World Series, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

As the baseball season reaches its final few games in this rendition of the World Series, I find myself revisiting some tired but nagging issues including the dreaded Designated Hitter (DH) debate and the hypocritically laced PED controversy. This is not to detract from the excitement of watching two of the most enduring franchises in the game and two of the most successful teams of this new century.

Pioneer Journals Of Rhoda Ann Dykes Burgess: A Project In Documentary Editing, Amy Lindsey, Dr. Leslee Thorne-Murphy

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The published journals of Mormon pioneers have served as a great asset to our understanding of American history, but these have largely been the journals of prominent pioneer men. Surprisingly, most of the journals of common pioneer women have not been published, and so, are not accessible to genealogists or scholars interested in the history of the LDS Church and in America’s nineteenth-century women writers. Maureen Ursenbach Beecher, Professor Emeriti in English from BYU is compiling significant unpublished writings of Mormon pioneer women for publication in the “Life Writings of Frontier Women” series published through Utah State University Press.

Richard D. Dunphy: A Frank Request To Gideon Welles, Kevin P. Lavery

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History

By January 1866, the war had concluded and the country’s divisions had begun to heal. Richard Dunphy, meanwhile, devoted himself to claiming his pension and his medal. When the Medal of Honor he had earned during the Battle of Mobile Bay was lost amidst the naval bureaucracy, Dunphy took it upon himself to write a letter directly to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. He believed that Welles, who had been involved in the creation of the award, would be able to help obtain his well-deserved medal. This letter, owned by the Gilder Lehrman Institute, provides unique insight directly into …

St. Peter’S Basilica As Templum Dei: The Continuation Of The Ancient Near Eastern Temple Tradition In The Christian Cathedral, Rachel Ann Seely, Dr. William Hamblin

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Inscribed on the entrance to St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome is the inscription Templum Vaticani (Latin for Temple of the Vatican). Upon entering St. Peter’s one can see many reflections of Solomon’s Temple in the architecture and orientation of the building. Even more striking are the similarities between the political and religious roles of St. Peter’s Basilica and those of an ancient Near Eastern temple. John M. Lundquist has developed a typology of elements that permeate temple traditions throughout the ancient Near East.1 Basing my research on this typology I set out to study Christian holy space, specifically the early …

The Implication Of Title Ix Legislation On Women’S Athletics At Brigham Young University, Daniel C. Swinton, Barbara Lockhart, Dr. Richard Kimball

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 has helped educational institutions throughout the country draw closer to gender equity in all facets of education. Much of Title IX is accepted and praised, but a hotly debated area having to do with interpreting and implementing the law, is intercollegiate athletics. The court’s interpretations require proportionality and progress in complying with Title IX and many schools — in fact, the vast majority — continue to struggle to meet the law’s demands. Brigham Young University is among them and in the past ten years, the school’s athletic department has undergone a number …

Only Hindsight: Where Are The Historian Futurists?, John M. Rudy

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

A friend who is planning a pie-in-the-sky conference (about which I'm super excited) texted me today with a quick question. "Who would be a good 'Historian of the Future?'" he asked, adding the bonus that I could dream big. "Money no object," the next text read.

I was at a loss for a few minutes. Who is the historian of the future? Who is trying to visualize that skill-set, categorize that life, read the trends of the past and plot the course of history yet to come? [excerpt]
