Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School of Mechanic Arts: July, 1897 Primarily, the School of Mechanic Arts is intended for those young men Who expect to enter some one of the mechanical trades, and Who desire a scientific basis for this later work, although it is hoped that in many casesthe stimulus given by the school Will be such that a colle giate course in one of the engineering groups Will be pur sued. Nowhere is there greater difficulty in learning a trade than in the West, Where few manufacturing indus tries are as yet developed. Even if this were not true, the school would offer the surest means of. Attaining future success. For it will give a knowledge of those things Which are intimately connected With mechanical work, but Which cannot be learned in the shop. The school is in no sense a. Trade school, although the' principles of some of the more important mechanical trades are taught. The student obtains a better concep tion of the relative importance of the different mechani cal Operations, and he is enabled to determine what particular branch of mechanical work he can most successfully pursue.

This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture Delivered Before the Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, on Tuesday Evening, March 20, 1855 The Institution over which you preside must enlist in its favor the warmest sympathies of every lover of humanity. Agriculture and the mechanic arts may be regarded as twin sisters, born at the same birth, and co-workers in all that relates to the good of man, his comfort, his refinement, his civiliza tion. Without the first, the last has no active existence, - with out the last, the earth is an unreclaimed wilderness, within whose dense forests no trace of improvement exists. Working perpetually together, they have their type in the Castor and Pollux of the ancient mythology. By their joint labors they reclaim the wilderness, cause the earth to give forth its bless ings, build the populous city, construct the noble ship and freight it for distant ports, and make available in the great work of civilization, the primeval elements of fire, air and water. The. Curse pronounced upon our race, on the expulsion of our great progenitors from the garden, is almost annihilated through the substitution of manual labor by machinery, which seems often, in the complexity and yet perfect accuracy of its opera tions, to be endowed-with the principles of life and motion as inherent in itself, andindependent of the will of man. Nor does the genius which presides over the department of the mechanic arts, confine itself to the fabrication of mechanical instruments and machines devoted to the great purposes of every day life. It springs forth into the boundless fields of the imagination wings its flight through the mists of long past ages, and revivi fies and restores through the magic touch of the brush, the pencil, and the chisel, the dust of the long since dead, and the images of things belonging to the past eternities. The Assyrian in the palaces of Nineveh - Belshazzar trembling at the hand writing on the wall-alexander in his glorious triumphs, and drunken orgies - the Ptolemies in their royal robes, and Cleopa tra who lost Mark Anthony the work To say nothing of the sublime portraitures drawn from sacred sources, it connects the past with the present by exhibiting our own noble and god like ancestors, along side of the liberty-loving men of other ages and of other climes, and crowns the whole with a halo of imperishable glory, by representing on the canvass George Washington of Virginia, surrendering his sword to the Congress at Annapolis, Maryland.

Download or read book The Course of Study in the Mechanic Arts Classic Reprint written by Ethical Culture School and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Course of Study in the Mechanic-Arts The reader will undoubtedly note the use in this course of the term Mechanic-Arts. Although it is not commonly used in this sense it has been adopted, after careful reflection, as the most accurate caption that can be given to that department of manual work that uses the tools of the mechanic. Moreover, throughout the length and breadth of the course in this department, the pupils experience is of the mechanic or artisan type. The term "Mechanic-Arts," therefore, has been adopted as the title for all the manual work that is conducted in the shops of the school. One other introductory word: So brief a statement as that which follows can deal only with the most important and fundamental of those general considerations that have governed the development of the mechanic-arts course in this school.Therefore, much that is generally understood to belong to the forms of manual training under discussion is left to the reader to supply. The mechanic-arts are pre-eminently the tool using arts. Their significance in the school is in direct relation to the part they have played in the development of man and civilization. That this significance is great is clear from the fact that the development of tools and the tool arts is wrapped up in and closely integrated with the development of all human interests, achievements, and endeavors.

Download or read book Penn State written by Michael Bezilla and published by University Park : Pennsylvania State University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chartered in 1855 as an agricultural college, Penn State was designated Pennsylvania's land-grant school soon after the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862. Through this federal legislation, the institution assumed a legal obligation to offer studies not only in agriculture but also in engineering and other utilitarian fields as well as liberal arts. By giving it land-grant status, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania made the privately chartered Penn State a public instrumentality and assumed a responsibility to assist it in carrying out its work. However, the notion that higher education should have practical value was a novel one in the mid-nineteenth century, and Penn State experienced several decades of drift and uncertainty before winning the confidence of Pennsylvania's citizens and their political leaders. The story of Penn State in the twentieth century is one of continuous expansion in its three-fold mission: instruction, research, and extension. Engineering, agriculture, mineral industries, and science were early strengths; during the Great Depression, liberal arts matured. Further curricular diversification occurred after the Second World War, and a medical school and teaching hospital were added in the 1960s. Penn State was among the earliest land-grant schools to inaugurate extension programs in agriculture, engineering, and home economics. Indeed, the success of extension education indirectly led to the founding of the first branch campuses in the 1930s, from which evolved the extensive Commonwealth Campus system. The history of Penn State encompasses more than academics. It is the personal story of such able leaders as presidents Evan Pugh, George Atherton, and Milton Eisenhower, who saw not the institution that was but the one that could be. It is the story of the confusing and often frustrating relationship between the University and the state government. As much as anything else, it is the story of students, with ample attention given to the social as well as scholastic side of student life. All of this is placed in the context of the history of land-grant education and Pennsylvania's overall educational development. This is an objective, analytical, and at times critical account of Penn State from the earliest days to the 1980s. With hundreds of illustrations and interesting vignettes, this book is a visually exciting and human-oriented history of a major state university.

Book excerpt: "This book is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940, and collected extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them. By reconstructing as complete a picture as possible of this group of women, Green and LaDuke reveal insights into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked." "The book contains an extended introductory essay, as well as biographical entries for each of the 228 women in the study. The authors examine family backgrounds, education, careers, and other professional activities. They show that there were many more women earning PhD's in mathematics before 1940 than is commonly thought." "The material will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students in mathematics, history of mathematics, history of science, women's studies, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
