Cover, Sept. The cover picture of this issue is a lithograph of the British attack on Fort McHenry. (see p. 211) The artist is unknown except by the initials E. S. It is a striking picture but highly inaccurate judging from the recent research of National Park Service historians. For example, the Fort is pictured as almost rectangular when it was in 1814, as it is now, a pentagonal structure. The type of buildings shown within the Fort also was not present in 1814. The battery at Lazaretto Point, with the chain boom and sunken hulks blocking the mouth of the harbor, is not shown. But for all of its inaccuracies, the picture is important, as it represents one of many artists' conceptions of the Defense of Fort McHenry. Its valiant stand is a symbol of the courage of Marylanders and other Americans in the War of 1812. Surprize Capturing the Star, Jan. 27, 1815, Cover, Dec.

  • American City Flags, Part 1
    Akron, Ohio 1 Akron, Ohio Population Rank: U.S..... # 81 Ohio...... # 5 Proportions: 3:5 (usage) Adopted: March 1996 (official) DESIGN: Akron’s flag has a white field with the city seal in the center. The seal features an American shield, which recalls the design of the All-America City program’s shield, awarded to cities meeting the pro- gram criteria. Akron’s shield is divided roughly into thirds horizontally. At the top of the shield are two rows of five white five-pointed stars on a dark blue field. In the center section is AKRON in black on white. The lower third displays six red and five white vertical stripes. Around the shield and the white field on which it rests is a dark blue ring on which 1981-ALL-AMERICA CITY-1995 curves clockwise above, and CITY OF INVENTION curves counterclockwise below, all in white. 2 American City Flags SYMBOLISM: Akron, having twice won the distinction of “All-America City” (in 1981 and 1995), has chosen to pattern its seal to commemo- rate that award. The ten stars represent the ten wards of the city. CITY OF INVENTION refers to Akron as home to the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame at Inventure Place, a museum of inventors and inven- tions. HOW SELECTED: Prepared by the mayor and his chief of staff. DESIGNER: Mayor Don Plusquellic and his chief of staff, Joel Bailey. FORMER FLAG: Akron’s former flag also places the city seal in the center of a white field. That former logo-type seal is oval, oriented horizontally.

  • 184 Maryland Historical Magazine Thomas Poppleton’S Map: Vignettes of a City’S Self Image
    184 Maryland Historical Magazine Thomas Poppleton’s Map: Vignettes of a City’s Self Image Jeremy Kargon ritten histories of Baltimore often refer to thePlan of the City of Baltimore, published originally in 1823. Typically but imprecisely credited to Thomas WPoppleton, this map illustrated the city plan he produced between 1816 and 1822. City politicians had commissioned a survey just before the War of 1812, but Poppleton began his work in earnest only after the conflict ended. Once adopted, the work determined the direction of Baltimore’s growth until well after the Civil War.1 Although this street layout significantly influenced the city’s nineteenth-cen- tury development, a second feature of this document has also attracted historians of the city’s architecture. The map’s publisher’s arranged thirty-five small engravings around the border of the map illustrating public buildings in use or under construc- tion at the time of the original publication. They gave each illustration a simple title and provided additional descriptive information about the building, including the architect’s name, the building’s date of completion, and the building’s cost. These pictures are a useful record of Baltimore’s earliest significant architecture, particu- larly for those buildings demolished before the age of photography. Historians’ treatments of these images, and of the map itself, have typically looked at these illustrations individually.2 Consideration of their ensemble, on the other hand, provides evidence for discussion of two broader themes, the public’s perception of architecture as a profession and as a source of shared material cul- ture, and the development of that same public’s civic identity as embodied in those buildings.

  • Monument Square & the Battle Monument.PDF
    National Park Service Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) U.S. Department of the Interior Built to Last No. 2 Monument Square & the Battle Monument (1805 & after, Maximilian Godefroy & others, architects) Excerpt from the full report written by Laurie Ossman, Ph.D., for HABS Originally known as “Courthouse Square,” Monument Square was the site of Baltimore’s first public buildings—a courthouse and jail, built in 1768. In 1805, the city erected a more substantial, brick courthouse on the site of the current courthouse (built 1894-1900), indicating that by the turn of the nineteenth century the square was firmly established as the functional center of civic life. The construc- tion of the Battle Monument in 1815-25 to commemorate the soldiers who had died in the Battle of North Point during the War of 1812 underscored the square’s importance as a symbol of civic identity and pride. The Battle Monument, together with the Washington Monument in nearby Mount Vernon Place, prompted President John Quincy Adams to refer to Baltimore in 1827 as “the monumental city.” Monument Square stands near the Monument Square & the Battle Monument, bird’s-eye view from the southeast.

    2017 UTEACH UTeach at 20 Celebrating success and envisioning the future We prepare teachers. They change the world. UTeach expands access to STEM education and improves STEM learning outcomes for all students by supporting a national network of universities and STEM educators committed to increasing the number of high-quality teachers and expanding access to inquiry-based curriculum. 20 years of innovation Since 1997, UTeach at The University of Texas at Austin has offered a unique pathway for STEM majors to earn their secondary teaching certification without adding additional time or cost to their degree. This innovative solution allows UTeach to produce secondary teachers with deep content knowledge and inquiry-based pedagogical strategies. Forty-five other universities in the U.S. have adopted the UTeach model since 2008. Together, we have produced 3,272 graduates. UTeach programs produce teachers at a lower cost than other leading programs, and our graduates stay in teaching longer, improve student performance in math and science, and influence students to enter STEM fields. The next 20 years We envision a future where every student develops an appreciation for the critical role that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics play in our everyday lives and in driving future progress and solving human problems. We envision a future where scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists reflect the diversity of the United States, where STEM fields welcome everyone regardless of background or circumstance, and where all students can see themselves reflected in the larger STEM community. We envision a future where all students have teachers who can spark inspiration and help them develop a passion for STEM subjects.

  • Guided Tour of Maryland's Military Monuments
    Guided Tour of Maryland's Military Monuments This reference is intended to serve as a gateway to the understanding of all the brave Marylanders who dedicated their lives to ensure our collective security, prosperity and well-being. Home to one of the largest populations of veterans in the country, Maryland has played a unique role in United States military history that extends to the earliest days of our nation's formation. According to historians, Maryland first became known as the "Old Line State" when General George Washington chose the name as a tribute to the bravery of the Maryland troops during the Revolutionary War. At considerable loss of life, the "Old Line" Maryland troops protected the retreat of the Continental Army during the Battle of Brooklyn. Their courageous efforts helped save the Continental Army from assured destruction by the numerically superior British troops. The monument erected to commemorate the sacrifice of those brave Marylanders is included here. Entrance, 5th Regiment Armory City of Baltimore, Maryland In 2001 the World War I Memorial entrance of the Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore was restored by the Maryland Department of General Services with assistance from the Maryland Military Monuments Commission. The bronze sculpture by Hans Schuler features portraits of men who served in the 29th Division. Paint was removed from the sculpture and the copper door. The metals were cleaned and repaired, and given a protective coating to prevent corrosion. Fifth Regiment Armory entrance before conservation treatment.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-80932-0 - The Pantheon: From Antiquity to the Present Edited by Tod A. Marder and Mark Wilson Jones Frontmatter More information THE PANTHEON The Pantheon is one of the most important architectural monuments of all time. Completed by Emperor Hadrian in approximately AD 125 on the site of its Augustan predecessor, it brilliantly displays the spatial pyrotechnics emblematic of Roman architecture and engineering. The Pantheon provides an up-to-date account of new research on this best preserved of all ancient buildings from the time of its construction to the twenty-fi rst century. Each chapter addresses a specifi c fundamental issue or period; together, the chap- ters shed light on essential aspects of the Pantheon’s creation and establish the importance of its checkered history for the understanding of its ancient fabric and heritage, its present state, and its special role in the reception of ancient architecture and the very image of modern Rome. Tod A. Marder is Distinguished Professor of Art History at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He has lectured and published widely on the Pantheon, the art and architecture of Bernini, and many related top- ics. He is the author of Bernini’s Scala Regia at the Vatican Palace: Architecture, Sculpture, and Ritual (Cambridge University Press) and Bernini and the Art of Architecture , which received the thirty-fi fth Daria Borghese Prize for best book on a Roman topic by a non-Italian author. He is a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome and currently holds the Rudolf Wittkower Professorship at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome.
