Griffith, <span style="font-style: italic;">Liberalizing the Mind: Two Centuries of Liberal Eduction at Franklin & Marshall College</span> represents the first comprehensive examination of the college's history in over fifty years.<br /><p>(Teaser from PSU Press)<br />With its roots in the German Reformed denomination of Protestantism, Franklin & Marshall College has the distinction of being the first institution of higher learning in America founded (in 1787) for the purpose of educating students of German ethnic background. <em>Liberalizing the Mind</em> is a comprehensive narrative history of Franklin & Marshall College’s transformation from that tiny classical college for German American students into one of the nation’s preeminent liberal arts institutions. It combines analysis of historical context and institutional development with richly detailed accounts of dramatic periods such as the Civil War and the rebellious 1960s. 512 pages | 5 illustrations | 7 x 10 | 2010 | ISBN 978-0-271-03723-3 | cloth: $64.95<span class="biblio"></span></p><hr /><p>Sally F.

The collection consists of books, pamphlets and maps focusing on the Napoleonic era in Europe from the French Revolution of 1789 until the death of Napoleon in 1821. General de Peyster collected many of the items while traveling in Europe conducting research for his own biography of Napoleon, entitled Napoleone di Buonaparte (1896).<br /><br />The exhibit will run through October 31, 2008.

Most items involve chapbook (inexpensively printed, paper-covered pamphlets) tales of murders that occurred in 19th-century Pennsylvania. Of particular interest are items printed in the German-language that became part of the German-American community's folklore, such as the case of Susanna Cox, executed in 1809 for murder.
