History Prize Awardees Thru 2011.Pdf New England Society in The City of Brooklyn 1991 - 2011 ___ Awards for Excellence in The Study of History About the Society Teachers who give out our book prizes for excellence in history, and the Brooklyn high school seniors who win them, often ask us who we are and what we think we’re doing. Perhaps a short history will help provide an answer. The New England Society in the City of Brooklyn began, as did so many other American organizations, as a group of men who shared an immigrant ancestry. Like its twin across the East River (The New England Society in the City of New York), the Brooklyn Society looked to ancestors who had immigrated from New England to New Netherland (and later to New York) beginning in the seventeenth century. This immigration became numerous, and was not always welcomed by the people already in the city, who called some of the newcomers by the insulting Dutch word, Janke (“little Jan”), pronounced “Yankee.” The New England immigrant wave reached a peak in the nineteenth century, a little before 1858, when a fellow by the name of Rowland H. Macy, of the Macy family of Nantucket Island in Massachusetts, founded a retail dry-goods store in Manhattan. Macy may have been the best-known New England immigrant to the city, but he was not a member of the New England Society because it would not be solidly founded until the 1880s, a generation later. For about a century, the Society’s archives show that it was an archetypal Victorian speech and dinner society, providing for widows and orphans, celebrating the landing of the Pilgrims with an enormous banquet every year on December 21, and providing a contingent under a wonderfully ornate banner to march in civic parades. The Society, which never did get a building, still has a dinner every fall, and in the Twentieth Century it began to admit members not solely on the basis of New England ancestry but also on demonstrated “loyalty and devotion” to these northern regions. About a decade ago, the Society was even adventurous enough to invite women to join which swelled our rolls to about 100 members. In fact, the New England Society has always evolved at a somewhat stately pace, slow enough – not to put too fine a point on it – for history to keep up with. Toward the end of the twentieth century the Society accelerated its social service educational mission, and for decades now it has provided some half a dozen scholarship grants every year to help graduates of Brooklyn secondary schools go to New England colleges. It has also long offered its book prize for excellence in the study of history to a senior in each of the nearly 60 schools – public, private, denominational, and experimental – that offer high school diplomas in this fair city of Brooklyn (which legally became a borough a little over a century ago, but is no less a city for that); and we invite schools and school leaders to offer the prize to their best. Some of these, we hope, will receive our scholarship grants, and some, when they return from Bowdoin, or the University of Vermont, or Northeastern or Yale, may be interested in joining The New England Society in the City of Brooklyn and helping to fund their successors. – William R.

  • Behavioral Science PSY-1 DRAWING an IMAGINARY
    Behavioral Science PSY-1 DRAWING AN IMAGINARY WORLD: THE EFFECTS ON SHORT-TERM MOOD IMPROVEMENT IN CHILDREN Irfa Kafayat (UG) and Jennifer Drake, Department of Psychology, Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY. Previous research has shown that drawing improves short-term mood in both adults and children when used as a form of distraction rather expression (Drake & Winner, 2012; 2013). This study examined the advantages of a distraction drawing task that calls for creation of an imaginary world vs. a non-imaginary world. When children use their imagination to create an imaginary world, their emotions are directed at the events in that imaginary world rather than ongoing, actual events (Harris, 2000). This study included 60 children between the ages of 6 and 8 (M = 7;6; SD = 0;10; 32 females). In order to induce a sad mood, I asked participants to think of a disappointing event. After the negative mood induction, I randomly assigned children: to draw a picture of a real event (a dog chasing a robber) or a picture of an imaginary event (dragon chasing a witch). With the premise that imagination and fictional events can help improve mood, I predicted that those in the imagine condition, children who drew a “dragon chasing a witch” would have a greater mood improvement than those in the real condition. Mood was measured before and after the mood induction and after drawing. Mood improvement did not differ between the two conditions, (1, 59) = 0.366, p = 0.548. However, the imaginary condition was marginally more absorbed in the activity than the real condition, F (1, 59) = 3.109, p = .083.
