No full textUnique document composed by the Nominating Committee of the National Democratic Party 1888 presented to Grover Cleveland for renomination during his first presidency. Signed by representatives from every state and territory within the nation.Courtesy of the State of New Jersey Division of Environmental Protection, the Grover Cleveland Birthplace Historic Site, Caldwell, New Jersey.Washington, D. C., June 26-th, 1888. - To the Honorable Grover Cleveland of New York. -
Sir: - The Delegates to the National Democratic Convention, representing every State and Territory of our Union, having assembled in the city of Saint Louis on June 5-th inst. for the purpose of nominating Candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States, it has become the honorable and pleasing duty of this Committee to formally announce to you, that without a ballot, you were, by acclamation, chosen as the Standard bearer of the Democratic Party for the Chief Executiveship of this Country, at the election to be held in November next. Great as is such a distinction under any circumstances, it is the more flattering and profound when it is remembered that you have been selected as your own successor to an office, the duties of which, always onerous, have been rendered of an extraordinarily sensitive, difficult and delicate nature because of a change of Political Parties and methods, after twenty-four years of uninterrupted domination. This exaltation is, if possible, added to by the fact that the Declaration of Principles - based upon your last Annual Message to the Congress of the United States relative to a Tariff-reduction and a diminution of the expenses of the Government - throws down the direct and defiant challenge, "for an exacting scrutiny of the administration of the executive power, which four years ago was committed in its trust to the election of Grover Cleveland President of the United States, and for the most searching enquiry concerning its fidelity and devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people." An engrossed copy of that platform - adopted without a dissenting voice - is herewith tendered to you. In conveying, Sir, to you, the responsible trust which has been confided to them, this Committee beg, individually and collectively, to express the great pleasure which they have felt at the results attending the National Convention of the Democratic Party, and to offer to you their best wishes for official and personal success and happiness. - We have the honor, Sir, to be - Your Obedient Servants, - Patrick A.

Financing Invention During the Second Industrial Revolution: Cleveland, Ohio, 1870-1920
No full textFor those who think of Cleveland as a decaying rustbelt city, it may seem difficult to believe that this northern Ohio port was once a hotbed of high-tech startups, much like Silicon Valley today. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cleveland played a leading role in the development of a number of second-industrial-revolution industries, including electric light and power, steel, petroleum, chemicals, and automobiles. In an era when production and inventive activity were both increasingly capital-intensive, technologically creative individuals and firms required greater and greater amounts of funds to succeed. This paper explores how the city's leading inventors and technologically innovative firms obtained financing, and finds that formal institutions, such as banks and securities markets, played only a very limited role. Instead, most funding came from local investors who took long-term stakes in start-ups formed to exploit promising technological discoveries, often assuming managerial positions in these enterprises as well. Business people who were interested in investing in cutting-edge ventures needed help in deciding which inventors and ideas were most likely to yield economic returns, and we show how enterprises such as the Brush Electric Company served multiple functions for the inventors who flocked to work there. Not only did they provide forums for the exchange of ideas, but by assessing each other's discoveries, the members of these technological communities conveyed information to local businessmen about which inventions were most worthy of support.

Journalism in Cleveland
No full text2018 marks the bicentennial anniversary of journalism in Cleveland. On July 31, 1818, the Cleveland Gazette and Commercial Register was founded marking the beginning of Cleveland\u27s rich tradition of news reporting. After several decades of small, partisan papers, the Plain Dealer and Cleveland Press battled one another for Cleveland\u27s readers for more than 100 years. Louis B. Seltzer, editor-in-chief of the Cleveland Press for nearly four decades, reflected on his role in the newspaper business: The Press strives to be with the people, always at their side, always beating with their hearts, always fighting for what is good and against what is bad. The Press\u27 address is, has been, and always will be—Greater Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. (The Years Were Good).
This webpage has pulled together web resources from the Cleveland Memory Project and elsewhere in celebration of photojournalists, journalists, columnists, and editorial cartoonists with particular emphasis on works since the end of World War II.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/cmpex/1127/thumbnail.jp
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Emerging methods for the evaluation of physical learning environments
No full textThe field of post-occupancy evaluation (POE) has provided direction on how evidence can be gathered about the performance of educational facilities for over 40 years (Cooper, 2001). However, such work has generally overlooked the evaluation of learning spaces for pedagogical effectiveness, i.e. the suitability of the physical environment in supporting desired teaching and learning practices, activities and behaviours.
This chapter calls for, and introduces, new methods of learning environment evaluation that attempt to make explicit the connections between pedagogy and space. It also outlines a suggested framework for the further development of such methods.
The research is currently being conducted at the University of Melbourne in connection with the Evaluating 21st Century Learning Environments (E21LE) ARC Linkage project. Findings so far have indicated that a return to the origins of post-occupancy evaluation in the field of environmental psychology is required to support the development of evaluation methods that take into account both the physical and social components of the environment. Feedback is needed on just how effective specific ‘units of the environment’ (Barker, 1968) are as pedagogical settings
Connecting Cleveland: Economic Impact of Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority
No full textThe Center for Economic Development (the Center) produced this economic impact report for the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) to illustrate how their operations, infrastructure, and services contribute to Cuyahoga County’s economy. Cleveland is fortunate among the Midwestern metropolitan areas to have a rich transit history and infrastructure which is actively updated and shapes regional life. Among similar metro transit authorities in the region (Detroit, Cincinnati, and others), GCRTA was second only to Pittsburgh’s Port Authority of Allegheny County in terms of ridership and vehicle-revenue miles in 2017.
With 2,300 full-time employees in 2017, GCRTA is the 13th largest Northeast Ohio employer based in Cleveland and the 38th largest in the region. GCRTA’s service area is Cuyahoga County; its 2017 operating budget totaled 60 million to $87 million over the last five years.
The scale of GCRTA operations creates an economic impact on the regional economy and affects the lives of those who rely on its services to get to work, school, and local amenities. While its employees reside across Greater Cleveland, the lion\u27s share live in Cuyahoga County (82%). GCRTA spends roughly 24% of its operating budget and 30% of its capital expenditures within Cuyahoga County by purchasing from local suppliers. The direct employment and operations of GCRTA, their purchases from suppliers within Cuyahoga County, and local spending of GCRTA employees’ salaries and salaries of employees of local suppliers give a boost to the regional economy
