Oral History Interview with Paul Dillon
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Paul Dillon. Dillon was in the army until he was discharged in September 1941 after being seriously injured from being run over by a military vehicle. He held various jobs until June 1942 at which time he entered the Navy and trained at Norfolk, Virginia. Upon graduation he was selected for gunnery school at Little Creek, Virginia. After training he was sent to the Brooklyn Armed Guard Center for assignment. Recalling his assignment as a naval gunner on the SS Jacob Luckenbach (1918), he tells of taking a shipment of planes and parts to Persia for shipment to Russia. On his next trip he was on a ship equipped with an experimental type of anti-torpedo gear called M-29. His next assignment was aboard the SS John A. Poor (1943). He recalls an explosion (mines) that knocked out the engine. As a consequence the ship was dead until sea-going tugs towed the ship to Halifax for repairs. He also describes the ship being torpedoed on 19 March 1944 off of the coast of Ceylon. Of the 106 assigned to the ship, only 39 survived. The survivors were picked up by the SS John Walch and taken to Colombia, Ceylon. In January 1945 Dillon was sent to the Philippines for assignment to the USS Dobbin (AD-3). The ship returned to the United States in November 1945 and he was discharged

Jacob of Serugh's Homilies on the Spectacles of the Theatre
No full textThis fascinating volume contains excerpts from four otherwise unedited (and untranslated) homilies from Jacob of Sarug on the theatre. These homilies, extant only in a single manuscript (BM Add. 17158), which is unfortunately poorly preserved, are unique for the light they cast on the Greek theatre in the Byzantine period. In this article, originally published in Le Muséon 48 (1935), Moss gives a substantive introduction to the selections presented from these homilies, and then presents the texts in Syriac and in English translation. Scholars and readers interested in Syriac literature, and in Jacob of Sarug in particular, as well as students of the history of the theatre, will find this work of great interest.Translated into English from the Syriac text
Jacob Viner’s Reminiscences from the New Deal (February 11, 1953)
No full textThis paper presents and reproduces an unpublished oral history interview given by Jacob Viner in 1953. The interview released by Viner for the Columbia Oral History Project gives us a valuable opportunity to throw light on his advisory activity during the New Deal Era. In our introduction we attempt to make a critical appraisal of Viner's reminiscences and to state the contribution they can provide to our general knowledge of the period. In addition, we also attempt to find out some biographical and interpretative elements useful to understand Viner’s own vision and his contribution to important economic policy processes during the New Deal.
