The Calvin Coolidge Inauguration Revisited: An Eyewitness Account by Congressman Porter H.

Johnson presidency is unique in its collection of recordings of the chief executive’s activities. In the 1960s, the White House Naval Photographic Unit (NPC) began producing films that highlighted special presidential trips, visits, and events. Commander Thomas Atkins produced these films for the NPC, starting in 1963 in the John F. Kennedy administration and continuing through the Johnson years. About 43 of the 70+ films are available for viewing on the Lyndon B. Johnson Library’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL853F6EAB74B64D1D . Hofstra University’s Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency has a full digitized set of the Atkins films, which are available for research in the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library’s Special Collections room. In the summer of 2013, Ms. Nancy Lindemeyer (who, along with her husband, Robert Lindemeyer, served with Commander Atkins in the Navy) contacted Hofstra on behalf of the Atkins family to see if the Kalikow Center might be a suitable repository for the collection. Thanks to the generosity of the Atkins family and the cheerful, unstinting efforts of the Lindemeyers, the original 16 mm films were transferred to DVDs and became part of Hofstra’s holdings in 2015.

  • 2019 Chairman's Report to Members
    Chairman’s Report Annual Meeting July 3, 2019 Report of the Chairman to the Members, Annual Meeting 2019 “A new importance is attaching to the cause of education. A new realization of its urgent necessity is taking hold of the Nation…The economic and moral waste of ignorance will little longer be tolerated.” – President Calvin Coolidge’s Speech to the National Education Association, July 4, 1924. “At his core, Silent Cal was a moral person who sought faithfully to do his duty to America using as few resources as possible.” – Application essay by a candidate for the Coolidge Scholarship. Coolidge prized education, whether it took place at home, at a grammar school, at high school, at a college, at a library, or in an office. Here in Plymouth Notch, Coolidge got his educational start in a small one-room school house. Both Coolidge’s grandmother and stepmother taught here in the village, and his sister Abbie qualified as a school teacher. In the town of Plymouth, Coolidge’s father, John Coolidge, collected tax for schools and helped arrange places to stay for teachers. The future president attended two Vermont boarding schools, Black River Academy in Ludlow (tuition, $7 a term) and St. Johnsbury Academy in St. Johnsbury. Coolidge was graduated from Amherst College in Massachusetts. At Amherst’s commencement, the future president’s institutional education ended. But it is important to note that Coolidge continued to educate himself. Coolidge debated both at college and at town meetings in Plymouth (one of the topics was bimetallism, a hot theme in the era of Grover Cleveland).
