We know these results are due to graduates—shining examples of which we celebrate in this our faculty’s high professional standards, constant focus on Villa Voice. our mission, spirit of caring, and eagerness to work at the leading edge of teaching and learning methods. Sincerely, Polly Duplace, Principal In this Issue: Portrait of a St. Ursula Villa Graduate As part of St. Ursula Villa's Strategic Plan, the Board of Trustees challenged its Marketing Committee to define the elements of a St. Ursula Villa education which contribute to each of our graduates’ well-documented success. The predominant attributes of a Villa graduate are clearly connected to our mission as a Catholic Ursuline school to nurture the whole child, foster academic excellence, and instill a Christ-centered commitment to society. Every aspect of a St. Ursula Villa education, including academic and extracurricular activities, directly promotes these attributes in every student. This “Portrait of a St. Ursula Villa Graduate “ emerged from extensive meetings with key faculty, administration, current and past parents, current and past board members, as well as top high school administrators who are very familiar with our graduates during their journey through the Villa, high school, college, and beyond. Strong consensus from these conversations resulted in consistent themes encompassing four distinct characteristics: Lifelong Learner, Confident & Engaged Individual, Compassionate Citizen, and Respectful Advocate.

  • Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021
    Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Updated January 25, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL30857 Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Summary Each new House elects a Speaker by roll call vote when it first convenes. Customarily, the conference of each major party nominates a candidate whose name is placed in nomination. A Member normally votes for the candidate of his or her own party conference but may vote for any individual, whether nominated or not. To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all the votes cast for individuals. This number may be less than a majority (now 218) of the full membership of the House because of vacancies, absentees, or Members answering “present.” This report provides data on elections of the Speaker in each Congress since 1913, when the House first reached its present size of 435 Members. During that period (63rd through 117th Congresses), a Speaker was elected six times with the votes of less than a majority of the full membership. If a Speaker dies or resigns during a Congress, the House immediately elects a new one. Five such elections occurred since 1913. In the earlier two cases, the House elected the new Speaker by resolution; in the more recent three, the body used the same procedure as at the outset of a Congress. If no candidate receives the requisite majority, the roll call is repeated until a Speaker is elected. Since 1913, this procedure has been necessary only in 1923, when nine ballots were required before a Speaker was elected.

  • House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Name Redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process
    The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative name redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process November 12, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 97-780 The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Summary The Speaker of the House of Representatives is widely viewed as symbolizing the power and authority of the House. The Speaker’s most prominent role is that of presiding officer of the House. In this capacity, the Speaker is empowered by House rules to administer proceedings on the House floor, including recognition of Members to speak on the floor or make motions and appointment of Members to conference committees. The Speaker also oversees much of the non- legislative business of the House, such as general control over the Hall of the House and the House side of the Capitol and service as chair of the House Office Building Commission. The Speaker’s role as “elect of the elect” in the House also places him or her in a highly visible position with the public. The Speaker also serves as not only titular leader of the House but also leader of the majority party conference. The Speaker is often responsible for airing and defending the majority party’s legislative agenda in the House. The Speaker’s third distinct role is that of an elected Member of the House. Although elected as an officer of the House, the Speaker continues to be a Member as well. As such the Speaker enjoys the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges of all Representatives.

  • Chapter CLII.1 the OATH
    Chapter CLII.1 THE OATH. 1. Administration to the Speaker. Sections 6, 7. 2. Limited jurisdiction of the Speaker in administering. Section 8. 3. Challenging the right of a Member to be sworn. Sections 9–11. 4. Administration before arrival of credentials. Sections 12, 13. 5. Administration to Members away from House. Sections 14–19. 6. Administration by Speaker pro tempore. Section 20. 7. Relations to the quorum, reading of the Journal and Calendar Wednesday. Sec- tions 21, 22. 6. While the oath has usually been administered to the Speaker by the Member of longest consecutive service, that practice is not always fol- lowed.—On May 19, 1919,2 the oath of office was administered to Speaker Fred- erick H. Gillett, himself the ‘‘Father of the House,’’ by Mr. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, who, though the Member of longest service, was one of the younger Mem- bers of the House in consecutive service. 7. On April 4, 1911,3 Mr. J. Fred C. Talbott, of Maryland, one of the older Members of the House, but not the oldest in consecutive service, administered the oath to Mr. Speaker Clark. 8. Previously it was the custom to administer the oath by State delega- tions, but beginning with the Seventy-first Congress Members elect have been sworn in en masse.—On April 15, 1929,4 following the administration of the oath of office to the Speaker elect, the Speaker 5 after addressing the House announced: The Chair asks the attention of all the Members of the House for a moment. The Chair has decided to practice an innovation in the manner of administering the oath of office to Members.

  • Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati
    Spring 1988 Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati Abby S. Schwartz ... A little bit of an ugly man came in...he came forward and, taking my hand and squeezing it hard, he looked at me with a keen, earnest gaze. ... His manners are extremely rough and almost course, but his shrewd eyes and plain manner hide a very strong mind and generous heart.1 These observations made in 1841 by the young artist Lilly Martin Spencer hardly seem appropriate for a man who was among America's wealthiest and one of Cin- cinnati's most prominent citizens. Described by another contemporary as "dry and caustic in his remarks" and "plain and careless in his dress, looking more like a beggar than a millionaire,"2 Nicholas Longworth, however eccentric and controversial, was a leading Cincinnati art patron as well as an outstanding collector and a generous supporter of the arts during the middle of the nineteenth century. Longworth's eccentricities of dress and behav- ior are well documented in photographs, portraits, and anec- dotes. While the Portrait of Nicholas Longworth by Robert Scott Duncanson (1 821-1872) portrays the subject as an important property owner and vintner, the work also docu- ments Longworth's eccentric habit of pinning notes to his suit cuffs to remind himself of important errands and appoint- ments. The portrait, painted in 18 5 8, is on permanent loan to the Cincinnati Art Museum from the Ohio College of Applied Science. An often repeated anecdote details young Abraham Lincoln's visit to Longworth's renowned gardens During the years he resided at Belmont (now where Lincoln mistook the master of the house for a gardener: the Taft Museum), 1830 until his death in 18 6 3, Longworth In the middle of the gravel path leading to a pillared portico, a amassed a personal art collection, assisted a number of artists small, queerly dressed old man, with no appearance whatever offinancially, offered advice and letters of introduction to having outgrown his old-fashioned raiment, was weeding.

Riding Obama’s Coattails: The Democrats Finally Take the Ohio 1st Randall E. Adkins and Gregory A. Petrow In 2006 the Democratic Party swept both houses of Congress. It was a tidal wave. For the first time since 1994, both branches of the legislature were under Democratic Party control. While many of his Republican col- leagues lost in 2006, Steve Chabot survived by narrowly defeating Cin- cinnati City Council member John Cranley by roughly 9,000 votes. The political environment favored the Democrats again in 2008, and this year the Democrats believed that Steve Driehaus, the Minority Whip in the Ohio state legislature, was the person to unseat Chabot. The First District The 1st congressional district of Ohio includes most of Hamilton County and the southwest corner of Butler County (Figure 1).
