2019 Centennial Report
100YEARS INDEFENSE OFFREEDOM CENTENNIALREPORT In 1920—just after World War I—a small group of people met in a Beacon Home of ACLU of Massachusetts co-founder Hill home to resist a widespread government clampdown on immigrants, Margaret Shurcliff | Boston anti-war dissenters, and labor organizers. These Bay Staters joined the call Carol Rose, executive director at the ACLU of of Massachusetts-born ACLU founder Roger Baldwin. Together, they formed Massachusetts, stands outside the historic residence where a small group of activists the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts—the first ACLU state affiliate in founded the organization in 1920. the nation. The ACLU has always been rooted in courage and guided by a vision: to extend the promise of civil rights and civil liberties to all people. In 1920, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a single free speech claim. So- called radicals were rounded up and deported in droves. Activists languished in jail for distributing anti-war literature and for promoting contraception and equal rights. Women won the right to vote just that year, and the Voting Rights Act was decades away. Equal rights for LGBTQ people were unthinkable. And yet, the ACLU dared to envision how, by standing together in support of civil rights and civil liberties, we could create a more just and equitable nation for all. Much has changed in the last century—but our role has not. For 100 years, the ACLU has been the leading defender of freedom here in Massachusetts and nationwide. The ACLU has grown from a small group of idealists to a vast resistance movement. -

Box 71 Vincennes, Indiana 47591 March 28, 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen: Vincennes is Indiana’s first city, and this historic community lays claim to many other Indiana firsts—first bank, first newspaper, first university, first hospital, and the capital of the Indiana Territory, before Indiana became a state.DOUGLAS It seems E. STEELE fitting, PRESIDENT that Vincennes should also be home to the first Rotary club chartered in a town of less than 25,000 people, a town that Rotary International thought was too small to sustain a club! After nearly two years of persistence, and with the help and sponsorship of the Terre Haute Rotary Club, Vincennes received its charter, and the rest is history. We not only became a viable Rotary club but have been an active, vibrant club that is doing what good Rotary clubs do—making a difference in their community and beyond! Welcome to the Vincennes Rotary Centennial Celebration, and thank you for helping us celebrate our successful, first 100 years. Last October, we were the first club in District 6580 to conduct a three-year visioning process which, I feel confident, will help us to positively kick off our second 100 years. -

Set up, electrotyped, and published April, 1904. Norwood Press Smith Co, J. S. Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Norwood^ Mass.f U.S.A. INTRODUCTION In spite of the utilitarian tendencies of the present age, it is fortunately no longer necessary to argue in behalf of sport; even the busiest of busy Americans have at last learned the neces- sity for a certain amount of relaxation and rec- reation, and that the best way to these lies in the pursuit of some form of outdoor sport. While each has its stanch adherents, who pro- claim its superiority to all others, the sport of yachting can perhaps show as much to its credit as any. As a means to perfect physical development, one great point in all sports, it has the advantage of being followed outdoors in the bracing atmos- phere of the sea; and while it involves severe physical labor and at times actual hardships, it fits its devotees to withstand and enjoy both. In the matter of competition, the salt and savor of all sport, yachting opens a wide and varied field. In cruising there is a constant strife 219316 vi Introduction with the elements, and in racing there is the contest of brain and hand against those of equal adversaries. -

Subsequently, Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene climatic warming melted glaciers and caused global sea level rise, flooding portions of the shelf and countless archaeological sites. Importantly, archaeological reconstructions of human subsistence and settlement patterns prior to the establishment of the modern coastline are incomplete without a consideration of the whole landscape once available to prehistoric peoples and now partially under water. -

1910 Journal
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. Monday, October 10, 1910. The court met pursuant to law. Present: Mr. Justice Harlan, Mr. Justice White, Mr. Justice McKenna, Mr. Justice Holmes, Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice Lurton, and Mr. Justice Hughes. Mr. Justice Harlan, Presiding Justice, said: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Since the last term the Honorable Charles Evans Hughes has been appointed an associate justice of this court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Justice Brewer. Mr. Hughes is present and prepared to take the required oath of office. The court extends a most cordial welcome to the new member. The clerk will read his commission and administer the oath." The clerk then read the commission and Mr. Hughes took the oath of office and was escorted by the marshal to his seat on the bench. Mr. Justice Harlan continued: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Since its last session this court has sus- tained a very great loss. The earthly career of the Chief Justice has been closed by death. This sad event occurred on the 4th day of Juty of the present year at his summer residence, after nearly twenty- three years of continuous and distinguished service on this bench. He met the final summons with that calmness of spirit and compo- sure of mind that marked his whole life. From his early manhood he walked in the good way, uprightly before God and his fellow-men, and passed from this life into the life be}T ond the grave in the con- fident belief, I doubt not, that the Maker and Ruler of the Earth ordereth all things aright.
