    Commencement Exercises THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012 ALMA MATER “The Netherlands” (first stanza) O Hofstra, to honor thy name we foregather, Rejoicing in voicing thy praises anew; By thee we are guided, with counsel provided; Sustain us with thy strength in the paths we pursue. DRAFT Commencement Exercises THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012 This is the unofficial program of the December 20, 2012, commencement. The official program will be archived on August 20, 2013. History of Hofstra n 1912 William Hofstra had booked passage on the Titanic for his return voyage from Europe. However, a business proposition in Canada forced him to change his plans. Instead he took a ship to Halifax, and the events of his personal history took their rightful course. Information reported in the newspapers of the times allowsI us to look back at the history of the Hofstras and view their lives in a more personal and intimate light. The Hofstras enjoyed a lifestyle filled with social engagements, travel and business ventures. The society pages and gossip columns of the local papers such as the Hempstead Sentinel as well as papers such as The New York Times reported on these events on a continuous basis. From 1894 through the 1930s, both Mr. and Mrs. Hofstra appeared in print for participation in charity events, departures for vacations, hosting wedding receptions at their estate, and attendance at various recreational activities. The earliest report of the Hofstras abroad is 1894, when William and Kate Hofstra departed for Liverpool on the ship Majestic. In 1902 a New York Times reporter in Paris reported that “American visitors in Paris are preparing to return in September,” and included the Hofstras among those who had been to Carlsbad, and were headed for the Hotel Ritz.

    RICE’S DERBY CHOICE JOURNAL 2012 33st Edition “Now there is a languor … I am fulfilled and weary. This Kentucky Derby, whatever it is — a race, an emotion, a turbulence, an explosion–is one of the most beautiful and violent and satisfying things I have ever experienced. And, I suspect that, as with other wonders, the people one by one have taken from it exactly as much good or evil as they brought to it… I am glad I have seen and felt it at last.” ‐John Steinbeck (1956) Copyright © 2012 Tim Rice All Rights Reserved 1 I think you will soon agree with me that there is a great deal more annoyance and vexation in race horses than real pleasure.” - August Belmont writing to his son August Belmont, Jr. Rare was the voting-age American ignorant of that colossus, Secretariat, and his supra- equine achievement in the third leg of the 1973 Triple Crown. That thirty-one length score, in still world record time for a mile and a half, completed the colt’s sweep of the three-year-old classic fixtures. He was acclaimed from sea to shining sea including the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated. And, no small task that because 1973 was not without many headline grabbers including the Watergate Hearings and the departure of the last U.S. soldier from Viet Nam. Of lesser note were the declaration of Ferdinand Marcos as President for Life of the Philippines, the sale of the New York Yankees to George Steinbrenner for ten million dollars, and O.J.

Although Congress had legislated extensively in this area, the President effected this change by entering into a “nonbinding political agreement” with Iran and by aggregating individual waiver provisions in the sanctions laws into an across-the-board waiver of sanctions.

  • August Belmont and the Atlantic Trade in Cotton 1837‒1865
    ‘A mystery to the future historian…’? August Belmont and the Atlantic Trade in Cotton 1837‒1865 Kathryn Boodry explores how the House of Rothschild and the financier August Belmont spearheaded a new phase of enterprise in America. In a letter to the London house in 1863 August Belmont commented acerbically: ‘It will always remain a mystery to the future historian to explain the sympathy which a large portion of civilized Europe gave in the nineteenth century to a rebellion the principal aspect of which was the extension & perpetuation of the odious system of slavery.’¹ Belmont’s disingenuous claim belies the fact that he, like most agents of Anglo-American financial houses, was well aware that the American Civil War, at least in part, was about the revenue generated from agricultural goods produced in the south. Tobacco, sugar, cotton and rice, all commodities produced in the southern United States with slave labour, were vital exports for the emergent nation. After 1815, the United States was the largest producer, and Great Britain the largest consumer of American cotton.² The economic undercurrents that influenced political allegiances during the Civil War were well understood in the nineteenth century, particularly by merchants and bankers, as was noted in Punch: Tho’ with the North we sympathize, It must not be forgotten That with the South we’ve stronger ties Which are composed of Cotton.³ In the nineteenth century cotton literally wove together an Atlantic world of factors, agents, merchants, financiers, slaves, stevedores and spinners. It was a vital source of revenue for northern coffers and no doubt coloured perceptions of the need to ‘preserve the union.’ Trade in cotton also fostered the development of sophisticated financial relationships between the southern United States, New York and London.

Spinzia In order to assist the reader in identifying the large number of unfamiliar names and the dizzying array of events, a photographic gallery with a thumbnail biography of the participants and a timeline pertaining to the pertinent events of those years have been included. In 1908 Washington was considered a backwater posting by the major powers in Europe. Washingtonians, at the beginning of the twentieth century, had to contend with excessively humid heat in the summer coupled with the fear of typhoid- and malaria-bearing mosquitos from the swamps of the nearby countryside. Additionally, the city’s social life lacked the sophistication and glitter associated with Manhattan and the capitals of the major countries of Western Europe. Despite this, Germany appointed the shrewd career diplomat Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff as its ambassador to the United States.
