  • The Politician Truth Will Ultimately Prevail Where There Is Pains Taken to Bring It to Light
    The Politician Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light. —George Washington Obvious pressures to smother and ignore The Politician since its official publication are unmatched in the history of the American book world. Now that this explosive volume is available to anyone who will read and judge for himself, the hundreds of periodicals which were quoting and misquoting from it regularly for two years have failed to give it a review or a mention of any nature. There have been many case histories showing the influence exerted on the seven thousand regular bookstores in the United States which has resulted in a virtual boycott of the book—even by those stores that wanted to offer it for sale. In spite of these problems, the sale of forty thousand copies in the first six months after publication and the continuing strong sale have been encouraging. The truth, so fully documented, is not easy to keep buried, even by all of the powerful influences that are so determined to hide it.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • Almanac January 12, 1993
    FOR COMMENT Penn’s International Dimensions For over two years, the University of Pennsylvania has been engaged in significant efforts to strengthen its position as an international university. The University’s 1990 Five-Year Plan (published in Almanac January 22, 1991) included a number of recommendations for coordinating and facilitating international programs at Penn. Most of the actions specifically recommended in that document have already been imple- mented: a Provost’s Council on International Programs has been in operation since October 1990; foreign language study is being promoted through several avenues; international area studies programs are being strengthened selectively; and undergraduate study abroad programs are being improved both in terms of quality and range of offerings. In addition to pursuing the recommendations made in the Five-Year Plan, the Uni- versity has affirmed its commitment to international activities by the establishment in July 1991 of an ad hoc Trustees’ Committee on Internationalization, charged with increasing Penn’s visibility and recognition as an international institution of higher education and re- search. During the 1991-92 academic year, this committee was guided in its deliberations by a comprehensive Factbook about International Programs at the University of Pennsyl- vania. Excerpts from the Factbook addressing “Area Studies at the University of Pennsyl- vania” and “International Programs of the University’s Twelve Schools” were reprinted in the March 24, 1992, edition of Almanac. The following summary is intended to further inform and engage the University community with respect to Penn’s international dimensions. Drawing upon the Factbook and several other sources, the overview presented here provides a current accounting of the University’s international activities in the following key areas: the international presence on the Penn campus; academic programs; special campus resources; University-wide link- ages; study abroad programs; and additional pursuits of the twelve schools.

Niveau de description : répertoire numérique détaillé par Françoise Aujogue, chargée d’études documentaire principale et Solène Levatois, élève-stagiaire de l’Ecole Normale supérieure, La Courneuve, 2015, 84 pages. Producteur : Henri Alfred Germain André Froment-Meurice, né le 5 juin 1923 à Paris, commence ses études à l’Université de Paris où il obtient une licence ès lettres en littérature française, en littérature et civilisation américaines et en anglais, et poursuit sa formation à l’École libre de Sciences politiques d’où il sort deuxième de sa promotion. Lors de son service militaire effectué à la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, il est affecté au cabinet du général Kœnig, commandant en chef de la zone française d’occupation en Allemagne, à Baden-Baden, et participe en particulier aux liaisons avec le Conseil de contrôle quadripartite à Berlin. Il est démobilisé en mars 1946 et espère entrer au quai d’Orsay. La création de l’École nationale d’administration (ENA) va le contraindre à différer son projet. Reçu au concours, il intègre la promotion « Nations Unies » : c’est lors de son passage à l’ENA qu’il effectue en 1947 un stage en Algérie où il séjourne de février à décembre.
