    I would really prefer in order to you precisely how holistic and commercially made dog foods are various. Store bought dog foods contains fillers as well as by-products. These kind of natural pet food can be things wouldn't expect, (ready) bone fragments, unclean digestive tract, scalps, chicken beaks, as well as feet. The particular preservatives used are chemicals. Looking at the labels with your meals is probably standard for you, congratulations , you have to start reading the labels with your dog foodstuff. When the ingredients around the labels tend to be organic food for pets you may not even enunciate they are likely a chemical chemical. Holistic pet food only uses human grade products.

    Meaning they are really 100% healthy and natural. Commercial puppy chow companies possess lower holistic pet food compared to holistic brethren. You will this specific difference inside your dogs' health and fitness. Many homeowners report in which their dogs possess relief from pores and skin rashes, far more energy, with out allergic reactions. The reason being you will discover no additive or substances.

    Foxconn fanless nano PCs get priced, dated and tweaked

    Remember those Foxconn built nano PCs that surfaced back in May? The Shenzhen-based manufacturer recently made them official, detailing a few unexpected tweaks in a Russian language press release. Now decked out in a sleek black finish, the nettops will sport the same I/O, but one image courtesy of FanlessTech hints that DVI might be thrown into the mix despite lacking a mention in the official press release. The AT-5250 model won't be walking the Cedar Trail with an Atom D2700 as originally planned -- instead, its sights are set on a 1.86 GHz D2550. On the other hand, the AT-5600 will pack a Radeon HD 6320 alongside the anticipated AMD E450 APU. Surpassing their presumed sub-$200 price tag, they're set to ring up at $260 and $280, respectively, when they launch this September. Journey past the break for the translated press release.

    Travelling for business ? not all fun and games! | First Reference Talks

    How often do your employees travel? If your answer is: ?Not that often,? you may not have considered implementing a policy regarding travel. Certain types of jobs do not require workers to travel on a regular basis?for example, a bookkeeper, a process line worker, or a secretary?but how exactly do you define travelling? What do you consider travelling? Out of the province? Out of the city? Maybe even down the street? More importantly, you may be wondering, ?Will I be liable if something happens to that worker while they are travelling.? Do you know how the new changes to Ontario?s?Occupational Health and Safety Act affect work travel and your employees?

    As an employer, it is easy to focus on making sure your plant, office or facility are safe from violence or harassment, however it is important to take into account that a workplace is anywhere a worker is engaging in company business. As an employer, you are responsible for keeping workers safe from harm in their workplaces?wherever those workplaces might be. Let?s take a look at a few examples.

    First scenario

    An employer asks her secretary to go to the nearest copy shop and get some papers printed for a presentation. The secretary gladly accepts the request and heads out for the 10-minute drive. As he steps out of his car, he is shoved from behind and his wallet is taken from him. He did not carry a cellphone with him and could not immediately call for assistance from his co-workers or the authorities.

    Second scenario

    A controller is required to drive across the province to represent her company for a special industry convention. She gladly accepts and leaves for her trip after her work shift. The accountant drove through the night before deciding to stay at the nearest motel. In the middle of the night, she hears a knock on her door. Startled, the employee decides not to open the door for security reasons. Behind the door, a man threatens to break in. The controller picks up the motel?s phone to call security but there is no answer from the other end. The man behind the door eventually disappears.

    The recent changes to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which address violence and harassment have put an added onus on the employer to ensure that their employees are safe from violence or harassment while in the workplace, wherever that workplace might be. Policies and procedures have to be documented and communicated to employees regularly to ensure they understand how to summon assistance or report an incident.

    Looking at the first scenario, the secretary should have been able to contact the authorities immediately had an incident occurred; the employer could provide a business cellphone or a co-worker could lend their personal phone. With regard to the second scenario, the controller had nobody to contact as she was being verbally harassed by a stranger. The employer could have researched the accommodations to ensure that workers who are required to stay overnight are in a secure location.

    It is easy to forget about those employees who don?t travel every day. It is essential to account for everyone in your workplace, to ensure they are safe from violence and harassment. It is impossible to prevent every incident, but you can reduce the risk by establishing the proper policies and procedures and ensuring those are communicated to your staff on a regular basis!

    Money, Cash, Jobs

    By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone ) and AMY WALTER ( @amyewalter )

    NOTABLES:

    BREAKING: ECONOMY 'STILL RUNNING IN PLACE': The U.S. economy added 80,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.2 percent, ABC's Susanna Kim and Bill McGuire report. Economists expected that employers would add around 90,000 jobs in June, higher than the 69,000 jobs added in May, but lower than what is needed for a full economic recovery from the last recession that began with the mortgage meltdown in 2008. With a current unemployment rate of 8.2 percent and 12.7 million unemployed persons in the country, Scott Brown, chief economist with Raymond James, said 125,000 to 130,000 added jobs are needed just to absorb the growth from the working-age population. "At this point we're still running in place, growing just enough to absorb growth in the population but not enough to recover those job market losses during the downturn," Brown said. http://abcn.ws/MF7m83

    POTUS ON THE ROAD: From ABC's Mary Bruce: President Obama wakes up in Akron, Ohio for the second day of his campaign bus tour. This morning the president tours Summer Garden Food Manufacturing in Boardman, before delivering remarks at an event at an elementary school in Poland. In the afternoon, he heads to Pittsburgh for an event at Carnegie Mellon. The president returns to the White House later this afternoon and holds an event in the East Room with construction workers and college students to sign the transportation and student loan interest rate bill. At 6 p.m. the president is scheduled to depart for Camp David.

    THIS WEEK ON "THIS WEEK": GOVS. MARTIN O'MALLEY AND BOBBY JINDAL DEBATE. This Sunday, Obama supporter and Democratic Governors Association chair Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., squares off in a "This Week" debate with Romney supporter and potential vice presidential nominee Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., on the new jobs report and the state of the economy, fallout from the Supreme Court's health care decision, and the latest in the 2012 presidential contest. Plus, the powerhouse roundtable debates all the week's politics, with ABC News' George Will, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, PBS' "Washington Week" moderator and managing editor Gwen Ifill, and former Counselor to the Treasury Secretary and Lead Auto Adviser Steven Rattner. "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran guest anchors this weekend. http://abcnews.go.com/thisweek

    THE NOTE:

    With this morning's stagnant jobs picture - the country only added about 80,000 jobs during the month of June - President Obama won't get the bragging rights he was hoping for.

    Look for Obama, who is on his second and final day of a swing-state bus tour through Ohio and Pennsylvania, to talk about how there's much more work to do.

    Meanwhile, the Romney campaign gets to leave health care messaging purgatory and get back to their main message. Look for Mitt Romney, who is on vacation at his lakeside retreat in New Hampshire this week, as well as Republicans leaders to cast the new jobs data as another sign the president's time is up.

    After the May employment report, which showed that the economy added a weaker-than-expected 69,000 jobs, it took the Romney campaign only about a half-hour to blast out a statement calling it "devastating news for American workers and American families."

    And despite the past week's war of words over whether Obamacare's individual mandate represents a "tax" or "penalty," it's this morning's numbers and the ones that will be announced each month between now and November that are still likely to weigh far more heavily on the minds of voters on Election Day.

    Why?

    "I don't know whether it is because American voters are myopic, or because they are forward-looking," Andrew Gelman, the director of the Applied Statistics Center at Columbia University, told The New York Times' Annie Lowrey and John Harwood. "But they appear to care most about change in the economy in the year preceding the election."

    Lowrey and Harwood note: "Analysts say voters give more heed to where the economy is headed than to its current state. That means a president overseeing a high but falling unemployment rate might have a better shot than a president overseeing a lower but increasing one." http://nyti.ms/L4qrz7

    FLASHBACK: ROMNEY ON MASSACHUSETTS JOBS NUMBERS: 'A LOT OF IT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.' The researchers at the Democratic super PAC American Bridge 21st Century have done another deep dive into the Massachusetts archives and unearthed this clip of Mitt Romney at a June 24, 2006 press conference talking about jobs numbers in the state. "Today when the new round of jobs numbers come out, the Romney campaign will resort to their typical criticism that the President is not doing enough to create jobs, not taking into account the deep recession the President inherited," according to an American Bridge statement accompanying the video. "In the clip below ?. you will see Romney claiming that he shouldn't be held responsible for the jobs lost during the early parts of his administration."

    ROMNEY: "You guys are bright enough to look at the numbers. I came in and the jobs had been just falling right off a cliff, I came in and they kept falling for 11 months. And then we turned around and we're coming back and that's progress. And if you are going to suggest to me that somehow the day I got elected, somehow jobs should have immediately turned around, well that would be silly. It takes awhile to get things turned around. We were in a recession; we were losing jobs every month. We've turned around and since the turnaround we've added 50,000 jobs. That's progress. ? A lot of it is outside of our control, it's federal, it's international, it's private sector." WATCH: http://bit.ly/MDayku

    MITT ROMNEY'S $100 MILLION MONTH . June was a big month for Mitt Romney's fundraising, as his campaign took in $100 million in June combined with the Republican National Committee and the joint fundraising operation Romney Victory Fund, the Associated Press confirmed on Thursday. http://wapo.st/ OdqWDD

    It's a big number, ABC's Chris Good notes, coming on the heels of the Supreme Court's health-care decision, and coming after Romney and the RNC outraised President Obama and the Democratic National Committee in May. But it falls short of the president's biggest month, September 2008, when Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Committee reported taking in a combined $192 million.

    Comparing June totals, Romney far outpaced the money being raised at this time in 2008. In June of that year, John McCain and the RNC reported taking in a combined $48 million, while Obama and the DNC combined for $62 million.

    STRATEGISTS ON ROMNEY'S VERBAL GYMNASTICS. ABC's Amy Walter reports: A lot of folks, ranging from Rupert Murdoch to Bill Kristol have weighed in on Mitt Romney's awkward dance on the Supreme Court's health care reform decision. But, we wanted to get the opinion of campaign professionals - the people who live and work in the political trenches every day - for their take on both the Romney campaign flub and the handwringing among some in the GOP establishment. Their bottom line: Yes, the Romney campaign mishandled this whole Obamacare tax debate, but ultimately, it doesn't suggest that Team Romney or the campaign strategy needs to be shaken-up.

    A former communications director in House Leadership: "It is curious that, at a time when every Republican in the country is hitting the President for a tax increase on the middle class and those who can't afford health insurance, the party's nominee is NOT taking that opportunity. I don't subscribe to the theory that this misstep - and it is a misstep - takes the issue off the table for Senate or House candidates. They'll be running against their opponent for supporting a health care law that increases taxes on the middle class and the working poor."

    Jon McHenry, Vice President of North Star Opinion Research: "The base is going to be fired up to vote out Obama, regardless of any of this. But I suspect Republicans would be happier if we were all singing off the same sheet of music to talk to the independents."

    Former communication director in House leadership: "It is group over think to worry about the MA law and what it means. People don't care about the Massachusetts health law. They do, however, care that ObamaCare is a new middle class tax, that it will raise their health costs, and they may have to give up their current care even if they like it. There's always tactical concerns, but it's the man in the arena who has to make those calls, as Roosevelt noted. In this case, I agree with the WSJ's concern - but the ship has turned, smartly so on July 4 when no one was paying attention. "

    Jon Lerner, founder and principal of Red Sea and Basswood Research: "The criticism of Romney is way overblown. I think the campaign made a mistake in getting into the semantics about whether the health care mandate was a tax. They are a bit excessively concerned about shielding the Massachusetts record, which was a big deal in the primaries, but is really little relevant now. They should have just called it a tax straight away. But they got to that point after a few days. And in the scheme of things, it doesn't matter anyway. What matters is that Obama is the pro-Obamacare candidate, and Romney is the anti-Obamacare candidate, and that's crystal clear to everyone, even with a small misstep by the Romney campaign."

    NOTE IT!

    ABC's RICK KLEIN: Implicit in President Obama's "Betting on America" slogan is that the other guy is taking odds on the other side of the ledger. That may be a stretch in defining a guy with the perfect family who knows the obscure verses of "America the Beautiful," but it won't be if Democrats' dual messages break through. The main storylines Obama aides are pushing - Romney's offshore bank accounts, and Bain's outsourcing of jobs overseas - both are meant to suggest that the president is the candidate on the side of American workers. If that message penetrates, the Obama bus tour that took place while Romney vacationed will be memorable.

    OBAMA'S BUS TOUR: HOW'S IT PLAYING?

    FRONT-PAGE HEADLINES from Ohio:

    Sandusky Register: "Obama: Education is Key" ? "President stops at Kosy Corners, Bergman Orchards"

    The Toledo Blade: "Obama's Maumee Rally Ups Ante on Ohio Tour ? Bus visits directed at middle-class voters"

    The Cleveland Plain Dealer: "Obama Campaign Bus Winds Way Across Ohio, With Frequent Stops ? From Maumee to Parma, contrast is is theme"

    Akron Beacon Journal: "Republicans Give Scoop on Romney ? Campaign bus stops at Falls ice cream stand; Jindal, Pawlenty meet local politicians, chat with customers" ? "Obama Says He Stands With Ohio Communities ? Bus tour starts day before key jobless report is due; leader notes gains in state"

    OBAMA JABS AT ROMNEY OVER HEALTH CARE. ABC's Jake Tapper points out that in an interview with Cincinnati's NBC TV affiliate WLWT, Obama went on the attack. "On the health care bill, Mr. Romney was one of the biggest promoters of the individual mandate in Massachusetts," the president said. "His whole idea was we shouldn't have people who can afford to get health insurance to not buy it and then force you or me to pay for it when he gets sick. That's irresponsible. That's exactly what's included as part of my health care plan." http://abcn.ws/Odie8p

    A WELL-ORCHESTRATED TOUR. From the Toledo Blade's Tom Troy: "[T]he Obama bus tour, skillfully executed by an army of operatives, aided by Secret Service agents and local and state police and sheriff's departments, will be a high bar to match for Mr. Romney, who is also competing to carry Ohio, considered by many to be the most important battleground state in the country because of its history of picking the winner since 1964." http://bit.ly/L5CyvX

    OBAMA'S FOCUS: MIDDLE-CLASS ECONOMY. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Henry J. Gomez: "Obama presented himself as a president who has invested in working Americans, citing his support of the federal loans to Chrysler and General Motors. The U.S. auto industry's subsequent rebound has been key across northern Ohio's car manufacturing belt between Toledo and Youngstown." http://bit.ly/M8JJ2F

    VIDEO: ORLANDO PACE INTRODUCES OBAMA. The Sandusky Register reports on 13-year NFL tackle Orlando Pace, who went to two Super Bowls with the St. Louis Rams: "[F]or this Sandusky native, chatting with the president ranks right up there with winning a Super Bowl and being selected as the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1997. ? 'It's a once-in-a-lifetime moment,' Pace said in an exclusive interview with the Register." After Pace's introduction, Obama said, "Let me first of all say that Orlando makes me feel real small. I want him blocking for me every time." http://bit.ly/N26NRo

    PHYSICAL CONFRONTATION AS PAWLENTY SPEAKS. The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Brandon Blackwell reports on a clash between a Romney supporter and a protester: "'Pawlenty go home, Pawlenty go home,' the protesters chanted over the former governor's speech. ? Romney supporter Richard Brysac of Parma confronted protester Al Neal of Canton, who attended with members of a group called Fight for Fair Economy Ohio. Brysac, 77, attempted to hush Neal by emptying a bottle of water into the 25-year-old union worker's mouth. ? When the bottle didn't work, Brysac pulled out his handkerchief and gagged Neal. Neal removed the handkerchief and continued chanting until the group of protesters was escorted from the rally." http://bit.ly/L5E2Gs

    ABC VIDEO: ROMNEY VACATIONS, OBAMA CAMPAIGNS. ABC's Jake Tapper reports on President Obama's bus tour through Democratic strongholds in northern Ohio: The president is accusing Mitt Romney of not caring about working Americans and the middle class ? others in the Obama campaign, discussing wealth Romney has invested overseas in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, painted an even more nefarious picture of the presumptive Republican nominee. ? and these new Obama attacks come at the same time that Mitt Romney is being assailed by Republicans. http://abcn.ws/MEM3TW

ABC's Mary Bruce reports: President Obama is highlighting his modest family background as he travels throughout Northern Ohio ? the president is discussing everyone from his grandfather, who "fought in Patton's army" and was able to "study on the GI Bill," to his grandmother, who helped raise him, to his wife's father, "a blue-collar worker," and her stay at home mother. http://abcn.ws/RqHWtv

    BRAD PITT'S MOM HEARTS ROMNEY (GAYS AND ABORTION, NOT SO MUCH). ABC's Elicia Dover reports that the Springfield (Missouri) News-Leader has verified this letter to the editor was written by the actor's mother: "[A]ny Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon. ? Barack Hussein Obama ? sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage." http://sgfnow.co/N42bMi

    NEW ABC/YAHOO VIDEO: WHAT DC INTERNS REALLY DO ON THE HILL. In the latest installment of "Politically Foul," ABC's Amy Walter flags Rep. Loretta Sanchez's intern-driven "Call Me Maybe" video, Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel's yearbook crossdressing, and calls fair on New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's foul language. http://yhoo.it/NsavEp

    VEEPSTAKES OLYMPICS. ABC's Shushannah Walshe reports on campaign-trail tryouts in Ohio: Driving around Ohio Thursday in a Romney for President bus (no mountain biking here), [Louisiana Gov. Bobby] Jindal and [former Minnesota governor Tim] Pawlenty campaigned on Romney's behalf as he spends time with his family (think: Olympic water sports) and undoubtedly listens to the very loud criticism coming from the Wall Street Journal ? On a conference call only for conservative reporters, Jindal and Pawlenty came to Romney's rescue. Jindal said the president is "engaged in class warfare, divide-and-blame rhetoric, because he simply can't run on his record," according to the National Review. http://abcn.ws/MNZOz0

    AXELROD: ROMNEY IS THE 'MOST SECRETIVE CANDIDATE SINCE NIXON.' ABC's Ann Compton reports: Senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod today accused Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney of being "the most secretive candidate that we've seen, frankly, since Richard Nixon." He "won't release his tax returns, won't reveal his bundlers, left Massachusetts with the hard drives from his computer. He believes in keeping the public in the dark," Axelrod said in an interview with ABC News Radio at the first stop on Obama's campaign bus tour through Ohio. http://abcn.ws/N49X8J

    OBAMA CHALLENGED TO ARM-WRESTLE FOR VOTE. ABC's Mary Bruce reports on Obama's stop with former Ohio governor Ted Strickland at Ziggy's Pub and Restaurant in Parma, Ohio: After speaking with several diners about issues ranging from education to support for veterans, he met Jeff Hawks, who had a unique proposition for him.?

    OBAMA'S RIDE: GROUND-FORCE ONE. ABC's Devin Dwyer reports: The jet-black armored motor coach ferrying President Obama from Air Force One in Toledo, across northern Ohio and into Pennsylvania, got an upgrade for its first trip of the 2012 campaign: a large colorful presidential seal emblazoned on its side. ?

    GOP'S SWING-STATE FIRE DRILL. USA Today's Martha T. Moore reports: "Mitt Romney's campaign is pretending Saturday is the day before Election Day. Romney volunteers will canvass in swing states on Saturday. In the first of a series of massive volunteer mobilization efforts, the campaign and the Republican Party will undertake "Super Saturday," a day when GOP volunteers call and canvass hundreds of thousands of swing-state voters, just as they will before Nov. 6. The goal is not just to know which voters are on board with Romney, but to test the presidential campaign's ability to turn out the vote - something the GOP struggled with in 2008." http://usat.ly/LtF5l3

    ROMNEY CAMPAIGN PLANNING FOREIGN-POLICY TOUR. From Politico's Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin: "The tentative plan being discussed internally would have Romney begin his roll-out with a news-making address at the VFW convention later this month in Reno, Nev. The presumptive GOP nominee then is slated to travel to London for the start of the Olympics and to give a speech in Great Britain on U.S. foreign policy. Romney next would fly to Israel for a series of meetings and appearances with key Israeli and Palestinian officials. Then, under the plan being considered, he would return to Europe for a stop in Germany and a public address in Poland, a steadfast American ally during the Bush years and a country that shares Romney's wariness toward Russia. Romney officials had considered a stop in Afghanistan on the journey, but that's now unlikely." http://politi.co/NaoSuV

    HOUSE REPUBLICANS PLANNING 'OBAMACARE' REPEAL. House Republicans have tried to repeal health reform before, and Politico now reports: "House Republicans are moving forward with plans for a new attempt to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law.

    TWO STATES LEFT BEHIND. The AP's Donna Gordon Blankinship reports: "The U.S. Department of Education is announcing that Washington and Wisconsin have won their bid to be relieved of some requirements of the federal 'No Child Left Behind' law. The two states are joining 24 other states that have earned waivers from the federal education law. Washington state education officials confirmed their state's waiver. The Wisconsin waiver was reported by The New York Times. " http://abcn.ws/M4lB6z

    LEAHY TO BE IN 'BATMAN,' AGAIN. The Washington Post's Reliable Source column reports: "Remember the last time, when [Leahy] actually traded dialogue with Heath Ledger as the Joker in 2008's "The Dark Knight"? ? the right people must have been impressed, because they gave the lifelong 'Batman' fanatic another speaking role. His spokeswoman, Carolyn Dwyer, would give us no spoilers other than that it's in a scene filmed last summer with stars Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman." http://wapo.st/N2lELC

    N.Y. LAWMAKER CANCELS LADY-ETIQUETTE CLASS. From CBS and the AP: "A New York state lawmaker has canceled a feminine etiquette class after it incited outcry from his colleagues and constituents. Republican Sen. Marty Golden's website advertised a July 24 class that would teach women from his Brooklyn district to 'sit, stand and walk like a model' and how to 'walk up and down a stair elegantly,' according to CBS Station WCBS. Other goals of the 'Polished Professional' summer series were to teach women "posture, deportment and the feminine presence'?" http://cbsn.ws/LtI9h9

The Vice President has been a strong advocate for justice and equality throughout his career as a public servant."

    -PLANNED PARENTHOOD PROTESTS BOB MCDONNELL: A statement from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund: "In response to Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell being named chair of the platform committee for the Republican National Convention in Tampa next month, Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, issued the following statement: 'This selection is a huge red flag for America's women. Governor McDonnell has a deeply troubling record on women's health, including his notorious mandatory ultrasound law that sparked national outrage. ? In the past year alone, Governor McDonnell has shown time and again that he does not share the concerns, priorities, or values of American women.'"

    WHO'S TWEETING?

    @newtgingrich : Taxation without representation led to the American Revolution-taxation with MISrepresentation should be a central theme of this election

    @shearm : @mittromney made it clear in 2006 that the tax code would serve as the vehicle for the penalty part of his mandate. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/06/us/politics/in-defending-his-health-care-plan-romney-often-called-its-mandate-a-tax.html

    @mattklewis : My position on Romney hasn't changed. He will run a safe, competent campaign. He can raise $. He will not be exciting or inspiring.

    @lrozen : In '08, candidate Obama traveled to Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, West Bank, Germany, France and UK.

    @HotlineReid : Romney, RNC opening 4 offices in New Mexico. Outside GOP groups have spent a little money there, but none of the major players #HotlineSort

    English Department | Davidson College Archives & Special ...

    A sample of the 1922-1923 English Curriculum

    When Davidson College was founded in 1837, English was not a formal part of the curriculum. In 1855, the college created a professorship in Belles Lettres with a focus on composition rather than the teaching of literature. Victor Barringer was elected the first Troy Professor of Belle Lettres in 1860 but? soon went on leave to serve in the Confederate Army until 1865. The Rev. John Anderson replaced Barringer, teaching English from 1866 to 1874.? He was replaced by the Rev. Andrew Hepburn, who would serve as both college president and English professor from 1875 to 1885.? English expanded within the curriculum with the appointment of William Currell in 1886.? Still, it was not until 1920, that the college had 2 faculty teaching English classes. Edwin Shewmake and? Edward Erwin were assisted by part-time instructors in public speaking.

    English had the highest enrollment of any department in 1925. Prof. Erwin, a Davidson alumnus, was also instrumental in establishing a student theatre group.? By 1930, the department had grown to 4.5 faculty, sharing one professor with Latin. The department grew to 6 professors in the 1950s and 9 by 1964. The McGee Visiting Professorship of Creative Writing was added in 1989 and? by 1996, there 12 faculty in the department, expanding again to 16. As of 2012, the English Department is one of the largest departments on campus with 18 full-time faculty in addition to the McGee Professor of Writing.

    Currently the English department not only supports its majors, but oversees the campus Writing Center and Film and Media Studies Concentration. In addition, the English department is instrumental in organizing a robust lecture series. the Davidson Literary Calender, every year.

    The English Department sees itself as integral to the Liberal Arts mission of Davidson College. According to the English Department?s mission statement: ?The English major encourages intellectual independence by stressing creative, critical thinking combined with informed reading and interpretation made evident in clear speech and writing.? Members of the Department seek to teach language and literature from a range of perspectives.? Approaches include close reading of texts, performing texts, identifying historical and theoretical contexts ? all strategies of reading that find their parallels in creative and expository writing.? Small classes and various opportunities for independent study, including a senior honors program, are designed to engage professor and students in a lively intellectual exchange.? The program provides graduates with a depth and breadth of literary knowledge while teaching them to explore problems creatively, to be sensitive to life?s diversity, and to read the world critically and thoughtfully.?
