  • University Microfilms International300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Hbcuse: Space-Making and Identity Performance on SU Campus
    HBCuse: Space-Making and Identity Performance on SU Campus Giselle Bookal Maxwell School | Geography Major Maxwell School | Environment and Society Minor Renee Crown Honors Program Class of 2020 1 Abstract This paper aims to explore the ways in which the performance of black racial identity manifests within the context of a predominantly white institution (PWI). I will analyze the ways in which hidden history and collective memory collude to create spaces that mitigate how identity is performed. I utilize a two-tiered approach in conducting this research in which I trace the forgotten histories of Syracuse University’s marginalized black student community and the current landscape of the HBCuse social grouping, primarily by tracing student organization involvement. I will explore how identity-performance within the restrictive climate of a PWI creates opportunities for autonomous space-making while also universalizing racial identity within these spaces and their interconnected framework. I will employ the concept of ‘blanket blackness’, a place-bound identity formulated by the selective incorporation of multiplicitous black sociocultural phenomenon that collude within a predominantly white space. I argue that this blanket blackness both provides a space for the holistic expression of black racial identity and excludes those who do not fall under its rigid stratifications. By utilizing a geographical approach that considers the importance of space, history, memory, identity and power within these developments, I aim to uncover the ways in which black students on this campus have successfully created enriching and substantial spaces for creative, personal and professional growth on a campus whose history has hinged upon accommodating us, not accepting us.

  • 100 YEARS and STILL GOING STRONG Hugh O. Canham
    SUNY-ESF: 100 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG Hugh O. Canham Professor Emeritus State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry Syracuse, New York Faculty Barbeque 1914 1 SUNY-ESF: 100 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG Hugh O. Canham Professor Emeritus May, 2011 The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (hereafter called the College) was founded in 1911 under Chapter 851 of the New York State Education Law. At that time it was the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University and the formation of a State University in New York was far in the future. However, by 1948 the College became a unit within the newly formed State University of New York and in 1972 the College name was changed to its present name: State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY- ESF). Over the last 100 years the state, the nation, and the world have changed and the College has kept pace with those changes. Responses to change are sometimes dramatic, sometimes slow and evolutionary, sometimes lagging behind a movement, and sometimes anticipating the future. The history of the College is the story of: • programs (teaching, research, outreach) • physical plant (buildings, properties, equipment) • people (faculty, students, administrators, legislators) Article 121 of the New York State Education Act (1911) directed the College to educate people in the management and use of the forest resource for the benefit of humanity. As the College evolved for its first 60 years it broadened the scope of its programs but all were centered around forestry, the forest, and its uses.

AMERICAN COLLEGE FRATERNITIES: A DESCKIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIETY SYSTEM IN THE COLLEGES OF THE UNITED STATES, WITH A DETAILED ACCOUNT OF EACH FRATERNITY. BY WM. RAIMOND BAIRD. PHILADELPHIA: J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. London : 16 Southampton Street, Covent Garden. 1879. v- \j „ CASE ft Copyright, 1879, by Wm. Baimond Baird. • • • • • • • ••"•• • •• • • •• • ••.••>•••••• • ••• « • •• • ••••• •••••• • ' PEEFAOE. The author of this book is a member of one of the college fraternities. Having occasion to make inquiries in regard to one of these organizations, he was surprised to learn that there was no general repository of facts in regard to them, that few of their members knew more than the names of those with which they had come into contact, and that the majority were ignorant alike, of the origin, principles, history, and customs of any of the fraternities, oftentimes their own included. This lack of knowledge has arisen not from the desire to know nothing of other organizations, nor from indifference to the affairs of their neighbors, but from the fact that information of this kind had never been brought together in a convenient shape. An endeavor has been made to make this book a vehicle of such information. In seeking material the author has in general met with the hearty co-operation of the fraternities themselves, and with few exceptions all facilities have been placed at his disposal. Nothing is here given to the public that an intelligent observer could not ascertain, and no attempt has been made to lay bare any of the so-called secrets of the college societies.
