This promises to be an intellectually stimulating, socially exciting meeting—the largest the MSS or NCSA ever sponsored! In our theme, Communities in an Age of Social Transformation, we used the word commu- nities because we believe it essential for sociology to come to terms with the myriad ways and reasons that people bind themselves to others. At the same time, a person would be hard-pressed to find any topic of interest to sociologists that cannot be linked to the idea of community. In our original thematic statement, we noted that framing sociological topics in terms of community raises a fundamental sociological question: What are the bases of social solidarity? This question, in turn, engenders another: How is society possible? We hope you will find the varied ways that sociologists respond to these questions embedded throughout the meetings. We also want to draw your attention to the plenary events: Keynote speaker Ann Swidler will talk Friday afternoon on “Visions of Community: Chiefs, Churches and

Streets with carved doorways where the sunset beams Flooded old fanlights and small window-panes, And Georgian steeples topped with gilded vanes— These were the sights that shaped my childhood dreams.

  • EEL RIVER VALLEY by Victoria B
    EEL RIVER VALLEY by Victoria B. Engstrom Pilgrim Society Notes, Series One, Number 23, 1976 First, there is the river. Its headwaters are springs and small ponds above Russell Mill Pond, feeding into the pond. It leaves this pond by going over a dam about 20 feet high and runs down through a culvert under route 3, then widens to become Hayden’s Pond. This pond is also held back by a dam where the water falls about 10 feet from a flume into a pool at its base, then wanders down to Sandwich Road, goes under the bridge, and is joined by its tributary, Shingle Brook, about 500 yards downstream. Shingle Brook originates with Cold Bottom and Forges Pond, flows down to and under the bridge on Old Sandwich Road, and widens to become Howland’s Pond. It drops over the dam at Clifford Road, goes under the road and winds through the meadow to meet with Eel River, where they become one stream. Then, as Eel River, the stream flows roughly parallel with Clifford Road, under the River Street bridge, past Plimoth Plantation, under the Warren Avenue bridge, and then about a half mile inside the beach to its mouth below Manter’s Point. This is a happy river. Men and boys fish in it, children row on it, catch herring from it, and fall into it. Birds of infinite variety nest in the shrubbery along its banks; ducks find shelter under the old willow trees. Migrating geese and blue herons rest and feed, and I have seen a deer drinking from the bank on an autumn evening.

Specifically it was found that among three types of techno­ logical settings, the mechanized production system is most conducive to worker alienation and the craft production and automated production r systems are much less so. Alienation is conceived as the social-psychological separation of a subject from some.referent as a result of certain conditions. Functional differentiation* is related to workers' feelings of alienation and the work situation is the referent from which a person is alienated. The feelings of alienation occur when the worker perceives that the structure of the workplace limits his job-related autonomy and control (powerlessness); cuttails knowledge of inter­ relationships among jobs. (meaninglessness); and limits :the *Functional differentiation is used interchangably with division of labor and functional specialization.

Geiger Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee In Charge of Graduate Programs in Higher Education Lisa R. Lattuca Professor of Higher Education Roger L. Williams Affiliate Professor of Higher Education William A. Blair Professor of History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract This dissertation examines the formation, reformation, and standardization of land-grant colleges in the Northeastern United States during the last four decades of the nineteenth century. It is a history that explores the turbulent origins of land-grant colleges in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. A coalition of gentlemen farmers from state agricultural societies, scientists trained in German universities, and economically-minded statesman led the region‘s land-grant movement in the 1860s and 1870s. Men like Daniel Coit Gilman, Evan Pugh, Samuel Johnson, Andrew Dickson White, and Justin Morrill were intent on building institutions that could nurture scientific study and advance agricultural, industrial, and national development. These educational reformers wanted colleges with advanced curricula and stiff admissions standards, which would graduate leaders for a new economy in science, engineering, and business.
