The present report of the Alumnae Association, being the first issued since the adoption of the new by-laws and the change in the time of occurrence of the annual meeting, covers, not a full year, but the period from June, 1898, to February, 1899, only. During this interval the Association has held two regular meetings in Bryn Mawr, one on November 19th. 1898, the other, on February nth, 1899. Although at the November meeting there was no quorum present, the business was trans- acted as usual and reserved for ratification by the February meeting. In order to permit of the occurrence of the annual meeting in February, as provided in the new by-laws adopted, with the exception of Article II., Section i, by the November meeting, but not yet ratified by the Association, a card was sent to each member of the Association, on which was printed a resolution that Article II., Section i, of the new by-laws, providing that there shall be in each year but one regular meet- ing of the Association, to be held in February on a date chosen by the Board of Directors, be tried provisionally for two years. The vote received on this resolution from the whole Associa- tion was fifty-nine affirmative, seven negative. At the meeting held, in accordance with this vote, on February nth, the busi- ness transacted at the November meeting was formally ratified, and the new by-laws, except Article II., Section i, adopted. The most important changes made by the new by-laws are: the time and number of the meetings of the Association (Art. II., Sec. i); biennial elections; the appointment of all com- mittees except the Academic Committee, by the Board of Directors, subject to ratification by the Association ; the increase of the annual dues to one dollar. Printed copies of the by-laws were sent to members of the Association before the November meeting. The success of the February meeting was largely ensured by the luncheon given by President Thomas to the Alumnae to meet the Academic Committee. During the period covered by the report the Board of Direc- tors has held three formal and a number of informal meetings, and has conducted much of the necessary business by cor- respondence. The most important. matters that have come be- fore the Board, in addition to the by-laws, have been: (a) the final adoption of the seal of the Association and the completion of the business connected with the transfer of the Scholarships Fund (b) the discussion of the appropriation of the Alumnae ; Fund; (c) the appointment of committees and the date of the " February meeting. (a). In July, 1898, in accordance with the resolution of the- June meeting of that year, empowering the Executive Com- mittee to choose a seal, the design for the seal was approved by the members of the Comrhittee, and the seal was made and mounted in a press. On the completion of the seal, the deed of gift transferring the Scholarships Fund to the Trustees was legally signed and sealed by the officers of the Association, and the seal of the Trustees added to their signatures, already given. This act completed the business connected with the transfer of the Scholarships Fund. (b). The Executive Committee was also empowered by the meeting in June, 1898, to appoint a committee whose duty should be the investigation of the desirability of ah Entertain- ment Hall as the ultimate destination of the Alumnse Fund. The Executive. Committee decided that before' any. such Com- mittee were appointed, President Thomas should be consulted, and the attitude of the College towards a build.ing^of this character should be ascertained. President Thomas, having consented to meet the Executive 'Committee, discussed, with it the possible destinations of the Alumnse Fund, Since the main features of a separate Students' Hall would be included in the auditorium provided for in.the plan of the future College buildings, of which blue prints were distributed among the alumnae, at the supper of 1898, and since the need for such an auditorium was not felt to be the most immediately pressing. President Thomas was not in favour of a Students' Hall. An' addition to the gymnasium, including increased floor space, committee rooms, and kitchens, seemed to President Thomas and the Committee an excellent object for the Alumnae Fund, but less immediately important than the third alternative, the library building. President Thomas told the Committee that the library building was necessary to the welfare of the Col- lege, and that it was hoped that, in the near future, the raising of subscriptions might be begun. In raising money for the library the active cooperation of the alumnae would be desired, and it therefore seemed unwise that any energy be diverted towards another object. As a result of this conference, the Executive Committee did not appoint a Committee to investi- gate entertainment halls, but recommended to the Association that the Association consider the library building as an object for the Alumnae Fund, and also appoint a large Committee to work with the present collectors in formulating and carrying out a plan to raise a part of the money required for the erec- tion of the library building. No action was taken on this rec- ommendation in the November meeting, but in the February meeting it was decided, in view of the necessities of the Students' Loan Fund and the large amount of money required for the library building, to appropriate the Alumnae Fund till February, 1900, to the Students' Loan Fund. (c). The appointments of committees made by the Board of ' Directors were ratified by the Association at the meeting held on February nth. N. Neilson, Recording Secretary. - REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES. REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. This year the Academic Committee held its two conferences on successive days in February, according to the plan approved by the Alumnae Association in June, 1898. At the first conference, held with President Thomas, various mat- ters connected with the College were discussed, such as the estab- lishment of a research fellowship; the social life of the students; and intercollegiate athletics. The immediate outcome of this conference was the proposal made by the committee and accepted by the associa- tion that .the alumnae raise money for a research fellowship to be con- ferred by Bryn Mawr. At the second conference, held with President Thomas, Professor Andrews and Mr. Harkness, a discussion was held on the marking system, the com'mittee presenting a detailed- report of the methods used by other colleges, on the entrance requirements and examina- tions, and on other important matters, which are to be further in- vestigated by the committee.

  • David Duncan and His Descendants
    THE STORY OF THOMAS DUNCAN AND HIS SIX SONS BY KATHERINE DUNCAN SMITH (Mrs. J. Morgan Smith) NEW YORK TOBIAS A. WRIGHT, INc. PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS 1928 FOREWORD ESEARCH in Duucan genealogy was begun in 1894 and has been R carried on industriously to this date through Court records, VVills, Deeds, Bible records and tombstone inscriptions which have furnished proof and have affixed the seal of authenticity to much of the recorded data. Interested kinspeople have contributed from their store of family traditions some of which have been found to agree with certain facts and may be considered true. Many letters have been received, principally from descendants of Daniel and Stephen Duncan, extracts of which appear in this history and are mute evidence of the interest the writers feel in their lineage and their desire to worthily live and teach their chil­ dren to hold to the standard set by their ancestors. That there are errors in this publication there can be no doubt, but not of my making for: "I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me." (Sir Walter Scott.) The frequent appearance of my name and the very personal nature of this book is warranted, somewhat, by the fact that all along the thought has been it would be distributed, mainly, among the descendants of Daniel and Stephen Duncan, between whose families there is very close relationship because of the intermar­ riage of many cousins. The stretch of years between 1894 and 1928 is a long one and it is not possible for me to estimate the time I have given to my self-imposed task, but if this book shall meet with favor and be prized by those into whose hands it may fall, the hours, days and weeks devoted to The Story of Thom,,as Dun­ can and His Si.r Sons will be remembered by me as pastime.

  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania 1 Dear CTSO Leaders, As the leader of a statewide trade association dedicated to the growth and development of the technology industry in Pennsylvania, I am keenly aware of the need for a highly-skilled, well-trained, and motivated workforce. At the Technology Council of Pennsylvania, we are strong advocates for advancements in and the promotion of S.T.E.M. education, as well as career and technical training, in order to prepare our young people to succeed in the 21st Century, global economy. That is why we support the work of Pennsylvania’s Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) and the critical role they play in today’s education community. For nearly 70 years, CTSOs have been able to extend teaching and learning through a variety of targeted programs, public-private partnerships and leadership development initiatives that produce technically advanced, employable students to meet the needs of this country’s diverse employer base. Today, the work of CTSOs has never been more valuable as our economy demands workers with a strong understanding of science, technology, engineering and math concepts as well as hands-on technical expertise. The co-curricular approach of CTSOs uniquely positions these organizations to enhance student skill sets and better prepare them to excel in their chosen careers. In order for Pennsylvania and the United States to not only compete, but succeed on a global stage, we need to ensure that the very technology and innovation companies that are driving this global economy have the availability of a well-qualified workforce.

    COMM 509 Classical Rhetorical Theory Spring 2019 – Section 20787r Mondays 3:30 – 6:20 pm 4 units Location: ASC 331 Instructor: G. Thomas Goodnight Office Hours: Monday 9:00 – 9:00 am Office: ASC 206a Contact Info: [email protected] 213-821-5384 Course Description The aim of the course is to introduce students to the cultural development of rhetoric as part of Greek art, literature, drama, philosophy and public practice during the classical enlightenment. The course will feature reading, report, discussions of primary texts, with key contemporary secondary works. The course will include rhetorical, dialectical, and aesthetic theories of human being, knowledge, practice and culture. The cultural forms of mapping, sports, medicine, well- being, and conflict will furnish topics for inquiry. Course Objectives & Goals Classical rhetoric is a tradition that begins from a constellation of cultural practices in the Mediterranean located in the bronze age and extends through writing into the formative literature and history of Hellenic times. The course familiarize students with the emergence of culture and symbolic forms that persist within and against codes of honor, the household, and the market. Cultural forms focus conflict, manifest antagonism, and generate opposition, controversy and debate. The political and normative cultural forms find articulation in moral instruction, political persuasion, ethical life, and aesthetic pleasures. The relationship of rhetoric to contemporary communication assemblies, problematics, resources, and speculative ventures serves as the broad focus of inquiry. Skills Students will (1) acquire a vocabulary for rhetorical studies, (2) be able to assemble and annotate authoritative sources, (3) be taught to map the influence of classical concepts over time, (4) appreciate international, forms of life in cultural expression.
