  • Writing Home from Around the World, 1926–1927
    Writing Home from Around the World, 1926–1927 A keen and amused observer, Tom Johnson is an articulate and conscien- tious letter writer. The reader has the feeling he was writing for himself as much as his family as he makes sentences and paragraphs of his impressions of the world at the height of colonialism. By THOMAS H. JOHNSON Edited with an introduction by LAURA JOHNSON WATERMAN y father, Thomas H. Johnson, the writer of these letters, was born in 1902 on the Connecticut River Valley farm known as Stone Cliff, located one mile north of the vil- Mlage of Bradford. In 1926, upon his graduation from Williams College, Tom Johnson embarked on a world cruise that was to last the length of a school year—September to May. He had been invited to teach Eliza- bethan Drama and American Literature (subjects he soon found to be not particularly relevant) on the fi rst ever student travel experiment. This was launched on a large scale with over fi fty faculty and four hun- dred and fi fty students, one hundred and twenty of them women. A. J. McIntosh, president of the University Travel Association, saw this as an opportunity to combine formal education with travel, and orga- nized the adventure by reaching out to colleges across the country. The project became known as the Floating University and was considered . LAURA JOHNSON WATERMAN is the author of Losing the Garden (2005), a memoir of thirty years of homesteading in East Corinth, Vermont. She co-authored with her late husband, Guy Waterman, fi ve books on the history of climbing the moun- tains of the Northeast and related environmental issues, among them, Forest and Crag (1989), Backwoods Ethics (1993), and Wilderness Ethics (1993).

  • The Skyscraper of the 1920S
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y IN OMMENTARY HE WENTIES T T C * THE SKYSCRAPER In the American self-image of the 1920s, the icon of modern was the modern city, the icon of the modern city was New York City, and the icon of New York City was the skyscraper. Love it or hate it, the skyscraper symbolized the go-go and up-up drive that “America” meant to itself and much of the world. A sampling of twenties illustration and commentary on the architectural phenomenon that still captures the American imagination is presented here. Berenice Abbott, Cliff and Ferry Street, Manhattan, photograph, 1935 Louis Lozowick, 57th St. [New York City], lithograph, 1929 Museum of the City of New York Renwick Gallery/Smithsonian Institution * ® National Humanities Center, AMERICA IN CLASS , 2012: americainclass.org/. Punctuation and spelling modernized for clarity. Complete image credits at americainclass.org/sources/becomingmodern/imagecredits.htm. R. L. Duffus Robert L. Duffus was a novelist, literary critic, and essayist with New York newspapers. “The Vertical City” The New Republic One of the intangible satisfactions which a New Yorker receives as a reward July 3, 1929 for living in a most uncomfortable city arises from the monumental character of his artificial scenery. Skyscrapers are undoubtedly popular with the man of the street. He watches them with tender, if somewhat fearsome, interest from the moment the hole is dug until the last Gothic waterspout is put in place. Perhaps the nearest a New Yorker ever comes to civic pride is when he contemplates the skyline and realizes that there is and has been nothing to match it in the world.

    NJDARM: Collection Guide - NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES COLLECTION GUIDE Record Group: Department of Institutions and Agencies Series: Monthly Reports, 1926-1971 Accession #: 1977.012, 1978.030 Series #: SIN00001 Guide Date: 9/1995 (JK) Volume: 16 c.f. [91 vols.] Contents Content Note This series consists of a near-complete set of monthly reports of the Department of Institutions and Agencies for the period 1926-1971, providing coverage for most of the department's existence (1918-1976). The reports for the first year (January 1926 - February 1927) were actually done on a weekly basis; they record the commissioner's and division directors' day-to-day activities, and also provide reports from the superintendent of each institution or agency. Beginning in March 1927, the reports were done monthly and no longer included separate sections for each institution. The commissioner reported on his own activities, usually including highlights of meetings and conferences, accounts of projects or initiatives at specific institutions, and updates on budget and legislative matters. This was followed by summaries of each division's activities throughout the various institutions (as opposed to sections for each facility). While the number, names and functions of the department's divisions changed over the years, the subjects they reported on generally included: finances, personnel policies, farm yields, grounds and buildings improvements, social services, parole, classification, education, and mental and physical health care. The early reports are predominantly narrative, but do provide some tables of financial data as well as patient/inmate demographics. By the 1940s, the amount of statistical information included in the reports increased and tended to dominate the reports by the 1970s.
