  • Arthur Ernest Morgan and the Moraine Park School, 1916-1927
    Arthur Ernest Morgan and the Moraine Park School, 1916-1927 Joseph Watras Beginning in 1916, Arthur E. Morgan, an engineer, and several business leaders in Dayton, Ohio created the Moraine Park School to allow students to engage in small business enterprises so they could learn how to apply academic subject matter, to be practical, to maintain industrious- ness, and to become socially responsible. With few variations, Morgan ap- plied this curriculum in schools he built as part of his efforts for labor reform while he constructed dams in Dayton. Educational reformers such as Stanwood Cobb pointed to the Mo- raine Park School as one of the first, most important progressive schools.1 Although the schools that joined the Progressive Education Association followed widely different curriculums, the founders of these schools shared concern for students’ full and free development.2 Even among these in- novative schools, Moraine Park School was unique in that the teachers helped the students start their own small businesses. The hope was that the students would increase their understanding of democracy, refine their moral qualities, and improve their entrepreneurial skills by engaging in their own profit making activities. Although this paper focuses on Morgan’s connection with Moraine Park School, this relationship was brief. In 1921, Morgan moved from Day- ton to Yellow Springs, Ohio to become president of Antioch College. About twelve years later, in 1933, he resigned the presidency of Antioch College to become chairperson of the board and chief engineer the Tennessee Val- ley Authority. He did not remain with the TVA for long.

    Library of Congress Interview with Gordon W. Evans United States Foreign Assistance Oral History Program Foreign Assistance Oral History Collection Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training An interview with Gordon W. Evans Interviewed by Barbara S. Evans Initial interview date: December 9, 1998 Q: I am Barbara Evans, the spouse of Gordon Evans, who I will be interviewing for the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training at their request. My first question is, how did your educational background prepare you for the Foreign Service? Early years and education EVANS: My entrance into the Foreign Service was pure serendipity, but I will explain my background. It started out by growing up in western New York State with a father who was an educator and a mother who was also an educator, although she died at 43 years of age. I did my high schooling in Rochester, New York, at Monroe High for those from Rochester, a very fine public school. I went off to Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1950. It had a work-study program that was introduced by Arthur Ernest Morgan in 1920. He had retired to Yellow Springs in his 80s and was a mentor of mine. He had in early 1950 gone to India to visit President Dr. Rajendra Prasad. In fact, he was invited at his request. The Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Commission established the Indian Institutes of Technology and also proposed the Land Grant Agricultural University involvement in India's agriculture. In Yellow Springs, in addition to a liberal arts college of about 1,200 students, there was the Fels Institute of Behavioral Studies.

  • Foundations of Modern American City Planning
    FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN AMERICAN CITY PLANNING Most historians agree that modern American city planning began in the late 1800s. Some affix the date to 1893 and the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, though there is less orthodoxy regarding this moment than 15 years ago. In contrast to the earlier Colonial planning period (Philadelphia, Savannah, Williamsburg, etc.) wherein plans preceded development, planning in the 1800s generally responded to the urbanization stimulated by the industrial revolution in existing and haphazardly developing cities. The American Industrial Revolution occurred in two waves, the first in 1820-1870 and the second in 1870-1920. The U.S. grew from 7% urban in 1820 to 25% urban in 1870 and 50% urban in 1920. Three social movements categorized as precursors to modern American city planning (public health/sanitary reform, settlement house and housing reform, and parks planning) responded to the challenges and consequences of chaotic urbanization prior to modern planning's beginnings. The City Beautiful movement was a fourth response at about the same time that modern planning began. The Garden Cities Movement simultaneously commenced in England and was imported soon after. American planning grew out of and hoped to provide a broader, more comprehensive vision to these movements. Five interrelated and overlapping 1.

I have also listed other organizational affiliation where the individual served as an officer. I have also concentrated more effort on those who are less we1 I known than those who are prorninent in the historical l iterature.

  • UF Historical Everglades Project Summary - 1
    America's Swamp: The Historical Everglades Project Purposes and Goals of the Project: The University of Florida proposes a 3-year project that will use cost- effective methods to digitize approximately 99,690 pages in six archival collections that document the despoiling of the Everglades and the development of South Florida in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collections selected for this project document early plans for draining the Everglades in the 1880s and 1890s, the dredging of canals and subsequent development of the destroyed wetlands at the start of the 20th century, as well as early attempts by conservationists to preserve the natural resources of the Everglades. The six Everglades collections are existing holdings of UF. All six collections will be digitized in their entirety, although a small number of boxes will be excluded because they are not within the chronological scope of the project. The collections date from 1854 to 1963, but the bulk of the materials included in this project will date from 1877 to 1929. The year 1929 was selected as an end date because it marks the end of the South Florida land boom and the onset of the Great Depression. The project will reproduce approximately 99,690 page images. Collection Extent Exclusions Pages Napoleon B. Broward Papers, 1879-1818 10.75 ln. ft. (14 11,465 boxes; 4 vol.) William Sherman Jennings Papers, 1877- 13.5 ln. ft. (29 32,575 1928 boxes; 16 vol.)
