WILLIAM SUMMERS ONEOF THE MOST persistent and perplexing problems of recent years has been the governance of the large and complex social organizations which have developed to provide the goods and services demanded by an expanding society. Much attention has been focused on the design of organizational forms which might avoid some of the disad- vantages of the traditional military/industrial (hierarchical) models. An almost equal amount of attention has been devolted to examining the na- ture of individual behavior in complex organizations (the behaviorist approach). Underlying these investigations and explorations has been a series of myths which are themselves largely untested and unverified.

  • Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions and Funds: a Growing Tradition
    Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions and Funds: A Growing Tradition 1 About this book This book is about our wonderful Zoo donors who have established endowed funds and positions at the Saint Louis Zoo. Most importantly, it tells their stories. Stories about people who worked hard, built successful businesses in St. Louis, and wanted to give something back to their community. Stories about people who lived simply and quietly, and gave generous and unexpected gifts. People who made our city and our Zoo what it is today and whose vision will live on tomorrow. As author Alexander McCall Smith wrote, “A life without stories would be no life at all. And stories bound us, did they not, one to another, the living to the dead, people to animals, people to the land.” I am inspired by each of the stories in this book. Some are about people and names who might be familiar, some are less known. But I am struck by how each of these donors was touched by the Zoo at some point in his or her life and how each was inspired to make an investment in our future. As an anthropologist, I have studied landmark learning experiences, those “aha” moments when a spark is ignited and we are inspired to learn more, or a light bulb goes on, and we get it. We have seen something amazing, and we want to know more. For many, a visit to the Saint Louis Zoo is the first encounter with a wild animal. It is something memorable and wonderful, and that has not changed in more than 100 years.

  • 150Th Anniversary Edition a MAGAZINE for MEMBERS of LINCOLN PARK ZOO PERSPECTIVE
    SUMMER 2018 150th Anniversary Edition A MAGAZINE FOR MEMBERS OF LINCOLN PARK ZOO PERSPECTIVE Soaring to New Heights I’ve been surrounded by great zoo people all my life. My father was an ornithologist. We lived at the Bronx Zoo, where I grew up with keepers and animals. In 1976 I joined Lincoln Park Zoo as curator of birds (pictured, left) under the supervision of Dr. Lester Fisher, one of the best zoo people I have ever known. Now, as Lincoln Park Zoo cele- brates our 150th anniversary, I am proud and grateful to be part of a great zoo commu- nity. Our staff, volunteers, members, partners, and supporters keep this institution free and open 365 days a year so locals and global visitors alike can connect to nature in the heart of Chicago. Planning our anniversary has brought back many fond memories; it has also encour- aged us to reflect on our evolution and future. We’ve come a long way. Our zoo began in 1868, when commissioners of New York’s Central Park gave Lincoln Park a gift of two pairs of swans. As was the culture of the time, we spent our early years as a menagerie showcasing a multitude of exotic species. Around 1950, we began to shift from focusing on quantity of animals to quality of life. Dr. Fisher built new facilities that reflected the animals’ natural habitats. He instituted regular preventive veterinary medicine. He set a foundation for the zoo to grow as a place that serves animals as well as people, and strives to conserve species in the wild.
