The following pages pretend to be no more than a sketch, in the form of annals, of the history of Saint John’s. As such it is merely a compilation of events that will serve as working material for the future historian. Most of the information was drawn from the annual catalogues the first of which was published in 1870; from the files of newspapers, such as Der Wanderer, of St. Paul, and the St. Cloud Daily Times; from the Saint John’s University Record, private diaries and personal recollections. If many of the happenings chronicled do not rise to the dignity of historical events, the writer’s excuse is that he has addressed himself primarily to the alumni of the institution, to whom the daily doings of college life are as interesting as the larger facts of history. For this reason too the forms of annals was chosen as a dress for the narrative. CHAPTER I Beginnings – The Saint Cloud Priory – Transfers – Final Location – 1856-1867 When, about the middle of last century, that part of central Minnesota lying west of the Mississippi was thrown open for settlement, such a stream of settlers poured in that in a short time the face of the primitive wilderness was changed.

    Room to grow Agent by chance, teacher by choice, Ron Shapiro continues to evolve, educate and influence By Bill King, Senior Writer Published February 4, 2013 As he returned to the dinner table, a slice of homemade apple pie in haand, Ron Shapiro fielded the sort of question that marks the simple rhythm of a couple’s life. “Did you lock the chickens up?” his wife, Cathi, asked him. Shapiro tilted his head. He and Cathi have owned and occupied Mistfield Farm, a 150-acre spread about 25 miles north of Baltimore, for 23 years now. So he’s used to their chats about chickens and horses and the occasional homegrown crop. But, in the context of his story — “accidental sports agent,” as he sometimes describes himself; Baltimore politico; ttrusted counsel to influencers across sports — it seems an unlikely scene. Ron Shapiro sometimes describes himself as "accidental sports agent." Photo: NICK GRINER PHOTOGRAPHY The son of an immigrant who sold encyclopedias door-to-door before building a successful plumbing supply business, Shapiro (pronounced Sha-Pie-Ro) went offf to Harvard Law School and then moved to Baltimore, where his career took off like a moonshot. He started off as a civil rights attorney, but added securities law to his portfolio and soon was appointed 1 securities commissioner of Maryland. That led to a meeting with Brooks Robinson, the Orioles’ Hall of Fame-bound third baseman, who needed help with his finances, and then with his contract. Before he knew it, Shapiro had a practice as a baseball agent, representing eventual hall of famers Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray and Kirby Puckett, along with a gaggle of everyday Orioles.

  • Growth Machine Or Pluralism? Referenda Politics at the Local Level
    1 Growth Machine or Pluralism? Referenda Politics at the Local Level Richard A. Keiser ([email protected]) Department of Political Science Carleton College, Minnesota, USA Paper Presented at the 2016 Western Political Science Association meetings, San Diego, CA, ABSTRACT Within the policy arena of economic development policy, Growth Machine Theory posits “the domination of a disorganized majority by an organized minority” (Harding 36). This elitist theory of urban politics takes as a given what scholars know as the paradox of collective action, i.e., that minorities will be more successful in mobilizing for their interests than majorities because minorities are better funded and better organized. Some state and local arenas in the United States offer an institution that can provide a mechanism for transforming policy regimes that were skewed against the majority. This article will demonstrate that at the local level, the direct democracy institutions of the initiative and referendum are resources that inadequately organized majorities can use to create pluralist competition against all too typically dominant minority factions. In the urban arena where growth-oriented coalitions are so frequently dominant, these institutions can aggregate and mobilize the countervailing power of an otherwise latent majority. This article will use case studies of sports stadia politics to demonstrate this argument, that direct democracy institutions are an intervening variable that can transform growth machine politics into pluralist politics. ************** Within the policy arena of economic development policy, Growth Machine Theory posits “the domination of a disorganized majority by an organized minority” (Harding 36). Coalitions of real estate entrepreneurs, bankers, corporate leaders, politicians and the media create growth policies that benefit their narrow interests but employ a value-free growth ideology to suggest that the entire city receives distributed benefits from growth (Logan and Molotch).
