Disinvited from Graduation Ceremony Office Student protest. This is an hour. Good afternoon, and welcome to the city club of cleveland. My name is paul harrison. Im pleased to introduce todays speaker, president and cofounder of the American Council of trustees and alumni. As stated on its website, acta is on Academic Freedom, the website states that the ideas of Academic Freedom and free speech are at the core of academic speech. And freedom in research is essential to the advancement of truth. Todays forum offers a wonderful opportunity to juxtapose freedom of speech and Academic Freedom and just a moment to reflect on our 102year history at the city club of cleveland. We proudly refer to the city club as in 1923, the city club invited famous labor leader, socialist and perennial president ial candidate eugene deps to speak and he accepted. Asking mr. Depps to speak, caused ultimately mr. Depps determined to decline the invitation and he wrote that he was feeling disinclined to intru
Chuse. They even spelled it 18th century style. Choose its speaker and other offices. There were no other duties mentioned. It was assumed since the founders knew all about speakers from colonial ledge islators that what the speaker was. A presiding officer, but in our congress the speaker was not only a presiding officer, he quickly became the powerful person because he appointed committees. And that evolved as Party Systems evolved, First Congress didnt have organized parties the twoparty system developed the speaker became the leader of the majority party. And took on political ramifications. The constitution is very silent on this of the powers. The power of the speaker are what the speaker can make of them and thats the unique part of it and some have exercised great power where they even rivalled the presidency in terms of setting the National Agenda. Most of those in recent times, but also 100 years ago, two powerful republican speakers, thomas bracket reed and joe cannon of ill
It is closed so that crews can go ahead and install a movable median barrier thats meant to prevent headon collisions on the span. The sections are connected with a system that replaces an old one which was pylons that would be placed by hand. 10,000 feet have been installed. The total length just under 12,000 and zipper trucks help align them. We may see some of those zipper trucks out tonight. Although physically we may not see them because it is dark. Theres other work happening too. They have completed installation of toll booths. The east sidewalk remained open to pedestrians and cyclists who had been watching the work going on earlier in the day.

Editorinchief, james bennet. Thank you, commissioner, for being with us today. [applause] i thought id open with a familiar, oftrepeated statistic that i thought i should repeat again. Youll correct me if i have it wrong. In 1990, there were 2,245 homicide in the city of new york, which i think was the record mark. And last year there were 333 homicides in the city of new york. Though the population had grown by a Million People in the meantime, and there are however many millions more visitors to the city every year.
