Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n        materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n        1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n        are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n        Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n        the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n        estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n        business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n        correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n        assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n        Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n        advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n        President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n        purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n        Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n        (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n        Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n        Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n        number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n        were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n        (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n        offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n        Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n        autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n        post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n        constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n        asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n        Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n        by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n        written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n        former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n        request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n        requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the  Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n        and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n        are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n        his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n        interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n        Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n        Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n        involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n        For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n        David M.

A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n        former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n        request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n        requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the  Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n        and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n        are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n        his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n        interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n        Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n        Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n        involvement in Georgia politics."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n        For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n        David M.

Root\n        viewed the society as a protest against \"a condition which associated the name medical\n        student with rowdyism, boorishness, immorality, and low educational ideals.\" Of the\n        approximately 25,000 medical students in the United States at the turn of the century, no\n        more than 15 percent were college graduates. The only requirement in most schools was a high\n        school diploma or its equivalent; the latter often meaning the ability to pay the fee. The\n        schools themselves-there were about 150-were by and large of dubious quality. With a few\n        exceptions, notably the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, founded in 1893, the medical\n        school curriculum consisted of a series of lectures, sometimes supplemented by\n        demonstrations at the bedside or in the laboratory, if such existed."," Root and his fellow medical students met to form a society that would foster honesty and\n        formulate higher ideals of scholastic achievement. Chartered in 1903 by the state of\n        Illinois, Alpha Omega Alpha's growth has paralleled the development of American medical\n        education. Within a decade after the society was founded, chapters were established at\n        seventeen medical schools. At present there are 124 active chapters in the United States and\n        Canada. Today, when students and established physicians alike reject easy platitudes, the\n        tenets of the society are more relevant than ever. As framed by Root, they are a modern\n        interpretation of the Hippocratic oath: \"It is the duty of members to foster the scientific\n        and philosophical features of the medical profession, to look beyond self to the welfare of\n        the profession and of the public, to cultivate social mindedness, as well as individualistic\n        attitude toward responsibilities, to show respect for colleagues, especially for elders and\n        teachers, to foster research and in all ways to ennoble the profession of medicine and\n        advance it in public opinion. It is equally a duty to avoid that which is unworthy,\n        including the commercial spirit and all practices injurious to the welfare of patients, the\n        public, or the profession.\" [Excerpted from Alpha Omega Alpha website.]","Maintained by Alpha Omega Alpha and the family of William Root.","Contact Information History of Medicine Division National Library of Medicine 8600 Rockville Pike Bethesda, Maryland USA Phone:(301) 402-8878 (Reference Desk) Fax:(301) 402-0872 Email:hmdref@nlm.nih.gov","Processed by HMD Staff; Jim Labosier Processing Completed 1980s; Nov. 2012 Encoded by Dan Jenkins; Jim Labosier","Something incredible is waiting to be known.

The bulk of the collection consists of 90 journals that contain detailed accounts of Mary McCornack Thompson's work as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in South Africa. During her 43 years as a missionary Thompson worked briefly at the mission station at Esidumbi in South Africa, but she spent most of her time at the Mount Selinda mission in the Melsetter region of Rhodesia ( Zimbabwe). In the diaries, Thompson wrote of her daily activities as a missionary, including building and expanding the mission, encounters with locals, learning Zulu, wildlife, meeting other missionaries, teaching and praying. These detailed entries offer a glimpse into the social conditions, race relations, and native cultures of various South African regions. Thompson also recounts her many travels throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, and Canada. Included in the collection is one folder of correspondence, mainly from William L. Thompson (Thompson's husband) regarding the collection and the transfer of Mary's diaries to Oberlin College."," The  Diaries Series  documents Thompson's almost daily activities between the years of 1887-1933, spanning all five of her missionary trips to Africa. Volumes 1-6 describe her first missionary trip (1887-1899), detailing her preparations for travel to Africa, her arrival, and her first encounters with native Africans. During this time Thompson married another missionary, William L. Thompson, and together they traveled for four months, mostly on foot, from South Africa to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). They settled at Mount Selinda, which would be their home in Africa for the next forty years. Volumes 6-8 describe Mary Thompson's visits to the United States between her missionary trips, including taking cooking and photography classes, and traveling around the U.S. ","Volumes 8-35 detail her second trip to Africa (1901-1910), during which time the mission at Mount Selinda began to expand rapidly. Thompson often writes about elections at the mission, as well as prayer services and sermons. She occasionally mentions world events such as the explosion of Mt. Pelee in Martinique, the Russian Revolution, and the detention of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. She also describes her experiences with local natives who teach her the Zulu language. Volumes 35-40 cover Thompson's trip back to the United States in 1910. She describes lectures and meetings, and discussions on the outbreak of World War I. Her diary entries become less frequent during her stay in the United States. ","Volumes 40-57 span her third trip to Africa (1911-1917), and entries tend to be bit longer and more descriptive. On this trip volumes 44-49 were written in diary volumes entitled \"Warriors of Africa,\" whose covers depict African natives, and volumes 52-55 in volumes bearing the title \"Empire Exercise,\" portraying historical events. Volumes 57 and 58 describe Thompson's travels during 1916-17 (at the height of World War I) to Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, and the U.S. Volumes 59-60 recount her time back in the United States; much of the content revolves around religious and political meetings on World War I, and the 1918 U.S. midterm elections..","Volumes 61-77 detail her fourth trip to Africa (1919-1925), and volumes 78-89 her fifth and last trip to Africa (1926-1932). Volume 80 does not begin until page 92, and is filled with various writing; some entries appear to be copies of diaries of historical figures. The diary entitled \"Notes on Work at Moody Bible Institute\" contains lecture notes, thoughts, scripture quotations, and observations by Thompson while attending a higher-education Christian organization, Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago in 1918, between her third and fourth missionary trips to Africa.","The  Correspondence Series  contains six letters regarding the collection and transfer of Mary McCornack Thompson's diaries after her death in 1936. The first five letters are from by William L. Thompson (Thompson's husband), to his nieces Margaret and Jay Urice, who are locating and collecting Mary's diaries.

The bulk of the collection consists of 90 journals that contain detailed accounts of Mary McCornack Thompson's work as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in South Africa. During her 43 years as a missionary Thompson worked briefly at the mission station at Esidumbi in South Africa, but she spent most of her time at the Mount Selinda mission in the Melsetter region of Rhodesia ( Zimbabwe). In the diaries, Thompson wrote of her daily activities as a missionary, including building and expanding the mission, encounters with locals, learning Zulu, wildlife, meeting other missionaries, teaching and praying. These detailed entries offer a glimpse into the social conditions, race relations, and native cultures of various South African regions. Thompson also recounts her many travels throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, and Canada. Included in the collection is one folder of correspondence, mainly from William L. Thompson (Thompson's husband) regarding the collection and the transfer of Mary's diaries to Oberlin College."," The  Diaries Series  documents Thompson's almost daily activities between the years of 1887-1933, spanning all five of her missionary trips to Africa. Volumes 1-6 describe her first missionary trip (1887-1899), detailing her preparations for travel to Africa, her arrival, and her first encounters with native Africans. During this time Thompson married another missionary, William L. Thompson, and together they traveled for four months, mostly on foot, from South Africa to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). They settled at Mount Selinda, which would be their home in Africa for the next forty years. Volumes 6-8 describe Mary Thompson's visits to the United States between her missionary trips, including taking cooking and photography classes, and traveling around the U.S. ","Volumes 8-35 detail her second trip to Africa (1901-1910), during which time the mission at Mount Selinda began to expand rapidly. Thompson often writes about elections at the mission, as well as prayer services and sermons. She occasionally mentions world events such as the explosion of Mt. Pelee in Martinique, the Russian Revolution, and the detention of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. She also describes her experiences with local natives who teach her the Zulu language. Volumes 35-40 cover Thompson's trip back to the United States in 1910. She describes lectures and meetings, and discussions on the outbreak of World War I. Her diary entries become less frequent during her stay in the United States. ","Volumes 40-57 span her third trip to Africa (1911-1917), and entries tend to be bit longer and more descriptive. On this trip volumes 44-49 were written in diary volumes entitled \"Warriors of Africa,\" whose covers depict African natives, and volumes 52-55 in volumes bearing the title \"Empire Exercise,\" portraying historical events. Volumes 57 and 58 describe Thompson's travels during 1916-17 (at the height of World War I) to Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, and the U.S. Volumes 59-60 recount her time back in the United States; much of the content revolves around religious and political meetings on World War I, and the 1918 U.S. midterm elections..","Volumes 61-77 detail her fourth trip to Africa (1919-1925), and volumes 78-89 her fifth and last trip to Africa (1926-1932). Volume 80 does not begin until page 92, and is filled with various writing; some entries appear to be copies of diaries of historical figures. The diary entitled \"Notes on Work at Moody Bible Institute\" contains lecture notes, thoughts, scripture quotations, and observations by Thompson while attending a higher-education Christian organization, Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago in 1918, between her third and fourth missionary trips to Africa.","The  Correspondence Series  contains six letters regarding the collection and transfer of Mary McCornack Thompson's diaries after her death in 1936. The first five letters are from by William L. Thompson (Thompson's husband), to his nieces Margaret and Jay Urice, who are locating and collecting Mary's diaries. The sixth letter is from Jay Urice to Mr. Julian Fowler, a librarian at Oberlin College, about having Mary's diaries sent to Oberlin.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.

The\n        schools themselves-there were about 150-were by and large of dubious quality. With a few\n        exceptions, notably the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, founded in 1893, the medical\n        school curriculum consisted of a series of lectures, sometimes supplemented by\n        demonstrations at the bedside or in the laboratory, if such existed."," Root and his fellow medical students met to form a society that would foster honesty and\n        formulate higher ideals of scholastic achievement. Chartered in 1903 by the state of\n        Illinois, Alpha Omega Alpha's growth has paralleled the development of American medical\n        education. Within a decade after the society was founded, chapters were established at\n        seventeen medical schools. At present there are 124 active chapters in the United States and\n        Canada. Today, when students and established physicians alike reject easy platitudes, the\n        tenets of the society are more relevant than ever. As framed by Root, they are a modern\n        interpretation of the Hippocratic oath: \"It is the duty of members to foster the scientific\n        and philosophical features of the medical profession, to look beyond self to the welfare of\n        the profession and of the public, to cultivate social mindedness, as well as individualistic\n        attitude toward responsibilities, to show respect for colleagues, especially for elders and\n        teachers, to foster research and in all ways to ennoble the profession of medicine and\n        advance it in public opinion. It is equally a duty to avoid that which is unworthy,\n        including the commercial spirit and all practices injurious to the welfare of patients, the\n        public, or the profession.\" [Excerpted from Alpha Omega Alpha website.]"],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaintained by Alpha Omega Alpha and the family of William Root.\u003c/p\u003e"],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["Maintained by Alpha Omega Alpha and the family of William Root."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003clist type=\"ordered\"\u003e\n        \u003chead\u003eContact Information\u003c/head\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003eHistory of Medicine Division\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003eNational Library of Medicine\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003e8600 Rockville Pike\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003eBethesda, Maryland\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003eUSA\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003ePhone:(301) 402-8878 (Reference Desk)\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003eFax:(301) 402-0872\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003citem\u003eEmail:hmdref@nlm.nih.gov\u003c/item\u003e\n      \u003c/list\u003e","\u003clist type=\"deflist\"\u003e\n        \u003cdefitem\u003e\n          \u003clabel\u003eProcessed by\u003c/label\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eHMD Staff; Jim Labosier\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003c/defitem\u003e\n        \u003cdefitem\u003e\n          \u003clabel\u003eProcessing Completed\u003c/label\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003e1980s; Nov. 2012\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003c/defitem\u003e\n        \u003cdefitem\u003e\n          \u003clabel\u003eEncoded by\u003c/label\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eDan Jenkins; Jim Labosier\u003c/item\u003e\n        \u003c/defitem\u003e\n      \u003c/list\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["General","General"],"odd_tesim":["Contact Information History of Medicine Division National Library of Medicine 8600 Rockville Pike Bethesda, Maryland USA Phone:(301) 402-8878 (Reference Desk) Fax:(301) 402-0872 Email:hmdref@nlm.nih.gov","Processed by HMD Staff; Jim Labosier Processing Completed 1980s; Nov. 2012 Encoded by Dan Jenkins; Jim Labosier"],"originalsloc_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eSomething incredible is waiting to be known.
