Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Goucher College The personality of a college is the product of the intelligent and generous loyalty of its members and friends. Balliol, Harvard, Yale, Vassar, Smith each has a personality resultant from such contributions of thought and act. When we think of Balliol College we think of scholarship and not just of John of Balliol. When Harvard is mentioned we think of that university which is prominent in learning as in American educational history and not only of John Harvard and Charles W.Eliot. When Yale is named we think not just of the name Elihu but of the great twentieth century institution and all it stands for. Vassar now connotes the college by the Hudson and all that it has become since Matthew Vassar founded it. Smith means a great college for women and not only one individual of an innumerable clan. The story of the efforts of many devoted persons forms the history of the institution, the tale of how its personality developed. Goucher has a personality. From its beginning as the Woman's College of Baltimore it has been affectionately and intelligently served by a noble host -trustees, members of the faculty and staff, students, alumnae, and friends. From time to time changes come. For the most part these are superficial such as changes in costume or social custom, always interesting to the student of educational history and frequently amusing. Always there has persisted a splendid spirit. That, I hope, will be made clear to readers of this book. Personal and contemporary observation recorded in letters and diaries forms the very foundation for the work of the ultimate historian.

Book Synopsis Becoming Taiwanese by : Evan N. Dawley
Download or read book Becoming Taiwanese written by Evan N. Dawley and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What does it mean to be Taiwanese? This question sits at the heart of Taiwan’s modern history and its place in the world. In contrast to the prevailing scholarly focus on Taiwan after 1987, Becoming Taiwanese examines the important first era in the history of Taiwanese identity construction during the early twentieth century, in the place that served as the crucible for the formation of new identities: the northern port city of Jilong (Keelung).Part colonial urban social history, part exploration of the relationship between modern ethnicity and nationalism, Becoming Taiwanese offers new insights into ethnic identity formation. Evan Dawley examines how people from China’s southeastern coast became rooted in Taiwan; how the transfer to Japanese colonial rule established new contexts and relationships that promoted the formation of distinct urban, ethnic, and national identities; and how the so-called retrocession to China replicated earlier patterns and reinforced those same identities. Based on original research in Taiwan and Japan, and focused on the settings and practices of social organizations, religion, and social welfare, as well as the local elites who served as community gatekeepers, Becoming Taiwanese fundamentally challenges our understanding of what it means to be Taiwanese."
Book Synopsis Teaching Naked by : José Antonio Bowen
Download or read book Teaching Naked written by José Antonio Bowen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've heard about "flipping your classroom"—now find out how to do it! Introducing a new way to think about higher education, learning, and technology that prioritizes the benefits of the human dimension. José Bowen recognizes that technology is profoundly changing education and that if students are going to continue to pay enormous sums for campus classes, colleges will need to provide more than what can be found online and maximize "naked" face-to-face contact with faculty. Here, he illustrates how technology is most powerfully used outside the classroom, and, when used effectively, how it can ensure that students arrive to class more prepared for meaningful interaction with faculty. Bowen offers practical advice for faculty and administrators on how to engage students with new technology while restructuring classes into more active learning environments.

Download or read book Fresh Blood written by Sanford J. Ungar and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on hundreds of richly textured interviews conducted from one end of the country to the other, veteran journalist Sanford J. Ungar documents the real-life struggles and triumphs of America's newest immigrants. He finds that the self-chosen who arrive every day, most of them legally, still enrich our national character and experience and make invaluable political, economic, social, cultural, and even gastronomic contributions. "First-class journalism, a book scholars will use decades from now to find out what it 'felt like' to be an immigrant in the 90s. I do not know of a better description and analysis of contemporary immigration." -- Roger Daniels, author of Coming to America: A History of Immigration and Ethnicity in American Life "An excellent overview of contemporary immigration issues set within the context of developments in the past fifty years. Ungar makes a strong case for the contributions of recent immigrants and for maintaining a relatively open door in the face of sometimes shrill opposition." -- Thomas Dublin, editor of Immigrant Voices: New Lives in America "Exactly the right book at the right time. [Ungar] looks at the national controversy over immigration policy with a clear eye, producing a history and a convincing argument why this is no time to reverse a liberal welcome to newcomers that has always--in good times and bad--made this a better and more prosperous democracy." -- Ben H. Bagdikian, author of Double Vision
Book Synopsis Between Sovereignty and Anarchy by : Patrick Griffin
Download or read book Between Sovereignty and Anarchy written by Patrick Griffin and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Sovereignty and Anarchy considers the conceptual and political problem of violence in the early modern Anglo-Atlantic, charting an innovative approach to the history of the American Revolution. Its editors and contributors contend that existing scholarship on the Revolution largely ignores questions of power and downplays the Revolution as a contest over sovereignty. Contributors employ a variety of methodologies to examine diverse themes, ranging from how Atlantic perspectives can redefine our understanding of revolutionary origins, to the ways in which political culture, mobilization, and civil-war-like violence were part of the revolutionary process, to the fundamental importance of state formation for the history of the early republic. The editors skillfully meld these emerging currents to produce a new perspective on the American Revolution, revealing how America—first as colonies, then as united states—reeled between poles of anarchy and sovereignty. This interpretation—gleaned from essays on frontier bloodshed, religion, civility, slavery, loyalism, mobilization, early national political culture, and war making—provides a needed stimulus to a field that has not strayed beyond the bounds of "rhetoric versus reality" for more than a generation. Between Sovereignty and Anarchy raises foundational questions about how we are to view the American Revolution and the experimental democracy that emerged in its wake.
