HOBBS BRADLEY DEWEY WALTER HUMPHREYS Humanics GODFREY L. CABOT PAYSON SMITH FRANCIS H. WILLIAMS I REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To THE MEMBERS OF THE CORPORATION: In accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation I have the honor to submit to you a report for the past year, covering changes in personnel, the more important points of progress in the work of the several departments, various problems of the future, together with reports of other administrative officers with reference to the work of their offices. In view of the general financial situation, projects looking toward an expansion of the activities of the Institute have gen- erally been left in abeyance, and the year has been devoted primarily to the internal affairs of the institution with especial attention to the effectiveness and economy of operation. The main accomplishments of this program are summarized in the following report supplemented in greater detail by the indi- vidual reports of the various administrative officers. CHANGES IN PERSONNEL A review of the changes in personnel during the year shows serious losses in both the Corporation and Faculty. On the eighteenth of October, a year ago yesterday, the sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Stratton deprived this Corporation of its Chairman. Coming to the Institute in January 1923, he served as President until July 1930, when he was elected Chairman, a position which he held for only one year. A few days later, on October 26, occurred the death of Howard A. Carson, a graduate of the Institute in the Class of 1869. He was elected to the Corporation in November 1878, and for seventeen years prior to his death was senior member of that body. On March 14, 1932, the Institute lost through the death of George Eastman its greatest benefactor, who served as a Life Member of this body from October 1920. Mr. John R. Freeman, distinguished engineer, died after a i MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY very short illness on October 6, 1932. He was a graduate of the Institute in the Class of 1876, and had been a Life Member of the Corporation since 1893. His generous and stimulating in- terest in the Institute continued up to the last, for within less than a week of his death he had written a letter of helpful sug- gestions to Dean Bush and had, with Mrs. Freeman, attended the President's reception to the Faculty. In recognition of the distinguished services of these men to the Institute and to record the affectionate esteem in which they are held by their colleagues, appropriate resolutions on the deaths of Dr. Stratton, Mr. Eastman and Mr. Carson have been spread upon the records of the Corporation, and accounts of their lives and services to the Institute have appeared in Institute publications. It will be appropriate at this meeting to appoint a committee to prepare similar resolutions on the death of Mr. Freeman for adoption by the Corporation at its next

  • The 1932 Presidential Election: the Tough-Minded Common- Man and the Virtuous Savior
    The 1932 Presidential Election: The Tough-Minded Common- Man and the Virtuous Savior Julia Devin In his First Inaugural Address on March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) famously proclaimed that it was his “firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”1 Using an inspirational tone he continued, as he had throughout his campaign, to emphasize that hope in dark economic times required “a leadership of frankness and vigor…met with that understanding and support of the people.”2 As the nation listened to his words, FDR solidified his carefully constructed self-image as a tough-minded common-man trumping Herbert Hoover’s seemingly antiquated virtuous savior image. FDR’s sweeping victory during the 1932 election showed quite clearly that the tough-minded common-man image made more sense than Hoover’s virtuous savior narrative. In the context of the Great Depression and Prohibition, weary Americans looked toward FDR’s proactive depiction of leadership revealing that Hoover’s principles and words were just not enough to confront the nation’s problems. FDR’s victory emphasized an alignment with “common difficulties” of the people and promised a mental 1 Franklin D.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
