dbo:abstract
Masyarakat Sastra Romney merupakan organisasi sastra yang pertama di negara bagian Amerika Serikat, Virginia Barat dan menjadi salah satu yang paling awal di Amerika Serikat. Organisasi ini didirikan pada tanggal 30 Januari 1819 dan dibubarkan pada tanggal 15 Februari 1886. Lokasi pendirian dan pembubarannya sama, yaitu di Romney, Virginia Barat. Awalnya, nama organisasinya disebut sebagai Masyarakat Polemi Romney. Pendirinya adalah tokoh masyarakat di Romney. Tujuannya untuk memajukan sastra dan ilmu pengetahuan, membeli dan memelihara perpustakaan, dan meningkatkan kesempatan atas perolehan pendidikan. Di dalam Masyarakat Sastra Romney diperdebatkan berbagai topik yang bersifat ilmiah dan sosial. Pada kondisi tertentu, perdebatan terjadi dengan topik yang dilarang untuk dibahas, yaitu topik agama dan politik. Jumlah anggota dari Masyarakat Sastra Romney tidak banyak, tetapi perdebatan dan kegiatannya sering dibahas di seluruh wilayah Dataran Tinggi Potomac. Organisasi ini juga sangat berpegaruh terhadap kecenderungan pemikiran di komunitas Romney dan wilayah sekitarnya. Masyarakat Sastra Romney memiliki perpustakaan sendiri sejak tahun 1819. Koleksi pertamanya berupa dua buku. Pada tahun 1861, jumlah koleksinya bertambah banyak menjadi sekitar 3.000 volume pada bidang sastra, ilmu pengetahuan, sejarah, dan seni. Masyarakat Sastra Romney juga berusaha untuk mendirikan sebuah lembaga yang ditujukan sebagai tempat pendidikan tinggi bagi para pemuda yang menjadi anggotanya. Sebagai hasil dari inisiatifnya, pada tahun 1820 didirikanlah Akademi Romney. Di dalam kurikulum diperkenalkan pengajaran klasik, sehingga menjadikan institusi tersebut sebagai sekolah pendidikan tinggi pertama di Panhandle Timur. Pada tahun 1846, Masyarakat Sastra Romney membangun sebuah gedung yang menampung Institut Klasik Romney dan perpustakaannya, Kedua tempat ini dikelola dengan pengawasan dari organisasinya. Lembaga ini awalnya dikelola oleh Pendeta Presbiterian yang bernama William Henry Foote. Namun, Masyarakat Sastra Romney mengalami perselisihan dengan Foote, sehingga ia mendirikan sekolah saingan di Romney pada tahun 1850. Sekolah ini diberinya nama Seminari Potomac. Masyarakat Sastra Romney dan Institut Klasik Romney terus berkembang dalam memberikan pengaruh sampai awal Perang Saudara Amerika pada tahun 1861. Pasuka dari Union Army menjarah isi perpustakaan yang dikelola oleh Masyarakat Sastra Romney. Setelah perang tersebut berakhir pada tahun 1865, hanya 400 volume perpustakaan yang dapat ditemukan. Pada tahun 1869, Masyarakat Sastra Romney melakukan pengaturan ulang untuk organisasi dengan mengambil peran utama dalam pembangunan sipil Romney selama Era Rekonstruksi. Antara tahun 1869 dan 1870, organisasi ini mampu menyelesaikan pembangunan Balai Sastra dan menjadikannya sebagai tempat mengadakan pertemuan dan menyusun kembali perpustakaannya. Masyarakat Sastra Romney juga menggunakan pengaruhnya untuk mengamankan pendirian Sekolah Tunarungu dan Tunanetra Virginia Barat di kota Romney. Sekolah tersebut ditawari untuk membangun gedung di bekas kampus Institut Klasik Romney. Sekolah ini akhirnya resmi dibuka pada tanggal 29 September 1870. Namun, keanggotaan Masyarakat Sastra Romney mulai berkurang pada tahun berikutnya. Tahun 1886 menjadi pertemuan terakhir yang tercatat diadakan oleh organisasi ini. The Romney Literary Society (also known as the Literary Society of Romney) existed from January 30, 1819, to February 15, 1886, in Romney, West Virginia. Established as the Polemic Society of Romney, it became the first organization of its kind in the present-day state of West Virginia, and one of the first in the United States. The society was founded by nine prominent men of Romney with the objectives of advancing literature and science, purchasing and maintaining a library, and improving educational opportunities. The society debated an extensive range of scientific and social topics, often violating its own rules which banned religious and political subjects. Even though its membership was relatively small, its debates and activities were frequently discussed throughout the Potomac Highlands region, and the organization greatly influenced trends of thought in the Romney community and surrounding areas. The society's library began in 1819 with the acquisition of two books; by 1861, it had grown to contain approximately 3,000 volumes on subjects such as literature, science, history, and art. The organization also sought to establish an institution for "the higher education of the youth of the community." In 1820, as a result of this initiative, the teaching of the classics was introduced into the curriculum of Romney Academy, thus making the institution the first school of higher education in the Eastern Panhandle. In 1846, the society constructed a building which housed the Romney Classical Institute and its library, both of which fell under the society's supervision. The institute was administered by noted Presbyterian Reverend William Henry Foote. Following a dispute with the society, Foote founded a rival school in Romney, known as the Potomac Seminary, in 1850. The Romney Literary Society and the Romney Classical Institute continued to grow in influence until the onset of the American Civil War in 1861. The contents of the society's library were plundered by Union Army forces, and only 400 of the library's volumes could be recovered following the war's end in 1865. Reorganized in 1869, the society took a leading role in Romney's civil development during Reconstruction. Between 1869 and 1870, it completed construction of Literary Hall, where the society held meetings and reassembled its library. The organization used its influence to secure the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind for the town of Romney, and offered the school its former Romney Classical Institute campus. The schools opened on September 29, 1870. Interest in the society waned during its final years, and its last recorded meeting was held in 1886.
