After immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland around 1823, he moved to Virginia before August 13, 1868, to continue his profession as a stonemason at Fort Monroe. There, he married Diana Whiting Smith of Elizabeth City County and had at least two children, Samuel Gordon Cumming and Hugh Smith Cumming. In 1879, he established the Hampton Presbyterian Church, now known as First Presbyterian Church. He remarried after Diana's death to Margaret Cumming, and had several other children, including the Presbyterian Missionary, Calvin Knox Cumming. His son, Samuel Gordon Cumming, an attorney in Hampton, Virginia, died in 1920 after being shot by his wife, Elizabeth Bell Waller, following a divorce agreement. Marital ties expanded the Cumming Family to include members from the Waller, Booth, West, Whiting, Kendrick and Smith families.","Hugh Smith Cumming was born on August 17, 1869, in Hampton, Virginia. He attended high school at Baltimore City College and then matriculated at the University of Virginia to study medicine. In 1896, he married Lucy Almira Booth, whose grandfather, Edwin Gilliam Booth, was a noted Philadelphia lawyer and philanthropist to Confederate prisoners held in Northern prisons during the American Civil War. The couple had three children: Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr., Clara Diana Cumming (Kendrick,) and Lucy Booth Cumming, who died as an infant. His half-nephew, Samuel Calvin Cumming, was a Major General in the United States Marine Corps who served during the first and second World Wars and died in 1986.","He graduated from medical school at the University College of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. A year later, in 1895, he began working as a physician for the United States Marine Hospital Service during which time he was stationed in San Francisco and Ellis Island, among other posts. During the World War I, he was then detailed to the U.S. Navy as an adviser in sanitation. In February 1920, he was appointed to be the fifth Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service by President Woodrow Wilson. He kept his position as Surgeon General until he retired in 1936 but continued working as director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau until his death in 1948.","Hugh Smith Cumming's son, Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr. was born March 10, 1900, in Richmond, Virginia, and married Winifred Burney West in 1935, with whom he had no recorded children. He graduated from Western High School in Washington, D.C. before attending the Virginia Military Institute and serving in the United States Army during the first World War. After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1924, he worked in the international department of the National City Bank of New York.","In 1927, Cumming, Jr., accepted a position at the United States Department of State as a clerk with the U.S. Legation in Peking, China. He was then transferred to Washington, D.C. and worked to assist diplomatic and economic relations between the U.S. and several Northern European countries, namely Sweden, and in 1936, he was appointed Executive Assistant to U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.","During the World War II, he represented the State Department during the Joint Anglo Swedish American Commission dealing with Allied Pilots downed in Neutral Sweden. After the war, he was a founding conference delegate to the United Nations, and from 1947 to 1950, was counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Sweden. From 1950 to 1952, he acted as counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and briefly acted as its ambassador.","Cumming, Jr., was the Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) before U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated him for the position of ambassador to Indonesia, where he served in Djakarta from 1954-1957. After returning to Washington, he organized the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He retired in 1964, after working as Counselor for the State Department.","He was a member of several social clubs, including the Alibi Club of Washington, D.C., and the Chevy Chase club of Chevy Chase, Maryland. He survived his wife by eight years and died in 1986.","Reference list:","Cumming, H. S. (1945–1977). Hugh S. Cumming papers (MS C 325).

After immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland around 1823, he moved to Virginia before August 13, 1868, to continue his profession as a stonemason at Fort Monroe. There, he married Diana Whiting Smith of Elizabeth City County and had at least two children, Samuel Gordon Cumming and Hugh Smith Cumming. In 1879, he established the Hampton Presbyterian Church, now known as First Presbyterian Church. He remarried after Diana's death to Margaret Cumming, and had several other children, including the Presbyterian Missionary, Calvin Knox Cumming. His son, Samuel Gordon Cumming, an attorney in Hampton, Virginia, died in 1920 after being shot by his wife, Elizabeth Bell Waller, following a divorce agreement. Marital ties expanded the Cumming Family to include members from the Waller, Booth, West, Whiting, Kendrick and Smith families.","Hugh Smith Cumming was born on August 17, 1869, in Hampton, Virginia. He attended high school at Baltimore City College and then matriculated at the University of Virginia to study medicine. In 1896, he married Lucy Almira Booth, whose grandfather, Edwin Gilliam Booth, was a noted Philadelphia lawyer and philanthropist to Confederate prisoners held in Northern prisons during the American Civil War. The couple had three children: Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr., Clara Diana Cumming (Kendrick,) and Lucy Booth Cumming, who died as an infant. His half-nephew, Samuel Calvin Cumming, was a Major General in the United States Marine Corps who served during the first and second World Wars and died in 1986.","He graduated from medical school at the University College of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. A year later, in 1895, he began working as a physician for the United States Marine Hospital Service during which time he was stationed in San Francisco and Ellis Island, among other posts. During the World War I, he was then detailed to the U.S. Navy as an adviser in sanitation. In February 1920, he was appointed to be the fifth Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service by President Woodrow Wilson. He kept his position as Surgeon General until he retired in 1936 but continued working as director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau until his death in 1948.","Hugh Smith Cumming's son, Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr. was born March 10, 1900, in Richmond, Virginia, and married Winifred Burney West in 1935, with whom he had no recorded children.

After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1924, he worked in the international department of the National City Bank of New York.","In 1927, Cumming, Jr., accepted a position at the United States Department of State as a clerk with the U.S. Legation in Peking, China. He was then transferred to Washington, D.C. and worked to assist diplomatic and economic relations between the U.S. and several Northern European countries, namely Sweden, and in 1936, he was appointed Executive Assistant to U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.","During the World War II, he represented the State Department during the Joint Anglo Swedish American Commission dealing with Allied Pilots downed in Neutral Sweden.

After immigrating to Baltimore, Maryland around 1823, he moved to Virginia before August 13, 1868, to continue his profession as a stonemason at Fort Monroe. There, he married Diana Whiting Smith of Elizabeth City County and had at least two children, Samuel Gordon Cumming and Hugh Smith Cumming. In 1879, he established the Hampton Presbyterian Church, now known as First Presbyterian Church. He remarried after Diana's death to Margaret Cumming, and had several other children, including the Presbyterian Missionary, Calvin Knox Cumming. His son, Samuel Gordon Cumming, an attorney in Hampton, Virginia, died in 1920 after being shot by his wife, Elizabeth Bell Waller, following a divorce agreement. Marital ties expanded the Cumming Family to include members from the Waller, Booth, West, Whiting, Kendrick and Smith families.","Hugh Smith Cumming was born on August 17, 1869, in Hampton, Virginia. He attended high school at Baltimore City College and then matriculated at the University of Virginia to study medicine. In 1896, he married Lucy Almira Booth, whose grandfather, Edwin Gilliam Booth, was a noted Philadelphia lawyer and philanthropist to Confederate prisoners held in Northern prisons during the American Civil War. The couple had three children: Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr., Clara Diana Cumming (Kendrick,) and Lucy Booth Cumming, who died as an infant. His half-nephew, Samuel Calvin Cumming, was a Major General in the United States Marine Corps who served during the first and second World Wars and died in 1986.","He graduated from medical school at the University College of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. A year later, in 1895, he began working as a physician for the United States Marine Hospital Service during which time he was stationed in San Francisco and Ellis Island, among other posts. During the World War I, he was then detailed to the U.S. Navy as an adviser in sanitation. In February 1920, he was appointed to be the fifth Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service by President Woodrow Wilson. He kept his position as Surgeon General until he retired in 1936 but continued working as director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau until his death in 1948.","Hugh Smith Cumming's son, Hugh Smith Cumming, Jr. was born March 10, 1900, in Richmond, Virginia, and married Winifred Burney West in 1935, with whom he had no recorded children. He graduated from Western High School in Washington, D.C. before attending the Virginia Military Institute and serving in the United States Army during the first World War. After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1924, he worked in the international department of the National City Bank of New York.","In 1927, Cumming, Jr., accepted a position at the United States Department of State as a clerk with the U.S. Legation in Peking, China. He was then transferred to Washington, D.C. and worked to assist diplomatic and economic relations between the U.S. and several Northern European countries, namely Sweden, and in 1936, he was appointed Executive Assistant to U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.","During the World War II, he represented the State Department during the Joint Anglo Swedish American Commission dealing with Allied Pilots downed in Neutral Sweden. After the war, he was a founding conference delegate to the United Nations, and from 1947 to 1950, was counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Sweden. From 1950 to 1952, he acted as counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and briefly acted as its ambassador.","Cumming, Jr., was the Deputy Secretary General for Political Affairs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) before U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated him for the position of ambassador to Indonesia, where he served in Djakarta from 1954-1957. After returning to Washington, he organized the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He retired in 1964, after working as Counselor for the State Department.","He was a member of several social clubs, including the Alibi Club of Washington, D.C., and the Chevy Chase club of Chevy Chase, Maryland. He survived his wife by eight years and died in 1986.","Reference list:","Cumming, H. S. (1945–1977). Hugh S. Cumming papers (MS C 325).

This series is arranged in four subseries: Subseries A: Artifacts, chiefly concerning the Second International Mitford Homecoming; Subseries B: Albums and Volumes;Subseries C: Books Influential in the Life of Jan Karon; and Subseries D: Audiovisual and Born Digital Material.","Jan Karon was born on March 14, 1937 in Lenoir, North Carolina, to Robert Cecil Wilson (1914-1977) and Wanda Lee Wilson (1921- ) and was named Janice Meredith after the title of a popular novel. She and her younger sister, Brenda, lived as children with her grandparents, Monroe Ivy Cloer and Fannie Bush Cloer, on their farm outside Hudson, North Carolina. Both sisters later moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to join their mother who had married Toby Setzer, the owner of a hosiery knitting business.","At fourteen, Karon married Robert Bryan Freeland (1932-1995) in Charlotte and had one daughter, Candace Rae Freeland, in 1952. Her advertising career began at the age of eighteen, at Walter J. Klein Company, one of the first advertising agencies in the region.","Karon's marriage to Robert Freeland ended in divorce and in her early twenties, Karon married a Duke Power chemist, Bill Orth, and became active in the Charlotte Little Theater, the Mint Museum Drama Guild, and in local social and political issues. She was one of four white women who marched in an early civil rights protest, led by the Reverend Sydney Freeman, along Charlotte's North Tyron Street.","During the late sixties, she and Orth divorced. Karon then married Arthur Karon, a clothing salesman who moved the family to Berkeley, California, where they lived for three years.","After their marriage ended, Karon returned to Charlotte, North Carolina, and begun working again in advertising. Her dismissal from a Charlotte TV production company in 1982 precipitated what she called the 'proverbial dark night of the soul.' Karon returned to the faith taught her as a child by her grandmother. She began attending Charlotte's interdenominational Calvary Church, and worked as a free-lance copywriter until her move to Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1983, where she joined McKinney and Silver, an internationally renowned advertising firm.","She became an award- winning creative vice-president at McKinney, working on cruise line and airline accounts. There she won, with art director Michael Winslow, the coveted Steven E. Kelly Award, the print advertising equivalent of the Academy Award. Semi-finalists included British Airways, Harley-Davidson, and Waterford Crystal.","Her daughter, Candace Freeland, pursued photojournalism, winning numerous awards with the \"Miami Herald\", the \"Charlotte Observer\", and a stint in Central America for the \"U.S. News and World Report\".","In order to pursue her dream of writing a novel, Karon left her advertising career and, at age fifty, bought a house in the small mountain town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where she supported  her dream with freelance advertising work.","Soon, she approached the editor of \"The Blowing Rocket\" with a couple of chapters featuring an Episcopal priest named Tim Kavanagh, which he urged her to run in \"The Blowing Rocket\". The ensuing two years of writing  the priest's story for \"The Blowing Rocket\" resulted in her first novel,  \"At Home in Mitford\", published in paper by a small publishing house in the Midwest. Twenty years after its initial release in paper, the novel appeared in its 85th printing, in a new, 20th anniversary hardcover edition, from Penguin-Random House, the world's largest trade publisher.","The second and third Mitford novels, \"A Light in the Window\" and \"These High Green Hills\", were published by the same house, with limited marketing and distribution. Karon took the promotion of her books into her own hands, cold-selling them to bookstores and befriending bookstore owners. In Raleigh, bookseller Nancy Olson of Quail Ridge Books, was given a copy of \"At Home in Mitford\" by Mary Richardson, Karon's Raleigh neighbor and friend. Olson admired the work and in 1996 introduced Karon to literary agent Liz Darhansoff. Darhansoff showed the  Karon books to Carolyn Carlson at Penguin, and a long and fruitful relationship began. At this writing (2016), Karon has published twenty-two works of fiction and non-fiction,  with sales estimated at more than 40 million, not including foreign sales in nineteen countries. Karon is currently published by G.P. Putnam's Sons, an imprint of Penguin-Random House; her editor is Christine Pepe.","Jan Karon has won much recognition for her work. Among these are three nominations by the American Booksellers Association of \"At Home in Mitford\" for Best Book of the Year for three consecutive years (1996-1998) – a one-time-only occurrence in the Association's history to date.","In 2013, \"Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good\", which spent seventeen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, was given the Library of Virginia's Best Fiction of the Year award. In 2015, Karon received The Library of Virginia's Lifetime Achievement Award. And in 2016, \"Come Rain or Come Shine\" debuting at #1 on the \"New York Times\" list, was the recipient of the 2016 Christy Award. A further recognition is the designation of Jan Karon as a lay Canon for the Arts in the Episcopal Diocese of Quincy.

He did not seek reelection in 2008 and has rejoined the law firm of Hogan and Hartson, where he worked before joining the Department of Defense.","He grew up in Washington D.C. and joined the Navy shortly after graduating from high school, leaving as a Petty Officer 3rd Class. He then did his undergraduate studies at Washington and Lee University and began post-graduate studies at University of Virginia Law School.","With the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Warner joined the Marine Corps, first in active duty and then as a reserve, finally earning the rank of Captain. He resumed his studies at George Washington University and received his law degree in 1953.","He has been married three times.

Kenan, Jr. professor of English (and professor emeritus) at the University of Virginia for an impressive 42 years (1967-2009). Born to Polish immigrant parents in Paterson, New Jersey on February 23, 1917, Cohen became one of the most eminent critical thinkers and educators of Twentieth Century America with a career that spanned more than 60 years. (He also taught at the City College of New York (1947-1950), the University of California Los Angeles (1950-1967), and James Madison University (2010-2013). His focus was on 18th-Century British literature, and he was a pioneer in the field of literary theory. He founded and edited the \"New Literary History Journal\", which was the first journal of its kind to combine the study of literature with other disciplines. It won more than six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for its special issues, a unique honor among scholarly journals.  Cohen sought out different points of view from contributors across the globe to create more diverse dialogue in the journal. His extraordinary ability to promote and account for diverse positions on theory at professional conferences was legendary. He also founded and directed the Commonwealth Center for Literary and Cultural Change at the University of Virginia (1988-1995). The Center was set up by the Virginia Council of Higher Education to study the concept of change in individuals, and institutions in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. It also viewed the changes that develop in cultural, social, and political situations in African, Asian, and other non-western societies. The \"New Literary History\" Journal published articles and activities of the Center. In 2010 Cohen became the Provost's Distinguished Professor at James Madison University where he taught courses on Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. Cohen's innovative concept of technology led to the establishment of the Cohen Center for the Study of Technological Humanism at James Madison University. His celebrated transactive classroom strategies frequently attracted colleagues and devoted students to his courses. He taught and mentored many generations of students, preparing them for lives and careers as teachers and scholars. He maintained contact with many of his students and made recommendations supporting their teaching, fellowships, and tenure positions throughout their careers. Cohen was a dedicated teacher who examined the changing concepts and styles found in literature and other disciplines of study. Cohen led his students towards deeper insights into understanding cultural changes for society and increased awareness of their perceptions in professional and daily life. Cohen was the editor and author of many articles and books including, \"The Art of Discrimination\" (1964), \"The Essential David Hume\" (1965), \"The Unfolding of 'The Season\" (1970),\"New Directions in Literary History\" (1974), \"Studies in Eighteenth-Century British Art and Aesthetics\" (1985), \"The Future of Literary Theory\" (1989), \"Studies in Historical Change\" (1992), \"History and...: Histories Within the Human Sciences\" (1995), and \"Literature and History\". He was well respected as an author and was best known for promoting the work of his colleagues through editing and publishing their articles.","He was married to Libby Okun Cohen for more than 70 years. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on July 11, 1913. Due to persecution, her family emigrated to Vilna (now Vilnius) early in her life. She was a frequent companion in Ralph's classes and at his speaking engagements around the world, intent both on supporting her husband and continuing her own education. She co-wrote the index of Volumes I-X for the \"New Literary History\". She was a librarian at California State College Northridge and created the library at the Tandem Friends School where she was the librarian from 1970 to 1986. Under her inspired and challenging guidance, the multifaceted library generated unprecedented dialogue and quickly became known as \"Tandem's Cultural Center. The Tandem library honored her by naming it the Libby O. Cohen Library. She also helped build the multicultural library at the University's Sundberg International Center. She spoke many languages and partnered with her husband as a promoter of education and multiculturalism.  James Madison University established the Libby Okun Cohen Chair in technological humanism while her husband was teaching there. She was also an author of children stories, an independent genealogy researcher, a project coordinator for an oral history project that interviewed survivors from Nazi Germany, and an intergenerational program L'Dor V'Dor for young students to learn and share in the lives of older individuals.  Ralph and Libby Cohen had two children, Ruth Cohen Morris, and David Cohen who were both born during World War II. Ruth Morris followed in her mother's footsteps by completing a doctorate in Information and Library Science at the University of Michigan, thereby initiating her career as a distinguished librarian. She was married to David B. Morris who co-taught some courses with Ralph Cohen.  Libby Cohen died at age 99 in 2013. Ralph Cohen also died at age 99 in 2016.","Sources:\nhttp://best-hashtags.com/hashtag/teacherappreciation/\nhttps://news.virginia.edu/content/memoriam-ralph-cohen-professor-who-transformed-literary-criticism-0\nhttps://muse.jhu.edu/article/380552/pdf\nhttps://dailyprogress.com/ralph-cohen/article_de380d0a-185c-510e-b74d-3a33511feed3.html\nhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/469184?seq=1\nhttps://www.jmu.edu/cohencenter/our-people/cohen-ralph.shtml\nhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/236774952_History_and_Change_An_Interview_with_Ralph_Cohen\nhttps://play.google.com/store/books/details/Genre_Theory_and_Historical_Change_Theoretical_Ess?id=0PsmDwAAQBAJ\u0026hl=sw\nhttps://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Ralph-Cohen/dp/0813940117\nRalph Cohen, \"Notes for a History\" (from within the collection)\nVideo interview: \nhttps://www.jmu.edu/news/2010/10/18-ralph-cohen.shtml","This collection contains the teaching, research, and personal papers of Ralph Cohen, the William R.

He also felt that it is necessary to nurture a genuine respect for different perspectives of other individuals as a pathway to becoming a better society. Each issue of the New Literary History Journal selects a theme and invites authors to create opposing dialogues.

The Cohen's daughter was married to David B. Morris who co-taught some classes with Ralph Cohen. There are mementos and readings documenting many of the family Seder (Pesach Haggadah).  Libby Cohens' papers show her love of learning; her work in an intergenerational project (L'Dor V'Dor) with students and older generations; a Holocaust Oral History project, independent research in genealogy, and her career as an outstanding librarian.","This collection is open for use except for restricted materials due to FERPA Boxes 138-150.","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections

Kenan, Jr. professor of English (and professor emeritus) at the University of Virginia for an impressive 42 years (1967-2009). Born to Polish immigrant parents in Paterson, New Jersey on February 23, 1917, Cohen became one of the most eminent critical thinkers and educators of Twentieth Century America with a career that spanned more than 60 years. (He also taught at the City College of New York (1947-1950), the University of California Los Angeles (1950-1967), and James Madison University (2010-2013). His focus was on 18th-Century British literature, and he was a pioneer in the field of literary theory. He founded and edited the \"New Literary History Journal\", which was the first journal of its kind to combine the study of literature with other disciplines. It won more than six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for its special issues, a unique honor among scholarly journals.  Cohen sought out different points of view from contributors across the globe to create more diverse dialogue in the journal. His extraordinary ability to promote and account for diverse positions on theory at professional conferences was legendary. He also founded and directed the Commonwealth Center for Literary and Cultural Change at the University of Virginia (1988-1995). The Center was set up by the Virginia Council of Higher Education to study the concept of change in individuals, and institutions in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. It also viewed the changes that develop in cultural, social, and political situations in African, Asian, and other non-western societies. The \"New Literary History\" Journal published articles and activities of the Center. In 2010 Cohen became the Provost's Distinguished Professor at James Madison University where he taught courses on Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. Cohen's innovative concept of technology led to the establishment of the Cohen Center for the Study of Technological Humanism at James Madison University. His celebrated transactive classroom strategies frequently attracted colleagues and devoted students to his courses. He taught and mentored many generations of students, preparing them for lives and careers as teachers and scholars. He maintained contact with many of his students and made recommendations supporting their teaching, fellowships, and tenure positions throughout their careers. Cohen was a dedicated teacher who examined the changing concepts and styles found in literature and other disciplines of study. Cohen led his students towards deeper insights into understanding cultural changes for society and increased awareness of their perceptions in professional and daily life. Cohen was the editor and author of many articles and books including, \"The Art of Discrimination\" (1964), \"The Essential David Hume\" (1965), \"The Unfolding of 'The Season\" (1970),\"New Directions in Literary History\" (1974), \"Studies in Eighteenth-Century British Art and Aesthetics\" (1985), \"The Future of Literary Theory\" (1989), \"Studies in Historical Change\" (1992), \"History and...: Histories Within the Human Sciences\" (1995), and \"Literature and History\". He was well respected as an author and was best known for promoting the work of his colleagues through editing and publishing their articles. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHe was married to Libby Okun Cohen for more than 70 years. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on July 11, 1913. Due to persecution, her family emigrated to Vilna (now Vilnius) early in her life. She was a frequent companion in Ralph's classes and at his speaking engagements around the world, intent both on supporting her husband and continuing her own education. She co-wrote the index of Volumes I-X for the \"New Literary History\". She was a librarian at California State College Northridge and created the library at the Tandem Friends School where she was the librarian from 1970 to 1986. Under her inspired and challenging guidance, the multifaceted library generated unprecedented dialogue and quickly became known as \"Tandem's Cultural Center. The Tandem library honored her by naming it the Libby O. Cohen Library. She also helped build the multicultural library at the University's Sundberg International Center. She spoke many languages and partnered with her husband as a promoter of education and multiculturalism.  James Madison University established the Libby Okun Cohen Chair in technological humanism while her husband was teaching there. She was also an author of children stories, an independent genealogy researcher, a project coordinator for an oral history project that interviewed survivors from Nazi Germany, and an intergenerational program L'Dor V'Dor for young students to learn and share in the lives of older individuals.  Ralph and Libby Cohen had two children, Ruth Cohen Morris, and David Cohen who were both born during World War II. Ruth Morris followed in her mother's footsteps by completing a doctorate in Information and Library Science at the University of Michigan, thereby initiating her career as a distinguished librarian. She was married to David B. Morris who co-taught some courses with Ralph Cohen.  Libby Cohen died at age 99 in 2013.

Cohen was the editor and author of many articles and books including, \"The Art of Discrimination\" (1964), \"The Essential David Hume\" (1965), \"The Unfolding of 'The Season\" (1970),\"New Directions in Literary History\" (1974), \"Studies in Eighteenth-Century British Art and Aesthetics\" (1985), \"The Future of Literary Theory\" (1989), \"Studies in Historical Change\" (1992), \"History and...: Histories Within the Human Sciences\" (1995), and \"Literature and History\". He was well respected as an author and was best known for promoting the work of his colleagues through editing and publishing their articles.","He was married to Libby Okun Cohen for more than 70 years. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on July 11, 1913. Due to persecution, her family emigrated to Vilna (now Vilnius) early in her life. She was a frequent companion in Ralph's classes and at his speaking engagements around the world, intent both on supporting her husband and continuing her own education. She co-wrote the index of Volumes I-X for the \"New Literary History\". She was a librarian at California State College Northridge and created the library at the Tandem Friends School where she was the librarian from 1970 to 1986. Under her inspired and challenging guidance, the multifaceted library generated unprecedented dialogue and quickly became known as \"Tandem's Cultural Center. The Tandem library honored her by naming it the Libby O. Cohen Library. She also helped build the multicultural library at the University's Sundberg International Center. She spoke many languages and partnered with her husband as a promoter of education and multiculturalism.  James Madison University established the Libby Okun Cohen Chair in technological humanism while her husband was teaching there. She was also an author of children stories, an independent genealogy researcher, a project coordinator for an oral history project that interviewed survivors from Nazi Germany, and an intergenerational program L'Dor V'Dor for young students to learn and share in the lives of older individuals.  Ralph and Libby Cohen had two children, Ruth Cohen Morris, and David Cohen who were both born during World War II. Ruth Morris followed in her mother's footsteps by completing a doctorate in Information and Library Science at the University of Michigan, thereby initiating her career as a distinguished librarian. She was married to David B. Morris who co-taught some courses with Ralph Cohen.  Libby Cohen died at age 99 in 2013.

Kenan, Jr. professor of English (and professor emeritus) at the University of Virginia for an impressive 42 years (1967-2009). Born to Polish immigrant parents in Paterson, New Jersey on February 23, 1917, Cohen became one of the most eminent critical thinkers and educators of Twentieth Century America with a career that spanned more than 60 years. (He also taught at the City College of New York (1947-1950), the University of California Los Angeles (1950-1967), and James Madison University (2010-2013). His focus was on 18th-Century British literature, and he was a pioneer in the field of literary theory. He founded and edited the \"New Literary History Journal\", which was the first journal of its kind to combine the study of literature with other disciplines. It won more than six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for its special issues, a unique honor among scholarly journals.  Cohen sought out different points of view from contributors across the globe to create more diverse dialogue in the journal. His extraordinary ability to promote and account for diverse positions on theory at professional conferences was legendary. He also founded and directed the Commonwealth Center for Literary and Cultural Change at the University of Virginia (1988-1995). The Center was set up by the Virginia Council of Higher Education to study the concept of change in individuals, and institutions in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. It also viewed the changes that develop in cultural, social, and political situations in African, Asian, and other non-western societies. The \"New Literary History\" Journal published articles and activities of the Center. In 2010 Cohen became the Provost's Distinguished Professor at James Madison University where he taught courses on Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. Cohen's innovative concept of technology led to the establishment of the Cohen Center for the Study of Technological Humanism at James Madison University. His celebrated transactive classroom strategies frequently attracted colleagues and devoted students to his courses. He taught and mentored many generations of students, preparing them for lives and careers as teachers and scholars. He maintained contact with many of his students and made recommendations supporting their teaching, fellowships, and tenure positions throughout their careers. Cohen was a dedicated teacher who examined the changing concepts and styles found in literature and other disciplines of study. Cohen led his students towards deeper insights into understanding cultural changes for society and increased awareness of their perceptions in professional and daily life. Cohen was the editor and author of many articles and books including, \"The Art of Discrimination\" (1964), \"The Essential David Hume\" (1965), \"The Unfolding of 'The Season\" (1970),\"New Directions in Literary History\" (1974), \"Studies in Eighteenth-Century British Art and Aesthetics\" (1985), \"The Future of Literary Theory\" (1989), \"Studies in Historical Change\" (1992), \"History and...: Histories Within the Human Sciences\" (1995), and \"Literature and History\". He was well respected as an author and was best known for promoting the work of his colleagues through editing and publishing their articles.","He was married to Libby Okun Cohen for more than 70 years.

As a strong promoter of multiculturalism and feminism, he included authors from the non-western world, and men and women with varying points of view and different backgrounds. Frequent authors/contributors are George Garrett, Joyce A. Joyce, Ihab Hassan, Toril Moi, Xiaoying Wang, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., David Bleich, Hayden White, Paul Ricoeur, Helene Cixous, William K.

The content in this part of the collection spans Ancient and Medieval Literature (\"The Greats\"), English and Continental Literature 1660-1770, English and Continental Literature 1770 to 1900, British Literature, American 19th and 20th Century Literature and literary history, literary change, literary criticism, aesthetics, psychology, and genre. These materials cover a complete and impressive range of literary authors and their works throughout the history of literature including the Bible, ballads and medieval manuscripts, Chaucer, Homer, Virgil, Pope, Donne, Blake, Hume, Thomson, Dryden, Milton, Machiavelli, Dante, Shakespeare, Goldsmith, Austen, Cather, T.S. Eliot, George Elliot, Ellen Glasgow, Emily Dickenson, the Romantics, the Nature Poets, Swift, Olaudah Equiano, James, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Woolf, and many more. These lecture notes reveal the scope and wealth of Ralph Cohen's vast knowledge of literature and offer an opportunity for others to continue learning through his papers.","Of interest are papers written by Ralph Cohen when he was a young college student, and which are included with the papers written by his students on similar subjects. There are also drafts of articles by Ralph Cohen outlining his plans for the New Literary History, and interviews with Ralph Cohen about his teaching. As an editor, Ralph Cohen sought to publish the work of his colleagues, but this collection has some of his original drafts of articles on literary theory. (Series 2: Box 85 and 86)","The collection also includes the personal papers of Ralph Cohen's family including his wife, Libby Okun Cohen and their two children, Ruth Cohen Morris, and David Morris. The Cohen's daughter was married to David B. Morris who co-taught some classes with Ralph Cohen. There are mementos and readings documenting many of the family Seder (Pesach Haggadah).  Libby Cohens' papers show her love of learning; her work in an intergenerational project (L'Dor V'Dor) with students and older generations; a Holocaust Oral History project, independent research in genealogy, and her career as an outstanding librarian.","This collection is open for use except for restricted materials due to FERPA Boxes 138-150.","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections

Kenan, Jr. professor of English (and professor emeritus) at the University of Virginia for an impressive 42 years (1967-2009). Born to Polish immigrant parents in Paterson, New Jersey on February 23, 1917, Cohen became one of the most eminent critical thinkers and educators of Twentieth Century America with a career that spanned more than 60 years. (He also taught at the City College of New York (1947-1950), the University of California Los Angeles (1950-1967), and James Madison University (2010-2013). His focus was on 18th-Century British literature, and he was a pioneer in the field of literary theory. He founded and edited the \"New Literary History Journal\", which was the first journal of its kind to combine the study of literature with other disciplines. It won more than six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for its special issues, a unique honor among scholarly journals.  Cohen sought out different points of view from contributors across the globe to create more diverse dialogue in the journal. His extraordinary ability to promote and account for diverse positions on theory at professional conferences was legendary. He also founded and directed the Commonwealth Center for Literary and Cultural Change at the University of Virginia (1988-1995). The Center was set up by the Virginia Council of Higher Education to study the concept of change in individuals, and institutions in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. It also viewed the changes that develop in cultural, social, and political situations in African, Asian, and other non-western societies. The \"New Literary History\" Journal published articles and activities of the Center. In 2010 Cohen became the Provost's Distinguished Professor at James Madison University where he taught courses on Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. Cohen's innovative concept of technology led to the establishment of the Cohen Center for the Study of Technological Humanism at James Madison University. His celebrated transactive classroom strategies frequently attracted colleagues and devoted students to his courses. He taught and mentored many generations of students, preparing them for lives and careers as teachers and scholars. He maintained contact with many of his students and made recommendations supporting their teaching, fellowships, and tenure positions throughout their careers. Cohen was a dedicated teacher who examined the changing concepts and styles found in literature and other disciplines of study. Cohen led his students towards deeper insights into understanding cultural changes for society and increased awareness of their perceptions in professional and daily life. Cohen was the editor and author of many articles and books including, \"The Art of Discrimination\" (1964), \"The Essential David Hume\" (1965), \"The Unfolding of 'The Season\" (1970),\"New Directions in Literary History\" (1974), \"Studies in Eighteenth-Century British Art and Aesthetics\" (1985), \"The Future of Literary Theory\" (1989), \"Studies in Historical Change\" (1992), \"History and...: Histories Within the Human Sciences\" (1995), and \"Literature and History\". He was well respected as an author and was best known for promoting the work of his colleagues through editing and publishing their articles. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHe was married to Libby Okun Cohen for more than 70 years. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on July 11, 1913. Due to persecution, her family emigrated to Vilna (now Vilnius) early in her life. She was a frequent companion in Ralph's classes and at his speaking engagements around the world, intent both on supporting her husband and continuing her own education. She co-wrote the index of Volumes I-X for the \"New Literary History\". She was a librarian at California State College Northridge and created the library at the Tandem Friends School where she was the librarian from 1970 to 1986. Under her inspired and challenging guidance, the multifaceted library generated unprecedented dialogue and quickly became known as \"Tandem's Cultural Center. The Tandem library honored her by naming it the Libby O. Cohen Library. She also helped build the multicultural library at the University's Sundberg International Center. She spoke many languages and partnered with her husband as a promoter of education and multiculturalism.  James Madison University established the Libby Okun Cohen Chair in technological humanism while her husband was teaching there. She was also an author of children stories, an independent genealogy researcher, a project coordinator for an oral history project that interviewed survivors from Nazi Germany, and an intergenerational program L'Dor V'Dor for young students to learn and share in the lives of older individuals.  Ralph and Libby Cohen had two children, Ruth Cohen Morris, and David Cohen who were both born during World War II.

Kenan, Jr. professor of English (and professor emeritus) at the University of Virginia for an impressive 42 years (1967-2009). Born to Polish immigrant parents in Paterson, New Jersey on February 23, 1917, Cohen became one of the most eminent critical thinkers and educators of Twentieth Century America with a career that spanned more than 60 years. (He also taught at the City College of New York (1947-1950), the University of California Los Angeles (1950-1967), and James Madison University (2010-2013). His focus was on 18th-Century British literature, and he was a pioneer in the field of literary theory. He founded and edited the \"New Literary History Journal\", which was the first journal of its kind to combine the study of literature with other disciplines. It won more than six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for its special issues, a unique honor among scholarly journals.  Cohen sought out different points of view from contributors across the globe to create more diverse dialogue in the journal. His extraordinary ability to promote and account for diverse positions on theory at professional conferences was legendary. He also founded and directed the Commonwealth Center for Literary and Cultural Change at the University of Virginia (1988-1995). The Center was set up by the Virginia Council of Higher Education to study the concept of change in individuals, and institutions in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. It also viewed the changes that develop in cultural, social, and political situations in African, Asian, and other non-western societies. The \"New Literary History\" Journal published articles and activities of the Center. In 2010 Cohen became the Provost's Distinguished Professor at James Madison University where he taught courses on Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. Cohen's innovative concept of technology led to the establishment of the Cohen Center for the Study of Technological Humanism at James Madison University. His celebrated transactive classroom strategies frequently attracted colleagues and devoted students to his courses. He taught and mentored many generations of students, preparing them for lives and careers as teachers and scholars. He maintained contact with many of his students and made recommendations supporting their teaching, fellowships, and tenure positions throughout their careers. Cohen was a dedicated teacher who examined the changing concepts and styles found in literature and other disciplines of study. Cohen led his students towards deeper insights into understanding cultural changes for society and increased awareness of their perceptions in professional and daily life. Cohen was the editor and author of many articles and books including, \"The Art of Discrimination\" (1964), \"The Essential David Hume\" (1965), \"The Unfolding of 'The Season\" (1970),\"New Directions in Literary History\" (1974), \"Studies in Eighteenth-Century British Art and Aesthetics\" (1985), \"The Future of Literary Theory\" (1989), \"Studies in Historical Change\" (1992), \"History and...: Histories Within the Human Sciences\" (1995), and \"Literature and History\". He was well respected as an author and was best known for promoting the work of his colleagues through editing and publishing their articles.","He was married to Libby Okun Cohen for more than 70 years. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on July 11, 1913. Due to persecution, her family emigrated to Vilna (now Vilnius) early in her life. She was a frequent companion in Ralph's classes and at his speaking engagements around the world, intent both on supporting her husband and continuing her own education. She co-wrote the index of Volumes I-X for the \"New Literary History\". She was a librarian at California State College Northridge and created the library at the Tandem Friends School where she was the librarian from 1970 to 1986. Under her inspired and challenging guidance, the multifaceted library generated unprecedented dialogue and quickly became known as \"Tandem's Cultural Center. The Tandem library honored her by naming it the Libby O. Cohen Library. She also helped build the multicultural library at the University's Sundberg International Center. She spoke many languages and partnered with her husband as a promoter of education and multiculturalism.  James Madison University established the Libby Okun Cohen Chair in technological humanism while her husband was teaching there. She was also an author of children stories, an independent genealogy researcher, a project coordinator for an oral history project that interviewed survivors from Nazi Germany, and an intergenerational program L'Dor V'Dor for young students to learn and share in the lives of older individuals.  Ralph and Libby Cohen had two children, Ruth Cohen Morris, and David Cohen who were both born during World War II. Ruth Morris followed in her mother's footsteps by completing a doctorate in Information and Library Science at the University of Michigan, thereby initiating her career as a distinguished librarian. She was married to David B. Morris who co-taught some courses with Ralph Cohen.  Libby Cohen died at age 99 in 2013. Ralph Cohen also died at age 99 in 2016.","Sources:\nhttp://best-hashtags.com/hashtag/teacherappreciation/\nhttps://news.virginia.edu/content/memoriam-ralph-cohen-professor-who-transformed-literary-criticism-0\nhttps://muse.jhu.edu/article/380552/pdf\nhttps://dailyprogress.com/ralph-cohen/article_de380d0a-185c-510e-b74d-3a33511feed3.html\nhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/469184?seq=1\nhttps://www.jmu.edu/cohencenter/our-people/cohen-ralph.shtml\nhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/236774952_History_and_Change_An_Interview_with_Ralph_Cohen\nhttps://play.google.com/store/books/details/Genre_Theory_and_Historical_Change_Theoretical_Ess?id=0PsmDwAAQBAJ\u0026hl=sw\nhttps://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Ralph-Cohen/dp/0813940117\nRalph Cohen, \"Notes for a History\" (from within the collection)\nVideo interview: \nhttps://www.jmu.edu/news/2010/10/18-ralph-cohen.shtml"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eRG-24/54/1.151, Ralph Cohen papers and New Literary History records, Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia Library\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["RG-24/54/1.151, Ralph Cohen papers and New Literary History records, Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia Library"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains the teaching, research, and personal papers of Ralph Cohen, the William R.

He was born on September 15, 1920 in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Percy Waters (a journalist) and Elizabeth (Denman) Hammond. He was educated at the University of Mississippi (B. A. 1941) and took graduate studies in economics at the University of North Carolina (M. A. 1943). After serving in the Navy in the Pacific in World War II, he taught history at Emory University, and served as assistant professor of history at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Hammond then continued graduate work in Russian History Studies at Columbia University's Russian Institute (M. A. 1948, Ph. D., 1954).","It was then that he was recruited by the University of Virginia's Dumas Malone for the position of assistant professor in the department of History at UVA. He taught courses on Soviet history and Soviet foreign policy for the next forty two years, rising to full professor in 1963. He was recognized as the University of Virginia's first Russian specialist. His concerted efforts at expanding research and faculty involvement in his area of study led to his founding and directing a Center for Russian and Slavic Studies at the University in the mid-1960's. At that time, he also served as president of the Southern Conference of Slavic Studies (1964-1965) and, in later years, president of the Conference on Slavic and East European History (1982-1983). He held many fellowships, including the Fulbright, Guggenheim, Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller. He was a featured speaker at numerous scholarly conferences and he lectured at the Military Academy at West Point, the Naval War College, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute and at many local and state-wide civic and educational organizations. He did comprehensive research in his field of study on his many visits outside of the United States. He traveled extensively throughout the USSR and Eastern Europe during the period of the Cold war doing research at Moscow University and interviewing people in all walks of life. As a skillful photographer, he compiled a massive collection of photo slides, many of which he used to illustrate his lectures and some of which he incorporated in his articles written for the National Geographic Magazine in September, 1959, (\"A First Look at the Soviet Union\") and in March, 1966, (\"An American in Moscow.\") His publications appeared in journals, such as Foreign Affairs, Slavic Review, American History Review, Orbis, and Political Science Quarterly , and in numerous other journals in which he published over 100 book reviews. In 1976, he won a Phi Beta Kappa Prize for the best scholarly work by a faculty member at the University of Virginia for \"The Anatomy of Communist Takeovers,\" which he edited. His other books include: \"Yugoslavia Between East and West,\" \"Lenin on Trade Unions and Revolution,\" and \"Red Flag Over Afghanistan: The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and its Consequences.\" He was also editor of \"Soviet Foreign Relations and World Communism, A Selected, Annotated Bibliography of 7,000 Books in 30 Languages,\" and \"Witness to the Origins of the Cold War.\"","In addition to his scholarly work, Hammond was an active participant in university and department activities. He served on a multitude of committees including: Scholarship, Athletics, Non-Western Studies, Undergraduates, Foreign Students, Fulbright Fellowships, and Truman Scholarships. He served on the University President's Special Search Committees, was Secretary of the Academic Faculty for six years, and was a member of all of the Department of History Committees at one time or another.","During the critical civil rights period in the 1950's and 1960's, Hammond was a force in bringing about racial integration. With Paul Gaston, he helped found the Martin Luther King Chapter of the Council on Human Relations to recruit black students and faculty. This effort was also carried over into the local community where Hammond served as president of the Charlottesville Chapter of the Council on Human Relations. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the local branch of the NAACP, promoting social justice in local schools, parks, and other facilities.","On February 11, 1993, Hammond died from a stroke in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was survived by his wife, Nancy, his son, Thomas Kent, and his stepchildren, Andrea Fritch Parle, and Vernon Craig Fritch.","The purpose of this collection guide is to describe the most recently acquired part(s) of this collection.

He was born on September 15, 1920 in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Percy Waters (a journalist) and Elizabeth (Denman) Hammond. He was educated at the University of Mississippi (B. A. 1941) and took graduate studies in economics at the University of North Carolina (M. A. 1943). After serving in the Navy in the Pacific in World War II, he taught history at Emory University, and served as assistant professor of history at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Hammond then continued graduate work in Russian History Studies at Columbia University's Russian Institute (M. A. 1948, Ph. D., 1954).","It was then that he was recruited by the University of Virginia's Dumas Malone for the position of assistant professor in the department of History at UVA. He taught courses on Soviet history and Soviet foreign policy for the next forty two years, rising to full professor in 1963. He was recognized as the University of Virginia's first Russian specialist. His concerted efforts at expanding research and faculty involvement in his area of study led to his founding and directing a Center for Russian and Slavic Studies at the University in the mid-1960's. At that time, he also served as president of the Southern Conference of Slavic Studies (1964-1965) and, in later years, president of the Conference on Slavic and East European History (1982-1983). He held many fellowships, including the Fulbright, Guggenheim, Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller. He was a featured speaker at numerous scholarly conferences and he lectured at the Military Academy at West Point, the Naval War College, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute and at many local and state-wide civic and educational organizations. He did comprehensive research in his field of study on his many visits outside of the United States. He traveled extensively throughout the USSR and Eastern Europe during the period of the Cold war doing research at Moscow University and interviewing people in all walks of life. As a skillful photographer, he compiled a massive collection of photo slides, many of which he used to illustrate his lectures and some of which he incorporated in his articles written for the National Geographic Magazine in September, 1959, (\"A First Look at the Soviet Union\") and in March, 1966, (\"An American in Moscow.\") His publications appeared in journals, such as Foreign Affairs, Slavic Review, American History Review, Orbis, and Political Science Quarterly , and in numerous other journals in which he published over 100 book reviews. In 1976, he won a Phi Beta Kappa Prize for the best scholarly work by a faculty member at the University of Virginia for \"The Anatomy of Communist Takeovers,\" which he edited. His other books include: \"Yugoslavia Between East and West,\" \"Lenin on Trade Unions and Revolution,\" and \"Red Flag Over Afghanistan: The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and its Consequences.\" He was also editor of \"Soviet Foreign Relations and World Communism, A Selected, Annotated Bibliography of 7,000 Books in 30 Languages,\" and \"Witness to the Origins of the Cold War.\"","In addition to his scholarly work, Hammond was an active participant in university and department activities. He served on a multitude of committees including: Scholarship, Athletics, Non-Western Studies, Undergraduates, Foreign Students, Fulbright Fellowships, and Truman Scholarships. He served on the University President's Special Search Committees, was Secretary of the Academic Faculty for six years, and was a member of all of the Department of History Committees at one time or another.","During the critical civil rights period in the 1950's and 1960's, Hammond was a force in bringing about racial integration. With Paul Gaston, he helped found the Martin Luther King Chapter of the Council on Human Relations to recruit black students and faculty. This effort was also carried over into the local community where Hammond served as president of the Charlottesville Chapter of the Council on Human Relations. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the local branch of the NAACP, promoting social justice in local schools, parks, and other facilities.","On February 11, 1993, Hammond died from a stroke in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was survived by his wife, Nancy, his son, Thomas Kent, and his stepchildren, Andrea Fritch Parle, and Vernon Craig Fritch.","The purpose of this collection guide is to describe the most recently acquired part(s) of this collection. Boxes listed in this collection guide do not start with Box 1 because previous acquisitions are listed in the library catalog (Virgo) and/or Archival Resources of the Virginias (ARVAS).","Box numbering begins at 103. Staff counted all of the boxes in earlier additions and then continued numbering boxes after that total.","The records/guides for this collection's original acquisition and other previous additions can be found in VIRGO, the Library's online catalog, as well as (in many cases) on the Archival Resources of the Virginias (ARVAS) website.","For best results, search using the collection's Identifier/Call Number (MSS 12776).","This addition to MSS 12776, Thomas Hammond papers, contains twenty-two typed and handwritten letters between Thomas T. Hammond and Charles Evans, Hammond's advisee and Ph.D. student. The letters range from 1985 to 1993 and discuss advice Hammond had for Evans in completing his oral comps and his dissertation, searching for teaching positions, and his research work for Hammond and his odd jobs (such as mowing and painting) for Hammond and his wife, Nancy. Later letters mention Evan's girlfriend, Cynthia. Also included is a personal announcement of the death of Hammond from his wife, Nancy.","This collection contains some in-copyright material.
