Jessica Smith: Suffragette, Author, Activist, and True Believer
Full text link[ABSTRACT ONLY; NO FULL TEXT] This paper explores the life and works of Jessica Smith, a prolific American Communist activist, writer, and editor from the early 1900s to 1983. An avid supporter of the Soviet Union and married to two notable American Communists (Harold Ware and John Abt), Smith wrote several accounts on life in pre- and post-World War II Soviet Russia (Women in Soviet Russia, Soviet Democracy and How it Works, People Come First). She also served as editor for two long lived pro-Soviet publications, Soviet Russia Today and The New World Review and was heavily involved in the American-Soviet Friendship Council. Smith is examined within the typological framework of American Communists provided by Dr. Aileen Kraditor in her text, "Jimmy Higgins" The Mental World of the American Rank and File Communist 1930-1958. Her writings are compared to thematically similar works from Larry Lesueur (Twelve Months that Changed the World). Despite her contributions, Smith is largely absent from the historical record. Thus, this paper considers the historiography of the subject, establishes a foundation of study, and addresses the question of Jessica Smith's motives: Was she a true believer in the cause of Socialism, or was she a propogandist of the Soviet Union? The current state of research indicates that though there was opportunity for Smith to be trained as a Soviet agent (having lived in the Soviet Union for over five years) her writings and actions do not support this claim. She was critical of Soviet leadership in high profile crises, such as the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. Despite, or perhaps because of her direct knowledge of the Soviet Union and her peoples, Smith remained a stalwart Communist, idealistic and committed to international peace unto her death. She therefore presents an important case study on American Communism, Feminism, and the Cold War.by Chief Sidna

Building a Sustainable Science Center: The Monitoring and Use of Renewable and Efficient Energy
No full textSmith College has committed to building a LEED certified science center. The Engineering and Chemistry Building, the first of three buildings, is being designed for basic green certification. With the combination of Allison Crosby and Amanda Wenczel’s research, it is proposed that a silver certification is financially viable and therefore must be realized. This paper is focused on the application of renewable and efficient energy use, as well as the need to properly monitor and record all aspects of energy and water flow. It is recommended that Smith implement fluorescent light bulbs, efficient hand driers, proper window and wall insulation, solar panels and adequate energy and emission monitors. Recently, the college has signed onto a Campus Sustainability Pledge. Creating an energy efficient, environmentally friendly building is the first major step taken towards supporting this agreement
