Warren G. Harding letter to Adolphe Danziger, February 21, 1921
No full textIn this letter dated February 21, 1921, President-elect Warren G. Harding writes to Adolphe Danziger, a Jewish scholar, lawyer and author, to thank him for the poem he wrote honoring Harding titled "Within the Storm."
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I

Toward a Definition of Pinto Points
Get PDFInconsistencies in the identification of Pinto projectile point types, as used in Great Basin and Mojave Desert archaeology, have created chronological as well as typological problems (Warren 1980). Thomas' (1981:22) attempt to "clarify the situation" by assigning the type name "Gatecliff Split-stem" to the class of points that formerly had been included under the Pinto rubric in the western and central Great Basin, reflects the need for an adequate definition of Pinto points. We have assumed that the Pinto designation should be retained in the Mojave Desert where it was first used (Amsden 1935), unless it can be shown no longer to have a viable application. The viable application of any type is in part dependent upon its intended analytical function. The Pinto point type traditionally has been used primarily as a temporal type, or time marker. The Pinto point type, as defined here, is assumed to be a temporal type and the purpose of this paper is to take the initial step in testing the validity of that assumption. The validity of a temporal type is dependent upon two criteria: 1) a definable temporal distribution of the type; and 2) the consistent occurrence of a set or sets of physical attributes. In this paper we address only the second criterion: the physical attributes of the Pinto points in the Mojave Desert

Obsidian Hydration and the Pinto Chronology in the Mojave Desert
Get PDFThis paper is an evaluation of three different chronological placements of the Pinto Period in light of obsidian hydration readings from the Stahl, or Little Lake, site (Harrington 1957; Meighan 1981) and the Awl site located at the west end of Drinkwater Basin on Fort Irwin (Fig. 1). The three chronologies selected are representative of different views concerning the beginning and ending dates for the Pinto Period and its cultural relationship to the earlier Lake Mojave Period (Fig. 2). Wallace's (1962) chronological placement of the Pinto Period sets a terminal date of A.D. 1 and an initial date of 2500 B.C., with a cultural hiatus separating the Lake Mojave and Pinto periods. Bettinger and Taylor (1974) place their Little Lake (Pinto) Period between 1200 and 4000 B.C., immediately following the Lake Mojave Period. Warren and Crabtree (in press) date the Pinto Period between 2000 and 5000 B.C., immediately following the Lake Mojave Period. These proposed beginning and ending dates for the Pinto Period, and the presence or absence of a preceding cultural hiatus, can be evaluated with data that include obsidian hydration measurements from the Little Lake and Awl sites, and available radiocarbon dates pertaining to the outset of the Gypsum (or Newberry) Perio
Oral History Interview with Rueben C. Warren
No full textThis interview with Rueben Warren, DDS, DrPH, is part of “Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics,” an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Dr. Warren is Dean Emeritus, School of Dentistry, Meharry Medical College and former Director of the National Center for Bioethics and Professor Emeritus of Bioethics at Tuskegee University. He also spent many years working at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control. His expertise includes dental health, access to oral healthcare, public health, faith communities, and environmental justice. He is the author of over one hundred journal articles.
Dr. Warren discussed the close-knit community of his childhood in the Watts neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles and his higher education experiences at San Francisco State University, Meharry Medical College, Harvard University, and the Interdenominational Theological Center. He described being on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study Legacy Committee, the 1997 apology from President Bill Clinton, and the subsequent establishment of the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Healthcare at Tuskegee University. While director, he shared how he focused on engaging descendants of the U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study, established programming with Black church leaders, and developed a bioethics honors program. He described the need for institutions to prove their trustworthiness to gain community trust, particularly in healthcare settings.
He discussed working in the Office of Minority Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, where he investigated environmental harms and the disproportionate impact on low-income and minority communities. The Covid-19 pandemic occurred during his last years at Tuskegee and he shares that experience as why medical providers and bioethicists should examine the trustworthiness of institutions versus implicating vaccine-hesitant communities. The conversation ends with a comparison of the Human Genome Project to the work of the Diaspora Human Genomic Institute, emphasizing the importance of involving Black scientists and communities in data collection, preservation, and analysis

Mary Warren letter to Mrs. Bachman, October 4, 1914
No full textMary Warren wrote this letter to Mrs. Bachman on October 4, 1914, to describe the efforts of her and fellow activists to convince voters to support women's suffrage. She states that they couldn't make a strong enough impression on voters without additional help. She requested Mrs. Bachman's help in the form of sending literature that could help convince voters to support suffrage.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
