    Extractions: Senior Division Historical Paper, National History Day 2001 Competition AMERICA'S FIRST HOSPITALS for premature infants were built at the turn of the twentieth century at fairs, amusement parks, and expositions. These hospitals represented both a medical and a social frontier. They had a great impact on American medicine because they demonstrated the success of caring for premature infants using incubators. The incubator hospitals were a social frontier, because they challenged many of the social norms of the time, providing affordable care while marketing their product and making a large profit. The hospitals also had an impact on society as a whole because the public was exposed to new technology, which greatly improved the care of premature infants. Prior to the invention of the incubator, care of infants, including premature infants, was the responsibility of the mother, and doctors were not likely to take very much responsibility for the care of any infants. Most babies were born at home, which created a situation in which the doctor was not always readily available to care for infants. In general, doctors were "in no position to expand their direct responsibility for the newborn" (Baker 13). Because of this situation, death rates of premature infants were very high, often as much as 85 percent ("Wonderland is Now in Full Swing").

    Extractions: World's Fairs as History It is curious that in our current age of globalization, world's fairs have largely disappeared. Since World War II, there have only been four official world's fairs: in Brussels, Belgium, in 1958, Montreal, Canada, in 1967, Osaka, Japan, in 1970, and Seville, Spain, in 1992. NOTE: The Bureau of International Expositions (or Bureau International des Expositions) is the organization responsible for sanctioning World's fairs. It is based in Paris, France and was established as an international convention in 1928. However, many fairs take place unsanctioned, e.g. the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. (see http://www.bie-paris.org Although there would be influential world's fairs in the 20th century - such as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904 and the 1939 New York World's Fair, centered on "the world of tomorrow" - the second half of the 19th century was the golden age of world's fairs. The prototype for later fairs was the Crystal Palace Exposition in London in 1851, which drew more than 6 million visitors who came to celebrate the industrial revolution and view some 13,000 exhibits. The symbol of the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle was the Eiffel Tower.

    Extractions: Visitors to the Pan-American Exposition of 1901 were drawn to the predominating Electric Tower, center. "It's a great celebration of 1901," says College of Arts and Sciences dean Kerry S. Grant, the leading force behind UB's contribution to Pan-Am 2001, and himself a student of Pan-Am history and collector of Pan-Am artifacts. "It represents a time when Buffalo felt supremely optimistic and had pulled itself together as a community with the understanding that it was a major city, with the capacity to do even more. It needed to present itself to the world in that way." World's fairs and expositions were the medium of choice for spreading that message in 1901. And the message is equally relevant today.

    Extractions: Hereford Heritage The Hereford breed of beef cattle was established near Hereford, county of Herefordshire, England, nearly 300 years ago as a product of necessity. Thrifty, enterprising British farmers were seeing the need to produce beef for the expanding food market created by Britain's industrial revolution. To successfully meet this growing demand, these early-day cattlemen needed cattle which could efficiently convert native grasses to beef, and do it at a profit. No breed at that time could fill that need, so the farmers of Herefordshire developed and founded the breed that logically became known as Herefords. These early Hereford breeders molded their cattle with the goals of high beef yields and efficient production. They so solidly fixed these traits that they remain today as outstanding characteristics of the breed. Cattle with the trade-mark white faces and distinctive red bodies are instantly recognized world-wide as a time-tested, reliable source of profitable beef cattle genetics.

Every day, millions of American and European students are still being seriously miseducated about Africa. In America particularly, African-American students are dreadfully unaware of their true ancestries. Most of us have no idea where in the vast African Continent our ancestors are from. Most of us have no idea that Africa is a continent instead of a country. Most of us could not name more than two countries on the continent. Like everyone else here, we all accepted as truth the myths that we were taught to believe, that we are the descendants of slaves, that all of our ancestors arrived in Jamestown in 1609, that they were themselves descendants of subhuman, wild, undisciplined, non-Christian, tribal cannibalistic heathens who had been either purchased from warring tribes, or simply hunted down and snagged in huge nets. With so little understanding of our true roots, many of us are absolutely lost and are completely baffled when confronted with the actual documented history, the way things really were before the 400-year scourge of captivity and slavery.

In long-forgotten books, in art museums, in European and U.S. archives and private collections, a hidden history of representation awaited discovery. The Black Female Body offers a stunning array of familiar and many virtually unknown photographs, showing how photographs reflected and reinforced Western culture's fascination with black women's bodies. In the nineteenth century, black women were rarely subjects for artistic studies but posed before the camera again and again as objects for social scientific investigation and as exotic representatives of faraway lands. South Africans, Nubians, enslaved Abyssinians and Americans, often partially or completely naked and devoid of identity, were displayed for the armchair anthropologist or prurient viewer. Willis and Williams relate these social science photographs and the blatantly pornographic images of this era with those of black women as domestics and as nursemaids for white children in family portraits. As seen through the camera lens, Jezebel and Mammy took the form of real women made available to serve white society.
