There werv. really two parts to the crisis. The first part was the crisis occurring between the North and the South. Of course, failure to peaceably resolve differences between these groups led to the war. Often in historical writing, however, the crisis in the North— the second part of the whole crisis— goes unnoticed. This crisis refers to the attempt of people in the loyal states to reach a consensus on a policy to­ ward the Confederacy. At no time was this policy debate more heated, or the ideas expressed more diverse, than in the first half of 1863, when Union morale was at its lowest point. Illinois, the home state of President Abra­ ham Lincoln, had perhaps the greatest problem in reaching this consensus. The study of the Twenty-third General Assembly is important because it high­ lights the great disparity in ideas which existed at that time. The Demo­ crats won a majority of seats in the legislature, and engaged in a bitter debate with Republican opponents over all the Key policy questions of the day. The legislature itself was made up of average educated Illinois citi­ zenry. The Lincolns, Logans, Oglesbys and Palmers were either off in Wash­ ington or fighting the war. The men who were left to sit in the state legislature and govern the state were far from great leaders. Yet, that is why a study about them is all the more important. The crisis of the period was brought about by the inability of anyone in this country to come up with a solution to one large problem. The problem was how to preserve the Union while coming to a consensus on the question of slavery. The Civil War was the result of a failure in leadership to solve this problem.

  • Inciting the Rank and File: the Impact of Actors' Equity and Labor Strike
    Inciting the Rank and File: The Impact of Actors’ Equity and Labor Strike Rachel Shane, PhD, University of Kentucky Abstract Stage actors have long been an integral element of the cultural community in the United States. From vaudeville to the Broadway stage, actors have carved a niche for themselves in the theatrical landscape of this country. Actors are both artists and workers within the theatrical industry. As the latter, actors are members of the labor movement and engage in traditional organized labor activities. This article explores why the members of Actors’ Equity Association have been motivated to strike against theatrical producers and reveals organizational weaknesses inherent when artists join the labor movement. Keywords Actors’ Equity Association, actors’ strike, cultural unions, labor in the arts Address correspondence to Rachel Shane, PhD, Director, Arts Administration Program, University of Kentucky, 111 Fine Arts Building, Lexington, KY 40506-0022.

Photo Credit: Barry Sloan ADVERTISEMENT | ADVERTISE ON NEWSDAY HIGHLIGHTS ▪ Hofstra University running Personal Enrichment In Retirement ▪ Peer-to-peer presentations, social activities keep members active Pithy anecdotes about William F. Buckley Jr. drew several rounds of chuckles during a lecture about the late conservative author and TV host, presented recently to a group of retirees at Hofstra University. The speaker, Al Drattell, 84, of Floral Park, shared a firsthand story from when he was a reporter assigned to cover a Buckley address: A court stenographer was taking notes, Drattell said. “She interrupted his speech: ‘Mr. Buckley, how do you spell that word,’ she asked. He spelled it and went on with his speech,” Drattell said. “And when he was asked what would happen if he won when he ran for mayor of New York City in 1965, he said, ‘Demand a recount.’ In his own way, he was very humorous.” (Buckley lost that race to John Lindsay, pulling 13 percent of the vote.)

  • John J. Marchi Papers
    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

  • Lincoln Studies at the Bicentennial: a Round Table
    Lincoln Studies at the Bicentennial: A Round Table Lincoln Theme 2.0 Matthew Pinsker Early during the 1989 spring semester at Harvard University, members of Professor Da- vid Herbert Donald’s graduate seminar on Abraham Lincoln received diskettes that of- fered a glimpse of their future as historians. The 3.5 inch floppy disks with neatly typed labels held about a dozen word-processing files representing the whole of Don E. Feh- renbacher’s Abraham Lincoln: A Documentary Portrait through His Speeches and Writings (1964). Donald had asked his secretary, Laura Nakatsuka, to enter this well-known col- lection of Lincoln writings into a computer and make copies for his students. He also showed off a database containing thousands of digital note cards that he and his research assistants had developed in preparation for his forthcoming biography of Lincoln.1 There were certainly bigger revolutions that year. The Berlin Wall fell. A motley coalition of Afghan tribes, international jihadists, and Central Intelligence Agency (cia) operatives drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Virginia voters chose the nation’s first elected black governor, and within a few more months, the Harvard Law Review selected a popular student named Barack Obama as its first African American president. Yet Donald’s ven- ture into digital history marked a notable shift. The nearly seventy-year-old Mississippi native was about to become the first major Lincoln biographer to add full-text searching and database management to his research arsenal. More than fifty years earlier, the revisionist historian James G. Randall had posed a question that helps explain why one of his favorite graduate students would later show such a surprising interest in digital technology as an aging Harvard professor.

  • The Democratic Split During Buchanan's Administration
    THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT DURING BUCHANAN'S ADMINISTRATION By REINHARD H. LUTHIN Columbia University E VER since his election to the presidency of the United States Don the Republican ticket in 1860 there has been speculation as to whether Abraham Lincoln could have won if the Democratic party had not been split in that year.' It is of historical relevance to summarize the factors that led to this division. Much of the Democratic dissension centered in the controversy between President James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian, and United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. The feud was of long standing. During the 1850's those closest to Buchanan, par- ticularly Senator John Slidell of Louisiana, were personally antagonistic toward Douglas. At the Democratic national conven- tion of 1856 Buchanan had defeated Douglas for the presidential nomination. The Illinois senator supported Buchanan against the Republicans. With Buchanan's elevation to the presidency differences between the two arose over the formation of the cabinet.2 Douglas went to Washington expecting to secure from the President-elect cabinet appointments for his western friends William A. Richardson of Illinois and Samuel Treat of Missouri. But this hope was blocked by Senator Slidell and Senator Jesse D. Bright of Indiana, staunch supporters of Buchanan.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    STATE OF THE ARTS in Chicago Public Schools BASELINE REPORT 2012–2013 DATA SOURCES AND LIMITATIONS 4 KEY FINDINGS 5 ARTS EDUCATION IN CHICAGO A BRIEF HISTORY 6 THE LANDSCAPE 2012–13 AT A GLANCE 10 SCHOOLS AND INSTRUCTORS 12 COMMUNITY ARTS PARTNERS 14 FUNDING 18 THE PLAN CPS ARTS EDUCATION PLAN 22 CREATIVE SCHOOLS INITIATIVE 24 CREATIVE SCHOOLS CERTIFICATION 26 RECOMMENDATIONS 30 GLOSSARY 38 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 42 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the past three decades, countless educational, cultural, and philanthropic leaders have worked tirelessly to improve access to the arts for all students in Chicago Public Schools. Since its inception in 2011, Ingenuity has been working in partnership with these same leaders toward the goal of an arts education for every student in every CPS school. Ingenuity underpins its work by gathering a deep set of data that provides a clear understanding of the specific arts needs of each school and the district as a whole. This report presents findings from the first year of comprehensive data collection, the 2012–13 school year, and sets the baseline against which Ingenuity will annually measure district-wide efforts to expand arts instruction. Nearly four hundred schools participated in this data collection, which makes this report the most current, comprehensive view of arts education in Chicago. This report also offers an analysis of progress on the CPS Arts Education Plan6 and shows data related to its implementation in schools. The key to looking at the state of arts in the city’s schools is taking a closer look at some of the Plan’s high-level goals, which stand out as central to its overall progress: • Make the arts a core subject by dedicating 120 minutes of arts instruction per week in elementary schools.
