306 0Appendix: AES: Advisory Council and Board, 19pB-194O.0 The following appendix includes aIl mernbers of the AES Advisory council from 19e3 to 1935 plus all members of the Board of Directors of the Society from 1ge3 to 1940 for whom biographical data could be found, The biographies focus on elernents that relate to the individuals activities as a Ieader in the Arnerican eugenics rnovement. I have I isted membership in professional organizationE which were clearly related to eugenics such as the American Social Hygiene Association or the American Genetics Association. I have also listed other organizational affiliation where the individual served as an officer. I have also concentrated more effort on those who are less we1 I known than those who are prorninent in the historical l iterature. Thusr I have a shorter entry for Charles Davenport than for Frank Babbott. Information on Davenport is available in numerous studies of eugenicsr while very littIe is available on Frank Babbott. Inforrnation for these biographies was collected from the _p_3*o.g;sp-bJ._._.end_.._-9en_ee.l_"o-gy*j!-B-F*t3J*..Ln.C_e_x ( Pnd ed i t i on r Detroit 19AO) and the 1981-1985 cu{nulation of the Index (De,troit 19AS). Further inforrnEtion was gathered from the Eg.qgn-l-g-*1._Neglaas well as other sources. The primary source rnaterial for this appendix was originally gathered into two three ring binders. Copies of this material will be deposited with the American Philosophical Society and will be available to scholars interested in the American Eugenics Society.

He is not listed in any of the standard biographical indexes. Anderson began teaching genetics at Kentucky in 1914. HE introduced a eugenics curriculum into the College of Agriculture. The curriculum was extended over the years to all students at the University. He was particularly proud of the relevance of his eugenics courses for education students. His eugenics classes averaged between fifty and one hundred students per semester per class. Anderson's 31 1 eugenics course was required for all domestic science majors.

    DIFFERENTIAL MINDS: MASS INTELLIGENCE TESTING AND RACE SCIENCE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Kate E. Sohasky A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland May 9, 2017 © Kate E. Sohasky All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Historians have argued that race science and eugenics retreated following their discrediting in the wake of the Second World War. Yet if race science and eugenics disappeared, how does one explain their sudden and unexpected reemergence in the form of the neohereditarian work of Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and Charles Murray? This dissertation argues that race science and eugenics did not retreat following their discrediting. Rather, race science and eugenics adapted to changing political and social climes, at times entering into states of latency, throughout the twentieth century. The transnational history of mass intelligence testing in the twentieth century demonstrates the longevity of race science and eugenics long after their discrediting. Indeed, the tropes of race science and eugenics persist today in the modern I.Q. controversy, as the dissertation shows. By examining the history of mass intelligence testing in multiple nations, this dissertation presents narrative of the continuity of race science and eugenics throughout the twentieth century.

  • HOME ECONOMICS Five New Models for Domestic Life Days Decades

    HOME ECONOMICS Five new models for domestic life Months Years Hours Days Decades British Pavilion, Venice Architecture Biennale 2016 en it HOME ECONOMICS proposes new models for the frontline of British architecture: the home. HOME ECONOMICS is the science of household management. It intervenes directly in the architecture of the home, responding to changes in life and social norms through the design of the everyday. HOME ECONOMICS asks urgent questions about the role of housing and domestic space in the material reality of familiar life. HOME ECONOMICS is a truly collaborative proposal challenging financial models, categories of ownership, forms of life, social and gender power relations. HOME ECONOMICS understands that in housing there can be no metaphors. Each model in Home Economics is a proposition driven by the conditions imposed on domestic life by varying periods of occupancy. They each address different facets of how we live today – from whether we can prevent property speculation, to whether sharing can be a form of luxury rather than a compromise. Home Economics presents five These models have been developed new models for domestic life curated in an intensely pragmatic way, through five periods of time. These working with architects, artists, timescales – Hours, Days, Months, developers, filmmakers, financial Years and Decades – correspond institutions and fashion designers. to how long each model is to be It is the first exhibition on called “home”. The projects appear architecture to be curated through as full-scale 1:1 interiors in the time spent in the home, and is British Pavilion, displaying dedicated to exploring alternatives architectural proposals as a direct to conventional domestic architecture.

    DEMOGRAPHIC DESTINIES Interviews with Presidents of the Population Association of America Interviews Referencing Frederick Osborn PAA President in 1949-50 This series of interviews with Past PAA Presidents was initiated by Anders Lunde (PAA Historian, 1973 to 1982) And continued by Jean van der Tak (PAA Historian, 1982 to 1994) And then by John R. Weeks (PAA Historian, 1994 to present) With the collaboration of the following members of the PAA History Committee: David Heer (2004 to 2007), Paul Demeny (2004 to 2012), Dennis Hodgson (2004 to present), Deborah McFarlane (2004 to 2018), Karen Hardee (2010 to present), Emily Merchant (2016 to present), and Win Brown (2018 to present) FREDERICK HENRY OSBORN We do not have an interview with Frederick Osborn, who was the 13th PAA President (1949-50). However, as Andy Lunde and Jean van der Tak (VDT) were interviewing other past presidents, they regularly asked questions about those early presidents whom they had been unable to interview. Below are the excerpted comments about Frederick Osborn. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Frederick Osborn was born in New York City in 1889 to a wealthy family. In 1910 he graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University with a major in English. He then did a year of graduate study at Cambridge University. Following that, he worked in the family's railroad business until the outbreak of World War I. During the war he was a volunteer ambulance driver in the American Red Cross in France. Upon returning home after the war, he sold the railroad to Henry Ford, and invested the money in a variety of businesses, allowing him to retire from business shortly before age 40.
  • House Rules for Public Housing

    House Rules for Public Housing

    House Rules for Public Housing The House Rules (“Rules”) of the City of Chandler Housing and Redevelopment Division (the “City’s Housing Office”) are incorporated into the Lease by reference. Tenants agree to comply with the Rules, Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) and Lease. These Rules are reasonably related to the safety, care and cleanliness of the building, and the safety, comfort and convenience of the tenants. Failure to comply may lead to lease termination.

B) City’s Housing staff and representatives/designees of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) will inspect each unit at least annually to determine compliance with Uniform Physical Conditions Standards (“UPCS”). Upon completion of an inspection, Housing staff will inform the tenant the specific correction(s) required for unit compliance. If the first inspection finds areas of non-compliance, Housing staff will inform the tenant that training is available if needed for compliance. Housing staff will schedule a second inspection within a reasonable period of time. Failure of a second inspection constitutes a serious violation of the Lease. Housing staff has the right to inspect as many times as it deems necessary, with appropriate notice to the tenant. II) TENANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES: A) The tenant is required to abide by these Rules.

    Housing, Home, and Health NARRATIVES and HEALTH EQUITY: EXPANDING the CONVERSATION

    Housing, home, and health NARRATIVES AND HEALTH EQUITY: EXPANDING THE CONVERSATION A home creates a place where a person can thrive, in the context of a loving family and a welcoming community. For example, housing stability is essential for the well-being of children, the physical condition of homes and the condition of neighborhoods have a direct impact on health, and stable housing helps create social cohesion. The emerging narrative on housing, home, and health helps convey important information about the many ways a place to call home connects to health. Who deserves a place to call home? 1. “Home” is a basic need of every person and every family. 2. Everyone deserves a place to call home, a place to be safe and welcomed, to grow, and to thrive. Everyone deserves a safe, stable home in which to care for one another and provide a place for healing and health. 3. “Place” includes not just “a roof over our heads” but our entire community—to belong includes belonging in a community. a. Healthy communities are places that are welcoming, safe, appealing, and have places to call home for every family. b. When communities thrive, the individual and families in the community are healthier. c. For health equity to be possible, all people and populations need to have access to safe and stable homes in welcoming and thriving communities. Why are homes important for the health of people? 4. A home creates a sense of place. Without a sense of place and belonging, it is impossible to be healthy and to thrive as a human person.

  • Arthur Ernest Morgan and the Moraine Park School, 1916-1927

    Arthur Ernest Morgan and the Moraine Park School, 1916-1927

    Arthur Ernest Morgan and the Moraine Park School, 1916-1927 Joseph Watras Beginning in 1916, Arthur E. Morgan, an engineer, and several business leaders in Dayton, Ohio created the Moraine Park School to allow students to engage in small business enterprises so they could learn how to apply academic subject matter, to be practical, to maintain industrious- ness, and to become socially responsible. With few variations, Morgan ap- plied this curriculum in schools he built as part of his efforts for labor reform while he constructed dams in Dayton. Educational reformers such as Stanwood Cobb pointed to the Mo- raine Park School as one of the first, most important progressive schools.1 Although the schools that joined the Progressive Education Association followed widely different curriculums, the founders of these schools shared concern for students’ full and free development.2 Even among these in- novative schools, Moraine Park School was unique in that the teachers helped the students start their own small businesses. The hope was that the students would increase their understanding of democracy, refine their moral qualities, and improve their entrepreneurial skills by engaging in their own profit making activities. Although this paper focuses on Morgan’s connection with Moraine Park School, this relationship was brief. In 1921, Morgan moved from Day- ton to Yellow Springs, Ohio to become president of Antioch College. About twelve years later, in 1933, he resigned the presidency of Antioch College to become chairperson of the board and chief engineer the Tennessee Val- ley Authority. He did not remain with the TVA for long.

    Chapter 3: Eligibility for Assistance and Occupancy 4350.3 REV-1

    4350.3 REV-1 CHAPTER 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE AND OCCUPANCY 3-1 Introduction A. This chapter discusses the requirements and procedures for determining whether applicant families may participate in HUD-subsidized multifamily housing programs. Described in this chapter are steps an owner must follow to determine whether a family is eligible to receive assistance in a HUD-subsidized multifamily property and eligible to live in a specific property and unit. These activities are described in a sequential order; however, owners may deviate from this sequence based on project circumstances as long as they determine an applicant’s eligibility before admitting the family to the property. 1. While this chapter provides the rules for eligibility, the processes for developing and maintaining a waiting list and correctly selecting an applicant for the next available unit are addressed in Chapter 4, Sections 3 and 4. Determining and verifying annual income, which is an eligibility requirement, is addressed in Chapter 5. 2. Subsequent chapters in the handbook address activities that occur once an owner determines that a family is eligible for tenancy, such as leasing, recertification, terminations, billing, and reporting. B. This chapter is divided into three sections, each of which identifies the variations in eligibility requirements based upon type of subsidy. The three sections are as follows: • Section 1: Program Eligibility, which describes the criteria by which the owner must determine whether a family is eligible to receive assistance; • Section 2: Project Eligibility, which describes the criteria by which the owner must determine whether a family is eligible to reside in a specific property (e.g., project eligibility limited to a specific population, unit size, and occupancy standards); and • Section 3: Verification of Eligibility Factors, which describes how the owner should collect information to document family composition, disability status, social security numbers, and other factors affecting eligibility for assistance.
  • Is Homelessness a Housing Problem?

    Is Homelessness a Housing Problem?

    Housing Policy Debate • Volume 2, Issue 3 937 Is Homelessness a Housing Problem? James D. Wright and Beth A. Rubin Tulane University Abstract Homeless people have been found to exhibit high levels of personal disability (men- tal illness, substance abuse), extreme degrees of social estrangement, and deep poverty. Each of these conditions poses unique housing problems, which are dis- cussed here. In the 1980s, the number of poor people has increased and the supply of low-income housing has dwindled; these trends provide the background against which the homelessness problem has unfolded. Homelessness is indeed a housing problem, first and foremost, but the characteristics of the homeless are such as to make their housing problems atypical. Introduction The question of whether homelessness is a housing problem is per- haps best approached by asking, If homelessness is not a housing problem, then what kind of problem might it be? Most agree that the number of homeless people in the cities increased significantly in the 1980s. Was there any corresponding decline in the availabil- ity of low-cost housing? What besides a dwindling low-income hous- ing supply would account for the trend? Even if one concludes that homelessness is not just a housing problem, there seems to be little doubt that inadequate low-cost housing must have something to do with the problem, and it is useful to ask just what that “something” is. Superficially, the answer to our question is both clearly yes and obviously no. Homeless people, by definition, lack acceptable, cus- tomary housing and must sleep in the streets, double up with friends and family, or avail themselves of temporary overnight shel- ter.
