Unbuilt Washington
Revised Design for the Capitol by William Thornton, ca. 1797 Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, LC-DIG-ppmsca-19858 William Thornton's designs for the central section of the Capitol featured a large rotunda capped with a broad, low dome, coupled with a conference room with a narrower dome raised on tall columns. The balustrade ringing the top of the central bay was lined with large statues, which curator Martin Moellner calls "an odd departure from the restraint Thornton had shown in previous designs." During the rush to complete the north wing before Congress's move to Washington in 1800, the plan was abandoned.
Proposed Executive Mansion on Meridian Hill by Paul J. Pelz, 1898Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, LC-DIG-ppmsca-31528 Among the many unbuilt schemes planned for the site that is now Meridian Hill Park, the most lavish was envisioned by Mary Foote Henderson, the wife of a former senator from Missouri who lived across 16th St. Having already developed a number of lavish houses that transformed 16th St. into Washington's first embassy row, Henderson commissioned architect Paul Peltz to design a new Executive Mansion. Though his plans were stunning, featuring wide terraces and steep staircases sloping toward Boundary Street (now Florida Avenue), they remained on the boards, as Henderson was unable to convince Congress of the need for a new residence for the First Family.
Maryland Historical Society
Competition entry for the President's House by "A.Z." (attributed to Thomas Jefferson), 1792Courtesy of the Maryland Historical Society, 1976.88.6 When Pierre L'Enfant was dismissed before he could produce a design for the President's House, city commissioners conducted a design competition. At least nine designs were submitted, including this one by "A.Z." The influence of Andrea Palladio's Villa Rotonda (1571) suggests the pseudonym was Thomas Jefferson's.
Preliminary proposal for the National Cultural Center by Edward Durell Stone, 1961 Edward Durell Stone Collection (MC 340), Box 104. Special Collections, University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville. When President Eisenhower signed a bill establishing the National Culture Center for the performing arts in 1958, Senator William Fulbright recommended fellow Arkansan Edward Durell Stone as architect for the project. His initial curvilinear scheme—featuring three large performance halls arranged around a domed rotunda, with a stepped terrace extending into the Potomac—won him the commission, but was ultimately rejected by the project's board of trustees as too expensive. Stone's final, rectilinear scheme incorporated elements of the original design, such as the series of spindly columns, yet Martin Moellner writes that "the sculptural qualities of the original version would have yielded a far less formal, more dynamic work of architecture."
Proposal for the Lincoln Memorial by John Russell Pope, 1912 National Archives, Washington, D.C. As part of its plan for the Monumental Core of the National Mall, the MacMillan Commission of 1901-02 envisioned the mall extending west of the Washington Monument and culminating in a grand memorial to Abraham Lincoln. When a bill to establish the monument finally passed Congress, Speaker of the House Joseph Cannon rejected its location on the west end of the mall. At his request, the Lincoln Memorial Commission asked John Russell Pope to prepare designs for two locations: the Soldiers' Home (now the Armed Forces Retirement Home) and Meridian Hill. In 1912, the commission ultimately decided to support the mall site and asked Pope to draft a design. His plan for a quirky ziggurat topped by a standing statue of Lincoln was ultimately rejected in favor of designs by his rival, Henry Bacon.
Proposed Memorial Bridge by Smithmeyer and Pelz, 1887 Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, LC-DIG-ppmsca-31532 Plans to build a bridge across the Potomac River date to before the Civil War. They came close to realization in the 1880s, when, working with the Army Corps of Engineers, Captain Thomas W. Symons collaborated with Smithmeyer and Pelz Architects to design a bridge honoring former president Ulysses S. Grant. One of their two plans for the memorial bridge was a neo-Romanesque pair of towers with smaller, round turrets interspersed between them. The medieval design, which conjured London's Tower Bridge, clashed strongly with Washington's predominantly neoclassical and Renaissance-inspired architecture.
Proposed National Galleries of History and Art by Franklin Webster Smith, 1900 Designs, Plans, and Changes for the Aggrandizement of Washington In 1890, concerned that the United States lagged behind the rest of the "civilized" world in terms of cultural development, Boston hardware magnate Franklin Webster Smith proposed a National Gallery of History and Art in Washington. Architect James Renwick, Jr., produced a design, but the project was put on hold by the financial crisis of 1893.
Proposed reuse of the Arts & Industries Building by Morphosis, 2011 Courtesy of Morphosis Architects Though the Smithsonian's Arts & Industries (A&I) Building (1881) once hosted exhibitions on art, history, and anthropology, over the years, as more specialized museums have opened along the mall, it has lost its identity. The building had been vacant for six years when, in 2010, the Smithsonian Institute commissioned Morphosis Architects to reimagine the structure. Their designs preserved the structure's historic integrity, while simultaneously transforming it into a modern space filled with interactive exhibitions and a "virtual index" of the entire Smithsonian collection.
Washington Monument grounds, Senate Park Commission Plan, 1902 Courtesy of U.S. Commission of Fine Arts Created in 1901 by Michigan Senator James McMillan to create "a plan for the improvement of the entire park system of the District of Columbia," the McMillan Commission, officially known as the Senate Park Commission, was, according to Martin Moellner, "the most influential force in the design of Washington since L'Enfant." The commission, which comprised architects Daniel H. Burnham and Charles Follen McKim, sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr., took its neoclassical cues from the "White City" aesthetic advocated by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Due to soil problems, the Monument was built east-southeast of its original intended location. Shown here is the McMillan Commission's plan for the site, featuring a wide staircase leading down to a circular pool—which also remained unbuilt due to poor soil conditions.
Library of Congress
Proposed extensions to the White House by Frederick W. Owen, ca. 1890 Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, LC-USZC4-7736 When President Benjamin Harrison moved his family into the White House in 1889, his wife, Caroline, insisted they needed more space, and contracted engineer Frederick D. Owen to design a thorough expansion. The plan called for two wings, each nearly the size of the original house, placed perpendicularly to the main building. The executive residence would remain in the main building, offices would move to the west wing, and a public art gallery would occupy the east wing. Congressional funding for the project was blocked by Speaker of the House Thomas Brackett Reed, who clashed with President Harrison over patronage appointments and presidential pardons.
It's hard to imagine a different Capitol sitting atop Jenkins Hill, an elevated site selected by Pierre-Charles L'Enfant, who described it to President George Washington in June 1791 as "a pedestal waiting for a monument." Washington had directed the three-man board of commissioners brought on to manage the development of the new capital city to hire L'Enfant to design the city and its public buildings. But settling on a design for the Capitol Building wasn't the most difficult decision of the time. For not only could the Capitol have looked much different than it does today, it might not have been located in the new city named for the father of our country in the first place.
Despite Washington's influence and stature, locating our nation's capital in his proposed site near the Potomac River was not a forgone conclusion. Congress had its own ideas of where the capital should reside. Northern members were in favor of sites on the Hudson, Delaware, or Potomac rivers. Southern members liked the idea of two capitals—one on the Potomac and another farther north, such as New York City.
After much debate, arm-twisting, and compromise, the U.S. Senate passed the Residence Act by a vote of 14 to 12. The U.S. House of Representatives followed suit by passing the act by a vote of 31 to 29. Only two scant votes in both the House and the Senate set the course of history. If those two votes had gone the other way in either chamber, I would be reviewing "Unbuilt Philadelphia" or "Unbuilt New York." But on July 16, 1790, the city of Washington in the District of Columbia was declared the permanent capital of the United States.
"Unbuilt Washington," on view at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., features proposed designs for nearly every notable building on or near the National Mall in Washington today, from the U.S. Capitol Building to the Washington Monument. As Architect of the Capitol, I am responsible for the care and preservation of many of these buildings. Our agency's portfolio might as well have included several buildings proposed by renowned architects, obscure amateurs, and even U.S. presidents—buildings that were ultimately never built.
The origin of the office of the Architect of the Capitol dates back to the setting of the Capitol's cornerstone by President George Washington in 1793. Three years earlier, the Residence Act had stipulated that Philadelphia would serve as the temporary capital for 10 years while a new city was built on the northern bank of the Potomac River near Georgetown. While L'Enfant delivered a plan for Washington, despite pressure from the commissioners, by 1791, he had failed to present a plan for the new Capitol. So the leaders of the new democracy took a suitably democratic approach to finding the appropriate design, sponsoring a public competition in March 1792.
While it's not known exactly how many designs were submitted, at least 13 men are known to have entered, and although some of those proposals are lost to time, 37 drawings still exist today. The evocative drawings exhibited in "Unbuilt Washington" demonstrate how each failed to capture President Washington's support and imagination—and why they didn't get built.
Would the Capitol Building still resonate in the world as the definitive symbol of representational democracy if it were built after James Diamond's design—one that featured what "Unbuilt Washington" curator G. Martin Moeller Jr. has described as a "screaming chicken" atop its unambitious dome? Diamond, an amateur architect, also proposed the same poultry for the President's House (today, the White House). It's no surprise that his design wasn't selected for that building, either.
Then, as is the case now, there were factors and influences beyond aesthetics that went into the decision making. Among them were politics, money (or lack thereof), personal preferences, and war—to name a few.
The exhibit points out that the competition's winner, William Thornton, adapted his original design—known as the Tortola Scheme—based on the feedback provided by President Washington and others on the prior submissions. Thornton's first attempt at designing the Capitol looked more like a mansion with wings. Learning of Washington's predilection for a dome (Washington thought it would give the Capitol "beauty and grandeur"), Thornton scrapped the Tortola Scheme and instead presented a design that featured a low dome. The proposal also incorporated the Neoclassical design that then–Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson preferred. (Thornton, a medical doctor and amateur architect, is credited as the first Architect of the Capitol, because his design for the Capitol was selected.)
More changes were made to Thornton's plan after a conference was held to discuss the design's constructability and floor plan. Jefferson—who had submitted his own design for the Capitol, which is on view in "Unbuilt Washington"—lobbied for a three-story House Chamber. Thornton acquiesced, but the concept later proved difficult to build. (After the British burned the Capitol Building in 1814, the design-by-conference approach was scrapped. A new plan for the House Chamber proposed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who was responsible for constructing the Capitol's south wing, was approved in 1815.)
The establishment of the Library of Congress flowed from decisions regarding the Capitol. In 1800, as Congress was preparing to move from Philadelphia to Washington, $5,000 was appropriated to buy books for the use of Congress in its new home. The Library of Congress was thereby created, and it was housed in the new Capitol Building. The Library's collections continued to grow over the years, even after several fires destroyed portions of it over the ensuing decades. Following much debate and discussion, Congress authorized a design competition in March 1873 for a new library building and appointed a commission to select a plan.
Some of these designs were grandiose, such as Leon Beaver's palacelike proposal. There were some members of Congress who opposed the construction of a separate library building entirely, and instead advocated for an expansion of the Capitol Building to accommodate the growing collections. A strong proponent of a separate facility, the Librarian of Congress Ainsworth Spofford asked Architect of the Capitol Thomas U. Walter to estimate the cost of enlarging the Capitol for the library. Walter estimated the price tag at about $4 million. Spofford used that estimate to justify funding a separate library, and, in 1886, Smithmeyer & Pelz's modified design—which was modeled in part on the Paris Opera House—was finally approved.
John L. Smithmeyer and Paul Pelz redesigned their entry many times, submitting Italian Renaissance schemes, Victorian Gothic schemes, and German Renaissance schemes. Their process reminds me of the early American quest to define ourselves. Our newly found freedom and independence was still fresh on our minds; we had yet to determine what style of architecture best defined us as a country. Regarding many of those design decisions, politics, money, and personal preference came into play once again.
The Library of Congress, housed in the Thomas Jefferson Building, was opened to the public on Nov. 1, 1897. On Nov. 25, more than 4,700 visitors toured the new Library during a special Thanksgiving Day open house. The guests were astonished by what they saw. Joseph E. Robinson was so moved, he was compelled to write Spofford: "Not until I stand before the judgment seat of God do I ever expect to see this building transcended."
Would he have been so moved to write those words by Alexander Esty's design? "Unbuilt Washington" shows plainly how the course of history might have been altered, had, for example, the Washington Monument been designed as a pyramid, or had our tribute to President Abraham Lincoln been a statue of the man standing atop a ziggurat. Life in Washington would be quite different if the National Mall were bookmarked by elevated highways. But the exhibit also demonstrates how the design history of the capital city affected Americans such as Mr. Robinson.
The early development of our federal city specifically fascinates me. "Unbuilt Washington" goes further: It includes more recent unbuilt work in the Southeast quadrant, Foggy Bottom, and downtown.
Two of these are especially intriguing. The first is the Dolphin America Hotel, designed by architect Doug Michels in 1989. He was rather captivated by dolphins and proposed various projects that would bring humans into closer contact with the aquatic mammals. While we continue to be intrigued by how intelligent dolphins are, we'll never know if Michels's idea was a smart one.
The second is the Washington Channel Bridge, proposed by Chloethiel Woodard Smith and Associated Architects in 1966 to connect the Southwest Waterfront to East Potomac Park. Imagined as Washington's version of Florence, Italy's Ponte Vecchio, this pedestrian bridge would have featured shops and restaurants, potentially altering the look and feel of these neighborhoods so dramatically that they might be unrecognizable today. I find myself a little disappointed that this bold idea was never built.
Woven throughout the exhibit are the "Nationals." (No, not the baseball team that led the National League East in April.) The exhibit captures our country's efforts to define itself through so-called "national" monuments, memorials, and buildings. The exhibit surveys designs for the National Mall, the National Cathedral, a National Museum, a National University, a National Aquarium—even a National Parthenon.
Despite the fact that the United States never built a National Parthenon or a dolphin center, I can't help but think that somehow we got it right. Yes, we occasionally veered off course, and the history of Washington, D.C., is punctuated with corrections, such as the McMillan Plan (1901) and the National Capital Planning Commission's Extending the Legacy Plan (1997). But even through the ebb and flow of public support, and notwithstanding the influence of politicians, politics, war, and money (or lack thereof), the nation has generally arrived at the right answers and the best design solutions for its capital.
I get a lump of pride in my throat whenever I fly back to Washington after some time away. Is there anything more majestic than seeing the Washington Monument appear outside your airplane window and having your eye wander up the great, green expanse of the National Mall to the gleaming dome of our Capitol Building? One of the best features of "Unbuilt Washington" is that it is set in Washington—the iconic, monumental, and inspirational Capital City.

Past Project Descriptions
2014 Undergraduate Internship #1
- Title
- Intern (Undergraduate) Women in Science, Spatial Analysis of Urban Wildlife
- Project
- Spatial Analysis of Urban Wildlife: Working with species occurrence data from either the Field Museum McCormick Bird Collection or from trap camera data collected by Lincoln Park Zoo in 2011 the intern will test human caused drivers of species movement or migration. The intern will work with ecologists and spatial analysis experts to identify possible drivers and use spatial analysis software to test their theory and produce maps. Interns will download and organize spatial and natural history data, generate maps, and will have opportunities to accompany staff on limited field work in the Chicago region. Students interested in environmental conservation, urban ecology, and/or Geographic Information Systems are encouraged to apply. Applicants should be proficient in Microsoft Excel, have the ability to multitask, and strong preference will be given to experience using ESRI ArcGIS.
2014 Undergraduate Internship #2
- Title
- Intern (Undergraduate) Women in Science, Southern Mexican Economic Botany
- Project
- Southern Mexican Economic Botany: At two sites in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, where researchers have conducted excavations into prehispanic contexts, botanical surveys of the current on-site plant communities also have been implemented. These surveys reveal that the living plant communities represent, in large part, a remnant of the plants that were tended or cultivated at these localities more than a millennium ago. The intern will learn to identify dried plant samples collected in Mexico and research past and current uses of these species by indigenous peoples in Mexico and will use the herbarium collection to identify some of the plants that we collected from these sites and to contribute to our efforts to record the past and present uses of these plants. Students with interest in botany as well as human uses of plants are encouraged to apply and should have a strong attention to detail.
2014 Undergraduate Internship #3
- Title
- Intern (Undergraduate) Women in Science, Evolution of the Mammalian Feeding System
- Project
- Using museum collections to track the developmental and biomechanical evolution of the mammalian feeding system: How do developmental processes and functional demands influence the evolution of morphology? In particular, how do the developmental contingencies in the skulls of rodents relate to the evolution of their immensely complex feeding systems that have been utilized in a striking array of functional roles from herbivory to carnivory? In this project, a student will have the opportunity to test various predictions in this system, including their own, by collecting morphometric data from the skulls of rodents to quantify functional morphology and look for patterns of developmental covariation. The intern will learn to to acquire and analyze morphometric data and will work within the Field Museum Mammal Collection, utilizing the vast numbers of specimens. Students with interests in paleomammalogy, mammal evolution, and use of scientific collections are encouraged to apply.

NOTE: I've only translated any gameplay-related info
- Pressing the D button will randomly select one among 6 types of equipment/modes for her staff. After selecting, various techniques corresponding to the staff mode can be used (with certain restrictions).
- The following staff mode is notified at the bottom through the symbol next to the word NEXT
- At the beginning of the match she doesn't carry any staff with her (probably meaning that you have to press D to make it appear)
- Everytime you push D with the equipped staff the number of times you can use the associated technique will decrease until the staff disappears becoming unequipped.
- Pressing the D button again once the staff has disappeared will make it appear again with the next type of equipment.
The type of magic equipment are:
- Bomb (6 times)
- Neko (5 times)
- Bin (4 times)
- Hammer (3 times)
- Missiles (3 times)
- Frying Pan (4 times)
Character's Features:
- Good speed, good airdash
- Her airdash covers a lot of range, giving her the possibility of comfortably attacking in the air without falling easily on the ground
- Since her attacks with her staff don't have a long reach, her special projectile moves do the job of covering long range fighting instead.
- Since her special moves are controlled randomly, she is a character that heavily depends on the situation she's in (TLnote: I guess it's referring to what power she has equipped, position, situation etc)
Special Moves
- Dream Sally (214A/B/C)
- Swallow Moon (j.236C)
- Mami Circular (236B)
- Air Persia (236A - also executable in air) - followups A/B/C (up to three times) - tramples down the opponent from above with her pogo stick; the followups change the landing place, while the C followup is an aerial ender that earns more damage and okizeme.
- Dramatic Sammy (41236D) - command grab: searches for the opponent while ground-dashing; grabs and imprisons the opponent inside a "heart" and blows it off. 1500 Damage.
- Mystique Momo (214D, when weapons are equipped)
- Foreign Melody (22C on knocked down opponent); it might be possible to push the opponent towards the corner from the slide down
Distortion Drives
- Miracle Jeanne (236236D)- install super, the staff is equipped with "enhanched magic", can only be used once and when it wears off the staff is unequipped
- Cure Dot Typhoon (632146C)
Astral Heat
- 236236C (looks like Nanoha's Starlight Breaker)

Blues forward Chris Porter has agreed to terms on a two-year, one-way contract extension, the club announced today.
Porter, who will turn 29 in May, was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
The one-way deal is of much significance for Porter, an undrafted winger out of the University of North Dakota who was signed as a free agent in 2007. Over the past seven years, he has had four two-way agreements with the club, in which he makes a minor-league salary when assigned to Peoria of the American Hockey League.
Under his new contract, Porter will be guaranteed an NHL salary. The deal will pay him $650,000 in 2013-14 and $700,000 in 2014-15.
Porter has been a reliable player on the shuttle from Peoria to St. Louis, which includes 10 assignments to the Rivermen in his career. In 272 games in the AHL, he has 41 goals and 112 points, and in 113 NHL games, playing a grinder role for the club, he has nine goals and 18 points.

Necrotizing enterocolitis is the death of tissue in the intestine. It occurs most often in premature or sick babies.
Necrotizing enterocolitis occurs when the lining of the intestinal wall dies and the tissue falls off. The exact cause of this disorder is unknown. It is thought, however, that a drop in blood flow to the bowel keeps the bowel from producing mucus. The mucus protects the gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria in the intestine may also be a cause.
Most of the time, this problem develops in an infant that is ill or premature. It is likely to occur while the infant is still in the hospital.
Babies at higher risk of the condition include:
Symptoms may come on slowly or suddenly, and may include:
Treatment for a baby that may have necrotizing entercolis include:
The infant will need surgery if there is a hole in the intestines or inflammation of the abdominal wall (peritonitis).
In this surgery, the doctor will:
The bowel is reconnected after several weeks or months when the infection has healed
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a serious disease. About 1 in 4 infants die from it. Early, aggressive treatment helps improve the outcome.
Get emergency medical care if any symptoms of necrotizing enterocolitis develop. Infants that have been hospitalized for illness or prematurity are at higher risk and should be watched for this problem.

Friday 3 May 2013
Technology start-ups in the UK are highly optimistic about their prospects for 2013, a new study has suggested.
Some 83 per cent of company leaders surveyed by Silicon Valley Bank said they anticipate positive business conditions this year.
Among those questioned, 66 per cent reported that business conditions had improved in 2012 compared to 2011 and 73 per cent met or exceeded revenue targets last year.
Of UK start-ups earning revenue, nearly half expect their company to be profitable this year - compared to a mere 26 per cent who said the same in the US.
This bodes well for people considering starting a business in the UK's fast-growing technology sector.
Joshua March, co-founder and chief executive of start-up social media business Conversocial, said the tech scene in London has "evolved dramatically" in the past five years.
"One of the most exciting changes is how much easier it is to hire great developers than just a few years ago," he stated.
"Undertakings like Silicon Milkroundabout and the Tech City initiative, backed by so much government and press support, have turned start-ups into a viable career path."
The study found that hiring is "a key priority" for UK-based start-up businesses, with nine out of ten looking to recruit new staff. Some 77 per cent said that finding workers with science, technology, engineering and maths skills is critical to the success of their business.
However, many small firms believe there is still a need for greater government support.
More than half (56 per cent) want greater access to government grants and funds designed specifically for start-ups, while 52 per cent would like to see tax reforms.
"The tech start-up sector is thriving, with one in five businesses beating their revenue targets for 2012, and another strong year predicted for 2013," said Bindi Karia, vice-president at Silicon Valley Bank. "The flipside is that many executives have concerns around how they should fuel the next level of growth, since access to funding and talent are cited as challenges for many start-ups.
"Nevertheless, these are exciting times for the UK tech scene. Executives are optimistic and working hard to develop the 'next big thing'."

The College News r-616 VOL. XXV, No. 14 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1939 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1t39 PRICE 10 CENTS V- f Martha Graham Evokes History In New Dance Frontier is Most Effective, Least Pretentious Part Of Program DEEP SONG FAILS BY INTELLECTUALITY Goodhart, February 28.�As the fourth of the College Entertainment Series, Martha Graham and her com- pany presented four dances in the controversial and modern style she has done so much to establish. Three of the dances were solos by Miss Graham. The fourth was the elabor- ate American Document, a dance se- quence performed by the entire group. Miss Graham opened with Sara- bande, a delicate satire on court danc- ing by Lehman Engel. It was base? the course of the play, on the selection of certain typical ^actions or gestures: the lifted arm, K. Hepburn Appears f In New Barry Play theatre Guild Comedy Offers Playwright and Actress in Engaging Mood The Theatre Guild has produced in Philip Barry's The Philadelphia Story a play that should be successful on Broadway. Although it is rough in spots this does not mar the excellent performance of Katharine Hepburn or the good impression the play makes as a whole. Reminiscent of Mr. Barry's Holiday which starred Miss Hepburn in the movie version, The Philadelphia Story deals with one of those fabu- lous heiresses who prefers money and the spirit of fun to money and snob- bery. Two hard-working reporters represent the base class which lives for the finer things in life and has no family tree to speak of. Naturally they succumb to Miss Hepburn's charm and vigorous personality in the slow bows and the stately pacing movements. These, were then exag- gerated by Miss Graham to the point of burlesque and absurdity. She held her lifted arm straight and stiff in the air with her relaxed hand dan- gling from it foolishly. When she bowed, she got down with calm, de- liberate elegance and fairly wallowed on the floor. Her sarcasm was ob- vious and a little superficial, but it provided the good-humored and eas- ily intelligible opening that was needed. The dance's heartlessness and artificiality, too, was probably in- tended to contrast with the intensity and passion of the second number, Deep Song, by Henry Cowell. Deep Song, according to the pro- gram note, "was not meant to be i an exact picture of a Spanish woman but presents the torture of mind and body experienced in common by all people who react to such suffering as the Spanish people have faced." Miss �Graham's own personal reaction to her theme was so apparent tfcat it seems brutal to criticise such sincerity and feeling. Also, any attempt to res- cue the dance from the archaic and the trivial, and make it again the in- strument of truly popular feeling, is a praiseworthy effort, whether it suc- ceeds or fails. Nevertheless, we our- selves feel that in this case it has failed. The failure was not caused by any lack of intensity or skill; it re- ". suited, simply from the unsuitability of the subject to the style of inter- pretation. Martha Graham's dancing is primarily intellectual and subtle. The suffering of the Spanish people Continued on Page Three As Tracy Lord, the unpredictable divorcee, who remarries her former husband in preference to a more stable suitor, Miss Hepburn proves again that her strong point is comedy, in which field she can take on all comers. One of her best scenes is in the first act wherein she turns the tables on the press and beats them at their own game, "two to one in favor of the home team." She get the maxi- mum humor out of her lines without losing any of her grace and poise. Her drunk scene is a masterpiece, al- Continued on Pago Two U. S. Policy Toward Loyalists Discussed Peace Council Votes to Press Repeal of Spanish Embargo By Congress Denbigh Showcase, February 27.� A meeting of the Peace Council was called to discuss and vote on the sug- gestion of the A. S. U. that the Coun- cil take appropriate steps to inform Congress that it is in favor of lifting the United States embargo on Spain. This embargo is the result of spe- cial neutrality legislation. The Span- ish Crisis was not covered by the original neutrality legislation, only applicable where war has been offi- cially declared. The lifting of the embargo would enable the Loyalist side to obtain munitions from the United States in either Loyalist or chartered foreign ships as the United States would not be empowered to ex- port munitions in American bottoms.

Harz Tortnighdy Philistine' Finds Five Females Forming First Philosophical Fight Forum "To all Graduates, Fellows, and Hearers, to '98, '99, and 1900, and our new freshman class, above all to our august Faculty and President: Greeting!" Thus the Fortnightly Philistine opens its first editorial for the year 1897-98. The first news re- view <5f the college, founded in 1894, the Philistine included an editorial, book and play reviews, and contribu- tions from students. Typical is a fictionalized account of Bryn Mawrters' reactions to a hockey game in which they had just been beaten. Editorials are filled with sage ad- vice: to the freshmen, not to begin bluffing until they are juniors; to all, to get up -�arly rather than stay up after midnight, and to study for ex- aminations in small groups because it is well known that memorizing is best done by repeating aloud. The Philistine also urges consideration of the difficult probjem, "when may a freshman call an upperclassman by her last name." It concludes, some- what ambiguously, with the encour- agement, ./'fight on, little sisters." We were particularly drawn to the frankness of one essay on "the Debat- ing Club." It began, "In the philoso- phy class last year there were five students who wanted to understand their work"�and they formed a de- bating club. | The Freshman Play of 1897 gives evidence of serious intentions, though veneered in the pastoral form: "We find our flocks insipid and our shepherd songs a bore, This educated chorus, We've a great career before us, And nothing shall restore us - To our simple way." A note of doubt also creeps in at intervals. In a sketch entitled the First Ball, the author says that tnjs occasion is just as exciting for the college girl as for "the true debutante who spends all her winter's energies in similar dissipations." However, af- ter describing the happy evening, the author suggests that her heroine is perhaps "sorry for the first time in her life that she is a college girl." Again, there is a description of a 12 o'clock class in which everyone is on the verge of sleep, including the lecturer. - , Already, in its first years, the Continued en Pa** Three P.W.Bridgman's Manifesto Hit By Professors Anderson, Weiss Deplore Limitation of Freedom Of Inquiry Mr. Anderson of the economics de- partment and Mr. Weiss of the phil- osophy department made independent protests in their classes against Pro- fessor Percy W. Bridgman's "mani- festo," which appeared in the New York Times last Friday. Professor Bridgman <lgc*rh*<l in his individual capacity to close his laboratory to visitors from totalitarian states, since these states have perverted scientific knowledge to serve their own pur- poses. Mr. Weiss made the following an- nouncement to his classes: "Should there be any who is a citizen of or is sympathetic with totalitarian states, I vouch that I shall do all in my power to teach them to the best of my ability in the fields in which I am competent." v^-" Mr. Anderson devoted an entire lec- ture hour to a discussion of the im- plications of Professor Bridgman's statement. He considers it extremely dangerous, especially since it comes from one of the most eminent scien- tists in America. If Professor Bridg- man's example is followed, the prin- ciple of denying knowledge to citizens of totalitarian states may be extended infinitely to other realms of knowl- edge. "Though as an individual Pro- fessor Bridgman has a right to ex- clude whomever he pleases from his laboratory, he has himself paved the way through his public statement for the application of totalitariaa princi- ples. He has, says Mr. Anderson, placed himself in a paradoxical situ- ation, because while defending free scientific experimentation and con- demning the totalitarian practice of restriction, he is threatening restric- tion as his personal policy. Professor Gauss' expression of ap*- proval in Saturday's Times, says Mr. Anderson, is a plain misinterpretation of the original manifesto. Professor Gauss has emphasized the idea that Continued on Page Three Democracy Requires Freedom of Thought Judge Allen Says Bill of Rights Assures Personal Liberty Of Expression Goodhart, February 27.�In her fourth lecture Judge Florence E. Allen discussed The Bill of Rights which is contained in the" first ten amendments to the Constitution. "The fundamental basis of democ- racy," she said, "is freedom of thought." The guarantee of freedom of thought contained in the Bill of Rights finds its fullest and most far- reaching expression in the first amend- ment. Along with the great documents of our history this amendment should be remembered. It springXfrom the de- sire of those who founded this nation that the truth shall always remain free. It is a great landmark "which points us, as Americans, to the truth, which, if we care, we might now be seeking." |(he first amendment does more thw^express an attitude or state a provision regarding personal liberty. It draws a line of individual right over which Congress may not step: "Congress shall make no law respect- ing an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

With th� aid of the powers of heaven, hell and the Western Union they kept their audience delighted for the evening with a light-headed review of campua characters in parody. Everybody had a good time. Th� audience was maintained at a pitch of raucous hilarity, star talent was brought to light, the animal song was safely preserved from the sopho- mores and the animal was without doubt the most climactic on record. A young fortune was realized by the posters, and several songs were in- troduced that may anticipate years of service about the college dining halls. One of the five faculty men who attended legally (courtesy w your newspaper) pronounced it the best entertainment he had witnessed at Bryn Mawr There was plot, in among the songs and parodies, that possessed more unity than, susally expected in-a mu- sical show. It seems that a typical* smoking room group (predominantly Merion) were blaspheming in typical undergraduate' fashion, saying that heaven was all there remained to anti- cipate after typical Midyears.

S. U. Maintaining that removal of the embargo can still save demo- cratic Spain, Betsey Dimock, '41, president of the A. S. U., urged all present to write to their senators demanding its repeal. President Roosevelt is believed to oppose the embargo, but does not feel that the country is behind him. Lily Ross Taylor, professor of Latin, concluded her address to the meeting with an appeal that we aban don the un-neutral position which the embargo forces upon us, and align ourselves on the side of democracy. While it prevents direct aid to Loyal- ists, the embar||o facilitates continued ierman and Italian support to Na- tionalist Spain. In discussing the course of the war, Miss Taylor stated that government- controlled Italian papers continue to demand political, as well as military, victory. They speak of the coming rejuvenation of Spanish civilization in other parts of the world. Miss Taylor believes that this is a direct threat to democracy in South Amer- Continued on Pace Pour I Versatility, Ability to Type, and 'Sixth Sense' Stressed As Qualifications Common Room, Feb. 27.�Frank Arnold, consultant of broadcast ad- vertising, discussed in his talk here the opportunities for" women in the fields of publishing, advertising and radio broadcasting. Mr. Arnold point- ed out that the number of women employed in each of these fields in- creases yearly and specified as to what chances particular departments within each field offered, how much they paid and how to get in them. For entrance into any of these pro- fessions, Mr. Arnold emphasized the necessity of typing ability, the need, almost as requisite, for a rudimen- tary knowledge of shorthand and the willingness to start anywhere within an organization without hopes of a high paid job. Nowadays, since there is an increasing tendency to advance people from one department to another rather than resorting to outside sources, Mr. Arnold feels that the importance of being sure "to get on Vie payroll," despite the acceptability of the first job, cannot be overempha- sized. In the publishing field the most numerous opportunities for women are offered in magazine departments; in the advertising business the posi- tion of copy writer has become in- creasingly important since more and more advertising is done by women with a view to women buyers; while in the radio broadcasting field rela- tively few women have as yet obtained the more important executive posi- Cor'lnuea on Tmgm Tw�

Lecturer Donna Johnston-Blair was honored at the 2014 Hispanic Business Students Association's Annual Professor Appreciation Dinner. Of the many events hosted by the HBSA each year, the Faculty Appreciation Dinner aims to give members the opportunity to build positive student-teacher relationships with their professors.
Established in 1976, the Hispanic Business Student Association is committed to bringing out the best in its members and preparing them for success in the corporate world.
Lecturer Bob George served as the chairman of the AICPA National Oil & Gas Conference held November 18-19th in Denver, Co. The conference, co-sponsored by the Professional Development Institute(PDI), enjoyed record attendance this year as CPAs and finance professionals gathered to learn about the financial, legislative and political issues facing the oil and gas industry.
As Director of Energy Programs & Conference for PDI, Bob also co-chaired the National Oil & Gas Royalty Conference in Houston in November. According to PDI, the National Oil & Gas Conference is recognized as one of the best places "to obtain information about rules, regulations, court decisions, activities of various organizations and current practices and developments that assure participants an up-to-date understanding of royalty determination and payment."
Since 1973, PDI has provided education, information and training at the University of North Texas.
Our faculty shined at this year's American Accounting Association's (AAA) annual Meeting, held in Atlanta, Ga. Bill Kinney, Lisa Koonce and Lillian Mills were all honored for their achievements in accounting education and research.
The Ohio State University honored Bill Kinney's contributions to the field of accounting, inducting him into The Accounting Hall of Fame. An exemplary researcher and revered mentor to students and colleagues, Professor Kinney has led in the development of research on auditing and related accounting phenomena for almost fifty years. His research brought new vitality and scholarly interest to a key domain of the accounting profession.
The Accounting Hall of Fame was established at The Ohio State University in 1950 for the purpose of honoring accountants who have made or are making significant contributions to the advancement of accounting since the beginning of the 20th century.
John Robinson, the C. Aubrey Smith Professor of Accounting, was announced as President-elect of the American Taxation Association (ATA), the esteemed and long-standing tax section of the AAA. He begins his term officially next August 2015 and will serve through 2015-2016, hosting the ATA mid-year meeting. John is a thought leader in tax education and respected throughout the accounting research community as a scholar and doctoral mentor. As President, John will enjoy even stronger relationships with key stakeholders, and lead the association to continued excellence in research and teaching.
AAA also honored Lillian Mills, Accounting Department Chair and Wilton E. and Catherine A. Thomas Professor of Accounting, with the Ray M. Sommerfeld Outstanding Tax Educator Award. This award was given in recognition of her contributions to both research and education, specifically noting her lengthy list of publications, strong relationship with the IRS and other governmental groups, and her history of service to the academic community.
Ray M. Sommerfeld served as a faculty member at McCombs for 30 years and was also a founding member of the American Tax Association (ATA). Established to recognize, honor and reward outstanding contributions by a faculty member teaching taxation, the Sommerfeld Award was created by the ATA in remembrance of Ray and the innovations he brought to taxation education.
Professor Lisa Koonce, Deloitte and Touche Endowed Chair in Accounting, received the 2014 AAA Innovation in Accounting Education Award for her work with a task force to develop a visual representation of accounting. Working with a visualization expert, the task force explored society's perceptions of accounting versus the task force member's actual experiences in accounting. From this and the input of others, they created a poster describing the importance of accounting to all aspects of business.
The Innovation in Accounting Education Award is intended to encourage innovation and improvement in accounting education by recognizing significant programmatic changes or a significant activity, concept, or set of educational materials. Winners receive $5,000, funded by the Ernst & Young Foundation, announcement of the award in the Fall Accounting Education News and the winning innovation will be eligible for publication in Issues in Accounting Education as a scholarly article.
Two McCombs Ph.D. graduates, Jennifer Brown, Ph.D. '08, and Lisa De Simone, Ph.D. '13, were recognized for outstanding papers. Brown, currently an assistant professor at Arizona State University, was awarded the ATA Tax Manuscript Award for her January 2011 paper, "The Spread of Aggressive Corporate Tax Reporting: A Detailed Examination of the Corporate-owned Life Insurance Shelter," published in The Accounting Review. The paper is based on her dissertation, chaired by Robinson. De Simone, currently an assistant professor at Stanford, received the ATA/PWC Outstanding Dissertation Award and the Outstanding International Accounting Dissertation Award given by the International Accounting Section of the AAA for her paper chaired by Mills, "Does a Common Set of Accounting Standards Affect Tax-Motivated Income Shifting for Multinational Firms?"
Our own Bill Kinney has been inducted into The Ohio State University's Accounting Hall of Fame this Monday during the American Accounting Association's 2014 Annual Meeting. The Hall of Fame has been recognizing giants in accounting since 1950.
The Accounting Hall of Fame was established at The Ohio State University in 1950 for the purpose of honoring accountants who have made or are making significant contributions to the advancement of accounting since the beginning of the 20th century. Through 2013, 91 leading accountants from the United States and other countries have been elected to the Hall of Fame.
While selection to the Hall of Fame is intended to honor the people so chosen, it is also intended to be a recognition of distinguished service contributions to the progress of accounting in any of its various fields. Evidence of such service includes contributions to accounting research and literature, significant service to professional accounting organizations, wide recognition as an authority in some field of accounting, advancement of accounting education, and public service. A member must have reached a position of eminence from which the nature of his or her contributions may be judged.
Elections to the Hall of Fame are made by a Board of Nominations consisting of up to 50 eminent accountants from each of the following three groups: public accountants, educators, and industrial and governmental accountants. The presentation of the certificate usually takes place at the annual meeting of the American Accounting Association.
The Chairman of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB), Tom Allen, announced today that Michael H. Granof and D. Scott Showalter have been reappointed to the Board. Michael's second five-year term began on July 1, 2014 and will conclude on June 30, 2019.
An Appointments Panel—composed of the FASAB chairman, the three federal FASAB members, and three individuals representing the American Institute of CPAs and the Financial Accounting Foundation—advises the FASAB Sponsors on appointments and re-appointments for the six nonfederal members of the Board. The Sponsors—Jacob Lew, the Secretary of the Treasury; Brian Deese, the Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget; and Gene L. Dodaro, the Acting Comptroller General of the United States, made the final appointments.
Dr. Granof is the Ernst & Young Distinguished Centennial Professor of Accounting and a University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Granof also serves as a member of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Regarding the appointments, Chairman Allen said, "I look forward to continuing to work with both Michael and Scott on the Board. Michael's understanding of financial reporting for both government and non-governmental entities combined with his service on the GASB ensure he will provide valuable insights to the Board. Scott, a recognized leader in the field, brings a depth of knowledge of both audit and accounting issues rarely seen. I am pleased that both Michael and Scott will continue to support the Board in its work on critical federal financial reporting issues."

Good product
Flip Flops on the Beach Rectangle Invitations I would have given this product 5 stars, but there are a couple of limitations. The main one is that the photo you add must be square, but no one takes square photos. It would be nice if this was a little more flexible. Also, I expect attention to detail. To counteract the square photo, we filled the photo in on both sides with colored rectangles. We attempted to match the color and it looked perfect on the screen. When it was delivered, we could tell the color difference. We think the printer should have caught this and edited it or contacted us.
Absolutely Perfect!!!!
Flip Flops on the Beach Rectangle Invitations I ordered these invitations for my destination wedding in the Dominican, they are so perfectly fitting for my big day! The quality of this product is very high, the paper is very thick and well printed! The picture is very clear! Customer service was excellent to communicate with, and changed anything I wanted! Thank you so much for my perfect wedding invitations, I will defintely recommend you guys to everyone!
Great Product for a Great Price
Flip Flops on the Beach Rectangle Invitations These invitations are so thick and well made. I was very surprised that they came so quickly and look so good. I have not sent them yet, but I am so excited to ship them out to all of my family and friends. They are exactly what I was looking for. I got the matching enclosure cards, labels, and seals. It all looks amazing. I also got the cream colored envelopes. I could suggest these invitations to anyone and everyone looking to have a Hawaiian, beach, or destination wedding. I'm doing a Hawaiian beach theme, so they couldn't get much better than this!
