Ontario History at 100 Years
Through Ontario History, the Ontario Historical Society provides Canada with its second oldest continuous historical publication. In 1899 the Society began to print Papers and Records. This was only two years after George Wrong of the History Department at the University of Toronto began the Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada. Since 1920 the Canadian Historical Review, a publication of the University of Toronto Press, had served as a successor to that earlier national journal
100 years back, 100 years forward
The Bauhaus had a pioneering influence on design worldwide which still endures today; through education, experimentation and materialization, a revolution took place in architecture, urbanism and design for mass production. In 1918, during the immediate post-war period, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) achieved a fusion between the Kunstgewerbeschule and the Hochschule fur Bildende Kunst in Weimar, with the creation of an interdisciplinary school of design and crafts. In April 1919, he was elected director of the school which was by then called the Staatliches Bauhaus. He also published the Bauhaus Manifesto, which remains as a pioneering moment in history, with irreversible consequences at a global scale. The Bauhaus as a school, as a method of experimentation, education, and research, embodies the idea of science applied in service of the society. At the Bauhaus, utopia was combined with pragmatism, agitation and propaganda with public service, poetry with utility, Neue Sachlichkeit with creation and freedom. Its premises continue to be relevant today with the great issues of sustainability and democracy needing to be addressed through art and technology
Transportation in McMinnville 100 Years Ago
Our project presents a historical view of transportation and its development in McMinnville in the 1910s, especially in 1912. McMinnville was incorporated as a town in 1876 and became a city in 1882. At the time, people still frequently rode horses (including stagecoaches), and the Yamhill River provided an early artery for pioneer travel and commerce. Then rails expanded in Oregon in the late 1800s and became a popular mode of transportation in the early 20th century. By the 1910s, horses, steamboats, rails, and cars were four major modes of transportation in McMinnville

Dark Energy Camera on the Blanco 4 meter telescope not only has the focal
plane size the 4 meters were built for, but also has excellent near infrared
response. A DECam Deep Fields program is outlined, which can reach M* galaxies
at redshift 6 at a wavelength of one micron. What reionized the Universe, when
did globular clusters form, were there very massive stars and how did they end,
and how did supermassive black holes emerge a few hundred million years after
the Big Bang ? These are some of the questions wide field high z surveys in the
infrared will open to observational study.Comment: Presented at the 50th anniversary of Cerro Tololo Interamerican
