Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers.

The climate of uncertainty that pervaded much of the world — coupled with the slow pace of recovery — nonetheless revealed new opportunities for IESE. With an entrepreneurial mindset, IESE aligned its portfolio of executive programs to current economic realities. Our program offerings responded to the wide-ranging questions of alumni and friends about how best to meet current challenges and prepare for the future. New and ongoing programs offered new perspectives, practical strategies, and encouraging support. The overall upswing in participation we saw this year refl ected, we believe, a global awareness of the need for new paradigms. Our response was to encourage business leaders to step back, take a fresh look, innovate and move forward with strength of purpose and optimism. At IESE, we have never been more acutely aware of the role companies play in fueling economic and social progress. We see it as our global social responsibility to develop business leaders with integrity and service orientation: leaders who hold themselves accountable, who value their people, and who recognize that personal and organizational development feed societal growth. As we continue to seize new opportunities for a better future, we are gratifi ed by the dedication of our superlative faculty, administrators, and staff.

  • The Knowledge Institutions in the Information Age. the Special Case of the Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 314 073 IR 053 007 AUTHOR Molz, R. Kathleen TITLE The Knowledge Institutions in the Information Age. The Special Case of the Public Library. INSTITUTION Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. REPORT NO ISBN-0-8444-0621-X PUB DATF 88 NOTE 24p.; An Engelhard Lecture on the Book presented at the Library of Congress (Washington, DC, April 7, 1987). Supportes in part by the Daniel J. and Ruth F. Boorstin Publications Fund. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) -- Viewpoints (120) -- Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MFO1/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; Depository Libraries; Electronic Publishing; Elementary Secondary Education; Federal Government; *Government Role; Information Centers; *Information Dissemination; Legislators; *Library Role; Policy Formation; *Public Libraries; Public Schools IDENTIFIERS *Knowledge Production and Utilization; *National Information Policy; United States ABSTRACT This essay explores the somewhat uneven course of the public library as a knowledge institution in America and its relevance during the current information age, particularly in the United States, where there is a basic connection between access to knowledge and the political system. The public library situation is considered in terms of the dichotomy of consumption, (i.e., the assumption that services to the poor are in themselves a public good and should be provided to alleviate personal need), and investment (i.e., the assumption that the use of services provided to the poor will ultimately result in productive contributions to society). The history of access to information in public libraries is traced from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, and it is argued that the move from "knowledge" to "information" has been promoted by the business sector because substantial gains have been realized as a result of capitalizing on knowledge.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 29, 2013, Designation List 469 LP-2540 41 WORTH STREET BUILDING, 41 Worth Street, Manhattan. Built c. 1865; Isaac F. Duckworth, architect; Architectural Iron Works, Daniel D. Badger & Company, cast iron Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 176, Lot 10 On June 25, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 41 Worth Street Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council; Victorian Society, New York; and Tribeca Trust. The president of the White Rose Artists Corporation board spoke in opposition. The Commission also received three letters in opposition to designation from members of the White Rose Artists Corporation board, including the president and vice-president. The Commission previously held a public hearing on this building on September 19, 1989 (LP-1728). Summary The five-story former store-and-loft building at 41 Worth Street was designed c. 1865 by Isaac F. Duckworth, an architect who designed several store-and-loft buildings in the Tribeca East, Tribeca South, and SoHo-Cast Iron Historic Districts. Built for Philo Laos Mills, a prominent dry goods merchant and founder of Mills & Gibb, the cast- iron facade, manufactured by Daniel D. Badger’s Architectural Iron Works, is intact above the first story. Designed in the Venetian-inspired Italianate style, the facade features tiers of single-story arcades with recessed, round-arched fenestration framed by rope moldings, molded lintels, and keystones springing from fluted columns, and spandrels cast to imitate rusticated masonry.
