Wellesley College

Wellesley College – prywatny żeński college sztuk wyzwolonych w Wellesley w stanie Massachusetts. Należy do tzw. Siedmiu Sióstr (Seven Sisters): siedmiu najbardziej prestiżowych szkół żeńskich na Wschodnim Wybrzeżu Stanów Zjednoczonych, uważanych za żeński odpowiednik Ligi Bluszczowej (Ivy League). Historia Wellesley Female Seminary (Żeńskie Seminarium w Wellesley) powstało w 1870 w Needham w stanie Massachusetts dzięki Henry’emu i Pauline Durant, filantropom zaangażowanym w sprawę edukacji kobiet. W 1873 zmieniono nazwę szkoły na Wellesley College, a w 1881 Needham stał się miasteczkiem Wellesley. Pierwszą dyrektorką Wellesley Female Seminary była Ada Howard, absolwentka Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Z 314 pierwszych studentek tylko 18 ukończyło studia po czterech latach nauki. Od początku swego istnienia uczelnia szczyci się wysokim poziomem nauczania. Posiada jedne z najstarszych w Stanach Zjednoczonych laboratorium fizyczne i laboratorium psychologiczne. W 1914 w College Hall wybuchł pożar i szybko się rozprzestrzenił. Budynek, którego budowa zajęła cztery lata, spłonął w cztery godziny. Nie było ofiar dzięki temu, że studentki przeszły wcześniej przeszkolenie, jak postępować w razie pożaru. W 2019 Wellesley College zajął trzecie miejsce na liście najlepszych szkół sztuk wyzwolonych w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Absolwentki Wśród wybitnych absolwentek znalazły się działaczki polityczne Hillary Rodham Clinton i Madeleine Albright, Katharine Lee Bates – autorka America the Beautiful, dziennikarki Cokie Roberts i Diane Sawyer, pisarka Nora Ephron, astronautka Pamela Melroy, dziennikarka Marjory Stoneman Douglas, psycholożka Anna Baetjer, przyszła żona Czang Kaj-szeka Song Meiling, chińska pisarka Bing Xin, oraz agentka i łowczyni talentów Kay B. Barrett. Przypisy

Коледж Веллслі

Коледж Веллслі (англ. Wellesley College) — жіночий коледж вільних мистецтв, відкритий 1875 року. Його місія нині — «надати відмінну освіту в галузі вільних мистецтв жінкам, які матимуть вплив у світі». Девіз коледжу «Не приймати служіння, а служити» (лат. Non Ministrari sed Ministrare) відображає цю місію. Розташований у місті Веллслі, штат Массачусетс (12 миль на захід від Бостона). Навчання в коледжі триває 4 роки і закінчується видачею диплома бакалавра. Цей заклад також входить до групи Семи сестер. Одночасно в ньому здобувають освіту близько 2300 студенток. Групи в коледжі складаються з 12-14 студенток, а відношення числа студенток до числа викладачів становить приблизно 9:1. Бібліотека коледжу містить понад 1,5 млн книг, журналів, медійних записів, карт і інших об'єктів зберігання. У коледжі діє спеціальна програма з надання освіти жінкам, які з тих чи інших причин не змогли здобути диплом бакалавра. Цей коледж спільно з Массачусетським технологічним інститутом досліджувався Бенсоном Снайдером в його роботі «Приховане університетське життя» (1970), у якій автор доходить висновку, що безліч вимог, які дуже складно виконати, і очікувана віддача від студенток заважають останнім творчо мислити і незалежно розвиватися. Протягом тривалого часу з коледжу Веллслі виходило більше жінок, що досягли значних кар'єрних успіхів, ніж з будь-якого іншого навчального закладу. Див. також Фарахназ Іспахані — випускниця коледжу.

Black Tavern

The Black Tavern is a historic tavern at 138-142 Dudley Center Road in Dudley, Massachusetts. The main block of the tavern was built c. 1803, and is one of the town's finest examples of Federal period architecture. It originally housed a major stop on the stagecoach route between Boston, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut. It is now maintained by a local preservation organization, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In 2010 the listing was expanded to include the adjacent barn and annex, which the society acquired in 2000. Description and history The Black Tavern is located in the town center of Dudley, at the northeast corner of Dudley Center and Tanyard Roads, just north of the Nichols College campus. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main block is five bays wide, with a center entrance framed by symmetrically placed sash windows. A two-story ell extends to the left side, with a four-bay facade. A single-story porch extends across the full width of both of these sections. The main entrance has a finely detailed Federal period surround, including fluted pilasters and a half-round transom window. Dudley was about halfway between Boston and Hartford, Connecticut, and was a major stopping point on the stagecoach route. The tavern was built about 1803–04 by Hezekiah Healy, and served both the transient stage traveler as well as local residents. The building was given its name after Healy supposedly decided to paint it black, reasoning that that color required less maintenance. The building was extended by an ell to the rear in 1810 and another to the left side in 1835. The porch running across its front that was added c. 1890. In the 20th century the building was used by nearby Nichols College as a dormitory until 1980, after which it was given to the Black Tavern Society, a local nonprofit established to preserve the structure.

Bliss Building

The William H. Bliss Building is an historic apartment building at 26 Old Lincoln Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1888, the four story brick building is one of the few remnants of a once larger development of apartment blocks north of Lincoln Square; most of the other period apartment blocks in the area were demolished by highway development or urban renewal processes. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Description and history The Bliss Building is set amidst a collection of wide city streets, hemmed in on the west by the major intersection of Lincoln and Salisbury Streets, and a railroad line and Interstate 290 to the east. It faces east toward Old Lincoln Street, once the main alignment of Lincoln Street, which runs northeast from downtown Worcester toward West Boylston. The building is a rectangular four-story masonry structure, fashioned out of red brick with sandstone trim. Its main facade has a stone water table between the basement and ground floors, and three asymmetrically-placed windows on each side of its recessed entrance. The entrance opening is flanked by stone pilasters and topped by a stone segmented arch. The first floor windows have stone sills joined by a stringcourse of stone, and a second stringcourse connects the windows just below the stone lintels. The upper floors have six windows, divided into groups of two by brick pilasters. A corbelled brick stringcourse joins the second-floor windows, and the center pair of windows on the third floor have segmented-arch tops. A band of corbelled brickwork separates the fourth floor from a parapet containing a stone panel identifying the building. The building was constructed in 1888 to a design by Barker & Nourse, local architects. It was built for William Bliss, a local real estate developer. The Lincoln Square area where it stands was originally lined with similar buildings, but it is now one of the only ones left after urban renewal resulted in the demolition of the others.

Formerly home to the Worcester Fire Department's Engine Company 6, the building was built in 1895–96. It is a well-preserved example of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styling. The building served as a firehouse until 2008, when it was replaced by a new station, located at 266 Franklin Street, the site of the well-known Worcester Cold Storage and Warehouse Co. fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It has been converted into a private residence. Description and history The former Bloomingdale Firehouse is located in central Worcester, at the southwest corner of Franklin and Plantation Streets. Both are arterial roads, and are predominantly residential in the immediate area. The station is a 2+1⁄2-story structure, built out of yellow brick, and covered with a steeply pitched roof. The first floor is fashioned out of rusticated brick, while the upper floor is of dressed brick. The front of the building has two vehicle bays, above which are two groups of three windows. A bell tower rises at the rear left corner, and there is a small cupola, topped with a pyramidal roof, set near the back of the roof. The building was designed by Worcester architect George Clemence and built in 1895–96, and is a well-preserved example of a civic building with Colonial Revival and Queen Anne features. The building served as a firehouse until 2008, making the transition from horsedrawn equipment to modern fire trucks. In November 2008, a new fire station was opened at 266 Franklin Street, on the site of the 1999 Worcester Cold Storage and Warehouse Co. fire, which took the lives of six firefighters. A plan to rehabilitate the station into a residence was approved in 2014. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in eastern Worcester, Massachusetts References

Buckmaster Pond

Buckmaster Pond is a kettle pond located in Westwood, Massachusetts. History The pond is a kettle, a small pond created by glacial melt-water during the last glacial maximum. It is named after John Buckmaster, an early settler who died in 1752 and was the first person to be buried in the Old Westwood Cemetery. The pond appears in historical records as early as 1827, when it was used for baptisms. In 1885, when Westwood was part of the town of Dedham as the Parish of West Dedham, the water rights of the pond were sold to the neighboring town of Norwood. The anger around selling off of a local water source was a contributing reason for the parish to split from Dedham, which is when Westwood was incorporated as a town in 1897. Norwood built a pumping station and continued to use the pond as a water source until the late 1970s, when it was discontinued due to unidentified contamination and cheaper water being available from the water district that would become the MWRA. Recreation Along with kayaking and boating, the pond is a popular local fishing site. The fish including brown trout, largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and catfish have been caught in the pond.

Scargo Lake

Scargo Lake is a fresh water kettle pond in Dennis, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. History of formation There are many Native American legends about the formation of Scargo Lake, and all are some variant of a tale of Princess Scargo. One story is that a man from another tribe brought the princess four fish, and he promised to return before the fish died. The princess was said to have had a small pond dug to keep the fish in, but woke one morning to find that the pond had dried up, and all but one fish had died. Her tears kept the last fish alive until her father dug a lake for it. The boundary of this lake was determined by where four arrows of a tribesman landed. Once the lake was complete, the fish survived, and the man from the other tribe fulfilled his promise to return to the princess. More commonly heard is the story of a princess who was given three fish in a pumpkin by a young brave going off to war. He was gone so long that the fish began to outgrow the pumpkin. She then had the women of the village dig out the pond with clam shells so the fish could survive. The dirt the women dug out became Scargo Hill. Today it is the highest hill in the mid-Cape area. Another legend is very similar, but she dug a hole in the ground (considered by many to be fish-shaped). The dirt from the hole was said to become the 160-foot Scargo Hill, and that the hole filled up with water from the heavy autumn rains, which also drowned the princess. She was seen as a sacrifice, and the reason the lake is well stocked with fish. Another says that an Indian named Maushop dug out the pond, and then lit his pipe. The smoke from the pipe attracted dark clouds from which rain fell and filled the pond. Beaches There are two public beaches on Scargo Lake: Princess Beach, which is sandy and Scargo Beach, which has sand dumped in the water, but no sandy area by the water. Fishing Scargo Lake is stocked in spring and fall with brook, brown, and rainbow trout, all of which are allowed to be fished. A wide shelf of shallow water makes for easy wading and access to deeper water. This shelf makes Scargo Lake a popular pond for fly fishing. Scargo Lake is located between Massachusetts Route 6A and Scargo Hill Road, and is easily reached off of route 6A. There are three town landings, all of which are suitable for launching light draft boats and canoes. Two are accessible via dirt roads immediately off Route 6A on the western side, and the remaining one on the northern cove can be reached from an unnamed road off the intersection of Route 6A and Sesuit Neck Road. A 7.5 horsepower limit on outboard motors is enforced by the town. See also Scargo Tower References Further reading Green, Eugene; Sachse, William; McCauley, Brian (2006). The Names of Cape Cod.
