  • Tennessee Symbols and Honors
    514 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK Tennessee Symbols And Honors Official Seal of the State Even before Tennessee achieved statehood efforts were made by local govern- mental organizations to procure official seals. Reliable historians have assumed that as early as 1772 the Articles of the Agreement of the Watauga Association authorized the use of a seal. The Legislature of the state of Franklin, by an official act, provided “for procuring a Great Seal for this State,” and there is also evidence that a seal was intended for the Territory South of the River Ohio. The secretary of that territory requested the assistance of Thomas Jefferson in March, 1792, in “suggesting a proper device” for a seal. There is no direct evidence, however, that a seal was ever made for any of these predecessors of Tennessee. When Tennessee became a state, the Constitution of 1796 made provision for the preparation of a seal. Each subsequent constitution made similar provisions and always in the same words as the first. This provision is (Constitution of 1796, Article II, Section 15; Constitution of 1835, Article III, Section 15; Constitution of 1870, Article III, Section 15) as follows: There shall be a seal of this state, which shall be kept by the governor, and used by him officially, and shall be called “The Great Seal of the State of Tennessee.” In spite of the provision of the Constitution of 1796, apparently no action was taken until September 25, 1801. On that date committees made up of members from both the Senate and the House of Representatives were appointed.

    Book of Barely Imagined for B 11/01/2013 10:17 Page i THE BOOK of BARELY IMAGINED BEINGS As centuries pass by, the mass of works grows endlessly, and one can foresee a time when it will be almost as difficult to educate oneself in a library, as in the universe, and almost as fast to seek a truth subsisting in nature, as lost among an immense number of books. Denis Diderot, Encyclopédie, 1755 In our gradually shrinking world, everyone is in need of all the others. We must look for man wherever we can find him. When on his way to Thebes Oedipus encountered the Sphinx, his answer to its riddle was: ‘Man’. That simple word destroyed the monster. We have many monsters to destroy. Let us think of the answer of Oedipus.

Lemmon [email protected] April 15, 2003 Tom Lemmon International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators & Asbestos Workers The Historical Significance of the Salamander and Its Relationship with Asbestos and the Asbestos Workers Trademark recognition means so much in today’s society. It is seen everywhere. It appears that everyone has some sort of logo or look that attempts to set them apart from the rest. If one was to take the time to look at all the logos used by the building trades within the AFL-CIO, they would notice that most logos have some sort of direct connection between that trade and their logo. In almost all cases, the connection is obvious, whether it be a tool of the trade or the actual materials that are used by their craftsmen in their daily efforts. Without question, those union workers would hold the “bug,” logo or icon precious and dear to their hearts. The same goes for the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators & Asbestos Workers and their beloved Salamander. Typical rank and file Insulators / Asbestos Workers have, over time, lost touch with their symbolic use of a salamander perched on top of a pipe with a raging fire below and no longer have a clear understanding of the rich history that comes along with it.
