Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and Parsonage

The Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and Parsonage is an historic church and parsonage at 6 Sever Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The congregation, founded in 1866, is one of a small number of African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregations in eastern Massachusetts, and is an enduring component of the small African-American community in Plymouth. Its church, built about 1840 as a commercial building and consecrated in 1870, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Description and history The Bethel AME Church is located a short south of Plymouth's downtown Main Street area, on the south side of Sever Street west of Russell Street. It is located in a densely built residential area. The church is a modest 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It exhibits transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling, with corner pilasters, paired brackets in the eaves, and gable end returns. The main facade is symmetrical, with paired sash windows flanking the center entrance. The windows are topped by bracketed projecting cornices and are articulated by narrow pilasters. The entrance is simply framed, and is sheltered by a gabled portico with Doric columns. The parsonage house is a vernacular 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house located about 20 feet (6.1 m) behind the church; it was built in 1895. The church building's construction date is unknown: the lot was empty in 1830, and the building stood there on an 1858 map. It was apparently built for commercial purposes, housing diverse businesses such as gymnasium, shoe shop, and school, prior to its acquisition by the AME congregation in 1870. Plymouth has historically had a small African-American population, which was in 1850 recorded to number 138. Members of this population organized the AME congregation in 1866, meeting in a small converted house on Billington Street. Seeking a larger space, the congregation purchased this building in 1870. Most of the congregation's pastors were either unpaid or little-paid, and many served the congregation only a short time, often supplementing their religious mission with other work.

Beverly School for the Deaf

The Children's Center for Communication/Beverly School for the Deaf (CCCBSD) is a school, established in 1876, for students from birth to age twenty-two who are Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, or hearing with complex communication needs by providing language that is visually accessible via American Sign Language, written English, speech, and AAC/Assistive Technology. History CCCBSD was founded in 1876 by William Benjamin Swett in Beverly, Massachusetts. Mr. Swett was a deaf man with a deaf daughter and saw a need for educational and vocational services for deaf children and young adults of Boston's North Shore. In 1879 with a small legacy and the help of his close friend, the Reverend Dr. Thomas Gallaudet, a 57-acre (230,000 m2) parcel of land was purchased overlooking the tidal waters of the Bass River in Beverly. The school was initially run by the Swett family with Mr. Swett as the Superintendent, and Mrs. Swett as the Matron and 30 students.. Their two daughters, Nellie and Lucy, became teachers and John Bowden, their son-in-law, became the foreman of the Industrial Department. The original name was "The New England Industrial School for the Education and Instruction of Deaf Mutes", usually referred to as the New England Industrial School for Deaf Mutes. Students were taught to talk and taught lip reading, the recommended method of teaching deaf children at the time. They also learned trades such as farming, chair-caning, carpentry, and homemaking. The school's name changed in 1922 from the New England Industrial School for Deaf Mutes to Beverly School for the Deaf and was registered as non-profit. In the 1970s the school expanded to teach children who have learning and developmental disabilities. In 2004, services were extended to students with autism, developmental delays and other disabilities and communication challenges. In 2007, the school transitioned from its 15-year use of Signed Exact English (SEEII) to American Sign Language (ASL), and the name was officially changed to The Children's Center for Communication with Beverly School for the Deaf. Campus The school currently resides on a seven-acre campus with 43,000 square feet of academic space. There are over 20 classrooms, each of which contains an electronic whiteboard and assistive technology devices. There is also a computer learning center, two OT/PT rooms, a music room, two vocational rooms, a life skills center, a student library and an art room. The campus also features a fully accessible playground, a baseball field, two nursing stations, laundry rooms, a full kitchen, a dining hall, conference rooms and a full gymnasium. Community CCCBSD offers numerous programs to the public, such as American Sign Language (ASL) classes, a baby sign group, a toddler sign group, a preschool sign group, and children's sign classes. CCCBSD also offers community outreach services, consultation, outreach to schools, and interpreting. References External links School Website

Масачузетски технологичен институт

Масачузетският технологичен институт (на английски: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, по-известен със съкращението MIT) е американски частен университет в Кеймбридж, Масачузетс, в непосредствена близост до Бостън. Основан е през 1861 г. Университетът е едно от най-елитните висши училища в света в областта на техниката и технологиите. История През 1861 г. щатът Масачузетс взема решение за създаването на „Масачузетски технологичен институт и Бостънско общество за природознание“ (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston Society of Natural History) с ръководител Уилям Бартън Роджърс. Първите курсове започват едва през 1865 г. поради избухналата междувременно Гражданска война в САЩ. Първата постоянна сграда на института е завършена на следващата 1866 г. Тя се намира в бостънския квартал Бек Бей (Back Bay). Към началото на 20-ия век университетът надраства сградите си и използвайки дарение от Джордж Истман, се премества в нов комплекс от другата страна на река Чарлз – в Кеймбридж, където се намира и до днес.

Масачусетски институт технологије

Масачусетски институт технологије (МИТ) (енгл. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)) је приватни истраживачки универзитет у Кембриџу у америчкој држави Масачусетс. МИТ се састоји из 5 школа и једног колеџа са 32 академска одсека. Рад универзитета се базира на научном и техничком истраживању. МИТ је основао Вилијам Бартон Роџерс 1861. као природну подршку наглој индустријализацији САД. Институт је подсећао на немачке и француске политехничке академије, али се МИТ истицао употребом експеримената у настави (принцип: „научи радећи“). За време Другог светског рата стручњаци МИТ-а су допринели развоју рачунара, радара и инерцијалног навођења за војне сврхе. После рата МИТ је проширио своје делатности на друштвене науке (економија, лингвистика, менаџмент). Количина новца коју МИТ добија и троши на научна истраживања је међу највећима од свих универзитета у САД (9,98 милијарди долара 2007). На МИТ-у тренутно ради 998 предавача, а студира 4.127 студената и 6.126 последипломаца. Према подацима из 2021, 98 нобеловаца, 26 добитника Тјурингове награде и 8 добитника Филдсових медаља су повезани са МИТ-ом као алумни, чланови факултета или истраживачи. Поред тога, 58 добитника Националне медаље за науку, 29 добитника националних медаља за технологију и иновације, 50 Макартурових стипендиста, 80 Маршалових учењака, 41 астронаут, 16 главних научника америчког ратног ваздухопловства и бројни шефови држава су били повезани са МИТ-ом. Институт такође има јаку предузетничку културу, а алумни МИТ-а су основали или саоснивали многе значајне компаније. МИТ је члан Асоцијације америчких универзитета (AAU) и добио је више Слоанових истраживачких стипендија и Херцових стипендија него било који други универзитет. Историја Темељ и визија Године 1859, поднет је предлог Општем суду Масачусетса да се новонасуте земље у Бек беју у Бостону користе за „Конзерваториј за уметност и науку“, али предлог није успео. Повељу о оснивању Масачусетског института за технологију, коју је предложио Вилијам Бартон Роџерс, потписао је Џон Албион Ендру, гувернер Масачусетса, 10. априла 1861. године.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, också känt som MIT, är ett amerikanskt privatägt universitet och forskningsinstitut beläget i Cambridge i Massachusetts. Institutionen ligger i närheten av Harvard University, som också ligger i Cambridge. MIT grundades 1861, men de första eleverna kunde inte börja förrän 1865 på grund av det mellankommande amerikanska inbördeskriget. Mottot för skolans arbete lyder Mens et manus, det vill säga ungefär "andens och handens arbete integreras i verksamheten". Undervisningen skulle vara både teoretisk och praktisk. MIT fick stor betydelse för den snabba utvecklingen av industrialismen i USA. Satsningen på vetenskap och teknik låg rätt i tiden och fick efter hand en allt högre status. Ännu viktigare för USA:s ställning som kommande supermakt i efterkrigstiden blev satsningen på modern teknik med bland annat rymdforskningen som den främsta. MIT är framstående inom sina sex verksamhetsområden arkitektur, ingenjörsvetenskap, humaniora, konst, samhällsvetenskap och medicin. Sammanlagt 63 nobelpristagare kommer från MIT (2007). Universitetet anses ett av de mest anrika och prestigefyllda i världen, något som framgår av flertal rankingförfaranden och rapporter av U.S. News & World Report, QS World University Rankings, och Academic Ranking of World Reasearch Council. Sedan 2007 publicerar MIT material från största delen av sina kurser på Internet, under en Creative Commons licens (”CC by-nc-sa”), som tillåter vidare bearbetning och spridning för icke-kommersiella syften. Arbetet som ledde till projektet inleddes 1999, och 2002 publicerades på försök 50 kurser. År 2009 var antalet kurser uppe vid 1 950. Projektet innebär inte fri studie- eller examensrätt av något slag, men ger tillgång till en stor del av det material som skapats för kurserna.
