    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • A.A. Berle, Jr. Lecture Given Before the Conference on Social Meaning
    A.A. Berle, Jr. Lecture given before The Conference on Social Meaning of Legal Concepts of the Law School of New York University, April 3, 1950, New York Bar Association, New York, New York. Historical Inheritance of American Corporations The growing fruit of the Industrial Revolution is claimed by two principal heirs: the great corporation, and the political state. By historical process beginning a century and a quarter ago, these two forms of collective ownership have emerged as sole claimants to the huge task of administering the chief enterprises by which industrial life is carried on. The commissar, the socialist board of administration, the specialized government agency on the one hand; and the Board of Directors, the corporation executive, the division heads or the technical advisory staffs: these are the representatives with power to determine and execute the projects and policies of that sector of the economy which depends on machines. The pattern in this sense becomes increasingly clear year by year. It is appropriate to begin with a brief historical sketch indicating how this came about. Nor is the history merely a tale of the past. Apparently the organization of modern economics will have to absorb in the next few decades developments as great or greater than the sum of all the development since steam was first confined and set to turn wheels. Until the end of the Eighteenth Century, economics were dominated by agriculture. The sun and the rain on the earth gave food. Animals or human slaves supplied power and transport. Steam, appearing at the end of the Eighteenth Century, was fairly put to use in the first quarter of the Nineteenth Century.

    Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.'

  • William E. Leuchtenburg President American Historical Association 1991
    William E. Leuchtenburg President American Historical Association 1991 William E. Leuchtenburg The infectious enthusiasm, gentle humanism, and judicious scholarship of William E. Leuchtenburg have inspired students of American history for more than forty years. As a scholar, the 1991 president of the American Historical Association is known to historians as one of the leading authorities in the world on the United States in the twentieth century. As a teacher, Leuchtenburg has attracted legions of students at New York University, Smith College, and Harvard University, where he taught in his early years; at Columbia University where he was the De Witt Clinton Professor of History and taught for thirty years; and, since 1982, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he is the William Rand Kenan, Jr., Professor of History Born in New York City to working-class German and Irish parents who grew up in poverty in the Hell’s Kitchen district of Manhattan, Leuchtenburg spent his adolescent years in a small apartment on Gleane Street in Queens. The saying in his family for a good while has been “it’s a long way from Gleane Street,” as Leuchtenburg has been honored with not one but two endowed chairs and with distinguished senior fellowships, among them from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities and at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the National Humanities Center, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
