History Of The Swiss American Historical Society, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

4. Years of Silence*

Professor Senn realized that the society faced many difficulties. For one thing, membership had dwindled. There were 45 life members but only 61 annual members who had paid their dues for 1949. The treasurer considered them "fairly active" even though few had paid their dues for 1950 and only three of four for 1951. Swiss clubs and organizations had stopped paying their membership dues as long back and 1939. True, there was a stack of 120 cards of former members but they had not been hard from since the early 1940s. This was a bleak picture …

Introductory Remarks, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The present newsletter contains four items which, hopefully, will be of interest to SAHS members. Professor Heinz K. Meier presents the fourth part of his history of the Swiss American Historical Society. He shoes with much tact and lucidity how the organization almost vanished in the late 1950's and how its revival occurred largely due o the efforts of Dr. Lukas F. Burckhardt, then Cultural Counselor of the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington.

Bookreviews, George A. Codding Jr.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Dear Dr. Burckhardt:

During the research for a new book on Swiss federalism, I had the occasion to renew my acquaintance with a book which has probably received far less attention among those interested in Switzerland than it perhaps should have. The book in question is William Gorhan Rice, Law Among States in Federacy: A Survey of Decisions of the Swiss Federal Tribunal in Intercantonal Controversies (Appleton, Wisconsin: C.C. Nelson Publishing Company, 1959), the writing of which was subsidized, according to the author, by the Penrose Fund of the American Philosophical Society and the University of Wisconsin.

An American Glances At Switzerland: Horace Greeley's Swiss Journey 1851

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

I left Milan an 5 o'clock on the morning of the 10th, via Railroad to Como, at the foot of the Lake of like name, which we reached in an hour and a half, thence taking the Swiss Government Diligence for this place, via the pass of St. Gothard. Even before reaching Como (only some twenty miles from Milan), the spurs of the Alps had begun to gather around us, and the little Lake itself is completely embosomed by them. Barely skirting its southern border, we crossed the Swiss frontier and bade adieu to the Passport swindle for a season, …

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Charles Edouard Jeanneret, commonly known as Le Corbusier, was one of the most outstanding architects of this century and possibly its most seminal urban designer. Born in 1887 in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Le Corbusier moved to Paris in 1916 and later became a French citizen. He died in 1965 while swimming off the coast of Cote d'Azur.

From Saanen In The Canton Of Berne To Nipissing - A Little Known Episode Of Swiss Emigration To Canada, Emile-Henri Bovay

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Some two hundred miles north of Toronto on the road to Burk's Falls, just outside Magnetawan, is an old farm field, shoulder-high in hay. Tucked back in a corner of the field, barely visible from the road, is an old post archway. It is closed with pagewire fencing. Inside the fence, wild fern has all but totally obscured a pioneer graveyard, a memorial to Swiss settlers who helped to open up the country south of Lake Nipissing. Most of the inscriptions on the gravestones are still readable. he names they bear leave no doubt as to the Bernese origin of …

Book Review: La Genese De Nova Friburgo. Emigration Et Colonisation Suisse Au Bresil 1817-1827, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Nicoulin's work on the making of Nova Friburgo is a thoroughly researched and well-presented study, but somewhat limited in its interpretive dimensions. Manuscript materials in Swiss federal, state, and village archives have been extensively consulted as well as archives in Rio de Janeiro and in Nova Friburgo. The author has furthermore perused a great many printed sources all of which enabled him to reconstruct the story of an emigration which in 1819 involved over 2000 Swiss and had the active support of Swiss governments as well as of Brazilian authorities. A 70-page appendix offers the reader a useful sample of …

Introductory Remarks, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

On Saturday, December 1, 1973, some thirty members attended the 1973 annual meeting of the SAHS at the Swiss Town House on 35 West 67th Street in New York City. It was a clear, sunny say which had made travelling pleasant and smooth. The Swiss Town House proved again to be a hospitable place to meet in, especially due to the expert hose, Mr. John Brunner. When the business meeting had closed somewhat earlier than anticipated, Mr. Brunner had quickly some excellent Swiss wine served, and also the luncheon was first-rate as to food and service.

Based on the differences between the Book of Mormon text and the King James version, and upon the confirmation of those Book of Mormon differences by the other traditions, it was concluded that The Book of Mormon follows its …

A Q-Sort Comparison Between Cultural Expectations Of Chinese And Cultural Perceptions Of Returned Latter-Day Saint Missionaries From The United States Who Had Been Assigned To Chinese Missions, Gary G. Y. Chu

Theses and Dissertations

This project was designed to generate information relative to a specific intercultural communication situation, especially directed toward diversity between cultural expectation and performance in the following areas: first, Chinese expectation of American Latter-day Saint missionaries' performance in Chinese contexts; and second, performance of the missionaries, as reflected by their knowledge of proper conduct in Chinese contexts at the end of their missions.

Using Q-card sorting procedures and t-test analysis, an analytically developed instrument consisting of seventy statements grouped in six behavior categories was applied in the specific areas. Twenty-nine of the seventy statements showed significant diversity. Four of the hypothesized …
