		Dickinson was immensely responsive to friendship with those she found interesting, and loved both women and men with a passionate intensity expressed in both letters and poems.

	James W. Phillips - The Sources of the Original Dickinson College Library
		With the granting of the charter to Dickinson College in 1783, the College fathers began immediately to assemble a library for the new institution.
		The library came into "tangible existence" upon John Dickinson's presentation of the Norris books; the collection did not make up in quality what it lacked in quantity; and the foundation of literary society libraries — the earliest at Dickinson College was founded in 1791 — was tacit criticism of the usefulness of the original library.
		Despite this criticism, which may not be completely void of the prejudice of vantage point, the Dickinson College Library in 1787 compared favorably in statistics and in subject matter with the libraries of the older colleges of that day.

	Brief Biography of Emily Dickinson
		The myth, of course, is of Dickinson as a reclusive spinster-poet, brooding over a deep romantic mystery in her past.
		The thing that sets Dickinson apart from other women of her class and generation is simply her poetic gift, something attributable more to nature and culture than to some emotional trauma.
		She maintained a lifelong correspondence with Susan Dickinson, even though they were next-door neighbors; this correspondence, preserved by Susan, is the source for many of the poet's manuscripts.

	PAL: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
		"Since Emily Dickinson's full maturity as a dedicated artist occurred during the span of the Civil War, the most convulsive era of the nation's history, one of course turns to the letters of 1861-1865, and the years that follow, for her interpretation of events.
		The reverse was true for Dickinson, to whom the war was an annoyance, a reality only when it was mirrored to her in casualty lists.
		Such evidently was true in some degree for all the Dickinsons, since Austin, when drafted exercised his privilege of paying the five-hundred-dollar fee to arrange for a substitute.

		Durden says that some who are criticizing the college for inviting Moore seem not to have noticed that a conservative commentator, Jonah Goldberg, will speak on campus later that month, a point made prominently in The Sentinel's Aug. 27 story that broke the news that Moore is coming.
		The notorious Ann Coulter was on the college's short list of possible invitees (that would have been a hoot), but Durden says the Goldberg-Moore pairing is better because Goldberg covered the Democratic convention for USA Today and Moore is covering the Republican convention for the same paper.
