High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Kwan Um School of Zen(KUSZ) is an international school of Zen centers and groups, founded in 1983 by Seung Sahn Soen Sa Nim.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Roger Williams Park, in the southern part of the city of Providence, Rhode Island, is an elaborately landscaped 427-acre (173 ha) city park and National Historic District. The park is named after the founder of the city of Providence and one of the founders of the state of Rhode Island, Roger Williams. The land for the park was a gift to the people of Providence in 1871, in accordance with the will of Betsey Williams, the great-great-great-granddaughter, and last surviving descendant of the founder to own the land. It had been the family farm and represented the last of the original land grant to Roger Williams in 1638 from Canonicus, chief of the Narragansett tribe. The family farmhouse (built in 1773), known as the Betsey Williams Cottage, and the Williams Family burial ground (including Betsey's grave) are still maintained within the park. ... Read more

Excerpt: St. George's School is a private, Episcopalian, coeducational boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, USA, just east of the city of Newport. The school was founded in 1896 by the Rev. John Byron Diman, a member of a prominent Rhode Island family. It sits on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is known for having a beautiful campus. It is a member of the Independent School League and one of five schools collectively termed St. Grottlesex. In 1896, the Rev. John Byron Diman, founder of St. George's School, wrote in his Purposes of the School that: "The specific objectives of St. George's are to give its students the opportunity of developing to the fullest extent possible the particular gifts that are theirs and to encourage in them the desire to do so. Their immediate job after leaving the School is to handle successfully the demands of college; later it is hoped that their lives will be ones of service to the world and to God. The school's suburban campus is familiarly known as "The Hilltop", as it is located on a prominent hill just east of Newport. The campus is also known for its magnificent view of First, Second, and Third Beach (which was part of the campus during the early twentieth century). There are five boys dorms and six girls dorms. Two or three faculty members live with their families in apartments within each of the buildings. All dorm rooms are wired for telephone and internet access, and each dorm has a common room equipped with a microwave, television, and DVD player. Day Rooms Girls' Dorms Day Rooms Like most private schools in the ISL, St. George's operates on a six-day school week, meaning that classes meet on Saturday. Wednesdays and Saturdays, however, are half-days, with athletic games in the afternoons. St.... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2402126 ... Read more
