East Carolina University was founded by the State of North Carolina in 1907 as a teacher training school meant to provide professionally trained faculty for schools in the eastern part of the state. Within two decades; the school matured into a teacher�s college. Although coeducational from the start; the vast majority of the student body early on was female. Following World War II and the gender transformation of higher education resulting from successive GI Bills; East Carolina emerged with increasing balance as the male student body grew to match the female population on campus. In subsequent decades; East Carolina continued to expand academically; emerging as a research university with a medical school and a dental school. Today; ECU is a leading producer of K-12 teachers in the Southeast as well as a leader nationwide in training practitioners of family medicine. The impressive development of East Carolina has flowed from its embodiment of the school�s ethic of service to the local community and; in the broadest context; the best interests of humanity.

Ludicrously outdated; bizarre; and stuffyBy Juliet RomeoI had read the first few pages of this book at a free sample on Google Books and thought it looked pretty good. BIG MISTAKE. First of all I should note that this book was published in 1994. The "art world" that the author describes is becoming increasingly outdated in our current age of self-marketing; blogs; Facebook; Twitter; and internet followings. After reading about 8 consecutive ridiculous statements; I wanted the throw the book across the room. Heres a sampling of "how to become a successful artist" according to this book:"Get your hair styled in a look that suggests you are an artist...Explain to the beauty consultant that you want an art look.""Dont try to pattern yourself after some movie star; since most artists run about ten pounds heavier.""I cannot stress enough the importance of a support group for the synergism it offers...They all hung out together; had affairs with one anothers lovers; gossiped; lent money and support; and became famous together." ...what?"When asked her advice on how to become a successful artist; Elaine de Kooning said; Marry well.""Its especially tough to break into the art world if you are a woman.""Location is all; and location is New York City; New York City; New York City. Art is taken more seriously there than anywhere else..."Im sure there are a lot more infuriating gobbledygook statements in this book... but I dont feel like wasting my time finding them. Off it goes into the garage sale pile.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good beginning artist guide.By SC ArtistThis book was recommended to me - it is a great intro for a blossoming artist on how to get artwork out of the studio and into public view.
