		Stuyvesant's own roomy and picturesque house was likewise of stone, and was known far and near as the Whitehall, finally giving its name to the street on which it stood.
		Stuyvesant himself sent counter protests; and also made repeated demands for more men and more money, that he might put into good condition the crumbling and ill-manned fortifications, which, as he wrote home, would be of no avail at all to resist any strong attack that might be made by the ever-threatening English.
		Stuyvesant had continued without cessation to beseech the home government that he might be given the means to defend the province; but his appeals were unheeded by his profit-loving, money-getting superiors in Holland.

		Director General Stuyvesant, without a fleet or any real army to defend the colony, was forced to surrender the colony to the English war fleet without a struggle.

		Eleven Stories High: Growing Up in Stuyvesant Town, 1948--68 is a memoir of my middle class New York childhood, and the particular perceptions of a girl growing up in a housing project where the apartments and buildings are identical and you're prohibited from walking on the grass.
		For these are scenes from a childhood that was free of hardship, a childhood that was privileged, and--dare I say it?--relatively happy, and a portrait of a place, Stuyvesant Town, that was a comfortable, middle-class community, a utopia of the Fifties.
		Stuyvesant Town, with its unexpected charm is as strong a character as any I've encountered in personal narrative.

		While Stuyvesant admits only the city’s finest students, through a process that is free of subjectivity and nepotism, its hiring decisions are far less merit-driven.
		On his first attempt to transfer, members of Stuyvesant’s faculty were able to persuade him that he was not up to the task of teaching the accelerated Stuyvesant curriculum.
		In other words, at least 16 percent of the total Stuyvesant staff was composed of teachers who received their jobs because of seniority (or race and ethnicity) rather than professional accomplishments.

	Decision No. 13,477
		On March 30, 1995, the assistant principal of Stuyvesant High School informed respondent's deputy director that he had spoken with the proctor responsible for administering the exam to Mosah and that the proctor was unaware of excessive noise in the gym.
		Respondent contends that the appeal is untimely, that Mosah cannot be admitted to Stuyvesant High School because he failed to achieve a cut-off score, and that Mosah is not eligible for summer school because he fails to meet the admission criteria.
		The cut-off score shall be determined by arranging the scores of all candidates who took the examination and who then commit themselves to attend the school in descending order from the highest score and counting down to the score of the first candidate beyond the number of openings available.

	Letter regarding the effects of excluding Bean Stuyvesant from nonhopper dredging in U.S. markets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		CBO believes that the exclusion of Bean Stuyvesant could reasonably be expected to attract a "replacement bidder" for between 40 percent and 80 percent of the available work, by value, on which Bean Stuyvesant could have been expected to bid.
		Estimating the effects of excluding Bean Stuyvesant on the number of bidders for the jobs on which it could have been expected to bid requires that the degree to which the other firms have historically bid in competition with Bean Stuyvesant be taken into account.
		If no firm replaced Bean Stuyvesant's excluded bidding activity and the average number of bidders declined fully by one firm, the Corps's nonhopper dredging costs would be expected to rise by about $11 million per year in the affected geographic regions, or by about $850,000 per contract.

		Vecellio says opening a discussion on the dropping Stuyvesant's coverage of a portion of Kinderhook is not payback but rather a part of the process that Stuyvesant started.
		Complicating the situation for Stuyvesant Falls firefighters is the fact that two officers of the company live in the portion of Kinderhook that Stuyvesant Falls firemen serve.

		This analysis is based on Corps's data on nonhopper dredging bids for contracts awarded from 1999 to 2002 in the Atlantic and Gulf regions, the geographic areas in which Bean Stuyvesant primarily operates.
		If Bean Stuyvesant were excluded from bidding on nonhopper dredging contracts, the number of bidders responding to the Corps's IFBs would probably change.
		Those average cost increases would be slightly higher if the increase in bidding by the remaining firms (to replace bids Bean Stuyvesant would otherwise have made) resulted in a drop in their bidding elsewhere.
