The Difference

Founded in 1837 to provide a denohinational foreign mission board for the Old School Presbyterians, the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions (PBFM) had from the outset a very different outlook toward mission work among slave-holding Indians than did its closest rival, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), which served the New School Presbyterians and New England Congregationalists. The difference increased until 1859 when the latter organization, unable to reconcile its antislavery conviction with the determined proslavery position of the southern Indians, withdrew from that field. The PBFM, headquartered in New York City, thereupon took under its patronage most of those ABCFM missionaries who had been abandoned by their Boston-based board for refusing to expound and practice an antislavery position among the Choctaws, Cherokees, Chickasaws, Seminoles and Creeks.

Loyal Customers

New York City launched a restaurant sanitation letter grade system in 2010. We evaluate the impact of customer loyalty on restaurant revisit intentions after exposure to a sanitation grade alone, and after exposure to a sanitation grade plus narrative information about sanitation violations (e.g., presence of rats). We use a 2 (loyalty: high or low) × 4 (sanitation grade: A, B, C, or pending) between-subjects full factorial design to test the hypotheses using data from 547 participants recruited from Amazon MTurk who reside in the New York City area. Our study yields three findings. First, loyal customers exhibit higher intentions to revisit restaurants than non-loyal customers, regardless of sanitation letter grades. Second, the difference in revisit intentions between loyal and non-loyal customers is higher when sanitation grades are poorer. Finally, loyal customers are less sensitive to narrative information about sanitation violations.

Outside lending in the New York City call loan market: evidence from the Panic of 1907

The Difference

Before the Panic of 1907 the large New York City banks were able to maintain the call loan market's liquidity during panics, but the rise in outside lending by trust companies and interior banks in the decade leading up the panic weakened the influence of the large banks. Creating a reliable source of liquidity and reserves external to the financial market like a central bank became obvious after the panic. In the call loan market, like the REPO market in 2008, lack of information on the identity of lenders and volume of the market hindered attempts to stop panic-related depositor withdrawals. Our new estimates of who was participating in the call loan market reveal that it did not contract after 1907; while the trust companies became less important, the New York national banks and outside lenders more than made up the difference.

This paper indicates the failure of our society to educate its citizens in the “worthy” use of retirement leisure. It contends that educated retirees should be offered an opportunity to function in creative, dignified and self-directed roles on university campuses. It describes the program of the Institute for Retired Professionals at The New School for Social Research in New York City, which has been functioning since 1962 and now serves as a model for a growing number of university programs for retirees. At the IRP educated retirees have found a new way of spending their retirement years in dignified roles as teachers, leaders, administrators and participants in their own inner university.

Scheduled Time

Like many transit agencies, New York City Transit (NYCT) has long relied on operations-focused metrics to measure its performance. Although these metrics, such as capacity provided and terminal on-time performance, are useful internally to indicate the actions needed to improve service, they typically do not represent the customer experience. To improve its transparency and public communications, NYCT launched a new online Subway Dashboard in September 2017. Two new passenger-centric metrics were developed for the dashboard: additional platform time (APT), the extra time passengers spend waiting for a train over the scheduled time, and additional train time (ATT), the extra time they spend riding a train over the scheduled time. Unlike similar existing metrics, NYCT’s new methodology is easily transferable to other agencies, even those without exit data from an automated fare collection system. Using a representative origin–destination matrix and daily scheduled and actual train movement data, a simplified train assignment model assigns each passenger trip to a train based on scheduled and actual service. APT and ATT are calculated as the difference in travel times between these two assignments for each individual trip and can then be aggregated based on line or time period. These new customer-centric metrics received praise from transit advocates, academics, other agencies, and the press, and are now used within NYCT for communicating with customers, as well as to understand the customer impacts of operational initiatives.

Having been involved in the question of black-white differences in hemoglobins and hematocrits from the very start (appropriately published in the Journal of the National Medical Association, Pediatrics, Journal of Pediatrics, American Journal ofClinical Nutrition, etc),1,2 I am intrigued with the statement of Dutton reprinted in the July issue ofPediatrics (66:A62, 1980) suggesting that all of the difference is socioeconomic and dietary in nature. From the start of our studies we considered this possibility only to reject it first for the State of Michigan, then for the ten states (and New York City) involved in the Ten State Nutrition Survey, and finally in many other data bases including the NCPP (National Collaborative Perinatal Project) of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke.

This chapter details events following Ernst Kantorowicz's arrival in America. His first few months were difficult. His future was uncertain, he was short of money, and he did not like New York City. His first lecture in the United States was as a guest at a regularly scheduled class at Barnard College. He later toured New England, speaking at Harvard, Smith College, and Yale. His Harvard talk, entitled “The Idea of Permanency and Progress in the Thirteenth Century” and was a milestone in his historiographical progress. Although it was a revised version of the introductory section of his aborted book on the German Interregnum, the revisions introduced a new analytical concept and adumbrated a new analytical framework. The new concept was the significance of the thirteenth-century scholastic term aevum.

In 1853 a small group of nuns arrived on the waterfront of New York City commencing the service of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) to New York City and its environs. In time the Dominicans served in health care, education, parish work, and a myriad of social services. The evolution of the Order of Preachers in New York eventually included friars, nuns, sisters, and lay members—a singular distinction. The Dominican roots in New York spread to other parts of the United States and to various foreign missions.

Superstitious Beliefs

A questionnaire revised on the basis of findings from an earlier study and containing 12 prevalent common superstitious beliefs or practices was anonymously completed by 69 adults in New York City and 64 participants in the relatively more rural area of northwestern Pennsylvania. Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups with respect to the influence of certain specific superstitious beliefs. The level of general superstitious belief appeared to be approximately equivalent for the two subsamples. However, a mean superstition score for 68 women was higher than that for 65 men, the difference being statistically significant ( p < .05), and tending to substantiate with broader based evidence a similar finding from the earlier study.
