MSPCA Advocacy COLLABORATION INTEGRITY POSITIVITY SERVICE EXCELLENCE COMPASSION SERVICE EXCELLENCE COMPASSION COLLABORATION INTEGRITY POSITIVITY “The purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson At the Very Heart of Who We Are What an inspiring quote. And Ralph Waldo Emerson was, by the way, one of the original Vice Presidents of the MSPCA in 1868. I think he would have stood firmly in favor of an initiative all of us at the MSPCA–Angell have been working on for the past year and will be working on long into the future. Compassion. Integrity. Positivity. Service. Excellence. Collaboration. These aren’t just words; they are the core values that motivate us to work hard every day for the animals in our care. A cross-section of MSPCA–Angell employees, representing every function under our roof, came together in 2013 to outline and initiate a historic cultural shift to a consciously values-based organization. The result is the documentation of a set of values that has always been embedded in the fabric of our organization, and which will now be carefully applied to everything we do, from hands-on animal care to performance evaluations and new-hire criteria. We’re excited to tell the world that we are living our values — and we hope you experience our dedication firsthand in your next interaction with the MSPCA–Angell. We all felt strongly that “compassion” should top the list, for not only is it a beautiful word that echoes throughout every single thing we do here, but it appears in our mission statement, where we affirm that we are striving “for a just and compassionate society.” Part of our initiative involves a Peer Recognition Program, in which employees can nominate colleagues who have strongly exhibited one or more of these values. I can honestly say that such examples flood my mind every day. We are fortunate to do our work in the company of some of the most dedicated and honorable people I’ve ever known. We are also so very fortunate that all of you — the wonderful people who support us — share our values and live by them as well. Your generosity makes a huge difference in the lives of many thousands of animals every year. In my heart, I add the value of gratitude and direct it toward all of you. I hope you will enjoy our 2013 Year in Review. Carter Luke Chief Executive Officer COMPASSION Hands on. In 2013... Hearts open.

Minneapolis, MN 55408 Designed at the School of Information and Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 216 Lenoir Drive CB#3360, 100 Manning Hall Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3360 The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is committed to equality of educational opportunity. The University does not discriminate in o fering access to its educational programs and activities on the basis of age, gender, race, color, national origin, religion, creed, disability, veteran’s status or sexual orientation. The Dean of Students (01 Steele Building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-5100 or 919.966.4042) has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the University’s non-discrimination policies. © 2007 Illuminating the Past A history of the first 75 years of the University of North Carolina’s School of Information and Library Science Illuminating the past, imagining the future! Dear Friends, Welcome to this beautiful memory book for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS). As part of our commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the School, the words and photographs in these pages will give you engaging views of the rich history we share. These are memories that do indeed illuminate our past and chal- lenge us to imagine a vital and innovative future. In the 1930’s when SILS began, the United States had fallen from being the land of opportunity to a country focused on eco- nomic survival. The income of the average American family had fallen by 40%, unemployment was at 25% and it was a perilous time for public education, with most communities struggling to afford teachers and textbooks for their children.

James Rocha, Bernard Rollin, Adam Shriver, and Rebecca Walker were fellow travelers with us on the amicus brief, but were unable to follow us to the book. Research assistants Andrew Lopez and Caroline Vardigans provided invaluable support and assistance at crucial moments. We have also benefited from discussion with audiences at the Stanford Law School and Dalhousie Philosophy Department Colloquium, where the amicus brief was presented, and from the advice of wise colleagues, including Charlotte Blattner, Matthew Herder, Syl Ko, Tim Krahn, and Gordon McOuat. Lauren Choplin, Kevin Schneider, and Steven Wise patiently helped us navigate the legal landscape as we worked on the brief, related media articles, and the book, and they continue to fight for freedom for Kiko and Tommy, and many other nonhuman animals. 4 1 Introduction: Chimpanzees, Rights, and Conceptions of Personhood In December 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a common law writ of habeas corpus in the New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Tommy, a chimpanzee living alone in a cage in a shed in rural New York (Barlow, 2017).
