[Translation] The Lodge of St. John of Jerusalem to the Grand Lodge of New York. Excellent and Illustrious Brothers: At the sound of the sad news that has filled the world, the hearts of all French masons were filled with grief. They shed tears of sympathy for the glorious death of one who had handled the hammer, square, and compass, the living insignia of our immortal society, and then arose to the head of the American people by his genius, his virtues, and his spotless life. The holiest causes have always had their martyrs, as a necessary kind of consecration; and Abraham Lincoln is one of these, the noblest victim of his duty. This lodge mingles its regrets with the other lodges of French free masonry. It does not forget that if all people are brothers, those of France and America are more so than any others; and we hope this will give supreme consolation to the soul of Abraham Lincoln. No, a villain’s crime cannot destroy the immortal work of the great citizen. A final peace and the abolishment of slavery—the just fruits of his glorious acts, a worthy recompense of his martyrdom—will show the world once more what the devotion of a noble heart can do against the fanaticism of ignorance.

(Ulysses Simpson), 1822-1885 Armed Forces--Officers United States. Army Presidents American Civil War (1861-1865) Description An account of the resource Ulysses S. Grant was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio, in 1822. He attended West Point and served in the Mexican-American War under General Zachary Taylor. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Illinois Governor Richard Yates appointed Grant to command a volunteer regiment. Following his success with the regiment, Grant rose to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. After his victory at Fort Donelson in 1862, President Lincoln named Grant to major general of volunteers. Lincoln appointed Grant as General in Chief of the United States Army in 1864, leading the United States to a successful end of the Civil War. Following the Civil War, Grant led the military's efforts during Reconstruction. Grant was elected President of the United States in 1868 and won re-election four years later. While in office Grant worked to unite the North and South while facing the rise of groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and increasing attacks on African Americans. Grant's administration was marred by financial scandals. After leaving office, Grant was a partner in an unsuccessful investment firm which failed after one partner stole the firm's investors money. Grant then negotiated a book deal to write his memoirs. Shortly after beginning to write, he was diganosed with cancer of the throat. Grant accelerated his writing process, completing his memoirs two months before dying. Photographs in this collection include portraits of Grant, images of several buildings he lived in during his lifetime, and images of his funeral in New York City.

Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.
