Echo and Pine Get Your Kicks at the 50th June 2-5, 2016 Echo and Pine 1 Letter from the President Dear Members of the Classes of 1966: On this noteworthy anniversary, it is my great pleasure to welcome you, the trailblazing members of the Classes of 1966, back to campus. From my conversations with many of you and from the memories you share in the following pages, it is apparent that the social and political upheavals of the mid-1960s – and their expressions on campus – substantially shaped your worldviews and your lives. Equally apparent is the collective sense of the Colleges’ impact on the way in which your Classes navigated those turbulent times, from the attentiveness and care of the faculty and administration, to the camaraderie of the student body, to the thought-provoking nature of the coursework. As we join together in celebrating with you this Golden Jubilee, perhaps most apparent is the remarkable success of the Classes of 1966, not only in spite of the changing national landscape 50 years ago, but also because of it. Through the burgeoning Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War, through the Cold War and the advent of the Internet, through the 9/11 attacks and increasing globalization, your classes have thrived in this changing world and helped shape it – as doctors and educators; business and religious leaders; attorneys and musicians; service-members in law enforcement and the military; Fulbright winners and world-travelers; local, national and international volunteers; and parents and grandparents. On behalf of our faculty, staff and students, I thank you for joining us this weekend and for your indelible contributions to your communities, your country and your alma maters. Sincerely, Mark D.

  • The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power
    The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power: Bridging Songs with Literary Texts to Enhance Students’ Interpretative Skills Elroy Alister Esdaille Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Elroy Alister Esdaille All Rights Reserved Abstract Sometimes students struggle to interpret literary texts because some of these texts do not lend themselves to the deduction of the interpretative processes with which they are familiar, but the same is not true when students pull interpretations from songs. Is it possible that students’ familiarity with songs might enable them to connect a song with a book and aid interpretation that way? This study attempted to explore the possibility of bridging songs to literary texts in my Community College English classroom, to ascertain if or how the use of song can support or extend students’ interpretive strategies across different types of texts. I investigated how songs might work as a bridge to other texts, like novels, and, if the students use songs as texts, to what extent do the students develop and hone their interpretative skills? Because of this, how might including songs as texts in English writing or English Literature curriculum contribute to the enhancement of students’ writing? The students’ responses disclosed that the songs appealed to their cognition and memories and helped them to interpret and write about the novels they read. Moreover, the students’ responses revealed that pairing or matching songs with novels strengthened interpretation of the book in a plethora of ways, such as meta-message deduction, applying contexts, applying comparisons, and examining thematic correlations.

    Volume XLII, Number 2 - Summer 2006 The Many Names of the Lettie G. Howard, by Sam Hoyt In October 1969, American Heritage Magazine reported that on "September 1968, the schooner Caviare sailed up the East River to the [South Street Seaport] museum pier…" Thus began an almost 40 year, sometimes contentious, dia- logue as to the true name of the schoo- ner, involving a number of people. The primary question was whether or not Caviare was originally the Lettie G. Howard. Several facts were indisputable early on. Among them, Caviare was built by Willard A. Burnham (probably a rela- tive of current ASA member and builder Harold Burnham) at South Essex and launched in August 1891. In 1903 she was sold to the E.E.

Astorino, Westchester County Executive Sherlita Amler, MD, Commissioner of Health Foreword The Westchester County Department of Health (WCDH) plays a leading role in promoting health, preventing disease, and prolonging meaningful life for Westchester County residents. WCDH monitors and controls the spread of communicable diseases, monitors and regulates air and water quality, enforces the state and local sanitary code, promotes local public health activities, and assures the availability of community health services. To comply with New York State Public Health Law, WCDH completed a Community Health Assessment (CHA) 2013-2017 in 2013 to describe the health status of Westchester County residents, identify existing gaps and health care barriers, assess the availability and accessibility of health care services, and specify public health priorities in the County. This document is intended to supplement the 2013-2017 CHA with updated regional school BMI information. In order to monitor overweight and obesity status and support the statewide efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic, the New York State Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) was established to collect weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile) on children and adolescents attending public school in New York State, outside New York City.
