About $5.5 million worth of renovations and technological improvements have been made to the 47-year-old building that was one of the Mt. Pleasant campus’ original structures used for music and art classes when the college expanded its curriculum to offer a liberal arts program. This semester, Alger reopened as a state-of-the-art, 28,000-square- foot facility with 40 offi ces, two high-tech conference rooms and eight technology-driven classrooms to serve the 1,000 students and 27 faculty members in the college’s School of Management. “Alger has been re-designed Continued on p 11 NEW AND IMPROVED: An all-new Alger Hall opened this semester with state-of-the-art, technology-driven classrooms and conference rooms.

The book is based on letters, extensive interviews, and research about the school. In 1886, Luke and Juliette Dorland, Presbyterian missionaries and educators, retired to Hot Springs, North Carolina. However, at the request of residents in this rural village, they soon were teaching 25 students in their home. Luke Dorland appealed to his former employer, the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, and $300 was granted for books and equipment. At their own expense, the Dorlands built a two-story frame schoolhouse to accommodate the growing number of students. By 1894, the school, known as the Dorland Institute, had grown to include a girls' dormitory, an expanded schoolhouse, and additional teachers. In 1918, the Dorland Institute consolidated with the Bell Institute, a large day school for girls. Dorland-Bell School now included seven acres of land, boarding facilities for 100 girls in the village, and a 300-acre farm with housing for 40 boys.

  • The 1944 Witan
    OF CHARLOTTE HIGH SCHOOL ROCHESTER, NEW YORK THE 1944 WI TAN * Under the flags of country and school, we have striven in the past to become useful and deserving citizens of the United States. In the post-war world, we must not only try for these goals, but also become worth-while citizens of the world. The post-war era will not be an easy one. There will be far-reaching changes, ensuing confusion. Yet, more than ever before, opportunities to promote tolerance, the dignity of the individual, the culture of a pro­ gressive and liberal civilization will be present. So, we move forward head-high, with the ardent hope thai our post-war world will be truly enveloped in a new "Golden Age."

  • History of Narragansett, RI from 1800-1999: a Chronology of Major Events
    History of Narragansett, RI from 1800-1999: A Chronology of Major Events Richard Vangermeersch Lois Pazienza Production Editor Sue Bush Editorial Assistant For The Narragansett Historical Society With a special thanks to Angel Ferria and Sarina Rodrigues of the Library at the University of Rhode Island and Reference Librarians At the PeaceDale Library 2017 Revised 3_27_17 I-1 INTRODUCTION The longer an author waits to write the final draft of the introduction, the better that draft is. A project as long as this has many twists and turns until a real understanding of the project finally comes together. Ultimately the overriding goal was the “instant archive” available for the Narragansett Historical Society over 16 time periods for 35 topics. The author has been involved in historical research for well over 50 years and has not seen an “Instant Archive” anywhere in his many travels throughout the world. This “Instant Archive” should be of great help to researchers of Narragansett, RI history. The author plans to add time periods for 2000-2005 and 2006-2010 within a year. He hopes others will add various topics before 1800. The most visible part of this “Instant Archive” is the chronology of Narragansett, RI history from 1800 through 1999. The author has done many different chronologies, so he does have much academic and popular-type history experiences. His goal is to have readers enjoy the items in each time period, so that they would do a complete read of the chronology. Hopefully, the author will achieve this goal. In addition to this chronology, researchers can view all the index cards collected from this research.

A native of Dayton, Ohio, she and her twin sister Karen T. Borchers (also a photojournalist) took up photography in high school and refined their technique as undergraduates at Bowling Green State University. After receiving her master's degree at the Indiana University School of Journalism in 1981, Borchers worked for three years with the Topeka Capital-Journal before landing in Providence. In addition to covering general news and sports, she took on a number of special assignments and longer-form photoessays over the years in southern New England. She retired in 2015. A rich sampling from a long career in photojournalism, the collection includes photographic negatives and prints along with associated published materials. Centered primarily on her time with the Providence Journal, the collection reflects the breadth of Borchers' assignments, including general news, sports coverage, and longer-form photoessays, in both black and white and color The collection also includes five self-made books: three on long-term photographic projects for the Journal and two career retrospectives.
