We can be proud of the achievements and the competitiveness of our entering class, and I have no doubt that their admirable test scores, class ranks, and high school grade point averages will show their real meaning for us in the energy, intelligence, and dedication with which our new students approach their academic work and their community lives in the College. I have already received many reports from colleagues teaching first-year humanities general education sections about how bright, dedicated, and energetic our newest students are. To the extent that we can continue to recruit these kinds of superb students, the longer-term future of the College is bright indeed. We can also be very proud of our most recent graduating class.

  • The Newberry Annual Report 2016 – 17
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2016 – 17 Letter from the Chair and the President hat a big and exciting year the Newberry had in 2016-17! As Wan institution, we have been very much on the move, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff we are delighted to offer you this summary of the destinations we reached last year and our plans for moving forward in 2017-18. Financially, the Newberry enjoyed much success in the past year. Excellent performance by the institution’s investments, up 13.2 percent overall, put us well ahead of the performance of such bellwether endowments as those of Harvard and Yale. Our drawdown on investments for operating expenses was a modest 3.8 percent, well Chair of the Board of Trustees Victoria J. Herget and below the traditional target of 5.0 percent. In fact, of total operating Newberry President David Spadafora expenses only 22.9 percent had to be funded through spending from the endowment—a reduction by more than half of our level of reliance on endowment a decade ago. Partly this change has resulted from improvement in Annual Fund giving: in 2016-17 we achieved the greatest-ever single- year tally of new gifts for unrestricted operating expenses, $1.75 million, some 42 percent higher than just before the economic crisis 10 years ago. Funding for restricted purposes also grew last year, with generous gifts from foundations and individuals for specific programs and projects. Partly, too, our good financial results are owing to continued judicious control of expenses, exemplified by the fact that total staffing levels were 2.7 percent lower in 2016-17 than in 2006-07.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • The Frames and Depictions of Transgender Athletes in Sports Illustrated
    THESIS DECOLONIZING TRANSNESS IN SPORT MEDIA: THE FRAMES AND DEPICTIONS OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Submitted By Tammy Rae Matthews Department of Journalism and Media Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Catherine Knight Steele Co-Advisor: Kris Kodrich Joseph Champ Caridad Souza Copyright by Tammy Rae Matthews 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DECOLONIZING TRANSNESS IN SPORT MEDIA: THE FRAMES AND DEPICTIONS OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED This discourse analysis examines depictions of trans athletes in Sports Illustrated and sport culture through the lens of queer theory and the interpretive-packages model proposed by Gamson and Modigliani (1989). Four interpretive packages emerged from the print content: (1) Marginalization, (2) Labeling, (3) Fighting and Fairness and (4) Pride and Affirmation. The results illustrate that discourse has generally become more sensitive to trans issues. The author presents these results with cautious optimism. Blindingly affirming and romancing the transgender can be equally as superficial as marginalization, and representations of trans athletes secured by one person are problematic. Researchers and sport organizations should dismantle antiquated, coercive sex segregation in traditional sport and decolonize how it contributes to gender-based oppression. The author recommends that media outlets focus on presenting fair, accurate and

  • Life for the Mind Ii: an Internal Study of On-Campus Student Mental Health at the University of Chicago
    LIFE FOR THE MIND II: AN INTERNAL STUDY OF ON-CAMPUS STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO P. KUMAR, A. GALLO, J. XU, N. MCDONALD, A. JOVEL Abstract. The majority of students who completed the University of Chicago Undergraduate Mental Health Climate Survey in the 2019-2020 academic year had a negative perception of both mental health services and the University's response to mental health crises. This report seeks to describe the current state of mental health for undergraduate students, using the results of our climate survey, interviews with undergraduate students who fall into different demographics of age, race, gender, sexuality, as well as stakeholders like the University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD) to answer the question of whether the University of Chicago (UChicago) is currently treating mental health for undergraduate students adequately. We have created a list of pol- icy recommendations based on our research focusing on the mobilization of resources to better reach students, optimization of existing treatments by the Student Counseling Service (SCS) to best serve students on campus, and im- proving communication between various UChicago offices in regards to mental health policies.

  • The Power of Place: Structure, Culture, and Continuities in U.S. Women's Movements
    The Power of Place: Structure, Culture, and Continuities in U.S. Women's Movements By Laura K. Nelson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kim Voss, Chair Professor Raka Ray Professor Robin Einhorn Fall 2014 Copyright 2014 by Laura K. Nelson 1 Abstract The Power of Place: Structure, Culture, and Continuities in U.S. Women's Movements by Laura K. Nelson Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Kim Voss, Chair This dissertation challenges the widely accepted historical accounts of women's movements in the United States. Second-wave feminism, claim historians, was unique because of its development of radical feminism, defined by its insistence on changing consciousness, its focus on women being oppressed as a sex-class, and its efforts to emphasize the political nature of personal problems. I show that these features of second-wave radical feminism were not in fact unique but existed in almost identical forms during the first wave. Moreover, within each wave of feminism there were debates about the best way to fight women's oppression. As radical feminists were arguing that men as a sex-class oppress women as a sex-class, other feminists were claiming that the social system, not men, is to blame. This debate existed in both the first and second waves. Importantly, in both the first and the second wave there was a geographical dimension to these debates: women and organizations in Chicago argued that the social system was to blame while women and organizations in New York City argued that men were to blame.

Because that's what half of America is writing about. Take a hint from Emory University, whose “Why Us?” prompt used to read: Many students decide to apply to Emory University based on our size, location, reputation, and yes, the weather. Besides these valid reasons as a possible college choice, why is Emory University a particularly good match for you? Why do you think the school says not to write about those things? Because their admissions readers are tired of reading about those things. In fact, here's what to do after you've written your first draft: go back through your essay and underline anything that sounds like it could have appeared in another student's essay.

  • “The Evolution of the Chicago School of Economics: Fourth Estate
    From The Collected Works of Milton Friedman, compiled and edited by Robert Leeson and Charles G. Palm. “Interview: The Evolution of the Chicago School of Economics” by Milton Friedman Fourth Estate Interview, Part 1, The Chicago Maroon, 3 April 1992 © The Chicago Maroon You returned to Chicago for the Centennial celebration last fall and for George Stigler’s memorial service last month. What kind of ties do you still have with the University? My only remaining ties are personal—good friends on the faculty and staff. Like many people, I am a professor emeritus, but I have no role at the University. What was the Hyde Park like during your tenure? Was there an informal gathering place where campus intellectuals gathered? Hyde Park was literally under siege during this period before and during the massive urban redevelopment program. There was a tavern on 55th street where many economics students and faculty used to gather, but it was long gone by the time I arrived. Most informal contact was in people’s homes and apartments. After finishing your master’s degree at Chicago, you held several positions with the government during the New Deal. Did these experiences help shape your views on government? Before World War II, post-graduate education was very different. There was little university financial support, and it was rare for students to continue straight through the program. After finishing coursework, most people wrote their dissertations while working elsewhere. After finishing at the U of C in 1935, I took a WPA-style job as a technical statistician.
