Age to Age
Age to Age is the fourth studio album, and sixth album by Christian music singer Amy Grant, released in 1982 on Myrrh Records.
"Age to Age" was Amy Grant's breakthrough album, finally earning her serious recognition within the burgeoning Contemporary Christian music community as it ushered her into stardom, and also contributed to the creation of the mold for the modern Contemporary Christian music star. The hit success of the album's first two singles, "Sing Your Praise to the Lord," featuring a piano intro based on J.S. Bach's "Fugue No. 2 in C Minor" from The Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1, and "El Shaddai," saw its sales take off, selling well over a million copies. It became | 26,112 |
1055502 | Age to Age | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Age%20to%20Age | Age to Age
the first Christian music album by a solo artist to be certified gold in 1983, and the first ever platinum Christian music album in 1985.
The album was listed at No. 92 in the 2001 book, "" and it was one of the fastest-selling specifically Christian albums ever released. It sold about 5–-6,000 copies a week on average, which was unheard of for a Christian album at the time. Dan Harrell, one of Amy's managers, claimed that it was the fastest selling record in her record company's history. Indeed, it became the first Christian album by a solo artist to be certified gold (1983), and the first Christian album to be certified platinum. It became so popular that it topped Billboard's Christian albums | 26,113 |

A deluxe edition was reportedly slated for release by EMI on June 10, 2008, however, when EMI released its June 2008 release schedule,it was not listed.

Young Life
Young Life is a religious organization that is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The organization was started in Dallas, Texas in 1941 by Presbyterian minister Jim Rayburn. Young Life operates globally as several different organizations with different focuses.
# History.
In 1939, Presbyterian minister Jim Rayburn started the Gainesville, Texas chapter of the Miracle Book Club for high school students. The book club became Young Life on October 16, 1941. The headquarters moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1946. Young Life volunteer leadership began in the 1940s at Wheaton College, Illinois. At the beginning of Young Life's ministry its focus was directed almost completely | 26,116 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
to suburban high school students. By the early 1950s, it had begun ministries in approximately 25 urban areas. Young Life now has over 700 ministries located in 324 cities, reporting about 18,000 members.
# Camps and clubs.
Young Life maintains summer camps in 18 American states as well as camps in British Columbia, Canada, the Dominican Republic, The United Kingdom, Armenia, and France. These camps incorporate Christian messages presented in a camp setting along with typical camp activities. The most recent Young Life property is Camp Lonehollow in Vanderpool, Texas, purchased in the Spring of 2019.
The largest of Young Life's camps is the "Washington Family Ranch" (and accompanying "Big | 26,117 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
Muddy Ranch Airport") in Antelope, Oregon. The ranch was formerly the site of Rajneeshpuram, an intentional living community centered on the Rajneesh movement, which in September 1984 used it to carry out the largest terrorist bioweapons attack on US soil.
Young Life also runs local Young Life clubs for high school students, held weekly and typically in homes, which include singing, skits, and where the Christian gospel is explained in short talks. There are around 700 Young Life Club chapters worldwide, and usually one Club is associated with one high school. Each club is composed of volunteers who contribute their time to mentor and assist high school students based on Christian values and | 26,118 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
principles
## Camp properties.
The following is a list of properties operated by Young Life.
## Young Life International.
Young Life began an international program in the 1940s focusing on teens living on military bases. Shortly after that, Young Life expanded from military bases to ministry with local adolescent kids. Young Life International reports divisions in more than 100 countries.
# Social Issues.
In November 2007, Jeff McSwain, the Area Director of Durham and Chapel Hill, along with others, was fired after taking issue with the organization's "sin talks." McSwain's theology emphasizes that "God has a covenant, marriage-like relationship with the world he has created, not a contract | 26,119 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
relationship that demands obedience prior to acceptance [as in that of Young Life]." Tony Jones describes Young Life’s Statement of "non-negotiables" as telling staffers that "they must not introduce the concept of Jesus and his grace until the students have been sufficiently convinced of their own depravity and been allowed to stew in that depravity". Eight members of Young Life's teaching staff based in Durham, North Carolina resigned their positions after these "non-negotiables" were announced.
## Young Life's Policy on Homosexuality.
While Young Life lets all students, LGBTQ included, participate in Young Life activities, no (openly) LGBTQ person can be a leader or volunteer in the organization. | 26,120 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
The policy cannot be found on the organization's national website. However, it can be found when local chapters put their staff/volunteer forms online. The "Faith and Conduct Policies for Staff and Volunteers" is where Young Life's anti-gay policy is stated. It resides under the heading of "Sexual Misconduct" and it states,
"With regard to the delicate matter of homosexual lifestyle and practice, in the light of the biblical data regarding creation, Young Life believes such activities to be clearly not in accord with God’s creation purposes.
On the basis of these theological affirmations which flow from our understanding of the Scriptures, we therefore must state very clearly that Young Life | 26,121 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
staff members and volunteers shall not engage in sexual misconduct.
We do not in any way wish to exclude persons who engage in sexual misconduct or who practice a homosexual lifestyle from being recipients of ministry of God’s grace and mercy as expressed in Jesus Christ. We do, however, believe that such persons are not to serve as staff or volunteers in the mission and work of Young Life."
## Sexual Misconduct Policy & All Volunteers.
Young Life's policy can extend to not only members of the LGBTQ community, but LGBTQ allies as well. While young athlete, Connor Mertens' dream of being a Young Life leader was rejected for being gay, another local leader, Pam Elliott, stepped down after being | 26,122 |
1055500 | Young Life | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Young%20Life | Young Life
asked to remove a photo from her Facebook page showing her support for the LGBTQ community.

Portrait Gallery (album)
Portrait Gallery is the fifth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, released in 1975.
# Trivia.
An early version of "Someone Keeps Calling My Name", done in a folk-rock vein reminiscent of The Byrds, appeared on the obscure 1966 album Chapin recorded with his brothers, "Chapin Music!". The main guitar riff (and entire arrangement) in this version is strikingly similar to The Blue Things' equally obscure 1966 track "Doll House."
The album artwork was designed and illustrated by Milton Glaser.

Railnews
Railnews is a national monthly newspaper and news website for the British railway network.
# Content.
"Railnews" concentrates on issues important to employees of the railway industry, such as investment, careers, changes to industry structure, and political developments, as well as industrial relations and other trade union matters. It also maintains a focus on the people of the rail industry, rather than the companies alone. As a trade title covering the modern industry, it is not designed for railway enthusiasts or the heritage railway market.
The ethos of "Railnews" is to be "dispassionate, objective and accurate". Following this, "Railnews" never carries unmarked advertorials, | 26,136 |
1055535 | Railnews | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Railnews | Railnews
although much of its advertising revenue does come from major rail firms and franchise operators.
# History.
"Railnews "was originally the house newspaper of British Railways (later British Rail), published by the British Railways Board. It first appeared in 1963 with a price of 6d, replacing the former magazines which had been produced for each railway Region, although Regional 'slip' pages continued for many years. From 1978 to October 1996 it was issued free to all employees of British Rail. In late 1996, as a result of the privatisation of British Rail, production ceased. In February 1997 the title was revived by some former BR managers, with Sir William McAlpine as Chairman and Cyril | 26,137 |
1055535 | Railnews | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Railnews | Railnews
Bleasdale OBE FCILT as Managing Director. Both have maintained these positions ever since. Only four months went by between the ending of the BR version and the launch of its independent successor.
# Today.
"Railnews" is no longer a house journal with a particular stance to maintain and, although fully supportive of the industry it serves, it carries objective, balanced reports. Distributed to both individual subscribers and large railway companies (who have corporate subscriptions) it penetrates the entire industry from trackside to boardroom.
The newspaper and website were both fully redesigned in February 2012, bringing a new, cleaner, more modern look to the title. Since September 2009 | 26,138 |

Burt Lake
Burt Lake is a 17,120 acre (69 km²) lake in Cheboygan County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The western shore of the lake is on the boundary with Emmet County. The lake is named after William Austin Burt, who, together with John Mullett, made a federal survey of the area from 1840 to 1843.
The lake is approximately 10 miles (16 km) long from north to south, about 5 miles (8 km) at its widest, and 73 feet (22 m) at its deepest. Major inflows to the lake are the Maple River, which connects with nearby Douglas Lake, the Crooked River, which connects with nearby Crooked Lake, and the Sturgeon River which enters the lake near the point where the Indian River flows out of the lake into | 26,140 |
1055518 | Burt Lake | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burt%20Lake | Burt Lake
nearby Mullett Lake.
The lake is part of the Inland Waterway, by which one can boat from Crooked Lake several miles (km) east of Petoskey on the Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan across the northern tip of the lower peninsula's so-called mitten to Cheboygan on Lake Huron. Along with nearby Mullett Lake and Black Lake, it is noted for its population of Lake Sturgeon, which briefly held the record of largest sturgeon caught in the USA.
YMCA Camp Al-Gon-Quian and Burt Lake State Park are both located on the southern shore of the lake. The unincorporated community of Burt Lake is on the southwest shore on M-68. Interstate 75 passes to the east of the lake, with two interchanges near the south | 26,141 |

1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
Wapping Tunnel
Wapping or Edge Hill Tunnel in Liverpool, England, is a tunnel route from the Edge Hill junction in the east of the city to the Liverpool south end docks. The tunnel alignment is roughly east to west. The tunnel was designed by George Stephenson with construction between 1826 and 1829 to enable goods services to operate between Liverpool docks and all locations up to Manchester, as part of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It was the first tunnel in the world to be bored under a city. The tunnel is long, running downhill from the western end of the long Cavendish cutting at Edge Hill in the east of the city, to Park Lane Goods Station near Wapping Dock in the west. The Edge | 26,144 |
1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
Hill portal is near the former Crown Street Station goods yard. The tunnel passes beneath the Merseyrail Northern Line tunnel approximately a quarter of a mile south of Liverpool Central underground station.
# History.
Liverpool is built on an escarpment running down to the River Mersey. The original proposal for the railway out of Liverpool was a route north along the docks and riverbank. This route proved problematic with local landowners. The new route entering the city centre from the east required considerable engineering works in addition to the tunnel. The 1 in 48 gradient of the tunnel was much too steep for the power of the steam locomotives of the day. A large stationary steam engine | 26,145 |
1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
was installed at the Cavendish cutting at Edge Hill in a short tunnel bored into the rock face on the side of the cutting, near a decorative Moorish Arch spanning the cutting. Goods wagons were hauled by rope up from the Park Lane goods station at the south end docks. The goods wagons were hitched to locomotives at the Edge Hill junction for the continuing journey to all locations from Liverpool to Manchester. The tunnel opened in 1830 closing on 15 May 1972.
The dockside portal to the tunnel is clearly visible on Kings Dock Street. This was the middle of three short exit tunnels at the western end, which met in a short open ventilation cutting between Park Lane and Upper Frederick Street. | 26,146 |
1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
The quoted length of 2030m includes both the main tunnel and the short exit tunnel.
The Edge Hill entrance is still open to the atmosphere, however not accessible to the public. The portal is the central of three tunnels at the western end of the Cavendish cutting. The right hand tunnel is the original 1829 tunnel into Crown Street Station. The left hand tunnel is the later 1846 tunnel into the Crown Street goods yard. This tunnel currently has tracks, for use as a headshunt and locomotive run-round for goods trains. However, artwork from before the third tunnel was constructed shows that a portal was already present from the outset - this was purely for architectural symmetry and is, in fact, | 26,147 |
1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
a store room.
Other visible evidence of the tunnel still exists, in the form of three imposing red-brick ventilation towers. One is on the landscaped park between Crown Street and Smithdown Lane, one on Blackburne Place ("illustration"), and one close to Grenville Street South. There were at least two others that were later demolished, one adjacent to Great George Street, and one by Myrtle Street.
# Plans for partial reinstatement of tunnel.
In the 1970s, during planning work for the Merseyrail underground in Liverpool city centre, there were two proposals to use parts of the Wapping Tunnel or Waterloo Tunnel (Victoria Tunnel) to connect Liverpool Central underground station and Edge Hill | 26,148 |
1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
junction. During the construction of the Merseyrail network in the 1970s a part of the new tunnel south out of Central Station passed over the Wapping Tunnel at right angles. The new tunnel dropped into the upper part of the Wapping tunnel reducing its height. This would require lowering the floor of the tunnel at this point to allow trains to pass. When the junction on the Northern Line tunnel south of Central station was built in the late 1970s, two header tunnels were constructed to cater for branching into the Wapping Tunnel.
In May 2007 it was reported that Merseytravel Chief Executive Neil Scales had prepared a report outlining the possibilities for reuse of the tunnel. The November 2016 | 26,149 |
1055530 | Wapping Tunnel | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wapping%20Tunnel | Wapping Tunnel
refresh of Mersytravel's Long Term Strategy references a "Wapping Tunnel Scheme" in Network Rail's period. Merseytravel hope to re-use the tunnel to create new underground connections into burrowing junctions south of Liverpool Central station on the Northern Line to allow trains to run between Central station and Edge Hill station and beyond.
Merseytravel commissioned a feasibility study into the re-opening of the tunnel which was completed in May 2016. The study was focused on using the Wapping Tunnel to connect the Northern and City Lines together and the possible creation of a new station along the route to serve the city's Knowledge Quarter. The report found that the Wapping Tunnel was | 26,150 |

The study was focused on using the Wapping Tunnel to connect the Northern and City Lines together and the possible creation of a new station along the route to serve the city's Knowledge Quarter. The report found that the Wapping Tunnel was in good condition though suffered from flooding in places and would require some remedial work, however the concept of re-opening the tunnel was viable.

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers (also called Raising Cane's) is a fast-food restaurant chain specializing in chicken fingers, that was founded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by Todd Graves and Craig Silvey on August 26, 1996. While company headquarters remain in Baton Rouge, a second restaurant support office was opened in Plano, Texas in 2009, followed by a third in August 2018 in North Platte, Nebraska. The company has 430 restaurants in the United States, plus an additional 20 restaurants internationally.
# History.
Todd Graves first started dreaming of his own restaurant in the early 1990s. Craig Silvey, an initial partner in Todd's plan, was enrolled in a business | 26,152 |

plan writing course at LSU at the time. They wrote the business plan and Silvey turned it in, for which Silvey received a "B-". Although the business plan was rejected numerous times by potential investors, Graves set out to earn the money he needed to start the restaurant, first by working in refineries in California, then by fishing for sockeye salmon in Alaska. He and Silvey then obtained an SBA loan, which they used to open the first restaurant in Baton Rouge at the intersection of Highland Road and State Street near the LSU campus. They even drew on the help of friends and family for some of the work on Cane's #1, and many of these names are carved in the restaurant woodwork. Originally, | 26,153 |
1055495 | Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raising%20Cane's%20Chicken%20Fingers | Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
the small restaurant competed against a similarly themed drive-in called Bailey's Chicken Fingers on the opposite end of the campus. By 1999, however, it was able to prove itself the more successful business, as it forced Bailey's out of business, becoming the only chicken-finger focused restaurant on campus.
In mid-1999, Silvey sold his stake to Graves to focus on completing an MBA at Wake Forest University and work in Silicon Valley. Later, Graves asked Silvey to return as vice president of finance and information technology.
Todd Graves started his business with a focus on charity and giving back to their communities. Approximately 25% of profit is given back to communities, with focuses | 26,154 |
1055495 | Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raising%20Cane's%20Chicken%20Fingers | Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
particularly on education, feeding the homeless, animal welfare, healthy lifestyles, and business development. Since 2011, the chain has participated in Lemonade Day, a non-profit organization that teaches children how to run their own business. On May 9, 2019, Graves personally donated $100,000 to martial artist Chuck Norris' Kickstart Kids non-profit organization in Houston, which focuses on teaching kids strong moral character through martial arts.
## Name.
Graves and Silvey, who both worked as salmon fishermen in Alaska to raise money to open the first Raising Cane's restaurant, were going to name the chain "Sockeye's Chicken Fingers," after the Sockeye salmon they fished for. The two | 26,155 |
1055495 | Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raising%20Cane's%20Chicken%20Fingers | Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
decided not to name their restaurant after the fish to avoid confusion in whether the restaurant sold seafood or chicken fingers. They were later convinced to name it after Graves's dog, a yellow Labrador, "Raising Cane," called "Cane" for short. Grave's younger sister wanted to name the puppy Sugar Cain. She liked this because she thought he was sweet and it had a Louisiana flare because of all the sugar cane farming in the state. Graves' didn't want his dog to be called Sugar, so he suggested calling the dog Raising Cane. His sister agreed as long as Cane was spelled C-A-N-E to denote that he was still sweet. The name is also a pun on the term "Raising Cain", which is biblical reference to | 26,156 |

Cain and Abel in the Book of Genesis, and its a term meaning to cause havoc or create problems. "Raising Cane I" died of old age, "Raising Cane II" died on 11 September 2016, and the most recent mascot for the restaurant, Raising Cane III, was announced by Graves on 27 January 2018.
Many of the restaurants have a disco ball and a painting of Elvis Presley, photos of Raising Cane I, II, and III, as well as local artifacts such as sports apparel and high school playbills.
## Logo.
The original Raising Cane's was established in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the North Gates of Louisiana State University, at the intersection of East State Street and Highland Road. When remodeling the building, Graves | 26,157 |

discovered a hand painted sign featuring the logo from a previous business, Wolf's Bakery, under the cracking plaster on the south interior wall. It is a takeoff on the one for the bakery. The remains are still visible and intact on the wall inside the restaurant.
# Expansion.
By 2008, the chain had grown to over 50 locations. Most of these locations were in Louisiana, particularly in the Baton Rouge area. The first location outside of Baton Rouge opened in 2001 in Lafayette. Since then, 430 restaurants have opened in 26 other states, in addition to all eight metropolitan areas of Louisiana. Graves plans to continue expanding the chain throughout the United States and internationally.

the United States, the chain has at least one restaurant in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Other than restaurants owned by Raising Cane's itself, the company has franchise partners that operate restaurants within certain regions of the United States. For example, Alaskan and Hawaiian restaurants are operated by Panda Restaurant Group, while restaurants in Ohio and Northern Kentucky are operated by RCO Limited.

the company opened a second restaurant support office in Plano, TX; by August 2018 the third support office opened in North Platte, NE. In June 2011 it opened its 100th restaurant in Laurel, Mississippi. In February 2013 it opened its 150th location in San Antonio, Texas. The 250th location opened in December 2015 in Lake Jackson, Texas. In November 2016 Houston, Texas hosted the 300th restaurant's opening, on Rice & Westpark Tollway. In October 2017 Stillwater, Oklahoma was the site of the 350th store. The 400th store opened in Beavercreek, OH in October 2018. Store number 450 opened in Lubbock, TX in July 2019.

2015, opening its first international restaurant in Kuwait. Graves and his staff members made the menu halal compliant, changing food ingredients, storage, and customer service, in ordinance with Islamic law. A noticeable difference at these international locations is that its namesake mascot, Raising Cane, is not seen on signage and merchandise, as dogs are not as popular in Kuwait as they are in the United States. Currently, in total, seven restaurants have opened in Kuwait, nine in Saudi Arabia, two in Bahrain, and one each in Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. This adds up to a total of 20 international restaurants for the chain.
As of 2019, the company has still yet to announce any | 26,161 |

restaurant openings in any other particular regions or countries.
# Menu.
Raising Cane's offers a limited menu consisting of four main combos: "The Box Combo," "The 3-Finger Combo," "The Caniac Combo" and "The Sandwich Combo." It also includes a Kid's Meal and several sizes of bulk chicken items called Tailgates, available in quantities of 25, 50, 75, or 100 chicken fingers, as well as their special Cane's sauce.
The company only uses fresh, never frozen chicken tenderloins, uses a special marination, and fries each finger in canola oil. Their french fries are made with only Grade A potatoes, fried in canola oil, and lightly salted afterwards. Their Texas toast is made from sesame seeded | 26,162 |

The company's signature Cane's Sauce is made with a secret blend of seasonings and spices and is made fresh every day in each kitchen. Only managers at Cane's have access to the recipe and they are held to a confidentiality agreement regarding any details of the sauce. If customers wish, they can also opt for either honey mustard or Louisiana hot sauce at no extra charge.

Sainte-Geneviève Library
Sainte-Geneviève Library () is a public and university library located at 10, place du Panthéon, across the square from the Panthéon, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. It is based on the collection of the Abbey of St Genevieve, which was founded in the 6th century by Clovis I, the King of the Franks. The collection of the library was saved from destruction during the French Revolution. A new reading room for the library, with an innovative iron frame supporting the roof, was built between 1838 and 1851 by architect Henri Labrouste, The library contains around 2 million documents, and currently is the principal inter-university library for the different branches of | 26,170 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
University of Paris, and is also open to the public.
# History.
## The Monastic library.
The Abbey of St Genevieve is said to have been founded by King Clovis I and his queen, Clotilde. It was located near the present church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont and the present Panthéon, which was built atop the original abbey church. The abbey was said to have been founded at the beginning of the 6th century at the suggestion of Saint Genevieve, who selected the site, across from the original Roman forum. She died in 502 and Clovis died in 511, and the basilica was completed in 520. It held the tombs Saint Genevieve, Clovis, and his descendants.
By the 9th century, the basilica had been transformed | 26,171 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
into an Abbey church, and a large monastery had grown up around it, including a scriptorium for the creation and copying of texts. The first record of the existence of the Sainte-Genevieve library dates from 831, and mentions the donation of three texts to the Abbey. The texts created or copied included works of history and literature, as well as theology, However, in the course of the 9th century, the Vikings raided Paris three times. While the settlement on the Ile-de-la-Cité was protected by the river, the abbey of Saint-Genevieve was sacked, and the books lost or carried away.
The library was gradually reassembled. During the reign of Louis VI of France (1108-1137) the Abbey had a particularly | 26,172 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
important role in European scholarship. The doctrines originally taught by Saint Augustine, and promoted by Suger (1081-1151), the influential religious advisor to the King, required the reading aloud of scriptures, and specified that each monastery have a workshop to produce books and place to keep them. From 1108 tp 113, the scholar Peter Abelard taught at the Abbey school, challenging many aspects of traditional theology and philosophy.
Around about 1108, The theology school of the Abbey of Saint Genevieve, was joined together with the School of Notre Dame Cathedral and the school of the Royal Palace to form the future University of Paris.
By the early 13th century the university library | 26,173 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
was already famous throughout Europe. The early holdings of the library from this time are listed in a 13th-century inventory (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS lat. 16203, fol. 71v). The 226 titles and authors included in the 13th century inventory include bibles, commentaries and ecclesiastical history; but also books on philosophy, law, science and literature. It was open not only to students, but also to French and foreign scholars. The manuscripts were of considerable value: each manuscript was marked with a warning notice that any person who stole or damaged a manuscript would be punished anathema, or the excommunication from the church.
## 15th Century to the 18th century.
Shortly | 26,174 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
after Gutenberg produced his first printed books in the mid-15th century, the library began collecting printed books. The University of Paris invited several of his collaborators to Paris to begin a new publishing house. The library possesses a text of the "Song of Poliphile" published in 1499, with engravings after the drawings of Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini. At the same time, the Abbey continued to produce manuscripts illuminated by hand. The Wars of Religion seriously disrupted the activities of the library. In the 16th and 17th century he library ceased to acquire new books and stopped producing catalogs of its holdings. Many anuscripts were dispersed and sold.
The library was | 26,175 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
brought back to life beginning in 1619, during the reign of Louis XIII of France, by Cardinal Francois de Rochefoucauld, He saw the library as an important weapon of the Counter-Reformation against Protestantism . He donated six hundred volumes from his personal collection. The new library director, Jean Fronteau, reached out to writers including Pierre Corneille, and famous librarians including Gabriel Naudé, to update and expand the collection. However, he had to leave, under suspicion of being a heretical Jansenist. He was succeeded by Claude Du Mollinet, librarian from 1673 until 1687. Du Mollinet founded a famous small museum, the "Cabinet of Curiosities", with Egyptian, Greek and Roman | 26,176 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
antiquities, medals, rare minerals and stuffed animals, within in the library. By 1687 the library possessed twenty thousand books, and four hundred manuscripts.
During the late 18th century, the library acquired copies of the major works of the Age of the Enlightenment, including the "Encyclopédie" of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert. In the same spirit, the library and the Cabinet of Curiosities were opened to the public. The Library was still attached to the Abbey and the University of Paris, but it ceased to be a only library of theology; by the mid-eighteenth century a majority of the works were in other fields of knowledge. While the Abbey still paid part of the cost, the major | 26,177 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
part was paid by the City of Paris.
## The Revolution and its aftermath.
Following the French Revolution, the status of the Library changed dramatically. In 1790, the Abbey was secularized, and all of its property, including the library, was confiscated, and the community of monks who ran the library was broken up. Due to the diplomatic skills of the director, Alexandre Pingré, his reputation as an astronomer and geographer, and his contacts within the new government, the collection was not dispersed, and actually grew, as the library took in the collections confiscated from other Abbeys. The library was granted equal status with the National Library, the future Mazarine Library and Arsenal | 26,178 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
Library, and could draw books from the same sources. Pingré remained as direct until his death in 1796.
In 1796, the name of the library was changed; it became the National Library of the Pantheon. named for the neighboring Abbey church, then under construction, which had also been confiscated and renamed. While the collection of books remained intact, the famous cabinet of Curiosities was broken up and some its collection was dispersed to the National Library and Museum of Natural History. However, the Library did manage to retain a large number of objects, including the celebrated astronomical clock, the oldest example of its kind, acquired by the library in about 1695, and a variety of terrestrial | 26,179 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
and celestial globes, as well as objects illustrating cultures around the world, which are on display in the library today. The library also displays a notable collection of eighty-six busts of French scientists, some made by the leading French sculptors of the 17th and 18th centuries, including busts by Antoine Coysevox, Jean-Antoine Houdon, and François Girardon.
## The early 19th century.
The library continued to flourish in the early 19th century, under the French Directory and then the Empire of Napoleon. After the death of Pingré the library was directed by a Pierre-Claude Francois Daunou. He traveled to Rome, following Napoleon's army, and arranged for the transfer to Paris of books | 26,180 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
confiscated from the Papal collections. The library also received collections of books confiscated from nobles who had fled abroad during the Revolution. At the time of the fall of Napoleon, the library had a collection of one hundred ten thousand books and manuscripts.
The fall of Napoleon and the restoration of the monarchy brought new problems for the Library. The collection of the ibrary had more than doubled in size, and needed more space. However, the library shared the 18th century building of the old Abbey Sainte-Genevieve with s prestigious school, originally known as the central school of the Pantheon, then as the Lycée Napoleon, and then and today as the Lycée Henri IV. The two institutions | 26,181 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
battled for space between 1812 and 1842. Though the library was supported by famous writers, including Victor Hugo and Jules Michelet, the son of King Louis-Philippe was a student at the lycée, and the lycée won. The library was finally expelled from its building. Some features of the old building, including the painted dome, can still be seen within the Lycée.
## The Labrouste building.
After the expulsion of the library from its old site, the government decided to build a new building for the collection. It was the first library in Paris to be constructed specifically as a library. The site chosen was close to the old library. It had originally been occupied by the medieval Collége Montaigu, | 26,182 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
where Erasmus and Ignatius of Loyola, John Calvin and François Rabelais. had been students. After the Revolution that building had been transformed into a hospital and then a military prison, and was largely in ruins. It was to be demolished to make way for the new library.
The architect chosen for the project was Henri Labrouste Born in 1801, he had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where won the Prix de Rome in 1824, and spent six years studying Italian classical and Renaissance architecture. He had received few architectural commissions, but in 1838 he received the title of Inspector of Historic Monuments, and in this capacity he began to plan the new building. Since the Lycée wanted the | 26,183 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
space as soon as possible, all the books had been moved in 1842 to a temporary library in the only surviving building of Montaigu College In 1843 His project was confirmed by the Chamber of Deputies in 1843, and a budget voted. The building was completed in December 1850. and opened to the public on February 4, 1851.
The new library showed the influence of the prevailing academic beaux-arts style and the influence of Florence and Rome, but in other ways it was strikingly original. The base and facade resembled Roman buildings, with simple arched windows and discreet bands of sculpture. The facade, exactly the length of the reading room, and the large windows, expressed the function of the building. | 26,184 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
The primary decorative element of the facade is a list of names of famous scholars.
Unlike earlier buildings, the major decorative element of the building was not on the facade, but in the architecture of the reading room. the slender iron columns and the lace-like cast iron arches under the roof were not concealed; combined with the large windows they gave an immediate impression of space and lightness. It was a major step in the creation of modern architecture.,
The large (278 by 69 feet) two-storied structure filling a wide, shallow site is deceptively simple in plan: the lower floor is occupied by stacks to the left, rare-book storage and office space to the right, with a central vestibule | 26,185 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
and stairway leading to the reading room which fills the entire upper story. The vestibule was designed to symbolize the beginning of a journey in search of knowledge, the visitors arrives through a space decorated with murals of gardens and forest and passes busts of famous French scholars and scientists. The monumental staircase from the ground floor to the reading room is placed so it doesn't take any space from the reading room. Labrouste also designed building so that a majority of the books (sixty thousand) were in the reading room, easily accessible, with a minority (forty thousand) in the reserves. The iron structure of this reading room—a spine of sixteen slender, cast-iron Ionic columns | 26,186 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
dividing the space into twin aisles and supporting openwork iron arches that carry barrel vaults of plaster reinforced by iron mesh— is revered by Modernists for its introduction of high technology into a monumental building.
Labrouste went on to design the Salle Labrouste, the main reading room in the old Bibliothèque Nationale de France in the Rue de Richelieu, Paris, built between 1862 and 1868. Later in the century, the American architect Charles Follen McKim used the Sainte-Geneviève Library building as the model his design of the main building of the Boston Public Library. It also influenced the design of university libraries in the United States, including Low Memorial Library at Columbia | 26,187 |

University in New York and the Doe Library of the University of California at Berkeley by John Galen Howard, also a former student of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
## Later years - expansion and modification.
Between 1851 and 1930, the library's collection grew from one hundred thousand volumes to over a million, requiring a series of reconstructions and modifications. In 1892, a hoist was installed to lift books from the reserves to the reading room; it is now on display. A more serious change was made between 1928 and 1934. The number of seats in the reading room was doubled to seven hundred fifty. To accomplish this, the seating plan of the reading room was drastically changed; the | 26,188 |
1055504 | Sainte-Geneviève Library | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sainte-Geneviève%20Library | Sainte-Geneviève Library
original plan had long tables which stretched the entire length of the room, divide by a central spine of bookshelves, making the room seem even longer. In the new plan, the central bookshelves were removed and tables crossed the room, increasing the seating but reducing the linear effect. As the collection continued to grow, a new annex in the modernist style was added in 1954. The later computerization of the catalog created space for an additional one hundred seats. The building was classified as a national historic monument in 1992. Today the library is classified as a national library, a university library and a public library.

Northwest Indian War
The Northwest Indian War (1785–1795), also known as the Ohio War, Little Turtle's War, and by other names, was a war between the United States and a confederation of numerous Native American tribes, with support from the British, for control of the Northwest Territory. It followed centuries of conflict over this territory, first among Native American tribes, and then with the added shifting alliances among the tribes and the European powers of France and Great Britain, and their colonials.
Under the Treaty of Paris (1783), which ended the American Revolutionary War, Great Britain ceded to the U.S. "control" of what were known as the Ohio Country and the Illinois Country, | 26,193 |
1055471 | Northwest Indian War | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northwest%20Indian%20War | Northwest Indian War
which were occupied by numerous Native American peoples. Despite the treaty, the British kept forts there and continued policies that supported the Native Americans. With the encroachment of European settlers west of the Appalachians after the War, a Huron-led confederacy formed in 1785 to resist usurpation of Indian lands, declaring that lands north and west of the Ohio River were Indian territory. President George Washington directed the United States Army to enforce U.S. sovereignty over the territory. The U.S. Army, consisting mostly of untrained recruits and volunteer militiamen, suffered a series of major defeats, including the Harmar Campaign (1790) and St. Clair's Defeat (1791). About | 26,194 |
1055471 | Northwest Indian War | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northwest%20Indian%20War | Northwest Indian War
1,000 soldiers and militiamen were killed and the United States forces suffered many more casualties than their opponents.
After St. Clair's disaster, Washington ordered Revolutionary War hero General "Mad" Anthony Wayne to organize and train a proper fighting force. Wayne took command of the new Legion of the United States late in 1792. After a methodical campaign up the Great Miami and Maumee river valleys in western Ohio Country, he led his men to a decisive victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers near southwestern Lake Erie in 1794. Afterward he went on to establish Fort Wayne at the Miami capital of Kekionga, the symbol of U.S. sovereignty in the heart of Indian Country. The defeated tribes | 26,195 |
1055471 | Northwest Indian War | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northwest%20Indian%20War | Northwest Indian War
were forced to cede extensive territory, including much of present-day Ohio, in the Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The Jay Treaty in the same year arranged for cessions of British Great Lakes outposts on the great U.S. territory.
# Background.
Control of the area south of the Great Lakes and north of the Ohio River was contested for centuries. European influence first began with the Dutch and English supported the Iroquois in the 17th century Beaver Wars. In the 18th century, the region became a focal point for colonial wars between France and Great Britain, especially in the Ohio Country. The French and Indian War initiated when France and Virginia disputed control of the area, and the different | 26,196 |
1055471 | Northwest Indian War | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northwest%20Indian%20War | Northwest Indian War
Native nations in the region supported their favored trade partners (French or British) or remained neutral. In the Treaty of Paris (1763), France ceded control of the region to the British, although many French colonials remained and Native nations resisted the arrival of British control in Pontiac's War. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix attempted to fix the boundary between Virginia, Pennsylvania, and native lands.
One of the causes of the American Revolutionary War was the dispute between the British government and the British colonials who wanted to settle in the region. During the course of the war, American forces captured outposts in the lower areas | 26,197 |
1055471 | Northwest Indian War | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northwest%20Indian%20War | Northwest Indian War
of the territory, but British forces maintained control of Fort Detroit. Additional actions in the Western theater of the American Revolutionary War further damaged relations between the United States and many of the region's native inhabitants. In 1780, British and Native American forces swept across the Midwest to clear the territories of rebels and Spanish forces, attacking St. Louis and Cahokia and Kentucky, but were repulsed in both battles. Within months, General George Rogers Clark retaliated by crossing the Ohio River and attacking Shawnee towns Chillicothe and Piqua. Two of the last battles of the Revolutionary War include the 1782 Siege of Fort Henry and Battle of Blue Licks, both | 26,198 |
1055471 | Northwest Indian War | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Northwest%20Indian%20War | Northwest Indian War
attacks by British and Native Americans on settlers across the Ohio River in Virginia and Kentucky. In the Treaty of Paris, Great Britain ceded control of the region, but the native nations were not party to these negotiations. Many preferred to trade with the British rather than the young United States, and British agents continued to operate in the region and influence the residents.
The young United States negotiated the Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784), in which the Iroquois Nations ceded control of the region, but the Iroquois leaders refused to ratify the treaty because it gave away too much land, and the Western Confederacy refused to recognize any right of the Iroquois to give away control | 26,199 |
