Williston Seminary Easthampton Mass Alumni Records From 1842 To 1874

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Excerpt from Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass; Alumni Records: From 1842 to 1874 The history of this effort can be briefly told. At the Quarter-Centennial Celebration in 1867, the Alumni Association was formed. In the public address delivered before the Association in 1870, Rev. H. Clay Trumbull advocated the collection of an alumni record. At the business meeting of the alumni in 1871 the project was again revived and a Committee consisting of Rev. II. Clay Trumbull and Prof. Judson Smith was appointed to present the matter to the Board of Trustees. The Trustees not only approved the undertaking but also assumed the expense of it, and Rev. S. T. Seelye, D. D., and Hon. E. H. Sawyer were chosen their Committee to co-operate with the Committee of the Alumni. Nobody being found during the succeeding year to assume the work, it was urged upon one who was not himself an alumnus, but who had the other advantage of being resident in Easthampton. The apology for this late appearance of a work begun in 1872 must be the difficulties of the task. There was not even a complete collection of annual catalogues with which to begin the record. And after the list of catalogues had been with some difficulty and delay filled they furnished no reliable knowledge regarding who were and were not alumni. For forming the alumni list, reliance has been placed upon the memory of men known to be members of the various classes. The rule adopted has been that all who have here completed a preparation for college, or scientific or professional school, and all who have finished a.course of study in any department, should be called alumni.

Exploring Travel and Tourism: Essays on Journeys and Destinations offers a broad treatment of topics in global travel/tourism studies through articles first presented at Travel and Tourism panels at Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association conferences between 2007 and 2010. Through archival research, close readings and case studies, the authors assembled here examine the significance of travel and the tourist experience over the last two hundred years, from Borneo to Cuba to Niagara Falls, and places in between. The contributions seek to unpack the meanings of nationality, postcolonialism, place, gender, class and the Self/Other dyad as they bump up against the framework of travel studies. Taken together, the articles speak to central issues in current scholarly debates about travel, tourism and culture from various historical, geographical and disciplinary perspectives. The contributions are grouped thematically into three sections. Part I, “The Personal Travel Narrative: Constructing the Self Through Encounters with the Other,” offers close readings of travelogues, both published and unpublished. Part II, “Constructing a National Identity Through Tourism,” details the ways that nations and states market themselves to tourists. Part III, “The Meaning of Journey; The Meaning of Destination,” investigates places, both real and created, and the ways people travel to get to them.
