In 2012, ArtsQuest™ ArtsQuest 2012 by the Numbers presented over 1,500 classes, concerts and events, with more than 60 percent of our programming available to the community free of charge. 1,200,000 - Festivals & Events Attendance Think about that for a minute. 10,000-plus – Youth Enjoying Free From Grammy-nominated artists at the Levitt Pavilion to New York-based Arts Programming & dancers on the Air Products Town Square to musicians from 28 states Activities and six countries who performed at Musikfest, few communities in the United States have access to the breadth of programming that ArtsQuest 1,500 - Total Classes, Concerts & ™ offered in 2012, our first full year of operations at SteelStacks .

We are fortunate to have the support of so many individual donors, corporate and organizational partners, volunteers and ArtsQuest members. But our work is not done. In fact, we have only just begun. And you can help us get there. As many of you know, the weather in 2011 resulted in a significant financial shortfall which was especially challenging as we were just opening up the ArtsQuest Center in May. Over the past year, our amazing staff has worked tirelessly with the support of the community to close our operating deficit while maintaining the high quality of programming that people have come to expect from ArtsQuest over the last 29 years. If you haven’t been to SteelStacks to take in a movie, see a live performance, enjoy a historical walking tour of the campus or just sit at the base of the majestic blast furnaces, we encourage you to come explore what many have called the most unique arts and cultural campus in America. We also encourage you to become a member and join the more than 2,100 strong who not only enjoy great benefits, but help to support all of the high quality, free programming we present each year. Our mission is simple: to provide access to diverse arts and cultural programming to the residents of the Lehigh Valley and beyond in order to drive economic development in urban areas. And we invite you to be a part of that mission as we continue to transform Bethlehem’s South Side and make the Lehigh Valley a tremendous place to live, work and play. Imagine that.

  • The Struggles of a Mathematician and His University to Enter the Ranks of Research Mathematics, 1870–1950
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Historia Mathematica 34 (2007) 271–288 www.elsevier.com/locate/yhmat Straddling centuries: The struggles of a mathematician and his university to enter the ranks of research mathematics, 1870–1950 David E. Zitarelli ∗ Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA Abstract This paper weaves two interlocking histories together. One strand of the fabric traces the development of the American mathe- matician Joseph B. Reynolds from a peripheral player to an active contributor to mathematics, astronomy, and engineering and to the founding of a sectional association of mathematicians. The other piece describes the evolution of his institution, Lehigh Uni- versity, from its founding in 1865 to a full-fledged research department that began producing doctorates in 1939. Both Reynolds and Lehigh straddled the line between the pre- and post-Chicago eras in American mathematics. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden zwei ineinander greifend Geschichten dargestellt. Einen Teil der verflochtenen Geschichte bildet die Entwicklung des amerikanischen Mathematikers Joseph B. Reynolds von einer Randerscheinung sowohl zu einem aktiven Autor mathematischer und astronomischer Arbeiten sowie solcher aus den Ingenieurswissenschaften als auch zu einem Begründer einer sektionalen mathematischen Gesellschaft. Der andere Teil der Geschichte betrifft die Gründung seiner akademischen Einrichtung, der Lehigh University, von ihrer Gründung 1865 bis zu einer reifen Forschungsabteilung in den 1939 Jahre Promotionen aufweisen konnte. Sowohl Reynolds als auch die Lehigh University können als Scharnier zwischen der Vor- und Nach-Chicagoer Ära in der amerikanischen Mathematik betrachtet werden.

Publishing Sustainable Lehigh Valley every year runs the risk of it becom- ing another “business-as-usual” replay. To avoid that pitfall, we rely on two sources of vitality. First, the essays in the Voices of the Valley section. This year, we invited local college students and recent graduates to share their perspectives about the world they are entering. In their essays, they look at the dangers, the benefits, and the prospects ahead. They talk of change, revolution, listening to and being one with nature, permaculture, consumer lifestyles, and waste.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.
