Catherine McNeur Parks, People, and Property Values The Changing Role of Green Spaces in Antebellum Manhattan Abstract: The role that parks played in Manhattan changed dramatically during the antebellum period. Originally dismissed as unnecessary on an island embraced by rivers, parks became a tool for real estate development and gentrification in the 1830s. By the 1850s, politicians, journalists, and landscape architects believed Central Park could be a social salve for a city with rising crime rates, increasingly visible poverty, and deepening class divisions. While many factors (public health, the psychological need for parks, and property values) would remain the same, the changing social conversation showed how ideas of public space were transforming, in rhetoric if not reality. When Andrew Jackson Downing penned his famous essays between 1848 and 1851 calling for New York City to build a great public park to rival those in Europe, there was growing support among New Yorkers for a truly public green space.

    Female Sportswriters of the Roaring Twenties

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THEY ARE WOMEN, HEAR THEM ROAR: FEMALE SPORTSWRITERS OF THE ROARING TWENTIES A Thesis in Mass Communications by David Kaszuba © 2003 David Kaszuba Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2003 The thesis of David Kaszuba was reviewed and approved* by the following: Ford Risley Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee Patrick R. Parsons Associate Professor of Communications Russell Frank Assistant Professor of Communications Adam W. Rome Associate Professor of History John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in Mass Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Contrary to the impression conveyed by many scholars and members of the popular press, women’s participation in the field of sports journalism is not a new or relatively recent phenomenon. Rather, the widespread emergence of female sports reporters can be traced to the 1920s, when gender-based notions about employment and physicality changed substantially. Those changes, together with a growing leisure class that demanded expanded newspaper coverage of athletic heroes, allowed as many as thirty-five female journalists to make inroads as sports reporters at major metropolitan newspapers during the 1920s. Among these reporters were the New York Herald Tribune’s Margaret Goss, one of several newspaperwomen whose writing focused on female athletes; the Minneapolis Tribune’s Lorena Hickok, whose coverage of a male sports team distinguished her from virtually all of her female sports writing peers; and the New York Telegram’s Jane Dixon, whose reports on boxing and other sports from a so-called “woman’s angle” were representative of the way most women cracked the male-dominated field of sports journalism.

DALE L. CRESSMAN News in Lights The Times Square Zipper and Newspaper Signs in an Age of Technological Enthusiasm During the latter half of the nineteenth century, when the telegraph had produced an appetite for breaking news, New York City newspaper publishers used signs on their buildings to report headlines and promote their newspapers. Originally, chalkboards were used to post headlines. But, fierce competition led to the use of new technologies, such as magic lantern projections. These and, later, electrically lighted signs, would evoke amazement. In 1928, during an age of invention, the New York Times installed an electric “moving letter” sign on its building in Times Square.

    The Great Polar Controversy: D R Cook, Mt. Mckinley, And

    THE GREAT POLAR CONTROVERSY: DR COOK, MT. MCKINLEY, AND THE QUEST FOR THE POLES Michael Sfraga College of Rural Alaska P.O. Box 756500 University of Alaska Fairbanks Fairbanks, Alaska 99775 Dennis Stephens Rasmuson Library P. 0. Box 756800 University of Alaska Fairbanks Fairbanks, Alaska 99775 ABSTRACT: In September 1906, Dr. Frederick A. Cook announced to a receptive public that he and Ed Barrill had successfully climbed Mt. McKinley by a "new route from the North." It was a time of keen interest in exploration, particularly of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. While Cook's was initially hailed as the first ascent of North America's highest mountain, his report came under increasing scrutiny as details came to light (or failed to come to light, as the case may be.) The controversy surrounding Cook's Mt. McKinley climb assumed increasing importance in the context of his claim to have been the first to reach the North Pole in April, 1908. The Doctor's claim was disputed by Robert E. Peary, who announced that he himself was first to the Pole in April, 1909, and that Cook "should not be taken too seriously." The chain of events that followed affected the course of exploration at both poles. This paper will examine the bases for Cook's claim to have been first on McKinley and first at the North Pole; the sequence of events that has led to general scepticism about Cook's claims; and the figures in Arctic and Antarctic exploration who were caught up in a dispute that continues to the current day.
  • Central Park As a Model for Social Control: Urban Parks, Social Class and Leisure Behavior in Nineteenth-Century America

    Central Park As a Model for Social Control: Urban Parks, Social Class and Leisure Behavior in Nineteenth-Century America

    Journal of Leisure Research Copyright 1999 1999, Vol. 31, No. 4, pp. 420-477 National Recreation and Park Association Central Park as a Model for Social Control: Urban Parks, Social Class and Leisure Behavior in Nineteenth-Century America Dorceta E. Taylor University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment Throughout the nineteenth century, the leading landscape architects and park advocates believed that parks were important instruments of enlightenment and social control. Consequendy, they praised and promoted parks for their health- giving characteristics and character-molding capabilities. Landscape architects used these arguments to convince city governments to invest in elaborate urban parks. Many of these parks became spaces of social and political contestation. As die middle and working class mingled in these spaces, conflicts arose over appropriate park use and behavior. The escalating tensions between the middle and working class led to working class activism for increased access to park space and for greater latitude in defining working class leisure behavior. These struggles laid die foundation for the recreation movement. They were also piv- otal in the emergence of urban, multiple-use parks designed for both active and passive recreation. KEYWORDS: Urban parks, social control, inequality, leisure, recreation, social class, landscape architects, Olmsted, Central Park, environment. Introduction A Social Constructionist Perspective Historical accounts of American parks tend to ignore the constructionist perspective in analyses of urban parks. In addition, few historical analyses view urban parks as contested spaces, do systematic examination of class relations in the parks, or recognize the use of parks as tools of social control. This paper addresses this oversight.

Michael J Kennedy, Commissioner for Brooklyn and Queens, was reappointed. In appointing the new members of the Board his Honor expressed the desire that the public be given the fullest measure of enjoyment in the parks, and that they should be maintained with that idea in mind; and also that all considerations of politics, race or creed be eliminated from the government and regulation of the work- ing force. The Board has endeavored to administer the parks from these stand- points during the year. The expenditures for the account of the Board during the year amounted to $27,900, all for salaries of the Commissioners, Secretary and other officers.

Like most legends, this one contains some truth. The Herald 's alluring image first attracted me in 19^9 , upon reading Frank Luther Mott’s monumental work on the history of American journalism.^ Exposure to other books in­ creased my curiosity and I resolved to measure, if possible, the truth of the image for the period 191?-to 1939» The press of circumstances, however, thwarted the project until the summer of 1964.

Inquiry into the Park’s more than 150 years of physical, social, natural, and cultural history — from those who seek to learn from it and those who seek to care for it — is constant. CENTRAL PARK CONSERVANCY CENTRAL PARK: A RESEARCH GUIDE 3 Central Park: A Research Guide (2019 Version) Since 1980, Central Park Conservancy has worked to restore and manage the Park. This effort has constantly involved exploring and seeking to understand its various historic layers.
