Mr. Reporter, show the hearing as coming to order. This is the hearing on the appropriations for 1985—the years go by—for the Smithsonian Institution, the fiscal year 1985. Appear- ing in support of that appropriation is a most formidable team: Mr. Ripley, the Secretary of the Institution; Mr. Hughes, the Under Secretary of the Institution; Mr. Challinor, the Assistant Secretary for Science; Mr. Jameson, Assistant Secretary for Administration and Acting Treasurer. You are searching for a Treasurer? Mr. Hughes. Yes, sir. Mr. Yates. Is there an Acting Treasurer? Mr. Hughes. Yes. Mr. Jameson. Mr. Yates. Have you got a Search Committee out? Mr. Hughes. Yes. Mr. Yates. Really? Mr. Reinhardt, Assistant Secretary for History and Art; Mr. Rinzler, for Public Service; Mr. Richards, Acting Assistant Secre- tary for Museum Programs; and Mr. Peyton, Director of Facilities Services. Hi, Mr. Peyton. How are your roofs these days? Mr. Ripley. I knew we would get to that. Mr. Yates. We will in time. Mr. Wemmer—why are you so far back? Mr. Wemmer. I thought the room was going to be filled. Mr. Yates. I thought you were hiding. Mr. Clarke, Acting Director for the Office of Programming and Budget. We are honored to have Mrs. Ripley with us today. I don't know why you are not on the witness list, Mrs. Ripley, but we are hon- ored, nevertheless, to have you here. All right. Also in attendance—my goodness, it is indeed a formi- dable list—Mr. Walter Boyne, Director of the National Air and Space Museum. Where are you, Mr. Boyne? Mr. Boyne. Here. Mr. Yates. Good. Gretchen Gayle Ellsworth. Isn't that wonderful. Where are you, Gretchen? Ms. Ellsworth. I am all the way back here, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Yates. You are hiding, too. Mr. Fiske. Hi, Mr. Fiske. How are all your gems? Mr. Fiske. Just fine. Mr. Yates. How good are your appraisals these days? Mr. Fiske. I am not in the appraisal business. Mr. Yates. I see. Mr. Klein, Director of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. You are from Panama? Mr. Klein. No. Mr. Yates. You are from Chesapeake. What happens to the Panama man? Mr. Robinson, hi. You are from Panama. Mr. Robinson. Right. Mr. Yates. Mr. Shapiro, Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysi- cal Observatory. Where are you down from? Mr. Shapiro. Down from Cambridge. Mr. Yates. Down from Cambridge. It is never up from Cam- bridge, is it? No. Cambridge is up there. That is all Science. Now we have History and Art. Mr. Eldredge— I hope we have some time left for your testimony, Dillon. Mr. Eldredge, Director of American Art. Where are you, Mr. Eldredge? There you are, way back there. Mr. Fern, Director of the National Portrait Gallery. Yes, Mr. Fern, glad to see you. Roger Kennedy, "Old Faithful." Where are you, Roger? There you are quietly raising your hand. Mr. Kinard, Anacostia. There you are. Hi, Mr. Kinard. Mr. Lawton, Hello, in Chinese. Mr. Lerner, Director of the Hirshhorn. Delighted to see you. Last appearance? Mr. Lerner. Yes. Mr. Yates. That is unfortunate. Mr. Murray, Archives of American Art. Hi, Mr. Murray. Lisa Taylor—hi, Lisa—Cooper-Hewitt. Sylvia Williams, National Museum of African Art. I am impressed with this list. You have got many more women on this list than I thought you had. I thought the Smithsonian was a men's club. Mary Grace Potter, Director of Visitor Information. Ms. Potter, where are you? Are you no longer here, Ms. Potter? Mr. Kennedy. She is greeting a visitor. Mr. Yates. She is that wrapped up in her job. She will be here tomorrow. I see. Peggy Loar—where are you, Peggy? Hi—Director of SITES. Mr. Maloy, Director of Smithsonian Institution Libraries. Where are you, Mr. Maloy? He must be the visitor. Mr. Postlethwaite, Acting Director, Conservation Analytical Lab- oratory. Hi, Mr. Postlethwaite. Then Judge Powers. Where are you, Judge? I know, I made your lunch a tragedy, didn't I? Didn't I? I will tell the rest of the crowd why in a few minutes. They will just have to hold themselves in check, temporarily. Robert Burke, Director of the Office of Protection Services. Glad to see you, Mr. Burke. Well, I am delighted. We have Ms. Ellsworth and we have Lisa Taylor, Sylvia Williams, and the absent Ms. Potter, and Peggy Loar. That is pretty good. Dillon, when are you going to graduate one of these women or some other woman to assistant secretaryship? Mr. Ripley. Very soon. Mr. Yates. Will it be in your tenure, or your successors? Mr. Ripley. It is hard to tell. Mr. Yates. Very hard to tell. Okay. You don't have them up there yet, have you? You haven't placed them up there yet, have you, Dillon? Mr. Ripley. No, I have not. Mr. Yates. Is this your swan song, too? Mr. Ripley. This is my last hearing before this committee. Mr. Yates. That is not a swan song, is it, or are you going to be like Anna Pavlova Mr. Ripley. Swans only sing when they are dying. Mr. Yates. At any rate, we are delighted to have you here today. Your statement may be made a part of the record, as soon as we dispose of the biographies of certain of the distinguished newcom- ers to the ranks of the Smithsonian. The biography of Mr. Rinzler may go into the record at this point, to be followed by the biography of Mr. Richards, to be fol- lowed by the biography of Mr. Clarke, to be followed by the biogra- phy of Mr. Robinson, to be followed by the biography of Mr. Murray, and that is it.

  • Cowlonialism Colonialism, Cattle and Landscapes in 16Th Century New Spain

    Cowlonialism Colonialism, Cattle and Landscapes in 16Th Century New Spain

    Franklin de Jesús Martínez Martínez Cowlonialism Colonialism, cattle and landscapes in 16th century New Spain Master’s thesis in Global Environmental History Abstract Martínez Martínez, F. d. J. 2020. Cowlonialism: Colonialism, cattle and landscapes in 16th century New Spain. Uppsala, Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. Cattle are not endemic to the American continent. Nevertheless, they are present and thrive in many landscapes, all the way from Canada to Argentina. The narratives about the process of colonisation of the American continent include human actors, but there is very little literature in comparison that deals on the influence of cattle in landscapes in the continent. In this thesis, I will contribute to the discussion about more-than-human processes of landscape modification, by analysing archival sources from the New Spain. This region included a big part of the West of the United States, Mexico and Central America. The period I analyse, between 1550 and 1602, represents the first decades of encounter between the Spanish settlers and indigenous communities, in the region of New Spain, where the Spanish established administrative institutions to manage their empire. The documents that I analysed showcase the transformations that cattle caused in the landscape, from how indigenous people lived, to what plants and crops could be cultivated. Inspired by Multi-species studies, ethography, and the concepts of “animal” and “landscape”, I use Actor-Network Theory to create a thoroughly described network of relations. In my analysis, I find that cattle influenced the activities that were performed in the landscape, as well as the ways that other actors interacted with each other.

    OPPM Monthly Project Reports October 27, 1976 The Arts and Industries Building receives an Historic Preservation Award from the Washington Metropolitan Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The ceremony was held in the National Gallery of Art Cafe. A plaque, which was affixed to the building exterior, and four certificates of achievement of excellence in historic preservation, are awarded. October 2013 Office of Facilities Engineering and Operations October 2013 Arts and Industries Building Revitalization Phase 1 - Shell Mission/Scope: On May 5, 2008, the Board of Regents decided not to pursue a public private partnership and to seek other resources in order to fund the revitalization of the Arts & Industries Building. The project will comprise three phases: the Shell, the Interior, and the Program. While the program is being developed, work on the Shell has moved forward –the replacement of the roof exceeding 10,000 M2 and more than 800 windows and structural improvements to address snow, wind, seismic and blast loads is under construction. The cost of the Shell improvements is approximately $50M. The 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funded $5.1M of additional masonry repairs and interior demolition and hazmat removal. The balance of the work is funded with Facilities Capital; earmarked federal Legacy funds; and Trust funds in support of the design, construction, and program.

A. 1929 To my dear sister Bertha, who shares most of these memories with me, they are affectionately dedicated. THE LITTLE GIRL I USED TO BE The little girl I used to be Has come to-day to visit me. She wears her Sunday dress again — Merino, trimmed with gay delaine; Bare neck and shoulders, bare arms, too, Short sleeves caught up with knots of blue; Cunning black shoes, and stockings white, And ruffled pantelettes in sight. Her hair, ‘round Mother's finger curled, Looks “natural” for all the world! The little girl I used to be! So wistfully she looks at me! O, poignant is my heart's regret That ever I have failed her! yet, Something of her has come with me Along the years that used to be! I pray that when ‘tis time to go Away from all the life we know To the new life, where, free from sin, As little children we begin, This little girl I used to be Will still be here to go with me! —C.
