PBHA Annual Report FY18 ANNUAL REPORT FY18 phillips brooks house association Dear PBHA Supporters, PBHA’s work during FY18 has been grounded in our fundamental commitment to access and inclusivity at every level of our organization. Looking back at the year past, we are reminded of a quote from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on the universal power of service: “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve…You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve...You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” In many ways, the theme of the year past is integrally tied to our efforts to increase diversity and inclusivity of all types within PBHA. We are so grateful for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s 15-year commitment to strengthen PBHA’s ability to support our students with high financial need who are engaged in year-round service and increase diversity among our public service leaders. The Priscilla Chan Stride Service Program (formerly known as Stride-Rite) will furnish scholarships for 40 low-income students a year so that they may participate in service leadership at the same level as their peers. Last summer, our Summer Urban Program (SUP) provided 830 campers with the tools to bridge diversity and work collaboratively. Our Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment Program (BRYE) and Refugee Youth Summer Enrichment Program (RYSE) camps continued to welcome recent immigrant communities, offering quality, low-cost summer care and support to youth learning English as a second language. A SUP-wide emphasis on restorative justice helped resolve conflicts in a collective way, ensuring that all parties left discussions with a shared vision of how to move forward. Collabo- rations, like the one between camps in Chinatown, Franklin Hill, Franklin Field, and recent immigrant communities enabled our campers to celebrate each other’s unique backgrounds and experiences. This commitment to inclusivity was also reflected in events and initiatives throughout the year. At our 11th Annual Robert Coles “Call of Service” Lecture and Award, we were excited to honor Nihad Awad, Executive Director and National Founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), for his work advocating for Muslim rights, peace, and social change. His message of unity and support struck an especially strong chord in a turbulent national political climate. Centrally, PBHA has codified its commitment to fostering collaboration and openness through a new set of strategic priorities, one of which focuses exclusively on diversity and inclusion. We are so thankful to you for your support of PBHA’s mission, and we are excited to continue working with our thousands of constituents to build a more equitable, inclusive, and just world.

We must have more life in our universities, and more education in our life.” 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Mary Parker Follett, The New State: Group Organization and the Solution of Popular Government (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1918 [1998]), 369. ! 1 Catalogue Description Explores efforts to realize the civic purpose of American universities, particularly in terms of attempts to engage local communities through educational outreach programs. Examines major periods of experimentation and innovation in the 20th and 21st centuries, from the settlement house movement of the early 1900s to recent efforts to revive the public mission of universities through service-learning and other forms of civic education. This course is an activity-based learning course, limited to students who are concurrently participating in one of PBHA’s education-related service programs. Class discussions and assignments will make active links with students’ service work. Enrollment capped at 12. Course Overview This course explores a variety of attempts of students and faculty to engage their communities in educational programs from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. Today, the widely accepted model for university outreach programs is based on the concept of reciprocity: the notion that members of the university and the neighboring community both benefit from their joint endeavors. But this has not always been the case.

  • Organized Animal Protection and the Language of Rights in America, 1865-1900
    *DO NOT CITE OR DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PERMISSION* “The Inalienable Rights of the Beasts”1: Organized Animal Protection and the Language of Rights in America, 1865-1900 Susan J. Pearson Assistant Professor, Department of History Northwestern University Telephone: 847-471-3744 1881 Sheridan Road Email: [email protected] Evanston, IL 60208 ABSTRACT Contemporary animal rights activists and legal scholars routinely charge that state animal protection statutes were enacted, not to serve the interests of animals, but rather to serve the interests of human beings in preventing immoral behavior. In this telling, laws preventing cruelty to animals are neither based on, nor do they establish, anything like rights for animals. Their raison d’etre, rather, is social control of human actions, and their function is to efficiently regulate the use of property in animals. The (critical) contemporary interpretation of the intent and function of animal cruelty laws is based on the accretion of actions – on court cases and current enforcement norms. This approach confuses the application and function of anticruelty laws with their intent and obscures the connections between the historical animal welfare movement and contemporary animal rights activism. By returning to the context in which most state anticruelty statutes were enacted – in the nineteenth century – and by considering the discourse of those activists who promoted the original legislation, my research reveals a more complicated story. Far from being concerned only with controlling the behavior of deviants, the nineteenth-century animal welfare activists who agitated for such laws situated them within a “lay discourse” of rights, borrowed from the successful abolitionist movement, that connected animal sentience, proved through portrayals of their suffering, to animal rights.

    BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF THEODORE LTMAN. 1833-1897. BY H. P. BOWDITCH. READ BEFORE THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIKNCES, APKIL 23, 1903. (15) 141 (s/L&~>nhfv-e- J^^ BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF THEODORE LYMAN. THEODORE LYMAN was born in Waltham, Mass., on the 23d of August, 1833, and died at Nahant, Mass., on the 9th of Septem- ber, 1897. He was of the seventh generation in descent from Richard Lyman, the ancestor of the family, who came to this country in 1631 in the same ship with John Eliot, and the third successive bearer of the name Theodore Lyman. The first Theodore Lyman, the grandfather of our late associ- ate, came from old York, Maine, to Boston, and, as a successful merchant in Boston, laid the foundation of the family fortunes. His son, the second Theodore Lyman, studied in Europe in his early life, and, returning, served in the State Legislature from 1820 to 1825. He was mayor of Boston in 1834-'35, and while in this office defended William Lloyd Garrison from personal violence at the hands of a mob of respectable rioters to whom the fearless course of the abolitionist leader had given grave offense. Mayor Lyman secured the foundation of the Massachusetts State Reform School at Westboro, now appropriately known as the Lyman School, in grateful recognition of his endowment of the institution with a fund amounting to $72,500. He was a gener- ous friend to the Massachusetts Historical Society, and to the Boston Farm School, an institution over which his son presided for several years. He was the author of works upon " The Po- litical State of Italy" and " The Diplomacy of the United States,'' of small volumes entitled " Rambles in Italy " and "A few Weeks in Paris during the Residence of the Allied Sovereigns in that City," and of a Fourth of July oration delivered in 1820.

Walsh: I. INTRODUCTION The idea that government regulation can serve a moral purpose has fallen into disrepute. Professor Henry G. Manne, an influential legal scholar,' has been particularly outspoken in this regard. "Morals," he wrote, "are a private luxury. Carried into the arena of serious debate on public policy, moral arguments are frequently either sham or a refuge for the intellectually bankrupt."2 Indeed, he suggests, to make a personal statement about the immorality of a particular type of securities transaction is to confuse oneself with God.? It was not always so.
