He emigrated in 1884 to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company eventually marketed.

Built 1925-27; Emery Roth, architect, with Thomas Hastings. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1312, Lot 70. On July 16, 2002 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Ritz Tower, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.2).

At the time of designation, he took no position. Mark Levine, from the Jamestown Group, representing the owners of the commercial space, took no position on designation at the public hearing. Bill Higgins represented these owners at the time of designation and spoke in favor. Three witnesses testified in favor of designation, including representatives of State Senator Liz Kruger, the Landmarks Conservancy and the Historic Districts Council.

  • Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical
    Incoming Correspondence of Mary Baker Eddy (Formerly Chestnut Hill File) Collection Description Correspondence, c. 1880–1910 This collection consists mainly of letters received by Mary Baker Eddy and members of her household from c. 1880–1910. A small quantity of correspondence also predates and postdates this time span. Comments, notations, and responses by Eddy or her staff also appear on some documents. Correspondents include family, students, employees, Christian Scientists, the general public, and a few notable figures such as journalist Arthur Brisbane and suffragist Susan B. Anthony. There are approximately 6,700 correspondent files, many consisting of one letter (see finding aid for complete list). It is likely that her personal secretary, Calvin A. Frye, organized this file with assistance from other secretaries in later years. The name Chestnut Hill File derives from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home in Chestnut Hill, MA, where the file was located until it was moved to The First Church of Christ, Scientist sometime after 1915. Because of confusion about the scope and content of the file–it is not correspondence only from the time Eddy lived at Chestnut Hill, nor is it material about Chestnut Hill or the home located there–the file has been renamed to reflect what the file does contain, Eddy’s incoming correspondence. Size of collection: 38.3 linear feet Date opened: large portions on September 29, 2002 and December 23, 2002 Access: Some material is open. Remaining material will be processed upon request. See finding aid for a complete list of files and their status. 200 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA 02115 888-222-3711 www.marybakereddylibrary.org Provenance The Chestnut Hill File was transferred to the archives of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, sometime after the conveyance of Eddy’s personal property from the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy to the church.

  • Prodigal Genius BIOGRAPHY of NIKOLA TESLA 1994 Brotherhood of Life, Inc., 110 Dartmouth, SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA
    Prodigal Genius BIOGRAPHY OF NIKOLA TESLA 1994 Brotherhood of Life, Inc., 110 Dartmouth, SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA "SPECTACULAR" is a mild word for describing the strange experiment with life that comprises the story of Nikola Tesla, and "amazing" fails to do adequate justice to the results that burst from his experiences like an exploding rocket. It is the story of the dazzling scintillations of a superman who created a new world; it is a story that condemns woman as an anchor of the flesh which retards the development of man and limits his accomplishment--and, paradoxically, proves that even the most successful life, if it does not include a woman, is a dismal failure. Even the gods of old, in the wildest imaginings of their worshipers, never undertook such gigantic tasks of world- wide dimension as those which Tesla attempted and accomplished. On the basis of his hopes, his dreams, and his achievements he rated the status of the Olympian gods, and the Greeks would have so enshrined him. Little is the wonder that so-called practical men, with their noses stuck in profit-and-loss statements, did not understand him and thought him strange. The light of human progress is not a dim glow that gradually becomes more luminous with time. The panorama of human evolution is illumined by sudden bursts of dazzling brilliance in intellectual accomplishments that throw their beams far ahead to give us a glimpse of the distant future, that we may more correctly guide our wavering steps today. Tesla, by virtue of the amazing discoveries and inventions which he showered on the world, becomes one of the most resplendent flashes that has ever brightened the scroll of human advancement.

  • Phrenology, Physiognomy, and the Character of Big Business, 1895-1914 Coleman Sherry Undergraduate Senior Thesi
    Corporate Heads: Phrenology, Physiognomy, and the Character of Big Business, 1895-1914 Coleman Sherry Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University 29 March 2021 Seminar Advisor: Professor Samuel Roberts Second Reader: Professor Richard John Abstract In this thesis I argue that practical phrenology—a loose set of practices for reading character in heads, faces, and bodies—played an important and underappreciated role in the popular coverage of the large new corporations that emerged from the “Great Merger Movement” around the turn of the twentieth century. I suggest that the scope and pace of the transition from proprietor to corporate ownership created a crisis of economic representation, defined by a lack of stable, mature conventions for describing and illustrating the actual activities of the new consolidated firms. In this context, journalists and cartoonists borrowed from the wildly-popular practical phrenology and personalized the corporations, describing the firms as if they were the straightforward extensions of famous individual owners. Through a close, comparative reading of biographical profiles published in Fowler and Wells’ Phrenological Journal, McClure’s Magazine, and the muckraking cartoons of Puck, I document the trespass of phrenological methods, language, and assumptions into popular contexts and publications. This phrenological personalization allowed public commentators to publish powerful polemics focused on the character of the new firms, but obscured and distorted their true forms. Table

  • “You Furnish the Pictures, and I'll Furnish the War.” the True Story of William Randolph Hearst's 1897 Cable to Frederic
    “You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war.” The true story of William Randolph Hearst’s 1897 cable to Frederic Remington By Ken Lawrence [email protected] Spring Mills, Pennsylvania © October 2019. All rights reserved. “You go after the story and pictures,” they told [Richard Harding Davis]; “we’ll furnish the war.” If they didn’t absolutely bring on the Spanish-American War, they sure furnished it at that dinner. Somehow I’ve always believed that was the way it happened. Hedda Hopper, “Hedda Tells of San Simeon’s Wonders” (1952) Hearst later privately denied that his telegram [to Frederic Remington] was couched in the epigrammatic form quoted. John K. Winkler, William Randolph Hearst: A New Appraisal (1955) In his book On the Great Highway: The Wanderings and Adventures of a Special Correspondent, James Creelman wrote: Some time before the destruction of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana, the New York Journal sent Frederic Remington, the distinguished artist, to Cuba. He was instructed to remain there until the war began; for “yellow journalism” had an eye for the future. Presently Mr. Remington sent this telegram from Havana:— “W.R. Hearst, New York Journal, N.Y.: “Everything is quiet. There is no trouble here. There will be no war. I wish to return. “Remington.” This was the reply:— “REMINGTON, HAVANA: “Please remain. You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war. “W.R. HEARST.” The proprietor of the Journal was true to his word, and to-day the gilded arms of Spain, torn from the front of the palace in Santiago de Cuba, hang in his office in Printing House Square, a lump of melted silver, taken from the smoking deck of the shattered Spanish flagship, serves as his paper weight, and the bullet-pierced headquarters flag of the Eastern army of Cuba—gratefully presented to him in the field by General Garcia—adorns his wall.
