A selection of photographs and architectural drawings from the Zina Bethune collection on Louise Bethune, circa 1860-1962
Description
An account of the resource
Bethune: every woman her own architect Louise Blanchard Bethune (1856–1913) is widely considered to be the first woman to practice as a professional architect in the United States. This digital collection explores Louise Bethune’s life and work through photographs and architectural drawings selected from the Zina Bethune collection on Louise Bethune, circa 1860-196 2. Louise Bethune played a key role in the architectural firm that she founded, going well beyond simply designing buildings to supervising budgets and onsite work—a highly unusual role for women of the day. Louise let her work and deeds speak for her support of women’s right to work outside the home and to be equitably recompensed for their efforts. In her architecture, family life, and public and private behavior she spoke to a new generation of professional women. The Hotel Lafayette is by far the most significant Bethune structure. The building was initially conceived in 1899 to meet the anticipated demand from the 1901 Pan American Exposition. Its restoration in 2012 was enormously important for Buffalo. The first building in New York State to be saved through state and federal historic tax credits, its restoration coincided with the most substantial economic expansion the Queen City of the Lakes had witnessed in decades. Bethune’s restored opus has come to embody the Lady Architect’s finest work during the Queen City’s finest years and symbolizes what is to come. The bulk of The Zina Bethune collection on Louise Bethune collection was gifted to the University Archives by Sean Feeley (husband of Zina Bethune) in 2017, as facilitated by Kelly Hayes McAlonie. Additional materials were gifted to the University Archives by Kelly Hayes McAlonie and Jon Morris. The foundation of this collection rests with materials pertaining to Louise Bethune and her work as an architect. These include several portraits of Bethune, from approximately age 3 to 55; a typewritten biographical manuscript by Bethune written near the end of her life; her genealogy research of the Blanchard and Bethune families; and architectural plans for three of Bethune’s works in Buffalo, New York. The collection also documents Louise and Robert Bethune’s son, Dr. Charles William Bethune.

Description
An account of the resource
Sepia-toned formal studio group portrait photograph shows the members of the architectural firm of Bethune, Bethune & Fuchs, Architects plus an employee/assistant posed in two rows against a plain backdrop in the late 1880s. Louise Bethune stands in front on the left, close to her husband Canadian architect Robert A. Bethune (to her left). Two additional younger men are standing on either side of the couple, slightly behind them. The young man to the right is their partner (as of 1891) and former protege and employee William L. Fuchs. The name of the young man at the far left is unknown. Each individual wears late nineteenth century style clothing, including high-collared garments and jackets. A printed studio mark and the location “BUFFALO N.Y.” appear along the right edge of the card mount which identifies the photographer as B.F. Powelson of Buffalo, New York. The sepia tones in the lower portion of the photograph gradually fade, typical of aged cabinet card photographs.

An account of the resource
The image portrays a woman, presumably a University of Buffalo student or supporter, dressed in late-19th- or early-20th-century attire and standing next to a bicycle. The woman holds a flag marked “UB” in one hand and wears a hat with decorative feathers. The bicycle has thin tires and a chain guard, and the woman is positioned in front of a plain studio backdrop. Although not a portrait of the architect per se, Louise Blanchard Bethune reportedly purchased the first woman's bicycle to go on sale in Buffalo and was an active member of the Women's Wheel and Athletic Club. From the UB Iris Yearbook, 1898.

Description
An account of the resource
Bethune: every woman her own architect Louise Blanchard Bethune (1856–1913) is widely considered to be the first woman to practice as a professional architect in the United States. This digital collection explores Louise Bethune’s life and work through photographs and architectural drawings selected from the Zina Bethune collection on Louise Bethune, circa 1860-196 2. Louise Bethune played a key role in the architectural firm that she founded, going well beyond simply designing buildings to supervising budgets and onsite work—a highly unusual role for women of the day. Louise let her work and deeds speak for her support of women’s right to work outside the home and to be equitably recompensed for their efforts. In her architecture, family life, and public and private behavior she spoke to a new generation of professional women. The Hotel Lafayette is by far the most significant Bethune structure. The building was initially conceived in 1899 to meet the anticipated demand from the 1901 Pan American Exposition. Its restoration in 2012 was enormously important for Buffalo. The first building in New York State to be saved through state and federal historic tax credits, its restoration coincided with the most substantial economic expansion the Queen City of the Lakes had witnessed in decades. Bethune’s restored opus has come to embody the Lady Architect’s finest work during the Queen City’s finest years and symbolizes what is to come. The bulk of The Zina Bethune collection on Louise Bethune collection was gifted to the University Archives by Sean Feeley (husband of Zina Bethune) in 2017, as facilitated by Kelly Hayes McAlonie. Additional materials were gifted to the University Archives by Kelly Hayes McAlonie and Jon Morris. The foundation of this collection rests with materials pertaining to Louise Bethune and her work as an architect. These include several portraits of Bethune, from approximately age 3 to 55; a typewritten biographical manuscript by Bethune written near the end of her life; her genealogy research of the Blanchard and Bethune families; and architectural plans for three of Bethune’s works in Buffalo, New York. The collection also documents Louise and Robert Bethune’s son, Dr. Charles William Bethune.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.

Description
An account of the resource
This digital collection features manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, documents, and clippings related to the British poet and author Charlotte Mary Mew (1869-1928), a transitional figure between the periods of Victorian and Modernist poetry.
Charlotte Mew was born in London, England, the daughter of an architect. Her life was plagued by the deaths of family members and a family history of mental illness, to which she ultimately succumbed. Mew was especially close to her sister Anne, who became Mew’s last surviving close relative; the two agreed never to marry to avoid passing on genetic predispositions to mental illness. Unable to live openly as a lesbian, Mew’s self-effacing manner and rejection of traditional feminine gender expression further alienated her from polite society, even as she was accepted by some literary circles. She was known to wear short hair, masculine attire, and carry a black umbrella. Unusually for a woman in Victorian England, Mew smoked profusely and rolled her own cigarettes.
Despite winning the admiration of major literary figures—including Thomas Hardy, H.D., Ezra Pound, Siegfried Sassoon, and Virginia Woolf—during her lifetime, Mew's work remained relatively obscure in the years following her death. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.

It wasn’t until 1981 that Mew’s complete works were published in the Collected Poems and Prose edited by Val Warner. The first full biography of Mew, by Penelope Fitzgerald, followed in 1984.
The Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection mostly originates from Alida Klementaski Monro. Monro was a friend of Mew’s and an employee and later proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which published Mew’s work. Additional materials come from the collection of Sydney Cockerell. Cockerell was an associate of Mew’s, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and literary executor for Thomas Hardy, himself a champion of Mew’s work. More information about the Poetry Collection’s Charlotte Mew collection can be found in the collection’s finding aid.

Ujima
Black Student Union
S.U.N.Y.A.B
BSU Handbook 1980
�Welcome my Sisters and Brothers,
On behalf of the Black Student Union, I would like to
welcome all of the incoming freshmen and the other
brothers and sisters who have transferred to our univer
sity. We believe by your choice that you have made an
excellent academic decision, mainly, because the State
University at Buffalo has a number of very fine depart
ments with reputations of national renown. Let me not
forget also those sisters and brothers who attended the
university last year and who managed to survive our in
famous attrition rate.
As president of the Black Student Union, I
would like to introduce you to the principles that
underline and give direction to our organization. First,
there is the concept of Unity. Unity serves a very impor
tant function: it brings everyone of different cities,
cultures, and backgrounds together under a common
goal and objective, to stimulate positive change. In ex
amining our history, it is clear that the major ac omplishments
that we have contributed to civilization
(mathematics, chemistry, physics, medicine, etc.) were
made possible by a united Human effort. The erection
and longevity of the Egyptian pyramids attests to the
successfulness of a united Black effort. Through the
concept of Unity, the Black Student Union will reach its
full potential, which is to provide services to the Black
student body. Second, is the concept of SelfDetermination. By this we mean that we all have an
equal voice in the direction, goals, and objectives for the
Black Student Union; because the Black Student Union
is our Union! Also the Black Student Union believes
unswervingly in the emphasis upon academic success,
cultural awareness and community involvement. All
three, we feel contritube to the realization of one’s self
worth and self-potential, thereby actualize one for the
betterment of himself and his society. Third, is the con
cept of Progressive Economics. For the academic year of
80 to 81, the Black Student Union received a budget of
$17,000 from mandatory fees. On the surface $17,000
may appear to be more than adequate; when examined
more closely, a budget of $17,000 cannot provide for the
essential services of a student body of over 3,000.
Therefore, the Black Student Union must begin to place
emphasis upon progressive economics (fund raising) to
provide those essential services that we all need.
Moreover, progressive economics will stimulate our
creativity and further expand what are our temporary
limitations. The fourth and final concept is that of Pur
pose. Here we ask the question why are we here, why
will we send our children to college? The answer of
course is that we must all try to improve our present
economic and sociological condition in life. It is very im
portant that we as other minorities on higher education
throughout the nation succeed, for as we advance so will
our people. That is why programs such as B.S.U.,
E.O.P. and S.E.E.K. must be maintained, to protect the
integrity of opportunity in higher education for all
minorities, eliminating the inadvertent attachment to
an inferiority disillusion.
As a compliment to the above, we hope to accomplish
the following objectives:
A) More membership involvement on the decision
making level of the Black Student Union.
B) Delegate authority and responsibility to more
people and thereby encourage more interest in student
related problems.
C) Maintain good communications between the ex
ecutive board and the membership of the Black Student
Union.
D) Maintain a good rapport with our local communi
ty and its organizations.
E) Create a viable and working relationship with the
faculty and staff of the university.
Now more than ever, the most important factors that
will determine our success will be our awareness of our
environment and our responses to it. We want your sug
gestions, we encourage your active participation!
Sincerely,
Wallace C. Ferrell
President

�Financial Aid
The outlook for financial aid for the 1980-81 academic
year has some positive as well as negative aspects in
volved.
On the positive side, the Financial Aid Office has ex
perienced the largest number of applications from
students in its history. Our College Work-Study funding
was increased substantially, which will enable more
students to secure on and off-campus employment.
There has been an increased number of students who
have been awarded Basic Educational Opportunity
Grants, even though Congress has decreased each grant
by $50 from the amounts originally scheduled. More
students have become aware of their eligibility for the
New York State Higher Education Services Corporation
(NYSHESC) loans and there has been a substantial in
crease in applications. With one of the largest Freshman
classes admitted to the University for 1980-81, the
Financial Aid Office made early awards to an increased
number of students on a percentage of need basis.
On the negative side, due to inflation and the limited
amount of campus-based funds, awards have not kept
pace with costs. EOP funds per student were reduced
and later restored to the original funding level. In some
cases the increased work load and late applications may
cause some delays in the disbursement of checks for the
fall semester.
We encourage all students to utilize the services and
information available at the Financial Aid Office.
Delay in Cashing Loan Checks
by Joseph Simon
Managing Editor
UB students who qualify for a New York State
guaranteed loan will face a two week delay from now on bet
ween the time they present their loan check to the Universi
ty, and the time the actual cash is in their pocket.
Some students affected by this policy change might be left
without money for food, rent and books in September.
The new rule instituted by the New York State Higher
Education Services Corporation (NYSHESC) has altered
the method in which students obtain their loan money. In
the past, checks could be endorsed by the University and
cashed at a bank the same day. Students must now deposit
the check with the Office of Students Accounts and receive a
University refund — minus tuition and fee charges — 30
days later.
Designed to cut down on the number of forged University
endorsements, the new system went into effect for all New
York State colleges and universities at the beginning of July.
‘Unnecessary hassles’
Students who depend on the loan to pay their early
semester living expenses will now have to find another
source of money while waiting for their University refund.
Although NYSHESC stipulates that the money be handed
out in 30 days, Director of the Office of Students Accounts
Clifford Wilson said, “It’ll take no more than two weeks”
at UB.
The rule will greatly increase the workload of Student Ac
counts, which will handle most of the added paperwork.
“The volume is going to be enormous,” Wilson remarked,
“but we’ll process the checks as quickly as we can.”
Rudy Williams, Assistant Dean for Minority Affairs and
Financial Aid at UB Medical School, acknowledges the
previous misuse of the loan program but said the new system
will cause “a lot of unnecessary hassles.”
He noted that the “delays” and “confusion” the
NYSHESC rule will cause far outweigh the past abuses.
Because UB is unique in not requiring tuition payment
before beginning classes, Wilson instituted another rule he
predicted would not be popular with students.
He said that because the University sends out tuition bills
page four
three weeks into the semester, a student with a loan check
who comes to his office before the billing date technically
owes no tuition money. However, the tuition will be
deducted from the check even though the student has not
been billed for the amount.
Assistant Director for the Office of Financial Aid David
Bouman disagrees with this rule. He believes a student
“owes” nothing until he gets the bill,” and added that this
University’s policy of dealing with allocation of Financial
Aid has gone “from one extreme to the other.”
When asked if this was legal, Williams from the Medical
Schools responded “that’s a very good question.”
Wilson defended the rule as a “sound business practice,”
but admitted that his office is likely “to take some verbal
abuse from students” because of it.
Student hardship
Another aspect of the new system which might further in
convenience students, is the requirements that proof be
shown of any Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) award. If
a student does not show an official slip stating the TAP
award, the amount will not be credited to his account. This
will result in a further reduction, as compared to last year,
of cash a student will have on hand at the beginning of the
year.
Director of the Office of Financial Aid Clarence Conner
pointed out, however, that students have had plenty of time
to apply for this Fall’s TAP program. He admitted though
that “if students knew this (new rule) was coming, they
would have responded (to filing for TAP) a little more
quickly.”
Wilson said he would refund any student’s TAP amount
once receiving official notification.
Bouman agrees that there is aneed to take some action
against check forgers, but he said the new rules are to ex
cessive, and have been instituted too late.
“When you suddenly tighten up without any advance
warning, it’s going to cause a lot of hardship on people who
thought the operation was still running the same way,”
Bouman explained.
Wilson concluded that “it’s like a lot of other crazy things
that go on around here (UB).”

�Black Studies
In response to the question, what does the coming year
hold for Black Studies? I am inclined to believe that the
future is both optimistic and clouded with questions.
The atmosphere for progress is dependent on anumber
of variables. The Department will come under review
and evaluation this Fall. The support that is given to
the department is vital to the assurance that support is
existent, and that the fundamental issues facing Black
Studies will be clearly and positively addressed.
Namely, if Black Studies can resist the budgetary
constraints faced by the SUNY system, and absorb the
external pressures from within the University to Co-opt
its aims and goals, Black Studies could con
ceivably reverse the general decline experienced by
most departments around the country. While the
department has experienced tremendous losses over
theyears, its credibility still remains intact. Black
Studies at SUNYAB has one of the most dynamic pro
grams with individual faculty in the entire country. Its
vitality, versatility, are its “Cause celebre”. The
outstanding reputation of its scholarship in the study of
Africa, Afro-American, and Carribean Studies is proven
by the recent promotion and tenure status of Dr. Keith
Henry. This solidifies Black Studies as a fully tenured
department, a phenomenon not easily attainable. Other
signposts to the resurgence of Black Studies is the
renewed interest by students in the departments
courses and advisement activities. If student interest
remains high for 1980, Black Studies can boast that it
indeed serves over eighty percent of Black student
enrollment. By any standard this is the most positive
step toward greater unity that we must seriously pro
tect. Another factor in the departments future is the
support from concerned professional staff members who
teach courses unselfishly. They have contributed great
ly to an ever increasing pool of resources that the
department has at its disposal. Finally, the role of the
community cannot be under emphasized. In the past the
department has contributed much to enhance communi
ty organization activities, Black Studies will continue to
offer its expertise in areas of community life which ex
pands knowledge, creates enrichment and provides a
source for the improvement of the quality of life.
In conclusion 1980 will see an increase in unemploy
ment for Black Americans, inflationary spiral which will
continue to eat away at the spending power of Black
families, and a resurgence of anti-Black sentiment as the
Political, economic and social systems continue to
erode. The role of Black Studies in 1980 will face increas
ed demands to educate and promote Black pride and self
reliance. This year Black Studies will continue to fight
the struggle for its existence. Without the aid of its own
constituency Black Studies will remain a paradox in an
otherwise hostile educational system.
— Jim Pappas,
Chairman, Black Studies Program
EOP in the Days Ahead
I am pleased to have this opportunity to write a guest
article for the BSU Newsletter as Director of the Educa
tional Opportunity Program. I also think the area of
discussion, the outlook for EOP, is fitting as we begin
the first Fall semester of a new decade — the 1980’s. (So
you see, our existence now touches three decades, the
60s, 70s, and 80s).
First of all, from my vantage point, the need for EOP
is as great as — if not greater than — it was at its begin
ning as EPIS back in 1968. (One only needs to survey
the economic, social and political scene for evidence.) As
far as we can envision, EOP will continue to be needed
for a long time. Our major objective remains unchanged
— to implement the commitment of this university to
open its doors to the educationally and economically
disadvantaged but potentially able.
As I am sure you know, essential to the success of
EOP are the supportive services it provides or help to
provide: counseling, tutoring, developmental courses
and financial aids. What is the outlook regarding these
crucial areas.
We see a continuation of these services. Taken in
dividually, the counseling component has matured and
services expanded. During the 80s, these services, so
vital to the success of EOP students, will be better than
ever. Our tutoring program is solid in terms of personnel
but we have no tutorial laboratory. In terms of facilities,
we cannot at this time envision change. But the quality
of instruction will be even better. We made strides in
our developmental courses during the 70s with im
provements in content, teaching methods, evaluation
and courses offered. Improvement in educational quali
ty is likely to continue. Finally, on the matter of finan
cial aid, the trend of increasing federal and decreasing
state support is likely to continue. This year, many, but
not all EOP students will receive a slightly smaller
grant and this will involve some reliance on loan. Yet,
the basic educational support, based on need, will be
met. The objective, I.E. to meet educationally related
needs remains unchanged. Given the current economical
and political conditions, the present level of support will
probably remain as is for the next few years at least.
Yet, there is no need to become dispirited. The finan
cial support for educationally related needs may be
somewhat diminished, but we shall continue to press for
additional funds. Yet it is a far cry from the limited
numbers ofsuch dollars available during the early 1960s,
the decade when EOP began. Finally, our expectations
of you the students is unsevering. We expect you to
study and study mightily. There is no substitute for ef
fort in order to experience educational achievement — no
“royal road to learning.” We expect you to make
satisfactory progress toward a degree, each and every
semester. Finally, we expect you to earn a degree. In
this you can be assured of our backing.

�St. Augustine’s Center
Foster Care Program
“Familyness” is the theme of the St. Augustine
Center’s Family Foster Care Program. The Foster Care
Program began placement of children into foster homes
in July of 1978. This program thus establishes the first
Black community foster care placement agency in
upstate New York. The need for children to become part
of a family has been stressed since its existence. The
research demonstration grant that they receive was us
ed to answer the needs of the so-called “hard to place
child”. Annette Peoples, Director of the Foster Care
Program describes “hard to place” or “special cases” as
usually black children ages 12 and over, pregnant teens,
teens with children and post and pre-institutional
children.
Referrals come to the program from family court, the
Division for Youth, Child Welfare, St. Augustine’s
School for Pregnant Teens and various other agencies.
The program has succeeded in placing children from the
inner city into foster homes and is constantly striving
for continued growth to enhance the strength of
families in the Black community.
Another phase of the program will be geared toward
establishing a preventive service component which
would help the children to remain with their natural
families. The program would also appeal to the relatives
of children presently in foster care to explore the
possibility of relatives caring for the children. St.
Augustine’s Foster Care Program is trying to secure
funds for preventive service component, and currently
there is legislation in Albany.
Comprehensive Program of Services for the Pregnant
Teenager & Teenage Parent
A new and innovative program geared to serve preg
nant teenagers and their families is the St. Augustine’s
Center Comprehensive Program of Services for the
Pregnant Teenager and Teenage Parent. Ms. Geraldine
Butler who will serve as Project Director is working
final plans for the project at the 1554 Fillmore Avenue
site.
The program is a multi-service approach geared to
help pregnant teenagers in school. It will provide an ac
cessible and effective program designed to support
families and increase the teenagers opportunity for in
dependence and self worth. Case finding is being done
through local schools, churches, community organiza
tions, and social organizations.
Service to the Pregnant Teens and Teenage Parents
include:
1) Education — Alternate setting providing
students with a full scope of curricular offerings, plus
special programs such as parenting and home manage
ment.
2) Health — Individual health education and health
care from one or more agencies, health departments,
hospitals or private physicians.
3) Social Service — Counseling services (both on
going and crisis) by social workers, counselors or school
social workers.
4) Mental Health — Assessed by consistent home
visitor, course work, group work, individual counseling.
5) Support Services — School meals, transportation,
home visits, follow-up counseling.
6) Residential Crisis Services — Short term living
arrangements in an apartment style residence called
“Comfort House” located at 1154 Fillmore Avenue.
Services to the children of teenage parents include:
Child Care, Physical Health Services, and Social and
Mental Health Counseling.
Support services will be offered to fathers of the
children and extended family members. The multi
service comprehensive program will also offer sex
education and outreach services. Program goals are: To
meet the complex needs of pregnant teenagers and
young parents, their children and significant others in
their lives. To decrease the incidence of dropouts among
pregnant teenagers and schoolage parents through the
integration of services, education, physical health, men
tal health and social services.
Student Career Opportunities Reached Thru Experience
(SCORE)
The St. Augustine Center’s Student Career Oppor
tunities Reached thru Experience Program (SCORE)
was created to provide career awareness, work ex
perience, job placement and counseling to high school
students and college freshmen, with economically disad
vantaged backgrounds. The program, located at 222
Northland Avenue, operates under the direction of Mr.
Tyrone Hargrove. Participants are recruited from area
high schools, various community agencies and the New
York State Employment Service.
The objectives of the program are three fold: (1) to im
prove education outcomes by relating teaching and
work experience to the concept of career development;
(2) to enhance the participants ability to move into entry
level positions of the labor force and (3) to provide sup
portive services such as career, employment, education
and personal counseling to participants. Career
awareness is the program’s bottom line.
Student participants are between the ages of 16-21
years. They earn a stipend for working twenty (20)
hours a week during the school year, and thirty-five (35)
hours a week during the summer vacation. SCORE has
many supportive services to offer participants such as:
group session seminars, tours, speakers, films, training
in job readiness, academic tutorial assistance and also
job placement. After developing to a satisfactory level,
the student is placed in permanent full and part-time
employment situations dependent upon individual in
terest.

�Center for Comprehensive Community Services
The Center for Comprehensive Community Services
now established in the old School 84 building, has a
variety of health and social programs which focus
primarily on the provision of preventive health services
to children and their families. On site medical and
human service needs are also met. Under medical ser
vices, the center will provide pediatric, adult medical,
obstetrics and gynecological services. The dental pro
gram is providing general care for both adults and
children. The human services component of the center
will assist clients in day to day problems such as: hous
ing, social welfare, transportation and the provision of
an array of counseling services.
Also included in the center will be a medical health
component; an Outreach Child Health Assurance Pro
gram (CHAP); Health Education; Hypertension Screen
ing Program; a Youth Employment Project and Family
Planning. The proposed approach to service delivery
will be innovative, not only because of the services of
fered but because of the approaches to service delivery
which will be utilized. The center will attempt to in
crease accessibility and coordination among its services
in the following ways:
1) The center will operate a variety of programs
beginning with a core of preventive health services.
2) The center will provide space for needed pro
grams operated by or through other agencies.
3) The center will function as a site for interaction
between community residents and representatives of
various public and private provider agencies.
4) The center will be a model for demonstrating
benefits of pooling federal, state and local resources. In
particular the sharing of certain administrative costs
will conserve scarce dollars for direct service provision.
The Board of Directors, comprised of community
leaders, human service professional and community
residents, will play key roles in developing the health
and social service needs of the community. During the
first year of operation, the center expects to provide
direct services in the following areas.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
primary ambulatory health care
community health education
health outreach
hypertension screening and treatment
mental health services
youth employment and counseling
The center is currently developing and operating on a
total of more than a half million dollars from the State of
New York and a quarter of a million dollars fro the U.S.
Public Health Service. By next year, that figure will ex
ceed one million dollars.
The coordination of federal, state and local govern
mental programs at the neighborhood level, as proposed
at the Center for Comprehensive Community Services,
as well as the family focused case management ap
proach to actual service delivery, promise to improve

the quality of life for large numbers of residents of Buf
falo’s central city area, and provide a model for future
State/Federal initiatives in human services programm
ing.
Youth Development Center No. 6
The establishment of YDC.6 in Buffalo, New York
came about as a result of a legislative mandate in 1975.
The mandate provided the establishment of a 50 bed
YDC complex for the purpose of rehabilitating
youngsters between 13 and 17 years of age. This came
at a time when the validity of YDC’s in NYC was being
questioned. The YDC No. 6 in Buffalo operates out of
1003 Genesee Street. The Genesee Street Program is a
sixteen bed unit for boys only. Under the umbrella of
YDC No. 6 is the seven bed Group Home Residence for
girls located at 567 Richmond Avenue, a seven bed
group home residence for boys located at 2238 Main
Street and a Community Outreach Program at 1184
Genesee Street. Plans are being finalized for two more
centers, one group home residence for girls at 689 Kens
ington and another residence for boys at 967 Jefferson
Avenue. All admissions to the YDC No. 6 program go
through the Genesee Street Facility. All of the centers
are within the city limits of Buffalo and easily accessible
to transportation, shopping areas and cultural and
educational facilities. YDC No. 6 has developed many
positive relations with its surrounding communities,
and is considered an integrate part of the Buffalo Com
munity. These relationships are the result of responsive,
cooperative and aggressive interaction with agencies in
the public and private arenas.
The total staff consists of approximately 52 persons
and they encourage family interaction because they feel
the family has a direct influence on the youngsters
growth and development. Youngsters entering YDC No.
6 are usually experiencing problems in school and at
home or the community. Contacts and referrals continue
to be made from city and family courts, Department of
Social Services, Board of Education, Community and
Social Agencies, Religious Organizations, Parents and
the Division for Youth.
YDC No. 6 uses a tri-phase system of instruction and
discipline for the boys program. Upon entering,
residents are placed in Phase I Orientation, and the ad
vancements to Phase 2 and 3 are contingent on the in
dividuals positive response to the program. The educa
tion component is large and an integral part of YDC.
Youngsters who complete the program receive follow-up
services and counselors by the aftercare staff. Periodic
contacts based upon youth needs are ongoing for a two
year period.
An advisory committee to YDC No. 6 is made up of a
group of dedicated community people and community
leaders, who live in the communities where YDC
facilities are located. They act as a liaison between the
community and YDC No. 6, offering suggestions and
recommendations to help improve services for youth.

�Alexander Pushkin
(1799-1837)
Russia’s greatest poet, Alexander Sergeyevich
Pushkin, was the grandson of Abram Hannibal,
the transplanted African who achieved greatness
in the armies of the Czars. Pushkin’s poetry is still
widely loved and read in Russia and, despite the
passing years, holds front rank in the land of
Tolstoy and Dostoevski.
Pushkin’s physical appearance does not fit the
common ideas of how a poet should look. He had a
short muscular frame, a head of thick, dark, curly
hair, a flat nose, thick lips and a swarthy complex
ion. Only his intensely brilliant eyes suggested
the poet within.
For his early education Pushkin was sent to
Tsarkoe Selo near St. Petersburg in 1811. He left
this school in 1818 and joined the Russian foreign
ministry as a clerk. His early poems “Ode to
Freedom” and “Noel” were thought to be critical
of the government of Czar Alexander I, and he was
sent to the south of Russia to Ekaterinoslav. Here,
he wrote “Ruslan and Ludmila,” epic of six parts,
containing 3,000 lines.
After two years in Ekaterinoslav, Pushkin was
then transferred to the small village of Kishinev in
the Caucasus. Here he began his “Eugene Onegin”
under the influence of Lord Byron’s work and after
three years in Kishnev, he was shifted to Odessa,
where he wrote the “Bakchisarai Fountain”. In
1824, he was discharged from the government’s
service and returned to his mother’s native village
of Mikhailvskoe.
Poetry became his life. In 1825 Pushkin finished
“Boris Godunov,” and in 1832, “Eugene Onegin.”
Both later became operas of the same title.
Already behind him were his Captive of the
Caucasus, a novel and “Ode to Napoleon,” plus
“The Gypsies.” In his “The Bronze Horseman,”
Pushkin expressed his concern with the rights of
the individual as opposed to those of the state. His
novel The Captain's Daughter was to influence
greatly subsequent novels in Russian literature.
Alexander Pushkin was far from the brooding
poet. He had a fiery temperament; his considerable
charm saw him through many love affairs and
dashing escapades. He married a beautiful but
frivolous woman, Nathalie Goncharova, whose
cousin engaged him in a fatal duel over her. Stilled
by death at the age of thirty-eight, Pushkin still
speaks to the world through is impassioned
poetry.

�History
Marcus A. Garvey
(1887-1940)
To some people he was a charlatan, a naive dreamer;
to others a messiah. To himself, Marcus A. Garvey was
the Negro’s best hope of finding dignity and honor, not
in America, but in his original home of Africa.
Coming to America from Jamaica in 1916, Marcus
Garvey found dissatisfaction, discontent, and frustra
tion among millions of Negroes pushed northward by
oppressive conditions in the South during World War 1.
Within two months, Garvey had recruited 1500
followers for his Universal Negro Improvement
Association (U.N.I.A.). Five years later he claimed up
wards of one million members.
A short, stocky, dark man possessing a shrewd sense
of crowd psychology, Garvey preached economic in
dependence and the return of Negroes to Africa as the
solution to being a “Negro” in the western world. In
1921 he called an international convention which at
tracted thousands of Negroes to New York City from
twenty-five countries, and laid the foundation for a
steamship company, The Black Star Line, and the
Negro Factory Corporation as devices for business and
industry among Negroes.
For five years Garvey led many of the discontented
masses in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and
other cities. He praised everything black and was
suspicious of everything white. He formed the Univer
sal Black Cross Nurses, the Universal African Motor
Corps., and the Black Flying Eagles. His newspaper,
The Negro World, carried his views and information
about the U.N.I.A. to all corners of the country. While
millions in the masses followed him without hesitation,
Negro intellectuals were skeptical of him and his pro
mises. In 1925 Garvey was imprisoned for using the
United States mails to defraud in connection with the
sale of stock in his Black Star Line, and his dream began
to fade. After serving two years in prison, he was
deported from America and died in London in 1940, a
lonely and penniless man.
Marcus A. Garvey captured the interest of the or
dinary Negro as no other leader before or since, but his
dream was based on a fatal flaw: his failure to under
stand that the overwhelming mass of Negroes con
sidered America their rightful home and had no real
desire to leaveit. His weakness lay in thinking that the
negro, after helping to build America, would abandon it.
His greatness hides in his daring to dream of a better
future for Negroes somewhere on earth.
Edmund Cronon, The Story of Marcus Garvey and the Univer
sal Negro Improvement Association (Madison, Wisconsin,
1955); E. U. Essien-Udom, Black Nationalism: A Search for an
Identity in America (Chicago, 1962), PP. 36-39.
