The work cost $4,500, and though this was more than expected, it would seem to be a small price to pay for so fine an auditorium. Occasional paid performances have helped to pay off the initial cost, and it is expected that the theater will soon be free of debt. Elizabethan Theater, Yankton College This enterprise has been made successful largely through the work of Professor George H. Durand, vice-president of the College. Professor Durand's own account of the results is so interesting that I venture to quote from his letters. He says: v The Garden Terrace Theater "merchant Of Venice" And "as You Like It" "We had to depend on income from the theater to gradually pay off the debt. The first season we had bad luck with weather, but made about enough on one main performance, the Shakespeare Play at Commencement, to pay the interest. The second season, just past, we had the Shakespeare Play, one performance, and the Pageant of Yankton, three performances, and netted on the four about $900, which paid up our interest and reduced the principal. We now feel very confident of the enterprise financially. "We aim to give only high class things. Such an attraction as the Coburn Players, which we had last June with good weather and everything favorable, did not yield us any profit, but it made a delightful performance. Mr. Coburn thinks the Garden Terrace Theater is the most beautiful and practicable open-air theater in the country. But we perceive that we must look to our home talent and community affairs to yield us the needful profits. "Our Shakespeare Play is a...

Jens Jensen written by Robert E. Grese and has been published by JHU Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1992 with Architecture categories.
Jens Jensen was one of America's greatest landscape designers and conservationists. Using native plants and "fitting" designs, he advocated that our gardens, parks, roads, playgrounds, and cities should be harmonious with nature and its ecological processes--a belief that was to become a major theme of modern American landscape design. When Jensen died in 1951 at the age of 90, the New York Times called him "the dean of American landscape architecture." In Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens, Robert E. Grese evaluates Jensen's work against the background of landscape design traditions that included Andrew Jackson Downing and Frederick Law Olmsted, as well as earlier movements in Europe. Grese examines Jensen's part in the Chicago cultural renaissance that occurred just prior to World War I, a movement that brought social reform, a new understanding of ecology, organic trends in architecture, and great strides in American literature. Drawing on Jensen's writings and plans, interviews with people who knew him, and analyses of his projects, Grese presents a clear picture of Jensen's efforts to enhance and preserve "native" landscapes. Jens Jensen worked with some of the leading architects of his day--Sullivan and Wright among them--so many of his projects involved the extravagant estates of wealthy entrepreneurs in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and elsewhere. But Jensen also worked on schools, parks, playgrounds, hospitals, institutional homes, and government buildings. Long before environmental activists took over the idea, he foresaw the need to preserve the dunes, forests, prairies, and wetlands native to the Middle West. He championed the network of forest preserves around Chicago, protection of the Indiana Dunes (now a national lakeshore), the state park system in Illinois, and numerous parks in Wisconsin. Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens offers a compelling look at Jensen's visionary work and remarkable career.

The first book-length investigation of a pioneering English professor and theorist at Vassar College, A Feminist Legacy: The Rhetoric and Pedagogy of Gertrude Buck explores Buck’s contribution to the fields of education and rhetoric during the Progressive Era. By contextualizing Buck’s academic and theoretical work within the rise of women’s educational institutions like Vassar College, the social and political movement toward suffrage, and Buck’s own egalitarian political and social ideals, Suzanne Bordelon offers a scholarly and well-informed treatment of Buck’s achievements that elucidates the historical and contemporary impact of her work and life. Bordelon argues that while Buck did not call herself a feminist, she embodied feminist ideals by demanding the full participation of her female students and by challenging power imbalances at every academic, social, and political level. A Feminist Legacy reveals that Vassar College is an undervalued but significant site in the history of women’s argumentation and pedagogy. Drawing on a rich variety of archival sources, including previously unexamined primary material, A Feminist Legacy traces the beginnings of feminist theories of argumentation and pedagogy and their lasting legacy within the fields of education and rhetoric.
