Daredevils of the Confederate Army

by Oscar A. Kinchen, ChristopherPublishing House.

T . BENNETT YOUNG ' S comic opera raidon St . Albans, Vermont, is so typically

Confederate that it's a pity more importancecan't be attached to it. At the time, Young'smission and his trials raised more furorthan the actions of any American service-man-with the possible exception of Gen-eral Sherman . Commissioned late in thewar to divert Union troops from the frontlines by raids from the Canadian border,Young managed only one raid-on St . Al-bans-and spent the rest of the war in aCanadian courtroom proving to the Cana-dians' satisfaction and to the Union law-yer's chagrin that holding up a few banksand burning down a few buildings in Ver-mont is every bit as legal when done by aConfederate as tearing down Tara in Geor-gia when it's done by a Yankee (excuse me-damyankee) .

Little besides Yankee legal talent was di-verted northward, despite the terror of thenorth-border folks ; and Young and thesympathetic Canadians whipped that easilyenough with southern-fried rhetoric . Yearslater, Young-the first man to raise theConfederate flag in Jassamine County,Kentucky-changed from a courtly fanaticto a businessman-author (his best knownwork: Confederate Wizards o f the Saddle)and his demeanor became so conservativethat latter-day St . Albanians invited him tospeak at an anniversary ceremony . Em-bittered and vocal Old Guard prompted themellowed Kentuckian to decline, however .Oscar Kinchen's ('16ba, '20ma) chronicle

of this Confederate golden boy is excellentfor its scholarship, less excellent for itsstyle-which often smacks of the hundredsof magnolia-scented books Professor Kin-must have pored through-but even theeuphemisms seem to make this amusingstory more delectable .RECOMMENDED : Civil War enthusiasts

will find this a tasty morsel to help sate their100th-anniversary appetites .

Miss Elizabeth Mary Ryan, '59, Fort Sill, andWarren H . Dunnington, '59, Norman, were mar-ried March 31 in the New Post Chapel, Fort Sill .The couple is living in Norman, where Dunning-ton is a senior at O.U .

Miss Alice Ellen Davis, Denton, Texas, andGerald Hamer Mangold, '59bs, Enid, were mar-ried April 4 in the First Christian Church, Denton .

SUCCESS STORY

surveying . Still, at the end of the first se-mester, thirty additional students hadjoined the original eleven in the tough cur-riculum, and Dean Brown reported he hadreceived "hundreds" of inquiries about thecurriculum from throughout the petroleumbelt .

The curriculum was made broad andtough for a reason . Half-breeds in the oilbusiness, landmen must be as ready to servetheir companies in engineering, geological,and public relations discussions as in theirmost widely known function, acquiringdrilling rights . Setting up a curriculum toplease both these profession-conscious butbroadly-trained men as well as the Ameri-can Association of Collegiate Schools ofBusiness (the accrediting agency) was nosimple matter .

The main bone of contention betweeneducators and landmen when the formerwere approached by the latter early in 1955was that of specialization vs . general edu-cation . The former was impossible unlessa new chair could be endowed at O.U. Itwas also unnecessary in Dean Brown'seyes . . .

After a widely-attended extension divi-sion short course for landmen convincedlandmen and educators alike that a curricu-lum must be agreed upon, Dean Brown pre-sented the substance of the present curricu-lum to Continental landman Phil McGow-an and Cal-Ray Petroleum president Wil-liam Majors . McGowan was chairman ofthe national association's education com-mittee, and Majors was chairman of the lo-cal organization's education committee.Both men liked what Brown proposed .Liked is hardly the word . The support

given the curriculum by these two men andtheir associates is nothing short of phenom-enal . Three O.U . landman majors are at-tending classes drawing on a $2,750 schol-arship fund which McGowan raised from22 local chapters of the Association . Andmost impressive, six landmen have joinedtogether in a committee to find summertraining jobs for O.U . landman majors .Toward the end of his report to the

A.A.P.L . convention, Dean Brown respond-ed to the landmen's 1958 resolution by pre-senting appreciation citations to McGowanand Majors for their efforts in establishingthe nation's first curriculum in petroleumland management at O.U. It was an expres-sion of what promises to be one of the mostadmirable of mutual admiration societies .
