The Boston Globe

Between the 1630s and 1660s, waves of immigrant and religiously oppressed Puritans upon the Winthrop fleet traveled from England to New England, and settled in the region known as the Massachusetts Bay. In opposition to existent New England inhabitants, Puritans established a colony in resistance to the throne, altering the religious, political, and social advancement of forthcoming New England colonies. As a result of the Puritan 's mind set on work ethic and commonwealth ideals, the economic…

the shoreline that touched Beacon Hill extended east of Charles Street. Originally, the land which the shoreline extended to in 1630 belonged to John Singleton Copley, a famous painter of the time. Justin Winsor, writes in The Memorial History of Boston: Including Suffolk County ..., Volume 4, that “In 1771…[Copley] owned all the land which lies between Charles, Beacon, Walnut, and MT. Vernon streets, Louisburg Square and Pinckney Street, - about eleven acres” (387). However, the onset of the…

with my future goals as a therapist. What drew me to Emerson’s program was the metropolitan city of Boston, where the university is located, and the diversity in clients with whom graduate students have the opportunity to serve. Through the on-campus clinic experience at the technologically advanced Robbins Center and the multitude of off-campus clinical practices that are accessible to students in Boston and surrounding areas, I feel confident that I will gain experience in all areas of the…

Fall River, Massachusetts is a city just about an hour south of Boston College. I have lived there my entire life. I moved once, but it was only to the other side of the city. Having accumulated, then, twenty years of experiential knowledge living in Fall River, I thought I knew more about the city than – it turns out – I do. The way that I know Fall River, and the way that I portray my home town to others, is as a large, diverse, economically-challenged, dead end city. This does not paint the…

Morning Josh and Fanyons! Marilyn asked me to hold the fort while she is on vacation this week and I'm happy to help as she is making her way to unite with old friends, make new ones and just have fun this week! So here goes. . . Today is Columbus Day and that seems the perfect holiday to celebrate as our fellow adventuring Fanyons are packing for and traveling to GRL in Atlanta. They are trekking across the United States, from Canada, across the Pacific and the Atlantic to meet up with Facebook…

Even thou William Hutchison was very successful and brought a large estate to the New England.

They Built a house on a lot of lands and was one of the largest on the peninsula with a timber frame and two stories. (The house would stand up until 1711…

As the Puritans spent more time in the new world, John Winthrop’s vision for a religious ‘City on a Hill’ transformed into a society with less religious fervor because problems with the natives and a desire for more secular goods and possessions made it hard and not popular for the Pilgrims to actively practice their religion. From the beginning of the Massachusetts Bay colony, John Winthrop explicitly states the intentions for the colony to be a religious haven for Puritans when he says that…

As the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay colony, John Winthrop eagerly established his position through his writings, both in “A Model of Christian Charity” in his attempt to induce the colonists to accept their position working for the good of the whole colony and in his journals. Winthrop simply desires that the colonists will work and live in amity, however any opposition to his authority poses a threat he cannot effortlessly overlook. Mary Dyer, the woman addressed by Winthrop in his…

Everyone I have met at Mitty has inspired me to want to attend myself. Since my brother is a Mitty student, I have gotten to witness firsthand how much he enjoys Mitty. When I was a guest to Kristen Voelker, I was delighted to have that viewpoint validated, as it was very obvious she enjoyed her time at Mitty. Throughout that day, I was greeted by many people, freshmen, and seniors alike, and all were friendly. The positivity just broadened my favourable view of Archbishop Mitty High School. I…

QUESTION 1: Where were the first Settlement houses, founded by whom and for what reason? How did they differ from Charity Organizations in their views of families, in their views of society’s responsibility to the poor and their views of social welfare as a helping mechanism? The first settlement houses were founded by Stanton Colt and Charles B. Stover, The neighborhood build of NewYork in 1887. The concept was to transport the priviledged and the unpriviledged to over thrown the effects of…
