Ariel and Sam are standing with Hannah and their young looking grandfathers beaming at “flanks” of these great looking grandchildren. Hannah is the first grandchild of ’53 children and laid claim to that distinction at birth 17 years ago. Hannah has not been resting on these laurels and, at her recent graduation from Yarmouth High School in Maine, it was noted that her pioneering work on a web-based forum to promote cultural awareness between high school students in the US and those in the Middle East earned her a Community Stewardship Grant. The program, called New View, also led to her selection as Social Innovator by Global Youth Village/Legacy International for this so critical initiative to promote greater understanding in our multi- cultured world. Our hats off to you Hannah, and all of the Class of 1953 grandchildren of the Potter—Zarin families. What a wonderful story. Now the speculation for the great grandchild of 1953 will begin. Hannah, will you start the search among third generation ‘53’s in that marvelous Potter – Zarin dynasty? It is a joy to read your story; please stay in touch with the Class, and Godspeed. • John “Angus” Cunningham on the Bagpipes.[Turn up your Sound] For those of you who have joined in the Reunion traffic for years, you know that sound of the bagpipes leading us from the Rollins Spiritual Experience to the Class Tent Spiritual Experience is always so uplifting, and the reason for that is our Class Piper. John “Angus” Cunningham has been playing the pipes since conception and he is known throughout the Veterans organizations in his home state of New Mexico as one of the leading pipers in these wonderful communities of former warriors. Here Angus is warming up with one of his compatriots prior to an American Legion event and we will leave it to you to determine which one is wearing the kilts. Recently, Angus sent me a lovely addition to the Irish Pub we have built into our Florida abode, the Pearly Gates Pub, and it reads “Authentic Irishman for Hire, Storytelling, Jokes Told, Songs Sung, Carrying On, Open All Hours, and Experienced Drinking Companion.” Tis the finest job description this ole dawg fighter pilot, international peddler, and latter day nerd ever had and all ‘53’s are invited at any time. Y’all come, ya hear. • Put & Marion Blodgett and the Preservation of Nature’s Beauty How often have we seen Put’s and Marion’s dedication to the majesty of the beauty of this precious area in New Hampshire we have all experienced, whether in Lyme, or Mooselauke or wherever. Put arrived as a freshman imbued with the dedication to the sustainment of the natural creation and he has grown even more dedicated in these six plus decades, and has been an example for us and the world as a profound influence for sustaining the natural beauty. While cruising the Fjords of the Inner Passage to Alaska several years ago, we entered one at 0430, in perfect silence, and consumed nature in its serenity, its beauty, the magnificence of that silence. We talked about Put and Marion at that very moment, for this was their consummate moment to experience that nature through our eyes, yes, but more importantly, through our hearts. Thanks Put and Marion, thank you so much. • Freddie Hitt and ’53 Friends in the Corps. Semper Fi An anonymous donor sent in a gaggle of pictures of Freddie in his Marine Corps uniform, and a few of other classmates who joined the Corps and went off to that sacred place in Virginia called Quantico. I recognized Blake Herring, Norm Carpenter, John Springer, Dick Collins, I think Dudley Milliken and Bud Humphries, and roommate Dick Lombard, and Freddie, but the shadows and the years preempted further ID. Anyone identifying some of the balance of these ’53 warriors gets a free Guinness at the Pearly Gates Pub, even two. Our recollection is that 82 of our classmates, primarily from the NROTC program, went off to Quantico upon graduation while a distinct minority of us went to the principal service in the Naval Establishment. Freddie Carleton Reports on the Hanover Scene Seven ‘53’s were at the May 1 '53 lunch at the Norwich Inn - Al Collins, Dick O'Connor coming from Lake George, Dr. Dave Siegal, our lunch organizer Bill Chamberlin, Chuck Reilly and Harlan Fair and myself. Harlan and Al Collins led a discussion on the 60th reunion planning. Harlan has had help from the '52's on their events and costs for this June. They brought in a handsome windbreaker jacket -beige with a simple classic emblem as a possible gift. All of us liked it. Reilly said the dollars for this year's Dartmouth Fund were coming in pretty well and we should be able to meet our goal of $200M + Al Collins and others proposed that wives and widows be invited to our monthly luncheons, and we all approved it.

  • In Duchamp's Shadow : Dadaist in the City of Machines
    d IN DUCHAMP’S SHADOW: Dadaist in the City of Machines John Cohassey In Detroit’s Scarab Club, a charming brick 1920s arts and crafts structure is Marcel Duchamp’s signature—thirteen small cryptic letters on a wooden ceiling beam. This talismanic auto­ graph stirred my interest in finding out why and when Duchamp added his name to the collection of signatures in the club’s lounge. I was aware that Duchamp came to Detroit in November 1961 to speak at the Detroit Institute of Arts and re­ ceive an honorary degree from Wayne State University. This being the only information about Duchamp having visited De­ troit of which I knew, I set out to find a link between the Scarab Club signature and his coming to Detroit in 1961. We may never know why Duchamp—who never spoke fondly of history, especially its art movements and “isms” and rejected all facets of aesthetic commercialism—accepted an honorary degree from an urban university so far from the powerful centers of the art world. But for an artist fascinated by the machine and mechanical drawings, Detroit may have been a fitting place for such an honor. At the time of Duchamp’s visit, the seventy­four­year­old artist had emerged from a relatively isolated life in New York City to appear on television and at museum and gallery events. After nearly a half century of bachelorhood (he was married briefly in 1927), Duchamp married again in 1955 and became an American citizen. Unlike many other influential artists, he 11 avoided a self­destructive path.

  • “Profit Splitting, Power Sharing, and Policy Setting: Organized Labor, the Forgotten Fight Against ‘Excess Profits,’ and Economic Amnesia in the Contemporary USA”
    “Profit Splitting, Power Sharing, and Policy Setting: Organized Labor, the Forgotten Fight Against ‘Excess Profits,’ and Economic Amnesia in the Contemporary USA” Daniel A. Graff, Ph.D. Director, Higgins Labor Program at the Center for Social Concerns Professor of the Practice, Department of History University of Notre Dame “Democracy and Inequality in the Americas” ​ ​ A conference co-sponsored by the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the Initiative for Global Development University of Notre Dame Apr. 8-9, 2019 PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE, CITE, or QUOTE without AUTHOR’s PERMISSION When newly-elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested in a recent 60 Minutes interview that top income earners should pay a much ​ ​ higher marginal tax rate than the current 37%, the response by some Republican officials bordered on incredulity. Veteran GOP leaders such as Georgia Congressman Steve Scalise accused Ocasio-Cortez of wanting to tax 70% of individuals’ entire earnings, when in reality she was proposing to tax at that rate only any income above $10 million (and thus impacting an extremely tiny fraction of the richest Americans). The partisan brouhaha was just the latest instance of a deep and disturbing feature of contemporary US political debate: a widespread and at times willful amnesia concerning the history of American attempts to curb excessiveness and promote economic fairness. Throughout much of the twentieth century, Americans confronted extreme income inequality via labor unions, anti-monopoly regulation, and progressive taxation, but for the past four decades those efforts have been largely abandoned, and mostly forgotten -- apparently to the point that some elected officials don’t even understand how marginal tax rates work.

    A PRESERVATION REVOLUTION: RESURRECTING FRANKLIN COURT FOR THE BICENTENNIAL Ryan Zeek Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2019 Acknowledgments I am greatly indebted to my advisor, Andrew Dolkart, for his guidance and feedback throughout this process. Likewise, I am similarly thankful for the input provided by my readers, Paul Bentel and Will Cook. I received inspiration and support from other faculty members as well, including Michael Adlerstein, Erica Avrami, Françoise Bollack, Chris Neville, Richard Pieper, and Norman Weiss – thank you. I am also very thankful for the support that I received from Tyler Love and Andrea Ashby at the National Park Service’s Independence National Historical Park Archives, as well as from Heather Isbell Schumacher at the University of Pennsylvania’s Architectural Archives. I would also like to thank Franklin Vagnone and Jeffrey Cohen, who kindly lent their time to answer my questions and point me in valuable directions. In addition, I would like to thank Glen Umberger, for it was during a conversation with him while I was an intern at The New York Landmarks Conservancy that the idea for this thesis first entered the world. I am also indebted to the Preservation League of New York State and the Zabar Family Scholarship for their support. Without the members of my cohort, who listened to my ideas and struggles both, and buoyed me up throughout the whole process, this thesis would not have been possible – thank you all for being some of the most incredible colleagues that a preservationist could ever want.

  • The Story of Margaret Sanger
    Protecting the Unprotected: The Story of Margaret Sanger Anushka Arun and Emily Stuart Junior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 499 words Documentary Links This History Day documentary is available to view online through the following link or links: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19OwU16vmjshLpvW1P _xr8pzPm2SoejC7/view?usp=sharing As we began searching for our National History Day project, we were immediately drawn to women’s rights. After considering several events that broke barriers, we realized that the birth control pill was the most compelling of all the stories. However, as we researched more about this, we discovered the “mother of birth control,” Margaret Sanger. We debated on whether to focus on the pill or the person, until we realized that Sanger herself broke more than just the barrier of contraception. She also advocated for women’s rights throughout her life, motivated by her difficult childhood. We were fascinated by her work, and almost immediately convinced that she was a fantastic representation of the theme. We launched into our research with a trip to the University of Washington Suzzallo and Allen Libraries, which provided an excellent base for our project. There were many challenges that we faced as we learned more about Margaret Sanger. First, birth control itself was a very controversial topic, so paired with Sanger’s controversial past, such as her involvement in the Eugenics Movement, it was incredibly difficult to work through. We tried our hardest to keep the documentary completely accurate and reasonably unbiased, while giving her credit for her achievements. Second, while reading Sanger’s work, we encountered some mature content which was difficult to avoid without taking away from her legacy.
