  • Women Architects
    E-Newsletter | May 2012 Women Architects What do the Hearst Castle in California and many of the buildings in Grand Canyon National Park have in common? They were designed by women architects! In this month's newsletter, we feature two early women architects - Julia Morgan and Mary Colter. California's first licensed woman architect, Julia Morgan, studied architecture in Paris. After failing the entrance examination to the École des Beaux-Arts twice, she learned that the faculty had failed her deliberately to discourage her admission. Undeterred, she gained admission and received her certificate in architecture in 1902. By 1904, she had opened her own architecture practice in San Francisco. After receiving acclaim when one of her buildings on the Mills College campus withstood the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, she was commissioned to rebuild the damaged Fairmont Hotel. With this project Morgan's reputation as well as her architecture practice was assured. Julia Morgan Morgan designed her first building for the YWCA in Oakland in 1912. She then began work on the YWCA's seaside retreat Asilomar, near Monterey, which has hosted thousands of visitors since its founding in 1913. Today Asilomar is a state historical park. Morgan's work on the Hearst Castle, which is also now a state historical monument, cemented her reputation. The Castle, located at San Simeon, has attracted more than 35 million visitors since it opened to the public in 1958. Architect Mary Colter was asked by railroad magnate Fred Harvey to design hotels and restaurants along the Santa Fe Railway route, with the objective of bringing tourists to the southwestern United States.

  • Reflexive Regionalism and the Santa Fe Style
    Reflexive Regionalism and the Santa Fe Style Ron Foresta Department of Geography University of Tennessee, Knoxville Abstract:The Santa Fe Style is an assembly of cultural features associated with the city of Santa Fe and its surrounding Upper Rio Grande Valley. The style, often dismissed as a confection for tourists because of its gloss and worldliness, is in fact a manifestation of reflexive regionalism. This overlooked cultural process occurs when worldly outsiders fashion regional traits into responses to the life challenges that they and their extra- regional reference groups face. In this case, outsiders fashioned what they found in early-twentieth-century Santa Fe into responses to challenges that accompanied the rise of American industrial capitalism. Threats to elite hegemony, the destruction of established lifeways, and the need for new perspectives on American society were prominent among the challenges to which the Santa Fe Style responded. Reflexive regionalism is thus the kind of cultural process that Regulation Theory posits but has found difficult to convincingly identify in the real world, i.e., one that adapts individuals and societies to periodic shifts in the logic and practices of capitalism. I examine seven individuals who made signal contributions to the Santa Fe Style. Each reveals a key facet of Santa Fe’s reflexive regionalism. Together they show how this process created the Santa Fe Style and, more generally, how it works as an engine of cultural invention. The key concepts here are reflexive regionalism, the Santa Fe Style, cosmopolitanism, Regulation Theory, the work of the age, and the project of the self.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

The book follows the progress of a cohort of 7-year-old children through their schools over a two-year period. It covers schools in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, and Ireland and:*draw together what it is that the most and least effective schools do in each country*pinpoints what makes 'effective teaching' across the globe*analyses which effectiveness-producing school and teaching factors appear to be the same and which are context specific*discusses how educational policies can be used to generate World Class Schools and which new blends of practice can, or should be usedThe existing literature based upon the comparison of the educational achievements of different countries is inadequate. This unique study provides a rich picture of the processes of the education systems of different countries which will appeal to practitioners and policy makers.

  • The Voices Behind Change: Women's Liberation During the 1970S at The
    The Voices Behind Change: Women’s Liberation During the 1970s at the University of Guelph by Amy L. McBride A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada @ Amy L. McBride, September, 2018 ABSTRACT THE VOICES BEHIND CHANGE: WOMEN’S LIBERATION DURING THE 1970s AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Amy L. McBride Advisor: University of Guelph Dr. Linda Mahood The purpose of this thesis is to highlight a student narrative from the perspective of female undergraduates at the University of Guelph from the 1970s, but also to add to the canon of Canadian women’s history. This thesis will argue that female undergraduates at the University of Guelph took part in the Women’s Liberation movement of the 1970s and helped to make Guelph a more liberated and equal opportunity institution. This will be indicated by various examples of the collective action and activism of female undergraduates as they fought to make changes on campus. Using the campus student newspaper, The Ontarion, as the primary source was vital because the newspaper is where the voice of the women students could be heard. The Ontarion is an untapped primary resource providing a wealth of information for assessing and analyzing the emergence of feminism at Guelph. The Ontarion has helped to put a spotlight on feminism and the role of female undergraduates as they organized to make changes at Guelph. Taking on this role included using opinions of feminist role models, notably ideas pertaining to personal and political issues.

  • Kappa's Centennial Year 1870-1970
    OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA KAPPA'S CENTENNIAL YEAR 1870-1970 SPRING 1970 An invitation froiD the President Come and celebrate the 100th birthday of Kappa Kappa Gamma! Your officers, con­ vention and centennial committees are anxious to welcome you to this auspicious occa­ sion. Our convention will be held at French Lick, Indiana, from June 24 to July 1. Hotel facilities will accommodate, with ease, the large attendance we hope will gather to elect officers, consider reports and transact such business as may be brought before the con­ vention. In addition, special plans for fun and festivity are in the making. Your loyalty will be rewarded by renewing old friendships and making new ones. Your generosity will shine brightly as the names of the 94 Centennial Scholarship re­ cipients are revealed. These young women, Kappas and non-Kappas, graduates and undergraduates, will be assisted in furthering their education by your gifts. We are all grateful to be a part of the realization of this dream. Kappa Kappa Gamma is proud to recognize an exceptional membership that has exhibited the finest qualities of womanhood from 1870 to 1970. As our thoughts turn to the beginning of a second century, we greet this milestone with humility and thanks­ giving. · Our former president, Mary Turner Whitney, expressed in 1964 these thoughts which apply today when she said, "Together we shall gain a deeper understanding of Kappa Kappa Gamma; of its responsibilities and relation to the Founders and their purposes, and to the society in which it has developed; and of the reciprocal relationship be­ tween the Fraternity itself and its members." Let's recount past accomplishments with pride and the knowledge that we have done our best.

  • Mary Elizabeth Colter Architect, Engineer 1869-1958
    Missouri Valley Special Collections: Biography Mary Elizabeth Colter Architect, Engineer 1869-1958 by Susan Jezak Ford Travelers in the early twentieth century were swept away by the romance of train travel to Arizona and New Mexico. Railroads encouraged the trend by building train depots, gift shops, and other tourist attractions in the style of Native American and California mission architecture. Mary Colter worked as one of the most prolific designers and architects of this era out of an office in Union Station. Mary Colter was born in 1869 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her family moved frequently, but settled in St. Paul, Minnesota, when she was 11. Colter flourished in school art classes. After her father’s death, she persuaded her family to send her to the California School of Design. Upon graduation in 1892, she returned to St. Paul to support her mother and sister by teaching drawing classes at the Mechanic Arts High School there. The Fred Harvey Company had operated restaurants, hotels, and gift shops for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway since 1876, providing clean, inexpensive spots for travelers to stop and eat or rest. The company hired Colter to decorate the Indian Building in Albuquerque in1902, to design the Hopi House at the Grand Canyon in 1905, and offered her permanent employment in 1910. When the Fred Harvey Company moved its offices to Union Station in Kansas City, Colter also came, designing the restaurant and gift shop at the station. She later oversaw the remodeling of the facilities to include a cocktail lounge and the Westport Room Restaurant.
