  • PUBLIC SCHOOL 72, 1674 Lexington Avenue, Aka 1674-1686 Lexington Avenue and 129- 131 East 105Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 25, 1996, Designation List 273 LP-1836 PUBLIC SCHOOL 72, 1674 Lexington Avenue, aka 1674-1686 Lexington Avenue and 129- 131 East 105th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1879-82; Architect David I. Stagg, Superintendent of Public School Buildings, New York City Board of Education Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1633, Lot 13. On July 15, 1991 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Public School 72 and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of eleven speakers testified in favor of the proposed designation; eight of those speakers were in favor of this as well as other items on the calendar at the hearing, but urged the Commission to continue its work in Harlem. Three speakers declined to take a position regarding this proposed designation until such time as that work continues. Summary Built in 1879-82, Public School 72 was the work of David I. Stagg, whose career in public school architecture spanned more than half a century and who was Superintendent of Public School Buildings for the New York City Board of Education from 1872 to 1886. A rare and almost completely intact example of a late nineteenth-century public school building in Manhattan, it was designed to meet the needs of a once-densely populated immigrant neighborhood in East Harlem. The school, which displays the range of sharply articulated detailing and angular ornament characteristic of the neo-Grec style, is an excellent example of that style as it was used in New York public school design during the late 1870s and 1880s.

  • The Yale University Jean Toomer Papers
    The Yale University Jean Toomer papers http://webtext.library.yale.edu/xml2html/beinecke.TOOMER.con.html The Jean Toomer Papers contain correspondence; multiple drafts of unpublished books, essays, and other writings; and personal papers documenting the life of Jean Toomer. The papers span the years 1898-1963, but the bulk of the material dates from 1920-1954. Unfortunately, few manuscripts from Toomer's Harlem Renaissance period are preserved. Instead the papers are primarily drafts of his later, philosophical writings. Related papers written by his first wife, Margery Latimer, and transcripts of lectures given by his spiritual mentor, Georges Gurdjieff, as well as typescript drafts of Gurdjieff's Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson can also be found in the collection. The Jean Toomer Papers were donated to The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library by Marjorie Content Toomer in 1980 and transferred to Yale in 1985-88 from Fisk University, where they had been on deposit since 1962. Most of the papers were stamped, numbered, labelled, and annotated with dates and names at Fisk University. Most drafts in the collection were written on highly acidic paper and are in poor condition. Preservation photocopies have been made of all fragile correspondence, notes, and final drafts. Newspaper clippings have also been copied. Series I,Correspondence (Boxes 1-10) is divided into two sections: Jean Toomer and Margery Latimer Toomer. The correspondence of Jean Toomer includes letters from Margery Latimer Toomer, as well as letters to and from Marjorie Content Toomer. Correspondence from his mother, Nina Pinchback Toomer, contains a transcript of her letter to Nathan Toomer in 1897 asking for a divorce (Box 8, folder 262).

  • Educational Priorities Panel Capital Promises
    EDUCATIONAL PRIORITIES PANEL CAPITAL PROMISES: WHY NYC CHILDREN DON’T HAVE THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS THEY NEED July 2007 This report was made possible by grants to the Educational Priorities Panel from The New York Community Trust and The Scherman Foundation and additional funding from the Schott Foundation for Public Education. Printing assistance for review copies of this report was provided by the office of NYC Councilmember Robert Jackson. Author: Noreen Connell SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION The objective of this report is to answer the big questions about whether in the foreseeable future most school overcrowding in New York City will be eliminated and all city children will have class sizes and access to school libraries, science labs, art/music rooms, and physical fitness activities that are the norm for students in the rest of the state. The short answer is maybe, but not within the next few years. The Educational Priorities Panel (EPP) tackled these questions in the wake of a state budget agreement in the spring of 2006 to provide more school facilities funding to New York City. Instead of adopting a more ambitious BRICKS facilities plan fashioned by plaintiffs in a 14- year Campaign for Fiscal Equity (CFE) lawsuit, the NYS Legislature and the Governor created an EXCEL plan. This plan essentially met the Mayor’s demand that the financing of the city’s $13.1 billion Children First 2005-09 capital plan be restructured to ensure that at least half the funding be provided by the state. If the BRICKS plan had prevailed, the state would have provided the city school system with an additional $9.2 billion above the state’s $6.5 billion commitment for half of the city’s capital plan funding.

    LP2 Member Handbook 2020–21 Prepared by the Office of Academic Initiatives and Strategic Innovation for The Lifelong Peer Learning Program Dear LP2 Member: Welcome! We are so happy you are here. LP2: The Lifelong Peer Learning Program expresses The Graduate Center, CUNY’s motto: “the life of the mind in the heart of the city,” explicitly fulfilling the creed that education is lifelong. Extending the pulse of the University’s intellectual and cultural life to populations not consistently served in higher education, LP2 continues the legacy of a program that is widely recognized as a pioneer in peer learning for older adults, The Institute for Retired Professionals (IRP), founded at The New School in 1962. This unique learning program transitioned to a new institutional home in May 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic. Members of this program demonstrated their resilience as we shifted to remote learning, teaching, and working, and learned new vocabulary words like “social distancing,” “PPE,” incorporated Zoom into our daily lives and lexicon, and sang “Happy Birthday” (twice) while washing our hands. We have worked together, even if apart, to make for an engaging environment full of enriching experiences including Fridays@3 public talks; extending a volunteer voter registration drive to include students forced to relocate outside of New York for the 2020-2021 academic year due to the pandemic; re-engaging the conversation around systemic racism and the urgent and necessary work to dismantle structures of oppression; and developing new ways to see our city, such as virtual tours of the Metropolitan and Folk Art Museums and armchair travel experiences.
