Architect\u27s Report To the Board of Trustees of the College of Agriculture, and the Mechanic Arts, of the State of Maine

The report of Frederick Law Olmsted on design considerations for the Land Grant College for the state of Maine presented in 1867. Olmsted\u27s report begins on page 15 of the Annual Report of the State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts as it appeared in Documents of the Legislature of the State of Maine, 46th Legislature, House Document no. 57. The entire document was scanned. Olmsted discusses what he views as important and unique design considerations given the goal of the college, to provide a liberal education to those who are to remain members of the industrial classes. He notes that it is absolutely essential to the success of the institution that during the four years in which students shall be subject to its direct influence, certain tastes, inclinations and habits shall be established. Olmsted explains how these considerations can be reflected in the arrangement and use of buildings and the landscape design

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the $6.5m$ James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 years, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit.Comment: Accepted by PASP for the special issue on The James Webb Space Telescope Overview, 29 pages, 4 figure
