  • Echo and Pine
    Get Your Kicks at the 50th June 2-5, 2016 Echo and Pine 1 Letter from the President Dear Members of the Classes of 1966: On this noteworthy anniversary, it is my great pleasure to welcome you, the trailblazing members of the Classes of 1966, back to campus. From my conversations with many of you and from the memories you share in the following pages, it is apparent that the social and political upheavals of the mid-1960s – and their expressions on campus – substantially shaped your worldviews and your lives. Equally apparent is the collective sense of the Colleges’ impact on the way in which your Classes navigated those turbulent times, from the attentiveness and care of the faculty and administration, to the camaraderie of the student body, to the thought-provoking nature of the coursework. As we join together in celebrating with you this Golden Jubilee, perhaps most apparent is the remarkable success of the Classes of 1966, not only in spite of the changing national landscape 50 years ago, but also because of it. Through the burgeoning Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War, through the Cold War and the advent of the Internet, through the 9/11 attacks and increasing globalization, your classes have thrived in this changing world and helped shape it – as doctors and educators; business and religious leaders; attorneys and musicians; service-members in law enforcement and the military; Fulbright winners and world-travelers; local, national and international volunteers; and parents and grandparents. On behalf of our faculty, staff and students, I thank you for joining us this weekend and for your indelible contributions to your communities, your country and your alma maters.

    Caird Center for Sports and Recreation Completed during the summer of 2010, the Caird Center for Sports and Recreation unites several keystone elements of the Colleges’ remaining athletics campaign priorities, including Boswell Field, the Froelich Gatehouse and the Elliott Varsity House expansion. The Caird Center provides boundary definition for the western-edge of campus and carves out space dedicated to athletics and recreation that extends beyond any one building. The project provides broad-reaching support that directly benefits all students who participate in intramural, club sports, outdoor and other wellness programs, in addition to nearly two-thirds of HWS varsity athletes, including the foot- ball, lacrosse, squash, and tennis teams. Named in honor of the remarkable dedication and generosity of Jim ’56 and Cindy Caird, the renovation project included a state-of-the- art FieldTurf surface for Boswell Field, a new grandstand and press box, lights for night games, and expanded locker rooms and sports medicine facilities in Elliott Varsity House. Additional Facilities Hobart and William Smith feature some of the finest athletic facilities in the nation. The Hobart football team has several practice fields, including the natural grass Stiles Field and the full-length indoor Bristol Field House. The Statesmen prepare for games and practices in the Eden Football Team Room. Student-athletes also have exclusive access to the RFK Varsity Strength Training Center, the Drury Athletic Suite, the Piltch ’82 and Feldman Classroom, the Collins Video Editing Room, and the Athletic Director’s Suite.

  • Advisory Entrepreneurship, Fiscal Competence & the Presidency 1977-2009
    BANKRUPTING AMERICA: ADVISORY ENTREPRENEURSHIP, FISCAL COMPETENCE & THE PRESIDENCY 1977-2009 by James Clark Gillies B.A., The University of Victoria, 2000 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2011 James Clark Gillies, 2011 Abstract This study focuses on the presidential advisory system through the lens of fiscal policy in order to develop a better understanding of how modern presidents utilize their advisers and how through a process of advisory entrepreneurship, advisers compete among each other for the president’s attention and time. A set of ideal types of presidential advisers is developed in an effort to shift away from studying the presidency through traditional notions of staff hierarchies and management of the White House to the actual selection of advisers. This research traces fiscal policymaking from the Carter administration through the administration of George W. Bush by using a qualitative case study approach, with elite interviews and a quantitative test of ideal adviser types on fiscal policy, to provide a view of the decision making process inside the White House that often gets submerged in larger institutional studies of Washington. The study also offers an important perspective in explaining how presidents can veer away from fiscal competence. Presidential advisory systems matter a great deal to the policies that get passed through Congress. The fiscal policies themselves are the mark of what presidential advisers often decide is best for the country.
