He is called the \"Father of the Bill of Rights\". For all of these reasons he is considered to be one of the \"Founding Fathers\" of the United States. Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which detailed specific rights of citizens. In addition to anti-federalist Patrick Henry, he was later a leader of those who pressed for the addition of explicitly stated individual rights as part of the U.S. Constitution, and did not sign the document in part because it lacked such a statement. His efforts eventually succeeded in convincing the Federalists to modify the Constitution and add the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments of the Constitution). The Bill of Rights is based on Mason's earlier Virginia Declaration of Rights."," Mason served at the Virginia Convention in Williamsburg in 1776. During this time he created drafts of the first declaration of rights and state constitution in the Colonies. Both were adopted after committee alterations; the Virginia Declaration of Rights was adopted June 12, 1776, and the Virginia Constitution was adopted June 29, 1776."," Mason was appointed in 1786 to represent Virginia as a delegate to a Federal Convention, to meet in Philadelphia for the purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. He served at the Federal Convention in Philadelphia from May to September 1787 and contributed significantly to the formation of the Constitution. \"He refused to sign the Constitution, however, and returned to his native state as an outspoken opponent in the ratification contest.\" One objection to the proposed Constitution was that it lacked a \"declaration of rights\". As a delegate to Virginia's ratification convention, he opposed ratification without amendment. Among the amendments he desired was a bill of rights. This opposition, both before and during the convention, may have cost Mason his long friendship with his neighbor George Washington, and is probably a leading reason why George Mason became less well-known than other U.S. founding fathers in later years. On December 15, 1791, the U.S. Bill of Rights, based primarily on George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights, was ratified in response to the agitation of Mason and others."," At the convention he was one of the five most frequent speakers and he always spoke with confidence. He believed that slave trade should be abolished, even though he himself owned slaves; he believed in the disestablishment of the church; and he was a strong anti-federalist. He wanted a three-part government, but he also wanted very powerful state governments."," An important issue for him in the convention was the bill of rights. He didn't want the United States to be like England. He foresaw sectional strife and feared the power of government."," Mason died peacefully at his home, Gunston Hall, on October 7, 1792. Gunston Hall, located in Mason Neck, Virginia, is now a tourist attraction. The George Mason Memorial is located in East Potomac Park, Washington, D.C., near the Thomas Jefferson Memorial; it was dedicated on April 9, 2002.

In 1919, he was assigned as resident lecturer to the new Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. In 1929, he resigned from the United States Public Health Service in order to serve full-time as professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. From 1931 to 1934, he was Dean of Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health.\n \nWade Hampton Frost was a pioneer in the study of water pollution. He also conducted important research on poliomyelitis, yellow fever, influenza, diptheria, and tuberculosis. Throughout his professional life, Frost emphasized development of the epidemiological method in the investigation of disease. His work helped transform epidemiology from a descriptive to an analytic science and contributed to the establishment of epidemiology as a distinct field of medical research.","Processed by: Historical Collections Staff","The Wade Hampton Frost papers includes assorted material about the professional and personal life of Wade Hampton Frost from 1880 to 1938. Also included are research notes and information collected by Frost's daughter, Susan Frost Parrish, from the time of his death in 1938 to 1984.

It depicts English claims to \"Virginia,\" which at the time encompassed both modern Virginia and North Carolina. Created in the wake of the failed English settlement at Roanoke Island, De Bry's color engraving visualizes English understanding of indigenous political communities such as the Secotan, Chawanook, and Weapemeoc peoples. At right, the ships heading into the Chesapeake Bay suggest future pathways for settlement and commerce.\"  -- Mapping the \"New World\": Highlights from the Paul Schott Stevens Collection","\"Produced for the French Navy, the rare chart displayed here was the best available chart of this region for the time, and was used by all naval forces involved in combat during the American Revolutionary War. The information on this very detailed chart was based primarily on the work of American Anthony Smith, a local Chesapeake Bay pilot of St. Mary's County. The chart was consulted by Admiral de Grasse in his victory over the British off the Chesapeake Capes on September 5, 1781.\" https://collections.leventhalmap.org/search/commonwealth:z603vv10h","\"Originally published in 1753, the Fry-Jefferson map was the most accurate map of Virginia at that time. This French version was printed at the beginning of the French and Indian War, which began when Governor Robert Dinwiddie ordered George Washington and his Virginia troops to drive the French off British-claimed land. Most of the indigenous names featured in John Smith's map are gone, replaced by Anglo-American settlements.\" -- Mapping the \"New World\": Highlights from the Paul Schott Stevens Collection","\"Europeans had a more precise understanding of North America and the Caribbean by the early 18th century. Guillaume De L'Isle drew on earlier French expeditions into the continental interior to create the first accurate map of the Mississippi River. His use of color falsely implies fixed borders between competing European and indigenous peoples.\" -- Mapping the \"New World\": Highlights from the Paul Schott Stevens Collection","\"Thirty years after Martin Waldseemüller printed one of the first maps of the Americas, Lorenz Fries published an updated European perspective on the New World. \"Terra Incognita\" on Waldseemüller's map has become \"Terra Nova\" on Fries's. The Castilian flag marks Spanish territorial claims in the Caribbean, while the continent's indigenous people are caricatured as primitive, reflecting common European misperceptions of native cultures.\" -- Mapping the \"New World\": Highlights from the Paul Schott Stevens Collection","The first printed map in English to show California as an island, with flat northern coast.","\"From Theodore de Bry's Grand Voyages, Dreyzehender Theil Americae published by Matheus Merian. This German version of Captain John Smith's map of Virginia depicts the English colony shortly after Jamestown's 1607 founding. Powhatan, the principal chief of the indigenous confederacy that dominated the region, presides in the upper left corner. The rivers command our attention. The English expected to settle the interior by following waterways upstream. In time, tobacco plantations worked by indentured servants and slaves replaced the indigenous settlements that dotted these rivers.
