Letter addressed by Benjamin Bates (bearer of the memorial) to a Member of the Legislature, ca. 1812.
No full textBenjamin Bates was a member of the Religious Society of Friends, and served as Clerk of the Society at the time that the Memorial and Petition was written.A 14-page manuscript with the caption title "The following Letter was addressed by Benjamin Bates (bearer of the memorial) to a Member of the Legislature". The letter is a personal appeal made to a specific member of the Virginia Legislature, asking that the Quakers be excluded from serving in the military or paying a penalty. The letter often accompanied a Memorial and Petition of the Religious Society of Friends (commonly called Quakers) submitted to the Virginia Legislature, asking that they be exempted from military service or from paying a penalty for refusal to serve in the military, on the grounds that it conflicted with their pacifist religious beliefs. This was during the outset of the War of 1812 in the United States, where the failure of a national military draft prompted several states to recruit independently. Both documents were published in the Georgetown newspaper the Federal Republican on May 31, 1813
Bates Letter, 1902
No full textF. L. Bates was an author on the Lincoln assassination and a lawyer. He believed Booth escaped the Garrett Farm barn. In the bulk of this letter Bates explains, at least to his satisfaction, that he has a tintype of a man he believes to be Booth, which can prove his belief about Booth's escape to others.As a young man in Granbury, Texas, Bates met local barkeep John St. Helen, who claimed to be John Wilkes Booth, long a fugitive following his murder of Abraham Lincoln. Bates believed St. Helen's story. Years later when another would-be Booth, David George, committed suicide in Oklahoma, Bates viewed the body and decided it was that of his old acquaintance St. Helen. Bates acquired the corpse and for years he and his heirs exhibited the mummified remains throughout the South. Bates promoted his contention in "Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth," published in 1907, which included a purported confession
Data for Critical Micelle Concentration of Multiblock Copolymers in Immiscible Homopolymer Blends
No full textThe manuscript contains a detailed description of the procedure, the variables, and the results. The PSCF software package was used to generate this simulation data, and an explanation of the input and output parameters can be found in its documentation (available at https://github.com/dmorse/pscfpp). The entire data set is contained in "data.zip", and the accompanying README file describes the organization of this data.This contains self-consistent field theory calculations for AB Multiblock Copolymers in a ternary mixture with dispersed A and B homopolymer phases. We compared the free energy of copolymers adsorbed to a homopolymer interface with that of copolymers aggregated into dilute lamellar micelles. All of the results shown in the manuscript main text are included in this data set.Watrin, Cyrus; Magruder, Benjamin; Nehete, Ashutosh; Bates, Frank; Dorfman, Kevin. (2026).

Founded by Abolitionists, Funded by Slavery: Past and Present Manifestations of Bates College’s Founding Paradox
No full textBates College marketing posits that the school was founded by abolitionists and has been open to all from our start, and that these historic facts make our campus particularly inclusive and committed to social justice. This framing of our college is limited at best and damaging at worst. As a leading progressive institution with a stated mission to educate a diverse student body, we face a moral imperative as well as a practical benefit to more accurately tell our complex origin story. Bates College was founded by Oren Cheney, an abolitionist. It was also funded in part by enslaved people’s labor through a large donation from cotton textile tycoon Benjamin Bates. This thesis outlines this paradox and provides historical context regarding capitalism, abolitionism, and higher education in antebellum America. In doing so, I argue that Bates College did not and has not escaped the ubiquity of American slavery. Cheney’s acceptance of the Bates donation exemplifies the compromises that often occur when individuals that benefit from a system attempt to work against it. That this inconsistency was common and likely unavoidable does not diminish the paradox’s impact; rather, Bates College needs to acknowledge and address this impact as it continues to benefit the institution. I describe the rising awareness on campus of this complicated history and reflect on my own journey to understand this material. It is my hope that this thesis provides historical information, contemporary analysis, and practical tools for those that carry this work forward
