Longwood University became the 12th member of the Big South Conference on July 1, 2012.Embarking on its 30th year in 2013-14, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leaderin college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’sgrowing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments onthe national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, andquality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and

leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell

and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, CharlestonSouthern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner andcontinued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more thanthe required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths inseveral national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retir-ing Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received itsfirst automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAABaseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, theConference implemented its public relations and compliance programs,and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featur-ing the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in thenation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’sthird Commissioner, and in his 17 years at the helm of the Big South,Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting theConference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels inmarketing revenue during his tenure, as he has brought television cover-age to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s andwomen’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time inConference history, as well as increased national television exposure tothe League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiatedits first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as adistinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutionallife through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to addfootball as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, andoversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidifiedConference membership, as an all-time high 12 member institutions com-prise the 30-year old League. Recent additions include High Point,Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return ofcharter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced itsfirst live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 events annually through a partnership with themember institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conferencehas had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 300 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s bas-ketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoortrack & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship seven times in addition to the first men’s tennisdoubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, hadthe nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, has received twoat-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in thetop 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007).

In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a teamin the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina).In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four times -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while theChanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s SamChelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals forthe second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basket-ball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships (crosscountry, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the SecondRound of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance to the NCAAChampionship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In 2011-12, theBig South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well as a record 42

All-Americans.This past season, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans.

The Conference also had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time, had a women’s basketball team win a postseason gamefor the first time since 2005, had a League-record four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play, had two men’s soccer teams reach theNCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selected for NCAA Regional play.

Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made theU.S. Olympic Team in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacsqualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s TyWigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won seven PGA Tour events since departingthe Big South Conference in 2007. Three former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2012, while Avery Warley became thethird Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA two years ago.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25thAnniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with LibertyUniversity’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. TheConference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past four years, nearly 50 percent of Conference’s student-athletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and the League hashad more than 110 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public RecognitionAwards for APR progress the last four years. As part of this year’s 30th anniversary celebration, the League will recognize All-Decade Teams foreach sport spanning the Conference’s first three decades of existence.

CHAMPIOnSHIP TRADITIOn - HISTORy OF PROGRAM

The sport of women’s golf made its collegiate debut at Longwood in1966, founded by Dr. Barbara Smith, who would coach the highly successfulprogram for 26 years (1966-92). During a remarkable nine-year period from1987-1995, the program won five National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA)Division II Tournament Championships (1987-88, 1990, 1993, 1995); finish-ing as national runners-up four times (1989, 1991-92, 1994). Dr. Smith, alongwith her 1987 and 1988 NGCA Championship Teams, were inducted into theLongwood Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2009.

Prior to beginning its NCAA Division I Reclassification in 2003-04,Longwood had qualified individuals to 20 consecutive NCAA Championships(Division I, 1984-95; Division II, 1996-2003) in addition to its outstandingteam successes. The Lancers have had two former standouts win a total of fiveindividual national titles: Tina Barrett, 1986-87 and Charlaine Coetzee, 1993-95, while also having the top Division II finisher in the NCAA Division IChampionships six times.

The most prominent of the many excellent women’s golf standouts atLongwood is Tina Barrett. A four-time All-American (1985-88), she was thetop Division II finish-er in the 1985, 1986,and 1988 NCAAChampionships. Asmentioned above,Barrett also claimed

two Division II individual titles while finishing second in 1988. She earnednational academic honors for three years as well (1986-88). Barrett has goneon to enjoy a successful professional career on the LPGA Tour that is current-ly in its 20th year.

Charlaine Coetzee followed Barrett in gaining national recognition, earn-ing All-America honors for four years as well (1992-95). She claimed threeDivision II individual titles while finishing fourth in 1992. Coetzee finishedin a tie for 34th at the 1994 NCAA Championship, the best finish ever for aLongwood golfer. She also earned multi-year national academic honors fortwo years (1994-95). Coetzee played professionally on the FUTURES Tourfor 10 years (1996-2005).

Longwood haswon 52 tournamentssince 1979 whileplaying against pre-dominantly Division Icompetition outsideof the five Division IInational championships. Twenty-three different Longwood women’s golfstandouts have received 46 All-America citations since 1981. Twelve differ-ent Lancer women’s golf standouts have received 31 national academic cita-tions since 1986.

Obviously, the biggest tournament wins in the program’s 41-year histo-ry have been the five NGCA National Championships. The first title team in1987 included Barrett, Marcia Melone, Gretchen Pugh, Ashley Warren, andTammy Lohren. Playing in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, the Lancers shot 327-321-309--957 to defeat Rollins (Fla.) (972) by 15 strokes, led by Barrett (81-78-79--238). On a side note from 1987, Melone ended Barrett's two-year run as thetop Division II finisher at the NCAA Championships when she shot a schoolrecord for 72-holes (78-79-74--305) to tie for 47th place -- a record that hasstood for 20 years. In 1988, almost the same group, with the addition of LeighRussell taking Lohren's spot, went to Dubuque, Iowa to win its second-straightNGCA national title. Longwood shot 312-308-322--942 to defeat Troy State(Ala.) (976) by 34 strokes, once again led by Barrett (75-74-77--226).

CHAMPIOnSHIP TRADITIOn - HISTORy OF PROGRAM

The Hall of Fame Class of 2009 team members from these two teamsincluded Tina Barrett, Leslie Oscovitch Gartner, Tammy Lohren, MarciaMelone, Libby Moore, Kim Poirier, Gretchen Pugh, Leigh Russell, and AshleyWarren.

Longwood claimed its third NGCA tournament championship in 1990with a team that featured Warren, a member of three title teams, along withAmi Schonauer, Sherry Evans, Heather Hartwick, and Daphne Sole. TheLancers, ironically, defeated Rollins again by 15 strokes with a team score of334-317-323--974 to 989 with Schonauer (83-78-77--238) leading the charge

in Amherst,Massachusetts.

L o n g w o o dwon its fourth NGCAnational title in 1993during the program’sfirst year under thedirection of formerhead coach Cindy Ho(1992-2002) whoreplaced the leg-endary Dr. Smith.Saving its best show-ing of the year forwhen it counted most, the Lancers shot 320-313-312--945 to defeat defendingnational champion and long-time Division II rival Rollins (984) by 39 strokesin South Hadley, Massachusetts. Longwood finished 1-2-3 in the individualstandings as Coetzee shot a 78-70-73--221 to win the first of her three nation-al titles. Team captain Anna Radford was second (78-77-79--234) and BrendaCampbell-Harris was third (80-81-75--236), followed by teammates AnnaHolm and Janine Ballow. Coetzee shot a school-record 71-71-70--212 to winthe individual title again in 1994, though Longwood was second behindRollins in the team standings.

Longwood won its fifth NGCA National Championship in 1995, defeat-ing Rollins by 16 strokes in New Palestine, Indiana. Coetzee won her third-straight individual national title with a 74-81-77--232 asLongwood finished at 324-328-317--969, playing its best round despite thunderstorms and two rain delays on the final day of the tour-nament. Rollins (327-326-332--985) trailed by just one stroke after 36 holes, but the Lancers increased their margin by 15 shots onthe final day. Coetzee was joined on that 1995 national championship team by Anna Holm, Karla Roberson, Frida Svensson, andMichelle Ziats.

Since that unprecedented nine-year period of finishing first or second at the national championships, Longwood made four moreappearances at the national tournament from 1998-2003. The highest finish by the Lancers during the five years prior to the Division

I Reclassification was a third-place finish in 1998 that produced a school-record team score for 72-holes (312-321-322-322--1277). Longwood was not eligible for any NCAA post-season team or individual competition during the recent four-year transition to

Division I (2003-07). That was unfortunate as the program featured two of its finest players ever in Stephanie Hicks (2002-06) andTiffany Woodyer (2002-05). Hicks capped an outstanding collegiate career with a new school record for season scoring average of74.90 over 20 rounds in 2005-06, surpassing Barrett’s previous record of 75.8 (1987-88). She also compiled a career scoring averageof 77.13, a new school-record at the time and still fourth-best behind current standout Amanda Steinhagen, Kameron Carter (2007-12)and Ariel Witmer. Hicks won four events during her career, and was named the 2005 Division I Independent Co-Player of the Yearwhile also a two-time Division I All-Independent first team selection. Woodyer compiled a 78.30 career scoring average at Longwoodwhich ranks sixth all-time. She earned NGCA Division II All-America second team honors in 2003, and was a first team Division IAll-Independent choice in 2005.

Longwood entered its official Division I era in September 2007, and the Lancers have continued the outstanding tradition ofwomen’s golf at the institution. Longwood finished 2007-08 with two tournament wins and averaged 311.86. The Lancers finished2008-09 with two more tournament wins, averaging 312.04. Longwood finished 2009-10 with one tournament win and averaged308.33. The Lancers finished 2010-11 with one tournament win, averaging 307.50. Longwood finished 2011-12 with one tournamentwin, two runners-up finishes and a third-place finish among eight top-10 team efforts overall with 18 top-20 individual finishes, averaging anew school-record 305.33. The Lancers did not win a tournament during 2012-13, but did have four top-five finishes, including thirdat the Big South Championships, among seven top-10 team efforts overall and averaged 308.48.

lOnGWOOD UnIVERSITy

With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years,Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning environmentthat extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in 1839 as the FarmvilleFemale Seminary Association, the school was a pioneer first in privateand later in public education. The state of Virginia acquired the school in1884 and renamed it as the Normal School, the first state institution ofhigher learning for women in Virginia. Over the years, the schoolexpanded its curricula and had a succession of names, becomingLongwood College in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April 24,2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. Mark Warnersigned legislation that designated Longwood as a university, effectiveJuly 1, 2002.

The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as LongwoodUniversity offers more than 100 majors, minors and concentrations tomore than 4,800 students. Given its historical roots, LongwoodUniversity enjoys an enviable reputation for teacher preparation. But theexcellence has expanded throughout the university with strong programsin the liberal arts and sciences, business, and professional and pre-profes-sional programs. Today the coeducational, comprehensive state universi-ty comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College of Arts andSciences, the College of Business and Economics, the College ofEducation and Human Services and the College of Graduate andProfessional Studies. The graduate college offers programs in education,communication sciences and disorders, English and sociology, as well asan MBA degree.

Under the leadership of Interim President Marge Connelly,Longwood is committed to developing citizen leaders and provides ameaningful learning environment. Students get an excellent grounding intheory then translate their newly acquired knowledge into action bydoing research, internships, fieldwork and community service.Recognizing the value of experiential learning, Longwood is one of thefew universities in the country to require all students to complete aninternship or similar learning experience before graduation. Additionally,Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to require that every fresh-man have a laptop computer. Technology is integrated throughout thelearning process—an essential element for preparing the leaders oftomorrow.

The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission of develop-ing citizen leaders through a comprehensive array of services andresources. It is a learning-centered environment that fosters intellectualexchange, scholarly communication, cultural enrichment, lifelong infor-mation literacy and creative expression. In addition, the library providesmore than 343,000 titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal sub-scriptions, and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integrated technol-

ogy for information retrieval from libraries throughout the world. Thisstate-of-the-art facility is named in honor of Longwood’s 22nd president,Dr. Janet Daly Greenwood who served from 1981 to 1987.

Longwood provides a range of business services to the region andstate through the Longwood Small Business Development Center, whilethe Longwood Center for the Visual Arts serves as an important and inno-vative study center and cultural resource for the Commonwealth ofVirginia.

Longwood University also has a tremendous economic and culturalimpact on Farmville and the surrounding communities. A study conduct-ed by the Longwood Small Business Development Center estimates thatuniversity employees, students and visitors spent more than $90 millionin 2007—with 66 percent of that amount being spent in Farmville and theeight surrounding counties.

The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Farmville,Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting the charm, beauty andcharacter associated with its long heritage. The campus community wasenhanced with the opening of Brock Commons, a beautiful pedestrianpromenade that provides a central focal point for the Longwood campuswhile eliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains, walk-ways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping contribute to BrockCommons, creating a parklike atmosphere for students, faculty, staff andthe public.

Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicated onApril 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most beloved building andits beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, which burned on April 24,2001, while undergoing a $12 million renovation. The original eightpaintings on the interior of the rotunda dome, created in 1905 by theItalian-born artist Eugene D. Monfalcone of Richmond, have beenreturned to the dome following an extensive restoration that was underway prior to the fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affectionate-ly as “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and returned to itsplace of honor on the main floor beneath the rotunda. The larger-than-lifesculpture is a reproduction of the famous 1870 original created by Frenchsculptor Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu. The statue was a gift of the Classof 1914 and symbolizes Joan of Arc as the patron saint of Longwood.

Ruffner Hall was reconstructed in the classic style based on the orig-inal blueprints and drawings from the state archives in Richmond.

The 83,143-square-foot building houses 22 classrooms, four aca-demic departments, the offices of the Vice President for Academic Affairsand the deans of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies andthe Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, named for benefactors Dr.John R. Cook (Class of 1952) and Dr. Waverly M. Cole.

Between Ruffner Hall and Blackwell Hall, a sunlit hallway formsthe Cole Gallery, which features a collection of more than 500 pieces of19th-century Bohemian glass, Meissen porcelain and English potterydonated to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts by Dr. Cole.Standing guard over this rare collection of decorative arts, with her swordheld high, is the recently renovated equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, or“Joanie on the Pony,” by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington.

Adjoining the Cole Gallery is Blackwell Hall, opened in 1920 as thecampus dining hall. This historic facility, which survived the Great Fireof 2001, was named in the mid-1970s in memory of Dr. Herbert R.Blackwell, professor of English and dean of the college. Today, follow-ing a recent renovation and conversion, Blackwell Hall has a new roleproviding space for social, cultural and educational events for the cam-pus and community. Along with Blackwell Hall, the extensive renova-tion included the adjacent Virginia and Prince Edward meeting rooms.

The Chichester Science Center opened Dec. 6, 2005. The 70,822-square-foot facility includes 23 classrooms and laboratories, 47 facultyoffices and additional research space for both undergraduate and gradu-ate research projects. The building, which was named in 2007 in honor ofJohn H. and Karen Williams Chichester (Class of 1974), features a state-

One of the more popular buildings on campus is the two-story,60,000-square-foot Dorrill Dining Hall located on Brock Commonsacross from the Lankford Student Union. Named in honor of Dr. WilliamFranklin Dorrill, Longwood’s 23rd president, this multipurpose facilitywith its curved, colonnaded portico overlooking Iler Field was the firston campus to utilize geothermal heating and cooling. The flexible interi-or design provides space for banquets, meetings and special events alongwith a Grand Dining Room seating 500 and an arcade seating an addi-tional 700.

In fall 2009, the Center for Communication Studies and Theatreopened a new era for one of Longwood’s fastest-growing programs. Thethree-story, 41,983-square-foot building is home to the Department ofCommunication Studies and Theatre and Longwood Theatre productions,and is situated between the south end of Bedford Hall and Franklin Streetacross from the Hull Education Center. The new building features a high-ly flexible 174-seat “black box” theater, in which the seats and stage canbe moved around. A studio theater, of about 80 seats and also flexible,will be used for student productions. There is also a scene shop, a cos-tume shop and a drafting lab. The center also houses the Jack BlantonGallery, which features more than 160 of the 230 pieces of artworkdonated by Jack Blanton to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts.

More than 1,300 students reside in three campus-managed apart-ment communities: Longwood Landings at Mid-Town Square,Longwood Village and Lancer Village. Some of the amenities and fea-tures of the apartments are private bedrooms (some with private baths),full kitchens (most with dishwashers), washer-dryer units, large livingareas, high-speed Internet and cable television.

COMMOnWEAlTH OF VIRGInIA

The Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13 colonies.Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, Virginia wasEngland’s first successful overseas colony and the site of the first perma-nent English settlement in America. West Virginia was part of Virginiauntil 1863.

Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democratic princi-ples on which the United States was founded. Virginia played an impor-tant role in the American Revolution (1775-1783), and it entered theUnion as the 10th of the original 13 states on June 25, 1788. During theAmerican Civil War (1861-1865) the state’s capital, Richmond, was alsocapital of the Confederacy. The state has long been nicknamed OldDominion.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and JamesMonroe, all Virginians, were founding fathers of the United States andwere among the first five U.S. presidents. Virginia is also the birthplaceof U.S. presidents William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor,and Woodrow Wilson.

Virginia is the 35th largest state in the United States, bounded on theeast by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north and east by Maryland and the

District of Columbia, on the west by West Virginia and Kentucky, and onthe south by Tennessee and North Carolina.

According to the 2010 national census, Virginia’s population was8,001,024, ranking it 12th among the states. Virginia Beach (435,619) isone of the most popular resort destinations on the East Coast, as well asVirginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913) is the state capital and a cen-ter of banking and insurance, and of both retail and wholesale trade. TheNaval Base at Norfolk (229,112) and the Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth(101,377) employ thousands of civilians and military personnel.Hampton (145,017) is important for its aviation activities such asLangley Air Force Base and a National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA) facility. In Newport News (178,281) is a ship-yard that builds naval ships, including aircraft carriers. Alexandria(136,974) is part of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Lynchburg(67,720) is the site of light industries. Roanoke (91,552) is the largestcity in western Virginia.

Civilian and military employment, mostly with the federal govern-ment, is an essential part of the Virginia economy. The Pentagon, whichhouses the Department of Defense, is located in Virginia and is the lead-ing federal employer in the northern part of the state. There are alsoimportant military bases in Virginia, particularly the massive complex ofarmy, navy, and air force bases in the vicinity of Norfolk.

Average January temperatures range from less than 32°F in the westto more than 42°F in southeastern Virginia. Average July temperaturesrange from more than 78°F in the southeast to less than 68°F in the west-ern mountains. Total precipitation ranges from about 35 to more than 50inches. Snowfalls are moderate, except in the mountain regions.

Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusetts andPennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of their officialnames. The delegates to the convention in Williamsburg, when the firstConstitution of Virginia was adopted on June 29, 1776, used common-wealth as the name for the new form of government. It is very likely theyhad in mind the Puritans’ rebellion against the Crown in England morethan 100 years earlier.

Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called common-wealths after independence from Great Britain. The other 10 formercolonies took the name “state,” the term used in the Declaration ofIndependence. Kentucky was once part of Virginia. When Kentuckiansjoined the Union as the 15th state in 1792, it also kept the name common-wealth.
