Letter from Henry M. Wriston to William Elliot Griffis, January 6, 1921
No full textResponds to two of Griffis' questions. The first question asks if central regions in a nation have unity (using the US South and New England as points of comparison). Wriston answers in the affirmative, stating that the central region maintained unity and exerted cultural influence in the West. The second question is in regards to relations of the US and Korea. Wriston explains that there have been attempts at treaties and legation of the US over Korea, but have at most amounted to the semi-independent status of Korea.This project was funded by a grant from the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, Seoul, Korea.Youngmee Yu Cho and Sungmin Park are responsible for the transcription and annotation of the letters

Japonisme and gender in the works of Alfred Stevens and William Merritt Chase
No full textJaponisme, a term coined by French critic Phillippe Burty in 1878, describes the Western fascination with Japanese art and culture manifested in the visual and decorative arts, architecture, music, literature, fashion, and graphic design. This thesis examines paintings of women by European artist Alfred Stevens and his friend American painter William Merritt Chase to determine what their representations of japonisme reveal about transatlantic conceptions of female gender and sexuality. I offer a comparative analysis of cultural and artistic norms in Europe and the United States by exploring ephemeral and malleable notions of ideal femininity, whose associations with japonisme include nature, fantasy, and objecthood. In a period characterized by the rise of imperialism, the increased systematic study of ethnography and physiognomy, and the frequency of World’s Fairs, Stevens and Chase maintained eclectic studio collections and rendered them in their paintings. Their pictures-within-pictures in the background of these studio scenes are a tool to assert their artistic alignments, for example, Chase’s inclusion of Stevens’s 1880 La Bête à Bon Dieu in the background of his 1892 In the Studio, Mrs. Chase. In Chase’s borrowing of Stevens’s Parisienne ideal, white, middle-class type, Chase transcribes his own realist tendencies in his images of Japanese-clad Western women. William Merritt Chase takes Alfred Stevens’s essentialized feminine forms clothed in associations of japonisme and transfers them to his uniquely American context, while retaining many of his constructions of femininity
Comorbidity & childhood psychopathology: relations to profiles of behavior and neuroanatomy
No full textChildhood psychopathology refers to a heterogeneous set of psychological conditions that negatively influence functioning. To improve treatment, effort has been directed at defining, and categorizing disorders. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the primary source for diagnostic information in the US, updates diagnostic criteria to parallel research and clinical advances. Nevertheless, much symptom overlap remains across conditions, complicating diagnosis and slowing research progress. Latent class analysis (LCA), a person-centered analytic approach, was used to explore new diagnostic groupings based on primary and comorbid diagnostic data from children with a diagnosis of Autistic Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome (ASD) (n = 76) or Bipolar Disorder (BPD) (n = 36), compared to 27 controls. LCA was expected to identify a subset of children with high comorbidity who would demonstrate distinct neuroanatomical and behavioral profiles. Comparison of the temporal cortex, amygdala, or hippocampus volumes between the diagnostic groups, and between the derived clinical latent classes, revealed no significant differences. The diagnostic groups were different on several problem behavior subscales, as were the latent classes. All clinical groups had more behavioral problems compared to controls. Although results did not support the use of comorbid information to improve diagnostic profiles, large within-group variances in the primary diagnostic groups supported the need to improve differential diagnoses. The DSM-IV categorical classification system is limited in its ability to characterize 'comorbid' symptomology. In the DSM-V, inclusion of a dimensional component and 'cross cutting' symptoms would provide clinicians with a useful way to differentiate disorders and evaluate symptom severity.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical references (p. 74-81)by Nora Anne Merritt PellegrinoIncludes abstrac

The panels are comprised of photographs, artifacts, documents, and stories collected by "Shi" starting in the 1970s. Over the following 20 years, the Nomuras assembled more than 75 panels depicting their personal interpretation of Manzanar 'camp' life, major events, history, and site preservation efforts. In each panel Shi and Mary provide valuable first-person documentation from their experiences.
