Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly illustrated with rare period photographs, Houston’s Hermann Park: A Century of Community provides a vivid history of Houston’s oldest and most important urban park. Author and historian Barrie Scardino Bradley sets Hermann Park in both a local and a national context as this grand park celebrates its centennial at the culmination of a remarkable twenty-year rejuvenation. As Bradley shows, Houston’s development as a major American city may be traced in the outlines of the park’s history. During the early nineteenth century, Houston leaders were most interested in commercial development and connecting the city via water and rail to markets beyond its immediate area. They apparently felt no need to set aside public recreational space, nor was there any city-owned property that could be so developed. By 1910, however, Houston leaders were well aware that almost every major American city had an urban park patterned after New York’s Central Park. By the time the City Beautiful Movement and its overarching Progressive Movement reached the consciousness of Houstonians, Central Park’s designer, Frederick Law Olmsted, had died, but his ideals had not. Local advocates of the City Beautiful Movement, like their counterparts elsewhere, hoped to utilize political and economic power to create a beautiful, spacious, and orderly city. Subsequent planning by the renowned landscape architect and planner George Kessler envisioned a park that would anchor a system of open spaces in Houston. From that groundwork, in May 1914, George Hermann publicly announced his donation of 285 acres to the City of Houston for a municipal park. Bradley develops the events leading up to the establishment of Hermann Park, then charts how and why the park developed, including a discussion of institutions within the park such as the Houston Zoo, the Japanese Garden, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The book’s illustrations include plans, maps, and photographs both historic and recent that document the accomplishments of the Hermann Park Conservancy since its founding in 1992. Royalties from sales will go to the Hermann Park Conservancy for stewardship of the park on behalf of the community.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Celebration: Of the Centennial Anniversary of the Independence of the United States by an International Universal Exhibition, to Be Held in Philadelphia in the Year 1876; Report to Congress by the United States Centennial Commission, February, 1873; Accompanied by A C The delay which has unavoidably occurred in the printing of the following report and the accompanying papers affords an opportunity to prefix a brief statement of the progress made since the report was submitted to Congress. Most gratifying results have been realized in Pennsylvania from the energy and enthusiasm displayed by the people. The appropriations by the State and by the city of Philadelphia amount to about three millions of dollars, or nearly one-third of the capital required. In the Territory of Arizona the people have subscribed liberally, and the subscriptions for the remaining part of her quota have been guaranteed by a patriotic citizen of that Territory. From Oregon, also, confident assurances have been received, through the commissioner from that State, that steps have been taken which practically secures the assumption of the whole quota of stock allotted to her. In the other States and Territories, although some progress has been made in subscriptions, they have been awaiting the action of Pennsylvania, which it was conceded would be decisive of the success of the movement. It is now, however, essential to that success that the people of those other States and Territories should see that the quotas of stock apportioned to them are taken up with a promptness and zeal characteristic of the country and of the occasion. The Centennial Board Of Finance. On the 23d of April last the election of the directors of the Centennial Board of Finance took place at Concert Hall, in Philadelphia, due notice of the election having been advertised in the principal papers of the country. Holders of over twenty thousand shares of stock were represented at the meeting, which resulted in the election of twenty-five directors, who have since organized, elected their officers, and entered upon their duties. List Of Officers And Members Of The Board Of Directors Of The Centennial Board Of Finance. President. - John Welsh, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Vice-presidents. - William Sellers, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; William H. Appleton, New York City, New York.

Download or read book Sisterhood written by Balin/Herman and published by Hebrew Union College Press. This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of a coterie of dynamic women - not the brainchild of Reform Judaism's male leaders, as is often thought - Women of Reform Judaism has been a force in the shaping of American Jewish life since its founding as the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods in 1913. The synergy of Reform Judaism's universalist ideas and the women's emancipation movement in the early twentieth century made the synagogue auxiliary a natural platform for women to assume new leadership roles in their synagogues, in Reform Judaism, and in American society. These "sisterhoods" have stood for the solidarity among synagogue women as well as the commitment of these women to important social action issues. Called Women of Reform Judaism since 1993, this oldest federation of women's synagogue auxiliaries has grown from 52 temple sisterhoods to 500 and a membership of over 65,000 women, today a vibrant international women's organization. Women of Reform Judaism, in cooperation with The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives and Hebrew Union College Press, marks its centennial anniversary with this collection of new scholarly essays which looks back at its history in order to understand how the hopes and dreams of its founders have come to fruition. Armed with the rich archival resources of the American Jewish Archives, including Proceedings of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, 1913-1955, eighteen scholars contributed essays on the spectrum of Women of Reform Judaism's activities, including their funding of Hebrew Union College during the Great Depression, their support for Jewish education through production of a substantial women's Torah commentary designed to edify lay people as well as scholars and clergy, their promotion of Jewish foodways and art through publication of cookbooks and support of synagogue gift shops, their invention of the Uniongram as a formidable fundraising tool on a par with the Girl Scout cookie, and their efforts to safeguard Jewish continuity through support of youth activities (NFTY).
