...Kill the Indian, Save the Man By Jane Yu, Spring 2009 Image provided courtesy of Archives and Special Collections, Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA Students prepared to march into the academic building at the Carlisle Indian School. O f the various attempts in history that were made to solve the so-called "Indian problem" (relocation and extermination primary among them), an attempt at forced assimilation was made using education in the late 19th century. After the Civil War and Indian wars, most Native Americans were confined to reservations, reduced to a helpless state, and the American government knew little of what to do about the Indians' future status. Historian Francis Parkman once wrote in 1851 that "the aborigine was by nature unchangeable and by fate doomed to extinction." A Civil War veteran named Richard Henry Pratt believed that the Indians could become a contributing part of the population through education. He started the system of Native American boarding schools as an effort to follow through with his advocating efforts of "assimilating the red man through total immersion." Pratt's goal of "assimilation" was to systematically strip away any trace of tribal culture and to train them to become "useful" in American industrial society. "Transfer the savage-born infant to the surroundings of civilization and he will grow to possess a civilized language and habit" he wrote; more succinctly put, "Kill the Indian, Save the Man." His philosophy brought about...

...Empowerment by Assimilation or by Self-Actualization? Beginning with the first settlers from Europe in the New World, Native Americans have persistently been exploited for their land and resources. The creation of the United States of America spawned an unprecedented explosion of immigrants flocking to America, which created tensions with Native Americans over territory. Under the Jackson presidency and approved by the U.S. Congress, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 detailed a plan for the relocation of Native Americans, later known as the Trail of Tears. Standing their ground, the Native Americans resisted the advancements of the U.S. government, creating a new wave of battles within the Indian Wars. U.S. Army captain Richard Henry Pratt served as a leader for many years during those wars, firmly exercising his authority as a commander. Drawing from his experiences on the Great Plains, Pratt developed a sympathy for Native Americans, realizing that their humanistic qualities were undeniable. He wanted to test for himself if the Native Americans could truly become civilized, so he sent some of his prisoners to a boarding school for black children. When they had completed their time there, Pratt was very impressed by the results of their transformation. This gave him hope that other Native Americans could leave behind their primitive ways too. Pratt and reformers of the Quaker religion sought to preserve the Native American race through assimilation under the doctrine...

...Games and sports keep one physically and mentally fit. They keep one away from diseases relating to heart, obesity, mental stress an sleeplessness. They instill in the player a spirit of self-confidence, self-reliance, discipline, justice, fair play and patriotism. games provide us with recreation and enjoyment. Games are very essential for students but they are neglected in schools. Even parents do not have high opinion about games and they want their children to devote more time to studies. India lacks funds, and proper training facilities are not provided to the players. Sports bring rich dividends to sportsmen. The government has formulated a New National Sports Policy. Effective measures should be taken to popularize, and encourage participation in games and sports. We all are familiar with the maxim 'Health is wealth'. According to the World Health Organization, 'Health is a state of complete physical, the absence of disease.' Academics serve the purpose of nourishing the mind. But a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. One can develop and maintain a healthy body by actively participating in games and sports. Games keep our body alert, active, youthful and energetic. They instill in us a spirit of adventure. Games increase the circulation of blood, boost metabolism, burn calories and improve the respiration and digestive system. A healthy person can work hard cheerfully for a long period of time, and can face dangers boldly. Games also instill in the players...

...detail the trials and tribulations that each key character i.e. Pop Warner, James Thorpe, and Dwight Eisenhower had to overcome to become the leaders/authority figures that history remembers them by. As children/young adults, Warner, Thorpe, and Eisenhower had to overcome challenges that many people of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds can relate to. Warner was the chubby kid on his “block” who faced constant ridicule and later would grow up to one of the most iconic football coaches in the history of the sport. Once he finally grew into his body, he became a force to be reckoned with on and off of the field. People in the community had a great respect for him and his Carlisle players. Prior to Thorpe’s arrival to the school, Warner had gained the respect of his players who viewed him as a father figure. Had Warner not possessed the innate ability to communicate with his players, the Carlisle Indian School probably would not have gained such notoriety, which in turn could have never allowed the white man to realize that these Indian players were much more than heathens. Warner showed the world that his players were equivalent to the white man both on and off the field. While growing up in Oklahoma, Jim Thorpe’s youth was filled with many traumatic events that many can relate to, but none have ever experienced. With the death of his brother, and shortly after the death of his mother, Thorpe could have easily been consumed entirely in the depression that plagued his youth...

Sell and split proceeds Incompetent management or ownership Need money Business is declining (e.g. a buggywhip company) Industry-specific conditions Economies of scale BASIC DEFINITIONS: MERGER: Owners of separate, roughly equal sized firms pool their interests in a single firm.

Both hostile and friendly takeovers exist. FREEZE-OUTS (also SQUEEZE-OUTS or CASH-OUTS): Transactions that eliminate minority SH interests. HORIZONTAL MERGERS: Mergers between competitors. This may create monopolies. Government responds by enacting Sherman Act and Clayton Act VERTICAL MERGERS: Mergers between companies which operate at different phases of production (e.g. GM merger with Fisher Auto Body.)
