  • Pierre L'enfant and Benjamin Banneker
    www.amatterofmind.us From the desk of Pierre Beaudry Page 1 of 23 PIERRE L’ENFANT AND BENJAMIN BANNEKER: THE MANIFEST DESTINY OF WASHINGTON D.C. by Pierre Beaudry, January 5, 2001 INTRODUCTION: THE GRAND DESIGN OF MANIFEST DESTINY Some people said that the design for the city of Washington D.C. came from the heavens, that Pierre L’Enfant determined the location of the House of Congress, and the House of the President, in accordance with the stars, and that such an orientation was in concordance with the design of the MANIFEST DESTINY, which had inspired George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton. This is all true. Pierre L’Enfant, Andrew Ellicott, and Benjamin Banneker, reached to the heavens for their inalienable rights, and executed these Great Federal Improvements by means of which the Capital City of the United States was made to become, in the small, the historical microcosm of the nation as a whole. This report, will attempt to revive the sublime character of this enterprise, imposing by the greatness of its heroic effort, and yet humbling by the goodness and simplicity of its purpose. In all events, it is clear that Washington DC, was meant to become the first Capital city of the world, whose explicit function was to express the true measure of what can be accomplished with the genius of a people who is persistent in the fight for the freedom of all peoples, on the shores of America, as anywhere else in the world. There is no doubt that such a design required to be secured within the borders of history, and immortalized, for all centuries to come, by the creation, on this continent, of an entirely new city to be built, from the ground up; a city of “magnificent distances”, that would reflect, in spiritual and physical space-time, an old and revolutionary idea that could not be implemented on the old continent.

  • 2017 Best Practice Sharing by Officer Role Taken Directly from the FY2017 Class Activity Report: Fellow Officers Share Their Thoughts
    2017 Best Practice Sharing by Officer Role Taken directly from the FY2017 Class Activity Report: Fellow officers share their thoughts CAR – Best Practices Report – FY2017 Class Presidents Class of 1946 We are looking for other Class activities. Class of 1954 1. Under chairmanship of Steven Mullins, we formed a three man committee to reinstate the Class of 1954 Award to honor classmates who might have been overlooked under the previous program. (More than 60 Awards were presented under that program). The committee met once in person and many times over the phone and by email. We have identified up to a half dozen possible deserving candidates. One award was presented at the annual Class holiday luncheon in New York in December 2016 to Wayne Weil. We anticipate the presentation of at least two awards during 2017. 2. We have created an internship endowment chaired by Don Berlin currently valued at over $165,000 to continue annual funding of student internships into the future with a goal of at least $300,000 by our 65th Reunion. 3. We have created a Widows Program under the guidance Sue Bastian (widow of Bryce Bastian D'54) to initiate and sustain communications with class widows and to encourage participation in class activities. Class of 1955 • We conducted successfully a class survey to assess “connected” to the class/college. Conclusion: Most feel connected especially through the NL, DAM, and DAM class notes. Also noted instances of connection reduced by health and mobility concerns due to age restricting travel Class of 1957 We have developed several funds over the years, including a Travel Fund at the HOP, an Erich Kunzel Fund with the Music Department, and our legacy fund, the Class of 1957 Fund for Great Issues Innovations at the Dickey Center.
