Letter to Naismith from Draper (March 6, 1935)
No full textGeorge O. Draper, Springfield College’s alumni secretary, wrote this letter to James A. Naismith in March 1935. The exact day is unknown, as the dates on each page conflict. Draper announces that the Alumni Council chose Naismith to be one of the first four recipients of the Tarbell Medallion, which recognizes “alumni rendering distinctive service for their Alma Mater.” The medallions are three-inch bronze replicas of R. Tait McKenzie’s “Joy of Effort.” Draper provides brief backgrounds on the other three recipients: Raymond P. Kaighn, Carl D. Smith, and Martin I. Foss. He asks if Naismith will be able to attend the commencement, held on June 15, to receive his medallions. Draper also encloses a copy of the Bulletin (Springfield College’s magazine), which describes the medallion in greater detail, and again asks for a photograph of Naismith.To learn more about Dr. James Naismith, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/64

Sharon M. Draper: Embracing Literacy
No full textIn Sharon M. Draper: Embracing Literacy, author KaaVonia Hinton reveals how Draper became an exceptional teacher and writer, and how she uses her writing to urge young people to embrace literacy. Hinton also explores how Draper has made a lasting contribution to the field of young adult literature. This book-length study examines both her life and work and will benefit all students, teachers, and scholars in the field of young adult literature… [From Amazon.com]https://digitalcommons.odu.edu/teachinglearning_books/1007/thumbnail.jp

CCD polarimetry as a probe of regions of recent star-formation
No full textChapter 1 of this thesis details the incorporation of a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) detector system with the Durham Imaging Polarimeter. The details include the physical characteristics of the device and the electronics and software associated with the device control and data storage. The introduction of the CCD detector system haa made necessary the inclusion of a super-achromatic half-wave plate in the polarimeter which has an inherent variability in its optic axis. Chapter 2of this work describes fully how suitable corrections for this effect can be made, and derives "first order" results. The CCD performance is examined in comparison with the detector used previously and hence the veracity of the new results is established. Chapter 3 is a relevant summary of the status of the astronomy of the immediate regions of recent star-formation. Chapter 4 describes multicolour polarimetry of NGC2261/R Mon covering the period 1979 to 1986. The data conclusively proves that the polarisation of R Mon must be due to effects close to R Mon (~ 14 astronomical units). This is evident because of the dynamic timescale of the variations of the polarisation of R Mon and the anomalous band of polarisations seen across the head of the nebula. The interpretation presented is an extension of the Elsasser and Staude (1978) method of polarising objects embedded within the confines of a nearly edge-on disk. Detailed polarisations within the main nebula body provide evidence for this extended interpretation and also for an extensive helical magnetic field which may extend into the disk. Also it is seen that R Mon must still be "shrouded" in material preventing light from directly reflecting in the main nebula body. It is not thought that the variations in the region close to R Mon are due to planetary bodies but to accretion from the disk. The results of this re-interpretation of the polarising mechanism are tentatively applied to other similar objects

Mad Man in the Writing Center: Why Don Draper and I have a lot in common
No full textDon Draper is the tall, dark, and handsome lead character on the cable TV series Mad Men. I, on the other hand, am short, very white, and average looking, except as I mentioned, I am extremely white. Pale. Tres blanc. I am so white that a friend once described me as translucent. In the right light, and from a particular angle, you can see through me. That leads me back to how Don Draper and I are alike.
For those of you unfamiliar with Mad Men, the Madison Avenue ad executive ostensibly called Donald Draper is actually an imposter named Dick Whitman, who stole the dog tags from a dead fellow soldier in Korea and assumed his identity. I was watching the finale of season four when the parallel hit me. Tutoring in writing has shown me my double life.University Writing Cente
