| Volume Thirty-Three | 1990-1991 | |
This year's editorial board is pleased to present another volume of essays written by University of Virginia graduate and undergraduate students. These articles, based on original research in primary sources, originated as papers in seminars in the history department. Two of the selections were developed into masters theses and one served as an undergraduate senior thesis. The editorial board, a group of graduate history students who volunteer their time and services, welcomes contributions for future volumes, and submissions are not restricted to history students.
This journal would not be possible without the continuing generosity of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, Inc., and the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. Their kindness and support over the years is especially appreciated by the current members of the board. For the second year now we have depended on the able assistance of two special persons. Ms. Mary B. Farrer, of the Carter Woodson Institute, once again provided indispensable help in preparing our journal for the printer. Our faculty advisor, Mr. Edward L. Ayers, of the Corcoran Department of History, eagerly offered suggestions and guidance. The members of the board offer their sincere thanks to each for their kindness and support. Finally, board member and last years editor, Mr. R. Carey Goodman, III, deserves a special note of thanks for his extra devotion of time and energy.

The students and faculty of the history department were shocked and saddened by the sudden death last October of graduate student George Malcolm Reynolds, in Vienna, Austria, where he was conducting research for his dissertation on an Academic Enhancement Program Fellowship. He had worked with Professors Hans A. Schmitt and Enno E. Kraehe in the field of modern European history.
Malcolm began attending the University of Virginia in 1986 and received the M.A. degree in history in 1988. His M.A. Thesis is entitled, "Austria Apart: German Austrian Sentiments after Koniggratz." He worked as a graduate instructor in 1988-89 and passed his Ph.D. oral examinations in September of 1989. Previously, Malcolm earned a B.A. in German at Westminster College, Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1963, and a M.L.S. in Library Science at the University of Denver, in 1970. He also attended California State University. He formerly was employed as a librarian in California and served as an officer in the United States Air Force.
Malcolm, born in Orange, New Jersey, was living in Lynchburg, Virginia, at the time of his death. He is survived by one daughter and his wife, Ms. Elizabeth M. Reynolds, M.D.
