Title: "Jefferson, Calhoun, and the Slavery Debate: The Classics and
the
Two Minds of the South."
Publication: Southern Humanities
Review
Volume: 11
Date: 1977
Pages: 33-40
Notes: Argues
for two classical traditions in the South; one associated with the
Enlightenment, looking to
antiquity for models of freedom, the other looking for sanctions to
maintain the status quo.
TJ and Calhoun represent these.

Title: The Legacy of Jefferson: An Appeal to the Alumni of the
University
Publication: n.p.
Date: n.d.
Pages: pp. 15
Notes: Claims TJ was an occult "mystic" of the cabbalistic,
Masonic variety, e.g. the ten pavilions at the University symbolize "the
ten Sephirothal
emanations of the Great Wisdom." This lore needs to be taught in the
law school in order to
combat "the Browders and Tugwells" of the author's day.

Notes: Reviews the Lockean background of the Declaration
and TJ's understanding of individual rights in view of Wilmoore
Kendall's conservative
interpretation of Locke; evidence does not support reading "radically
individualistic political
theory" into the Declaration.

Title: The Obligation of Intellectuals to Be Intelligent: Some
Commentary
from Jefferson and Adams
Publisher: Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Foundation
City: Charlottesville
Date: 1974
Pages: pp. 15
Notes: TJ as an intellectual was able to adapt his idealism
~to the necessity of being practically intelligent." Both TJ and Adams
disliked foggy
philosophers such as Plato or Rousseau; youthful academics of today
devoted to Marcuse or
Marx should take notice. A veiled hit at opponents of U.S. involvement
in Viet
Nam.

representation and a
representative life." He tends "toward seeing his life as a result of the
history he has made
by writing." Goes on to infer a "symbolic narrative" in the
Autobiography, concerned with
parricides and patrimonies.
