Dedication
No full textIn the spring of 2011, Fordham University and the Schools of Business sustained a deep loss with the passing of Patricia P. Ramsey, Ph.D. Pat joined Fordham in 1981. During her distinguished career, she received myriad accolades, including an outstanding teacher of the year award and a United Student Government faculty award. She was co-author of two major books: Business Statistics for Quality and Productivity (Prentice Hall, 1995) and Applied Statistics for Engineers and Scientists (Prentice Hall, 2001).
Pat served in a number of important administrative roles at both the Gabelli School of Business and the Graduate School of Business Administration (GBA). She was the faculty coordinator of the GBA program in China (BiMBA). Yet Pat was best known for her long service as co-director of the Gabelli Honors Thesis Program, where she mentored dozens of Gabelli students.
This issue of The Fordham Business Student Research Journal is dedicated to Pat Ramsey. Her keen wit and devotion to scholarship will be missed
A Study of Forty-Five Children Discharged From the Catholic Home Bureau to Regular Child Caring Institutions From January 1, 1940 to December 31, 1949
No full textPrior to the entry of the writer into the Fordham School of Social Service, he was employed by the Catholic Home Bureau for Dependent Children. Although the period was for a brief time, the writer had the opportunity to learn of the discharge of children to other child carirg institutions because of their maladjustment in foster homes. Upon further investigation, the author learned that during the years 1940-1949 inclusive, there were 225 children transferred from the Catholic Home Bureau to various types of institutions. These institutions may be designated as: 1) Protective (Catholic and Public), 2) Mental (Public), 3) Regular Catholic Child Caring Institutions and 4) Institutions for Handicapped Children. This investigation stimulated the writer to wonder why these children were not able to adjust in foster homes, thus necessitating another type of placement. He realized that a study concerned with children transferred to all four types of institutions would entail intensive research and study. He believed that it would be best to limit himself to the study of children discharged to only one type of institution. The reviewer, therefore, selected as a possible research topic, the study of a group of children who were transferred from the Catholic Home Bureau to regular Catholic child caring institutions. The author then conferred with the Catholic Home Bureau and with the Fordham School of Social Service in order to determine if such a study had ever been made. He found that none existed. The writer obtained approval to proceed with this study from both the Catholic Home Bureau and the Fordham School of Social Service
THE IMPACT OF ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING ON THE LEADERSHIP OF CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference between the performance of Catholic elementary school principals of the Archdiocese of New York who were and who were not certified as administrators through participation in the course of study of the Nonpublic School Administrators Program (NSAP) of Fordham University with regard to the implementation of their religious leadership role and supervisory leadership role. The dimensions of religious leadership examined were: involving staff in promoting the religious goals of the school, equally emphasizing the three components of the religious education program (doctrine, worship and service) and providing ongoing planning for religious goal achievement, while the dimensions of supervisory leadership examined were: formal supervision and staff development programming. In addition, the study sought to determine whether significant relationships existed between the implementation of the religious leadership role and the supervisory leadership role of the principals who were and who were not certified as administrators through participation in the NSAP Program at Fordham University with regard to the following variables: status (lay or religious) and years of administrative experience. The subjects of this study were divided into two groups: Those who participated in the Fordham University Program (114) and those who did not participate in the Program (58). The instruments used were: The Religious Supervisory Leadership Questionnaire For Principals and the Preliminary Subject Profile For Principals: both instruments having been developed by the investigator. The major findings and conclusions of this study were: (1) that the participants in the NSAP Program were more involved with their religious leadership role dimension than the non-participants; (2) in the area of formal supervision it was found that participants and non-participants were equally involved in role fulfillment; (3) in the area of informal supervision the participants were found to be more involved than the non-participants; (4) in the area of staff development overall it was found that the non-participants were in greatest need of Central Office guidance and training; (5) regarding the personal variables of status and years of administration it was found that the NSAP Program was especially meeting the needs of the growing number of lay Catholic elementary school principals, especially in the religious leadership dimension. . . .

Mental Retardation: Criteria for Grouping the Mentally Retarded Based on a Survey of the Grouping Principles and Practices of Eight Agencies Providing Social Group Work Services to the Mentally Retarded and One Agency Providing Group Services in an Educational Setting, in the New York City Area, 1964
No full textBackground of the Study. The author’s interest in mental retardation was first stimulated by a discussion on the subject in the course, Social Welfare Services” given at the Fordham University School of Social Service. This discussion led him to choose mental retardation as one of the three topics he was free to select and study for the final examination of the course. The discoveries made in studying this subject, for the author at least, proved nothing short of startling. Ignorance gave place to enlightenment as = he learned of the magnitude of the problem and its many ramifications. The author was introduced to the fact that any community he might one day serve as a social worker would, no doubt, have a population of the mentally retarded. He felt obliged, therefore, to equip himself with knowledge about them. He was also convinced that knowledge of the mentally retarded would broaden his knowledge about people in general. Desiring firsthand knowledge, the author sought and received a field placement with an agency dealing directly with the mentally retarded. The author considers himself very fortunate in having been placed with the New York City Chapter of the Association for the Help of Retarded Children
The Life and Character of the Author of The Vision of Piers Plowman
No full textThe fourteenth century poem known as the Vision of Piers Flowman is recognized by scholars as one of the most important works of medieval literature. It is often considered as a complement to the panoramic picture of fourteenth century social life drawn by the author of the Canterbury Tales. Its popularity is indicated by the existence of no less than sixty manuscripts containing three different versions that have been named the A, B, and C text respectively. Studies of the texts, their meaning, and their author have been made for their usefulness in se- curing a picture of the age. Evidence, internal and external, has been advanced as proof that the author was, variously, this man or that. But no attempt has been made to synthesize these findings with a view to producing a biography of the author of this important work
