197052402The Hague: Vrije Academie / Psychopolis 1970. First Edition. Tabloid ca 60cm x 40cm; on newsprint unpaged 46pp chiefly illus. Vertical and horizontal folds as issued; some puckering to paper at intersection of folds; mild toning to fold-lines and extremities but still a complete well-preserved copy easily Very Good. Annual "catalogue" for this experimental art academy in The Hague founded in 1933 as a studio where "vrije" took on a double meaning: ".poor talented students could study without payment.and admissions requirements were not set.anyone could register.there was no set program in which the student should take an exam.education was dominated by personal development and individual expression." In 1968 under the Directorship of George Lampe the institution changed its name to "Psychopolis" and became something of a countercultural mecca a "bustling breeding ground for bohemians and avant-gardists who walked in and out of the classes but where exciting works of art were created." from the Academie's website 2021. Among the legendary faculty at Psychopolis were Jan Sierhuis Wil Bouthoorn Peter Gentenaar Georg Hadeler Jan Snoeck the filmmaker Frans Zwartjes and others all pictured in action here. This unconventional catalogue clearly intended to reflect the gestalt of the institution with minimal interference in the way of hard information is uncommon; not separately catalogued in OCLC KVK or COPAC.

16751Women's Educational Movement. Bradford Female Academy Catalog 1886. A catalog from one of the most important historical female academics. Contains names of current students and an outline of the curriculum. Bradford opened as the first coeducational institution in Massachusetts but due to overwhelming interest from parents of girls with no other options for education Bradford soon transitioned to become the first all-female academy in Massachusetts and among the first in the United States in 1836. Not copy of this item could be found among Institutional and library Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. unknown books

027426See Description: Various. Octavo. There are 10 separate parts approximately 100 pages covering the period from 1827 to 1838 with lists of the professors and medical students; in addition it notes special lectures and in a few cases the specialty of those who received their medical degree. Funding from the Regents was haphazard requiring the medical faculty to depend on being paid by lecture as well as maintaining a practice. The situation was so bad the professors took over the finances trying to guarantee the survival of the school but by 1840 the faculty decided to resign leaving the school to flounder but the New York Academy of Medicine was established in the late 1840's and this put the training for doctors as well as the Professors of Medicine on a sound footing for providing first rate medical studies and practice. What is significant is it represents a relatively complete study of medicine in Western New York. Most of the follow 10 printed catalogues for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District of New York in Fiarfield Herkimer county list all the students and the professors. In addition there are notes of coming lectures on medical topics. Each was printed by a variety of printers in different towns in Herkimer county. 1 Little Falls NY by Edward M.
