In a famous letter from Abigail to her husband on March 31, 1776, she wrote: “I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” Day One Walking Tour From the hotel, head south on 16th St. to Lafayette Square.

  • Where to Go Camping
    There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program.

  • The Shape and History of the Ellipse in Washington, D.C
    The Shape and History of the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. Clark Kimberling Department of Mathematics University of Evansville 1800 Lincoln Avenue, Evansville, IN 47722 email: [email protected] 1 Introduction When conic sections are introduced to mathematics classes, certain real-world examples are often cited. Favorites include lamp-shade shadows for hyperbolas, paths of baseballs for parabolas, and planetary orbits for ellipses. There is, however, another outstanding example of an ellipse. Known simply as the Ellipse, it is a gathering place for thousands of Americans every year, and it is probably the world’s largest noncircular ellipse. Situated just south of the White House in President’sPark, the Ellipse has an interesting shape and an interesting history. Figure 1. Looking north from the top of Washington Monument: the Ellipse and the White House [19] When Charles L’Enfant submitted his Plan for the American capital city to President George Washington, he included many squares, circles, and triangles. Today, well known shapes in or near the capital include the Federal Triangle, McPherson Square, the Pentagon, the Octagon House Museum, Washington Circle, and, of course, the Ellipse. Regarding the Ellipse in its present size and shape, a map dated September 29, 1877 (Figure 7) was probably used for the layout. The common gardener’smethod would not have been practical for so large an ellipse –nearly 17 acres –so that the question, "How was the Ellipse laid out?" is of considerable interest. (The gardener’s method uses three stakes and a rope. Drive two stakes into the ground, and let 2c be the distance between them.
