The Board of Trustees This year is marked by the termination of the chairmanship of Robert G. Dodge who has for twenty-four years been a mem- ber of the Board and for seventeen years its chairman. We have had many occasions on which to try to express the appreciation of the College for Mr. Dodge's magnificent service. All those efforts are inadequate to express the indebtedness we feel for the clarity of his vision, the soundness of his judgment, the keenness of his insight, and the strength of his kindness and generosity.

  • Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.

  • Discovery Volume 24 Issue 1 SUMMER 2019 Number of Cartridges Increased Per Patron
    North Dakota State Library Talking Books Discovery Volume 24 Issue 1 SUMMER 2019 Number Of Cartridges Increased Per Patron One of the projects we are working on this summer is returning our physical copy books to NLS. All the active patrons are now receiving books via Duplication on Demand, meaning each cartridge is specifically duplicated for each patron. With this change, it has been decided to increase the maximum number of cartridges you can receive to five. If you would like to increase your number of cartridges, please call 1-800-843-9948 and let Liz or James know. Need Help? • Not getting the books you like? • Not getting enough? • Getting too many? • Have you changed your address or phone number? • Do you need to update your address? If you ever feel like you are not receiving all of your books, there are several reasons this might happen: • You have exhausted your list with all the books written by your favorite authors or reading interests. • You are set up as “request only” but have not given us new titles to add to your account. • You are at your limit and need to return some items. • Your desired reading preferences are too limited. • You have overdue items. DISCOVERY 2 SUMMER Screen Magnifier Thanks to the generosity of the Bowman Regional Public Library, the Talking Book Library now has a Merlin Enhanced Vision screen magnifier. Anyone can come to the library to use it or ask for a demonstration. This useful tool makes it easier for those with low vision to enlarge objects for easier viewing.
