Acknowledgements The only thing greater than the many obligations I incurred during the research and writing of this work is the pleasure that I take in acknowledging those debts. It would have been impossible for me to undertake, much less complete, this project without the support of the institutions and people who helped me along the way. Archival research is the sine qua non of history; mine was funded by numerous grants supporting work in repositories from California to Massachusetts. A Friends Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies supported my first year of research in the Philadelphia archives and also immersed me in the intellectual ferment and camaraderie for which the Center is justly renowned. A Dissertation Fellowship from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History provided months of support to work in the daunting Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library. The Chandis Securities Fellowship from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens brought me to San Marino and gave me entrée to an unequaled library of primary and secondary sources, in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.

The initial objective was the discovery cf primary materials from the period to fill a gap in the history of American educational thought and practice. Extensive searching cf unpublished and uncatalogued library holdings, mainly those of major public and university libraries, yielded a significant quantity of primary documents for this bibliography. The historical and contemporary works, comprising approximately 4,500 primary and secondary educational resources with some surveying the cultural setting of educational thinking in this period, are organized around 26 topics and 109 subtopics with cross-references. Among the educational issues covered by the cited materials are: public vs. private; coed vs. separate; academic freedom, teacher education; teaching and learning theory; and, equality of educational opportunity. In addition to historical surveys and other secondary materials, primary documents include: government documents, books, journals, newspapers, and speeches.

    ITS IMPORTANCE in NEW YORK MED ICINE* PAUL CUSHMAN, JR. T HE Kissams Were a Large and Prominent Family In

    689 THE KISSAM FAMILY: ITS IMPORTANCE IN NEW YORK MED ICINE* PAUL CUSHMAN, JR. Department of Internal Medicine St. Luke's Hospital Center New York, N. Y. T HE Kissams were a large and prominent family in New York City during most of the I8th and I9th centuries. Although especially eminent in commerce and in law, they also played a number of interest- ing roles in the history of American medicine.' This communication will present some of the most noteworthy contributions which the early members of the family made either to the development of medical practice or to the evolution of medical institutions. The family has been traced to John Ockasson who arrived in Cow Neck, Long Island (Now Manhasset-Great Neck), in the late I7th century. Since he spelled his surname in a variety of ways-about I8 different versions are recognized in real estate documents2-it is im- probable that his origins will ever be established. His son, Daniel, succeeded to the family farm and established the "Kissam" spelling of the surname. In eight generations that followed (see accompanying figure) 27 descendants of Daniel either practiced medicine or set out to do so by entering school. Of these, all but three bore the surname Kissam. Twenty-two members of the family actually practiced medicine. The accumulation of such a large number of physicians in one family is unique in American medicine to my knowledge. Further, the tendency of the medical Kissams to concentrate in the New York City area is remarkable. Seventeen Kissams were actively engaged in the practice of medicine at one time or another in the New York City area.

    Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James

    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

    'Memorials of great & good men who were my friends'': Portraits in the Life of Oliver Wolcott^Jn ELLEN G. MILES LIVER woLCOTT, JR. (1760-1833), like many of his contemporaries, used portraits as familial icons, as ges- Otures in political alliances, and as public tributes and memorials. Wolcott and his father Oliver Wolcott, Sr. (i 726-97), were prominent in Connecticut politics during the last quarter of the eighteenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth. Both men served as governors of the state. Wolcott, Jr., also served in the federal administrations of George Washington and John Adams. Withdrawing from national politics in 1800, he moved to New York City and was a successful merchant and banker until 1815. He spent the last twelve years of his public life in Con- I am grateful for a grant from the Smithsonian Institution's Research Opportunities Fund, which made it possible to consult manuscripts and see portraits in collecdüns in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven, î lartford. and Litchfield (Connecticut).

    Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1984 Vol, 36

    TRANSACTIONS OF SOCIETY OF ACTUARIES 1984 VOL, 36 SKETCHES OF EARLY NORTH AMERICAN ACTUARIES E. J. MOORHEAD ABSTRACT This paper undertakes to give dossiers of essentially all the actuaries who entered our profession in Canada or the United States up to about 1872. It includes those who died or left our profession before the Actuarial Society of America was formed in April 1889, and those who, in due course, became Fellows of that Society when or after it came into being. The paper also mentions some of the conditions under which the Actuarial Society was organized, and suggests that a yet fuller story of how our prede- cessors coped with circumstances and events of more than a century ago would be a desirable record to document. Felix qui potuit return cognoscere causas.---Virgil (Happy is he who has been able to search out the causes of things.) INTRODUCTION Those who consider it important that a profession understand its own beginnings will agree that this paper should have been written at least sixty years ago -- early enough so that the facts would have been readily obtain- able, yet late enough so that actions taken, or not taken, might be viewed dispassionately. Those who regard the lessons of the past to be worth study- ing will wish, as this chronicler does, to see more done than has here been undertaken by way of placing on record the major events and the turning points of the stormy period in which our pioneers lived. It may yet be possible -- perhaps as preparation for our centenary -- to set forth appraisals of how our professional ancestors tackled such thorny problems as gross versus net premium valuations, tontine dividend systems, and sharing dis- coveries and ideas in an era of widespread mistrust.
