The Board of Trustees This year is marked by the termination of the chairmanship of Robert G. Dodge who has for twenty-four years been a mem- ber of the Board and for seventeen years its chairman. We have had many occasions on which to try to express the appreciation of the College for Mr. Dodge's magnificent service. All those efforts are inadequate to express the indebtedness we feel for the clarity of his vision, the soundness of his judgment, the keenness of his insight, and the strength of his kindness and generosity. -

VASSAR President Kent S. Webber presided, and Virginia DAR President Virginia Sebastian Storage and Virginia C.A.R. President Chas Leiss gave remarks as well. Over 70 people were in attendance, including two descendants of St. George Tucker. The event also commemorated a restoration of the grave site, which was funded by the VASSAR Knight/Patty Memorial Trust Fund. Several bricks had come loose over the years, endangering the full-length slab and its Latin inscription. St. George Tucker was born into a prominent family on Bermuda on July 10, 1752, but came to Williamsburg, Vir- ginia, as a young man to pursue a career in the law. As the tensions between the colonies and Great Britain rose, he and his brother, Dr. Thomas Tudor Tucker of Charleston, South Carolina, separately informed patriot leaders that the - continued on page 5 Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution 2013-2014 Officers Kent S.

Lobbying and the Petition Clause
Stanford Law Review Volume 68 May 2016 ARTICLE Lobbying and the Petition Clause Maggie McKinley* Abstract. Contrary to popular opinion, the Supreme Court has not yet resolved whether lobbying is constitutionally protected. Belying this fact, courts, Congress, and scholars mistakenly assume that lobbying is protected under the Petition Clause. Because scholars have shared the mistaken assumption that the Petition Clause protects the practice of “lobbying,” no research to date has looked closely at the Petition Clause doctrine and the history of petitioning in relation to lobbying. In a recent opinion addressing petitioning in another context, the Supreme Court unearthed the long history behind the right to petition and argued for the importance of this history for future interpretation of the Petition Clause. Following the Supreme Court’s direction, this Article examines the implications of the history of petitioning for lobbying and, drawing from recent empirical research on lobbying, argues that the way Congress engages with the public through our current lobbying system actually violates the right to petition. At the Founding, and for much of this Nation’s history, the right to petition protected a formal, transparent platform for individual—and, in particular, minority—voices to participate in the lawmaking process. Without regard to the number of signers or the political power of the petitioner, petitions received equal process and consideration. This platform allowed both the enfranchised and unenfranchised to gain access to lawmakers on equal footing. Women, African Americans, and Native Americans all engaged in petitioning activity, and Congress attended to each equally. Moving beyond ahistorical, decontextualized interpretations of the Petition Clause, this Article posits that our current lobbying system—wherein access and procedure are * (Fond du Lac Band, Lake Superior Ojibwe) Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law, Harvard Law School. -
A Historical Interpretation of the Eleventh Amendment: a Narrow Construction of an Affirmative Grant of Jurisdiction Rather Than a Prohibition Against Jurisdiction
A Historical Interpretation of the Eleventh Amendment: A Narrow Construction of an Affirmative Grant of Jurisdiction Rather than a Prohibition Against Jurisdiction William A. Fletcher* INTRODUCTION The eleventh amendment is one of the Constitution's most baf- fling provisions and, for its importance, one of the least analyzed. Its full text provides, The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any foreign state. In a number of decisions, the Supreme Court has treated the amend- ment as prohibiting federal courts from taking jurisdiction over suits brought in federal court against a state by private citizens.2 The * Acting Professor of Law, Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berke- ley.

Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest. -
Discovery Volume 24 Issue 1 SUMMER 2019 Number of Cartridges Increased Per Patron
North Dakota State Library Talking Books Discovery Volume 24 Issue 1 SUMMER 2019 Number Of Cartridges Increased Per Patron One of the projects we are working on this summer is returning our physical copy books to NLS. All the active patrons are now receiving books via Duplication on Demand, meaning each cartridge is specifically duplicated for each patron. With this change, it has been decided to increase the maximum number of cartridges you can receive to five. If you would like to increase your number of cartridges, please call 1-800-843-9948 and let Liz or James know. Need Help? • Not getting the books you like? • Not getting enough? • Getting too many? • Have you changed your address or phone number? • Do you need to update your address? If you ever feel like you are not receiving all of your books, there are several reasons this might happen: • You have exhausted your list with all the books written by your favorite authors or reading interests. • You are set up as “request only” but have not given us new titles to add to your account. • You are at your limit and need to return some items. • Your desired reading preferences are too limited. • You have overdue items. DISCOVERY 2 SUMMER Screen Magnifier Thanks to the generosity of the Bowman Regional Public Library, the Talking Book Library now has a Merlin Enhanced Vision screen magnifier. Anyone can come to the library to use it or ask for a demonstration. This useful tool makes it easier for those with low vision to enlarge objects for easier viewing. -

Early Customs Laws and Delegation
\\jciprod01\productn\G\GWN\87-6\GWN601.txt unknown Seq: 1 24-APR-20 9:08 Early Customs Laws and Delegation Jennifer Mascott* ABSTRACT This past Term the Supreme Court reexamined the nondelegation doc- trine, with several justices concluding that in the proper case, the Court should consider significantly strengthening the doctrine in its contemporary form. Adherents to the doctrine question whether Congress has developed a practice of improperly delegating to administrative agencies the legislative power that Congress alone must exercise under the Vesting Clause of Article I of the Con- stitution. Many scholars have debated the extent of the historical or textual basis for the doctrine. Instead, this Article examines interactions between exec- utive and legislative actors during the first congressional debates on the Im- post, Tonnage, Registration, and Collection of Duties Acts. In addition to revealing Congress’s central role early on, this story shows the relevance of state and congressional district interests to the legislative agreements concern- ing customs laws. The rich depth of these varied interests suggests that nondelegation limitations might not be inherent in the Vesting Clause alone, but may be innate to the federal government’s tripartite and federalist struc- tural design itself. The Constitution carefully provided significant protection for state inter- ests through diverse representation schemes in the House and the Senate. Be- yond the textual limitation of exclusive vesting of the legislative power in Congress, separation of powers principles help ensure all people’s interests are represented in a way that would not be possible via a singular, centralized administrative entity. The acts of such administrative entities are accountable, if at all, to just one centralized elected official, not to multiple elected deci- sionmakers representing states and regional interests. -
