16666Women Education Medical School Photo archive of women students at Duke University School of Medicine Class of 1950. Consist of 23 original Gelatin silver print black and white photos. 3 x 4 ¼ inches. c. 1940s-1950. Images show students at work in blood banks in labs studying and relaxing between classes. Includes photos of school buildings such a the Medical School entrance in addition to several instructors. Some include handwritten captions giving a little more information such as a picture of the "Class of 1950" with 8 women and 1 man identified: "Bev Helen Belle Monkey Noni Ann Betty Joann Bill". Other captions include names of doctors instructors fellow students and the type of work being done in images such as "Bev - vaccine" and "Beth Bueliner - Blood Bank". Other photos identify the subject as the Media Lab Chemistry Lab working with EKG and studying Hematology blood. Students outside of medical school entrance. Photos of a quick break grabbing a coffee and snack of animal crackers.<br/><br/>Although women had participated in the informal practice of medicine for hundreds of years there were relatively few women studying medicine in the United States at this time. By 1900 only about a dozen medical schools had opened to coeducation and female graduates often found themselves unable to access training hospitals and professional associations. The trailblazing young women in these photos whom we see performing experiments and examining patients bucked the trend of their generation to become doctors. Early images of women in medicine are very rare and a fine addition to a collection. Very good condition. unknown books
1850CAT0126Manual Labor School Shawnee Nation Johnson County Kansas 1850. nk on wove paper: 9 ¾ x 7-3/16 in.; strong creases where folded two small closed tears starting with scattered pinholes to creases. Very Good. The document lists the names and ages of four Creek boys and where letters to their parents are to be sent within the Indian Territory: two to Creek Agency and two to Little River Mission. Verso is written "Post Office for Indian Boys"; it is signed by or possibly addressed to Reverend Edward T. Peery superintendent of the Methodist Shawnee Manual Labor School from late 1844 to around 1850. The boys were presumably students at the school which taught religion basic academic subjects and manual labor farming "mechanics" sewing etc. to Native American children from 1839-1862. <br /> <br /> The school was founded by Reverend Thomas Johnson who supported slavery and used slaves at the school. The school briefly served as the second capital of Kansas Territory when the pro-slavery "Bogus Laws" were enacted in 1855. Superin-tendent reports claimed that the children were enrolled willingly by nearby tribes and that each day the student's time was divided equally between instruction and work. Recent scholarship has focused on the darker realities at the school which was supported by the US government as part of efforts to "civilize" tribes relocating after the Indian Removal Act 1830. <br /> <br /> One boy's father is listed as Robert Buckham at Little River in Creek Nation. Buckham's letters from Indian Territory 1841-1844 are held by Cornell University library in their Native American Collection; the finding aid states that he and his wife were unable to have children and planned to adopt "orphans." <br /> <br /> See also Martha B.

It offered courses in "topography construction of maps navigation fencing ethicks natural theology evidences of Christianity and metaphysicks." Rates for attendance were high and the level of matriculation could not sustain the school. In 1863 Oliver G. Steele wrote "It was the great pet of the city. It was however too expensive for the time failing to reach the great body of our people; and changes of teachers and policy soon brought its career to a close." An act to dissolve the corporation and to provide for the just disposition of the property was passed in 1846.

This transformation of the "sacred musical culture" was brought about through the propagation of musical societies and singing schools in small towns throughout New England <br/><br/> unknown books

Card covers creased. Previous owner stamp "Property of Nicholas A. Parisi" on front flyleaf. Irregular printing quality. Paper browned throughout. Illustrated. Boards. This sammelband contains five items with no proper title page or index. It is a fascinating variety of material that was used for training in the Barrage Balloon School Camp Tyson Tennessee for WWII. <br/><br/>The first item contains 87 leaves plus two indices detailing ground and air based targets likely to be seen by Balloon operators. This item is maddeningly bound out of order with the indices thrown in haphazardly. Part I contains 30 leaves of ground based targets with everything from a British Infantry Tank MK III "Valentine" to the Panzerfampfwagon III a German medium tank to scout cars howitzer and armored cars. Part II contains 57 leaves identifying various aircraft. The index for this part notes this is part of a "Target Recognition Instructors Course" and lists sixty aircraft. We have not taken the time to sort out if the indices are representative of the contents but spot checks conclude a likely correlation. Each leaf contains one or two pages of commentary on the target how to identify it it's characteristics and sometimes conversational assessments of its usefulness.<br/><br/>Item two in this sammelband is titled "Rigging and Fabric Repair Revised Edition" prepared by Clarence Vladimir Capt. C. A. C. Senior Instructor. Apparently created by the Division of Enlisted Specialists Barrage Balloon School Camp David N. C. 2 63 pages plus one plate it is densely written with illustrations throughout.

Contemporary inscription at head of front wrapper "Respects of G. Horton Mobile." A Bostonian who had moved to Mobile as a young man Horton was Mayor of Mobile at this time. Previously he had been an advocate of public education and had served on Mobile's school board. During the Civil War he was jailed for Unionist sympathies. During Reconstruction his advocacy of civil rights placed his life in constant danger.<br/><br/> The Report is a chapter in Alabama's bitter Reconstruction strife. It attacks Dr. N.B. Cloud State Superintendent of Public Instruction who was regarded by unreconstructed Alabamans as a Scalawag for his support of Reconstruction and the Republican Party. The Report also attacks G.L. Putnam whom Cloud had named Mobile's superintendent of education an appointment which other Mobile educators refused to recognize. Cloud brokered a compromise-- for which he lacked authority-- by making Putnam superintendent of Emerson College known as the 'Blue School' a Negro school run by the American Missionary Association. The Report accuses Cloud and Putnam of illegally diverting public funds to the support of the Blue School.<br/>Ellison 1597. OCLC locates five copies as of August 2014 under two accession numbers.

187031292Montgomery 1870. 23 1 blank pp with original printed title wrappers.

The outcome of the case turned on whether the Commissioners were properly established under the laws and Reconstruction Constitution of Alabama.
