Robert D. Benedict of the class of 1848 presented in his University oration a comprehensive study of the events which preceded and followed the issuing of that document. And the University oration of 1892 by Professor J. E. Goodrich, 1853, discussed the character and public services of General Ira Allen, the principal Founder of the insti- tution. The Organization of the University as a teaching body dates from the fall of 1800, although the first year was necessarily devoted to preparatory studies. As both the founding and the organization of the institution had been allowed to pass unmarked by any spe- cial observance of the fiftieth year, it was obviously best to reckon from the Semi-Centennial of 1854, which had signalized, not the foundation of the college, but the first completion by a group of students of the prescribed col- legiate course. It will be noted, if comparison be made with other college celebrations, that the date selected loses four full years from the actual life of the University. Har- vard, for example, commemorates the year 1636, while its first degrees were not given till 1642. Relatively then to other American colleges, our semi-centennial observance would seem to have been from four to thirteen years be- lated. : 2 UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT At the beginning of the year 1903-1904 the President of the University designated a committee of the faculty to arrange for the celebration of the Hundredth Anniver- sary of the Graduation of the first class. This General Committee included the President, Professors J. E. Good- rich, S. F. Emerson, Frederick Tupper, Jr., J. W. Votey, George E. Howes (secretary), Lyman Allen, John B. Wheeler and Mr. H. H. Cloudman. The plan outlined after several conferences was approved by the Faculty De- cember 16, 1903, and the committee was empowered to carry it into effect. The distinctive feature in the scheme was the discussion on Tuesday of commencement week by graduates of this University of the theme, "The Influ- ence of the University in the World." The word university was meant to be taken in its most general sense, and the survey to include the higher education in its present wide and varied development. The following auxiliary committees also worked early and late and helped to make the Centennial Commencement the success it was Committee on Entertainment: Charles E. Allen, 1859, Edmund C. Mower, 1892. Rev. George Y. Bliss, 1889, Frank R. Wells, 1893, Frank H. Crandall, 1886, Henry B. Shaw, 1896. Committee on Ceremonial: Professors Frederick Tup- per, Jr., George W. Benedict, James N. Jenne, Carleton B. Stetson, and Capt. Lawrence S. Miller. Citizens' Committee: Bradley B. Smalley, Daniel W. Robinson, Charles P. Smith, William J. Van Patten, Henry L. Ward, 1882. Press Committee: Walter B. Gates, 1881. Joseph Auld, Rev. Evan Thomas. : SKETCH OF COMMEMORATION 3 The invitation sent to the institutions and individuals asked to participate was in the following form MDCCCIV MDCCCCIV The President, Trustees and Faculties of THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT request the honor of the presence of at the exercises connected with THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION July third to seventh, nineteen hundred and four The favor of a reply is requested The graduates and friends of the University rallied in full ranks to attend the festival. Some of the older men felt a keen satisfaction in inspecting the new buildings and laboratories of the institution, while all were soberly jubilant over the gains of recent years, both in attend- ance and in appliances for instruction. A spirit of con- fidence and hope characterized all the gatherings of the week. The city of Burlington shared in the hospitality and the felicitations of the time, and by its committee and by the hearty co-operation of individual citizens did much to give effect to the plans of those who acted for the Uni- versity. The State and City governments were represented in the various public exercises,, and the distinguished guests who participated by special invitation added greatly to the enjoyment and the impressiveness of the com- memoration. The services of Sunday, July the third, were preluded by the Kingsley Prize Speaking at the College Street church at half past seven on Saturday evening. 4 university of vermont Baccalaureate Sunday At four o'clock on Sunday in the same church came the sermon to the graduating- classes of all the depart- ments by the President, the thirty-third in the series given by him. After the singing by the congregation led by a double quartette from the graduating class, of R. Bax- ter's stirring hymn, "Ye holy angels bright," Professor Goodrich read the Scripture lesson from the Epistle to the Hebrews and offered prayer. Mrs. George E. Howes sang Handel's air, "He shall feed his flock," after which President Buckham spoke from John ii. 25 on "The Ideal Life Real," with special application at the close of the discourse to the candidates for graduation. The services were brought to a close by the whole congregation join- ing in the old German choral, "Now thank we all our God," and the benediction by the President. At half past seven in the evening the anniversary of the University Young Men's Christian Association (suc- cessor and heir of the Society for Religious Inquiry) was held in the old First Church. An anthem by the choir was followed by a lesson from the Scriptures read by Rev. G. G. Atkins, the pastor of the parish, a bass solo by Dr. J. C. Hindes, and prayer by Rev. George F. Her- rick, D. D., of Constantinople, of the class of 1856. Then, *'( after a congregational hymn—Bishop Coxe's ) where are kings and empires now"—Rev. George B. Spalding, D. D., of Syracuse, N. Y., also of the class of 1856, was introduced as the speaker of the evening. The theme of his address was. "The Challenge of the Twentieth Cen- tury." After the singing by the congregation of Luther's hymn, "A mighty fortress is our God," the benediction was given by Dr.

  • Resolving the Incommensurability of Eugenics & the Quantified Self
    Eugenics & the Quantified Self Resolving the Incommensurability of Eugenics & the Quantified Self Gabi Schaffzin The “quantified self,” a cultural phenomenon which emerged just before the 2010s, embodies one critical underlying tenet: self-tracking for the purpose of self-improvement through the identification of behavioral and environmental variables critical to one’s physical and psychological makeup. Of course, another project aimed at systematically improving persons through changes to the greater population is eugenics. Importantly, both cultural phenomena are built on the predictive power of correlation and regression—statistical technologies that classify and normalize. Still, a closer look at the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century eugenic projects and the early-twenty-first century proliferation of quantified self devices reveals an inherent incommensurability between the fundamental tenets underlying each movement. Eugenics, with its emphasis on hereditary physical and psychological traits, precludes the possibility that outside influences may lead to changes in an individual’s bodily or mental makeup. The quantified self, on the other hand, is predicated on the belief that, by tracking the variables associated with one’s activities or environment, one might be able to make adjustments to achieve physical or psychological health. By understanding how the technologies of the two movements work in the context of the predominant form of Foucauldian governmentality and biopower of their respective times, however, the incommensurability between these two movements might in fact be resolved. I'm Gabi Schaffzin from UC San Diego and I'm pursuing my PhD in Art History, Theory, and Criticism with an Art Practice concentration. My work focuses on the designed representation of measured pain in a medical, laboratory, and consumer context.

  • America's Economic Way Of
    |America’s Economic Way of War How did economic and financial factors determine how America waged war in the twentieth century? This important new book exposes the influence of economics and finance on the questions of whether the nation should go to war, how wars would be fought, how resources would be mobilized, and the long-term consequences for the American economy. Ranging from the Spanish–American War to the Gulf War, Hugh Rockoff explores the ways in which war can provide unique opportunities for understanding the basic principles of economics as wars produce immense changes in monetary and fiscal policy and so provide a wealth of infor- mation about how these policies actually work. He shows that wars have been more costly to the United States than most Americans realize as a substantial reliance on borrowing from the public, money creation, and other strategies to finance America’s war efforts have hidden the true cost of war. hugh rockoff is a professor of Economics at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His publications include numerous papers in professional journals, The Free Banking Era: A Re-examination (1975), Drastic Measures: A History of Wage and Price Controls in the United States (1984), and a textbook, History of the American Economy (2010, with Gary Walton).

  • Chasing Fame from the Saddle: the Odyssey of the Overland Westerners
    1 CHASING FAME FROM THE SADDLE: THE ODYSSEY OF THE OVERLAND WESTERNERS By Samantha Szesciorka Introduction In 1915, four men arrived on horseback at the towering gates of the Panama­Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. They were dressed in their cleanest cowboy duds and had even given their horses a good bath and brushing before they arrived. The men sat tall in their saddles as their horses walked through the crowded thoroughfare, a shaggy black dog trotting behind them. They had reason to promenade – they were taking the final steps of an unprecedented equestrian journey. The riders were on their last dollar, road weary, and homesick, but nonetheless optimistic. The Panama­Pacific International Exposition was to be the grand homecoming of the Overland Westerners, as they called themselves. After three years on the trail, the men had ridden more than 20,000 miles to visit every state capitol in the U.S., and they were sure that fame and fortune now awaited them. However, when they reached their destination at the Expo grounds, they were devastated to discover that acclaim is not necessarily guaranteed for great success. Overshadowed by the myriad of wonders that the Expo offered, the Overland Westerners found they could not compete. The public simply wasn’t interested in four men with nothing better to do than ride around on horses. Defeated and disillusioned, the men returned home penniless. The Overland Westerners were promptly forgotten. 2 The Overland Westerners were neither the first nor the last to undertake an equestrian expedition across the United States. During the 20th century, many long riders set out to find adventure in the saddle.

Economic history at MIT reached its peak in the 1970s with three teachers of the subject to graduates and undergraduates alike. It declined until economic history vanished both from the faculty and the graduate program around 2010. The cost of this decline to current education and scholarship is suggested at the end of the narrative. Key words: economic history, MIT economics, Kindleberger, Domar, Costa, Acemoglu JEL codes: B250, N12 Author contact: [email protected] 1 The Rise and Fall of Economic History at MIT Peter Temin This paper tells the story of economic history at MIT during the twentieth century, even though roughly half the century precedes the formation of the MIT Economics Department. Economic history was central in the development of economics at the start of the century, but it lost its primary position rapidly after the Second World War, disappearing entirely a decade after the end of the twentieth century. I taught economic history to MIT graduate students in economics for 45 years during this long decline, and my account consequently contains an autobiographical bias.

These design changes are the focus of the Michiana Humane Society house tour on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The earliest home on this year’s tour is a colonial revival showpiece on Lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, designed by Ahlgrim & Boonstra and originally built for Michigan City industri- alist Count Adolph Van Spanje. In 1923, he began acquiring property that eventually extend- ed from one street to another, a total of six or seven lots, so as to have an impressive setting with plen- ty of space for lush gardens, parking areas and driveways. Today owned by John Leinweber and Jim Laughlin, the home is entered through an elab- orate, paneled front door embellished with fan- light and sidelights.

  • HUGHES Falv1ily of CAPE ~1A Y COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
    HUGHES FAlv1ILY OF CAPE ~1A Y COUNTY, NEW JERSEY 1650 - - 1950 A genealogy of the descendants of Humphrey Hughes of Long Island 1650 and later of Cape lvfay County, New Jersey HUGHES FAMILY Early genealogists have said that our family is of Welsh origin and about which there seems to be no doubt, indeed, the name of the progenitor of our family, Humphrey Hughes, very definitely designates Welsh origin. Welsh names derive from a son who would adopt his father's name as a last name and add "S" or "es". Thus Humphrey ap Hugh, as he was known in Wales, became Humphrey Hughes. William ap William became William Williams and thus we account for so many double names in persons of Welsh descent. The collecting of the genealogy of the Hughes Family has indeed been a pleasure. It has been carried on as an avocation covering about fifteen years. When I began the collection of this data, it was not with the thought of produc­ ing a genealogy, but just to satisfy my own desire to know more about our early ancestors in this country. It was such a very interesting hobby that I continued to search and collect until I found that I had accumulated valuable genealogical information which it is probable that no other person would ever put together and for the purpose of preserving this information for posterity, I am putting it in print. There are other Hughes families in New Jersey which have no connection with ours and I have not attempted to include them, but have confined my work to the direct descendants of our first ancestor, Humphrey Hughes.

  • Tim Goodale's Frontier Contributions to Idaho Were Quite Significant Editor
    I-OCTA Members have Membership in National OCTA. All Dues Paid OCTA, Box 1019, Independence, MO 64051-0519 XX Issue 1 January 2008 James McGill, Editor [email protected] 208 467 4853/ Cell 250 6045 _________________________________ Tim Goodale’s Frontier Contributions to Idaho were Quite Significant Editor The many contributions that Timothy Goodale made to growth in the West, and to the early supports for human livelihood and provisions were important then and now. When he led his wagon train from an area near Boulder, Colorado, and across Wyoming, Idaho and Eastern Oregon, his main intent was just to get certain emigrants to the destinations they had chosen. Published reports of this accomplishment have indicated that he led the train beginning from the area of Fort Hall on the Snake River in Idaho, but that has now been proven as a short- changing of the final big project in his life. He had started with only a few miners’ wagons, increased to a very large train as others joined him, and decreased by half when many chose to go northerly to Montana. Then 14 miles west of Arco, Idaho, before beginning to follow the treacherous volcanic fields along the southern end of the Pioneer Mountains, grew again to the largest train ever to cross Idaho. In the Boise Valley the train then again divided back down to the component trains that had joined him about 200 miles earlier. He finished into Oregon with about 70 wagons. Another development greatly aided his trail contributions. GOODALES CUTOFF THROUGH ROCKS NEAR MIDVALE HILL, A ROUGH PART THAT WAS LITTLE USED AFTER 1862 The opening of many mining fields in Idaho in late They had traveled southerly down the Boise River 1862 and into 1863, just in time to supplement his from the Boise Basin where they had found gold.
