A Troubled Transition: From President Morgan To President Waugh, Michael J. Birkner
A Troubled Transition: From President Morgan To President Waugh, Michael J. Birkner
History Faculty Publications
Dickinson College's twentieth-century journey has been marked primarily, though not entirely, by gains: increases in numbers of students and faculty, advances in the quality of the program offered, and a general broadening of opportunities for those enrolled in this program. Specific advances have been identified with particular presidential administrations, and have been gracefully limned by Charles Coleman Sellers's general history of the college.
For those interested in the academic policies of Dickinson College in this century, one administration stands out for the potential it embodied, but did not realize: the administration, in the early thirties, of Karl Tinsley Waugh. Waugh's …
Northern Business And The Shape Of Southern Progress: The Case Of Tennessee's "Model City", Edward L. Ayers
Northern Business And The Shape Of Southern Progress: The Case Of Tennessee's "Model City", Edward L. Ayers
History Faculty Publications
State governments, understandably eager to entice needed capital to their region, no longer entertained the earlier progressive ideal of an autonomous South. The perennially-tempting vision of rapid economic growth funded by plentiful Northern capital arose in new, distinctly modern, attire.
Samuel L. Southard And The Origins Of Gibbons V. Ogden, Michael J. Birkner
Samuel L. Southard And The Origins Of Gibbons V. Ogden, Michael J. Birkner
History Faculty Publications
On January 12, 1815, the former Federalist governor of New Jersey, Aaron Ogden, wrote a brief letter to a young political antagonist, Samuel L. Southard, requesting Southard's "professional aid in a hearing before the Legislature, which I expect will take place on Tuesday next." Observing that he had the relevant documents organized so that Southard could get quickly acquainted with the facts of the matter at issue, Ogden added that "the cause will be entertaining and interesting, and as to compensation, you will please to name your own sum."
A good deal of history lay behind these remarks, and the …

History Faculty Publications
The year was 1831, and the President of the Bank of the United States, Nicholas Biddle, was preparing for a difficult campaign to win the re-charter of his institution. Facing the hostility of Andrew Jackson, and the partisan newspapers that supported him, Biddle was determined to put his own views before the American public. [excerpt]

The Golden Silence: The Virginia Democratic Party And The Presidential Election Of 1948, James R. Sweeney
The Golden Silence: The Virginia Democratic Party And The Presidential Election Of 1948, James R. Sweeney
History Faculty Publications
Disturbed by President Harry S. Truman's stand on civil rights, the Democratic Party leadership in Virginia, headed by Senator Harry Flood Byrd, determined to fight Truman's election in 1948. The Byrd organization's strategy was to keep Truman from winning Virginia's electoral votes by releasing the state's electors from the obligation to vote for the national party nominee, but Byrd's opposition managed to mount a last minute pro-Truman movement which carried the state for the President.
Railroads And Urban Rivalries In Antebellum Eastern Virginia, Peter C. Stewart
Railroads And Urban Rivalries In Antebellum Eastern Virginia, Peter C. Stewart
History Faculty Publications
Railroad construction provided a focus for the acceleration of economic rivalry between Richmond, Petersburg, and Norfolk from the 1830's through the 1850's. Richmond's place as a political center provided legislative leverage and attracted able promoters and sufficient capital. Richmond outdistanced its rivals handily, with Petersburg gaining little more than Norfolk. The rivalry left an enduring legacy. Based on railroad archives, manuscripts, and newspapers; 60 notes.
Berlin Historians And German Politics, Charles E. Mcclelland
Berlin Historians And German Politics, Charles E. Mcclelland
History Faculty Publications
By the dawn of the twentieth century, German historians, like "the German academic community as a whole, had fallen into the role of a vaguely conservative and decidedly official establishment." The last third of the nineteenth century had seen the triumph of Prussia over the academic world as well as the political communities of the German lands, with the cultural policy and impulses of Berlin deeply influencing the direction of German historiography and political thought. This influence took the form of an accommodation of power and idealism rather than a purge of the universities, which were the undisputed home of …
History In The Service Of Politics: A Reassessment Of G. G. Gervinus, Charles E. Mcclelland
History In The Service Of Politics: A Reassessment Of G. G. Gervinus, Charles E. Mcclelland
History Faculty Publications
Gervinus's political and scholarly position in nineteenth-century Germany deserves re-examination. Gervinus was a more complicated figure than some of his recent East German champions allege and a much more interesting scholar than his dismissive contemporaries believed. He was a historian too radical to hold a teaching chair but too popular with his readership to be ignored, and a more and more vociferous Cassandra in an age of increasing accommodation to and optimism about Bismarckian power. Gervinus's life was a passion in the service of democratic liberalism; as a result, he suffered during his life, and his reputation has suffered ever …
