Republicanism And The Law Of Inheritance In The American Revolutionary Era, Stanley N. Katz
Republicanism And The Law Of Inheritance In The American Revolutionary Era, Stanley N. Katz
Michigan Law Review
This Article deals with the history of the law of inheritance during the era of the American Revolution, but its focus is actually more general, for it ultimately seeks to determine what sort of revolution we experienced. For the historian the problem is quite familiar, but a few observations seem pertinent. It is at least possible to argue that our colonial forefathers were not waging a revolution at all. Rather, one might say they were fighting what we should now call a colonial war of independence in which the overriding issue was "home rule." On this hypothesis, the main slogan …

Aliens And Equal Protection: Why Not The Right To Vote?, Gerald M. Rosberg
Aliens And Equal Protection: Why Not The Right To Vote?, Gerald M. Rosberg
Michigan Law Review
A constitutional right of at least some aliens to vote does not seem to me at all unthinkable. Throughout much of the nineteenth century and part of the twentieth, aliens enjoyed the right to vote in a great many states. The states that extended the franchise to aliens plainly did not believe that they were acting under constitutional compulsion. But given our present understanding of the mission of the equal protection clause, much can now be said in defense of such a constitutional right. My purpose here is to outline the case that might be made for the right of …

In The Beginning, Lee W. Lenz
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.

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
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 …
