Martin Bucer And The Church Fathers In The Cologne Reformation, Amy Nelson Burnett
Martin Bucer And The Church Fathers In The Cologne Reformation, Amy Nelson Burnett
Department of History: Faculty Publications
Martin Bucer’s theology is perhaps the most difficult of all the major reformers to characterize because of its evolving nature. Although there are certainly fundamental features that remained constant through his career, what makes Bucer so unusual and so fascinating is the evolution of his thought as he worked out the implications of those fundamental beliefs and their specific applications over his years of experience as pastor, teacher and church organizer.
A Plea For Caution: A Response To Frederick Burkhardt, Phillip R. Sloan
A Plea For Caution: A Response To Frederick Burkhardt, Phillip R. Sloan
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Professor Burkhardt's detailed and exhaustive analysis of this curious letter has provided a classic case of the kind of problems one might face in textual editing. My own interest in this letter was first generated during my editing of the Hunterian lectures of Darwin's contemporary, Richard Owen. It also relates to my long-term interest in the importance of Darwin's work on invertebrate organisms and its relevance to the origins of his evolutionary theory. This work commenced during his early years in Edinburgh and persisted through the Beagle years and even beyond into his eight years of study of the barnacles. …
November Meeting Of The Nhprc
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
At its meeting on November 13 and 14, held at the United States Supreme Court, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission passed a resolution adopting criteria for evaluating second-tier documentary editing projects.
A Glimpse Into Childhood: Review Of Susan Paul, The Memoir Of James Jackson, The Attentive And Obedient Scholar, Who Died In Boston, October 31, 1833, Aged Six Years And Eleven Months, Ed. Lois Brown., Constance B. Schulz
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Sources by or about the lives of young children are not widely or easily available; sources offering a glimpse into the life a young African American child are particularly scarce. For that reason alone, Lois Brown's rediscovery of this long-neglected Memoir and Harvard University Press's decision to publish it in a serious scholarly edition (in paper as well as cloth) is an important contribution to the literature. Brown describes the Memoir, originally published in Boston in 1835 by the white antislavery activist bookseller and printer James Loring, as a combination of "two distinctive nineteenth- century literary forms, the didactic spiritual …
A Letter To John W. Carlin
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
At the end of October, the ADE Council learned that the agenda for the November 13 meeting of Commissioners of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission would include a plan for ranking ongoing NHPRC-funded editorial projects with an eye for possible curtailment of funds. Such a plan would have gone into effect only in case of financial emergency, and it would have applied only to the "second tier" of projects whose grant applications are considered in the spring, not the "first tier" Founding Fathers editions. Even so, the Council felt it wise to put the Association for Documentary Editing …

A Troublesome Letter Signed "Yrs Ch. Darwin", Frederick H. Burkhardt
A Troublesome Letter Signed "Yrs Ch. Darwin", Frederick H. Burkhardt
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
In 1985 when the editors of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin were assembling letters for volume 2 (1837-1843), the letter to be described below came to their attention. The editors decided to omit it from the edition because, despite the "Ch. Darwin" signature, it was not considered an authentic Darwin letter. Some scholars have questioned this decision, among them Professor Phillip R. Sloan, who thinks that it may be a Darwin letter, or that at least it should be included as a letter of uncertain authorship. Accordingly, the editors have decided to review the decision and to consider whether any …
"A Superior Opportunity Of Being A Good Man": Review Of The Law Practice Of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition. Edited By Martha L. Benner And Cullom Davis., Gerald J. Prokopowicz
"A Superior Opportunity Of Being A Good Man": Review Of The Law Practice Of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition. Edited By Martha L. Benner And Cullom Davis., Gerald J. Prokopowicz
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Great president. Lousy lawyer." In four words, a movie character played by the late actor Walter Matthau thus summed up the career of Abraham Lincoln. For most of the 136 years since Lincoln's death, general readers and scholars alike have accepted this verdict. Occasional Southern partisans have tried to belittle Lincoln's greatness as a president, but no substantial challenges to his overall reputation appeared between Edgar Lee Master's vitriolic Lincoln: The Man in 1931 and Lerone Bennett's Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream in 2000. During that span, hundreds of other authors portrayed Lincoln in every possible light: dynamic …

Autopsy, Susan C. Lawrence
Autopsy, Susan C. Lawrence
Department of History: Faculty Publications
An autopsy is a standardized biomedical procedure during which trained medical pathologists examine the exterior of the body, dissect the corpse, view the vital organs for any obvious abnormality and weigh them, and collect specimens of tissues and fluids for further analysis. The procedure takes 2-4 hours and ends with the body being prepared either for storage until it can be released, or to go to the undertaker for embalming and burial or cremation. After additional laboratory work on the tissues and fluid specimens to detect the presence of drugs and/or coexisting medical conditions, the pathologist forms an opinion on …
Creating A Diversity Movement In The University, Rupert W. Nacoste Ph.D.
Creating A Diversity Movement In The University, Rupert W. Nacoste Ph.D.
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
What kind of actions can a university take to create a diversity movement within its confines? Taking recent work at North Carolina State University as the prototype, this session will be used to outline and discuss the characteristics of administrative action that can lead to a comprehensive and programmatic diversity movement within any college or university.

Winning On For The Gipper: Diversity Strategies And Initiative At Notre Dame, Hugh R. Page Jr., Ph. D., Richard Pierce Ph. D., Gina Shropshire Ph. D., Lynn Todman Ph. D.
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
One of the enduring images linked to the University of Notre Dame is that of injured football player George Gipp imploring Coach Knute Rockne to "Win One for the Gipper. " Similarly, people of color and conscience at Notre Dame struggle with formidable challenges in implementing diversity into areas of faculty retention, university initiatives and community outreach, all while remaining sane. The panelists will discuss innovative successes and continuing efforts that can be adapted by others seeking a game plan for diversity.
Workplace Mediation For Diversity Conflicts, Maxine Ballard
Workplace Mediation For Diversity Conflicts, Maxine Ballard
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
Diversity conflicts usually occur in organizations where communication is inadequate and generally require a third party to facilitate resolution. Developing and preserving healthy workplace relationships must be a top priority for all employees. Using mediation to resolve diversity conflicts in the workplace allow preservation of jobs and full and equal participation and contributions by all employees (including minority employee groups). This workshop is designed to provide people of color in predominantly white institutions an alternate dispute resolution method to resolve relational conflicts such as race, gender, age and culture differences.

The Unique Challenges And Experiences Of African¬-American Women Academicians At Predominantly White Institutions, Gary K. Perry
The Unique Challenges And Experiences Of African¬-American Women Academicians At Predominantly White Institutions, Gary K. Perry
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
This session addresses the unique challenges of African-American women academicians at predominantly white institutions. After assessing scholarly literature in this area, most research has and continues, to ignore the interrelationship between race, class and gender. This paper builds on existing literature by offering a discourse that addresses various challenges facing these women.
Check All That Apply: The Census And The Multiracial Population, Nina Grant, Cecilia Olivares
Check All That Apply: The Census And The Multiracial Population, Nina Grant, Cecilia Olivares
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
In this presentation, we introduce the idea that different definitions of being multiracial and attitudes toward acknowledging mixed-raced origins might have affected the 2000 census enumeration of the multiracial population. How multiracial people self-identify and how society identifies multiracial people has become an escalating debate among many people. Because more Americans than ever are claiming their multiracial heritages, how they deal with the "other" category, or other restrictions to answering race and ethnicity questions ("Please check only one") is one of the most compelling issues in society today.

Personal experiences will be used for illustration purposes and will serve as a catalyst for discussion. The goal of this session is to enhance program participants' understanding of and ability to promote Latina/o socialization, leadership development and educational advancement at predominantly white institutions at all levels.

Turning Tables: Recovering The African American Resistance Tradition At Predominantly White Institutions Of Learning, Jean Daniels Ph.D.
Turning Tables: Recovering The African American Resistance Tradition At Predominantly White Institutions Of Learning, Jean Daniels Ph.D.
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
How does race and gender connect to the issue of "authority" in the university classroom? In this session, there will be an exploration of how the subject" authority" in the classroom is linked to white students and their knowledge history. For most white students, the sight of an African American female at the head of a university classroom is an unfamiliar sight. Yet, for the black female professor, the classroom is becoming the "home" of African American resistance to oppression and injustice.
Learning Across Cultures: How Minority Students Construct Identities That Foster Academic Success, Maryjo Benton Lee
Learning Across Cultures: How Minority Students Construct Identities That Foster Academic Success, Maryjo Benton Lee
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
In China, successful minority students are those who construct “achievement-oriented selves." Through interaction with significant others, these students develop perspectives of themselves as "successes." This, in turn, makes academic achievement possible. The "identity work" of Chinese ethnic students can serve as a model for those involved with minority education in the U.S.

Why Can't We Wait (To Spend) And The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Potential Negative Impact On Minority Employees From Well-Intentioned Organizational Compensation Practices, James R. Jones
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
The presenter outlines a theoretical argument suggesting that organizational attempts to increase short- and long-term motivation and loyalty may unwittingly exacerbate career and financial growth problems for some "minority" workers. Research on ethnic cultural tendencies and individual differences in spending propensities is used to support the notion that the use of incentive-based compensation systems and retirement programs could lead to employees being both undermined in terms of financial health and "slotted" into divergent career paths.
Academentia: Physiological Stress, Toxic Work Sites And The Neutralization Of Blackness By The Whiteness Standards Of Professionalization, Enoch H. Page Ph.D.
Academentia: Physiological Stress, Toxic Work Sites And The Neutralization Of Blackness By The Whiteness Standards Of Professionalization, Enoch H. Page Ph.D.
Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
Using auto-ethnographic methods, supplementing by current race theories, along with interviews from other scholars, I regard academentia as a form of professionalism most readily communicable to academics of color seeking advance. It can also infect those whose embrace of blackness (widely defined across cultures) is the least tolerant of the racial designs of white cultural practices. Where in the interest of students and colleagues, such academics challenge the whiteness criteria defining academic success, most of their peers adhere to the racial standards of professionalism.
