Burd (1890-1985), a Reading Academy graduate, spent his life as an educator, retiring as school superintendent in South Bound Brook. His writing and files of vital statistics he developed are especially valuable to researchers at the Hunterdon County Historical Society where he was a member for 74 years. Jay Comeforo (1922-2010) held BS and MS degrees from Rutgers in Ceram- ics Engineering, a PhD from the Univ. of Illinois, and an MBA from Rider College. He founded and ran a ceramics company in Clinton, was a Civil War history buff, and wasactive in numerous civic and historical groups in Hunterdon. George Conard followed service in the US Air Force with a 27-year career with the Farm Credit Service, advancing from loan officer to chief appraiser. A keen observer of farming techniques and trends, he applied knowledge gained from experience to help Hunterdon County farmers become more successful. John Kellogg, a Colgate University graduate, holds a Master ‘s degree in City and Regional Planning from Rutgers. He served as Hunterdon County Planning Director from 1979 until retiring in 2004. Under his leadership, Hunterdon’s suc- cessful farmland preservation program was established in the early 1980’s. John W. Kuhl is a Penn State graduate with dual majors in Naval Science and Poultry Science. Before his career in commercial agriculture, he was a US Navy ship’s officer in the Antarctic in the 1950s. A writer and collector of Civil War items, local history and genealogy, he is a popular lecturer. Jay Langley, a Dartmouth College graduate, had a 40-year career at the Hun- terdon County Democrat, ending as executive editor. With his wife, he initiated four newspapers, two web sites, a weekly cable TV talk show, and published five local history books. He is currently writing several books. Edward J. Mack (1930-1995) graduated from Rutgers University and over his career advised its student-run newspaper. He was editor of the Hunterdon County Democrat from 1965 to 1984 and returned in 1989 as general manager. Ed gave countless young reporters their start and was active in the community. Kenneth V. Myers (1914-1995) devoted a lifetime of service to Hunterdon. He was a Freeholder, originator of an oral history project, author of The Fleming- ton Fair Story, a trustee of the Medical Center, advocate for the establishment of Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead Museum, and much more. i Bernard F. Ramsburg (1903-1985), a graduate of the University of West Virginia, came to Hunterdon in 1935 and was named the County’s first 4-H Club agent in 1936. He held the position until 1960 when he was named State 4-H agent. He retired one year later and moved to Arizona. David R. Reading is a retired software engineering consultant and the Exec- utive Director of the Mount Amwell Project, Inc., a Hunterdon County historical preservation charity. He is a 9th generation Hunterdon resident and edited and published John Reading’s Diary in 2010. Hubert G. Schmidt, PhD (1905-1980) was a Professor of History at Rut- gers University and an authority on New Jersey’s history. The author or editor of several books, most notably Rural Hunterdon in 1945, he also wrote a weekly col- umn in the Hunterdon County Democrat for many years. Stephanie B. Stevens is a retired special education teacher and the Histori- an of Hunterdon County. Recognized as a NJ Woman of Distinction in 1999 by the NJ Legislature, she has been Mayor of Readington Township, founded several museums there, and written six books on local history. Pauline Brown (Mrs. Frederick) Stothoff (1920-1999) was highly regarded for her writing and her clear soprano voice, which won her a spot in the noted Bach Choir of Bethlehem, PA. A member of the Hunterdon County Histori- cal Society, she served as a trustee and membership chairman. Robert P. Wise, President and CEO of Hunterdon Healthcare since 1990, earned a BA at Boston College and a Masters in Public Health from the Univ. of Pittsburgh. He also is President of Hunterdon Medical Center, HMC Foundation, Hunterdon Regional Community Health, and the Mid-Jersey Health Corp. Norman C. Wittwer (1919-1982) was an engineer and long-time president of the Hunterdon County Historical Society. His research on the Palatine Germans and NJ’s first German Lutheran Church, Zion Lutheran in Oldwick, resulted in The Faithful and the Bold, still deemed the most definitive book on the subject. Cynthia Yard has a BA from Thomas Edison State College and an MA in Pub- lic Administration from Rutgers. Her 40-year career in public service includes work at the Hunterdon Developmental Center in Clinton and from 1998 to 2013 as County Administrator, CEO of Hunterdon's public service delivery system. ii Introduction, 1964 by Hubert G. Schmidt The year 1964 marks the three hundredth anniversary of the first English settlements in New Jersey. To most readers of this book, it will be equally interesting to learn that in truth it is also the two hun- dred fiftieth anniversary of the formation of Hunterdon County as a seperate political entity. This requires a word of explanation, for most books give 1713 rather than 1714 as the date. (Snell’s History gives both dates.) The actual date was March 11, 1713, by the Julian Calendar, but this calendar was replaced by the Gregorian Calendar in all English possessions in 1752. Since even George Washington revised his birth date according to the “New Style,” it seems only proper that Hunterdon County should do so. All statements to the contrary, Hunterdon's date of beginning, according to our present calendar, was March 22, 1714. Within New Jersey’s first fifty years, that is, by 1714, settlers in Hun- terdon had put that area into the main current of development. The heartland of the original far-flung Hunterdon County of 1714 still re- tains the name after a quarter of a millennium, and the descendants of many of the original settlers are still to be found here. The long history of Hunterdon has been one of unity, comparatively speaking, and of slow and orderly development. Much of the area’s past is still mirrored on its present. That this will not long be true seems obvi- ous, since the region of which Hunterdon is a part may soon be swal- lowed, with hardly time for a shudder, by the great urban-industrial sprawl. Let us hasten, therefore, to put to paper as much of the past as we can, while at the same time fighting a valiant fight to preserve histor- ical documents, the best of our old buildings, and part of our coun- tryside as parks. We do these things less for ourselves than for those who follow us, for they will have only as much of the past as we pre- serve for them. The essays of this book were written by men and women who are much concerned with the preserving of something of our historical heritage. They have not attempted, on this anniversary date, to write a complete history of Hunterdon County. Rather, as a labor of love, they have given you essays on subjects in which they are interested, and even as regards their specialties, they have been limited as to space and as to available time.

  • VERBAL BEHAVIOR by B. F. Skinner William James Lectures Harvard
    VERBAL BEHAVIOR by B. F. Skinner William James Lectures Harvard University 1948 To be published by Harvard University Press. Reproduced by permission of B. F. Skinner† Preface In 1930, the Harvard departments of psychology and philosophy began sponsoring an endowed lecture series in honor of William James and continued to do so at irregular intervals for nearly 60 years. By the time Skinner was invited to give the lectures in 1947, the prestige of the engagement had been established by such illustrious speakers as John Dewey, Wolfgang Köhler, Edward Thorndike, and Bertrand Russell, and there can be no doubt that Skinner was aware that his reputation would rest upon his performance. His lectures were evidently effective, for he was soon invited to join the faculty at Harvard, where he was to remain for the rest of his career. The text of those lectures, possibly somewhat edited and modified by Skinner after their delivery, was preserved as an unpublished manuscript, dated 1948, and is reproduced here. Skinner worked on his analysis of verbal behavior for 23 years, from 1934, when Alfred North Whitehead announced his doubt that behaviorism could account for verbal behavior, to 1957, when the book Verbal Behavior was finally published, but there are two extant documents that reveal intermediate stages of his analysis. In the first decade of this period, Skinner taught several courses on language, literature, and behavior at Clark University, the University of Minnesota, and elsewhere. According to his autobiography, he used notes from these classes as the foundation for a class he taught on verbal behavior in the summer of 1947 at Columbia University.

Zeh The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern science, including related philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, consciousness and complex systems – the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.

Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947.

    The Museum off Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 16 ID FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 3, 1981 DOCUMENTARY FILMS FROM THE NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA FEATURED AT MoMA NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA: A RETROSPECTIVE is a three-part tribute presented by The Museum of Modern Art in recog­ nition of NFBC's 41 years Of exceptional filmmaking. PART TWO: DOCUMENTARY FILMS, running from March 26 through May 12 in the Museum's Roy and Niuta Titus Auditorium, will trace the develop­ ment of the documentary form at NFBC, and will be highlighted by a selection of some of the finest films directed by Donald Brittain, whose work has won wide acclaim and numerous awards. PART TWO: DOCUMENTARY will get off to an auspicious start with twelve of Donald Brittain's powerful and unconventional portraits of exceptional individuals. Best known in this country for "Volcano: An Inquiry Into The Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry" (1976), Brittain brings his personal stamp of creative interpretation to such subjects as America's love affair with the automobile in "Henry Ford's America" (1976) ; the flamboyant Lord Thompson of Fleet Street (the newspaper baron who just sold the cornerstone of his empire, The London Times) in "Never A Backward Step" (1966); Norman Bethune, the Canadian poet/ doctor/revolutionary who became a great hero in China when he marched with Mao ("Bethune" 1964); and the phenomenal media hysteria sur­ rounding the famous quintuplets in "The Diorme Years" (1979) . "Memo­ randum" (1965) accompanies a Jewish glazier from Tcronto when he takes his son back to the concentration camp where he was interned, an emotion­ al and historical pilgrimage of strong impact and sensitivity.
