Eva Beatrice Dykes (13 August 1893 – 29 October 1986) was a prominent educator and the third black American woman to be awarded a PhD.

Dykes was born in Washington, D.C., on August 13, 1893, the daughter of Martha Ann (née Howard) and James Stanley Dykes. She attended M Street High School (later renamed Dunbar High School). She graduated summa cum laude from Howard University with a B.A. in 1914. While attending Howard University, where several family members had studied, Eva was initiated into the Alpha chapter of Delta Sigma Theta. At the end of her last semester she was awarded Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated's first official scholarship. After a short stint of teaching at Walden University in Nashville, Tennessee, Dykes attended Radcliffe College graduating magna cum laude with a second B.A. in 1917 and a M.A in 1918. While at Radcliffe she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1920 Dykes began teaching at Dunbar High School, and in 1921 she received a PhD from Radcliffe (now a part of Harvard University). Her dissertation was titled “Pope and His influence in America from 1715 to 1815”, and explored the attitudes of Alexander Pope towards slavery and his influence on American writers. Dykes was the first black American woman to complete the requirements for a doctoral degree, however, because Radcliffe College held its graduation ceremonies later in the spring, she was the third to graduate, behind Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander (1921, University of Pennsylvania) and Georgiana R. Simpson (1921, University of Chicago).

After her graduation from Radcliffe in 1921, Dykes continued to teach at Dunbar High School until 1929 when she returned to Howard University as a member of the English Faculty. An excellent teacher, Dykes won a number of teaching awards during her 15 years of service at Howard University. Her publications include Readings from Negro Authors for Schools and Colleges co-authored with Lorenzo Dow Turner and Otelia Cromwell (1931) and The Negro in English Romantic Thought: Or a Study in Sympathy for the Oppressed (1942). In 1934 Dykes began writing a column in the Seventh-day Adventist periodical Message Magazine, this continued until 1984.

In 1920 Dykes joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and in 1944 she joined the faculty of the then small and unaccredited Seventh-day Adventist Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama, as the Chair of the English Department. She was the first staff member at Oakwood to hold a doctoral qualification and was instrumental in assisting the college to gain accreditation. Dykes retired in 1968 but returned to Oakwood to teach in 1970 and continued until 1975. In 1973 the Oakwood College library was named in her honor and in 1980 she was made a Professor Emerita. In 1975 the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church presented Dykes with a Citation of Excellence honouring her for an outstanding contribution to Seventh-day Adventist education. Dykes died in Huntsville on October 29, 1986, at the age of 93.

SO TRUE about the trinity homilies!! I've gotten really bad ones and really 'meh' ones, and only 1 good one in my lifetime so far. any particular favorite articles online or things like that about the trinity that you favor?

BE STILL my beating heart. I'll give you some of my thoughts and then a list of book recs. Most of the articles that come to mind are academic ones that are behind a paywall - I tend not to read much of popular press, but you might find something if you search Catholic Women Preach, go through America Magazine, or even Youtube.

My thoughts:

The Trinity is one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith. A mystery meaning something to be pondered, rather than solved. It's a lot like trying to understand love, because love is so beautifully layered and complex and diverse. Who can fully comprehend the mysteriousness and depth of the human heart and its capacity for loving another? Take that and multiply it by infinity for God, who is love, who is loving itself, who is the act and existence and being of love, who loves into creation, loves unto death on a cross, and loves in sanctifying us and giving us strength. It's the noun of love, while verbing the act of love, and gerunding as the being of love. Love is boundless; there is the lover, the beloved, and the love itself. This is the Trinity in short: it is the lover (God), the beloved (Jesus, and through his humanity, all of us), and the love between them that is poured out on all humanity (the Holy Spirit). What a profound, beautiful mystery that reveals the diversity of God, the unity of God, and the outpouring of God Godself unto all of us.

Book Recs:

Catherine Mowry Lacugna, God for Us: The Trinity and Christian Life, 1993.

Karl Rahner, The Trinity, (Milestones in Catholic Theology) English transl. 1997

Anne Hunt, The Trinity and the Paschal Mystery: A Development in Recent Catholic Theology, 1997.

Sarah Coakley, God, Sexuality, and the Self: An Essay 'On the Trinity', 2013.

John Zizioulas, Being as Communion: Studies in Personhood and the Church, 1997.

St Augustine, De Trinitate, find it online here

Leonardo Boff, Trinity and Society, 1988.

St Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, part 1, q.27-43, read online here.

I'd start with Catherine Mowry Lacugna *IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR* with Trinitarian theology as a whole.

If not, try Richard Rohr's The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation. Rohr is great for laypersons and those looking for an intro into various parts of Catholic theology, spirituality, and mysticism.

LEGENDARY CLASH STYLE | FROM PUNK ROCK ROUGH TO SARTORIAL SMOOTH

* Joe Strummer of The Clash, LA 1983. (Photo by Ann Summa/Getty Images) * I don’t know if there’s a band that has inspired me over the years in terms of style more than The Clash. The way they could effortlessly mix punk and street style with sartorial flair and make it look so effortless and cool was intoxicating.  The mix of tailored suits with suede creepers, Doc Marten boots (back when they…

Even with Tina in residence, Sharla finds the Liberal Arts building a more appealing hangout than the dorm. There's always new people coming through, and she needs more friends!

"So when are you moving into the sorority?" "Any time now, I guess. You're sure there's room?" "Pfft, you've seen the house, right? With Sara and Helen both gone Mary Ann and I are gonna rattle around."

"Yeah, I'm about fed up of the dorm. You have the sorority number, right?…I wouldn't want you to not be able to get hold of me just because I ran out of charge."

"In a lot of ways this is a really nice place to live, but honestly I think the sorority will be nicer."

Dorm life aside, though, campus is idyllic compared to a house full of younger siblings.

"If I ever get a genie lamp, I'm definitely wishing for money, just so I don't have to worry about it anymore and can do more important things."

"I did all right, but Delta's going to be a summa for sure." "I just don't see how that's a goal, you know? You do it, or you don't. If you try and fail, you've missed half the college experience for nothing."

"Unlike some people in this dorm, I'm not leaving any messes behind me."

"Bye, Sharla! Enjoy the sorority." "You could pledge, too." "Maybe later. I'd like to be on my own for awhile - and I have enough money from home, I can afford a place by myself, now I've looked around me. The cute little blue house next to the Newsons is empty." "Well, if that's what you want. I'll invite you to my first toga."

"I wonder if xenobiology is worth studying?…Nah. Penny and Laika respond to the same sales pitches as everybody else."
