During the period of con- struction, temporary quarters were secured at 414 Harvard Street. The new building stands upon the site of the old building which the Club had occupied since the year 1833. In order to celebrate in an appropriate manner the comple- tion of the work and the Centennial Anniversary of the Founding of the Porcellian Club, a committee, consisting of the Building Committee and the officers of the Club, was chosen. February 21, 1891, was selected as the date, and it was decided to have the Annual Meeting and certain Literary Exercises commemorative of the occasion precede the Dinner. The Committee has prepared this volume con- taining the Literary Exercises, a brief account of the Din- ner, and a catalogue of the members of the Club to date. A full account of the Annual Meeting and the Dinner may be found in the Club records. The thanks of the Committee and of the Club are due to Brothers Honorary Sargent, Isham, and Chapman for their contribution towards the success of the Exercises Literary ; also to Brother Honorary Hazeltine for his interest in pre- PREFATORY paring the plates for the memorial programme; also to Brother Honorary Painter for revising the Club Catalogue.

It is never a situation where a select sees one vision and another sees anything else even in the slightest detail. That would be a deliberate deception, and The Most High will not tolerate anything false that is not identified as such in His Presence. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Encamped and Headquartered in full array at Philun, 216th Realm, 4,881st Abstract, we received Call to present ourselves before The Most High, ALIHA ASUR HIGH, in accordance with standing alert. In presence with fellow Horsemen Immanuel, Horus and Hammerlin and our respective Seconds, I requested all available Seniors or their respective Seconds to attend in escort. We presented ourselves in proper station and I announced our Company to The Most High in Grand Salute as is the procedure. NOTE: Bold-italics indicate emphasis: In the Script of The Most High, by His direction; in any other, emphasis is mine. The Most High spoke: ""Lord King of Israel El Aku ALIHA ASUR HIGH, Son of David, Son of Fire, you that is Named of My Own Name, know that I am pleased with your Company even unto the farthest of them on station in the Great Distances.

  • General Robert E. Lee (1807-70) and Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, July 23-Aug
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 444 917 SO 031 912 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty J. TITLE General Robert E. Lee (1807-70) and Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, July 23-Aug. 30, 1869. PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 33p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Civil War (United States); *Donors; *Meetings; *Private Financial Support; *Public History; Recognition (Achievement); *Reconstruction Era IDENTIFIERS Biodata; Lee (Robert E); *Peabody (George) ABSTRACT This paper discusses the chance meeting at White Sulphur Springs (West Virginia) of two important public figures, Robert E. Lee and George Peabody, whose rare encounter marked a symbolic turn from Civil War bitterness toward reconciliation and the lifting power of education. The paper presents an overview of Lee's life and professional and military career followed by an overview of Peabody's life and career as a banker, an educational philanthropist, and one who endowed seven Peabody Institute libraries. Both men were in ill health when they visited the Greenbrier Hotel in the summer of 1869, but Peabody had not long to live and spent his time confined to a cottage where he received many visitors. Peabody received a resolution of praise from southern dignitaries which read, in part: "On behalf of the southern people we tender thanks to Mr. Peabody for his aid to the cause of education...and hail him benefactor." A photograph survives that shows Lee, Peabody, and William Wilson Corcoran sitting together at the Greenbrier. Reporting that Lee's own illness kept him from attending Peabody's funeral, the paper describes the impressive and prolonged international services in 1870.

Editor, Historical Journal of Massachusetts c/o Westfield State University 577 Western Ave. Westfield MA 01086 How ‘poor country boys’ became Boston Brahmins: The Rise of the Appletons and the Lawrences in Ante-bellum Massachusetts1 By Anthony Mann The promise of social mobility was a central cultural tenet of the northern American states during the nineteenth century. The stories of those who raised themselves from obscure and humble origins to positions of wealth and status, whilst retaining a sufficiency of Protestant social responsibility, were widely distributed and well received amongst a people daily experiencing the personal instabilities of the market revolution.2 Two families which represented the ideal of social mobility 1 A version of this essay was first read at the conference of the British Association for American Studies, Birmingham, and April 1997.

  • Views, and Even Less Did He Attempt Novelty in the Method of Treatment
    12 American Antiquarian Society. [April, REPOET OF THE COUNCIL. THERE is little for the Council to mention in the history of the Society during the last six months that is not containe^l in the reports of the Treasurer and the Librarian, which form a part of its report, excepting to present notices of deceased members, and offer the usual historical study. It may be well, however, to call attention to the fact that a new iron stack has been placed in the lower hall of the building of the Society, and to state that that is the rooni which the late Mr. Salisbury thought might sometime be occupied by a public library for the city of Worcester. It is an interesting commentary on the growth of that city, and on the increased importance of this institution, that the libraries of the two corporations have each of them 100,000 volumes, and that while the American Antiquarian Society will soon be pressed for. room in which to store its books and manuscripts, the Free Public Library has none too much room for carrying on its work in the extensivo and commodious pile of buildings put up for its acconnmoda- tion by the municipality which it serves. It is said that death loves a shining mark. Tbe first of our number to die after the last meeting was Hon. Eobert C. Winthrop. In the order of election he was our old- est member and had always been a warm friend of the Society. Most of the gentlemen present to-day recall the touching scene four years ago when Mr.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html.

SECOND EDITION. 5 PREFATORY NOTE This volume, the third of the series of the SEWALL PAPERS, completes the publication from the manuscript diary of Judge Sewall, in the Cabinet of the Society. The most important of his other papers in our possession is a very large volume, much of it closely written, contain- ing his correspondence, with miscellaneous matter. It is intended that the contents of this volume, also, shall be transcribed; but it has not as yet been decided whether the whole of its contents, which would fill at least two volumes of our series, shall be published, or only such a selection of its more important papers as might be gathered into one volume. 6 DIARY OF SAMUEL SEWALL. [Judge Sewall having gone from home to hold court, the following ex- tracts, enclosed between asterisks, are from entries in the small volume which he carried with him, labelled "Magunkaquog," See Vol. II., p. 425.] * May 10. 1714.

Peter L Walsh Chairman Bonita A. Flood Arlene E. Friedberg ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ART COMMISSION Paula M. Korol YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1999 Katherine B. Winter The members of the Massachusetts Art Commission respectfully submit the Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 1999. The Commission is charged under General Laws chapter 6, sections 19 and 20 with the "care and custody of the State House art collection" and thus serves as the curator of the Commonwealth's 200 year-old collection of paintings, sculptures, wall murals and artifacts by some of America's most important artists. The Commission conducts its programs of conservation and preservation of the art collection under an annual appropriation, which it receives through the Bureau of State Office Buildings, as well as its program of public infonnation and assistance CONSERVATION Since its program began in 1985 the Art Commission has required that all conservators working with objects in the State House Art Collection adhere to the Cafe of Ethics and Standanis for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation. This 0xIe ofEthics requires, in part, that all conservation procedures be reversible, and fully documented by both photograph and written report. These practices help insure that future curators and conservators will know what the conditions were, why the objects were treated, and what measures (materials and procedures) were taken to correct these conditions. During FY'99 the Art Commission continued its program of conservation and preservation of the State House Art Collection with the following projects.
