# John B. McDonald

John B. McDonald (November 7, 1844 – March 17, 1911) was an Irish-born contractor who is best known for overseeing construction of New York City's first subway line from 1900 to 1904.

## Early life

John B. McDonald was born on November 7, 1844, in Cork, Ireland to Bartholomew McDonald, a contractor and cellar digger. At a young age, he came to New York City and attended public schools. His father became served as a representative in the New York City Board of Aldermen.

## Career

From 1900 to 1904, McDonald oversaw the construction of the first New York City Subway line. McDonald won the job with a $35 million bid in 1900, but he did not have the capital necessary to post the surety bonds the city required, so he turned to the banker August Belmont Jr., for financial backing. After that, McDonald effectively worked for the company that Belmont formed, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, but McDonald was credited with being an extremely able builder. The initial segment from City Hall to Grand Central, across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to 145th Street—was completed on schedule on October 27, 1904. It was a remarkable achievement given the complexity and novelty of the project and periodic labor turmoil.
In 1905, McDonald was hired away by a rival transit mogul, Thomas Fortune Ryan, who proposed to build a competing subway line. Ryan agreed to pay McDonald $250,000 in two installments up front plus $50,000 a year for five years not to be involved in construction for any company other than the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, Ryan's company. By the time McDonald testified to the arrangement in 1907, Ryan and Belmont had merged their companies.
Before the subway, McDonald had made a name for himself on other rail projects, including a challenging project in the early 1890s tunneling underneath downtown Baltimore to bring the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to the Baltimore Harbor. The so-called Howard Street Tunnel is still in use by freight trains. He also worked on the San Francisco Harbor, the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Entre Ríos Railway in South America, the Northwestern Elevated Railroad in Chicago, a bridge in Montreal and a tunnel in Hamilton, Ontario.

## Personal life

McDonald married Georgia A. Strang in 1869. They had daughters together. He had a son, but he died in the late 1800s. He died in New York City on March 17, 1911. He was interred at his home in Hopewell, New York.

The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Matthew Chisling from AllMusic labelled the album "almost as good" as Broken & Beautiful, explaining that in spite of Rock-n-Roller being generally "quite excellent", "the repetitiveness of some tracks limits their overall quality." The staff of Metro Canada gave a more negative review, describing the material as "sterile" and "so L.A." Ranking the album two stars out of five, the newspaper remarked that "this should be the kind of music that never goes out of style [...] But it only works if you have something new and special to offer."

# John Fryer (travel writer)

John Fryer FRS (circa 1650 – 31 March 1733) was an English doctor and Fellow of the Royal Society, now best remembered for his descriptions of travel in Persia and India.

## Life

Fryer was the oldest son of William Fryer of London. On 13 July 1664, he matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he graduated as a Bachelor of Medicine in 1671, then becoming a Fellow-Commoner at Pembroke College, Cambridge on 23 July the same year. In 1672 he was appointed as a surgeon for the British East India Company, to be paid "50s. per month to commence at his arriveall", and on 9 December 1672 sailed from Gravesend on the Unity. While en route, at Johanna (Nzwani) in the Comoro Islands, he made important observations concerning the antiscorbutic qualities of oranges and limes. He arrived on 26 June 1673 at Masulipatnam (now Machilipatnam), the earliest English settlement on the Coromandel coast, and sailing onwards from there to Madras, ultimately arrived at Bombay one year after leaving England.
Fryer remained in the east for eight years, returning to England in August 1682, where he married and had at least one daughter, Anna Maria Sanderson. In 1697 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1698 his "Abstract with Some Reflections on a New Account of East-India and Persia" was published in the Society's transactions, the same year as his magnum opus, A new account of East-India and Persia. Fryer died on 31 March 1733 at his Bread Street home in All Hallows parish, London.
Fryer's books provide contemporary accounts of Mughal India, southern India, and Persia, where he visited Isfahan and the southern parts of the country, with accurate observations in geology, meteorology, and natural history.

# List of committee members of the African Company of Merchants

The African Company of Merchants was managed by the African Committee, which was composed of nine committee members, three each from London, Liverpool and Bristol. The constitution stipulated that the committee should be elected annually from the general body of traders from these cities, who paid 40 shillings to be admitted to the company.
The establishing act, African Company Act 1750, had stipulated that committee members should be ineligible to remain on the committee after three years. However between 1750 and 1764 only 14 individuals served on the committee, with a palpable pattern of rotation.

# John Griffiths (academic)

John Griffiths (27 July 1806 – 14 August 1885) was an academic at the University of Oxford, where he was Warden of Wadham College and Keeper of the Archives.

## Life

John Griffiths, the son of a clergyman and schoolteacher also called John Griffiths, was born on 27 July 1806 in Rochester, Kent. He was educated at the King's School, Rochester (his father's school) and at Winchester College, before joining the University of Oxford as a scholar of Wadham College in 1824. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1827, and was made a Fellow of Wadham in 1830, lecturing in classics and then in divinity. He was ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1828, and became preacher at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall in 1854. He was one of the "Four Tutors" who protested in March 1841 against the Anglo-Catholic John Henry Newman's Tract 90, despite his dislike of controversy. He later explained that he disliked the anonymous basis on which the tract had been published, with an implicit link to the university, as well as its content. His fellowship at Wadham lasted until 1854 under the statutes prevailing at the time, and he then resigned and moved to Hampton Wick. Appointed as Keeper of the Archives in 1857 (a position he held until his death), he returned to Oxford. In 1871, reluctantly, he became Warden of Wadham, resigning in 1881. He also served on various committees and held other administrative positions within the university.
His publications include editions of classical texts, and some works connected with Oxford: An Index to Wills Proved in the Court of the Chancellor of the University of Oxford (1862), and an edition of the Laudian university statutes (1888). He collected medals and prints, and sold one Rembrandt etching for £1,510 in May 1883 (equivalent to about £192,000 in present-day terms) – at that time, the highest price paid for one print. He was known as a courteous and hospitable man, formal in his dress and behaviour, and rather reserved (which seemed not to help relations with Wadham's undergraduates). He died in his home in Oxford on 14 August 1885.

In 1982–1983, Griffiths served as President of the Liberal Party, where he launched a full review of all the party's structures. He continued to write books, including The Science of Winning Squash and further work on Afghanistan. In 1986, he founded the Arts Channel and ran the Minerva Vision production company.

In the late 1990s, Griffiths was the curator of the printing and protective clothing collections. He was also involved in creating content for the museum's website.
Griffiths left the Science Museum in 2003 and then taught astronomy at the Royal Greenwich Observatory. He lived for part of the time in El Bosque, Cádiz, southern Spain, where he set up the Griffon Educational Observatory with Andy Burns and Griffith's wife, Kathy.
