The great virtue of the Act of 1924 was that it gave assurance to Service members that during good behavior they were in no danger of arbitrary dis¬ missal until they reached the age of sixty-five years. It was believed and so stated at the time that such an age limit was HILIPPIIIEMIIIES essential to the acquisition of the experience regarded, then, as HONOLULU • SAN FRANCISCO • LOS ANGELES • SEATTLE CHICAGO • NEW YORK • WASHINGTON, D.

This is the aspiration of the pragmatic Foreign Policy of The Bahamas, and the lessons from the opportunities of interaction in the global arena despite its many challenges. These challenges include, not least, the economic and financial crises with which a majority of States continues to grapple, including The Bahamas, and, the “hot spots” and “hot issues” from which no State is ultimately immune in an interdependent world. This is, therefore, the backdrop of this year for my reflections with you, on the focus, conduct and promulgation of the Foreign Policy of The Bahamas for 2011. I shall also this time attempt to be a bit ambitious and reveal some hopes for the future. Excellencies, Honorary Consuls, Ladies and Gentlemen, Diplomatic and Consular Representation 2 I shall begin, however, with an update on an overview of The Bahamas Diplomatic and Consular Representation. We bid farewell to various members of the resident Diplomatic Corps, namely Ambassadors Guggenheim of Brazil, HU of China, Ponce of Cuba, and, Avant of the United States. We have had the pleasure of welcoming to the Diplomatic Community, Resident Ambassadors Veras, HU and Guzman of Brazil, China and Cuba, respectively. We look forward to the continuation of our productive relationship and the advancement of our mutual interests with these most recent, and with you all.

  • University Archives Inventory
    University Archives Inventory Record Group Number: UR001.03 Title: Burney Lynch Parkinson Presidential Records Date: 1926-1969 Bulk Date: 1932-1952 Extent: 42 boxes Creator: Burney Lynch Parkinson Administrative/Biographical Notes: Burney Lynch Parkinson (1887-1972) was an educator from Lincoln, Tennessee. He received his B.S. from Erskine College in 1909, and rose up the administrative ranks from English teacher in Laurens, South Carolina public schools. He received his M.A. from Peabody College in 1920, and Ph.D. from Peabody in 1926, after which he became president of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC in 1927. He was employed as Director of Teacher Training, Certification, and Elementary Education at the Alabama Dept. of Education just before coming to MSCW to become president in 1932. In December 1932, the university was re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ending the crisis brought on the purge of faculty under Governor Theodore Bilbo, but appropriations to the university were cut by 54 percent, and faculty and staff were reduced by 33 percent, as enrollment had declined from 1410 in 1929 to 804 in 1932. Parkinson authorized a study of MSCW by Peabody college, ultimately pursuing its recommendations to focus on liberal arts at the cost of its traditional role in industrial, vocational, and technical education. Building projects were kept to a minimum during the Parkinson years. Old Main was restored and named for Mary Calloway in 1938. Franklin Hall was converted to a dorm, and the Whitfield Gymnasium into a student center with the Golden Goose Tearoom inside. Parkinson Hall was constructed in 1951 and named for Dr.
