Bennington College was founded in 1932 as a women's college focusing on arts, sciences, and humanities and became co-educational in 1969. The campus itself is a modified farmer's field - the administrative building is a converted dairy cow barn - but the architecture that has been erected since the land was donated by the Jennings family at the height of the Depression has made the campus look anything but farm-like.

Archaeology - Survey. A modern archaeological project often begins with a survey. Regional survey is the attempt to systematically locate previously unknown sites in a region. Site survey is the attempt to systematically locate features of interest, such as houses and middens, within a site. Each of these two goals may be accomplished with largely the same methods. Survey was not widely practiced in the early days of archaeology. Cultural historians and prior researchers were usually content ...

Once artefacts and structures have been excavated, or collected from surface surveys, it is necessary to properly study them, to gain as much data as possible. This process is known as post-excavation analysis, and is normally the most time-consuming part of the archaeological investigation. It is not uncommon for the final excavation reports on major sites to take years to be published. At its most basic, the artefacts found are cleaned, catalogued and compared to published collections, in order to classify them typologically and to ...

Main article: History of archaeology The history of archaeology has been one of increasing professionalisation, and the use of an increasing range of techniques, to obtain as much data on the site being examined as possible. Excavations of ancient monuments and the collection of antiquities have been taking place for thousands of years, but these were mostly for the extraction of valuable or aesthetically pleasing artefacts. It was only in the 19th century that the systematic study of the past through its physical ...

Main article: Archaeological theory There is no single theory of archaeology, and even definitions are disputed. Until the mid-20th century and the introduction of technology, there was a general consensus that archaeology was closely related to both history and anthropology. The first major phase in the history of archaeological theory is commonly referred to as cultural, or culture, history, which was dev ...

Brian briefly worked as a "drug-sniffing" dog for the police department, screening luggage at the airport, but became addicted to confiscated cocaine and quit the force to attend rehab. Brian later worked as a waiter while trying to be a screenwriter in Hollywood; he ended up directing several award-winning porn movies. Brian was briefly Chris' English teacher (where he was known as "Mr. Griffin"). He loved the job, but was soon reassigned to teach remedial English, beginning a parody of "Dead Poet's Society". His class, comprised ent ...

The University's campus is located on Claverton Down, two kilometres from the Unesco World Heritage City of Bath. The campus is extremely compact, and it is possible to walk from one end to the other in fifteen minutes. Architectural plans of the University show that the design involved the separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, with road traffic on the ground floors and pedestrians on a raised central thoroughfare, known as the Parade. Buildings would line the parade and student residences ...

In the Family Guy universe, dogs seem to fall into one of two classes: talking, anthropomorphic creatures like Brian and his cousin Jasper, and non-intelligent, more realistic dogs, such as his mother Biscuit. Both classes are subject to the same rules, such as not being allowed inside some shops or to wander the streets without an owner. Brian's "humanity" is rarely remarked upon, a notable exception being the occasion when Peter's boss, Mr Wee ...

The U.S. uses a grade notation and year naming system that is not well understood in other countries. Unlike other nations, Americans prefer to use ordinal numbers rather than cardinal numbers for grades in ordinary speech. Thus, when asked what grade they are in, a typical American child is more likely to say "fourth grade" rather than "Grade 4." The following is the typical ages and grade groupings in public and priv ...

This new building became quickly overcrowded and an annex was established on 26th Street. This addition, however, did not help with the increase in school-aged youth beginning to attend school by World War I. During the 1920s, campaigning was begun by the school's alumni to provide a proper building, and in 1926 ground was broken for a massive Collegiate Gothic stone castle with a 40 acre (160,000 m²) campus, on a hill in the newly-annexed northeastern suburbs at 33rd Street and The Alameda. This new structure cost almost 3 million dollars (1926 dollars) and ...
