Registration materials will be mailed in February ‘11. II ■ The Potomac Term Dear Potomac Community, Perhaps nothing binds us as a community as much as our Po- tomac traditions. These annual rituals and celebrations provide a connection through time with people we knew and those we have yet to meet. Ask any alum who performed in Kindergar- ten Circus, May Day or St. George and the Dragon, or com- peted in Red and Blue, and the detailed recall will astound you. Many alumni parents continue to relive those magical moments through their own children, and new parents delight in the sense of community these occasions bring. At Potomac we focus on developing exemplary habits of heart and mind, recognizing and nurturing that relationship through the learning traditions that are at the core of a Potomac education. From song to play to as- sembly to the exploration of our woods and streams, these are “everyday” kinds of traditions that also frame our school experience.

Contents Contents..................................... i Preface iii 1 Introduction 1 2 1881 5 3 1882 21 4 1884 47 5 1885 53 6 1886 71 7 1887 105 8 1888 127 9 1889 155 10 1891 159 Bibliography 162 i ii CONTENTS Preface Famous or notorious people leave tracks through history that are easy to follow. Their letters and writings are avidly preserved and they are much written about by others. The persistant biographer need only visit libraries and fam- ily or historical society collections to piece together the details of the person’s life. Simply because the person was or is famous is usually sufficient motivation to make the effort to understand and describe their life, even if it has been done repeatedly before. In contrast, people who do not have a profound impact on their contempory general public can fade with time, leaving only a few family anecdotes and pho- tographs for their grandchildren Amy Heard in Washington and great grandchildren. Occa- sionally, however, such fameless people do leave enough traces in the forms of letters, notes, and journals to permit a determined researcher to piece together bits of their life years later, but the motivation to do so is usually lacking unless the person lost in the past is of particular interest to the sleuth of the present. As an obvious example, the life of ancestors is often of strong interest to a descendent who never knew them and knows little about them.

BIBLIOGRAFÍA RESUMEN Este artículo examina las diferentes imágenes de España transmitidas por los repre- sentantes diplomáticos de los Estados Unidos entre la Revolución de Septiembre de 1868 y el estallido de la Guerra de 1898 con el objeto de establecer el peso que pudieron tener en la elaboración de la política exterior norteamericana. El análisis se concentra en la correspondencia oficial y particular de esos diplomáticos custodiada en los archivos norteamericanos, pero también dedica espacio a su producción en periódicos, revistas y libros. Aunque se ha asumido que la visión de la España del siglo XIX predominante en los Estados Unidos era la de un país romántico, pintoresco y anclado en el pasado, a partir de la Revolución de Septiembre los diplomáticos norteamericanos más interesa- dos en la realidad española empezaron a dar cuenta a sus superiores y a sus coetáneos del proceso de modernización que estaba viviendo España.

The boundaries of the approximately sixty thousand-acre Hempstead Plains roughly corresponds in the North to the present-day villages of New Hyde Park, Garden City, Garden City Park, Mineola, Carle Place, Westbury, and New Cassel; Sunrise Highway to the South; and from eastern Queens County in New York City to just east of the Nassau/Suffolk County border.1 When early settlers first viewed the Plains in its pris- tine state, they saw a level topography, generously interspersed with small streams. Virtually treeless, it was instead covered by five- to six-foot-high grasses and a profusion of wildflowers. As early as the 1600s the Plains had been designated as a commons to be used by all primarily for haying and as grazing land for cattle.

BY PERRY BELMONT. Although the Democratic vote, last November, may have been more than a hundred and thirty thousand below what it was four years ago, while the total vote was larger, yet the Democratic outcome was better, so far as votes can indicate it, than in 1872, when, on account of a previous aberration on the part of a nominating National Convention, Horace Greeley had only 43.33 per cent, of the whole vote, and Grant had 55.63 per cent.
