  • Against All Odds MIT's Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture
    Against all Odds MIT’s Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture * Eran Ben-Joseph, Holly D. Ben-Joseph, Anne C. Dodge1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, City Design and Development Group 77 Massachusetts Ave. 10-485 Cambridge, MA 02139 1 November 2006 * Recipient of the 6th Milka Bliznakov Prize Commendation: International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) This research is aimed at exposing the influential, yet little known and short-lived landscape architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 1900 and 1909. Not only was it one of only two professional landscape architecture education programs in the United States at the time (the other one at Harvard also started at 1900), but the first and only one to admit both women and men. Women students were attracted to the MIT option because it provided excellent opportunities, which they were denied elsewhere. Harvard, for example did not admit women until 1942 and all-women institutions such as the Cambridge School or the Cornell program were established after the MIT program was terminated. Unlike the other schools of that time, the MIT program did not keep women from the well-known academic leaders and male designers of the time nor from their male counterparts. At MIT, women had the opportunity to study directly with Beaux-Art design pioneers such as Charles S. Sargent, Guy Lowell, Désiré Despradelle, and the revered department head Francis Ward Chandler. Historical accounts acknowledged that a woman could “put herself through a stiff course” at MIT including advance science and structural engineering instruction.

    Origins of the Expanding Universe: 1912-1932 ASP Conference Series, Vol. 471 Michael J. Way and Deidre Hunter, eds. c 2013 Astronomical Society of the Pacific What Else Did V. M. Slipher Do? Joseph S. Tenn Department of Physics & Astronomy, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA, 94928, USA Abstract. When V. M. Slipher gave the 1933 George Darwin lecture to the Royal Astronomical Society, it was natural that he spoke on spectrographic studies of planets. Less than one–sixth of his published work deals with globular clusters and the objects we now call galaxies. In his most productive years, when he had Percival Lowell to give him direction, Slipher made major discoveries regarding stars, galactic nebulae, and solar system objects. These included the first spectroscopic measurement of the rotation period of Uranus, evidence that Venus’s rotation is very slow, the existence of reflection nebulae and hence interstellar dust, and the stationary lines that prove the existence of interstellar calcium and sodium. After Lowell’s death in 1916 Slipher con- tinued making spectroscopic observations of planets, comets, and the aurora and night sky. He directed the Lowell Observatoryfrom 1916 to 1954, where his greatest achieve- ments were keeping the observatory running despite very limited staff and budget, and initiating and supervising the “successful” search for Lowell’s Planet X. However, he did little science in his last decades, spending most of his time and energy on business endeavors. 1. Introduction Vesto Melvin Slipher, always referred to and addressed as “V. M.” (Giclas 2007; Hoyt 1980b) came to Flagstaff in August 1901, two months after completing his B.A.
