Raising Money for History
By Courtney Beckwith
Southern history professors and students are working together to raise $25,000 in two months for the Floyd Greenleaf Travel Research Endowment Fund. This fund will allow students to complete original Civil War research for their baccalaureate thesis.
Professor Floyd Greenleaf ('55), former chair of the History Department and vice president for Academic Administration worked for Southern for more than 30 years before retiring. He donated money towards this grant and set the ball in motion.
This fund will enable students to travel to archives and conferences as well as purchase materials that they wouldn't have the money for otherwise. "It's a great idea," said Jason Dedeker, a senior history and pre-med major. "What we have on campus is primary and secondary works from the Civil War, but this grant will allow students to research more deeply into their topics."
