Anderson Professor Keith D. Watenpaugh Fall 2012 The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) © Copyright 2012, Melanie Tanielian All Rights Reserved Abstract The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) By Melanie Tanielian History University of California, Berkeley Professor Beshara Doumani, Chair World War I, no doubt, was a pivotal event in the history of the Middle East, as it marked the transition from empires to nation states. Taking Beirut and Mount Lebanon as a case study, the dissertation focuses on the experience of Ottoman civilians on the homefront and exposes the paradoxes of the Great War, in its totalizing and transformative nature. Focusing on the causes and symptoms of what locals have coined the ‘war of famine’ as well as on international and local relief efforts, the dissertation demonstrates how wartime privations fragmented the citizenry, turning neighbor against neighbor and brother against brother, and at the same time enabled social and administrative changes that resulted in the consolidation and strengthening of bureaucratic hierarchies and patron-client relationships. This dissertation is a detailed analysis of socio-economic challenges that the war posed for Ottoman subjects, focusing primarily on the distorting effects of food shortages, disease, wartime requisitioning, confiscations and conscriptions on everyday life as well as on the efforts of the local municipality and civil society organizations to provision and care for civilians.

    Simsbury Free Library Quarterly Volume 21 Issue 4 Spring-Summer 2015 The Neighborhood House in Weatogue Part 2: Antecedents in the Work of Weatogue’s Three Ministers The preceding part of this article dealt with the founding of Weatogue’s Neighborhood House in 1905, the moving and refurbishing of the donated building and a sampling of the dinners and cultural programs given in the house. This second part will explore some of the events that preceded the founding of this institution, which was dedicated to the wellbeing of all residents of the community and town. In the early twentieth century, the Weatogue section of the town of Simsbury was fertile ground for the planting of an institution that had for its mission the assimilation of recent immigrants and the betterment of society's less fortunate peoples. Rev. Charles Pitman Croft and his wife Julia Mather Croft were the prime movers behind this effort, but they were substantially aided by many in Simsbury who had generous natures and either time or money to be of help. It was particularly fortunate that there were two other Protestant ministers living in close proximity, who, like Rev. Croft, were not pastors of any church, and who helped each other in their chosen civic projects. These were the Reverends Horace Winslow and D. Stuart Dodge and they arrived in Weatogue and Bushy Hill, respectively, in the early 1880s. Rev. Horace Winslow (1814-1905) was the eldest. Born in Massachusetts, he earned his Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, and attended the Theological Seminary at Auburn and the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER When I was a Ph.D. student at TC during the 1970s my advisor Donna Shalala secured a tin shack on the roof of Dodge Hall where all her students would share offices and collaborate. I remember that rooftop shack fondly as a clubhouse where a fascinating mix of people gathered to share ideas and apply them to problems on the ground. I returned to TC as President in 2006 with the memory of that clubhouse – and of the College itself – as a place where brilliant people of all backgrounds and talents could break bread together. Not long afterward, Provost Tom James and I decided to realize that vision by instituting a series of “domain dinners” – gatherings organized around issues such as globalization, policy, and creativity and the imagination – where faculty from all departments could meet, argue, learn and plant the seeds for future collaborations. As you read this special 125th anniversary issue of TC Today, think of it as an extended domain dinner that bridges TC departments and disciplines and reaches across the decades to include the thinkers whose ideas continue to shape our work.

    The American Jewish Year Book 5689

    The American Jewish Year Book 5689 September 15, 1928, to October 5, 1929 Volume 30 Edited by HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN for the AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1928 COPYRIGHT, 1928 BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA Printed at THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY'S PRESS Philadelphia. Penna., U.S.A. PREFACE The leading special feature in this volume is an article by DR. H. S. LINFIELD on the Jewish population of the United States, based upon information gathered by him as director of the Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committee. DR. LINFIELD'S study shows that there are now in the United States approximately 4,130,000 Jews widely distributed throughout the country in both urban and rural places. There are Jews in all cities of the country having a population of 25,000 or over. But it is interesting to note, that Jews do not live only in the large cities, for they are also to be found in over 80% of the cities of 2,500 to 25,000 population, in over 30% of incorporated villages of less than 2,500 population and in 7% of rural unincorporated areas. In all, there are over 6,000 places throughout the country which have Jewish inhabitants. DR. LINFIELD also made a study of the Jewish congregations in the United States, as Special Agent of the United States Bureau of the Census, in connection with the Census of Religious Bodies undertaken by that Bureau. Unfortunately it was not possible for him to prepare a report on the subject in time for publication in this volume, but a pre- liminary statement, together with a table by states is given.

    Negotiating Competing Progressive Era Reform Impulses at Teachers College, 1889-1927 ______

    ____________________________________________________________________________ Negotiating Competing Progressive Era Reform Impulses at Teachers College, 1889-1927 ____________________________________________________________________________ Sonia Murrow, Brooklyn College Mary Rose McCarthy, Pace University Abstract This case study situates the evolution of Teachers College as a negotiation between two strands of Progressive Era social reform—one that emphasized direct service and one that emphasized the development of education as a profession. While in the early years of Teachers College efforts at professionalizing education were privileged, the conse- quences of this “victory” were ironic. Increased agreement that teaching and adminis- tering schools required expert knowledge and skill that could be acquired by specialized training enhanced the position of Teachers College, Columbia University and its reputation. However, ultimately neither teaching nor school administration achieved the status of an autonomous and self-regulating profession. This case study provides his- torical evidence that suggests that failure has left college and university based teacher education vulnerable to criticism from the “descendants” of direct service reformers and sheds light on contemporary challenges to teacher education. Keywords: history of education, teacher education, progressive era, professionalization On Feb. 22, 1923, over 1200 members of the Teachers College, Columbia University communi- ty gathered to celebrate the 25th anniversary of James
