City of Savannah, Georgia Records – Health Department 1803-1948 33
5600HE-GSM-gau (USMARC); GSG (OCLC/SOLINET) City of Savannah, Research Library & Municipal Archives, Savannah, Georgia Record Series #: 5600HE Name: City of Savannah, Georgia Records – Health Department Dates: 1803-1948 Extent/Size: 33 volumes (9.39 cubic feet) Organizational History: From 1790 until 1823, the Health Officer of Savannah was appointed by the Governor. Afterwards, he was selected by the City Council (Gamble, pp. 47, 146). The Health Officer’s duties included visiting vessels arriving in port, imposing quarantine, attending the sick on board, and investigating and preventing the spread of contagious diseases (Code of Savannah 1854, pp. 251-253). In 1877, the Health Officer became head of the newly organized Board of Sanitary Commissioners which was to supervise the administration of City health laws, to investigate and prevent the spread of disease, to examine and eliminate health nuisances, to supervise the sanitary regulations of municipal institutions, and to supervise matters relating to quarantine. The Health Officer, under direction of this board, became the general supervisor of the sanitary interests of the City, making inspections, inquiries, and reports (Code of Savannah 1888, pp. 185-87). By 1923, the Savannah Health Department consisted of the Board of Sanitary Commissioners, the Health Officer, the City Laboratory and Bacteriologist, the City Physician, the hospitals, the City Dispensary, the Inspector of Plumbing, and the City Food Inspector (Mayor's Annual Report 1923. pp. 393-459). The Savannah Health Center was formed in 1920, and by 1925 there was an agreement for the Savannah Health Center, the Health Department, and the County Commission to amalgamate their programs. -

In addition, data buoys are now employed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic and Pacific es aboards to relay air and water temperature, wind speed, air pressure and wave conditions that enable more accurate prediction and monitoring of storm systems. But before the people of the Caribbean had recourse to modern instrumentation and communication, surviving a regular hurricane season was founded on sensitivity to environment, accumulated knowledge passed from one generation to the next by word of mouth; and what amounted to a rehearsed, even ritualised, set of practices. As Jamaican Canadian poet Olive Senior writes in 'Hurricane Story, 1903': In those days storm warning came by telegraph to Postmistress. Living in the bush, Grandfather couldn't see her rush to broadcast the news by posting a black flag. -

The Musical Antiquary (1909-1913) Copyright © 2003 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire International De La Presse Musicale (
Introduction to: Richard Kitson, The Musical Antiquary (1909-1913) Copyright © 2003 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical Antiquary (1909-1913) The Musical Antiquary [MUA] was published in Oxford from October 1909 to July 1913 by Oxford University Press. The quarterly issues of each volume1-which contain between sixty and eighty pages in a single-column format-are paginated consecutively (each beginning with page one) and dated but not individually numbered. The price of each issue was two shillings and sixpence. Publication ceased without explanation. The Musical Antiquary was among the first British music journals to deal with musicological subjects, and contained articles of historical inquiry dealing mainly with "ancient music": the Elizabethan, the British Commonwealth and Restoration periods, and eighteenth-century musicians and musical life. In addition, several articles deal with early manifestations of Christian chant, the techniques of Renaissance polyphony and topics dealing with Anglican and Roman Catholic liturgical practices. The journal's founder and editor was Godfrey Edward Pellew Arkwright (1864-1944), a tireless scholar deeply involved with the study of music history. Educated at the University of Oxford, Arkwright prepared the catalogue of music in the Library of Christ Church, Oxford, and edited several important publications: English vocal music in twenty-five volumes of the Old English Edition, and Purcell's Birthday Odes for Queen Mary and his Odes to St. Cecilia, both published by the Purcell Society.2 The main contribiitors to The Musical Antiquary are well-known scholars in the field of British musicology, all born in about the middle of the nineteenth century and all active through the first quarter of the twentieth. -
Buffalo 1901 the Assassination of President William Mckinley Shortly
Buffalo 1901 The Assassination of President William McKinley Shortly after 4 PM on the afternoon of 6 September 1901, President William McKinley stood on the stage of the Temple of Music to greet the last group of well wishers who had waited in line to shake his hand at a public reception. McKinley reached out to a 28 year old man who was holding a handkerchief in his hand, not unusual since the day was rather hot and humid. But Leon Czolgosz had a 32 caliber revolver concealed under his handkerchief. Two shots rang out, the first nicked a button on the President’s vest and glanced off his chest, the second penetrated his stomach. Pandemonium ensued. One of the guards named O’Brien, and James Parker, a tall black man waiting in the line just behind Czolgosz, immediately grabbed the assassin and began punching him in the face. Czolgosz fell to the floor and other guards joined in. Czolgosz, in the words of an eye witness, was a “bloody mess”. Another guard grabbed the revolver out of Czolgosz’s right hand. The beating would have continued, had McKinley not said "Go easy on him boys" or "Don't let them hurt him". Whatever the exact words, they saved Czolgosz's life, at least temporarily. The guards stopped their assault and the President's health was given priority. The officials on the stage with McKinley eased him onto the floor. Word quickly spread of the shooting, and mob mentality took over, with crowds outside beating on the door and shouting death threats for the shooter. -
Consuming Culture
Ryan 1 Consuming Culture: How fairgoers gained cultural awareness and understanding through food at the Pan American Exhibition (1901) and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904) Jade Ryan April 30, 2012 Dr. Mary Ellen Curtin, History Department University Honors in History Spring 2012 Ryan 2 Abstract The world fairs in America at the beginning of the 20th century were some of the most elaborate exhibitions to have ever existed. With the precedent set at the Chicago Columbian Exchange Exposition in 1893, people came from around the world to see what these expos had to offer, from technological innovations never before imagined to architectural wonders. But underneath the flashy displays and government sanctioned buildings lay a network of people constantly participating in the consumption of cultures from around the world, most commonly through food. The Pan American Exposition (1901) and the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition (1904) fairgrounds provided a safe space where people of different ethnicity and class could experience other cultures in a non-threatening way, from eating something new to watching how other people interact with food. Through food experiences, people were able to internalize little pieces of other cultures, making them their own and increase their desire to experience to learn about other peoples of the world long after the fair was over. Evidence to support these claims includes personal accounts, magazine and newspaper articles, cookbooks, menus, photos, maps, and other souvenirs. Introduction The sun begins to rise on a cool morning in the middle of September in Buffalo, New York. Thousands of people have traveled from as little as a few miles to as many as a few thousand to take part in one of the greatest events to occur in the year 1901: The Pan-American Exhibition. -

JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Mark T. Tomecko August, 2012 JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 Mark T. Tomecko Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Tracey Jean Boisseau Dr. Chand Midha _______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martin Wainwright Dr. George Newkome ______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Most analysts of black voting patterns in the United States have assumed that the first substantive abandonment of the Republican party by black voters occurred in the 1930s, when the majority of black voters embraced Franklin Roosevelt‘s New Deal. A closer examination, however, of another Roosevelt presidency – that of Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) – demonstrates the degree to which black voters were already growing disenchanted with the Republicans in the face of what they viewed as uneven support and contradictory messages from the highest ranking Republican in the land. Though the perception of Theodore Roosevelt‘s relationship to black Americans has been dominated by his historic invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House in 1901, in fact even this event had assorted and complex meanings for Roosevelt‘s relationship to the black community. More importantly, his dismissal of black troops following a controversial shooting in southern Texas in 1906 – an event known as the Brownsville affair – set off a firestorm of bitter protest from the black press, black intellectuals, and black voters.
