The 79 grants, totaling $9.8 million, will support permanent, temporary and traveling exhibitions, as well as publications, lecture series and other activities at 68 institutions nationwide. [NEH has awarded one or more grants in your area. Please see the enclosed list.] "These awards will help museum visitors in large and small communities across the country to learn more about our cultural heritage, as well as the art, literature and culture of other nations," said NEH Chairman Lynne V. Cheney in announcing the grants. For example, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has been offered $350,000 in outright and matching grants for an exhibition and related programs on how American artists were influenced by Italian culture between 1760 and 1914. In another cross-cultural project, the Children's Museum of Boston will receive $275,000 to launch an exhibition and educational programs contrasting youth and popular culture in Japan and the United States. -OVER- NEH News - Museums Grants Jan. 16, 1991 Page 2 The Detroit Historical Society will use a grant of $80,000 to plan an exhibition on the development of the automobile industry and its effects on the people of Detroit, while the University of California, Berkeley, will receive $50,000 to plan a traveling exhibition, catalog and related programs on the colonization of the California frontier. Duke University in Durham, N.C., will use a grant of $49,988 to plan an exhibition, a catalog and public programs on pre-Columbian Maya painted pottery, and the University of Texas, Austin, has been awarded $50,000 to plan a traveling exhibition and publication on the social and cultural significance of Mexican folk toys. Several awards will enable institutions to document their collections or to undertake "self-study" projects aimed at improving humanities programming related to the display and interpretation of collections. For example, the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C., which operates several historic sites across the country, has received $16,207 to study interpretive programs at Lyndhurst, an historic house on the Hudson River, as well as a grant of $21,324 to enrich humanities programs at Shadows-on-the-Teche, a Louisiana plantation. The Chicago Architecture Foundation will receive $40,859 to document the collections of the Glessner House, which was designed in 1887 by American architect H.H. Richardson. The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent federal agency that supports education, research, preservation and public programs in the humanities. # # # NEH-91-001-L NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES Grants to Museums and Historical Organizations January 1991 ARIZONA Phoenix: Phoenix Art Museum APPROVED OUTRIGHT $150,000.00 Phoenix, AZ 85004 PROJECT DIRECTOR: Claudia G.

  • Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine
    SUMMER 2011 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine The IMPACT Campaign: Your Chance to Make a Difference for the Law School INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean As I comPLete my fouRth yeAR As DeAn, I am struck by what a marvelous law school we have, how far it has come in its brief history with a full-time day program, and the tremendous impact it and its more than 10,000 alumni have on Indiana and beyond. We should all be extremely proud. At the same time, however, I am also struck by the fact that as good as the school is, there is still much we need to do to make it the very best it can be. for this reason, we are embarking on an ambitious capital campaign, the success of which is vital to the school’s ability, in an increasingly competitive environment, to continue producing great lawyers, judges, and leaders. this issue of the magazine focuses on this campaign and, consistent with our recently adopted strategic plan, on the areas in which resources raised will be invested—faculty, student scholarships, nationally prominent programs and skills training/experiential learning. While the school is generally ranked highly among all u.s. law schools, its funding is near the bottom. our direct expenditures per student last year ranked 141st out of 198 and our financial aid per student budget was in the bottom quartile. our resources are by far the lowest of all Big ten law schools. If we can provide an excellent education for students with this small amount of funding, consider what we could do if we had sufficient dollars to do what most other law schools can do already—such as fund endowed faculty chairs, or offer core classes with fewer than 100 students in the classroom.

  • Of Pi Beta Phi Winter- 1997 Pi Beta Phi Is Heavily Dependent on Dues and Fees from Members for General Operations
    of Pi Beta Phi Winter- 1997 Pi Beta Phi is heavily dependent on dues and fees from members for general operations. More than 40 percent of our $3 million-plus annual budget comes from dues and fees. Much of the other revenue is restricted for particular uses or for reimbursements or repurchases. It is unavailable for gener­ al operations. Pi Phi has been granted tax-exempt status under Section SOl(c)(7) of the tax code, which means that income from investments and other non-member sources may be used only for educational or philanthropic purposes. Only a portion of our activities and programming qualify under the rather strict IRS guidelines for funding from these sources. For example, no expenses associated with the publi­ cation and distribution of The ARROW may be paid for with income from investments. Pi Beta Phi's annual budgets are relatively modest in rela­ tion to the scope of our activities, programs and membership Pi Beta Phi's Financial Health services.

  • First Ladies As Political Women
    ABSTRACT Title of Disserta tion: FIRST LADIES AS POLITICAL WOMEN: PRESS FRAMING OF PRESIDENTIAL WIVES, 1900 – 2001 Lisa M. Burns, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Shawn J. Parry -Giles Department of Communication University of Maryland This project contends that press framing of the U.S. first lady institution throughout the twentieth century positioned presidential wives as important public women who were presented as models of American womanhood. An analysis of the print news coverage reveals that the first lady institution serves as a site of ideological contestation over women’s public and political roles, reflecting the intersection of gender, publicity, and power at particular historical mome nts. The press practice of gendered framing draws on often competing ideologies of American womanhood, and in doing so shapes the content of news narratives. The subjects of the stories often become representatives of social gender norms. I call this pract ice personification framing, which is the positioning of a well -known individual as the embodiment of a particular ideology. A personification frame serves as an ideological short cut used by journalists to simplify, in the case of first ladies, the comple xities of gender role performance, making such discussions easier to insert into the limited space of a single news story .
