  • Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution Of
    Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution of Oceanography Compiled by Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives April 23, 2007 The first cottages were built at Scripps in 1913, and residents lived there until around 1959, when the University asked that the cottages all be vacated. The reader will notice that this is not a complete residential history; this information was gleaned from SIO Office of the Business Manager accounting books, indicating who paid the rent on various cottages over time. At the end is a partial list of children who lived in these cottages. The cottage numbering follows the numbering scheme on a “Map of a Portion of the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, Showing Suggested Improvements, January 1919” which is located in the SIO Office of the Business Manager oversize files. For this history, a numbered 1949 aerial photograph of Scripps shows the cottage locations. Cottage #15 no longer existed in 1949, so its location is drawn onto this aerial photograph.

  • The Automobile in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y IN OMMENTARY HE WENTIES* T T C Indiana Historical Society traffic safety poster, ca. 1925 — THE AUTOMOBILE — “Why on earth do you need to study what’s changing this country?” exclaimed an Indiana resident during an interview in 1929. “I can tell you what’s happening in just four letters: A-U-T-O!” What more was there to say? Plenty, it seemed, as the media of the day were filled with commentary on the a-u-t-o and where it was taking America at breakneck speed. Darrow was the famous defense attorney in the Scopes Trial, the Leopold-Loeb murder trial, and Clarence Darrow other headline-dominating cases of the 1920s. In his memoir he mused on a range of social issues. The Story of My Life The day of the horse is gone. The automobile has driven him from the 1932 roads. The boys and men and women of this generation must have automobiles. Those who manufacture them and sell them have made fortunes unknown in any former age. Every automobile costs more to sell than to make. No one can even guess at the cost of this new invention to the country or the change that it has brought to life. New roads have been built at great expense so men may ride quickly to some point so they can ride back more quickly if possible. Finance companies have helped the poor to get further into debt; an automobile complex demanding haste, change, and going and coming, has taken possession of mankind.
