Red Cross Building History

The belief that new facilities bring in better recruits was tested by the research into the subject. Although new facilities did attract more initial interest from recruits (Schneider, 2012) the final decision about which school to attend came down to other different factors. In the study of “The impact of Athletic Faculties on the Recruitment of Student Athletes” college athletic prospects were asked why they choose the college they did. With factors such as playing time, location, tradition, education, facilities, teammates, and school color to name a few, the results were as follows. Non-Scholarship athletes that had no option to receive finical aid from the school they planned on attending, like the ones in division III, had top five factors of 1) playing time, 2) social life, 3) Education, 4) Location and 5) Financial Aid. Not until after the top ten did weight room and locker rooms came into effect. In another study it was shown that scholarship athletes in Division I were motivated by completion and achievement, while in division III the main motivator to play was the “experience” or the social

The second Texas institution opened by the Daughters of Charity was in El Paso, a “frontier town” of only a few thousand residents, when three Daughters of Charity arrived on February 3, 1892. The day the history of nursing in El Paso will always look back to.(TSHAonline.org) These ladies saw a vision to care for the sick that could not be cared for in El Paso. The Charity created the first emergence center to go too, and formed our medical programs and helped lay a foundation to grow on. With the help of the citizens of El Paso the Daughters of Charity opened up “Hotel Dieu” the oldest and most renown hotel. Due to its central location, it was named after a hospital in Paris and built El Paso’s name for their great nursing program. After closing their doors in December 5, 1987, Hotel Dieu, passed down its views on medicine to UTEP. It allowed the university to uphold the reputation for having one of the best nursing programs in Texas. From 1892 until 2016, the school of nursing has adapted to the changes in technologies and surgeries advancing in the field of medicine,therefore impacting all El Pasoans lives who need medical attention.

People drive past El Paso High School every day and never bother to admire the beautiful architecture of the 100-year-old building that towers above them. I’ve always thought it was a striking building but, like many other El Pasoans, had no idea about the history behind why it was built the way it was. A couple of books and a nice long look at the school, I now have a better understanding and appreciation for Henry Trost’s marvelous works. Geoffrey Wright, an El Paso architect, describes Henry Trost’s grand design of El Paso High School as a “renaissance revival” in a 1991 article in the Austin American-Statesman, which wasn’t entirely accurate. Although he was inaccurate in this remark, he made another observation that was spot-on,

“Are you fired up?!?” the General yelled. The answer, of course, was “Yes sir, fired up, sir!” This was how we started every year of Dixie Basketball Camp as we came together in the Southwest Mississippi Community College (SMCC) auditorium. It is hard to explain what the Dixie Basketball Camp is all about. Experiencing it is really the only way of knowing. Dixie teaches kids every year the value of hard work along with the fundamentals of basketball. The camp has a unique and special enthusiasm, filled with cheering and chants, many of which have continued for many years and have made Dixie one-of-a-kind. The General, Joe Dean Jr., has been running the camp for over twenty years. He inspires five hundred campers every year to work hard and sweat on the basketball court. Over the past eight years, he has served as a role model for me at the camp. The Dixie Basketball Camp has been a significant part of my life since the fourth grade; I could not help but be upset as I drove away from the campus after my eighth and final year at the world famous Dixie Basketball Camp and Country Club, “Hey!” I was going to miss all of the enthusiasm the most.

A plethora of reasons exist as to why a certain sport might signal importance to a state, but in Indiana, the sport happens to standout on a whole different level. Current Southeast Dubois Superintendent, Rick Allen, commented on why Indiana high school basketball remains superior saying, “One reason Indiana high school basketball is such a standout of a sport in Indiana is because of the community support behind the team” (Allen 2). The era of basketball between 1911-present remains crucial today not only for the big schools’ gyms in Indiana, but also for small towns gyms such as Huntingburg, Loogootee, Tell City, Ferdinand, and numerous others.

What is that strange orange brick building? Why should I care about that? That striking orange, brick building is the Guardian Building of downtown Detroit. When deciding to go to a historical site in the city, I was drawn in by the history of the place. I am relatively new to the city and when I heard about this place, I knew that’s where I wanted to go. When our group traveled together to the site, it became apparent why this building is not only important to Detroit, but to all cities. The Guardian Building was not only a great fixture of the past, but it is a leading example of the efforts to bring a city back to greatness.

The grounds was utilized as an armed force camp, first for Union officers, then for Confederate troopers, amid the Civil War. (There were sensitivities for both sides at the college.) After the war the school went into liquidation and was changed over to a young men's preliminary secondary school for two or three years, the recaptured its legs as a state school in 1867.

The University of Arkansas Fort Smith (UAFS) was established in 1928 as an extension of the public school system in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It was known originally as Fort Smith Junior College until 1950, and it initially only occupied 15 acres. Today, the UAFS campus has approximately thirteen buildings in which classes are held in. There are several buildings that are on campus that do not hold classrooms for learning such as the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center, the Boreham Library, the Business Center, the Recreation and Wellness Center (RAWC), and the Lion’s Den. There is a total of 66 campus buildings and facilities on and off campus, and there is 1.16 million building square feet maintained by UAFS (“Why UAFS”). Each building on campus illustrates something different; there are several buildings that are new to our campus also. One building that is not new to our campus, but certainly grabs the eye of many students by either a positive or negative way is the building Gardner. Gardner is one of the oldest buildings on the UAFS campus, but besides the unusual layout that can be an inconvenience at times, the building has history, character, and beauty that out ways the negative any day.

The month of March may be the largest stage for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The basketball tournament known as “March Madness”, brings in publicity, as well as revenue for the schools. People may ask, “why is this college basketball tournament so popular?” The answer is, it is the student athletes that make it exciting to watch. The athletic director for student services at Kansas State University, Phil Hughes, calls the student athletes “The Entertainment Product” (Varsity Green 13). The nickname may sound rash or rude, however he is right. The student athletes attract the crowds, that lead to sold out arenas. Hughes’ office is in a $1 million facility in the academic learning center at KSU, right next to the $2 million football facility (Varsity Green 14). If it were not for the publicity and revenue from the big-stage events for KSU, there would not be any million dollar facilities for the students and coaches to enjoy.

During the nineteenth century charity was viewed as a way the rich could earn salvation by caring for the less fortunate. Being apart of this group disabled people were affected by the inequalities in the system. The growth of capitalism and industrialization led to a change in family dynamics as more people were leaving the home and working in factories and disabled people were in need of aid that they had been receiving from the family. The wealthy controlled the conditions for these workers entering the workforce and because welfare was paid for through taxation it became a way of social control. The wealthy paid more taxes so recipients of these charities were dependent on them. Any civil disobedience could lead in less aide for disabled

There was controversy over the name for several years of debating over renaming the names of buildings that were named after debated persons. What is interesting about the residential college was that it contained a controversial stained glass window. The window depicted a black man in shackles who kneeled before Calhoun was

Clara and college principal, Charlotte Anne Moberly, were aware that the continued success and development of the institution required more suitable buildings and spacious grounds. Clara pledged financial support and in 1913 the leasehold for four and a half acres was acquired from University College on the current much expanded site. The land
