  • Swarthmore Inaugurates Eleventh President
    S w a r t h m o r e COLLEGE BULLETIN, ALUM NI ISSUE JAN U ARY, 1974 Theodore Woo< Swarthmore Inaugurates Eleventh President On a brilliant October day, as the tulip poplars shed their leaves around the assembled guests in the Scott Outdoor Auditorium, Theodore Wood Friend III was inaugurated the eleventh president of Swarthmore College. The simple ceremony presided over by Stephen G. Lax ’41, chairman of the Board of Managers, included two selections by the College Chorus, members of the orchestra, and guest instrumentalists, under the direction of Peter Gram Swing, and an address by President Friend. The academic procession was composed of members of the Board, Faculty, Student Council, and distinguished visitors. Among the nearly twenty college presidents who attended were those from Williams, President Friend’s alma mater; Pomona, which has an exchange program with Swarthmore; the University of Pennsylvania, Barnard, a number of nearby institutions, and some Quaker colleges. Some 50 other representatives from colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher learning also attended. In his address President Friend spoke of “the original aims of the College, of authority and responsibility in its current organization, of the principles of excellence and equality, and of reason and faith in the temper of all that we do here.” He found occasion to quote from the inaugural remarks of the sixth president of Swarthmore, Joseph Swain, in speaking of the relationship of the various con­ stituencies of the College to each other. “Perhaps because he, as I, came here from a state university, I easily share his perspective.

"Antiques, Subject of Woman's Club. Chippendale Furniture Discussed by Instructor at School of Industrial Art. Art Comm.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation 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.

  • Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.

  • 1 9/98 Rev. HISTORIC CONTEXT for TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS
    9/98 rev. HISTORIC CONTEXT FOR TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS IN PENNSYLVANIA Introduction To assist with establishing the significance of the historical background of bridge building in Pennsylvania, it is important to identify and understand the historic contexts associated with the resources. Bridges do not stand in isolation, historically or physically; they embody events and trends that need to be considered when evaluating their individual or collective historical significance. Historic contexts organize historic properties in terms of theme, place, and time, and only within a historic context can what is significant “be determined in relationship to the historic development from which it emerged and in relationship to a group of similar associated properties” (National Register Bulletin 16, 1986: 6-7). In order to evaluate the National Register eligibility of the pre-1956 bridge population in Pennsylvania historic contexts have been researched and prepared twofold: one on the history of transportation networks in Pennsylvania, and the second on the application of bridge technology within the state. Both contexts address transportation issues from the earliest days of settlement to the 1950s, and both set the bridges within the national, state, and local contexts. The historic contexts will provide a means of evaluating each bridge’s technological significance, and its relationship to Pennsylvania’s transportation systems. Based on the historic contexts and their application to National Register criteria, each bridge in the inventory will be evaluated on its own merits with the contexts identifying the crucial distinctions of significance to pools of similar resources. 1. Overview Bridges are best understood as integral parts of transportation networks that carry people, vehicles, and materials over natural barriers such as rivers and streams, and over manmade barriers such as railroads, canals, and roads.

  • Jefferson Quick, Timely Reads
    Jefferson Quick, Timely Reads Early Women Leaders Reflect Nationwide Struggle Dr. Judith Lynch Jefferson Scholar -in-Residence October 2020 ELECTED WOMEN The following is the first in a series of articles about women elected leaders from Erie County written by Jefferson Scholar in Residence Judith Lynch. Jefferson Vice President Ben Speggen will host an online interview with Dr. Lynch at noon each Wednesday in October featuring the leaders. ___________________________________________________________ A new focus on elected women is very timely. The 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote was adopted 100 years ago on August 18, 1920. This year featured several excellent programs marking the anniversary, particularly “The Vote,” a two-part documentary on PBS that shows the intensity of the fight for the vote. When the right to vote was achieved, the work was not done. Women’s clubs throughout the nation organized to register women to vote and to encourage women to run for elective office. It was a long and stressful fight to obtain the right to vote and then to move women into the political process. Today, more women vote than men and the percentage of women elected officials is steadily growing. The long, stressful fight was what won the battle. It is important to note that, before the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, each state was engulfed in efforts to give women the right to vote in state elections. The Pennsylvania Legislature passed a bill giving women the right to vote in 1913; however, it had to be ratified by the voters.
