’s liberation movements of the 1960s and 70s. In this collection of essays and interviews edited by activist-scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, founding members of the organization and contemporary activists reflect on the legacy of its contributions to Black feminism and its impact on today’s struggles. “A striking collection that should be immediately added to the Black feminist canon.” —Bitch Media “An essential book for any feminist library.” —Library Journal “As white feminism has gained an increasing amount of coverage, there are still questions as to how black and brown women’s needs are being addressed. This book, through a collection of interviews with prominent black feminists, provides some answers.” —The Independent “For feminists of all kinds, astute scholars, or anyone with a passion for social justice, How We Get Free is an invaluable work.” —Ethnic and Racial Studies Journal
