Edwin & Mark returning from Horton College
No full textSketch from the scrapbook of Sarah E.E. Mitchell of Lisdillon on the East Coast of Tasmania 1874.
Sketch 117 - Taken about 1867 - by Catherine Mitchell.
Edwin Harry John Mitchell, and Mark Septimus Mitchell, coming home for holidays from Horton College, Ross. Kate meets them & Miss Stoney, by the carrot field, and the orchard beyond. The cart is in the field where the pigs have been fed. Our horses had to be sent, with them, and for them, each term.
Horton College used to be a famous school. Edwin wrote on the ground “Red Brick Prison” and got into great trouble for it – Mark got the Good Conduct prize, there.
The sketches by Catherine Penwarne (Kate), eldest daughter of John and Catherine Mitchell (of Cornwall, England, who settled at Lisdillon, East Coast Tasmania in 1852) were made between 1860 and 1876, and portray aspects of 19th Century social and domestic life. Catherine’s sketches were compiled by her sister Sarah. E.E.Mitchell. Derived from her own collection, from those of friends and relations, and from John Ball, Kate's husband, they were compiled sometime between 1928 and 1933. The sketches are mounted in an album, together with: locks of Kate's hair on red silk; a pressed fern arrangement; a coloured photograph of John and Catherine Ball; and coloured views of Buckland Churchyard in 1850, showing the grave of Paul Thomas Mitchell, aged 3 days, and in 1879 showing the grave of Catherine Penwarne Ball. The scrapbook was bequeathed to The Royal Society of Tasmania in 1946.

Twentieth-century poetry and science : science in the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid, Judith Wright, Edwin Morgan, and Miroslav Holub
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to arrive at a characterisation of twentieth century poetry and science by means of a detailed study of the work of four poets who engaged extensively with science and whose writing lives spanned the greater part of the period. The study of science in the work of the four chosen poets, Hugh MacDiarmid (1892 – 1978), Judith Wright (1915 – 2000), Edwin Morgan (1920 – 2010), and Miroslav Holub (1923 – 1998), is preceded by a literature survey and an initial theoretical chapter. This initial part of the thesis outlines the interdisciplinary history of the academic subject of poetry and science, addressing, amongst other things, the challenges presented by the episodes known as the ‘two cultures’ and the ‘science wars’. Seeking to offer a perspective on poetry and science more aligned to scientific materialism than is typical in the interdiscipline, a systemic challenge to Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) is put forward in the first chapter. Additionally, the founding work of poetry and science, I. A. Richards’s Science and Poetry (1926), is assessed both in the context in which it was written, and from a contemporary viewpoint; and, as one way to understand science in poetry, a theory of the creative misreading of science is developed, loosely based on Harold Bloom’s The Anxiety of Influence (1973). The detailed study of science in poetry commences in Chapter II with Hugh MacDiarmid’s late work in English, dating from his period on the Shetland Island of Whalsay (1933 – 1941). The thesis in this chapter is that this work can be seen as a radical integration of poetry and science; this concept is considered in a variety of ways including through a computational model, originally suggested by Robert Crawford. The Australian poet Judith Wright, the subject of Chapter III, is less well known to poetry and science, but a detailed engagement with physics can be identified, including her use of four-dimensional imagery, which has considerable support from background evidence. Biology in her poetry is also studied in the light of recent work by John Holmes. In Chapter IV, science in the poetry of Edwin Morgan is discussed in terms of its origin and development, from the perspective of the mythologised science in his science fiction poetry, and from the ‘hard’ technological perspective of his computer poems. Morgan’s work is cast in relief by readings which are against the grain of some but not all of his published comments. The thesis rounds on its theme of materialism with the fifth and final chapter which studies the work of Miroslav Holub, a poet and practising scientist in communist-era Prague. Holub’s work, it is argued, represents a rare and important literary expression of scientific materialism. The focus on materialism in the thesis is not mechanistic, nor exclusive of the domain of the imagination; instead it frames the contrast between the original science and the transformed poetic version. The thesis is drawn together in a short conclusion
Harry Mitchell, Oral History Moment
No full textThis is an audio recording of an Oral History Moment with Harry Mitchell. An Oral History Moment is a small segment of clips from an oral history interview presented by a narrator. The interview was conducted October 22, 2015. The interviewer is Rachel Branch. The script author is Nick Sprenger, and the narrator is Allan Folsom.
In this interview, Harry Mitchell discusses his service as a Marine during the Vietnam War and Tet Offensive, his struggles with PTSD, and the negative reception he received upon his return home.
Harry Thomas Mitchell was born in Welch, West Virginia on November 3, 1966. Mitchell joined the Marines on his 17th birthday, upholding a long standing family tradition of military service. Mitchell received his training in Parris Island, South Carolina. While in boot camp, the recruits were told that three quarters of them would be shipped to Vietnam. Following boot camp, Mitchell attended infantry and radio operator training.
By his eighteenth birthday, Mitchell was in Vietnam. Mitchell initially served as a field radio operator, and later in an infantry unit. On January 19, 1968, Mitchell was flown from Dong Ha to Khe Sanh, which is where he was stationed when the Tet Offensive launched. He recalls his experiences during that conflict and the difficulty of witnessing death and destruction and the loss of comrades. Mitchell was wounded twice during his service, which earned him the Purple Heart.
Mitchell found himself disconnected from life on the home front, receiving only one letter from his father, and disconnected from anything else that was going on during the war, unless his unit was involved. Mitchell discusses troop morale, opinions about war protests, and the bond between members of his unit.
Mitchell finished his tour of duty and returned to the United States. He was stationed at Camp Pendleton, with the 5th Anti-Tank Battalion. He eventually received a medical discharge, due to struggling with PTSD. He recalls the difficulty of returning home, with both civilians and his own family members treating him with disrespect.
Out of Mitchell\u27s eight cousins who went to Vietnam, four were killed, and the rest were wounded at least twice. Mitchell never realized his service meant anything to his mother, but when he moved back home in 1996, his mother encouraged him to display his medals from the war. He says the first thing she did every time she came to his house from then on was to make sure he was displaying his medals.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1107/thumbnail.jp
