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
Warren G. Harding train photograph
No full textDated July 1923, this photograph shows a train decorated with American flags, banners, and a photograph of President Warren G. Harding on the front, while crowds line the train tracks near an American Railway Express train station in Portland, Oregon. This gathering probably marks the President and First Lady's arrival in Portland during their "Voyage of Understanding," a cross-country train journey that included numerous stops along the route where Harding had speaking engagements, and culminated in the first-ever presidential visit to the territory of Alaska. According to the official itinerary, the Hardings visited Portland on July 4. The trip was taken in spite of the president's failing health, and on August 2, Harding suffered a heart attack, and never made it to his second stop in Portland, scheduled for July 28. He died August 2, 1923, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California.
This photograph is part of a photograph album in the Warren G. Harding Photograph Collection (P146). Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States (1921-1923), was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio, in 1865. At age 14, Harding attended Ohio Central College in Iberia, Ohio, where he edited the campus newspaper and became an accomplished public speaker. He married Florence Kling de Wolfe in 1891, and embarked on his political career in 1900 by winning a seat in the Ohio legislature. After serving two terms as an Ohio Senator, Harding served as Lieutenant Governor in 1904 for two years before returning to the newspaper business. Although he lost the 1910 gubernatorial race, Harding was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1914. Political insider Harry Daugherty promoted Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. His front porch campaign was centered on speeches given from his home in Marion, Ohio, pledging to return the country to “normalcy” in this post World War I era. Harding easily won the election, gaining 61 percent of the popular vote. On August 2, 1923, Harding unexpectedly died from a massive heart attack while touring the western United States, and is entombed in the Marion Cemetery
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
An exploration of the effects of group summative assessment marking on higher education students’ overall marks
No full textGroupwork and group summative assessment (GSA) are important learning, teaching and assessment methods used by many educational institutions, not just universities. The differences between the marks that HEI students were awarded for their own independent individual summative assessment (IISA) work and their GSA marks were explored.
The study topic presented itself while the author was contemplating studying for a first degree, when it became apparent that group working and group summative assessment was included in summative assessment methods used in the chosen programme.
Three data sources were from UK undergraduates and graduates, and one was from Australian PG students. Module marks data were collected from over 4000 HE students. They were divided into eighteen faculty/year data sets from four HEI sources.
A systematic difference was found between the distributions of GSA and IISA marks, supporting Lejk et al. (1999). Lower IISA ability students scored higher in GSA modules than in IISA modules. Higher IISA ability students scored lower in GSA modules.
In addition, the mean GSA mark was higher than the mean IISA mark. The standard deviation of the GSA marks was lower than the SD of the IISA marks. Both of these findings support Downie (2001). The relationship was found to vary between the data sets, modules, assessment items and especially between faculties.
The results and conclusions from this study will empower stakeholders, enabling them to be better informed in their choice of first-degree study programmes. They will also allow the use and impact of GSA to be more transparent and better understood, leading to further research and improvement in practice
