Sarah T
Sarah (born Sarai) is a biblical matriarch and prophetess, a major figure in Abrahamic religions. While different Abrahamic faiths portray her differently, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all depict her character similarly, as that of a pious woman, renowned for her hospitality and beauty, the wife and half-sister of Abraham, and the mother of Isaac. Sarah has her feast day on 1 September in the Catholic Church, 19 August in the Coptic Orthodox Church, 20 January in the LCMS, and 12 and 20 December in the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the Hebrew Bible Family According to Book of Genesis 20:12, in conversation with the Philistine king Abimelech of Gerar, Abraham reveals Sarah to be both his wife and his half-sister, stating that the two share a father but not a mother. Such unions were later explicitly banned in the Book of Leviticus (). This would make Sarah the daughter of Terah and the half-sister of not only Abraham but Haran and Nahor. She would also have been th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dixie University
Dixie University was a short-lived college in downtown Dallas, Texas that was chartered in 1933 by the Somerville Law School partly to expand into a liberal arts college, and partly to create a home for the displaced 1932 Jefferson Rangers football team to relocate. The law school was re-branded in the spring of 1933 and held its first Dixie Law School graduation then. In the fall of 1933 Dixie University opened with 400 students in the law school and the brand-new undergraduate colleges. However, by the spring of 1935 Dixie had failed and the liberal arts college shut its doors without notice. Somerville Law School, founded in 1929, carried on until 1947 before it eventually closed, too. History Based in downtown Dallas at the old YMCA Building, Dixie opened the 1933 fall semester with its law school and its new schools of Commerce, Public Administration and Accounting. Charles L. Somerville, the founder of Somerville Law and Dixie, also wanted to compete in college athleti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Texarkana Junior College
Texarkana College is a public community college in Texarkana, Texas. History Texarkana College was formed in 1927, as a branch of the Texarkana Independent School District, which voted to proceed with plans for establishment of a community college. Its first building was located at the corner of 16th and Pine Streets, and contained classrooms, laboratories, and a gymnasium, the latter two of which were used by both the college and the high school. In 1941, the citizens of Texarkana voted to create a separate Texarkana College District, complete with approval of a $20 mill property tax to fund the District. However, the local school board and the district's Board of Regents would comprise the same individuals until 1957, when the two boards voted to separate. After a successful bond issue in 1948, the college purchased at its present location, and moved there in October 1951. In 1971, Texarkana College and East Texas State University joined to offer upper-level and gradu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
