Curator sarah levit shows us what architecture can reveal about how the mentally ill were cared for over time. We decided to do this exhibition for many reasons, one of which, i think its a real important moment to be talking about the role of the federal government in providing Public Health and providing healthcare for the mentally ill and what that role has been over the time. I think it is an interesting time to talk about that. Also, right now, at st. Elizabeths in d. C. , its really a time where theyre looking to develop the land. Its now split into two halves, the federal government owns half of it and it will become the department of Homeland Security, which is something thats happening right now and also development is really starting on the east campus, which is owned by the city of washington, d.

President ial elections. So were going to start with this, and im calling on the work of Professor Robert dallick, a well known historian. He writes the 20th century saw an unprecedented expansion of president ial powers, primarily due to the vision and leadership skills of nine men, who served in the office. Theodore roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, harry s. True man, dwight eisenhower, john f. Kennedy, banes johnson, Richard Nixon and ronald reagan. Now, the professors analysis only looks at the 20th century. Im going to throw in some of the president s from the 21st century as we go along. So if we can go to the first slide. The professor talks about these six points. The first one he says is vision. The second is charisma. Im going to go back and talk about these. The second is charisma, the third in pragmatism. Well move to the next slide. The fourth is consensus building, followed by trust or credibility, luck, and then im going to throw in, which is on the last sli

He also describes how radical movements in art and literature clashed with the dominant cultural norms of the time. This class is just under an hour. I want to look at the debate in the early 20th century over what is called modernism. How these things work into some of the anxieties we have been talking about really all semester about the rise of modern america and spilling over into the postwar years. Lets look at some quotes from people we have heard from before in the semester to reestablish what the if those was. Walter lippman 1914. He says we can no longer treat life as something that will trickle down to us. We have to deal with it deliberately, devise its social organization formulate its methods, educate and control it.

On the development of National Parks, he points out that the parks were established in the 19th century, but there was no one to protect them, or preserve them.
