  • Finding Aid for the Cleveland Press Photograph Collection
    Finding aid for the Cleveland Press Photograph Collection Repository: Cleveland State University Title: Cleveland Press Photograph Collection Inclusive Date(s): 1920-1982 Author: Finding aid prepared by Lynn Duchez Bycko Creation: Finding aid encoded by Kiffany Francis using the OhioLINK EAD Application in 2009 Descriptive Rules: Finding aid prepared using Finding aid prepared using Describing Archives: A Content Standard. Origination: Cole, Joseph E. Extent: 882 linear feet Physical Location: Abstract: After the Cleveland Press newspaper ceased publication on June 17, 1982. Joseph E. Cole, its publisher, donated the "morgue" to Cleveland State University. Representing the archived editorial library, sometimes referred to as a "newspaper morgue," topics focus on the news coverage of northeastern Ohio, with national and international news stories holding a secondary level of importance.The Cleveland Press photograph collection is composed of an archive of over one million photographs. Unit ID: PH2000.000PRE Language(s) of the Materials: English History of The Cleveland Press The Cleveland Press, founded by Edward W. Scripps, began as the Penny Press on 2 Nov. 1878. A small, 4-page afternoon daily, the paper continued to prosper. Shortened to the Press in 1884, and finally the Cleveland Press in 1889, by 1903 the Press was Cleveland's leading daily newspaper. As it entered the 1920s, the Press neared 200,000 in circulation. Louis B. Seltzer became the 12th editor of the Press in 1928, and under his 38-year stewardship the Press became one of the country's most influential newspapers. Seltzer readjusted its original working-class bias into a less controversial neighborhood orientation, stressing personal contacts and promoting the slogan "The Newspaper That Serves Its Readers." In the postwar period the Press continued its public service campaigns and remained an unrivaled force in Ohio politics.

  • You Are Creating a Brighter Future BETHLEHEM UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION / ANNUAL REPORT / FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020 My Thanks for Your Generosity and Commitment
    You Are Creating a Brighter Future BETHLEHEM UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION / ANNUAL REPORT / FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020 My Thanks for Your Generosity and Commitment Dear Friends, Thank you for your support of the Bethlehem University Foundation. Your gifts are a testimony to your vision — that of creating a brighter future. With your support of Catholic education, you are forming the future peacemakers of the Holy Land. I am grateful for your generosity. In this Annual Report, I invite you to take a closer look at the lasting difference your gifts make and encourage you to learn more about how endowed gifts at the Foundation create a perpetual and sustainable future for Bethlehem University. In this report you will discover that the past year was filled with celebrations and successes: • New endowed funds established by Lieutenancies, Knights, and Dames of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. • Award winners from our November 2019 reception, and the welcoming of Cardinal O’Brien as a Patron. • Endowed scholarships created by several families to honor their loved ones. • Expressions of gratitude toward our Board, Patrons, and donors this fiscal year. • Charts showing income and expenses for Bethlehem University Foundation for the fiscal year 2019-2020. Early in 2020, the world united in the fight against an invisible enemy, COVID-19. The city of Bethlehem was put on lockdown in early March, but with your critical support, the University successfully completed the spring semester and summer session with online learning. Your generous response provided the means for the Foundation to offer extra help to the University in its time of desperate need.

  • Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D. Statement on the Proposed 'Don't
    Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D. Statement on the Proposed ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ Legislation (01.VI.10) In a response to a request from the Chiefs of Chaplains of the Armed Forces I communicated some considerations and concerns regarding the proposal to change the existing legislation regarding persons with a homosexual orientation in the military. In fulfilling my role as the chief shepherd of Catholics in the United States Armed Forces, I have had the opportunity of visiting many installations in the recent past. A number of chaplains and commanding officers have expressed concerns about the effects of a change. There is a request for guidance. The teaching of the Catholic Church is clearly expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial.
