Фэрфилдский университет

Фэрфилдский университет (англ. Fairfield University) — американский частный католический университет, руководимый иезуитами. Расположен в городе Фэрфилд, штат Коннектикут. Основан в 1942 году. Является одним из 28 учреждений-членов Ассоциации иезуитских колледжей и университетов США. История и деятельность В 1941 году преподобный Джеймс Долан, будучи членом Общества Иисуса в провинции Новая Англия, получил от епископа Мориса Маколиффа из Хартфордской архиепархии письменное разрешение на создание иезуитской средней школы и колледжа в юго-западной части штата Коннектикут. Университет Фэрфилда был официально основан в 1942 году, когда иезуиты приобрели два смежных поместья семей Брюстера Дженнингса и Уолтера Лашара. Таким образом новый университет стал 26-м иезуитским учебным учреждением в Соединенных Штатах. В том же году преподобный Джеймс Долан, назначил преподобного Джона Макэлени, университета Святого Роберта Беллармина и одновременно — викарием Подготовительной школы колледжа Фэрфилд. А в 1944 году сам Джеймс Долан стал вторым президентом. Затем следующими президентами являлись: 1951—1958 годы − Joseph D. FitzGerald, 1958—1964 годы − James E. FitzGerald, 1964—1973 годы − William C. McInnes, 1973—1979 годы − Thomas R. Fitzgerald. В этот период Фэрфилдский университет активно развивался, в нём появлялись новые учебные подразделения, а в 1970 году учебное заведение стало с совместным обучением, приняв первый женский студенческий набор. Седьмым президентом университета в 1979 году стал Алоизиус Келли, который находился на этом посту дольше всех, руководя школой в течение 25 лет. В этот период были построены десятки новых зданий кампуса, добавлено несколько новых программ бакалавриата и магистратуры, а также увеличен фонд учреждения с менее 2 миллионов долларов в 1979 году до 131 миллиона долларов к 2003 году. В 2004 году следующим президентом стал Джеффри фон Аркс, который до этого работал на руководящих должностях в других иезуитских учреждениях — в Джорджтаунском университете и Университете Фордема. После двенадцатилетнего пребывания в должности фон Аркс объявил, что покинет свой пост в 2016 году. Временно его должность исполнял Линн Бабингтон (Lynn M. Babington), а с 1 июля 2017 года Фэрфилдский университет возглавил Марк Немек, ставший первым президентом-мирянином. До этого он работал деканом Школы непрерывного гуманитарного и профессионального образования Грэма (Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies ) в Чикагском университете. Фэрфилдский университет предлагает степени бакалавра, магистра и доктора в своих академических подразделениях: Колледж искусств и наук Школа-бизнеса Чарльза Долана Техническая школа Школа медсестер Высшая школа образования и смежных профессий Университетский колледж Выпускники Арпайя, Донателла — американская предпринимательница. Нилон, Кевин — американский стендап-комик, актёр кино, телевидения и озвучивания, сценарист. Хорхе Перес-Диас — министр юстиции Пуэрто-Рико в 1991—1992 годах. Уол, Лиз — американская журналистка. Центопани, Эван — американский культурист. См.: выпускники Фэрфилдского университета. Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт Fairfield Athletics website

Morefar Back O'Beyond

Morefar Back O'Beyond is a secretive, little-used private golf course located on 500 acres (2.0 km2) in both Danbury, Connecticut and Southeast, New York. The course can be seen from portions of the Richter Park public course and has garnered local rumor as to its origin and ownership. Course officials do not cooperate with the press seeking information about the facility. It appears the course was established in 1964 (some sources say 1962) by Cornelius Vander Starr who had founded the company later known as AIG over forty years before. His ashes are interred on the fifteenth tee. In 2006, it was owned by Starr International, a Bermuda-based company long associated with AIG and the Starr family. It is currently controlled by Maurice Greenberg, former AIG Chief Executive Officer. Starr International also does not discuss the facility. In 2010, press reports stated the course was owned by the private Back O' Beyond Inc., based in Brewster. It appears memberships are not available to the public and the course may only be used by employees of Starr International. Some companies associated with AIG and the financial sector were able to host functions at the club in the mid-2000s. Sculptures dot the course. The course, a par 69, measures 6748 yards. Edward C. Ryder (d. 1986) and Val Carlson are credited as its designers. Edward C. Ryder is also known for designing the nearby Richter Park Golf Course. The course includes a restaurant and full bar. Walking is not allowed on the course; players must use a cart. The course also has a small driving range. Victor Boyd is the general manager. David Thompson is the course pro. References

Acadian House (Guilford, Connecticut)

The Acadian House is a historic house on Union Street in Guilford, Connecticut. Built about 1670, it is one of Connecticut's oldest surviving houses, notable for its occupation by refugee Acadians following their 1755 deportation from Nova Scotia. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Description and history The Acadian House is located in a residential setting just northeast of the town center of Guilford, on the south side of Union Street near its junction with Market Place. It is a 2+1⁄2-story timber-framed structure, with a gabled roof, large central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is oriented at an angle to the street. It is three bays wide with a central entrance framed with simple moulding and topped by a four-light transom window. The windows on either side of the entrance are placed asymmetrically. The rear slope of the roof extends to the first floor, giving the house a saltbox shape. The chimney has an unusual T shape, the result of a later expansion. The oldest portion of the house was built around 1670 by Joseph Clay. The house has its name because a family of Acadians from Grand Pré settled in it following their 1755 deportation from Nova Scotia.

Ashford Lake

Ashford Lake is a small, shallow, privately owned pond located in the eastern part of the town of Ashford in northeastern Connecticut, along the town's border with Eastford. The pond has an area of 52.6 acres and a maximum depth of approximately 12 feet. Its normal surface elevation is 659 feet above sea level. History Ashford Lake was created in 1949 when an earthen dam was constructed on Goss Brook. On July 17, 2018, an EF0 tornado -- the first tornado to touch down in Windham County since 1992 -- struck Ashford Lake and the surrounding neighborhoods, downing trees, damaging homes, and killing three household rabbits. Description Ashford Lake's inflows consist of intermittent small streams and runoff, along with springs at the bottom of the pond. The pond's waters are held back by an earthen embankment dam on its south shore. Ashford Lake's outlet is Goss Brook, which flows over the dam's spillway and eventually into the Mount Hope River. Recreation Ashford Lake is only accessible to homeowners and their guests. The pond is home to private beaches which can be used by residents. Ashford Lake has no boat launch, but residents may use their own boats as long as electric motors are used. NO GAS Flora and fauna Ashford Lake is home to abundant aquatic vegetation, but most of it cannot be seen from the surface, and thus it poses little negative impacts on recreation. The pond has no invasive plant species. Patches of Sparganium sp. are common along the shore, while Eleocharis acicularis, Isoetes sp., Nuphar variegata and Brasenia schreberi are sparse. A progression of plant species occur with increasing depth. Najas flexilis dominates areas from one to six feet deep, Utricularia radiata occurs in six to nine feet of water and Potamogeton foliosus is present in water from nine to twelve feet. Fish are occasionally spotted in Ashford Lake's waters, such as largemouth bass. References
Broad Street School

The Broad Street School is a historic former school building at 100 Broad Street in Norwich, Connecticut. The school was designed by New York City architect Wilson Potter and built in 1897. It is a well-executed and well-preserved example of Romanesque styling, and was the largest school built as part of a major construction program by the city. The schoolhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. It has been converted to residential use. Description and history The Broad Street School building is located in a residential area north of downtown Norwich, on a lot bounded on the north by Rockwell Street and the south by Broad Street. It is a two-story masonry structure, with a granite foundation, yellow brick exterior with trim elements of brown brick and granite, and slate hip roof. It is T-shaped in layout, with a central block flanked by slightly projecting wings, and a projecting section at the rear. The central block facade is fronted by a project porch with an arcade of round-arch openings topped by a low balustrade. The arches are finished in brown brick, with a brick string course separating the arches from the porch eave. The exterior brick was made in New Galilee, Pennsylvania, by the Beaver Clay Manufacturing Company. The school was built in 1897 to a design by Wilson Potter, a well-known New York City architect who had already executed several commissions for Connecticut school districts. The school exemplified state-of-the-art thinking about school buildings, providing high ceilings with well-lit classrooms, facilities segregated by grade and sex, and indoor plumbing. It was among those featured in a state education commissioner's report in 1902. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in New London County, Connecticut References
Centerbrook Congregational Church

The Centerbrook Congregational Church, also known as the Centerbrook Meeting House, is a historic church at 51 Main Street in the Centerbrook village of Essex, Connecticut. It is a single-story wood-frame structure resting on a granite foundation, which is set on a knoll on the north side of Connecticut Route 153. The main block was built in 1790, making it the oldest known church in Middlesex County and one of the oldest in the entire state. The building added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Centerbrook Congregational Church is prominently located in the village center of Centerbrook, on the north side of Main Street (Connecticut Route 154) east of Deep River Road. It is a single-story frame structure, with a gabled roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. A square tower projects from its five-bay front facade, rising to a belfry stage with louvered round-arch openings and a pyramidal roof. Portions of the tower, and of the main gable are finished in decorative Victorian shingles. The building corners are pilastered, and windows are topped by projecting cornices. The church was built in 1790, but has seen numerous alterations in its long history. Originally a plain rectangular structure, it was given Greek Revival features in an 1839 renovation, and the tower was added in 1889. The 1889 renovations also included a substantial remaking of the interior, which is now nearly entirely late Victorian in style. A two-story addition was added to the rear in 1972, adding space for a parish hall, Sunday school, and kitchen.

Dart Island State Park

Dart Island State Park ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Middletown. Das Gebiet ist nicht erschlossen und nicht markiert und nur per Boot zu erreichen. 1918 schenkte Russell Dart einen Acre Land dem State of Connecticut. Damit war der 15. State Park geboren. Noch 1924 war Dart Island State Park der kleinste State Park in den Vereinigten Staaten. Zunächst wurde die Fläche auf 0,8 Hektar vergrößert (1932, Connecticut Register and Manual), blieb in diesem Umfang aber für die nächsten 80 Jahre. In der Edition des Connecticut Register and Manual von 2012 erschien erstmals die vergrößerte Fläche von 7,7 ha, der heutigen Fläche. Geschichte Dart Island State Park ist eine Sandbank im Connecticut River, wenige hundert Meter nördlich von Hurd State Park. Die Sandbank ist bewaldet mit "typischen Fluss-Bäumen wie Weide, Pappel und Rotahorn." Die Sandbank wurde früher von Blaufisch-Fischern benutzt, die dort einen Unterstand errichteten und ihre Angeln auslegten. Der hickory shad (Alosa mediocris) ist bekannt dafür, dass er in großen jährlichen Wanderungen den Connecticut River hinaufzieht. Der erste Acre Land wurde 1918 von Russell Dart geschenkt. Damit wurde er nach Bolton Notch State Park und Macedonia Brook State Park der 15. State Park von Connecticut und der kleinste State Park in den Vereinigten Staaten 1934 war der Park laut dem State Register and Manual, als das erste Mal die Parks aufgelistet wurden, um einen Acre gewachsen. Middletowns Harbor Management Plan führt aus, dass Dart Island ein State Park nur dem Namen nach ist. Das Department of Environmental Protection sieht keinerlei Erschließung oder Nutzung vor. Dart Island State Park wurde allerdings schon von der Connecticut River Raft Race Inc. als Streckenpunkt des Connecticut River Raft Race, einer Wohltätigkeitsveranstaltung genutzt. Eine der Routen führte von der Arrigoni Bridge zum Dart Island State Park. Freizeitmöglichkeiten Aufgrund seiner Abgelegenheit gibt es kaum Empfehlungen. Zu den möglichen Freizeitaktivitäten zählen Angeln, Vogelbeobachtung und Boot fahren. Der Connecticut River Guide von 1966 berichtete, dass es gute Camping-Stellen gab. Das A to Z of CT State Parks beschreibt den Park nur kurz und vermerkt, dass es keine Bootsrampen in erreichbarer Nähe gibt. An der Oaklum Dock Road ist die nächstgelegene Bootsrampe. Bei der Überprüfung 2012 wurde erwähnt, dass "mit Hilfe von Mückennetzen Sonnenbaden und Grillen auf der Sandbank am Rande des Parks möglich ist… auf einer nicht sonderlich interessanten und verbuscht aussehenden Insel".

Dart Island State Park

Dart Island State Park is a public recreation area comprising an undeveloped 19-acre (7.7 ha) sandbar island in the Connecticut River that is only accessible by boat. The island is within the corporate boundaries of the city of Middletown, Connecticut, its nearest neighbors being the Middletown Generating Station and Pratt and Whitney plant on the river's west bank. The island is wooded with "typical river trees like willow, poplar and red maple." It is managed by Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which lists boating, fishing, and bird watching as activities for visitors. History The sandbar was once used by fishermen who built a shed and equipment for managing fishing lines to harvest the river's hickory shad runs. In 1918, Russell Dart donated the approximately 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) island to the Connecticut State Park Commission. The commission designated it as Connecticut's fifteenth state park and named it for its benefactor. The size of the park was subsequently rounded up to two acres in official publications while being rounded down to one acre when referred to unofficially. In 1924, it was touted, unofficially, as being the smallest state park in the United States, with but a single acre. In 1934, the State Register and Manual, the first annual issue to list parks and their sizes, set Dart Island State Park at two acres, and it remained listed at that size for nearly 80 years. The 2012 edition of the Register and Manual listed the park at 19 acres (7.7 ha), the park's official size. According to Middletown's Harbor Management Plan, Dart Island "is considered undevelopable by the ... State Parks Division, which has no plans for [its] active use or management." Activities and amenities The park may be used for bird watching, boating, and fishing. It is only accessible by water and has no facilities for the public.

Deep River Town Hall

The Deep River Town Hall is located at the junction of Connecticut Routes 80 and 154 in Deep River, Connecticut. Completed in 1893, it is unusual for its distinctively urban styling in a quiet rural suburban community. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1976. Description and history The Deep River Town Hall is located near the southern end of the main village of Deep River, located in a triangular plot on the south side of the junction of Connecticut Routes 80 and 154, with a west-bound one-way street immediately to its south. In contrast to other village architecture, it is a three-story brick building, set up against the sidewalk on the main roads. A single bay faces the intersection, housing the main entrance in an arched recess, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a semicircular transom window. The side elevations are nine bays, divided into groups of three; some of these groups have doors at the center, while others have windows. Upper-level windows are organized as pairs of sash windows topped by half-round transom windows. The building's roof has a projecting cornice lined with modillion blocks. The town of Deep River's previous town hall was located adjacent to its post office, which was destroyed by fire in 1891. This building was constructed as a replacement in 1893, with town offices on the ground floor, and an auditorium space on the upper floors. It is an unusually large structure for an otherwise relatively rural community. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middlesex County, Connecticut References
