It celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year. It had its origins in the awakening perception of social needs as Reconstruction began after the Civil War. In October, 1865, on a call by the Massachusetts Board of Charities, a meeting of some 300 public-spirited citizens, chaired by the Governor, John A. Andrew, established the American Social Science Association, to plan measures of public improvement. It was modeled on the British Social Science Association founded nine years earlier and organized into four departments: health, education, jurisprudence and finance. A fifth, social economy, was added nine years later. Out of the American Social Science Association, leading American professional organizations were spawned and spun off: the American Bar Association, the American Historical Association, the National Conference on Social Welfare, the American Public Health Association and the National Prison Reform Association. In 1899, the Association was incorporated by an Act of Congress as the present-day National Institute of Social Sciences, "for the purpose of promoting studies and researches in social science." This effort was led by James B. Angell, president of the University of Michigan, Daniel Coit Oilman, first president of Johns Hopkins University, and Andrew D. White, first presi- dent of Cornell University. That is the Institute its members proudly carry on today, each year presenting the Gold Medal Honor Award to a select group GOLD MEDALISTS of people who have made significant strides in advancing or maintaining the quality of American society. 7913-7999 The fields of accomplishment of our honorees range from gov- 1913 I9i9 ernment, education, philanthropy, and the arts, to medicine, Archer M.

In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.” – J. K. Rowling “We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” – Maria Mitchell “Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries.” – John Tyndall “As to Bell's talking telegraph, it only creates interest in scientific circles... its commercial values will be limited.” – Elisha Gray “One of the problems with posing a 'bold new plan' is that you can't just extrapolate from previous plans.” – Nathan Myhrvold VIDEO(S) OF THE WEEK Our Favorite Fictional Female Scientists Science Goes to the Movies Computer

As part of a university- developed 3D Printing 4 Teaching & Learning project, teachers integrated 3D modeling and printing into curriculum topics in world geography, U.S. history, and government/civics. Multiple sets of data were collected documenting classroom implementation of 3D technology. Seven key insights emerged: Teachers and students initially found it challenging to imagine ways to use 3D printed physical objects to represent social science concepts; students found 3D printing projects were a positive, self-fulfilling way to show their ideas about history topics; teachers and students found the 3D modeling program difficult to use; 3D modeling and printing altered the teacher-as-expert/student-as-novice relationship; 3D modeling and printing changed how teaching and learning happened in history/social studies classrooms; partnering with content and technical experts was an important element of success; and some teachers shifted their thinking about the value of using 3D printing in history/social studies classes. These insights can help facilitate the integration of 3D technologies in history/social studies classrooms.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

MCGEOCH Five Pieces for Small Orchestra, Op. 42 DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906- ) The Fi ve Pieces, written by Shostakovich at the age of twenty-nine, were never mentioned or listed among his major works, until Ivan M artynov, in a monograph ( 1947) referred to them as "Five Fragments for Orchestra, 193 5 manuscript, op. 42." A conflict, which had begun to appear between the compose r's natura l, but advanced expression, and the Soviet official sanction came to a climax in 1934 wh en he produced his "avant guarde" opera Lady Ma cbeth of Mzensk. He was accuse d of "deliberate musical affectation " and of writing "un Soviet, eccent ric music, founded upon formalistic ideas of bourge ois musical conce ptions." Responding to this official castigation, he wrote a se ries of short, neoclassic, understated works, typical of the Fi ve Pieces on tonight's program.

    Prefaces to Scalia/Ginsburg: a (Gentle) Parody of Operatic Proportions

    WANG, SCALIA/GINSBURG: A (GENTLE) PARODY OF OPERATIC PROPORTIONS, 38 COLUM. J.L. & ARTS 237 (2015) Prefaces to Scalia/Ginsburg: A (Gentle) Parody of Operatic Proportions Preface by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Scalia/Ginsburg is for me a dream come true. If I could choose the talent I would most like to have, it would be a glorious voice. I would be a great diva, perhaps Renata Tebaldi or Beverly Sills or, in the mezzo range, Marilyn Horne. But my grade school music teacher, with brutal honesty, rated me a sparrow, not a robin. I was told to mouth the words, never to sing them. Even so, I grew up with a passion for opera, though I sing only in the shower, and in my dreams. One fine day, a young composer, librettist and pianist named Derrick Wang approached Justice Scalia and me with a request. While studying Constitutional Law at the University of Maryland Law School, Wang had an operatic idea. The different perspectives of Justices Scalia and Ginsburg on constitutional interpretation, he thought, could be portrayed in song. Wang put his idea to the “will it write” test. He composed a comic opera with an important message brought out in the final duet, “We are different, we are one”—one in our reverence for the Constitution, the U.S. judiciary and the Court on which we serve. Would we listen to some excerpts from the opera, Wang asked, and then tell him whether we thought his work worthy of pursuit and performance? Good readers, as you leaf through the libretto, check some of the many footnotes disclosing Wang’s sources, and imagine me a dazzling diva, I think you will understand why, in answer to Wang’s question, I just said “Yes.” Preface by Justice Antonin Scalia: While Justice Ginsburg is confident that she has achieved her highest and best use as a Supreme Justice, I, alas, have the nagging doubt that I could have been a contendah—for a divus, or whatever a male diva is called.
