My report carries a distinct note of satisfaction and optimism, tempered, however, by a realization of the grave responsibilities which rest on the entire constituency of the Institute, but especially on its Corporation and administrative officers, in order that it may perform its functions in the unsettled future with the greatest possible effectiveness. Due to the able and devoted work of the Treasurer and the Finance Committee, to the splendid codperation of the staff, to the Loan Fund, and the curtailment or consolidation of certain activities, the Institute has been able satisfactorily to meet the financial difficulties arising from reduced

    THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

    Trade and Crisis in the Making of Political Institutions

    GLOBALIZATION AND STATE DEVELOPMENT: TRADE AND CRISIS IN THE MAKING OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Don R. Leonard January, 2014 © 2014 Don R. Leonard GLOBALIZATION AND STATE DEVELOPMENT: TRADE AND CRISIS IN THE MAKING OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS Don R. Leonard, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 Political institutions have been shown to play a key role in determining economic outcomes. Where do these institutions come from, and how do they change over time? Examining the puzzle of institutional divergence on the island of Hispaniola, this dissertation identifies conditions under which international economic crises lead to the emergence of a developmental state. Haiti adjusted to the global economic crisis of the 1930s through rent-seeking policies that reinforced existing patterns of state predation and economic decay. Why, despite many similarities with Haiti including geography, regime type, and agro-export dependency, did the Dominican Republic pursue developmentalist policies of import substitution when adjusting to the same crisis— policies that transformed the economic purpose of state institutions and culminated in the fastest growing economy in Latin America over the second half of the twentieth century? Among non-industrialized countries I find that the costs of a prolonged foreign exchange crisis, and the import scarcities that ensue, are borne disproportionately by the middle classes. I also find that the ability of markets in non-industrialized countries to replace foreign imports with domestically produced substitutes is constrained by investment coordination problems.

    Dr. Charles Franklin Brooks at Blue Hill Observatory

    Dr. Charles Franklin Brooks at Blue Hill Observatory The Evolution of a Career, a Weather Institution, and the Growth of the American Meteorological Society Dr. Charles Franklin Brooks’ Early Years and Education Dr. Charles F. Brooks was the second son born to Morgan Brooks The elder Brooks was a Professor of Electrical Engineering. Charles grew up in St Paul/Minneapolis At age 16 he entered Harvard University after one year of studying engineering at the University of Illinois Urbanna He earned his A.B. in 1911 at age 20 At Harvard he studied climate and meteorology under Robert DeCourcy Ward and as a junior he first came to Blue Hill Observatory for a research course under the tutelage of Professor Abbott Lawrence Rotch founder and Director of the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory in Milton. He earned his A.M. at Harvard in 1912 and was awarded a Ph.D. in Meteorology in 1914 – only the second such degree in the US Brooks apparently hiked Blue Hill for the first time 3/12/1911 and began his research studies at Blue Hill Observatory in the Fall of 1911 CF Brooks from youth to his Graduation from Harvard Dated 15 June, 1911 the top entry reads “An aeroplane carrying Messrs. Atwood and Reynolds maneuvered about the summit of Blue Hill at 7:40 A.M. today, at one time coming within 25 feet of the top of the Observatory tower. The trip was made from the Squantum aviation field, to which the aeroplane returned safely after encircling the Atwood flying at Squantum Harvard Airfield hill three times.
