WSU University Relations Division Records
University Relations Division Collection Papers, 1936-1977 (predominantly, 1949-1977) 64.5 linear feet Accession # 5 OCLC # DALNET # The papers of the University Relations Division reflect the activities of Wayne’s public relations offices. They consist of press releases, photographs, correspondence, minutes, reports, and clippings. The papers focus on general subjects, including the promotion of the United States Bicentennial, Wayne's Centennial, the Michigan Legislature's allocation and Wayne's budget, and Wayne's athletics program. The Division underwent several name changes to more accurately reflect its services. In the 1940s it was called the Community Relations Program and aimed to establish a working relationship between the University and any group or individual within the community with the intent of selling the University as a service institution to the community. In August of 1949, all University activities and programs related to public communication and interpretation of the University’s work were integrated to form the Division of Community Relations under the direction of Percival Dodge. The new division included the Office of Press Relations, Wayne University Speakers’ Bureau, and the Office of Community Services. William E. Stirton replaced Dodge as the director on July 1, 1952. Frank X. Tuohey replaced Stirton in October of 1955. The Office of Press Relations and Publication Services, under Tuohey’s direction, assisted all units of the University in internal and external relations projects. The office was divided into art, printing, publications, and press relations. The primary function of the Office of Press Relations was to interpret the University to the community through all available media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television. -
For Immediate Release Dso Celebrates Conclusion of Orchestra Hall Centennial with Unveiling of Artist Ken Aptekar's I Hear An
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DSO CELEBRATES CONCLUSION OF ORCHESTRA HALL CENTENNIAL WITH UNVEILING OF ARTIST KEN APTEKAR’S I HEAR AN ECHO Commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons, painting will remain on display in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center Detroit, (October 26, 2020) – On Friday, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) unveiled a new work by celebrated artist Ken Aptekar titled I hear an echo (2020). The painting, which references Orchestra Hall’s opening in 1919 and DSO’s then-music director Ossip Gabrilowitsch, was commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner as a tribute to the Orchestra Hall centennial and in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. The unveiling ceremony took place on Orchestra Hall’s 101st birthday, Friday, October 23 at 6:30 p.m. for a small number of socially distanced guests in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center (The Max), where the painting will remain on display and viewable through the DSO’s front doors on Woodward Avenue. This partnership exemplifies the DSO’s collaborative spirit and shared vision for combining and supporting arts, artists, and culture of all kinds at The Max. The ceremony also featured a performance by DSO Acting Concertmaster Kimberly Kaloyanides Kennedy. Born and raised in Detroit, Aptekar is the son of art and music educators and credits the DSO and the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) as “keys to who [he] became as an artist.” He grew up attending DSO concerts at the orchestra’s then home of Ford Auditorium under music director Paul Paray, but heard DSO recordings from Orchestra Hall and longed to experience the outstanding acoustics firsthand. -

Best Theaters in Detroit"
"Best Theaters in Detroit" Erstellt von : Cityseeker 7 Vorgemerkte Orte Detroit Opera House "Restored to Grandeur" Restored to its former splendor, the Detroit Opera House is a downtown landmark that finds itself right in the middle of the action, bordered by the Theatre District, Comerica Park and Greektown. The superb acoustics in the hall provide a prime venue for the Michigan Opera Theatre and for a variety of other performing arts productions, including plays, concerts and by Bnosnhoj dance performances. In days gone by, it was a theater, concert and movie house, the fifth-largest in the world when it opened in 1922. The frescoes, marble stairways, draperies and chandeliers from its glory days have been restored. The Opera House reopened in 1996 with a performance by Luciano Pavarotti. +1 313 237 7464 www.michiganopera.org/ 1526 Broadway Street, Detroit MI Fox Theatre "Unequalled Treasure of Wretched Excess" The preservation of this theater is one of Detroit's proudest achievements.

The oldest, continually operating theater in the United States features a 10-storey by IAN RANSLEY DESIGN + marquee, a six-storey lobby with a two-ton chandelier and 300,000 glass ILLUSTRATION jewels in its interior. The exotic presentation of lions, gold fixtures and jaw- dropping grandeur harkens back to the flamboyant era of movie houses.

Grand Boulevard you are as ready as I am to get back to our previous lives. Last year at this time, the thought that more Detroit, MI 48208 than a year later we would still be wearing masks, social distancing, and debating further lock downs 313-831-2787 seemed impossible. But, here we are. Thank goodness for the vaccines and the promise they hold. Hopefully, a year from now, we will talk about these times as history and lessons learned. On behalf of Crossroads East @ Salem Crossroads, I can safely say that we have learned many lessons during the past twelve plus months, not 21230 Moross Road, the least of which is that when life hands us lemons, we shouldn’t only make lemonade, but we need to Detroit, MI 48236 share it with everyone we know, in any way we can.

Now, as I look back, I see that this challenge has helped us to grow and prove 313-822-4441 that no matter what difficulties come our way, this agency, our mission, our staff, and our supporters will stand strong. -

Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources. - From the National Register of Historic Places site: http://www.nps.gov/nr/about.htm The Multiple Property Submission (MPS) listings records are unique in that they capture historic properties that are related by theme, general geographic area, and/or period of time. The MPS is the current terminology for submissions of this kind; past iterations include Thematic Resource (TR) and Multiple Resource Area (MRA). Historic properties nominated under the MPS rubric will contain individualized nomination forms and will be linked by a Cover Sheet for the overall group. Historic properties nominated under the TR and MRA rubric are nominated as part of the whole group and will contain portions of nominations that come directly from the group Cover Sheet.
