19494129Tuskegee Al: Tuskegee Institute 1949. Very good. vi66pp. carbon copy typescript printed on rectos only. Contemporary red buckram gilt spine titles. Minor soiling and edge wear to boards corners bumped. An official copy of Ruth Boatwright's Tuskegee Institute Masters thesis signed by her advisor Robert Reid and two Tuskegee administrators Dean Alonzo Davis and the Chairman of the Graduate Committee R.W. Brown. As usual the thesis includes an introduction literature review background on the topic and a summary with findings. At the outset of the summary Boatwright states that her thesis was intended "to trace the development of visiting teacher services in the United States and in the state of Alabama so that the findings might be of benefit to persons seeking to make possible the expansion of Negro visiting teacher services in Alabama for neglected Negro boys and girls." Among the reasonable findings Boatwright made include that "Negro visiting teachers get better results in dealing with Negro boys and girls than white visiting teachers" and "There are too few Negro visiting teachers in Alabama one worker for every 3000 children."<br /> <br /> The text is supplemented throughout with maps tables and charts; among the supplemental material are questionnaires employed by Boatwright in her research." The work was later privately printed by the author through Vantage Press in 1975.<br /> <br /> OCLC records just one other copy of Boatwright's original thesis retained by Tuskegee and the University of Alabama holds a copy.

194391691Boston: Meador 1943. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 122p. Original green cloth. dj. 20cm. Jacket lightly soiled and has some edge-wear including a 3 cm. tear on rear panel. INSCRIBED by Bernard on front endpaper "New Orleans Louisiana March 23 1957 to A great American Cecil B. De Mills from Ruth Thompson Bernard". Cecil B. De Mille bookplate on front pastedown. Although its status as a novel is dubious pages 106-121 contain "A Love Story" which is a religious anti-gambling tale this book was Listed in Whiteman's "A Century of Fiction by American Negroes 1853-1952." A query on the jacket asks "Shall We Become a Nation of Petty Gamblers" The author presents an anti-gambling argument based in part on biblical sources and including a prayer at the end of each chapter. Chapter XIX is titled "How to Break the Lottery Habit." Bernard thanks Reverend G. W. McWaters in the Preface for ". helpful criticisms and aid in Bible references." We suspect that is Rev. G. W. Waters of New Orleans who was identified in the July 29 1939 issue of The Pittsburgh Courier as having been elected as Superintendent of Missions by the recently-concluded Louisiana State Baptist Convention.

ORIGINALS!".OSME Fine Art :Ruth Bernhard 1905–2006 was a German-born American photographer renowned for her luminous black-and-white nudes and still lifes. Trained in art history and typography in Berlin she moved to New York in the 1920s where she immersed herself in Manhattan’s avant-garde and queer circles before turning to photography full-time. Her breakthrough came with a commission for MoMA’s Machine Art exhibition in 1934. Inspired by her friendship with Edward Weston Bernhard relocated to California and joined the West Coast school alongside Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham. Over seven decades she created iconic works such as Doll’s Head and the celebrated portfolios The Eternal Body and The Gift of the Commonplace. A revered teacher and award-winning artist Bernhard’s photographs are held in major collections including the Getty MoPA San Diego and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Her lifelong exploration of light form and human connection cemented her as one of the twentieth century’s most influential photographic voices. She died in San Francisco at 101.Description:.

In 1949 she met Ansel Adams who like Weston taught Thompson photography while she worked as his assistant. By 1950 Thompson’s photographic work was exhibited and collected by numerous institutions including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Institute of Design in Chicago. In 1952 Thompson earned the Alfred M. Bender Award from the San Francisco Museum of Art.In addition to her career in photography Thompson was a prolific author and lecturer on the history and practice of the medium. Notably in 1952 she co-founded the photography journal Aperture to which she frequently contributed as a writer. Throughout her lifetime she actively worked to preserve the legacy of Edward Weston and the West Coast photographic movement of the 1950s.

A list of Rowland's flight achievements follows the text. Ruth Rowland Nichols February 23 1901 - September 25 1960 was an American aviation pioneer. She is the only woman yet to hold simultaneous world records for speed altitude and distance for a female pilot. While a student at Wellesley College Nichols secretly took flying lessons. Shortly after graduation she received her pilot's license and became the first woman in the world to obtain a hydroplane license. She first achieved public fame in January 1928 as co-pilot for Harry Rogers who had been her flying instructor on the first non-stop flight from New York to Miami Florida. Due to her socialite upbringing and aristocratic family background Nichols became known in the press as the "Flying Debutante" a name she hated. Nichols was then hired as a sales manager for Fairchild Aviation Corporation. In 1929 she was a founding member with Amelia Earhart and others of the Ninety-Nines an organization of licensed women pilots. In August 1929 she and Earhart were among 20 competitors in the Women's Air Derby also known as the "Powder Puff Derby" the first official women-only air race in the United States. They departed from Santa Monica California on 18 August for Cleveland Ohio. Nichols crashed while Earhart finished third in the heavy class. During the 1930s while working for Fairchild and other aviation companies Nichols made several record-setting flights most of them in a Lockheed Electra the New Cincinnati on open loan from millionaire radio industrialist Powel Crosley Jr. In December 1930 she beat Charles Lindbergh's record time for a cross-country flight completing the trip in 13 hours 21 minutes. In March 1931 she set the women's world altitude record of 28743 feet 8760.9 m. In April 1931 in Detroit she set the women's world speed record of 210.7 miles per hour 339.1 km/h. In June 1931 she attempted to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean but crashed in New Brunswick and was severely injured breaking at least two vertebrae in her back. Following her recovery in October 1931 she set the women's distance record with a flight from Oakland California to Louisville Kentucky 1977 miles 3182 km. On 14 February 1932 Nichols set a new world altitude record of 19928 feet for diesel-powered aircraft at Floyd Bennett Field NY while flying in a Lockheed Vega. On 3 November an attempt at breaking Earhart's transcontinental record failed when Nichol's aircraft skidded off the runway at Floyd Bennett Field while taxiing went into a ground loop and was badly damaged as the port wing dug in although the pilot escaped injury. On 29 December Nichols became the first woman pilot of a commercial passenger airline flying for New York and New England Airways. In 1935 Nichols joined the British-based Women's Engineering Society at the time the only organisation in the world for women engineers and pilots. On 21 October 1935 Nichols was critically injured in a crash during a private flight in Troy New York. The flight was to be an airborne wedding for two couples over New York City but the plane a Curtiss Condor registration NC725K crashed shortly after takeoff killing the pilot. Nichols received a broken left wrist ankle and nose contusions burns and "possible internal injuries" according to newspaper accounts of the crash. She was unable to fly for nearly a year after. When she returned to flying Nichols went to work for the Emergency Peace Campaign a Quaker organization that sought to promote peaceful resolution to international conflicts then brewing. In 1939 she headed Relief Wings a civilian air service that performed emergency relief flights and assisted the Civil Air Patrol during World War II. Nichols would eventually attain the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol. Following the war Nichols became involved in other humanitarian efforts using her celebrity to bring attention to causes and to raise funds. She organised a mission of support for UNICEF including piloting a round-the-world tour in 1949. In the 1950s she served as director of women's activities for Save the Children director of the women's division of the United Hospital Fund and field director for the National Nephrosis Foundation. In 1958 after lobbying the United States Air Force for permission she co-piloted a TF-102A Delta Dagger and reached 1000 miles per hour 1600 km/h and an altitude of 51000 feet 15 545 m setting new women's speed and altitude records at age fifty-seven.
