Hancock County Publishing Co., Printers 1893 INTRODUCTIO . The custom of sending out cyclostyled reports of each alumna meeting, while it served its purpose for a time, proved this year a useless burden. The expense entailed was large, and resulted at last in emptying the treasury. A replenishing of the treasury for such a purpose did not seem to be justified by the interest that the absent alumnae took in these reports. Therefore in March it was decided that in the future, except for special purposes, no cyclo- styled reports should be sent out, but that a general re- port should be printed annually, and a copy sent to each alumna. This report will be written by the secretary, and will embody the record of all business worthy of preservation; the reports of the standing committees ; and the report of the treasurer. Perhaps in time other mat- ters of interest may be added. The secretary will sub- mit the report for approval to the executive commit- tee, and also to the Association at the June meeting. This year the Association has permitted her to publish it, with the aid of the executive committee, without sub- mitting it at that meeting. It is earnestly hoped by the executive committee that all members of the Association will read the annual report, for it will give them accurate information every year in regard to the Association and in regard to the college at larfje. I. GENERAL REPORT, During the" academic year 1892-1893 important innova- tions have been made in the organization of the Associa-- •tian, innovations which will in time reach beyond the mere organization, and increase the usefulness and influence of the Association at large. The chief innovation has- been the formation of a com- mittee to confer with the President and Dean on all mat- . ters of interest connected witl] the college. This coni- mittee, known as "The Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College," was accept- ed, by the Association on January 6, as the official means of communication, for the present, between the college au- thorities and the Alumnae Association ; but it was mutually understood that when it should become more practicable to change. the charter " of the college, an effort" should be made to secure alumnae representation on the board of ' • trustees. ^ Resolutions were made as follows: , "That said committee petition the President and Dean: (i) To recognize it as the official means of communica- tion with the Association to appoint stated times" for ; (2) conference; (3) to grant to it power to call special meet- ings, for any important'business. "That said committee consist of seven members and the president of the Association ex officio, any regular member not officially connected with the college-being eligible for nomination, and the Association deeming it advisable that several mernbers be chosen from among those living at a . ' distance from Bryn Mawr. " "That said committee be elected by ballot of the whole Association, -written nominations being made, at any meet- ing of the Association. — — 5 "That the term of office be four years, except for those elected at the first election, for which election provision shall be made by special motion." This provision was that those elected at the first election should serve one, two, three, or four years according to the number of votes they received. By the end of January a committee was elected, which petitioned the President and Dean according to the instruc- tions it had received from the Association. The Presi- dent and Dean granted the petition, and, in accordance with the special request of the committee, appointed as stated times for conference the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, or a day near that date, to be named at the discretion of the committee, and the day after the conferring of degrees, or a day near that date, to be named at the discretion of the committee. Upon the basis of this petition and answer a document was drawn up in May, called "An Agreement Concerning the Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College". The document, of which the col- lege and the Alumnae Association each possesses a copy, is engrossed, sealed, and signed, on behalf of the college, by the 'President and Dean, and, on behalf of the Alumnae Association, by the academic committee. Another important change has been that effected in the conference committee. The executive committee, perceiv- ing the need of a closer union between the alumnae and the undergraduates, suggested, in December, that the Alumnae Association should invite the undergraduate as- sociation to appoint a standing committee to confer at stated intervals with its conference committee on any mat- ters that would be of interest to both associations, and could be advantageously discussed by them. The execu- tive committee urged that such conferences should not be confined to the discussion of questions which might need the vote and action of both associations, but should also include the discussion of questions of general interest, and . — 6— . '. an intcrchangre of information about the two associations. Through full- reports brought in by . these committees, the executive committee hoped that the associations would be kept in touch' with each other, and would thus learn to ' give each other mutual aid. The Alumnae Association adopted the suggestion of the executive committee in March. An invitation to appoint a corrimittee was sent to the Undergraduate Asso- ciation, and a very cordial acceptance was received. • The undergraduates have provided that the president of their association and a member of the executive board' of the Self-government Association shall always be mem- bers of their committee. Still another important change has been the admission of Bryn Mawr doctors of philosophy to membership in the Association. This change was proposed in November, and, after an investigation into the action of other colleges and full discussion, was adopted in June. Amendments have been made to the constitution to ad- mit of the introduction of the above-mentioned changes in the organization of the Association. In- January the Association " authorized the chair to ap- point a committee to draw up a plan for collecting statistics" regarding the occu-pations, health, etc, of the alumnae. The .chair asked the executive committee to serve in this capacity. The following paragraphs are taken from the report of the executive committee presented by the presi- - dent on June i : , " *'The committee has .carefully reviewed the two reports, one ' by the. Association of Collegiate Alumnae, entitled: 'Health Statistics, of Women College Graduates,' the other by Mrs. Henry Sidgwick, entitled 'Health Statistics of Women Students of Cambridge'and Oxford,' and- has look- ed over the lists of questions that are answered by'the en- tering students of Bryn Mawr, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley colleges. At the fall meeting the committee will submit a proposed schedule of questions to be sent to every Bryn alumna. The object of these questions is, of course, Mawr , : — 7 — to obtain data from which, at some future time, to make out statistical tables that shall give accurate information as to the advantages and disadvantages of college life at Bryn Mavvr, especially in reference to health. These tables may be compared with those of other women's colleges. "The committee would suggest that all the data referring to childhood, parentage, etc., and to life during the col- lege course be obtained from the college record. The committee would further suggest that next year a secre- tary from each class be appointed to collect each year the addresses of the alumnae and items of personal interest for publication in the annual report." In April the Undergraduate Association brought the mat- ter of a college pin before the Alumnae Association through the conference committees. The point at issue, which the alumnae were asked to decide, was whether there should be one general college pin, or separate pins for the under- graduates and the alumnae. The executive committee was obliged to assume the responsibility of the decision. The following paragraph is quoted from its report "The" members of the committee decided that there should be a college pin. that could be worn by alumnae, and by any student of Bryn Mavvr college, graduate or un- dergraduate ; and they appointed the following committee to meet the committee of the undergraduates to decide upon the design of the pin : Marian Wright, Mathilde Weil, Sophia Weygandt. This committee met a commit- tee of six of the undergraduates, and after a thorough dis- cussion of six or eight designs, decided upon a compro- mise. The pi ice of the pins is to" be $3.50 each, and they may be obtained after June 9, 1893, ^^om the president, Marian Wright, on receipt of this sum." In June the alumnae who are member? of the biological department of the college urged that as much of the alum- nae fund as there was on hand should be appropriated for the building of a biological greenhouse, contributions to which had already been made from other sources.

  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania 1 Dear CTSO Leaders, As the leader of a statewide trade association dedicated to the growth and development of the technology industry in Pennsylvania, I am keenly aware of the need for a highly-skilled, well-trained, and motivated workforce. At the Technology Council of Pennsylvania, we are strong advocates for advancements in and the promotion of S.T.E.M. education, as well as career and technical training, in order to prepare our young people to succeed in the 21st Century, global economy. That is why we support the work of Pennsylvania’s Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) and the critical role they play in today’s education community. For nearly 70 years, CTSOs have been able to extend teaching and learning through a variety of targeted programs, public-private partnerships and leadership development initiatives that produce technically advanced, employable students to meet the needs of this country’s diverse employer base. Today, the work of CTSOs has never been more valuable as our economy demands workers with a strong understanding of science, technology, engineering and math concepts as well as hands-on technical expertise. The co-curricular approach of CTSOs uniquely positions these organizations to enhance student skill sets and better prepare them to excel in their chosen careers. In order for Pennsylvania and the United States to not only compete, but succeed on a global stage, we need to ensure that the very technology and innovation companies that are driving this global economy have the availability of a well-qualified workforce.

  • Trinity College Bulletin, November 1951
    1-1RINITY COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS ISSUE NOVEMBER 1951 HARTFORD CONNECTICUT Bulletin President's Page To Trinity Alumni: By this time we are well into the one hundred twenty-ninth academic year of the College. In a few more days, half of the 1951 football season will have gone by, the Sophomore Hop will have been held or thrown (annually, the proper verb becomes apparent only in retrospect ), and even the hardiest of our undergraduates will have formed the conclusion that the climate of Hartford in late October calls for clothing a little more substantial than summer sports jackets. Text books have all been purchased, R.O.T.C. uniforms have come or are arriving, no more changing of courses is permitted and classes have thus settled down to something like a normal routine, and Dean Clarke's very commendable social program for the Freshmen has shown the Class of 1955 the road to N'ohhampton. The fraternities have chosen their pledges, and both groups are justifiably happy about the re­ sults. For reasons that evade my comprehension, students still ride in automobiles from the houses on Vernon Street to the Chapel and to classes. In short, the old order has not changed so very much since the days of many of you. There is, however, one distinctive aspect of the fall of 1951 which all of you, if you come here, would perceive and, I am sure, regret. We do not have enough dormitory space. There are 922 undergraduates registered at the College this year, 614 of whom are in residence on the campus.

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

Ook de andere hier weergegeven inzichten over gezondheid en gezondheidszorg vanuit een economisch, sociaal en politiek perspectief zijn weinig bekend. In dit boek gaat het over de meest belangrijke ideeën van sociale wetenschappers en economen over gezondheid en gezondheidszorg, beginnend met Paracelsus en eindigend met Schumpeter. Behandeld worden grondleggende ideeën en concepten van Wolff, Justi, Roscher, Menger, Schmoller, Bücher, Oppenheimer en Althoff. De conclusie luidt dat hun bijdragen wel deels zijn te herkennen in de moderne gezondheidseconomie, maar dat wij toch ook belangrijke invalshoeken, die zouden voortvlooeien uit hun werk, vandaag missen.

DE (1833) LABOR force participation in relation to population as a whole did not change materially during peacetime periods of rising income and high employment in the five countries studied. The most pronounced rise was in Germany; the least, in Great Britain. And there was no associa- tion between the rather minor changes in participation and the sub- stantial increases in real income that occurred in the English-speaking countries.' Only in Germany were there no significant increases in income per worker over the half century or so ending around 1950. Total Labor Force in Five Countries in the Last Half Century For this study, major attention was focused on the periods since 1890 in the United States, 1911 in Great Britain and Canada, 1896 in New Zealand, and 1895 in Germany. And for the United States and Great Britain, the study went as far back as early 1800.
