UNITED STATES ARMY
Co D, 3rd M.T.B. Bks. 1260, M.R.T.C. Camp Pickett, Va. December 28, 1942
The Bryant Service Club Bryant College Providence, R. I.
Greeting,
Thank you for a very fine and useful Christmas present. It is just what I needed. A glance at those stockings makes me feel warm all over.
Camp Pickett is not a small camp, you can very easily get lost, even after a few months stay here.
Here in the Medical Replacement Training Center, I am assigned to Company D as an assistant personnel clerk at Headquarters. In this capacity I handle service records, which is the complete history of the soldier’s Army life, correspondence, discharges, payrolls, transfers and allotments of the enlisted men.
The work is interesting and is the type I am best fitted for, as a noncombatant soldier, by reason of my Bryant training.
I had never heard of the Service Club before but am sure that you made this a pleasanter Christmas for the boys from Bryant now in the Services as you made it for me.
Best wishes, Corporal Alvin J. Connors, Jr.

1672 S U Ft. Sheridan, Ill. 2 January 1944
Greetings and Salutations,
It is always a pleasure to read your newsy letters, to note the doings at Bryant and the visits of Bryant Servicemen and woman. I noted very little news of the men of ’35, it is little wonder they have tome to write if they are as busy as I.
In my travels I have met several, who knew somebody that went to Bryant, but I have never met a Bryant man. The officer I share a room with here used to work with Wally Brahmer.
Just recently I graduated from the Adjutant Generals’ School at Fort Washington, Maryalnd [sic], and was commissioned a 2nd Lt. AUS.
Right now I am stationed here at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. It is one of the newer of the old Army posts, and is situated right on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is cold here, a damp cold that goes right though you. I’d take Providence in preference any day, but those days are in the distant future. The people out here are friendly, however, and try to do everything possible to make the servicemen feel at home.
I hope to see a little of Chicago, and would appreciate it, if you would send me major Lees address.
I want to thank you again for your letters and gifts, and wish you a successful and happy new year.
Sincerely yours, Alvin J. Connors Jr.

Dramatic Battles in Eighteenth-Century France Philosophes, Anti-Philosophes and Polemical Theatre
No full textThe mid-eighteenth century witnessed a particularly intense conflict between the Enlightenment philosophes and their enemies, when intellectual and political confrontation became inseparable from a battle for public opinion. Logan J. Connors underscores the essential role that theatre played in these disputes.This is a fascinating and detailed study of the dramatic arm of France’s war of ideas in which the author examines how playwrights sought to win public support by controlling every aspect of theatrical production – from advertisements, to performances, to criticism. An expanding theatre-going public was recognised as both a force of influence and a force worth influencing.By analysing the most indicative examples of France’s polemical theatre of the period, Les Philosophes by Charles Palissot (1760) and Voltaire’s Le Café ou L’Ecossaise (1760), Connors explores the emergence of spectators as active agents in French society, and shows how theatre achieved an unrivalled status as a cultural weapon on the eve of the French Revolution. Adopting a holistic approach, Connors provides an original view of how theatre productions ‘worked’ under the ancien régime, and discusses how a specific polemical atmosphere in the eighteenth century gave rise to modern notions of reception and spectatorship. Eighteenth-century specialists are well acquainted with the controversies surrounding the premieres of Charles Palissot's Les Philosophes and Voltaire's Le Caffé; ou, L'Écossaise at the Comédie-Française in 1760. […] Connors offers new perspectives on the conflict by delving deeply into the pamphlet literature and periodical reviews of the affair. For example, there is an insightful analysis of the short pamphlet Les Philosophes manqués by André-Charles Cailleau, written in the form of a play but never intended for the stage, which demonstrates how participants in the controversy appealed to both readers and spectators.[…] [T]his book is a welcome addition to recent interdisciplinary approaches to the interplay of public theatre and political culture in Old Regime and Revolutionary France.- French Studies Connors’s rich description of the political and personal calculations involved in Voltaire’s decision to enter the fray convincingly buttresses the argument that these plays assume a new genre identity by being mobilized for publicity purposes that far exceed the boundaries of the stage.- Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era Logan J. Connors is Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami. His next research project investigates connections between theater and the military in France and its colonies from 1680 to 1815
