Upon the occupa­ tion of the City by the British in September, 1776, he removed to Fishkill, where he continued its publication. Through the courtesy of Dr. Austin Baxter Keep, the Library secured photostat copies of thirteen letters written by Samuel Loudon between the years 1767 and 1795, the originals of which are in the pdssession of the Peck Library of the Norwich Free Academy, Norwich, Conn.

  • Rachel Mason: the Lives of Hamilton Fish Rock Opera and Album Launch
    For Immediate Release: Rachel Mason: The Lives of Hamilton Fish Rock opera and album launch Performances: Friday, March 6, 2015; Saturday, March 7, 2015 Time: 7 pm Rachel Mason, The Lives of Hamilton Fish (HD video still), 2014. Image courtesy the artist. Tickets: $12 Location: ROOT Studios, 443 West 18th Street, New York, NY http://www.artingeneral.org/events Art in General 79 Walker Street New York, NY 10013 www.artingeneral.org Press contact: Aimee Chan-Lindquist [email protected] Art in General is thrilled to present the Manhattan debut of Rachel Mason’s rock opera The Lives of Hamilton Fish March 6–7, 2015. The Lives of Hamilton Fish is a cinematic performance based on figures who lived in New York state during the Great Depression. The deaths of serial killer and a statesman—both named Hamilton Fish—are announced on the same day. Hamilton Fish II is a descendant of one of the most prominent families on the east coast, and Hamilton “Albert” Fish is a psychopath and notorious murderer. A newspaper editor, played by Mason in drag, becomes obsessed with this coincidence after publishing their simultaneous obituaries on his front page. The film’s story is told entirely through original songs performed live, as a surreal tale unfolds where supernatural events and historic facts merge in a wild, musical journey. Scenes were filmed at historic sites including Sing Sing prison, where Mason was a volunteer art teacher from 2005-2010, and the Jumel-Morris Mansion, where Alexander Hamilton was shot. Real locations are intercut with fabricated sets imagined as abstract paintings, mimicking the actors’ makeup and costume design.

  • Four Turning Points in Columbia's History
    COLUMBIA columbia university DIGITAL KNOWLEDGE VENTURES OUR PAST ENGAGED: FOUR TURNING POINTS IN COLUMBIA’S HISTORY April 27, 2004 ROBERT McCAUGHEY COLUMBIA '68: A CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF STUDENT POWER Welcome and Introduction Eric Foner: Hello everybody. And welcome to the fourth of the four panels' lectures, "Our Past Engaged: Four Turning Points in Columbia's Recent History." I notice that we have a group of guests here. I'm not sure what they are planning or hoping to do, but as long as they are peaceful and quiet and do not disrupt the proceedings, if they want to sit there it's fine with me. On the other hand, I hope and expect that the discussion will go on in the way that we expect here at the University, in a reasoned and academic manner. I was also asked to announce that the previous lectures in this series, as well as much supporting material about the 250th anniversary of Columbia University, is available on the Columbia 250 Web site, which can be accessed through the Columbia Web site—the home page—which you all probably know about. So I'm Eric Foner from the history department, and I've been asked to be the moderator. I'm very happy to be here tonight. And the first thing that I want to do is to identify Professor Robert McCaughey, who is the speaker tonight, but also to indicate that he has really been the one who has organized these sessions. He's written a most remarkable, wonderful book on the history of Columbia, Stand Columbia, and he has been the person who introduced the previous three speakers.

Ennis founded the Eastport School of Art in Maine in 1922, and was a founder of and taught at the Grand Central Painters and Sculptors Gallery and School of Art in New York. In 1929 he was appointed Head of the John and Mable Ringling Art Museum at Sarasota, Florida. In October 1932, Ennis opened the George Pearse Ennis School of Painting in New York City. He was a member of the Allied Artists of America, the American Watercolor Society, the Aquarelists, the Artists Aid Society, the Artists Fund Society, the Boston Art Club, the Florida Fine Arts Association, the Guild of American Painters, the New York Architectural League, the New York Watercolor Club, of which he was elected president in 1933, the New York Society of Painters, and the Salmagundi Club.
