Maybe it emerged gradually from a new appreciation of the United States’ place in a broader world as they planned the exhibitions that would best showcase each country’s national culture. Or maybe they were impressed by the developments in the fine arts coming out of late nineteenth-century Europe as countries shipped works by Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir, among others. Personally, though, I like to think that it was the opening ceremony that clinched it. Standing in front of an enormous American flag, President Grover Cleveland pressed a telegraph button, causing water to burst out of electric fountains, drapery to fall from an enormous gold statue of the goddess of liberty, 700 banners to unfurl in unison, and a 5,000-person choir to burst into Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” I can’t help but imagine a group full of wealthy, cultured elites watching the display and thinking, “Maybe a little Old World polish wouldn’t be the worst thing.” Whenever the exact moment, whatever the cause, 1893 was undoubtedly the moment that the idea of the American Academy in Rome first came into being. In the early years there was no school, just a handful of scholarships provided by Columbia University and Pennsylvania State University to subsidize artists and architects as they travelled to Rome. In fairly short order, the organization rented out a building and opened as the American School of Architecture in Rome. For a few years the organization floundered, incorporating and issuing stock, but never really establishing a firm financial foundation. It dissolved in 1897 and re-formed as the American Academy in Rome. Advocates of the institution successfully introduced a bill in Congress to make the Academy a national institution in the early twentieth century. Soon after the Academy received funding from Harvard, The Carnegie Foundation, J.P. Morgan, J.P. Morgan Jr., John D. Rockefeller, The Rockefeller Foundation, William Vanderbilt, and others. In 1912, it merged with the American School of Classical Studies and ever since has given out fellowships to both artists and scholars, including Salvador Dali, Joseph Brodsky, Aaron Copland, and Robert Penn Warren, to name a few. Today the Academy hosts scholars through its own prizes and through prizes from affiliated institutions. The Rome Prize supports “innovative and cross-disciplinary work in the arts and humanities. Each year, the prize is awarded to about thirty artists and scholars who represent the highest standard of excellence and who are in the early or middle stages of their careers.” Deadline: November 1, 2020 “The ACLS/Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships supports a nine-month residency at any one of twelve national research centers and libraries, including the American Academy in Rome.” Deadline: TBA Funding: $95,000. “The Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) Multi-Country Fellowship Program supports advanced regional or transregional research in the humanities, social sciences, or allied natural sciences for US doctoral candidates and scholars who have already earned their PhD. Preference will be given to candidates examining comparative and/or crossregional research. Applicants are eligible to apply as individuals or in teams.” Deadline: Annually in January. Funding: $11,000 Oscar Broneer Traveling Fellowship “is awarded for research in Greece and Italy in alternate years... It is expected that the fellow will use the American Academy in Rome as a base from which to pursue work through trips to sites, museums, or repositories of materials relevant to the fellow’s research.” Deadline: TBA. Funding: $30,000. 2 Return to table of contents Sage Advice When to Visit the Sponsored Research Office– A Timeline for Your Early Years You might not know this, but we on the Sponsored Research team are on a bit of a campaign to get more faculty from the humanities and social sciences to come to our office. (Scientists are a separate case—they are much more likely to have a sense of the services we can offer and often need our help to submit grant applications, so they know to come to us early, sometimes before they have even started teaching.) But we also know that if you are in the humanities or social sciences you probably haven’t spent much time interacting with a Sponsored Research Office, so it might not seem obvious when to see us or why. We’ve written before about why to see us, so for today I want to focus on when. Because it turns out that there’s a fairly standard timeline to follow if you want a fellowship for your SAPL leave to burnish your CV, (possibly) give you extra time, and make your case that much stronger for tenure. Year One It’s never a bad idea to meet with us. If you have the mental energy to do it in your first year, great. There are lots of things we can help you with–we can research funding options, help you think about a timeline for applying, start looking for travel grants or grants for the following summer. Honestly, though, you are probably swamped and overwhelmed your first year, so don’t worry about it if this just isn’t a priority for you this year. The only caveat here is if you are looking for funding for the following summer—if you are looking to apply for an NEH summer stipend (which we hope some of you do!), you should be aware that the internal deadline is in mid-September, so you’ll probably want to talk to us during the summer between your first and second years. Year Two This is when you need to start thinking about your SAPL year. (I know, I know. Still.) NEH fellowships are due in April, with a projected start date of January the following year, so if you’re interested in applying to that and have worked out your leave situation with you department, I would recommend seeing us at some point during spring semester to talk about the application in advance of the deadline. Definitely come see us during the summer between your second and third year, if you haven’t already. A huge number of fellowships are due in September and October. (Think the Fulbright, ACLS, the various Institutes for Advanced Study, etc.) Since the fellowships you apply for in your third year will fund your fourth year leave, you’ll want to have all of your options and deadlines straight so you are all set to go in the fall. We can make sure you’re not overlooking anything. If you have the bandwidth, this is also a great time to send us a draft of your application. You’ll be sending a version of the same proposal everywhere, so why not take some time over the summer to get some feedback and perfect it? This is also the time to let your recommenders know that you’ll need their help and to start talking with your Chair if you’re looking for more time off than the standard year. Year Three Hopefully you’ve got a proposal you feel great about and your recommenders are all lined up, so apply like crazy! Don’t forget to let us know where you’re applying, so we can fill out routing forms, and what the outcome is when you hear back! We’re happy to see you at any stage of your career. As a general rule of thumb, consider reach out 12- 18 months before your anticipated leave to talk about your options.

  • July 2021 Change
    July 2021 In This Issue: President's Message Send Your Information Affiliate Activities We Remember Notable Birthdays Calendar of Events Change. After the past year and a half, most likely all of us have a new perspective on change and everything it connotes. Change can be frightening, uncomfortable and heartbreaking. It also can be rejuvenating, uplifting and necessary. One of the biggest changes NFPW found it necessary to make during the COVID-19 pandemic was to shift the 2021 conference from an in-person meeting to a virtual event. It was a tremendous leap of faith. How would members respond? How would potential speakers respond? Could we make the technology work? What resulted was rejuvenating and uplifting, due in no small measure to the efforts of the conference host affiliate—Arkansas Press Women—and their commitment to what turned out to be a two-year odyssey to get from Baton Rouge in 2019 to Little Rock in 2021. And what a conference it turned out to be! The sessions were interesting, engaging and moving. We heard from such remarkable women as Michelle Duster, the great- granddaughter of African-American journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, and Elizabeth Eckford, one of nine African-American students who integrated Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. I hope those of you who heard them speak were as inspired as I was. We also had a chance to learn the latest about drones, podcasting, social media strategies, writing memoirs, being a food and travel writer, and misinformation on the Internet—all relevant and important topics in today’s rapidly changing media world.

  • Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical
    Incoming Correspondence of Mary Baker Eddy (Formerly Chestnut Hill File) Collection Description Correspondence, c. 1880–1910 This collection consists mainly of letters received by Mary Baker Eddy and members of her household from c. 1880–1910. A small quantity of correspondence also predates and postdates this time span. Comments, notations, and responses by Eddy or her staff also appear on some documents. Correspondents include family, students, employees, Christian Scientists, the general public, and a few notable figures such as journalist Arthur Brisbane and suffragist Susan B. Anthony. There are approximately 6,700 correspondent files, many consisting of one letter (see finding aid for complete list). It is likely that her personal secretary, Calvin A. Frye, organized this file with assistance from other secretaries in later years. The name Chestnut Hill File derives from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home in Chestnut Hill, MA, where the file was located until it was moved to The First Church of Christ, Scientist sometime after 1915. Because of confusion about the scope and content of the file–it is not correspondence only from the time Eddy lived at Chestnut Hill, nor is it material about Chestnut Hill or the home located there–the file has been renamed to reflect what the file does contain, Eddy’s incoming correspondence. Size of collection: 38.3 linear feet Date opened: large portions on September 29, 2002 and December 23, 2002 Access: Some material is open. Remaining material will be processed upon request. See finding aid for a complete list of files and their status. 200 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA 02115 888-222-3711 www.marybakereddylibrary.org Provenance The Chestnut Hill File was transferred to the archives of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, sometime after the conveyance of Eddy’s personal property from the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy to the church.

  • The Role of Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science Compared to the Role of Jesus Question​: What Kind of Es
    The role of Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science compared to the role of Jesus Question: ​ What kind of esteem is Mary Baker Eddy held in by the Christian Science Church – especially in relation to Jesus himself? In Christian Science churches, the words of both Eddy and Jesus are prominent at the front of the sanctuary – seemingly with an insistence that they be given equal consideration and meditation. Coming from a Catholic background, it is of course well­bred into me that nothing is to be held in higher esteem than Jesus and his teachings. I wonder if you could shed some light on this for me. Response: ​ The question you’ve raised is one that Mary Baker Eddy herself frequently encountered – from critics and even from over­zealous admirers – and she was always absolutely adamant in her response. She would have thoroughly agreed with you that “nothing is to be held in higher esteem than Jesus and his teachings.” Although Mary Baker Eddy is honored by Christian Scientists as the Discoverer of Christian Science and Founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist, there is no sense in which she can legitimately be equated with Jesus or seen as superseding him. Rather, she saw herself as having discovered (not originated or invented) the divine law, or Science, which Jesus ​ ​ embodied and by which he healed the sick and sinful. She considered this Science to be the Comforter, the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised “will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you” (John 14:26).

  • Women Who Would Not Be Silent
    WOMEN WHO WOULD NOT BE SILENT Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was an influential American author, teacher, and religious leader, noted for her groundbreaking ideas about spirituality and health, which she named Christian Science. She articulated those ideas in her major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. Four years later she founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, which today has branch churches and societies around the world. In 1908 she launched The Christian Science Monitor, a leading international newspaper, the recipient, to date, of seven Pulitzer Prizes. “Woman must not and will not be disheartened by a thousand denials or a million of broken pledges. With the assurance of faith she prays, with the certainty of inspiration she works, and with the patience of genius she waits. At last she is becoming ‘as fair as the morn, as bright as the sun, and as terrible as an army with banners’ to those who march under the black flag of oppression and wield the ruthless sword of injustice.” ~Pulpit and Press, 83:8 “Let the voice of Truth and Love be heard above the dire din of mortal nothingness, and the majestic march of Christian Science go on ad infinitum, praising God, doing the works of primitive Christianity, and enlightening the world.” ~The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, page 245 “Let it not be heard in Boston that woman, ‘last at the cross and first at the sepulchre,’ has no rights which man is bound to respect. In natural law and in religion the right of woman to fill the highest measure of enlightened understanding and the highest places in government, is inalienable, and these rights are ably vindicated by the noblest of both sexes.

  • Wagner Collection ______Of American History and Literature
    The Wagner Collection ____ _____ of American History and Literature 1 Collected in memory of Bondurant Paul Wagner (1889-1937), journalist and booklover, and his only child, Vera Henrietta Wagner (1917-2000), by Katherine Melissa Witcher, his grand-daughter and her daughter. 1 The book plate used for the collection is an adaptation of the original, commissioned by Paul Wagner for his daughter Vera on her 12th birthday (1929) in Houston, Texas, where she grew up. It is found on most of the books in the collection. 2 Paul Wagner, of German lineage, was born in LaBelle, Missouri, the only son of Oliver Cromwell Wagner and the grandson of Chief Justice David Wagner of the Supreme Court of Missouri. The great hero of his youth was Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), a neighbor from the nearby town of Hannibal, and Paul became a writer for this reason. Paul’s first career post was as Chief Editor of the Shreveport Examiner, Louisiana, and thereafter he became a full-time oil and gas journalist, reporting on most of the early oil discoveries in the Greater Southwest, Mexico and Central America. He became editor-in-chief of the Petroleum News, a position which he held until his early death. This major publication continues today. His own book collection was large and varied, and much was imported from England. Vera, inheriting from her father the whole of his collections of books and paintings, carried these with her throughout her life, until dispersal to state libraries, art galleries and museums – mostly in Texas, where she died.
