By Avery<\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n

For my final paper, I will be looking at the founding of Davidson College through an examination of the Concord Presbytery’s meeting minutes<\/a> from 1835 to 1843. I propose applying a similar approach to Kieran Healy’s analysis of Revolutionary America<\/a>. Healy uses committee affiliations to map a network of the Revolution’s central figures. Similarly, I will use social network analysis tools to map a network of people related to the college founding via their committee affiliations, as cited in the Presbytery minutes. Here are some of the questions I’ll be trying to answer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Who were the central figures in Davidson’s founding?<\/li>\n
  2. How was the founding of the College structured? As in, what type of committees were organized and what does that say about how the Presbytery envisioned post-secondary education and Davidson College?<\/li>\n
  3. How did the fact that Davidson grew out of a Presbyterian group affect the College’s founding and mission?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For the second question, I will delving into some of the central figures lives and relating their ideals and experiences to the College’s original mission. I would also like to relate Davidson’s founding story to the historical trends of the Presbyterian Church’s involvement in post-secondary education in antebellum America.<\/p>\n

    I think this project will also provide insights into the structure of decision-making and communication within the Presbytery. Who are the decision-makers? How do they make decisions? This piece will also require some background research into typical Presbytery structures in the South at the time.<\/p>\n
