”Two members of the department received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in June, 1908, Douglas S. Freeman and Sedley L. Ware. Dr. Freeman’s dissertation on “The Attitude of Political Parties in Virginia to Slavery and to Secession, 18461861,” is but part of a larger and more extended investigation. That of Dr. Ware, which has been published in the twenty-sixth series of the Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science, is also but the beginning of a larger study designed to treat of the parish under Elizabeth and the Stuarts.”
