Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the University of Virginia T does seem remarkable that out of the long decades of song and romance which have clustered themselves about this old University, there has never before come a collection of her songs. There is no other institution in this broad land where song and student life have been more closely interwoven. There is hardly an evening, whatever be the season, that the casual stroller does not hear the song of the reveler oating out across the Lawn, straying down from Carr's Hill, or at best those brave attempts at close harmony, struggling thitherward from The Corners. The Virginia Glee Club has made an enviable reputation, gathering its material from these wayward sources, but with the exception of the Glee Club there has been no organ wherein these songs of our Alma Mater might assume permanent form, both for their preservation and wider circulation. Every Alumnus should have a copy of his University Song Book in his home; it will renew the old spirit; it will refresh the old memories; it will make you a firmer and truer son of the old Alma Mater.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How We Are Governed in Virginia and the Nation In the manner of approaching the subject the author-has been moved by the further conviction that the elementary teaching of civil government will always be a bugbear and a failure unless its chief purpose is to relate the child in an intimate and personal way to the activities of govern ment. To' the pupil of less than high school age the powers and the functions of the State auditor or the organization of, and procedure in, the civil courts of the State are very dry subjects indeed, and very naturally so. But if he lives in a city, he probably takes a lively interest in the fire department, in the police, in the many things the city undertakes to do for the health of the community - things, such as a sewerage system, which he knows about but has perhaps never thought to ascribe to the government. Or if he lives in the country, he is doubtless vitally interested in what his county is doing tor-improve roads or to con solidate schools. It has been the conscious purpose Of the author in the first six chapters Of this book to make the child above all else, see the government as a real, active thing about him, a thing Of which he is a part. It is only after the pupil's interest has been thoroughly aroused to note the many operations Of the government that the effort is made-to Show him how the government Of his State is supported, organized, and Operated. This is done in as simple language as possible. The child mind is kept constantly in v1ew, and emphasis is laid upon the actual Operation Of the machinery of government rather than upon elaborate details of its organization. Obviously it is more difficult to infuse this same personal element into the child's study of the national government.

Download or read book Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? Revised Edition written by John Fea and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Fea offers a thoroughly researched, evenhanded primer on whether America was founded to be a Christian nation, as many evangelicals assert, or a secular state, as others contend. He approaches the title's question from a historical perspective, helping readers see past the emotional rhetoric of today to the recorded facts of our past. This updated edition reports on the many issues that have arisen in recent years concerning religion's place in American societyincluding the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage, contraception and the Affordable Care Act, and state-level restrictions on abortionand demonstrates how they lead us to the question of whether the United States was or is a Christian nation. Fea relates the history of these and other developments, pointing to the underlying questions of national religious identity inherent in each. "We live in a sound-bite culture that makes it difficult to have any sustained dialogue on these historical issues," Fea writes in his preface. "It is easy for those who argue that America is a Christian nation (and those who do not) to appear on radio or television programs, quote from one of the founders or one of the nation's founding documents, and sway people to their positions. These kinds of arguments, which can often be contentious, do nothing to help us unravel a very complicated historical puzzle about the relationship between Christianity and America's founding."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the University of Virginia, 1819-1919, Vol. 2: The Lengthened Shadow of One Man His journey southward over the rude, neglected roads of the country districts caused him many painful and jarring sensations. They were, at this season, at the zenith of their imperfection; and the jolts which he had to endure were recalled by him after an interval of fifty years. He described the inns as mean in their accommo dations, and the company as congenial in quality with such crude surroundings. The dirt, drinking, and tobacco spitting that degraded so many of these roadside taverns, during that period, naturally enough were revolting to the tastes of a refined and sensitive foreigner like the scholarly Long.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jefferson, Cabell and the University of Virginia Until the dawn of the eighteenth century education in Virginia was a special privilege. It was for clergymen and gentlemen, - distinct, as elements, - while the sons of the common people, a term then in frequent use, were well enough employed in making tobacco. The planter who had Madeira in his cellar almost certainly had a tutor in his library for the intellectual behoof of his children; or he sent his sons to Princeton or to the universities of the mother country. The offspring of less fortunate folk grew up in an atmosphere in which Madeira, the clergy, and the pedagogue were little known. The Revolution sent the thrill of a new life through the country. The value of the yeomanry in that war was evident, and gratefully appreciated. Its share in the tremendous development of this new world - for it was still new, and its possibilities not more than suspected - was seen to be of the first importance, and it was equally obvious that men whose fathers had worn buckskin or jeans would exercise in the government an influence in some measure proportioned to their numbers. The day of royal governors and councils, shirted in Mechlin lace and frills, with powder on hair, was past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from University of Virginia, Vol. 1: Its History, Influence, Equipment and Characteristics, With Biographical Sketches and Portraits of Founders, Benefactors, Officers and Alumni Account must be taken of all the vast elements and interests which enter into the prob l'ems of modern politics on the largest scale, national and international, and which demand the exercise of the highest powers and broadest sympathies. The dealing with such interests and handling of such instruments is a great trust, the exercise of which will require a strict account before the tribunal of history. All these considerations were in the mind of the Father of the University of Virginia. The plans which he formulated and the spirit which he inculcated at the beginning were such as to require no other changes in the clays which followed after the close of his work, save those growing out of increased knowledge in special departments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Students of the University of Virginia: A Semi-Centennial Catalogue, With Brief Biographical Sketches The reader is respectfully requested to remember, that the volume before him contains ten thousand names and over a hundred thousand statements of facts. Errors must needs occur in a compilation of this nature. The com pilers are willing to take their. Share of the responsibility, but not more than their share. A few mistakes may be credited to the printer, who has always to bear his burden. But the majority of errors will be found upon investigation not real errors, but misapprehensions, that can be retraced to 'the persons who furnished the information here presented. Many wrote of kinsmen and friends, unconscious of the bias that changed a Colonel into a General or an Assistant Surgeon into a Surgeon. Others relied too much on frail memory, and especially in questions relating to the early years of the University, mistook dates and forgot first names, or confounded brothers and namesakes with each other. Even where former students gave an account of themselves, memory did not always serve faithfully. And many a letter contained the strange statement, I was at the University, I believe, in 1835 or Nor must the fact be overlooked that not a few letters have ap peared, written by men who claim to have won honors at the University and to be most warmly attached to the Institu tion and their old teachers - but who, upon inquiry, are found never to have been entered on the University Record. Even the names of students offered an occasion for apparent errors. Some have changed their family name in after-life, others dropped or adopted Christian names - an eminent Western statesman, anxious to be correctly recorded, wrote that he had thus changed his first name three times in his life. The matriculation-book constantly shows certain names to assume new shapes in subsequent years; e.g., the Field of one year becomes a Feild in the second, the Thomson 1 Thompson, and the Sampson a Samson. Where there are such countless sources of possible error, great indulgence will, it is hoped, he practised and much allowance be made for apparent mistakes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jefferson's University: Glimpses of the Past and Present of the University of Virginia A great master of phrases once described a university as a place which attracts the affections of the young by its fame, wins the judgment of the middle - aged by its beauty, and rivets the memory of the old by its associa tions. The purpose of the authors of Jefferson's Uni versity has been to set forth this ancient foundation in such fashion as to accomplish this threefold purpose. It is an inspiring story, and I hope the recital will bring pleasure and high memories to those who know the 'place, and incentive to those who are reaching up to its wide spaces.
