The License Commission has three general choices in front of it. It can deny the UCIâs request and allow the team to keep its license. It can revoke the first-division Pro Team license but allow the team to re-apply for a second-division Pro Continental license. Or it could revoke the license altogether, a kind of institutional death penalty.
James Smithson (1765â1829) was a wealthy English scientist who devoted his life to research. That establishment became the Smithsonian. Smithson's bones now lie in the Smithsonian Castle. Originally they were buried in a cemetery in Italy.
Act of Organization. The Smithsonian Institution was created as a federal establishment, not part of the three branches of government, managed by a self-perpetuating Board of Regents. The Smithsonian Regents had to decide how to carry out Smithson's vague mandate and the broad legislation. Their first act was to build a home for the Institution, a Norman Castle designed by architect James Renwick, Jr., located on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
