Central College

Resumen del Libro

The area of Amalthea, better known as Central College, was platted by Timothy Lee in 1816. Situated three miles southeast of Westerville, Central College was built along Big Walnut Creek. A college known as the Blendon Institute was formed in 1832. In 1842, the institute was given to the Presbyterian church to form the Central College of Ohio. However, due to financial struggles, the school--later known as Central College Academy--closed in 1894. The Ohio School for the Deaf Alumni Association purchased the defunct school property and created the Ohio Home for the Aged and Infirm Deaf; it was the first home of its kind in the state. The village of Central College filled with excitement when the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon and Delaware Railroad was slated to pass though town in 1873. However, the railroad announced that it would instead pass though Westerville, and because of the lack of public transportation though Central College, the town failed to grow.

Luchas obreras y campesinas en la Andalucia del siglo XX

Los trabajos reunidos en la colección HISTORIA DE LOS MOVI. MIENTOS SOCIALES tienen un protagonista: las masas. El análisis de los movimientos sociales ha impulsado el desarrollo de una disciplina -la historia social- ritualmente invocada, a partir de 1930, como parte de la «historia económica y social». Esta rama histórica se ha convertido en campo privilegiado de convergencia de la antropología, la sociología y la historia. Su metodología ofrece la variedad y amplitud propias de una disciplina en rápida gestación, nutrida por polémicas fructíferas. Los dos ensayos que componen...
