We are also grateful to all of you for your gen- erous donations that more than quadrupled the Novartis gift, bringing our total raised to nearly$47,000. Most of that money is ear- marked for the operating expenses that enable us to collect, preserve, and interpret Cambridge History and to maintain the Hooper-Lee- Nichols House. For example, $25,000 will be used to match a $50,000 Institutional Preserva- tion Grant we have received from the Cam- bridge Historical Commission to repair the bal- ustrade and replace the roofs on the Hooper- Lee-Nichols House and its garage.

  • From Sweets to Science
    From Sweets to Science The Transformation of 250 Massachusetts Avenue 2 From Sweets to Science Transforming an almost 80-year-old candy factory into a state-of-the-art laboratory to enable, stimulate, and excite world-class scientists to research and discover innovative drugs, took the dedication, creativity, and inexhaustible energy of hundreds of people. The former candy factory owned and operated by the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO), at 250 Massachusetts Avenue, was identified as the headquarters of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR) in August 2002. Novartis communicated to an experienced team of architects and designers at The Stubbins Associates, Inc., the need to “invent” an interior environment that would encourage, foster, and facilitate collaboration and the exchange of ideas and knowledge between scientists. To operate as an efficient and productive organization, the building would have to: • Emphasize openness and transparency • Promote informal social interaction • Integrate interacting scientific disciplines • Make an efficient use of space • Energize the scientists The architects and designers planned a renovation that set new standards of laboratory design. John Moriarty & Associates, Inc. was contracted to do the job, and they fulfilled their task on budget and in record time. The NIBR global headquarters has been occupied and operational since April 2004. From Sweets to Science 1 History of 250 Massachusetts Avenue Until the middle of the 19th century, the land the former NECCO building occupies was tidal marsh. In 1853, railroad tracks were laid, and in 1890, Massachusetts Avenue was FACT: constructed, spurring commercial development. 2,000 miles of telephone and data cables The former NECCO building and its accompanying buildings were completed and occupied installed in 1927 and became the world headquarters for NECCO.

Abstract After establishing the ubiquitous nature of candy conversation hearts in our popular culture and Valentine’s Day celebrations, this paper provides an outline of a simple classroom assignment that can be used to achieve three possible objectives: to analyze cultural messages about love; to illustrate the research method of content analysis; and to challenge students to construct their own cultural critique of the messages on candy hearts and the age group most likely to give and receive them on Valentine’s Day. Candy Hearts in our Popular Culture It is one of the oldest ways in our popular culture for Americans to share their sweet nothings: the candy conversation heart.

  • Necco Dispute Clears Hurdle in Bankrtuptcy Court
    CHESTO MEANS BUSINESS Necco dispute clears hurdle in bankruptcy court By Jon Chesto Globe Staff, July 24, 2019, 8:25 p.m. The NECCO factory in Revere. (ARAM BOGHOSIAN FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE) The Sky Bar, Sweethearts, and Candy Buttons all have new owners, as does the shuttered Necco factory in Revere that had once churned out a sea of confections that would make Willy Wonka proud. But the roughly $10 million left over from the sale of Greater Boston’s last great candy maker? That remains untouched amid a dispute between a bankruptcy trustee and Necco’s former parent company. The trustee, Harold Murphy, just won a significant victory in US bankruptcy court in Boston. Judge Melvin Hoffman essentially denied nearly every effort by Necco’s former parent firm, Ares Capital, to dismiss a case brought by Murphy. Ares had acquired a previous private-equity owner of Necco, ACAS. The case now moves forward, with a trial expected next year. Murphy has sued Ares, claiming the investment firm and its predecessor piled debt onto the Necco business while running the once massive candy empire into the ground. Murphy wants Necco’s former suppliers and other unsecured creditors to be fully reimbursed for the bills left unpaid by the candy company’s demise last year, a figure that totals at least $20 million. Murphy is trying to persuade the judge to knock Ares from its position as first in line for the proceeds from the Necco sale. (Ares was a secured creditor as well as the former owner.) He also claims that ACAS enriched itself from Necco over the years, even as the candy business bled tens of millions.

Abstract: Butlers of the Mohawk Valley: Family Traditions and the Establishment of British Empire in Colonial New York Historians follow those tributaries of early American history and trace their converging currents as best they may in an immeasurable river of human experience. The Butlers were part of those British imperial currents that washed over mid Atlantic America for the better part of the eighteenth century. In particular their experience reinforces those studies that recognize the impact that the Anglo-Irish experience had on the British Imperial ethos in America. Understanding this ethos is as crucial to understanding early America as is the Calvinist ethos of the Massachusetts Puritan or the Republican ethos of English Wiggery. We don't merely suppose the Butlers are part of this tradition because their story begins with Walter Butler, a British soldier of the Imperial Wars in America.
