Melvil Dewey was born in 1851 in Adams Center, NY and became known as the Father of Librarianship. In 1876, he created the revolutionary Dewey Decimal System while working as a librarian at Amherst College. In 1887, Dewey directed the nation's first library school at Columbia College, establishing librarian education. Throughout his life and career, Dewey accomplished innovations like founding the Lake Placid Club in 1895 where he worked to bring the Olympic Games to Lake Placid, which was realized after his 1931 death.

Josiah holbrook
Josiah Holbrook (1788-1854) was an American educator born in Derby, Connecticut who attended Yale College and developed interests in chemistry and mineralogy. After inheriting his family farm and teaching school, he conducted a manual training school and founded the Agricultural Seminary in 1824-25. He promoted the Lyceum movement to provide mutual instruction through libraries, museums, and public schools, establishing the first Lyceum in Millbury, Massachusetts in 1826. While collecting mineral specimens in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1854, Holbrook fell from a cliff and drowned in a creek.

The Lake Placid Club, 1890-2002
On the morning of January 1, 2002, the wrecking ball swung into the brick exterior of the Agora Wing, the last surviving vestige of the old Lake Placid Club. As the Club came down, memories arose across the North Country of its former grandeur, its role in creating winter sport and two Olympic Winter Games, and its place as the employer of thousands of area residents. People also recalled its long slide downhill, beginning during the Depression, and ending in 1980 in United States Bankruptcy Court.

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in England and had a difficult childhood, as his father was sent to debtors' prison when Dickens was young. He worked in a factory as a child and drew from his life experiences to write novels that explored social and political issues during the Victorian Period, focusing on the lives of the middle and lower classes. Some of his most famous novels include Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and David Copperfield, which was his most autobiographical work. Dickens rose to fame with the publication of The Pickwick Papers in 1837 and brought attention to social problems through his writing.

Indian Arts and Crafts

In 1996, Bill Reid sold a bronze sculpture to the Vancouver International Airport Authority for $3 million, making him the highest-paid Canadian artist to that date. An image of this
sculpture, The Spirit of Haida Gwaii, adorned the Canadian twenty-
dollar bill from 2004 until 2012, and the original casting of the sculpture
stands in front of the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC. Reid’s
journey to this position as a Haida artist and Canadian icon provides
some insight into the often contradictory role of indigenous imagery in
visual representations of Canadian culture and identity. While Reid’s
work was certainly inspired by his ancestral ties, he learned technique
in a jewellery-making course at the Ryerson Institute of Technology in
Toronto, and he learned the fundamentals of Northwest Coast design
from two books, in particular. One of these books is the American
museum director Robert Bruce Inverarity’s Art of the Northwest Coast
Indians, which was published in 1950; the other is Alice Ravenhill’s
A Corner Stone of Canadian Culture: An Outline of the Arts and Crafts of
the Indian Tribes of British Columbia.1

1 Alice Ravenhill, A Corner Stone of Canadian Culture: An Outline of the Arts and Crafts of the
Indian Tribes of British Columbia (Victoria: British Columbia Provincial Museum, 1944).
In Tippett’s interpretation, Reid was consistently ambiguous about his identity for the first
twenty years of his career. His decision to promote himself as an “all Indian” artist did not
come about until the 1970s, after he received a Canada Council fellowship. While Reid had
Haida ancestry and ties to the Haida village of Skidegate, and his great-great-uncle, Charles
Edenshaw, as well as his grandfather, Charles Gladstone, were both Haida artists, his mother
was raised to “become more white and less Haida,” and his father was a “white man” in the
frontier of northern British Columbia in the early twentieth century. See Maria Tippett, Bill
