title: Veneto Freedom

abstract:
Veneto Freedom was a Venetist-separatist coalition of parties active in Veneto. Talks between several Venetist parties over the formation of a united party as a reliable competitor of Liga Veneta–Lega Nord started in February 2008 during a meeting in Pastrengo, Verona. The alliance, promoted by Fabrizio Comencini, Carlo Covi and Patrik Riondato, was officially launched in November 2009 by the union of six parties and groups:
  - Liga Veneta Repubblica
  - Bellunese Autonomist Party
  - Venetian Agreement
  - Venetian People's Unity
  - Venetians Movement
  - Venetian State The coalition favored a referendum on the self-determination of Veneto in a framework of a confederal Italian state, but not secession from Italy. For this reason it was immediately criticized by the Venetian National Party, which instead proposed a referendum on the independence. In an interview Comencini stated that VL has several friends within Liga Veneta–Lega Nord, but that his group rejected the idea of Padania altogether. The main components of the coalition were centrist or centre-left, with the notable exception of the communists of UPV. Comencini and Covi wanted to endorse Antonio De Poli of the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats for President in the 2010 regional election and this ultimately led to the premature death of the coalition. In January 2010 the independentist core of Veneto Freedom broke away from the moderate wing represented by Comencini and formed the Party of the Venetians (PdV). Silvano Polo, a long-time ally of Comencini within LVR, left that party too in order to be the candidate of the PdV in the next regional election.

# Truma (company)

**Truma Gerätetechnik GmbH & Co. KG** is a German manufacturer of leisure products for caravans and motorhomes. The company develops, manufactures and sells heating and air conditioning systems, hot water boilers, maneuvering systems and products for energy and gas supply. Truma was founded in 1949 in Munich, Germany. Today the headquarters is located in Putzbrunn near Munich and the company operates worldwide sales offices. Since the introduction of the first Truma heater in 1961 the company remained the market leader for LPG air heaters for recreational vehicles in Europe.

## History

### 1949

Truma was founded in 1949 by Philipp Kreis who after returning from World War II initially ran a language school for English in Munich. The unreliable power supply in the postwar period with constant power cuts was a major problem for the night school. Philipp Kreis used the functioning gas pipelines and developed gas lamps, which brightly illuminated the school even during power outages. Quickly, the school turned into a company for the production of gas lights. Philip Kreis named his company Truma in reference to the former U.S. President Harry S. Truman, whom he admired for his efforts for the reconstruction of Germany after the war.

### 1955-1982

In 1955 Truma released the first quick-acting valve to shut off to the gas lines. The gas lamps became popular in camping and caravanning, and Philip Kreis decided to enter this market with other products. In 1961, the Truma-matic hit the market, the first *officially recognized caravan heater* that worked independently from the power supply on the basis of LPG. In 1969 Truma started with the gas pressure regulator Duomatic. In 1975, the electrical controlled Trumatic E was introduced, which could also be installed in mobile homes, boats, and trucks. 1976 Truma allowed hot water supply in caravans and motorhomes by introducing the Truma Therme. The development of a gas boiler with up to 14 liters five years later made showering in a caravan possible.

### 1983-2003

In 1983 the company moved into new buildings next to the site of production in Putzbrunn, located just a few kilometers out of Munich. 1988 Philipp Kreis resigned from the operative business and handed over to his daughter Renate Schimmer-Wottrich. Truma developed in 1994 the Trumatic C, which offered heating and hot water from a single device. Many motorhome manufacturers took it immediately into production. In 1997 a Truma subsidiary for sales and service was established in UK. In 1999 Truma released the first maneuvering system for caravans and an air-conditioning systems for caravans and RVs.

### 2004-2010

In 2004 Truma opened a Service Centre. One year later, the technology and innovation center was built containing two huge climate testing chambers where equipment and vehicles of OEMs or journalists can be tested under practical conditions. In 2007 Truma ItaliaSrl was founded. 2008 a representative office in China was established. In the same year, Renate Schimmer-Wottrich resigned from the Managing Board and became chairman of the newly formed Advisory Board. 2010 Truma releases AquaStar to the market.

### 2011-2014

In 2011, the company owner established Truma's Renate Schimmer-Wottrich Foundation to promote projects with a focus on helping children, young adults and families. That same year, Truma entered the segment for roof-mounted air conditioning systems for recreational vehicles with the Aventa comfort. In 2012, Truma celebrated 50 years of caravan heating with two new S heater models and also introduced a fuel cell to the market. The VeGA generates electricity from LPG, which enables an energy supply independent of a network. In 2013, the company closed Truma Electronic Systems (formerly Calira) in Kaufbeuren and removed electricity generation products from its range. AquaStar has not been available since 2013 either. A year later, Truma also halted production of the VeGA fuel cell because it was unable to sell significant quantities. As part of its internationalisation, Truma established two subsidiaries – one in the USA and one in China. Truma introduced AquaGo for the North American market. At the touch of a button, the instant water heater produces an endless flow of hot water at a constant temperature.

### 2015 to today

In 2015, the company laid the foundations for digital networking in recreational vehicles with the Truma iNet System, which enables Truma heaters and air conditioning systems to be controlled remotely with a smartphone or tablet via the Truma App. That same year, Alexander Wottrich came on board as Managing Director of the Truma Group to manage the family-owned company in the third generation. As deputy managing director, Renate Schimmer-Wottrich supports her son in his work and remains Chair of the Advisory Board. The continuous development of new technologies was honoured in 2013, 2015 and 2017, when Truma received the "Top 100" award as one of the most innovative SMEs in Germany. On 1 January 2018 Alexander Wottrich additionally took over the position of Technical CEO which means he will be heading Research & Development and Supply Chain Management. In the same year Truma receives the Top Job award, making it one of the best employers in German SMEs.

## Products

As a manufacturer of leisure products for recreational vehicles Truma offers heating and air conditioning systems, hot water boilers, maneuvering systems, gas pressure regulators, a fuel cell and products for energy and gas supply. The Truma iNet system digitally networks all iNet-capable devices, such as heaters and air conditioning systems, allowing these to be controlled per smartphone when on the go.

# Ray Greene (politician)

**Ray Greene** (February 2, 1765  January 11, 1849) was a United States senator and Attorney General from Rhode Island during the early days of statehood.

## Life

Born in Warwick, Rhode Island, Greene was a son of William Greene Jr. and Catharine Ray. His father was a governor of Rhode Island during the American Revolutionary War, and his mother was a correspondent of Benjamin Franklin. Greene pursued classical studies and graduated from Yale College in 1784, then studied law, was admitted to the bar, and commenced practice in Providence. He was attorney general of Rhode Island from 1794 to 1797, and in the latter year was elected as a Federalist to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of William Bradford. Greene was reelected in 1799 and in total served from November 13, 1797, to March 5, 1801, when he resigned, having been nominated for a judicial position. He was designated a district judge of Rhode Island by President John Adams, but, through a technicality, was not appointed.

## Family

Greene married in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 23, 1794, Mary Magdalene Flagg (1775–1817), the daughter of George Flagg and Mary Magdalene Henderson of Charleston. The couple had five children, the oldest of whom was George Turner Greene (1795–1821) followed by William Greene III who became a Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island in the late 1860s. Their third child, Catharine Ray Greene (1799–1875) married in 1815 Dr. James Varnum Turner; Mary Elizabeth (born 1804) died as a youngster; and Isabella Mary (1805–1863) married in 1833 Joseph S. Jenckes.

## Ancestry

Greene's grandfather was colonial governor William Greene Sr., and both his father and mother, who were second cousins, descend from early colonial deputy governor John Greene Jr. Ray Greene also descends from several early Rhode Island settlers, including Warwick founders John Greene Sr., Samuel Gorton, and Randall Holden, and Providence founder Roger Williams.

# Winifred MacBride

**Winifred MacBride** (born before 1900 – died after 1975), later **Winifred MacBride Thomas**, was a Scottish-born concert pianist who achieved international acclaim in the first half of the twentieth century, particularly for her interpretations of the works of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. She also taught piano at Catawba College in North Carolina.

## Early life

Winifred MacBride was born in Glasgow, Scotland. She studied piano at the London Royal College of Music; she also studied with Benno Moiseiwitsch. Her younger sister Florence MacBride played violin, and the sisters played a concert together in Glasgow in 1926.

## Career

### In concert

MacBride gave a debut recital at London's Aeolian Hall in 1918. In 1923 she was on the programme for the Proms. Her 1924 concert at Queen's Hall, London, conducted by Sir Henry J. Wood, garnered critical raves for her technical virtuosity as well as the intelligence of her interpretive skills. MacBride was praised for her "intellectual serenity" and "radiance," the "elegance of her phrasing and touch," and her "unfailing technique." Others commented on her "spacious and sympathetic style," "admirable fire," and "her clear insight into the meaning of the music."

MacBride made her American debut in October 1924, at Aeolian Hall in New York. Other New York appearances include multiple concerts at Town Hall in 1929 and 1930. She played with the Minneapolis Symphony in 1926, and recorded piano rolls for Ampico.

### In North Carolina

In the 1940s, MacBride Thomas lived in North Carolina and taught piano privately, and as Assistant Professor of Piano at Catawba College, where her husband was head of the music department. The couple were dismissed from their faculty positions in 1952, on the basis of "disloyalty to the administration of the college, manifested by slanderous statements to students, faculty members and others, and by the incitement of unrest, suspicion, and lack of confidence among students and faculty members." The couple sued for wrongful dismissal, and the AAUP defended the Thomases from the charges. Their suit for damages went to the North Carolina Supreme Court, where it was dismissed in 1958.

MacBride Thomas continued to appear as a guest artist periodically with symphony orchestras, including the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. She and her husband also gave combined "lecture recitals" at the Mint Museum in the 1950s. She appeared as a soloist with the Charlotte Little Symphony on a television program, "The Carolina Hour", in 1956.

## Personal life

In 1920, Winifred MacBride married English-born organist and composer Christopher J. Thomas; they lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was widowed when Thomas died in 1976.

# Marsha Sharp

**Marsha Sharp** (born August 31, 1952) is the former head coach of Texas Tech University's women's basketball team, the Lady Raiders. She retired after 24 years at the conclusion of the 2005–06 season. Sharp was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003.

## Early life

Sharp went to high school in Tulia, Texas. She graduated in 1974 from Wayland Baptist University in Plainview. She procured her master's degree in 1976 from West Texas State University (now West Texas A&M University) in Canyon.

## Coaching career

She became the head coach of the Lady Raiders in 1982. For most of the 1980s, Sharp's Lady Raiders were the second-best team in the Southwest Conference, behind the Texas Longhorns under Jody Conradt. However, they dominated the last years of the SWC's existence, winning the last five regular season titles in a row (four outright, one shared) and three conference tournaments. Her best team was the 1992–93 unit, led by Sheryl Swoopes, which won the first NCAA championship by a Texas Tech team in any sport. After Texas Tech became a charter member of the Big 12 Conference in 1996, Sharp added three more regular season titles and two tournament titles.

Sharp's 24-year career won–lost records included a 258–89 record (.744 winning percentage) in conference play (Southwest Conference and Big 12 Conference combined) and a 572–189 record (.752 winning percentage) overall with no losing seasons.

In 2003, Sharp was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. The Marsha Sharp Center for Student-Athletes on the campus of Texas Tech and the Marsha Sharp Freeway in Lubbock are both named after Sharp.

Following Sharp's retirement from coaching, she was named Associate Athletic Director for Special Projects within the Texas Tech Athletic Department.

title: Reactivity (psychology)

abstract:
Reactivity is a phenomenon that occurs when individuals alter their performance or behavior due to the awareness that they are being observed. The change may be positive or negative, and depends on the situation. It is a significant threat to a research study's external validity and is typically controlled for using blind experiment designs. There are several forms of reactivity. The Hawthorne effect occurs when research study participants know they are being studied and alter their performance because of the attention they receive from the experimenters. The John Henry effect, a specific form of Hawthorne effect, occurs when the participants in the control group alter their behavior out of awareness that they are in the control group, out of rivalry with the experimental group.

An experimenter effect occurs when the experimenters subtly communicate their expectations to the participants, who alter their behavior to conform to these expectations.

# Reactivity (psychology)

**Reactivity** is a phenomenon that occurs when individuals alter their performance or behavior due to the awareness that they are being observed. The change may be positive or negative, and depends on the situation. It is a significant threat to a research study's external validity and is typically controlled for using blind experiment designs.

There are several forms of reactivity. The Hawthorne effect occurs when research study participants know they are being studied and alter their performance because of the attention they receive from the experimenters. The John Henry effect, a specific form of Hawthorne effect, occurs when the participants in the control group alter their behavior out of awareness that they are in the control group, out of rivalry with the experimental group.

# Maesteg RFC

**Maesteg Rugby Football Club** is a rugby union team from the town of Maesteg, South Wales. The club currently play in the Division 3B west Central Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Ospreys.

## Club history

Maesteg RFC was formed in 1877 in the Llynfi Valley, in the county of Glamorgan. They were county league champions 1912 to 1913. The 1949 team completed their season without losing a single game. In 1978 and 1979 they were the Whitbread league champions. In 1982 they played the Irish Wolfhounds, Crawshays RFC, Toronto Welsh RFC, German Federation and the New Zealand Māoris; they held the latter to a 10–10 draw. These games were thought at the time to be part of the centenary season of the club. It was later discovered that this was untrue, as the centenary was five years earlier.

Maesteg were promoted to the Welsh Premier Division in 2005, but were relegated back to division one when they came bottom of the league in the 2007/08 season.

# Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

***Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon*** (フラジール ～さよなら月の廃墟～, *Furajīru: Sayonara Tsuki no Haikyo*, known in Japan as ***Fragile***) is an action role-playing game for the Wii developed by Namco Bandai Games in co-operation with Tri-Crescendo. The game was released by Namco Bandai Games in Japan on January 22, 2009. It was later published by Xseed Games in North America on March 16, 2010, and in Europe by Rising Star Games on March 19, 2010, followed by its release in Australia on April 1, 2010.

## Gameplay

In *Fragile Dreams*, the player character, Seto, must traverse the ruins of Tokyo and the surrounding areas, fighting off ghosts that lurk within these ruins. The game's heads-up display includes a mini-map and HP gauge for Seto's location and health, respectively. Seto will fall unconscious if his HP reaches zero, resulting in a game over. The player controls Seto from a third-person perspective with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Seto can use his flashlight (controlled by the Wii Remote pointer) to illuminate his surroundings or solve puzzles and interact with the environment. When searching for certain objectives or hidden enemies, pointing Seto's light in their direction picks up and plays their sounds through the Wii Remote's mini speaker. The Wii Nunchuk, meanwhile, directly controls Seto's movement: aside of basic movement, he can crouch to hide and crawl through small spaces. Seto will often come across damaged floors, which require slow movement (and for heavily-damaged floors, crouching) to cross without falling through.

As Seto, the player can use weapons found throughout the world to fight off ghosts, ranging from slingshots and golf clubs to crossbows and katanas. Each weapon can only take a certain amount of use: once a weapon reaches its limit, it will break after battle. The player can also find other usable and collectable items in the field, marked with fireflies. The player can only save their game by resting at small fire pits scattered throughout the world: used fire pits are marked with a bonfire. The player can also examine and identify Mystery Items, organize their inventory, as well as after encountering the Merchant, buy and sell items.

As stated by the producer of the game, Kentarō Kawashima, *Fragile Dreams* is not strictly a survival horror: rather, its story focuses on human drama. In *Fragile Dreams*, aside of the main story, the player can find and examine objects and graffiti throughout the world. Objects called memory items (ranging from origami and stones to cell phones and books) hold the memories of their former owners (only accessible at bonfires), while the graffiti contains messages only seen by pointing at them in first-person. By examining these messages, the player can piece together hints to the game's backstory.

## Story

### Setting and characters

*Fragile Dreams* is set in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth in the near-future. Almost all the world's population has vanished, leaving the surviving buildings and structures abandoned. The game is set in and near the ruins of Tokyo, Japan, where the event that nearly wiped out humanity may have originated.

The protagonist, Seto, is a 15-year-old boy who searches the world for other living humans. He encounters Ren, a silver-haired girl who often leaves behind large, cryptic drawings. Other characters include: Sai, the ghost of a young woman; Crow, a mischievous and straightforward amnesiac boy; Personal Frame (P.F.), a portable computer who loves having conversations more than anything else; Chiyo, the ghost of a little girl; and the Merchant, a mysterious yet merry man who trades various goods. The game's host of enemies mainly consist of ghosts, but also include humanoid robots and security proxies. The main antagonist, Shin, is the AI of a scientist who considers speech to be an inferior means of communication. Various memory items include a greater set of characters, each giving hints to the game's backstory.

### Plot

At the end of Seto's fifteenth summer, his grandfather dies. Seto buries him in front of their home, an old observatory, and that from then on he became "truly alone". At night, he searches for anything the old man had left for him and discovers a letter, along with a strange blue stone in a locket. Suddenly, a mask-like ghost appears and attacks Seto. After driving the creature off, Seto reads the old man's letter, who tells him to "reach a tall red tower" east of the observatory, where he might find other survivors.

After departing for the tower, Seto reaches an old subway entrance in the Azabudai district and finds Ren sitting on a collapsed pillar, singing to the stars. He accidentally startles her and the frightened Ren flees into the subway station: getting over the shock of meeting another person, Seto follows her. While searching the station, he discovers a Personal Frame, who guides him towards Ren. Unfortunately, just as they reach the exit, P.F.'s battery dies out: Seto buries the device, keeping a screw from it in his locket.

From the underground, Seto finds himself at an abandoned amusement park and encounters Crow, who steals Seto's locket. After a long chase across the park and another encounter with the masked ghost, Crow returns Seto's locket and directs him to a hotel nearby, where he saw a girl who might know something about Ren. Crow also gives Seto his skull ring to keep in his locket and kisses him. At the hotel, Seto encounters Sai and fights the masked ghost again. After laying to rest the spirit of an old woman named Chiyo, the two discover Ren's drawings by a sewer. Returning to the underground, Seto and Sai find themselves at a hydropower dam. While searching for Ren, Seto discovers that Crow is actually a robot, but his battery begins to fail and Seto mourns for him as he "die\[s\]". Finally, they encounter Ren in a cell: although glad to see him again, Ren runs off after Shin calls.

Sai explains to Seto that most of humanity died because of a "human empathy expansion project" called Glass Cage. The project was meant to make human thoughts transparent, meaning that no one would need words to communicate. However, after Glass Cage activated, people who went to sleep never woke up again. Sai reveals that *she* was Glass Cage's first catalyst: this time, Shin intends to use Ren as the catalyst. After exiting the dam, a demolition crane attempts to destroy it. Hearing both Shin's and the masked ghost's voices from the crane — saying, "Any threat to the project must be eliminated." — the player realizes both are manifestations of Glass Cage. After Seto destroys the crane, Sai leads him to the facility where Ren was taken to.

Entering the laboratory, Seto and Sai are confronted by Shin, who coldly dismisses Sai's attempts at reasoning with him and is adamant about proceeding with his plans. As they traverse the laboratory, they overhear a voice announcing "Glass Cage Launch Preparations Complete", strengthening their resolve to save Ren. Making it into the room where Ren is being held, Shin tells them of his intention to use Glass Cage to "obliterate corporeal beings". After Seto defeats him, Shin disappears and Seto releases Ren from the device holding her. Their reunion is cut short as Sai tells them that the backup system has "finished copying her psyche to the AI", allowing Glass Cage to proceed. Ren reveals Shin has escaped to the top of the Tokyo Tower and Seto asks Ren to wait at the base of the tower and for Sai to accompany her.

On his way up the tower, Seto hears the voices of P.F., Chiyo and Crow wishing him luck. He confronts and defeats Shin a second time, who reveals his motivations: he had secretly used himself as the first test subject of the human empathy expansion project and gained the ability to hear the thoughts of those around him. Despite his initial belief in the project as a way for humans to empathize with one another, all he heard around him was "jealousy and contempt" and he soon grew disillusioned with the world as even his parents turned against him. Believing no person loved him, Shin wants to put an end to humanity. His words meet with a vehement response from Sai, as she tells him that she loves him, having developed those feelings while she was the catalyst and all she ever wanted was to be part of his life. Hearing this, Shin finds peace, tossing the AI mainframe away so Glass Cage can never be reactivated and vanishes together with Sai, hand-in-hand, after thanking Seto.

Descending from the tower, Seto finally learns Ren's name and they resolve to look for other survivors together.

## Development

*Fragile Dreams* was developed by the team at Namco Bandai Games. Director and producer Kentarō Kawashima came up with the concept for the game in 2003, before the Wii console was revealed. When the Wii was unveiled, it became the obvious choice as the game's platform as the Wii remote could be used to control the flashlight. Kawashima wrote the main scenario for the title, with the rest of the events being handled by sub-scenario writer Gingitsune. Additionally, *Fragile Dreams* includes 22 short stories conceived by 19 different writers, some of which were fans of the game. The sound of the title was carefully designed to coincide with the game's environments. The game's music, composed by Riei Saitō, was built around the game's ruined atmosphere. The theme song and ending theme, "Hikari" (, "light") and "Tsuki no Nukumori" (月のぬくもり, "the moon's warmth") respectively, were performed by Aoi Teshima.

In an interview with *IGN* concerning the English localization of the game, Xseed stated that they will attempt to give players a dual-language option in addition to new content for the North American release. *Fragile Dreams* did indeed contain both dubs. Actual game content was not changed, as Xseed aims to "keep the original creator’s vision intact as much as possible."

## Reception

*Fragile Dreams* sold 26,055 copies during its week of release in Japan, making it the 2nd best-selling game of the week.

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The substantial amount of criticism came from the game's gameplay, with many reviews stating the game had style over substance. Matt Casamassina of *IGN* said, "*Fragile Dreams* is a great example of a spectacular concept whose execution could have used a little more thought and time." *Eurogamer* echoed *IGN*'s sentiments, noting "*Fragile Dreams* fails to match its ambition with its systems and imagination." In Japan, *Famitsu* gave it a score of three eights and one seven for a total of 31 out of 40.

*GameZone'*s Michael Lafferty gave the game a much more positive write up, stating that "\[w\]hile the story is intriguing, what really brings this game home are the beautiful graphics and amazing audio. The emotional elements – like a haunting loneliness that pervades the world, the despair resonating in the voices of the characters – are clearly in place and *Fragile Dreams*' development team, Tri-Crescendo, has found the right mix for a game that is truly a wonderful experience." He added, "*Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon* is a game that goes beyond genre descriptions, creating an experience that is remarkable."

1Up.com's Alice Liang gave the game a C+, stating: "Visit *Fragile's* world if you can't tear away from the enchanting visuals, or if you've been caught by the bittersweet theme song you hear in the trailer (the entire soundtrack in general is very good), but this is one flawed gem of an adventure that perhaps only the most patient of us can enjoy."

# Winifred M. Hausam

**Winifred May Horman Hausam** (June 7, 1883 – October 1, 1967) was an American vocational executive who founded and managed vocational service bureaus for women in the Los Angeles area. Active in a wide variety of business, educational and women's clubs, she headed the Western Personnel Institute in Pasadena for over 30 years. She also helped to establish programs for women during the Depression, providing jobs for skilled women.

## Early life and education

Born in the mid-1880s in Chicago, Illinois, Winifred May Horman Hausam was the daughter of George W. Hausam and Emma M. Horman. After schooling in Chicago, she attended the University of California, Los Angeles and Columbia University in New York City.

## Career

Hausam began her career in California around 1912. Initially a teacher, she assumed various responsibilities in institutes dealing with pioneering vocational services for women. In 1919, she established and headed the Pasadena Vocational Bureau. On the basis of the success of the services in Pasadena, a couple of years later the Bureau of Vocational Services in Los Angeles was established, again with Hausam at the Helm. She had already become vice-chair of the National Committee of Bureaus of Occupation and director of vocational services at the California Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. While in Pasadena, she published *Outdoor occupations for women in California* (1922). By 1934, Hausam reported the Pasadena Vocational Bureau had helped hundreds of women to find work. In 1936, as head of the employment bureau, she announced that Pasadena was in the forefront of placing women in private industry, specifying that 846 women had been placed in December 1935 while there had generally been a decline elsewhere.

In 1931, together with her associate Helen Fisk, she established the Western Personnel Service, later the Western Personnel Institute. She explained the progress achieved and priorities for the future in *Guidance of Adults: Outside of Full-time School Situations*, published in 1934.

Winifred May Hausam continued to head the Western Personnel Institute until her retirement in 1961. She died in Pasadena on October 1, 1967, and is buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Altadena, Los Angeles County.

## Legacy

Established in 1973 by the School of Educational Studies at the Claremont Graduate University, the Winifred Hausam–Helen Fisk Award for Distinction in Higher Education honors outstanding service and academic achievement in higher education. It is presented to a doctoral student who has demonstrated exceptional ability in academic studies, scholarly writing, internship and service to students. The award celebrates the memory of Winifred Hausam and Helen Graves Fisk (1895-1986), both of whom pioneered vocational opportunities for women and contributed to developing professional services for college students.
