[Theme music ends 0:47 ] [ER:] Mr. President, you’re very kind indeed to give us a few words of introduction to the program, Prospects of Mankind, which is to be on the Peace Corps, which is one of your great interests. I would like to know how you originally thought of this. It seems to carry out your appeal for everyone to be of service in your inaugural address, but how did you come to invention--to think of it first? [John F. Kennedy:] Well, of course, it had been discussed by uh a good many Americans, and this idea of uh particularly young Americans using their uh desire for service for the uh benefit of mankind uh. Congressman [Henry] Reuss in the House, Senator [Hubert] Humphrey, and the others have been talking a good deal about it. -
Synopsis of American Political Parties
Synopsis of American Political Parties FEDERALISTS DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICANS Favored strong central gov't emphasized states' rights Social order & stability important Stressed civil liberties & public trust "True patriots vs. the subversive rabble" "Rule of all people vs. the favored few" "Loose" constructionists "Strict" constructionists Promoted business & manufacturing Encouraged agrarian society Favored close ties with Britain Admired the French Strongest in Northeast Supported in South & West Gazette of the United States (John Fenno) National Gazette (Philip Freneau) Directed by Hamilton (+ Washington) Founded by Jefferson (+ Madison) First Two-Party System: 1780s-1801 During most of George Washington's presidency, no real two-party political system existed. The Constitution made no provision whatever for political parties. While its framers recognized that reasonable disagreement and organized debate were healthy components in a democratic society, creation of permanent factions was an extreme to be avoided. (The consensus among the founding fathers was that political parties were potentially dangerous because they divided society, became dominated by narrow special interests, and placed mere party loyalty above concern for the common welfare.) Hence, to identify Washington with the Federalist Party is an ex post facto distinction. Accordingly, Washington's first "election" is more accurately described as a "placement"; his second election was procedural only. The first presidential challenge whereby the citizenry genuinely expressed choice between candidates affiliated with two separate parties occurred in 1896, when John Adams won the honor of following in Washington's footsteps. The cartoon above shows the infamous brawl in House of Representatives between Democratic-Republican Matthew Lyon of Vermont and Federalist Roger Griswold from Connecticut. -

George W. Thoma, Jr., MD, reporting in 1965 to the Texas Society of Pathologists.647 LABORATORY MEDICINE AND THE PRACTICE of pathol ogy were on the verge of transformation in the mid-1960s. As cnti cal paths of science and technology merged, however, so also did long-time political and socioeconomic trends. With science and technology on the verge of explosion, regulation of medicine was in its infancy and civil rights disturbances were at a boiling point. In science, the sixties brought newvisions of theoretical immu nology and immunopathology.648 Already, science had fostered sig nificant advances in technology, and now automation was encour aged regardless of laboratory size. Physicians were advised that the cost of their upgraded laboratory equipment could be recovered over a period ofyears even when a laboratory performed only a small number of tests."649 Norman Jacob, MD, of San Antonio, recalls his first attempt to purchase Technicon's autoanalyzer in the late 1950s. He had at tended a meeting of the American Associ~tion of Pathologists and 233 234 THE HISTORY OF PATHOLOGYIN TEXAS Bacteriologists in Houston, and had seen a demonstration of equip ment that could perform two tests-urea and glucose. The cost was $5,500, but with the expenditure Dr. Jacob saw the wave of the fu ture. Based at Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio, he returned to advise Sister Mary Vincent, known as a tough administrator, that it was "the way to go." Fully expecting her to balk, he was surprised when she curtly responded, "Well, get it!" He called the company in Tarrytown, N ew York, and spoke with the owner's son, who promised to promptly send and set up the equipment. -

Michigan Presidential Primary Facts and Statistics Michigan Department of State Bureau of Elections February 2019 MICHIGAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 1912 The legislature enacted Public Act 9 to direct that a presidential preference primary be conducted in the month of April. 1931 The legislature enacted Public Act 200 to repeal the presidential preference primary. 1972 The legislature enacted Public Act 60 to reestablish the presidential primary subject to the following provisions: • Primary would be held on the third Tuesday in May in presidential election years for each political party that received greater than 5% of the total vote cast nationwide in the last presidential election. • The Secretary of State would issue a list of individuals generally advocated by the national news media as potential candidates for president. The law also provided that the state political party chairpersons could provide the Secretary of State with a list of individuals whom they consider to be potential presidential nominees for their political party. The Secretary of State was then required to notify each candidate appearing on the lists who in turn was required to file an affidavit indicating his or her political party preference and willingness to have his or her name appear on the ballot. Individuals whose names did not appear on either the Secretary of State’s or a political party list could qualify as a candidate by filing nominating petitions. The petitions were required to be signed by registered electors equal to at least ½ of 1% of the total vote cast in the previous presidential election for the presidential candidate of the political party of the individual. -

Peace Corps' Enduring Charter
PEACE CORPS' ENDURING CHARTER Loret M. Ruppe* Peace Corps has recently celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday. Its success during the past quarter century is due most directly to the selfless work of more than 100,000 Volunteers who have served the needs of the people of over ninety developing countries. Its longevity as a program, however, also arises from the foresight of President John F. Kennedy in proposing, and the Congress in enacting, in 1961, enabling legislation that has stood the test of time. It is, therefore, most appropriate that the United States Congress' role in chartering and maintaining the Peace Corps be acknowledged in this Issue celebrating the two-hundredth anniversary of the Constitution and the Congress. In 1960, presidential candidate John F. Kennedy sounded the call to the Peace Corps. Standing on the steps of the Student Union, he asked University of Michigan students: How many of you are willing to spend 10 years in Africa or Latin America or Asia working for the U.S. and working for freedom? How many of you [who] are going to be doctors are willing to spend your days in Ghana? Technicians or engineers: how many of you are willing to work in the Foreign Service and spend your lives travelling around the world? On your willingness to do that, not merely to serve one or two years in the service, but on your willingness to contribute part of your life to this country I think will depend the answer whether we as a free society can compete. I think we can, and I think Americans are willing to contribute. -

O’Brien, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATOR: SARGENT SHRIVER’S LIFE AS AN ENGAGED CATHOLIC AND AS AN ACTIVE LIBERAL Name: Martin, Daniel Edwin University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Anthony B. Smith This dissertation argues that Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.’s Roman Catholicism is undervalued when understanding his role crafting late 1950s and 1960s public policies. Shriver played a role in desegregating Chicago’s Catholic and public school systems as well as Catholic hospitals. He helped to shape and lead the Peace Corps. He also designed many of the programs launched in President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Shriver’s ability to produce new policies and agencies within a broader structure of governance is well known. However, Shriver’s Catholicism is often neglected when examining his influence on key public policy initiatives and innovations. This dissertation argues that Shriver’s Roman Catholic upbringing formed him in such a way as to understand the nature of large bureaucracies and to see possibilities for innovation within an overarching structure. -
