    The Cosmos Club: a Self-Guided Tour of the Mansion

    Founded 1878 The Cosmos Club - A Self-Guided Tour of the Mansion – 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20008 Founders’ Objectives: “The advancement of its members in science, literature, and art,” and also “their mutual improvement by social intercourse.” he Cosmos Club was founded in 1878 in the home of John Wesley Powell, soldier and explorer, ethnologist and T Director of the Geological Survey. Powell’s vision was that the Club would be a center of good fellowship, one that embraced the sciences and the arts, where members could meet socially and exchange ideas, where vitality would grow from the mixture of disciplines, and a library would provide a refuge for thought and learning. www.cosmosclub.org Welcome to The Townsend Mansion This brochure is designed to guide you on a walking tour of the public rooms of the Clubhouse. Whether member or guest, please enjoy the beauty surrounding you and our hospitality. You stand within an historic mansion, replete with fine and decorative arts belonging to the Cosmos Club. The Townsend Mansion is the fifth home of the Cosmos Club. Within the Clubhouse, Presidents, members of Congress, ambassadors, Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, scientists, writers, and other distinguished individuals have expanded their minds, solved world problems, and discovered new ways to make contributions to humankind, just as the founders envisioned in 1878. The history of the Cosmos Club is present in every room, not as homage to the past, but as a celebration of its continuum serving as a reminder of its origins, its genius, and its distinction. ❖❖❖ A place for conscious, animated discussion A place for quiet, contemplation and research A place to free the mind through relaxation, music, art, and conviviality Or exercise the mind and match wits A place of discovery A haven of friendship… The Cosmos Club A Brief History The Townsend Mansion, home of the Cosmos Club since 1952, was originally built in 1873 by Judge Curtis J.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • William Allen White Newspaper Editor ( 1868 - 1944 )

    William Allen White Newspaper Editor ( 1868 - 1944 )

    William Allen White Newspaper editor ( 1868 - 1944 ) William Allen White was a renowned newspaper editor, politician, and author. Between the two world wars, White, known as the “Sage of Emporia,” became the iconic middle-American spokesman for millions throughout the United States. Born in Emporia, Kansas, White attended the College of Emporia and the University of Kansas. In 1892 he started work at The Kansas City Star as an editorial writer and a year later married Sallie Lindsay. In 1895, White purchased his hometown newspaper, the Emporia Gazette for $3,000. He burst on to the national scene with an August 16, 1896 editorial entitled “What’s the Matter With Kansas?” White developed a friendship with President THEODORE ROOSEVELT in the1890s that lasted until Roosevelt’s death in 1919. The two would be instrumental in forming the Progressive (Bull-Moose) Party in 1912 in opposition to the forces surrounding incumbent Republican president WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. Later, White supported much of the New Deal, but opposed FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT in his first three Presidential elec- tions. White died before voting in the 1944 election. Courtesy of Kenneth Neill Despite differences with FDR, White agreed to Roosevelt’s request to help generate public support for the Allies before America’s entrance into World War II. White was fundamental in the formation of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, sometimes known asthe White Committee. He spent much of his last three years involved with the committee. He won a 1923 Pulitzer Prize for an editorial he wrote after being arrest- ed in a dispute over free speech following objections to the way Kan- sas treated the workers who participated in the railroad strike of 1922.

    Tarifi Zor Bay Whittemore: Erken Dönem, 1871–1916 Holger A. Klein Tarifi Zor Bay Whittemore: Erken Dönem, 1871–1916 “Whittemore asla bir yerde değildir; biraz önce oradaydı, birazdan ora- ya gelecek; -den geliyor ve -e gidiyor; ama asla ‘burada’ değildir.”1 Boston doğumlu İngilizce profesörü, sanat tarihçi, arkeolog ve Amerika Bizans Enstitüsü’nün karizmatik kurucusu Thomas Whittemore’un yaşamını ve kariyerini bu arkadaş tanımından daha iyi karakterize eden başka çok az tanım bulunabilir. Bu arkadaş ise aynı zamanda iş arkadaşı ve Bizanslı şey- ler hakkında derin bilgi kaynağı Matthew Stewart Prichard’dan başkası değildi.2 Whittemore’un tarifi-zorluğu ve “aşırı mahremiyet düşkünlüğü”3 Bizans Enstitüsü’nün tarihini ve restorasyon projelerini inceleyen bilim adamlarını çoğu kez hüsrana uğratıp, 1930’ların başlarında Ayasofya’nın Bizans mozaiklerini gün ışığına çıkaran ve daha sonraları da Kariye’nin mozaiklerini restore eden adamın entelektüel formasyonunu kavrayabil- | mek için günümüze ulaşan mektuplar, akademik makaleler, haber raporla- Holger A. Klein rı ve edebi anlatımlardan oluşan bir kaynak grubuna dayanmak zorunda bırakmıştır.
