Preferred Citation: Item description, McKee Library: Thomas Memorial Collection, Series #, box #, and folder #, McKee Library Special Collections at Southern Adventist University, Collegedale Biography The Thomas Memorial Collection exists today as a result of three major contributors. Dr. Vernon L. Thomas, the namesake of the collection, along with Dr. Russell C. Slater and John W. Fling, Jr., each contributed books, photos, periodicals, and other memorabilia concerning Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. The original collector of the Civil War material was Dr. Russell Slater of La Salle, Illinois. John W. Fling, Jr., a lawyer of Wyoming, Illinois, spent a lifetime gathering the Abraham Lincoln material. Dr. Thomas acquired both of these collections and, in 1973, donated it in its entirety to McKee Library. Dr. Thomas was born in Oklahoma on April 9, 1918. He attended Southwestern Junior College (now Southwestern Adventist University) in Keene, Texas, and Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska. He received his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in Loma Linda, California. Dr. Thomas then served at a mission hospital in Nicaragua. Upon returning to the United States, he opened a clinic in Grandview, Texas. A serious bibliophile, Dr. Thomas had collected books since 1951, accumulating a personal library of over 30,000 volumes, in addition to the Lincoln and Civil War material. Dr. Thomas passed away on November 24, 2011. Collection Scope and Content Note Series 1: Collectors’ Correspondence and Personal Papers, 1904-1962 (3 boxes, 1.5 linear ft.)

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

    Fitchburg Art Museum in Partnership : with Fitchburg State University Presents: February 9 - June 1, 2014 Table of Contents 1 Foreword 3 Acknowledgments 5 A Word From The Artist 7 Introduction 9 JeFFu’s FFantastic FFunhouse Exploring Galleries 13 Experimental Performance 23 Playing With Your Food 51 Falling Into A Digital Paradise 19 Rethinking The Motion Picture 91 Exhibition Checklist 95 Biography 103 Bibliography Foreword: Jeffu Warmouth: NO MORE FUNNY STUFF is the first solo exhibition in the Fitchburg Art Museum’s new series of shows devoted to contemporary New England artists. It’s fitting – and important – to begin with Jeffu, because he is Fitchburg’s best-known contemporary artist. His work has been shown across the United States, and abroad, and he has been a vital participant in the regional visual arts community for two decades. This exhibition also reflects the deepening relationship between AMF and Fitchburg State University as we work together to create enhanced artistic and educational experiences for Fitchburg State students and FAM’s audience. A show as complex as Jeffu Warmouth: NO MORE FUNNY STUFF would have been impossible for FAM to achieve alone. Fitchburg State contributed the hard work and creativity of its faculty and students in myriad ways, provided technology and IT support, and invested funds in the exhibition. In return, their students enjoyed a real professional challenge while developing career-boosting portfolio materials. This pilot collaboration worked so well, that it will be continued for future shows at FAM. I would like to thank Fitchburg State President Robert Antonucci for his generosity of spirit and resources, and Professor Rob Carr for his vision and passion.

  • Moody Street Research Project
    MOODY STREET RESEARCH PROJECT The Bentley Service Learning Center Bentley University Waltham, MA Research Team: Melody Shekari (Project Manager), Alexandra Anaya, Owen Bacewicz, Elissa Chan, Dina Ferriero, Stephanie Gagnon, Sarah Hanley, Ellen Morris, Kathryn Ogorzalek, Michael Roper, Justin Rubbo, Joanna Scott, Janet Thai, Dr. Charles Hadlock, Faculty Advisor BENTLEY UNIVERSITY December 16, 2008 Executive Summary Moody Street in Waltham has reached a crossroads: restaurants on the street have achieved considerable success in recent years, while the retail segment has struggled. An assessment of the current commercial environment can offer valuable insight into the future direction of Moody Street. The potential for market saturation of restaurants may have implications on the types of future businesses that locate on Moody Street. In addition, the number of vacancies that have remained unoccupied for lengthy periods of time may be an indication of the need for an increased level of business support from the city and surrounding community. The current economic situation adds additional pressure and challenges to businesses located or thinking of locating on Moody Street. This study focuses on four main questions concerning the commercial success of Moody Street in the coming years: What does market analysis suggest in regard to consumer preferences and sales potential in the area? How do city regulations affect business development on Moody Street? Do the street’s existing infrastructural components meet the needs and expectations of Moody Street consumers and business owners? What is Moody Street’s current brand image, and what strategies have been successfully integrated into other comparable downtown areas to increase consumer brand awareness? This report not only answers these questions, but also offers suggestions and identifies promising opportunities for the transformation of Moody Street into a more popular consumer destination.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

Illinois Forest Areas increased by 40 percent since 1962, a reversal of the trend from 1948 to 1962. The volume of elms has continued to decrease due to Dutch elm disease, but red and white oaks, along with black walnut, have increased by 38 to 54 percent since 1962. The area of forest land in Illinois is approximately 5.3 million acres and represents 15% of the total land area of the state (Figure 1). Illinois’ forests are predominately hardwoods, with 90% of the total timberland area classified as hardwood forest types (Figure 2).
