As in a family, so it is with the Alumnae Associa- tion; the youngest members have a very special place. The Alumnae Association wishes to congratulate its youngest members on their graduation and to assure them that their welcome into the Alumnae family is a hearty one indeed. The Association hopes that it will be of service to this year's grad- uates in their new homes and jobs, and, no matter where they may be living, that it may always serve as a means of bringing alumnae together, and if keeping them always close to the College and its ideals.

They would be amazed if they could see today what they started a hundred years ago, for the hospital boasts of more than two million dollars worth of business in 1952. Its 238 beds handled 11,365 pa- tients last year, not counting the 2,177 new babies. The original staff or four has grown, too, in the hundred years of existence. There are now 203 profes- sional and 312 non-professional workers, 41 Sisters, 8 resident physicians, 11 in- terns, 243 staff doctors, 192 student nurses and 4 student medical technolo- gists. Since its founding in 1853, the hos- pital can boast of its historic "firsts" in the field of medicine.

Lindsey, Leonora Brooks Borden Trafford Administrative/Biographical History: Dora Keen was born June 24, 1871, in Philadelphia, a daughter of the surgeon William Williams Keen. She was educated at Bryn Mawr College, graduating in 1896. Her interest in mountaineering began during a trip to the Alps in 1909-1910. She traveled to Alaska in 1911 “merely to see the wonderful scenery of the southwest coast,”1 but shortly after arriving developed her plan to summit Mount Blackburn. Her first attempt failed; she returned and successfully reached the top on May 19, 1912. Keen’s 1911 expedition to Mt. Blackburn was the first expedition to use dogs on a mountain, the first to succeed without Swiss guides, the first to camp in snow caves, and the first to make a prolonged night ascent.2 1 Keen, Dora. “The first expedition to Mt.

  • People Powered Personal Rapid Transit
    UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA International Conference on PRT & Other Emerging Transportation Systems People-Powered PRT – Preliminary Concepts George Bliss George Haikalis November 18-20, 1996 Marriot Hotel, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Sponsored by In Cooperation with University of Minnesota University of Minnesota · Center for Transportation Studies · University College · Institute for Intelligent Transportation Sy stems · Office of Research and Technology Transfer Administration Advanced Transit Association Page 1 of 20 PEOPLE-POWERED PERSONAL RAPID TRANSIT Abstract Bicycles and other human-powered vehicles have been an important element in surface transportation for over 125 years. With the development of the bicycle, inventors began to devise human-powered vehicles for operation on railway tracks, monorails, and other guideways. More recently several human powered, guideway based systems have been proposed. Human power transportation – cycling and walking – has gained new attention, and increased funding, thanks to changes in Federal transport legislation. The shortcoming of existing auto and truck transportation, which dominate urban transport, are becoming increasingly apparent. In NYC an old concept is returning with renewed vigor. Pedicabs are once again appearing on NYC streets. Pedicabs, some with hybrid human and electric power, offer some interesting lessons for developing people powered PRT (PPPRT) systems. Pure PPPRT systems are possible, but a key factor is providing energy storage devices (probably flywheels) so that passengers can provide sufficient energy for their own trip, and for the PRT cars to be recycled for additional trips. One approach to PRT – Supracar – is, in concept, a system that could ultimately replace most auto and truck travel in dense urban areas. Some of the attributes of a human-powered version of such a PRT system are described.
