Athletic Club, Columbus, Ohio Opening of the meeting, scheduled for 8:00 P.M., was delayed by a report to Board members by the Budget, Finance and Physical Plant Committee. Present were all members of the Board, Alumni Board President Konneker, President Crewson, Secretary Mahn and Vice Presidents Culbert, Miler, Culp and Hecht. Chairman Phillips stated that consideration would be given to all items on the Board agenda in preparation for formal action on January 18. A. FACULTY VOTE ON COLLECTIVE BARGAINING Culbert Dr. Culbert presented an informational report on the poll which was designed to determine sentiment for collective bargaining. The Administration, he stated, would recommend on what was to follow. If the next meeting of the Board was to be far in the future, he suggested that a committee of the Board be designated to receive recommendations. In response to questions by Mr. Johnson as to whether the faculty should not investigate the contents of the pending bill on collective bargaining, and whether a bargaining relationship might not bring about an adversarial, as contrasted with the present cooperative relationship, the answers were "Yes." President Crewson stated that when a tentative procedure was developed, it would be sent to the Board for determination of next steps. B. 1974-75 REVISED BUDGET RESOLUTION Milar Mr. Miler explained that the revision provided zero balance instead of a surplus at the end of the fiscal year. Although means of reaching projections were not firm in all instances, Mr. Milar stated that it was the collective judgment of the Senior Administrators that such projections could be reached. Mr. Johnson stated that the Budget, Finance and Physical Plant Com- mittee would recommend approval of the budget resolution. C.

Although in the future he would be disassociated from this, he said he would abstain from voting on the matter. He reported further that he was checking into Conflict of interest and ethics considerations in respect to his and his firms involvement in matters of interest to the Board. A written report on this will be submitted for record.

THOUGHTS ON MUSEUM Johns Mrs. Johns, following through on questions asked previously about the whereabouts of materials formerly housed in the University Museum and the possibility of resurrecting a museum, suggested that thought be given to developing a living community-type museum, possibly an Appalachian Village. Plans might go forward on the basis of a relatively small endowment, with much volunteer work by interest groups. She suggested the possibility of Bicentennial Commission funds. Mr. Johnson suggested that it might be time for the Chairman to appoint a special committee, and suggested she name Mrs. Johns Chairman, which she said she would do. President Crewson stated that he would be happy to get the reaction • of our Dr. Thomas Smith, who had great interest in this area, and through -3- him the feelings of the local historical society.

  • A STORY of the WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017
    A STORY OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017 The story of the past of any place or people is a history, but this story is so brief and incomplete, I gave the title of “A Story”. Another person could have written quite a different story based on other facts. This story is based on facts collected from various sources and arranged in three ways. Scattered through one will find pictures, mostly old and mostly found in the Alexander- Crawford Historical Society files or with my families’ files. Following this introduction is a series on pictures taken by my great-grandfather, John McAdam Murchie. Next we have a text describing the past by subject. Those subjects are listed at the beginning of that section. The third section is a story told by place. The story of each of the places (32 townships, 3 plantations and a couple of organized towns) is told briefly, but separately. These stories are mostly in phrases and in chronological order. The listed landowners are very incomplete and meant only to give names to the larger picture of ownership from 1783. Maps supplement the stories. This paper is a work in progress and likely never will be complete. I have learned much through the research and writing of this story. I know that some errors must have found their way onto these pages and they are my errors. I know that this story is very incomplete. I hope correction and additions will be made. This is not my story, it is our story and I have made my words available now so they may be used in the Prospective Planning process.

  • Eьfьs Putnam, and His Pioneer Life in the Northwest
    1898.] Rufus Putnam.. 431 EÜFÜS PUTNAM, AND HIS PIONEER LIFE IN THE NORTHWEST. BY SIDNEY CRAWFORD. THE life of General Eufus Putnam is sb intimately con- nected with the history of the first century of our countiy that all the facts concerning it are of interest. It is a most commendable effort which has been put forth, therefore, during the more .recent years, to give his name the place it deserves among the founders of our republic. We boast, and rightly, of our national independence, and associate with it the names of Washington and Jefferson, which have become household words throughout the land ; but, when we come to look more closely into the problem of our national life from the beginning of it down to the present time, we find that one of the most essential factors in its solution was the work of Rufus Putnam. Although a man of humble birth, and never enjoying many of the advan- tages of most of those who were associated with him in the movements of his time, yet, in point of all the sturdj"^ qualities of patriotism, sound judgment and farsighted- ness, he was the peer of them all. To him, it may be safely said, without deti'acting from the fame of any one else, tlie countiy owes its present escape from the bondage of African slavery more than to any other man. Had it not been for his providential leadership, and all that it involved, as is so tersely -written on the tablet in the Putnam Memorial at Rutland, "The United States of America would now be a great siavehold- ing empire." He was the originator of the colony to make the first settlement in the, territory nortliAvest of the Ohio 432 .

The Ohio ompC any and the Meaning of Opportunity in the American West 1786-1795 Abstract Founded in 1786 by former officers of the Continental Army to promote an orderly expansion of American society westward, the Ohio Company soon succumbed to the desire of many of its investors to make money. The aims of settlement warred with the desire to make a profit through land speculation; eventually the company dissolved, a casualty of its inability to reconcile the varied interests of shareholders and to manage westward development.
