Education During the American Occupation of Haiti, 1915-1934
Get PDFThis paper seeks to contribute to this line of research by examining America's first occupation of Haiti from 1915-1934. As with the occupations of Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, the U.S. installed a military government in Haiti. American military officials had virtually complete control over the operations of a parallel, client Haitian government. Unlike other occupations, however, this story begins, ends, and is shot-through with educational concerns. It begins with lessons about Haiti taken by the Woodrow Wilson administration shortly before the U.S. invasion in 1915. The consultants they turned to for advice--particularly captains of the American financial industry with large investments in Haiti--significantly colored the way they approached the country's problems and potential. The story ends with Haitian protests over U.S. imposed educational reforms, protests that spread, intensified, and led to the end of the American occupation in 1934

Get PDFThis paper examines the establishment of two pioneering technical schools in Ontario - the Toronto Technical School in the 1890s, and Windsor-Walkervile Technical School in the 1920's - in a comparative perspective. Though separated by geography and chronological era, there are significant similarities in their development, from idealistic schemes in the minds of a few visionaries to bricks-and-mortar reality as thriving stand-alone technical high schools. The analysis, while based on primary documents from the historical period, utilizes both the classical interpretation of Robert Stamp and the work of subsequent revisionists. An examination of evolving educational policy and changes in regional economic geography helps to situate this comparative institutional study in a broader interpretive perspective. The conclusion, that each school in its time was innovative, popular and respected, will provide valuable historical context for current debates about the appropriate role, if any, of technical schools in public education
Winthrop College in the Sixties: Campus Protests, Southern Style
Get PDFThis study will examine campus protests at Winthrop College during the 1960s in relation to three main developments. First, the paper will explore the topic of integration. Emphasis will be placed on student responses to the admission of Winthrop's first African American students. Second, the paper will examine how parietals came to an end. Attention will be given to the regulations that governed student life and the process that removed them from campus policy. And finally, the paper will describe events and crises, some of which were manufactured by the campus itself, leading to the decision to make Winthrop a coeducational institution. While the final decision came in the early seventies, students and administrators had taken unusual steps to press the issue since the very beginning of the sixtie
