Minutes of the original meeting, Constitution and Ritual have been preserved by the Fraternity to this day. Our tradition is truly continuous. Christopher “Kit” Waite, whose father was destined to become Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was from Toledo, Ohio. Peter Fox from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Thomas Raymond, a “downeasterner” from Westborough, Massachusetts, together with Waite, were the only Founders from out of state. Nathaniel Starbuck was a “local” from the campus town of Troy whose father, a leading citizen of the town, was often called upon to address public meetings to arouse popular support for the Lincoln administration. The remaining Founders were all New Yorkers: George Brainerd from Brooklyn; Samuel Buel, Jr., from Poughkeepsie; Ralph Packard from Niagara Falls and Henry Farnum from Port Jervis. In 1864, Rensselaer was attempting to rebuild.

In his first museum solo exhibition, we experience six decades of the Motor City through his eyes. Drawn from his archive of 50,000 plus negatives, the photographs in the exhibition celebrate his art and represent just a sample of the 250 works by Marshall acquired by the Detroit Institute of Arts since 2012. Russ Born in 1940 in South Fork, Pennsylvania, Marshall settled in Detroit Detroit Naval aviation still camera photographer. He returned to Detroit Marshall with his family in 1943 and began to pursue photography as a Photographs after military service and continued to photograph throughout the hobby in the late 1950s.

    The QUEST for THETA XI Copyright 2002 BY THETA XI FRATERNITY All Rights Reserved Twenty-Third Edition of The Manual of Theta Xi Edited by James E. Vredenburgh, Jr., Jonathon T. Luning, Jeffrey W. Arnold and Cory M. Criter Theta Xi Fraternity P.O. Box 411134 St. Louis, MO 63141 800-783-6294 Fax: 314-993-8760 E-Mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Quest, as this book is commonly known, provides an introduction to the nature and traditions of the Theta Xi Fraternity. It also serves to acquaint new members with the individual responsibilities of fraternity membership. And it outlines the purposes, programs, history, goals and organizational structure of Theta Xi. It is not necessary, however, for an associate member to memorize everything this manual covers during the brief period of formal associate membership. The Quest is designed to help you get as much as possible from your total Fraternity experience; for just as membership in Theta Xi is for a lifetime, so is this manual, which shall serve as a reference for you as an undergraduate member and as an alumni member who may wish to refresh, renew or enhance his knowledge and understanding of the Fraternity and its principles. The members of Theta Xi have a fuller appreciation of the value of living up to the Fraternity’s ideals because they have lived and practiced its standards, and the further you study this book, the fuller and more vivid the experience becomes. As you read The Quest and interact with the chapter of your affiliation, you will find that you get out of Theta Xi as much, if not more, than what you put into it.

    Draft, October 27, 2004 WHEN DOES A CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT INVOLVE A HOLDUP?: THE DYNAMICS OF FISHER-BODY- GENERAL MOTORS Benjamin Klein* I. Introduction Fisher Body-General Motors has become a classic example in economics. Since the brief discussion of the case 35 years ago,1 it has been cited more than one thousand times,2 primarily to illustrate the now generally accepted proposition that vertical integration is more likely when transactors make relationship-specific investments.3 The theoretical and empirical confirmation of this proposition is described by Michael Whinston as “one of the great success stories in industrial organization over the last 25 years.”4 The popularity of the Fisher Body-General Motors case may be difficult to understand since it is merely one of many documented examples of the relationship between vertical integration and specific investments.5 However, the Fisher Body-General Motors case uniquely focuses on the dynamics of this * Professor Emeritus, UCLA.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. The Fable of Fisher Body Revisited Ramon Casadesus-Masanell and Daniel Spulber* July 2000 ____________________________ *Harvard Business School Morgan Hall 231, Soldiers Field, Boston, Massachusetts 02163 and Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University, 2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL, 60208. Introduction It is difficult to hit a moving target. Benjamin Klein (2000) essentially presents a new Fisher Body story despite his contention that “the facts of the Fisher-GM case are shown to be fully consistent with the hold up description provided in Klein, Crawford, and Alchian.” Klein (2000) concedes many of the points made in the articles by Ronald Coase (2000), Robert Freeland (2000) and Ramon Casadesus-Masanell and Daniel F. Spulber (2000). Contrary to Klein et al. (1978), Klein (2000) now acknowledges that the main economic force behind the merger was the need for coordination: “As body design became more important and more interrelated with chassis design and production, the amount of coordination required between a body supplier and its automobile manufacturer customer increased substantially. [...] These economic forces connected with annual model changes ultimately led all automobile manufacturers to adopt vertical integration.” Despite having made this important admission, Klein creates a new fable: the Flint plant problem.
