The Alumni Association took simi­ lar action, setting an unprecedented annual budget of $150,000, earmarking part of this sum for library books. The scope of the University Libraries is state-wide. In Knoxville, the recently expanded James D. Hoskins Library building is the "Main Library," where all books for Knoxville are acquired and processed be­ fore being sent to the Undergraduate Library, the Refer­ ence Department, Special Collections, the general col­ lection for graduate and research work, or to one of the specialized libraries housed in other buildings (Law, Agriculture, Education, Engineering, Biological Sciences, Science, and Business Administration). In Martin, the College Library serves all departments; in Memphis, the Mooney Memorial Library provides service to the Medical Units. For the School of Social Work, a special library is being developed in Nashville. The various Extension Centers in the State need library resources.

CARTMELL (1828-1915) PAPERS 1849-1915 Processed by: Harriet Chappell Owsley Archival Technical Services Accession Numbers: 1968.27; 1974.142 Date Completed: 1974 Location: XVII-D-2-3 Microfilm Accession Number: 1076 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION These are the diaries and other papers of Robert H. Cartmell (1828-1915), Madison County farmer. The papers are composed of an account book, clippings, letters, and thirty-three volumes of Mr. Cartmell’s diaries (the first four volumes of which have been typed and edited by Emma Inman Williams). There are two photographs of Mr. Cartmell. Beginning in 1853, the diaries contain full commentaries on the nature of his farm operation, the weather, and the fluctuations of the cotton market. They contain thoughtful comments on politics and candidates for office and opinions on matters of public interest, such as the price of cotton, slavery, abolition, railroads, agricultural meetings, state fairs, prohibition, religion, secession, the Union, and conditions in Madison County during and after the Civil War. The diaries during the war years are filled with accounts of battles and the movements of Federal armies stationed in west Tennessee. Except for a break from May, 1867 to January,1879, the journals are faithfully kept and rich with information through the early years of the twentieth century. Descriptions of farming have many interesting details, and the views expressed on public affairs are both literate and well-informed. The materials in this finding aid measures 2.1 linear feet.

  • The Story of the US Postal Service
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 281 820 SO 018 202 TITLE We Deliver: The Story of the U.S. Postal Service. INSTITUTION Postal Service, Washington, DC. PUB DATE 80 NOTE 25p.; Illustrations will not reproduce clearly. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Government Employees; Government Role; *Public Agencies;_ United States History IDENTIFIERS *PoStal Service ABSTRACT This eight-chapter illustrated booklet chronicles the history of the U.S. Post Office from its establishment by the Continental Congress in 1775 to the present. Chapter 1, "The Colonists," describes the postal service before the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Franklin's appointment as the first Postmaster General of the U.S. and his many contributions to the postal serviceare covered in Chapter 2, "Father of the U.S. Postal Service." Chapter 3, "The Revolution and After," portrays the huge increase that occurred in the U.S. population from the time of Andrew Jackson to the Civil War, the resulting huge increase in mail volume that occurred, and the actions the postal system took to overcome the problems. In Chapter 4, "The Pony Express," the 18-month life span of the pony express is chronicled as are the reasons for its demise. Two Postmaster Generals, Montgomery Blair and John Wanamaker, are portrayed in Chapter 5, "Two Postal Titans." These two men provided leadership which resulted in improved employee attitudes and new services to customers, such as free rural delivery and pneumatic tubes. Chapter 6, "Postal Stamps," tells the history of the postage stamp, and how a stamp is developed. Chapter 7, "Moving the Mail," presents a history of the mail service and the different modes of transportation on which it depends.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.

    National Association of Postal Supervisors Historical Sketch Revised 2018 Notes on the Revised Historical Sketch This document was originally prepared by NAPS Editor Byrd B. Saxton (the year is unknown). It was substantially revised in 1992 with the assistance of indi- viduals affiliated with the following organizations: • Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, US House of Representatives; • Federal Managers Association; • International Association of Fire Fighters; • League of Postmasters of the United States; • National Association of Letter Carriers; • National Association of Postmasters of the United States; • National Association of Retired Federal Employees; • Office of Personnel Management Library; • The George Meany Memorial Archives, and • USPS Headquarters, including the Compensation Services Division, Government Relations Department, Headquarters Library and the Historian’s Office. Special advisors on the project were retired President Donald N. Ledbetter, Executive Vice President Mo Twomey and Administrative Vice President Dan Jaspan, whose assistance is gratefully acknowledged. Supplemental information was compiled and edited at the direction of the NAPS resident officers. 1908 —The Beginning On September 7, 1908, 50 postal supervisors from post offices in 13 states met in Louisville, KY. Their objective was to establish an association composed of supervisors dedicated to the wel- fare of supervisors and the improvement of the United States Post Office Department (POD). Poor working conditions and an unfair salary system were among the challenges that faced these pio- neers, all of whom risked their livelihoods to participate in these early organizational activities. This foundation, laid so long ago, led to the many improved benefits we are privileged to enjoy today. As this historical sketch illustrates, these founders and their successors have made great progress for the postal supervisor.
