  • The Political Process
    1980-81 Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1980-81 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '81, the third edition of this annual retrospective of the Institute of Politics. It serves the function of an annual report, but it is more than that. Part One, "Readings," is a sampling of written and spoken words drawn from the many formats of Institute activity: panel discussions and speeches in our Forum, dialogue among conference participants, an essay from a faculty study group, stu­ dent writing from the Harvard Political Review, personal evalutions from a summer intern and from our resident Fellows, and so forth. They contain impassioned rhetoric from controversial figures as well as opinion and analysis from less well- known individuals. This year we even have a poem and a little humor. Taken together, the "Readings," represent a good cross-section of what happens here. Part Two, 'Programs," is a record of all the events sponsored by the Institute dur­ ing the 1980-81 academic year. This section delineates the participation of hundreds of individuals who together make the Institute the lively, interactive place that it is. Although they are not all captured on tape or on paper, their contributions make this place come alive, and this listing is a recognition of that. Thus, the annual editions of Proceedings provide an ongoing portrait of the In­ stitute of Politics. I hope you find it both informative and enjoyable.

    a thousand one nights soirées musicales sunday, march 15, 2015 Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra 2014-15 Season Randal Swiggum, Artistic Director 2008 2000, 2007 2005 2001 CONDUCTOR YOUTH ORCHESTRA PROGRAMMING ELGIN IMAGE OF THE YEAR OF THE YEAR OF THE YEAR AWARD EYELGIN YOUTH SYMPHONYSO ORCHESTRA Dear Friends, On behalf of the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors, I welcome you back to the 39th season of EYSO and our celebration of “A Thousand & One Nights!” We are thrilled you are with us to continue another season of excellent music and artistic exploration. EYSO is a vibrant, growing organization thanks to our dedicated volunteers and staff, and the talented young musicians who choose to be part of our community. This year we have 350 students from more than 50 communities. Enrollment has tripled in the last 15 years as more students, parents and instructors are drawn to EYSO’s high musical standards and lively, collaborative learning environment. We are confident you will come away from today’s concert impressed with the quality of the performances and the talent of our young musicians. But EYSO is far more than great concerts. The greatest learning and discovery happens at Sunday rehearsals, where students develop their artistry and skill; learn how to work as a team; and study the history, cultural context, and meaning of the musical masterworks being performed. EYSO students carry the benefits of these experiences forever! I want to acknowledge Executive Director Kathy Matthews and Artistic Director Randal Swiggum for their vision, leadership and diligent work over the years to advance the mission of the organization.
