Oberlin was an important station
on the underground railroad" OF
the many .fugitives who went there
none ever were returned to slavery.
This exposed both the town and the
college to much criticism and more
hostility among other parts Of the
state.
It was a men from Oberlin who
received the blame and the longest
jail terms in the rescue at yelling
ton, of John Price, a fugitive slave
from Kentucky, from a United States
marshal who had arrested the negro
at Oberlin.
Price had been at Oberlin for
some time before he was apprehend-
ed and seized by two marshals from
| Columbus and two men from Ken
| lucky who showed a writ from his
master. 1t was September 13, 1858.
They drove the eight miles to Well
ington, where they were waiting at
the Wadsworth Hotel to take the
prisoner south on the first train.
Because of fire there was quite a
crowd in Wellington that day and 13
of the men, joined by the two dozen
, who had followed the officers from
Oberlin, surrounded the hotel and
took the negro away from them.
All were indicted under the Fugi-
! tive Slave law of 1850, by a grand
jury of the United States District
Court. The Wellington men, pleading
guilty, were fined $50 each and given
"a hours in Jail.
The Oberlin men, choosing to fight
the case, were held in Jail in Cleve-
land for months awaiting trial, Two
were sentenced, Simon Bushnell to sc
days imprisonment and 5000 fine and
Charles H. Langsten to 20 days ir
Jail and 800 fine. Langsten was q
negro.
Though it was July before they got
out, the OberIin men had a fairly
good time in the Jail. There were
mass meetings, parades and banners
Even Governor Salem P. Chase made
one of the speeches-on their side.
| One prisoner, a man named Fitch
was Sunday school superintendent

years. Four hundred of the Sunday
school children went to Cleveland
where they were joined by children

and all swarmed into the Jail. A gen
eral celebration followed.
Price was released when the cour
held the Kentuckians showed insuffi
cient proof of ownership, and tn,
prisoners from Oberlin went home
where they were met by a procession
headed by Hecker's band, playin;

If you did not eat meat you could
board in the college dining hall for
seventy-five cents a week. II you in
sisted on meat and got it twice a
day, your board would cost you 25
cents a week additional.
That was a little more than 100
years ago at the College in the
Woods.
The entire expense of living during
the 40-week school year was $58 to
$89 not counting the clothing worn.

Incidentally, students did not smoke
or use tobacco-to do SO meant sum-
mary dismissal.
Little more than a decade old, the
long, one-story log college was in an
Indian clearing on 500 acres of do
mated land-virgin forest and almost
inaccessible BY roads. The students,
most of whom earned their keep by
school teaching or laboring, called 1t
"Slab Hail."
Three Professors
In one Of the small log cabins in
the clearing the three professors
lived. One of them did the cooking
and Housekeeping. All taught the
students literary subjects and music.
There were no monitorial stipulation,
grading of papers or distributions of
honors.
That was Oberlin during the first
years following its foundation IN 18-
"a. By 1864 OberIin had, besides the
college, three general stores and a
book store, one church and about $50
homes. The college was co-education-
al and then had about hundred stu
and board was up to So week.
When the college was one year old
its student body received a great ad-
dition when four-fifths of the stu
dents at Lane Seminary, Cincinnati,
quit and came to Oberlin.
Slavery Issue was Hot Potato
The Cincinnati institution had for
a time been broken up because the
students had been forbidden to dis
cuss slavery.
0berlin was not designed as an in
stitution for negroes but its found
ers saw no reason to exclude them so
they were admitted.
With the Lane students came two
of the schools professors and one
from New York. A theological de-
partment was then established.
From its beginning up to the turn
of the century, of the 10000 students
admitted 10000 were white. Of the
colored students, only sixty, 80 mer
and 28 women, completed a course
Oberlin Anti Slavery Hotbed
| At Oberlin the abolition of slavery
was freely discussed with the result
that the village, which not until Al
years later attained a population Of
1900, became converted to abolition
ism and was hot bed of anti-slavery
sentiment that spread Throughout
northern Ohio. Lecturers from there
sent out by the American Anti-Slav
cry Society, swarmed everywhere.
So did missionaries, for that mat
ter. The use of tobacco still was tab

of Southwest Asia with head
quarters in Antioch in Syria, and
another general, Ptolemy took
over Northwest Africa with head
quarters at Alexandria in Egypt.
This happened $3.50 years ago.
Judea, the small Jewish state
situated between these two rival
empires, became a pawn in their
hands. In the course of their
struggle for power, the Seleucid
and Ptolemaic dynasties entered
into various treaties with one an
other and with others. Thus, by
a treaty of 3O3 B. G. e. Judea and
coastal Phoenicia were coded to
Ptolemy of Egypt. Two years
later, however, in 3O1 B. C. E., in
accordance with a new treaty,
these two lands were coded to
Selecus of Syria. Thus the Jew
ish people in Palestine were
caught up in an imperialistic tug
of war. How did they react to
this situation?
Two Groups Among the Jews
One group of Jews, whose leader
was the High Priest in Jerusalem,
believed in playing off one imper-
ialist power against the other,
while working vigorously at the
same time to preserve and develop
the Jewish way Of life. This pro-
Jewish group was economically
powerful, partly because Of the
High Priests office controlled the
market of Jerusalem and through
it much of the city's economy.
The Temple in Jerusalem deriv-
ed its revenue not only from the
Jews in Palestine but. also from
the Jews in the Diaspora. Ever
since the beginning of the Baby
lonian Exile in 597 B. c. E., and
even after the Edict of Liberation
issued in 538 B. c. E. by Cyrus
of Persia who conquered Baby
lonia, the bulk of dispersed Jewry
was to be found in the areas north
and east of Palestine, the territory
that came to be governed later by
the Seleucid dynasties. However,
over the centuries a notable shift

The history of Chanukah, as it
has come down to us, is found, of
course, in the Books of the Macca-
bees and in the writings of jose
plus. Recent researches, how
ever, especially by Prof. Solomon
Zeitlin of Dropsie College in
Philadelphia, and Avigdor Tcher-
ikover of the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem, help to reconstruct
for us the Maccabean story in its
true historical perspective.
Judea Caught Between
Two Empires
After Alexander the Great, who
conquered the Near Eastern world,
died in 1923 B. C. E., the vast
Hellenistic Tor Creek Empire fell
apart. One of Alexander's gen.
erals, Seleucus, came into control

The Story Of Chanukah What Really Happened?

I'M Jewish population occurred. III
100 B. c. e. the Jews Of Egypt'
especially of Alexandria, had IN
creased considerably in population
and influence. Not only that, but
the increasing disintegration OF
the Syrian Empire, due to govern
ment neglect and inefficlency'
made travel for gift-bearing Jew
ish pilgrims to the Temple IN
Jerusalem a hazardous and Tor
bidding affair. For these reasons
the ruling group in Judea as rep
resented by the Temple officials
began to side more and more with
the Ptolemaic court in Egypt
rather than with their political
rulers. the seleucid court in Syria.
The Hellenist Jews
However, there gradually grew
up in Judea another group OF
substantial Jews who were anx-
Il ous to exercise political power be-
fitting their economic status.
They were the tax-collectors led
by the Tobias family, with head
quarters in Jerusalem. They wax
ed economically powerful by ruth
lessly collecting the heavy taxes
(ceded by Antiochus III to Ptol-
envy v of Egypt after 1872 B. c. E.)
imposed by the Ptolemaic govern
ment of Egypt on the people of
Judea and nearby lands. For pay
ment they received a sizeable
share of these taxes.
The Jews of this group were in
constant contact with the Ptol-
emaic and Seleucid courts whose
favor they curried. And so they
acquired the Hellenistic outlook
on life, changed their names from
Hebrew to Greek and spoke Greek
instead of Hebrew. They became
fond of the athletics which were
so prominent a feature of HELEN
istic life and they wanted very
much to build a gymnasium in
Jerusalem. It was not that they
were so much interested in sports.
More than that was involved. Ac-
cording to the law of that time,
a city which received permission
to erect a gymnasium could also
strike its own coinage, and those
who frequented the gymnasium
were regarded as citizens.
But despite their amassed
wealth, this Hellenizing group
could not gain the political power
which the pro-Jewish group held.
So one of their representatives
bribed King Antiochus w of Syria
with a considerable sum of money
and thereby got Jason Greek for
Joshua) appointed High Priest in
place of his brother, Onias III.
Therefore they erected a gymnas-
ium in Jerusalem and struck their
own coinage. Moreover they be-
came "Citizens of Antioch" in
stead of members of the Jewish
nation.
This aSSimiIatiOniSt movement
gained momentum. Jason, who
proved to be somewhat on the con-
sentative side, was soon replaced
by MeneIaus Greek for Onias), a
member of the Tobias family. BY
ITO b. G. E. the HelIenizatiOn and
suppression of Judaism was in full
swing. Judaism might gradually
have disappeared in this period,
but as fate would have it, Anti
Ochus Nv of Syria became an in
Strument for Jewish survival. In
16O-168 B. G. E. the Syrian regime
embarked upon the conquest of
Egypt. In the process they over

They carried a big sack be-
