Bryant & Stratton College

Bryant & Stratton College (informally Bryant & Stratton or simply BSC) is a private college with campuses in New York, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin, as well as an online education division. Founded in 1854, the college offers associate degree and bachelor's degree programs. The college is approved by the New York State Board of Regents and accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. History John Collins Bryant, Henry Beadman Bryant, and Henry Dwight Stratton were early graduates of Folsom Business College in Cleveland, Ohio, which they later purchased from the owner of the school, Ezekiel G. Folsom, who founded his school in 1848. Folsom was a former student of Platt Rogers Spencer who developed a standardized style of writing useful in business transactions before the invention of the typewriter. Platt Spencer also played a role in the formation of Bryant & Stratton College, serving as a partner and teacher at the school which originally focused on bookkeeping and Spencerian penmanship. Bryant & Stratton College was organized in 1854 to provide practical workplace education, and was formerly known as Bryant & Stratton Business Institute. In addition to purchasing the Cleveland school, Bryant and Stratton established a number of business schools that operated under the name of Bryant & Stratton Chain of Business Schools in most major US cities. By 1864, as many as 50 schools existed and tuition was $40 for an entire program of study. Today, there are schools across four states. In 2015, Bryant & Stratton was put on a Heightened Cash Monitoring list by the federal government, to allow for a closer monitoring of their financial practices. This was followed that same year with legislation proposed by Senator Sherrod Brown to prevent for-profit colleges from using federal funds for marketing and advertising. WKYC noted in relation to this that US Department of Education statistics showed the college had a last place graduation rate of 6%. In 2020, Bryant & Stratton College began pursuing a non-profit designation, as the college was previously a for-profit institution. Bryant H. Prentice III, a descendant of the college's founders, transferred his ownership of the college to a New York-based nonprofit corporation. Campuses Campuses of Bryant & Stratton College are located in the following locations: Academics Bryant & Stratton College offers diplomas, associate degrees, and bachelor's degrees in business, technology, hospitality, human and legal services, healthcare, nursing, education, and design.

Louise Archer Elementary School

Louise Archer Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vienna, Virginia, United States, and is part of Fairfax County Public Schools. Founded in 1867 as a school for African-American children, it is designated by Fairfax County as an elementary school center for advanced academic programs. History The school was originally established in 1867 as the Vienna Colored School, making it the first school for African-American children in Fairfax County. Prior to its founding, African-American children in the area were required to travel daily to Washington D.C. to attend school. In 1939, the school relocated to its current site, which was then a predominantly Black neighborhood. Louise Archer served as the school's principal and taught alongside two other teachers. In addition to her instructional duties, she provided meals for all students. During the early 1940s, the school lacked running water, the only available sources was Salisbury Spring, located approximately one mile away. Male students were tasked with fetching water, while Archer prepared meals on a potbellied stove. The original school building now forms part of the northern section of the campus near the cafeteria. In 1950, the school was officially renamed Louise Archer Elementary School. In the late 1960s, Duke Ellington and his trio performed at the school at the invitation of the band teacher at that time, Philmore Hall, who had previously been Ellington's trumpet instructor. Advanced Academic Program Louise Archer Elementary School offers a level IV Advanced Academics Program (AAP), which begins in the third grade. Chess Club During the 2009 school year, the Louise Archer Chess Club earned seven trophies and awards. That year, the school placed third nationally in a spring 2009 tournament and achieved a strong showing in another national chess competition.

Lyceum (Alexandria, Virginia)

The Lyceum is a historic museum and event space in Alexandria, Virginia. Built in 1839 on the initiative of Quaker schoolmaster Benjamin Hallowell, it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 27, 1969, the year of its purchase by the city. Constructed in the then-popular Greek Revival style from bricks recycled from the original St. Mary chapel, it originally was intended as a permanent home for scholarly activities. It hosted both the Alexandria Lyceum (which featured speakers including John Quincy Adams) and the Alexandria Library. During the American Civil War, it served as a hospital. After the war, the Lyceum was dissolved and John Bathurst Daingerfield bought the building for his daughter Mary Helen and her husband, Philip Hooe, who was a descendant of the town's first mayor, merchant Robert Townshend Hooe. It later served as an office building, so virtually none of the original woodwork remains. During the New Deal it was recognized by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). In 1937, a separate building was constructed about four blocks north (on the site of the former Quaker graveyard) to house the growing city's library, which was the scene of a sit-in in 1942 and now is one of several branches. Today the Lyceum, whose two-story Doric portico fronts Washington Street (an urban section of the George Washington Memorial Parkway), is a visitor center and museum in its own right (complete with gift shop). In and around 2003, it hosted Sunday worship services for a pastor from Oral Roberts University until he got his own building. It also again hosts various scholarly and cultural events and lectures, as well as administrative offices of the Office of Historic Alexandria. That department of the city's government is charged with conserving, interpreting and promoting this and seven other relatively small museums which bring the city's varied history to life. The Office of Historic Alexandria is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and is a member of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

Mabry Mill

Mabry Mill is a watermill located at mile 176.2 of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia, United States, just north of the community of Meadows of Dan. Originally a privately owned working mill, it is now a popular tourist attraction run by the National Park Service. A short trail around the mill connects historical exhibits about life in rural Virginia. The trail allows visitors to view the gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop. Mabry Mill was built by Edwin Boston Mabry (E. B. Mabry). He returned to Floyd County in 1903 and began constructing the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then became a sawmill. By 1905, it was in operation as a gristmill. By 1910, the front part of the mill was completed; it included a lathe for turning out wheel hubs, a tongue-and-groove lathe, a planer and a jigsaw. Between 1905 and 1914 Mabry bought adjacent tracts of land, mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power. During peak seasons, demonstrations of crafts are given by National Park Service volunteers at Mabry Mill. External links Blue Ridge Parkway, Mabry Mill, VBR National Park Service: Blue Ridge Parkway
