We welcome you to the Second Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities. This event offers a rare opportunity for academics, artists, performers and other professionals from around the world to share their broad array of perspectives. True to its primary goal, this conference provides those with cross-disciplinary interests related to arts and humanities to meet and interact with others inside and outside their own discipline. The international attendees to this conference bring a variety of viewpoints shaped by different cultures, languages, geography and politics. This diversity is also captured in the Hawaii International Conference’s unique cross-disciplinary approach. The resulting interaction energizes research as well as vocation. With Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and the vast South Pacific as the backdrop, this venue is an important dimension of this conference. For centuries a stopping place of explorers, Hawaii has historically been enriched by the blend of ideas that have crossed our shores. The Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities continues this tradition in the nurturing spirit of Aloha. Along with its ideal weather and striking beauty, the Hawaiian Islands provide natural elements to inspire learning and dialogue. The 2003 conference was a great success.

A few words of description will inform the reader of what has been placed below the surface of the site to support the enormous weight of the building when that is completed. From the records in the possession of Alderman Francis W. Taylor, Chairman of the City Hall building Committee, it appears that the wrecking of the old City Hall was commenced on August 11, 1908, and that work on the new foundations was begun on January 4, 1909.

  • East Albany Park and Ravenswood Manor
    East Albany Park and Ravenswood Manor The Walk: This walk takes you to the very eastern part of Albany Park and even spills slightly over the border into North Park and Ravenswood. The western part of Albany Park is home to North Mayfair, another historic district, and will be the focus of another walk. East Albany Park and Ravenswood Manor German and Swedish immigrants initially settled the Albany Park area. After 1912, the area became home to a large number of Russian Jews and remained predominately Jewish through the 1950s. After the Second World War, many Jewish families moved north to Lincolnwood and Skokie. The suburban exodus led Albany Park into economic and social decline. In the 1970s, 70% of the commercial property along Lawrence Avenue stood vacant. Empty buildings attracted illegal drug trade, prostitution and gangs. Relief came in 1978 when the city government, the North River Commission and the Lawrence Avenue Development Corporation cooperated to improve Albany Park’s appearance and business development. After the 1970s , Albany Park became a port of entry for immigrants from Asia and Latin America and today it is one of the most ethnically diverse zipcodes in the United States. Over 40 languages are spoken in its public schools. (from Encyclopedia of Chicago and Wikipedia) Main Walk (marked in red dots on the map) 1.River Park 5100 N. Francisco Ave. Chicago architect Clarence Hatzfeld designed the impressive brick fieldhouse with a three-story central section and a long wing on either end. It was constructed in 1929 to replace the original structure.

  • Chapter 2 the Building Years Continue
    Chapter 2 The Building Years Continue Planning for a new church building involved organization, effort, and the sacrifice of the whole parish family. In the fall of 1895, Rev. P. Ulric Petri, O.F.M., Pastor, canvassed the entire parish to solicit subscriptions. He found the majority favoring the building of a new church and willing to contribute according to their means. It was found that within three years, the congregation would have on hand $7,000. In 1896, “St. Joseph’s Parish Building Society” was organized with a membership of 28. The building committee included: Rev. P. Ulric Petri, O.F.M., Simon Hirner, B. Hermesmeyer, Clement Kroeger, and Dr. J. J. Nelson. The Society held a meeting the third Sunday of each month. It was decided that each member of the parish should pay twenty-five cents monthly. Fund raisers were undertaken in order to raise money to construct a new church. The church continued to grow. In an 1897 census the parish consisted of 77 families with 364 members in all. There were 66 males between the ages of 21-52 that owned their own houses. 56 members contributed to the support of the church, and 36 children were enrolled in the parochial school. In 1898 when Archbishop Kain came to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation, he congratulated the parish upon the progress made in raising funds and expressed his wish to soon see the new structure. The Venerable Brothers Adrian Wewer and Leonard Darscheid, O.F.M. designed the plans for the new church in 1898.
