that george washington patronized washington college so much that he was trying to erase this stigma that followed him. you would think founding the nation of the united states would erase any stigma that was there, but, ron, i won't question your scholarship. so washington was among the largest donors to our school when it opened to 1782 as the first college chartered in the independent united states. and he also served as one of our original trustees. several of his present-day successors are here with us this evening and i would like to recognize them. would all of the current and former members of the board please rise to be recognized. [ applause ] founding idea was an innovative one. it was that they would take this ancient tradition of the liberal arts and adapt to the values and necessities of the young american republic teaching not just classical literature and philosophy, but american history. you may wonder what american history there was to teach in 1782, but we'll let that go.

he was in washington and considering a run for office. mary thought jack was too green, too untested for the presidency. she was an ardent at least evenson supporter, and she thought that kennedy might get there but she thought it was perhaps too soon to fast but by the time he actually did announce a run, she became quite a solid supporter. he was the kind of politician that her father growing up in boston had always hoped to see, boston politicians when mary was growing up were florid to say the least. mayor curley soared one of his terms while doing some time in a boston jail. this was the politics that mary had kind of got to know and loved. jack kennedy was articulate, quick honesty, incredibly literate. he mixed that kind of hard-nosed, backroom austin politics with a sense of higher calling, and she really saw that as an enormous accomplishment. accomplishment. >> was at the 1960 campaign that won her over or was it after that? >> it was a 60 campaign and i think was in the run up to the 60 campaign when they had a lot of back and

i've run into any number of people, folks who had moved over to "the washington post" from the washington star at some point in their career, and as a result, mary didn't talk to them for a year or two years or got mad at them at a cocktail party and, god darn it, leaving the star was an unforgivable sin in mary's eyes. you know, so she held a grudge, you know? i think one of the really interesting things about mary's columns about bobby after he died, they weren't sentimental, they weren't nostalgic. they were very honest about the very difficult place that bobby had been in as a person dealing with his brother's death, with vietnam and with his family. >> and briefly on teddy kennedy, that was also a different kind of a relationship. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, i think that they were very close, and mary would go up there in teddy's office, and they would have a scotch and talk politics. but, you know, i think mary also disapproved of teddy on some levels. that his personal life had been at times quite messy, as everybody in this town knows. she didn't like the drinking and carousing.

nation, weeping with the news that washington died. but heaven resounds with the news that jefferson lived. in the musical logic of the day, sounds of joy produced feelings of joy. a version of "god save great washington" made a similar appeal to the power of sound and song. colombians all rejoiced, and with a cheerful voice, welcomedca this day. americans would experience patriotism and harmony as they sang. so would singers of "hail columbia" feel like a band of brothers. equally would columbia's sons rejoice as they rejoiced. or so the organizers of july 4 celebrations could imagine. thanks to their consumption of euro-american print culture, leaders were primed to understand harmony as a token of the goodness of the world. they were ready to imagine music as a uniquely forceful means of communication. they had reason to believe their supporters would feel the political harmony so boldly proclaimed in songs. listening to guns, joining in toasts, and singing a few songs a couple times a year did not cure the wounds of party. the powe

washington made it clear that his slaves, washington's slaves would be free. most of the of the slaves at mount vernon were owned by martha and brought to the marriage from her former union. martha was not at all happy about freeing slaves. she did not think that was a good idea. so there is some evidence that she was a little grumpy about her dead husband doing this which she had not done. i'm sorry, i don't know that she freed her slaves later but i can't comment knowledgeably about that. >> professor, i have read your wonderful book. >> thank you. >> there so many things in it in addition to what you've talked to tonight. one thing i don't remember you covering is that he was gone for a significant period of time on these trips, while the pace of government is different than it is today, did anything go wrong or did anything happen that he had to fix when he got back? >> is a question i thought about because it seemed to me that raises a very difficult issue of constitutional law that to mine knowledge no one has thought about. when washington left on his l
