No full textBlack and white photograph of David Minter.English Professor David Minter was appointed by President Malcolm Gillis to serve as interim provost in Spring 1999. Then current provost David Auston left Rice on July 1, 1999 to take the presidency of Case Western University. Minter first came to Rice in 1967 after lecturing at Yale University in English and American Studies. In 1980 he left Rice and took a position as dean of Emory College and vice-president of arts and sciences at Emory University. He returned to Rice in 1990, served at interim vice-provost and university librarian in 1995-1996, and then as interim provost in 1999. He is the author of many articles and books in his area of research, American literature in the period of 1880-1940. Dr. Minter was honored by alumni in 2011 with the Caroline S. and David L. Minter Endowment, Rice's first endowment to specifically support undergraduate excellence in the English major. The endowment supports student prizes for research, student trips to libraries and archives for senior theses, students working with faculty on research projects and the development of new courses for the English major
'A new and exceedingly brilliant star': L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, and Mary Miles Minter
No full textFollowing the success of Anne of Green Gables (1908), and of the first film version (1919), both L. M. Montgomery and the actress Mary Miles Minter found themselves being reinvented in Anne's image. The relationship between author, heroine, and actress was played out through the public circulation of celebrity names and images. Journalists projected onto Montgomery the qualities they discerned in her heroine, notably wholesomeness and an association with the pastoral, while Minter strategically identified herself with the same values. But whereas Minter turned Anne into an American girl, the media image of Montgomery-as-Anne depended on a conception of Canada as a refuge from American modernity

The Structure of Stable Codimension One Integral Varifolds near Classical Cones of Density
No full textFor each positive integer , we prove a multi-valued
regularity theorem for varifolds in the class ,
i.e., stable codimension one stationary integral -varifolds which have no
classical singularities of vertex density , which are sufficiently close to
a stationary integral cone comprised of half-hyperplanes (counted with
multiplicity) meeting along a common axis. Such a result furthers the
understanding of the local structure about singularities in the (possibly
branched) varifolds in achieved by the author and
N.~Wickramasekera (\cite{minterwick}) and generalises the authors' previous
work in the case (\cite{minter-5-2}) to arbitrary . One notable difference with previous works is that our methods do not need
any a priori size restriction on the (density ) branch set to rule out
density gaps.Comment: 27 pages, comments welcome
Originals of revisable originals : sampling and composting in the poetry of Peter Minter, Paul Hardacre and Kate Lilley
No full textAn essay on the anthological miscellany "This Compost," by Jed Rasula is presented. It examines how the trope of literary composting of Rasula influences poets such as Peter Minter, Paul Hardacre, and Kate Lilley. The author states that Rasula's work compared the poetics of a continuous present in Gertrude Stein's essay "Composition of Explanation" to the composition by field's technique as discussed in "Projective Verse," by Charles Olson
