  Wisconsin Engineer - April, 1997
It shows that the steel in Science Hall's attic beams is very low in carbon (~.1-.15%) and hot rolled from the Carnegie Co. The floor joists are a slightly higher carbon content (~.4-.45) from the J. Walker foundry.
Science Hall became the oldest building in the world to use significant amounts of steel in its frame, when the Chicago Home Insurance Building was demolished around 1930.
Science Hall has been shown to have a special place, not only in the history of the UW-Madison campus but in the history of modern building.

 SCIENCE, MODELS AND INFERENCE
Modeling is an art as well as a science and is directed toward finding a good approximating model of the empirical data as the basis for statistical inference from those data.
I see 3 groups of graduate students that might benefit from this class:  those interested in science and general science methods, those interested in model-based inference in the biosciences, and those interested in general quantitative methods.
Students should be keenly interested in science and have a good background in least squares methods (e.g., “regression") or likelihood methods and have some experience and interest in modeling.

 ARS helps science flourish at 1890 Schools - Agricultural Research Service, colleges formed under the Morrill Act of ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Also in 1890, there was an update to the 1862 Morrill Act, which provided for the establishment of at least one land-grant college in each state.
Although the Morrill Act of 1890 was passed to further fund those 1862 institutions, it contained a history-making provision: that states practicing racial discrimination in admissions to 1862 schools could not share in the additional funds provided by the 1890 act.
As the 100th anniversary of the 1890 Morrill Act neared, the research outlook at the historically fl land-grant institutions was considerably brighter.

 Lights of the Church and Science (1890)
For, if it be true that the Canonical Scriptures have innumerable points of contact with civil history, it is no less true that they have almost as many with natural history; and their accuracy is put to the test as severely by the latter as by the former.
For, to my mind, this declaration of war to the knife against secular science, even in its most elementary form; this rejection, without a moment's hesitation, of any and all evidence which conflicts with theological dogma–is the only position which is logically reconcilable with the axioms of orthodoxy.
It is raked alike by the old-fashioned artillery of the churches and by the fatal weapons of precision with which the enfants perdus of the advancing forces of science are armed.

 1890
The 1890 Act promoted segregation by providing for it in the language of the Act, by providing schools to divert students who wished to enter the white colleges into, and by submitting a group of influential fl leaders to the Southern state legislatures.
However, the 1890 Act provided that a state could establish separate colleges, one white and one fl, and still be in compliance with the Act.
They could also use the 1890 funds for agriculture and mechanics and divert the funds that were used for previous agricultural and mechanical studies to the classical studies.

 CSEC LIBRARY -- Millenarianism
This [1890] is the five thousand, eight hundred and ninety-fourth year of the world.
In the chapter on Marriage [in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy], we are taught that "the formation and education of mortals must improve before the Millennium can arrive." Here is a bare hint which should be carefully noted, that Divine Science is to play an important part.
On page 514 [of Science and Health (1890)] we read, "The twelve tribes of Israel and all mankind—separated by belief from their divine origin and their true, spiritual being,—shall return, through the spiritual idea, to their Divine Principle, and dwell in the harmony of Science.

In 1876 he began his long association with Columbia; he was professor of political science and constitutional law until 1912.
Burgess, with Nicholas Murray Butler, was a major influence in the creation (1880) of a faculty and school of political science, the first such faculty organized for graduate work in the country and the chief step in changing Columbia College into a university.
He was dean of the Faculty of Political Science from 1890 until his retirement.

It is not the correct attitude from the standpoint of science; for science realizes that the nation is an organized whole, in continual struggle with its competitors.

Science notebooks are a place where students hone their writing skills to formulate and refine questions, make predictions, record data, describe procedures, compose reflections and communicate results.
The use of science notebooks in classrooms across the country has grown steadily in recent years, yet few resources are available to support teachers in using this important teaching practice well.
The Science Notebooks Web site was developed through the work of the North Cascades and Olympic Science Partnership, a five-year National Science Foundation funded project led by Western Washington University, that is focused on improving the teaching and learning of science at all levels.

In November l992, USDA agency heads and 1890 institution presidents met to set new goals for the 1890 Initiative.
Another example of the ongoing association between ARS and 1890 Schools is the work done at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
“One aspect of the ARS initiative in 1987 was to establish a series of postdoctoral positions at 1890 Schools, working on campus and collaborating with ARS scientists,” recalls Harold M. Farrell, Jr., a supervisory research chemist in the Biochemistry and Chemistry of Lipids Laboratory at the ARS Eastern Regional Research Center (ERRC) at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 USDA bolsters science at 1890 schools - US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The $3.4 million, 15,847-square-foot research station will house Tennessee State University (TSU) and ARS scientists working on breeding new varieties of landscape trees and shrubs, developing biocontrols for insect pests, and testing new techniques for propagating, irrigating, and storing nursery crops.
"This is the first plan in ARS to have scientists stationed at an 1890 Land-Grant institution," said ARS Administrator R. Dean Plowman at the March groundbreaking ceremony.
The goal was to bolster the capacity of 1890 schools to contribute to the American food, fiber, and agriculture system--primarily through cooperative research, technology transfer, and outreach service to agroindustries.

 Light Course: Tenth Lecture
In Science today — and this applies above all to the teacher — it is most important to develop a right way of thinking upon the facts and phenomena presented to us by Nature.
The period when Science thought that it had golden proofs of the universality of waves and undulations was followed, as we say, by a new time.
In a word, if we only go by the resources of Natural Science as it is today, we have at first no means whatever of deciding, how our own geometrical or kinematical ideas are related to what appears to us in outer Nature.
