In The Beginning, Lee W. Lenz

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

This article traces the early history of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, California, starting ca. 1867 with the Portolà Expedition. The expedition was the first to record the site where the botanic garden later came to be located, in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County. Successive changes in land ownership eventually led to the Bixby family purchasing the land in 1875. Susanna Bixby Bryant, the founder of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, acquired the land in 1925.

This article sketches the horticultural climate of southern California in ca. 1900–1930, documenting a rising interest in California native plants. Influential figures in the realm of California botany and horticulture are introduced, especially Theodore Payne. Pomona College, Claremont, expresses an interest in the establishment of a botanical garden.

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Letters exchanged between Susanna Bixby Bryant, the founder of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, and several leading southern California botanists and horticulturalists (especially Ernest Braunton, Willis Linn Jepson, and Theodore Payne) in 1925–1926 document her steps toward creating a botanical garden devoted to the native California flora.

An Independent Institution, Lee W. Lenz

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Covering the period from approximately 1927 to 1947, this article deals with the management and running of the fledgling Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, featuring the publication of botanical and horticultural papers, the founding of the journal El Aliso, and detailed accounts of field work devoted to the collection of plants for the living collection and herbarium. This period of time also saw several challenges, notably serious damage from a wildfire in 1943, wartime constraints, and the death of the founder and managing director of the garden, Susanna Bixby Bryant.


The Botanic Garden Moves, Lee W. Lenz Jan 1977

The Botanic Garden Moves, Lee W. Lenz

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

In 1950, the decision was taken to relocate Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden from its original site—Mrs. Susanna Bixby Bryant's ranch in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County—to today's Claremont location in eastern Los Angeles County. The move reflected a wish to align the founder's mandate to "foster scientific research and public welfare" by seeking affiliation with the Claremont Colleges. The change enabled it to train graduate students in botany and related fields and draw more visitors to a garden devoted to native California plants. Accounts describe how the new site was adapted to its purpose, including the construction of …

Case Comment: Desegregating A Demographically Changing School District--Pasadena City Board Of Education V. Spangler, Ellen Bowman Welsch Jan 1977

Case Comment: Desegregating A Demographically Changing School District--Pasadena City Board Of Education V. Spangler, Ellen Bowman Welsch

Seattle University Law Review

In Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education the Supreme Court suggested, by negative implication, that a court supervising the desegregation of a school district can require school officials to eliminate resegregation caused solely by natural demographic changes if school officials have not yet achieved a unitary system. The Court's holding in Pasadena City Board of Education v. Spangler, however, demonstrates that the Court did not intend this negative implication. Under Spangler, once school officials have eliminated state-imposed segregation from student assignment, the supervising court cannot require school officials to redraw attendance zones to eliminate non-state imposed resegregation even though the …


New York City School Decentralization: The Respective Powers Of The City Board Of Education And The Community School Boards, Kenneth R. Mcgrail Jan 1977

New York City School Decentralization: The Respective Powers Of The City Board Of Education And The Community School Boards, Kenneth R. Mcgrail

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The city of New York constitutes a single school district and the city Board of Education is charged with the general management and control of educational affairs in the city school district. The Board is subject to the plenary powers of the State Board of Regents and the State Commissioner of Education. Local school boards existed within the city school district but functioned largely advisory roles until the State Legislature began restructuring the New York City School District in 1968 and major legislation changed the city district into a decentralized system. The change resulted from the belief that community-base school …


Book Review - Urban School Chiefs Under Fire, Donald L. Herdman Jan 1977

Book Review - Urban School Chiefs Under Fire, Donald L. Herdman

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Urban School Chiefs Under Fire, by Larry Cuban, gives life to the study of the urban environment by inviting the readers to meet and experience life with three giants of the public school system, Benjamin Willis (Chicago), Carl Hansen (Washington, D.C.), and Harold Spears (San Francisco). Dr. Cuban's stimulating and well-documented biography of three powerful urban leaders permits readers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of these men, and their service during periods of great urban sensitivity to ethnic imbalance and economic decay. Dr. Cuban not only provides personal vignettes of these three men but also engages the reader …


Note: Bilingual Education - A Problem Of "Substantial" Numbers Jan 1977

Note: Bilingual Education - A Problem Of "Substantial" Numbers

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This unsigned note argues that the Supreme Court should reexamine the rights of language minority students under 42 U.S.C. §2000d in order to clarify its holding in Lau v. Nichols. In that case, the Court established the right of non-English speaking children to receive compensatory language instruction under that statute. The note analogizes language minority children to handicapped children who the Court has held are entitled to receive a minimal education which is geared toward their needs. Since language minority students may not be able to obtain minimal education without compensatory language instruction, they may be entitled to such instruction.
