The Marti School, 1947=1964, Fritz Marti

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The Marti School was founded in 1947 in lower Salem, Ohio, first under the name of the Marti Farm Home School, and then the Berglihof School, for the benefit of the six Marti children. Dr. and Mrs. Marti felt they could not let the children waste half of their youth in the necessarily slow moving rural school of the neighborhood.

"Religion And Philosophy": Selections From Fritz Marti's Collected Papers, L. S.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

For the layman the philosopher's quest is at times difficult to comprehend, and yet, we neglect his world at our own peril. Even if we do not grasp the full meaning of his answers, or worse, if we do not even understand his questions, our effort will nevertheless be rewarded. It will at least reveal that surface reality may be likened to a shield that protects from those arrows of questions that target the mysterious abyss of which we humans are all a part and whose contemplation is bound to set us free.

Don Diego De Silva: Spanish American Ambassador In England, 1564-1568, Jack K. Nielsen

Theses and Dissertations

Father's childhood was spent in Feuerthalen, a small town in Canton Zurich, Switzerland.

More than anything else the young engineer wanted to widen his horizon and to gain some experience to follow-up his sound professional training, which he owed in part to Professor Wilhelm Ritter and to three years in the field in Switzerland and Germany. To his surprise he was immediately employed by Joseph …

Introduction, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

By accident, or evolution if you will, rather than by design, this issue of the SAHS Newsletter has become a special number devoted entirely to the great Swiss-American bridge builder Othmar H. Ammann who was born one hundred years ago in Feuerthalen, Canton Zurich. Sincere thanks are due to Mr. Urs Widmer, mayor of Winterthur, whose special interest in Ammann led to the production of most of the materials used in this Newsletter, and to Dr. Margot Ammann Durrer whose personal reminiscences add a delightful human touch to the story.
