(Neil)

5 Objects

Creator: Prospect School and Center for Education and Research
Date Created: 2008-09-11
Description: (Neil’s) original collection in the Archive covers 9 years, 1970-1979, ages 5 years and 2 months to 13 years and 11 months. The full file of originals numbers 324 visual items and 186 written items, which are reproduced on microfiche in the Reference Edition. (Neil’s) work is notable for these persistent themes: mapping, overview and landscape; patterning, and schematics; machinery and equipment, both invented and realistic; mystery and hiddenness; adventure, conflict, and threats of danger; dwellings, both interiors and exteriors, home, representing safety and comfort; subtle humor running throughout work; deep interest in nature. Some enduring characteristics of his style include preference for line,particularly pencil; outline, but also selective and fine details and shading; humorous inventiveness both in machinery and people in costumes and poses; interest in tools and history; color used sparingly for emphasis; and rhythm and movement conveyed within compositions. An overall characteristic is his eye for detail and upbeat approach. Changes in his work are characterized by a growing variety and range of content; increased use of other mediums, including pastels and water color; bright colors, geometric design; a light, impressionistic touch, as well as realistic illustrations of texts; more writing: long travel/adventure narratives that end in safe refuge at home; story development with understated emotion, and dry humor.

Ariel (University of Vermont Yearbooks)

112 Objects

Date Created: 1886-1997
Description: Ariel, the student yearbook, documents the student body and student activities and organizations. The first volume was published by the sophomore class in 1886, but it soon became a junior class project. Beginning in 1956, the senior class assumed responsibility for the annual yearbook. The title was derived from the character in Shakespeare's The Tempest. The faculty and students of the Medical College were included until 1936. Ariel ceased publication in 1997 with volume 110. It was superseded by a senior memory book, Folklore, in 2001.

(Alva) Concise Image Selection

Image

Creator: Prospect Archives and Center for Education and Research
Description: This sub-set of 63 images was selected based on study of the 172 color slides. The selection was also somewhat influenced by the quality of reproduction in digital form. Prospect participants have found that 60 images are sufficient, and manageable, for a group of teachers to begin to see how a body of work by a child, created spontaneously and collected over a period of years, reveals persisting patterns of thematic interest and stylistic characteristics and reflects back on how the child thinks and what might support his or her learning. It is Prospect‚Äôs hope that this selection will be used by educators for this purpose.

Women's Suffrage in Vermont Collection

104 Objects

Creator: Vermont Woman's Suffrage Association, Vermont Equal Suffrage Association
Date Created: 1882-1916
Description: The Women’s Suffrage in Vermont Collection documents Vermonters’ efforts to obtain voting rights for women. With contributions from the Vermont State Archives and Records Administration, the Leahy Library at the Vermont Historical Society, and Silver Special Collections at the University of Vermont, the collection focuses on the period from 1870 to 1920. The Women’s Suffrage in Vermont Collection include VESA annual meeting reports and correspondence, legislation, promotional materials such as broadsides and leaflets, and photographs. HISTORY In 1870, the Vermont Council of Censors proposed an amendment to the state constitution calling for full suffrage for women. A group of men formed the Vermont Woman Suffrage Association to support the amendment, which failed by a vote of 231 to 1 at the constitutional convention. Ten years later, taxpaying women did obtain the right to vote and hold office in school districts. The Vermont Woman Suffrage Association (VWSA) reorganized in 1884 and focused on achieving woman suffrage in municipal elections by introducing voting rights legislation, advocating in newspapers, and holding meetings and rallies with local and national speakers. The VWSA, which became the Vermont Equal Suffrage Association (VESA) in 1907, worked closely with the American Woman Suffrage Association, later the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Anti-suffragists formed the Vermont Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage in 1912, and by 1917, when the Vermont legislature passed a law that allowed taxpaying women to vote in local elections, the organization claimed over 5,000 members. VESA continued to push for full suffrage, and came close in 1919 when the legislature passed a bill allowing women to vote in presidential elections. Governor Clement refused to sign the bill, and the House of Representatives upheld his veto. After Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919, VESA members campaigned vigorously to have the legislature consider state ratification, but Governor Clement refused to call a special session and the amendment was ratified in 1920 without Vermont’s support. With the right to vote obtained, VESA dissolved and the new Vermont League of Women Voters took on the task of educating Vermont women about civic responsibilities.
