Abraham Lincoln check to William Johnson
No full textDated January 7, 1861, this is a check written by President-elect Abraham Lincoln for $20 for the Springfield Marine and Fire Insurance Company to William Johnson, an African American servant and barber who served as Lincoln's personal valet and whom Lincoln took with him to Washington, DC. An accompanying note indicates that Lincoln then had to find another job for Johnson, who at the time would have been the only African American servant in the White House

Freedom, Anarchy and Conformism in Academic Research
No full textIn this paper I attempt to make a case for promoting the courage of rebels within the citadels of orthodoxy in academic research environments. Wicksell in Macroeconomics, Brouwer in the Foundations of Mathematics, Turing in Computability Theory, Sraffa in the Theories of Value and Distribution are, in my own fields of research, paradigmatic examples of rebels, adventurers and non-conformists of the highest caliber in scientific research within University environments. In what sense, and how, can such rebels, adventurers and non-conformists be fostered in the current University research environment dominated by the cult of 'picking winners'? This is the motivational question lying behind the historical outlines of the work of Brouwer, Hilbert, Bishop, Veronese, Gödel, Turing and Sraffa that I describe in this paper. The debate between freedom in research and teaching, and the naked imposition of 'correct' thinking, on potential dissenters of the mind, is of serious concern in this age of austerity of material facilities. It is a debate that has occupied some of the finest minds working at the deepest levels of foundational issues in mathematics, metamathematics and economic theory. By making some of the issues explicit, I hope it is possible to encourage dissenters to remain courageous in the face of current dogmasNon-conformist research, economic theory, mathematical economics, 'Hilbert's Dogma', Hilbert's Program, computability theory

“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 26Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

Brouwer and Fraenkel
No full textAbraham Fraenkel was one of the first non-partizan mathematicians to
take a serious interest in intuitionism. In the second edition of his "Einleitung in die Mengenlehre" he extensively discussed the foundational situation in the early twenties. Brouwer implicitly gave his fiat to the presentation by reading the proofs and suggesting corrections

Comitatus Hollandia
No full textDeze kaart van Holland werd gepubliceerd in het 'Nieuw Nederlandtsch caertboeck' van Abraham Goos. Diens kaarten hebben een geheel eigen stijl door het hanteren van een liggend ovaal in een mooi gedecoreerd rechthoekig kader. Goos heeft de kaarten waarschijnlijk zelf in het koper aangebracht. Voor wat betreft de kaart van Holland heeft hij daarbij gebruikgemaakt van de foliokaart 'Comitatus Hollandia' uit 1608 van Willem Jansz. Blaeu. De weergave van de zandbanken bij het Marsdiep en de opname van enkele toponiemen wijzen daarop. Verder heeft Goos het langgerekte Kerkemeer in West-Friesland van Blaeu overgenomen. De weergave van de waterlopen is nauwkeurig en gedetailleerd. De Beemster is inmiddels een droogmakerij. De Wieringerwaard is daarentegen niet ingetekend; echter op de deelkaart van Noord-Holland komt hij in de atlas van Goos wél voor. De hier afgebeelde kaart van Holland is de tweede staat van de koperplaat en komt voor in diverse edities van het 'Caertboeck' tussen 1616 en 1672. Ten opzichte van de eerste staat is de tekst 'Cum privilegio' toegevoegd boven de titelcartouche. Er bestaat ook een derde staat (1685) met veranderingen in de sierrand en veranderingen in de topografie
