Excerpt from Report of the Executive Officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, on the Subject of Retrenchment During the interval, the directors appointed by the city held one or more meetings. They did not, however, confer with the president or other executive officers of the company, and there fore, received no explanation from either, of the amount of the company's expenditures, or of the real demands of the service. The directors, it is presumed, may have ascertained from the records of the office, the number of individuals employed in the various departments and the amount of compensation allowed them under the authority of the board.

Excerpt from Report of the Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Raod Company: In Obedience to an Order of 28th January, 1843 To the President and Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company: - The committee chosen at the last meeting of the board, in consequence of an order passed by the House of Delegates of Maryland, on the twenty-eighth day of January last, present the following report: The order of the House of Delegates is in the following words: "Ordered, That the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company be requested to inform this House, how long Louis McLane, Esq. has been President of that corporation, and what amount of compensation he has received for salary, extra allowance, or in any other manner, so as to shew the aggregate sum received by the said Louis McLane, Esq. from said company, and the space of time in which he performed the services, for which such compensation was paid; and whether the amount of officers' salaries have been increased or diminished since the present President of the Company came into office, and to what extent, and whether the number of officers have been increased or diminished, and to what extent."

Your committee have examined the minutes of the board heretofore, and it appears to them thereform, that the information now sought by the above order, has on three several occasions before this, been transmitted to the House of Delegates, in pursuance of orders from that body; first, in answer to an order passed on the twentieth day of January 1840, again on the twenty-third day of February in the year 1842, in reply to an order of 19th February in the same year, and lastly on the twenty-fourth day of January last, and during the present session, when the order of the House of Delegates passed on the sixteenth day of that month was fully answered in detail.

Shifting faculty roles in a changing landscape Ernest L. Boyer's landmark book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish status quo that dominated the academic landscape for generations. His powerful and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to play a significant part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The rise of the non-tenure-track class of professors is well documented. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer offers a still much-needed approach. He calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. This expanded edition offers, in addition to the original text, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide to help readers start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies today.
