  • From the Vice Chancellor and Dean for Agriculture and Life Sciences
    From the Vice Chancellor and Dean for Agriculture and Life Sciences As I reflect on the decades since the Morrill Land-Grant College Act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, I have a renewed respect for our nation’s land-grant university system. When the land-grant colleges opened their doors, they revolutionized higher education in America, making it possible for average citizens to get a practical education that would improve lives and livelihoods — while creating a workforce to help build a great nation. What makes the land-grant system even greater is the collaboration with experiment station research (Hatch Act of 1887) and the connection to the people through cooperative extension (Smith-Lever Act of 1914), which brought education and research to local communities. In Texas, we take the land-grant system one step further with the addition of our service missions: to protect our forests and animal and human health. When the Texas A&M Forest Service was created in 1915, the state’s vast forest resources came under the protection of the land-grant system. In 1969, with the opening of the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, The Texas A&M University System became a partner in the protection of animal health and the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases. Texas A&M AgriLife has carried out the land-grant university mission of teaching, research, extension, and service for more than a century, moving seamlessly within the land-grant design as our nation’s history unfolded. We have grown with each decade, increasing our educational opportunities and student numbers, expanding our research to new horizons, broadening our outreach at home and around the world, and offering new levels of service to the many who depend on us.

Or, to consider the definition most relevant to our purposes, Praxis is the relationship between theory and practice. In 1963, the University of Zagreb, Croatia (then, Yugoslavia) opened their first international summer school on the island of Korcula, and the main symposium was organized by a group of forward-thinking philosophers, sociologists, economists, and historians who wrote for the Zagreb review, “Praxis.” The Praxis School was essentially a Marxist Humanist philosophical movement that had its roots in both Zagreb and Belgrade. Their emphasis was on the writings of the young Marx and in opening an inquiry into the future of mankind.

Signed by Presi­ dent Lincoln on July 2, 1862, this Federal Law established a nationwide system of colleges and universities dedi­ cated to providing opportunities for liberal and practical higher education for all qualified residents of the United States. Founded more than 70 years before the passage of the Land Grant Act, the Uni­ versity of Vermont became the Land Grant institution of Vermont in 1865 when the Vermont Legislature estab­ lished the Vermont Agricultural College and joined it with the parent University at Burlington. It is to Senator Justin Smith Morrill, a native of Strafford, Vermont, himself denied an opportunity for college edu­ cation, whose visionary image of a sys­ tem of colleges to provide education op­ portunities for all who qualified, virtu­ ally revolutionized higher education, that this catalogue is dedicated.

  • Statement of the Honorable J. Brett Blanton Architect of the Capitol
    Statement of The Honorable J. Brett Blanton Architect of the Capitol Architect of the Capitol Fiscal Year 2021 Appropriations Statement before the Subcommittee on Legislative Branch, Committee on Appropriations, United States House of Representatives March 5, 2020 Chairman Ryan, Ranking Member Herrera Beutler, and members of the subcommittee, I appreciate the opportunity to present the Architect of the Capitol’s (AOC) Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 budget request of $798 million. Last month, I was honored to join this notable institution as the 12th Architect of the Capitol. In the first few weeks of leading this organization, I met with my executives and staff to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the agency. I am quite impressed with those that I have met thus far. I believe the AOC has all the necessary elements to succeed in its mission of serving Congress and the Supreme Court, preserving America’s Capitol and inspiring memorable experiences. I honestly feel the best is yet to come for the Architect of the Capitol. The agency I inherited has much to be proud of. Massive, once-in-a-generation renovations of exterior facades, interior spaces and system infrastructure are occurring across campus. Industry-leading changes to energy production and efficiency are being realized through the Capitol Power Plant’s cogeneration system and several Energy Saving Performance Contracts. These transformation energy projects will maximize the use of appropriated funds and have the potential of reducing the Capitol Campus’ energy consumption by upwards of 50 percent by 2025. The Architect of the Capitol provides exceptional support VIEW OF THE WEST FRONT OF THE U.S.

Baily B.S., Texas A&M University—Commerce, 1999 M.A., Louisiana State University, 2003 December, 2006 It has been well said that the highest aim in education is analogous to the highest aim in mathematics, namely, to obtain not results but powers , not particular solutions but the means by which endless solutions may be wrought. He is the most effective educator who aims less at perfecting specific acquirements that at producing that mental condition which renders acquirements easy, and leads to their useful application; who does not seek to make his pupils moral by enjoining particular courses of action, but by bringing into activity the feelings and sympathies that must issue in noble action.

  • Republican National Economic Plan—1861/63
    Republican National Economic Plan—1861/63 The Morrill Tariff Act of 1861 Overview: It was a high protective tariff that increased duties 5%-10%. The increases were designed to raise additional revenue and provide more protection for the prosperous manufacturers. Impact: In its first year of operation, the Morrill Tariff increased the effective rate collected on dutiable imports by approximately 70%. In 1860 American tariff rates were among the lowest in the world and also at historical lows by 19th century standards, the average rate for 1857 through 1860 being around 17% overall (ad valorem], or 21% on dutiable items only. The Morrill Tariff immediately raised these averages to about 26% overall or 36% on dutiable items, and further increases by 1865 left the comparable rates at 38% and 48%. Although higher than in the immediate antebellum period, these rates were still significantly lower than between 1825 and 1830, when rates had sometimes been over 50%. The United States needed much more revenue to support the immense armies and fleets raised to fight the Civil War - over $400 million just in 1862. The chief source of Federal revenue was the tariff revenues. Therefore Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, though a long-time free-trader, worked with Morrill to pass a second tariff bill in summer 1861, raising rates another 10 points in order to generate more revenues.[6] These subsequent bills were primarily revenue driven to meet the war's needs, though they enjoyed the support of protectionists such as Carey, who again assisted Morrill in the bill's drafting.

  • Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure
    Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure Updated September 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41074 SUMMARY R41074 Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and September 1, 2021 Implementation of the Appointment Ida A. Brudnick Specialist on the Congress Procedure According to its website, the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is responsible “for the operations and care of more than 18.4 million square feet of facilities, 570 acres of grounds and thousands of works of art.” Pursuant to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1990, the Architect is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Prior to the enactment of this law, the President appointed the Architect for an unlimited term with no formal role for Congress. The act also established a 10-year term for the Architect as well as a bicameral, bipartisan congressional commission to recommend candidates to the President. As subsequently amended in 1995, this law provides for a commission consisting of 14 Members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House, the President pro tempore of the Senate, the House and Senate majority and minority leaders, and the chair and ranking minority members of the Committee on House Administration, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. An Architect may be reappointed. Alan M. Hantman was the first Architect appointed under the revised appointment procedure. He declined to seek reappointment and served from January 30, 1997, to February 4, 2007. Stephen T. Ayers, who served as Acting Architect of the Capitol following Mr.

  • Administering Green Programs in Congress: Issues and Options
    Order Code RL34694 Administering Green Programs in Congress: Issues and Options October 6, 2008 Jacob R. Straus Analyst on the Congress Government and Finance Division Administering Green Programs in Congress: Issues and Options Summary Programs to create an environmentally conscious workplace have long existed on Capitol Hill. Congress has been working to reduce consumption and conserve energy since the 1970s. Traditionally, these programs have been administered by the Architect of the Capitol. In recent Congresses, the House of Representatives and the Senate have created separate greening programs. In addition, the Architect of the Capitol has developed green programs for the Capitol Complex. In the House of Representatives, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) manages green programs for individual Member offices, committee offices, and support offices. The administration of building-wide energy conservation programs is traditionally managed by the Architect of the Capitol. For the House, the CAO and Architect’s program oversight is conducted by the Committee on House Administration. In the 110th Congress, the House of Representatives labeled all conservation and greening programs as part of the “Green the Capitol” initiative. In the Senate, green programs in individual Senate offices, committee offices, and staff support offices are administered by the Architect of the Capitol, in coordination with the Secretary of the Senate and the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate, and with oversight provided by the Rules and Administration Committee. In the 110th Congress, the Architect of the Capitol’s role in administering facilities-related programs on behalf of the Senate has remained unchanged. The Architect of the Capitol also administers greening programs for the Capitol Complex.
