Selling fashion: realizing the research potential of the House of Fraser archive, University of Glasgow Archive Services
No full textThe House of Fraser archive is a rich resource for the study of the development of fashion retailing in Britain since the mid-nineteenth century. It is, however, underexploited by textile, fashion and retail historians. During the summer of 2009, the University of Glasgow archive services will complete an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project which seeks to improve the accessibility of the Archive. Adopting a progressive approach to archival description, the project is developing an innovative online catalogue, providing fuller access to information about the Archive and the resources contained within it
Trip account
No full textTrip account - AMs, 15 pp.
“I am attempting to give you some account of a recent vacation trip which we were privileged to enjoy - Rose, Mother and I…” As the account of the trip to view the eclipse is unsigned, we can’t say for sure but as the author states “Rose, Mother and I” one could logically assume that the author is a sibling of T. Rose Curtis
ROSE POLY and ME A Memoir
No full textAuthor discusses his time as an engineering student and football player (1955-59), and then football coach, track coach, athletic director, instructor and then assistant professor of civil engineering at Rose Polytechnic Institute (now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) (1962-64). As a football player in 1958, he led the nation in scoring with 168 points in 8 games. Sixty-two years later, the 168 points continues to be the record for points in a season by an Indiana college football player. His 21.0 points per game were the national record for thirty years (1958-88) until broken by Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. In 1957 and 1958, the Rose Poly football team won fifteen games in a row over two seasons while the defense held opponents to 5.4 points per game. In 1958, the team led the NCAA Division II in defense holding opponents to 95.8 yards per game and a total of 31 points (3.9 points per game). As the football coach, he rescued the team from a disastrous previous year in which the team lost all of its games and scored only six points. The author concludes with his afterthoughts on his alma mater after a career of more than 60 years in engineering education.https://scholar.rose-hulman.edu/alum_pub/1003/thumbnail.jp

Introduction : Gender and culture in Japan today
No full textThis introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book analyses the contours of the field. The collection features both new work and updated accounts of classic scholarship, providing a go-to reference work for contemporary scholarship on gender in Japanese culture. The book focuses on various disciplinary and subdisciplinary approaches to gender in Japanese culture, including approaches from premodern and modern history, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, queer theory, and linguistics. It aims to assess the work-life balance that determines much of family life in contemporary Japan, and demonstrates the uneasy pull between the demands of the public and private spheres experienced by many working people. The book presents a series of close readings of text and genre from the perspective of gender and its related issues. It also demonstrates how textual analysis sensitive to gender and its operations can reveal nuance and complexity in a variety of areas of study
Did Plant Patents Create the American Rose?
No full textThe Plant Patent Act of 1930 was the first step towards creating property rights for biological innovation: it introduced patent rights for asexually-propagated plants. This paper uses data on plant patents and registrations of new varieties to examine whether the Act encouraged innovation. Nearly half of all plant patents between 1931 and 1970 were for roses. Large commercial nurseries, which began to build mass hybridization programs in the 1940s, accounted for most of these patents, suggesting that the new intellectual property rights may have helped to encourage the development of a commercial rose breeding industry. Data on registrations of newly-created roses, however, yield no evidence of an increase in innovation: less than 20 percent of new roses were patented, European breeders continued to create most new roses, and there was no increase in the number of new varieties per year after 1931.

The entire experience began on February 22, 2023, and lasted through August 15, 2023, for me to finish my last semester of study in Bachelor of Business and Administration (Hons.)

As a human resources student, I was eager to put the knowledge I had learned in the classroom to action during my internship and to discover and gain knowledge there as well. Throughout my internship, I was given a variety of duties and assignments to complete. I also being a Human Capital committee for some of the organization's activities and helped with the new joiner on the first day onboard.
