The author was Alan Tyson, who for the next thirty years was to play a leading role in scholarly research into music of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Beyond learning the viola and to a lesser extent the piano he had not studied music. At Rugby he had been torn between Classics and science, but it was decided that he should do Classics. So Classics he did, perhaps with mixed feelings but with conspicuous success. After graduating at Oxford in 1951 with a double first he became a fellow of All Souls the following year

Description, objectivity, and a robust pluralism: A reply to Fleischman and Tyson; Point/Counterpoint
No full textIf more than welcome in intent, Fleischman and Tyson\u27s article Archival Researchers: An Endangered Species? [1997] prompted for me another question, With friends like this, . . . ?. It is a sad commentary on our field if their contributions are so apt to be minimalized that it may embarras[s] mainly descriptive accounting historians [Fleischman and Tyson (F&T), 1997, pp. 102, 102 fn.] to be so cited. It is probably not coincidental that other accounting scholars are likely to deem historical study more intellectual the more it is interpretive in a mode intellectualist. In any case, as an unembarrassed predominantly descriptive author I challenge the assumptions made that we as a class have a [less] theoretical bent than other historians and (by declared relativists) are prone to overstating the objectiv[ity] of our work [F&T, 1997, pp. 97, 102 (quoted)]. Follow-up conciliatory remarks [F&T, 1997, pp. 103-105] do not offset a gratuitous depreciation that has more broadly infected express Accounting Historians Journal (AHJ) editorial policy

PH Coll 1478. KinseyK24The Seattle March for Science occurred on April 22, 2017. This date was chosen because April 22 is also Earth Day. According to organizers, as many as 20,000 people attended the march, which began at 10 a.m. in Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The march culminated at the International Fountain at the Seattle Center. The March for Science in Seattle was one of more than 500 similar marches taking place across the United States. Demonstrators marched in support of “robustly funded and publicly communicated science and evidence as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity” and also called “for science that upholds the common good, and for political leaders and policymakers to enact evidence-based policies in the public interest”, according to a statement put out by march organizers. Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray came out to show their support.Science
Review of \u3ci\u3eThe Red River in Southwestern History\u3c/i\u3e By Carl Newton Tyson
No full textIn this book Carl Newton Tyson recounts the role of the Red River in southwestern history from the time that Spanish explorers discovered the stream to the modern era. Flowing some twelve hundred miles from its origin on the Texas high plains, it drains about one-tenth of the continent before emptying its waters into the Mississippi. Claimed by Spain as a result of Coronado\u27s marching across its upper reaches in 1541, it became a river in dispute from about 1700, when Frenchmen appeared along its lower reaches. In fact, it became a conduit for expanding the French empire westward. The trade of the French with the Wichitas and other tribes living along its banks effectively ended the Spanish claim to the river\u27s central and lower portions.
The role of the Red River as a boundary was the product of the Treaty of 1819 between Spain and the United States, which inherited the French claim as a result of the Louisiana Treaty of 1803. But this event did not end boundary disputes. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Oklahoma, the inheritor of the American-French claim, and Texas, the inheritor of the Spanish claim, disputed where the line went along the river: down the center versus along the southern bank. The author carefully analyzes the origin of these disputes and chronicles their resolution.
Tyson also treats major explorations of the watershed of the river, such as those of Randolph B. Marcy in the 1850s. For along time the lower Red was a transportation highway, though for years an immense logjam, simply called the Great Raft, blocked navigation north of Louisiana. In 1832 the United States government began efforts to break the raft; but so large was the task that these attempts were not successful until 1873. Tyson also recounts events of the Civil War on the river. The bungled Union attempt to wrest control of the Louisiana portions of the river from the Confederates was much like the perambulations of the grand old Duke of York who had ten thousand men; he marched them up the hill and he marched them down again. Based on primary and secondary sources, the book is a worthwhile contribution to southwestern history
Determination of xanthate compounds in mining process waters by capillary electrophoresis
No full textAn analytical capillary electrophoresis method was developed for the identification and quantification of the xanthate family of organosulfur compounds, all of which are used in froth floatation during the milling process of mined ore. Using this previously optimized novel method, bulk samples of unknown composition were characterized by their concentration of each xanthate, as well as the concentration of unknown compounds arising from contaminants on the manufacturing side or degradation products. Calibration curves were prepared for the four different organic-chain xanthates: amyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and isobutyl.Not peer reviewe
