Download or read book Cornell written by Glenn C. Altschuler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their history of Cornell since 1940, Glenn C. Altschuler and Isaac Kramnick examine the institution in the context of the emergence of the modern research university. The book examines Cornell during the Cold War, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, antiapartheid protests, the ups and downs of varsity athletics, the women's movement, the opening of relations with China, and the creation of Cornell NYC Tech. It relates profound, fascinating, and little-known incidents involving the faculty, administration, and student life, connecting them to the "Cornell idea" of freedom and responsibility. The authors had access to all existing papers of the presidents of Cornell, which deeply informs their respectful but unvarnished portrait of the university. Institutions, like individuals, develop narratives about themselves. Cornell constructed its sense of self, of how it was special and different, on the eve of World War II, when America defended democracy from fascist dictatorship. Cornell’s fifth president, Edmund Ezra Day, and Carl Becker, its preeminent historian, discerned what they called a Cornell "soul," a Cornell "character," a Cornell "personality," a Cornell "tradition"—and they called it "freedom." "The Cornell idea" was tested and contested in Cornell’s second seventy-five years. Cornellians used the ideals of freedom and responsibility as weapons for change—and justifications for retaining the status quo; to protect academic freedom—and to rein in radical professors; to end in loco parentis and parietal rules, to preempt panty raids, pornography, and pot parties, and to reintroduce regulations to protect and promote the physical and emotional well-being of students; to add nanofabrication, entrepreneurship, and genomics to the curriculum—and to require language courses, freshmen writing, and physical education. In the name of freedom (and responsibility), black students occupied Willard Straight Hall, the anti–Vietnam War SDS took over the Engineering Library, proponents of divestment from South Africa built campus shantytowns, and Latinos seized Day Hall. In the name of responsibility (and freedom), the university reclaimed them. The history of Cornell since World War II, Altschuler and Kramnick believe, is in large part a set of variations on the narrative of freedom and its partner, responsibility, the obligation to others and to one’s self to do what is right and useful, with a principled commitment to the Cornell community—and to the world outside the Eddy Street gate.

Book Synopsis To Know Her Own History by : Kelly Ritter
Download or read book To Know Her Own History written by Kelly Ritter and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Know Her Own History chronicles the evolution of writing programs at a landmark Southern women's college during the postwar period. Kelly Ritter finds that despite its conservative Southern culture and vocational roots, the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina was a unique setting where advanced writing programs and creativity flourished long before these trends emerged nationally. Ritter profiles the history of the Woman's College, first as a normal school, where women trained as teachers with an emphasis on composition and analytical writing, then as a liberal arts college. She compares the burgeoning writing program here to those of the Seven Sisters (Wellesley, Smith, Radcliffe, Barnard, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, and Mount Holyoke) and to elite all-male universities, to show the singular progressivism of the Woman's College. Ritter presents lively student writing samples from the early postwar period to reveal a blurring of the boundaries between "creative" and "expository" styles. By midcentury, a quantum shift toward creative writing changed administrators' valuation of composition courses and staff at the Woman's College. An intensive process of curricular revisions, modeled after Harvard's "Redbook" plan, was proposed and rejected in 1951, as the college stood by its unique curricula and singular values. Ritter follows the plight of individual instructors of creative writing and composition, showing how their compensation and standing were made disproportionate by the shifting position of expository writing in relation to creative writing. Despite this unsettled period, the Woman's College continued to gain in stature, and by 1964 it became a prize acquisition of the University of North Carolina system. Ritter's study demonstrates the value of local histories to uncover undocumented advancements in writing education, offering insights into the political, cultural, and social conditions that influenced learning and methodologies at "marginalized" schools such as the Woman's College.
Book Synopsis Making North Carolina Literate by : Allen W. Trelease
Download or read book Making North Carolina Literate written by Allen W. Trelease and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS TITLE IS OUT OF PRINT. Founded in 1892 as North Carolina's first state college for women, the State Normal and Industrial School quickly transcended its name and original mission. From the beginning, founder and first President Charles Duncan McIver and his colleagues strove to attain full college status, centering on the liberal arts. By 1919, that goal was a reality and the institution became the North Carolina College for Women. McIver's successor, Julius I. Foust, set out to make it the state's university for women, parallel to the university at Chapel Hill. That dream evaporated in the Depression as the Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Greensboro campuses consolidated under a single board and most of the graduate work went to Chapel Hill. The Greensboro campus became the UNC Woman's College, or WC. In 1963, all the UNC campuses became coeducational and WC became the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, or UNCG. UNCG has become a metropolitan university -- a category sometimes called the land-grant universities of the 21st century. Like its peers, UNCG offers an education of national, if not worldwide, repute, yet draws the great majority of its students from the surrounding Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point metropolitan area. Three-quarters of its students now live off campus; and reflecting its Woman's College origins as well as a national trend, two-thirds are female. This book traces the many, sometimes dramatic changes seen at the school/college/university from its 1892 beginning until 1994. They include the physical campus; administrative leadership; faculty organization, status, and professional allegiance (the institution versus one's academic discipline); the curriculum; student identity, culture, and struggles to win freedom from parietal regulations; and shifting alumni relations. For many years, a perception of underfunding and neglect from above bred identity problems on campus. Recent years brought other problems, from campus expansion and resultant friction with its neighbors, to controversy over athletic scholarships, to a brief war over control of the Alumni Association. Making North Carolina Literate should be of interest to UNCG alumni, faculty, and students; to readers concerned with North Carolina history, women's history, and the history of higher education. "Despite Trelease's long association with UNCG as a professor of history, he is concise and unsentimental in his appraisals... The result is a well-written, often witty account of the growth of an educational institution and its larger place in North Carolina and the nation." -- News & Record "The content and bibliography of this book, a comprehensive work in progress for over a decade, testify to the author's dedicated research and inclusion of a variety of campus constituents." -- The North Carolina Historical Review "[H]ood's meticulous research, his exploration of the rural reform experience during the Progressive era, and his willingness to place his topic in a larger historiographical context make it a useful model for others to test how representative Nelson and Washington Counties were." -- The Journal of Southern History

Book Synopsis Queen of the Pulps by : Laurie Powers
Download or read book Queen of the Pulps written by Laurie Powers and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daisy Bacon, the opinionated, autocratic and complex editor of Love Story Magazine from 1928 to 1947, chose the stories that would be read by hundreds of thousands of readers each week. The first weekly periodical devoted to romance fiction and the biggest-selling pulp fiction magazine in the early days of the Great Depression, Love Story sparked a wave of imitators that dominated newsstands for more than twenty years. Disparaged as a "love pulp," the magazine actually championed the "modern girl," bringing its heroines out of the shadows of Victorian poverty and into the 20th century. With Love Story's success, Bacon became a national spokesperson, declaring that the modern woman could have it all--in love, in marriage and in the business world. Yet Bacon herself struggled to achieve that ideal, especially in her own romantic life, built around a long-term affair with a married man. Drawing on exclusive access to her personal papers, this first-ever biography tells the story behind the woman who influenced millions of others to pursue independence in their careers and in their relationships.

When the failing school was closed at the end of her first year, Brown remained to carry on. With virtually no resources save her own energy and determination, she founded Palmer Memorial Institute, a private secondary school for African Americans. In the fifty years during which she led the school, Brown built Palmer up to become one of the premier academies for African American children in the nation. Of the hundreds of African American schools operating in North Carolina around 1900, only Palmer gained national renown, outlasting virtually every other such school."--BOOK JACKET.
