David R. Dougherty Senior Teaching Fellowship of American History
	The David R. Dougherty Senior Teaching Fellowship of American History was established in 2004 by Lewis E. Lehrman, Hill class of '56, who wished to honor the current Hill Headmaster by naming the fellowship for Mr. Dougherty. In creating the fellowship, Mr. Lehrman indicated that "every fellow shall teach the exceptional history of the United States of America; shall have mastered the American story; and will have demonstrated the ability to inspire students to understand and to embrace their country's history, even while learning its flaws." Mr. Lehrman helped found the Rite Aid drugstore chain and an investment management firm and he co-created the Gilder-Lehrman Institute that supports the teaching of history in the United States. Dougherty Senior Teaching Fellows are invited to campus to deliver several lectures to the student body throughout a school year. In addition, they have the opportunity to visit with Hill's history classes. Below is information about the individuals who have been named David R. Dougherty Senior Teaching Fellows:

	Michael Uhlmann, Ph.D. '58, political science professor at Claremont Graduate University
	The Hill School welcomed Michael Uhlmann, Ph.D. '58, a member of The Hill School Board of Trustees and political science professor at Claremont Graduate University, as the 2010-11 Dougherty Fellow. Dr. Uhlmann spoke with American history students during his visit on October 7, 2010. Dr. Uhlmann shared his thoughts on why students should invest time and thought in studying the history and writings of our America's Founding Fathers -- work that contains not only historical facts but reflections on moral propositions and issues that continue to affect the daily lives of our nation's citizenry.   "The best reason to study the Founding Fathers is that the moral argument set forth in the Declaration of Independence -- that all men are created equal -- is true," he said, adding that this truly revolutionary document shared an idea that represented "a shift to an altogether different plane" in terms of its approach to founding a new nation.

	Dr. Alan Guelzo, the Luce Professor of Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College
	Dr. Guelzo The Hill School welcomed Dr. Allen C. Guelzo to its Center For The Arts as the 2008-2009 Dougherty Fellowship speaker on February 10, the day before the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday anniversary. In addition to speaking with The Hill’s students and faculty during an assembly, Dr. Guelzo met with a U.S. history class. Dr. Guelzo is the Luce Professor of Civil War Era Studies and a professor of History and Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College, as well as an established author who most recently published Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates that Defined America (2008). Dr. Guelzo’s speech concerned President Abraham Lincoln and the mysteries that surround our 16th president. As a scholar, Guelzo said his mission was to sift through the lies, half truths, and ideals people commonly connect to President Lincoln. The professor noted that the “top 10” most commonly cited beliefs and myths about Lincoln (many of which contain varying degrees of truth) are the following: Lincoln came from the “wrong side of the track”; he held Christian beliefs; he was an honest lawyer; he would be a Democrat if he were here today; he wrote the Gettysburg Address on the back of a brown envelope on his way to the cemetery; he was a “white racist”; he foretold his own death; his assassination was arranged by members of his cabinet; Lincoln’s body is missing; and Lincoln was the greatest president.
