  • Writing Home from Around the World, 1926–1927
    Writing Home from Around the World, 1926–1927 A keen and amused observer, Tom Johnson is an articulate and conscien- tious letter writer. The reader has the feeling he was writing for himself as much as his family as he makes sentences and paragraphs of his impressions of the world at the height of colonialism. By THOMAS H. JOHNSON Edited with an introduction by LAURA JOHNSON WATERMAN y father, Thomas H. Johnson, the writer of these letters, was born in 1902 on the Connecticut River Valley farm known as Stone Cliff, located one mile north of the vil- Mlage of Bradford. In 1926, upon his graduation from Williams College, Tom Johnson embarked on a world cruise that was to last the length of a school year—September to May. He had been invited to teach Eliza- bethan Drama and American Literature (subjects he soon found to be not particularly relevant) on the fi rst ever student travel experiment. This was launched on a large scale with over fi fty faculty and four hun- dred and fi fty students, one hundred and twenty of them women. A. J. McIntosh, president of the University Travel Association, saw this as an opportunity to combine formal education with travel, and orga- nized the adventure by reaching out to colleges across the country. The project became known as the Floating University and was considered . LAURA JOHNSON WATERMAN is the author of Losing the Garden (2005), a memoir of thirty years of homesteading in East Corinth, Vermont. She co-authored with her late husband, Guy Waterman, fi ve books on the history of climbing the moun- tains of the Northeast and related environmental issues, among them, Forest and Crag (1989), Backwoods Ethics (1993), and Wilderness Ethics (1993).

  • The Skyscraper of the 1920S
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y IN OMMENTARY HE WENTIES T T C * THE SKYSCRAPER In the American self-image of the 1920s, the icon of modern was the modern city, the icon of the modern city was New York City, and the icon of New York City was the skyscraper. Love it or hate it, the skyscraper symbolized the go-go and up-up drive that “America” meant to itself and much of the world. A sampling of twenties illustration and commentary on the architectural phenomenon that still captures the American imagination is presented here.

Duffus was a novelist, literary critic, and essayist with New York newspapers. “The Vertical City” The New Republic One of the intangible satisfactions which a New Yorker receives as a reward July 3, 1929 for living in a most uncomfortable city arises from the monumental character of his artificial scenery. Skyscrapers are undoubtedly popular with the man of the street. He watches them with tender, if somewhat fearsome, interest from the moment the hole is dug until the last Gothic waterspout is put in place. Perhaps the nearest a New Yorker ever comes to civic pride is when he contemplates the skyline and realizes that there is and has been nothing to match it in the world.
