Jacob Viner’s Reminiscences from the New Deal (February 11, 1953)
No full textThis paper presents and reproduces an unpublished oral history interview given by Jacob Viner in 1953. The interview released by Viner for the Columbia Oral History Project gives us a valuable opportunity to throw light on his advisory activity during the New Deal Era. In our introduction we attempt to make a critical appraisal of Viner's reminiscences and to state the contribution they can provide to our general knowledge of the period. In addition, we also attempt to find out some biographical and interpretative elements useful to understand Viner’s own vision and his contribution to important economic policy processes during the New Deal.
The presence and absence of god in the Jacob narrative
No full textThis thesis explores the theological complexity of the Jacob narrative. In particular this is centred upon the paradox of divine presence and absence, and the contrast of the human and the divine. In the first part, an investigation is made of three key episodes which contain an encounter with the divine: the opening oracle (25:19ff), Bethel (28:10-22) and Peniel (32:23-33). It is concluded that the first passage is constructed as an introduction, making explicit the theme of the presence of God in the Jacob story, but also introducing the human side of the paradox. Bethel and Peniel are based on older pre-Yahwistic traditions, now shaped and incorporated into the story of Jacob to throw a theological perspective over the wider plot. The second part consists of a reading of the wider Jacob story, with particular attention to the theme of divine presence and absence and the interaction of the human and the divine. It is argued that even the most human of stories betray a theological interest and contribute to the overall paradox, but also that there are several indications of the presence of God. In the conclusion, it is noted that behind the present unity of the Jacob story there is evidence of earlier traditions, a growing together of material, and supplements offering new perspectives. It is also concluded that a close reading of the final text and a historical-critical appreciation need not be mutually exclusive, and that a cautious use of critical insights has thrown light upon the final form. Finally, it is argued that the theme of the presence and absence of God offers a way of reading the Jacob story in a theological way, that does most justice to its historical depth, final form, and canonical status
Letter from Jacob O. Doesburg to Christian Vander Veen
No full textIn this letter from Jacob O. Doesburg to Christian Vander Veen who currently is a student in the New Brunswick Seminary studying for the ministry, he is writing about political issues in Holland. He mentions Henry Post, John Roost, Hendrik P. Scholte, Philip Phelps Jr., Giles Vande Wall, and also a reference to an Oggel, whom we assume, is Pieter J. Oggel, a former pastor in the First Reformed Church of Grand Haven who this year moved to Pella, Iowa, to serve as pastor of the First Reformed Church there. Doesburg also refers to Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte in a negative manner: ...His Ex[cellency] Van Raalte wants to force [the Americans who plan to form Hope Reformed Church] to become Dutch Reformed His preaching is very dull nowadays; it is as if he wants rather something else to do, Land-Speculator for instance;...https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1860s/1055/thumbnail.jp

Chemodivergent Organolanthanide-Catalyzed C–H α‑Mono-Borylation of Pyridines
No full textChemodivergent
synthetic methodologies enable the efficient introduction
of structural diversity into high-value organic products via simple
chemical alterations. In this regard, C–H activation and functionalization
of pyridinoid azines are important transformations in the synthesis
of many natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials.
Reflecting on azinyl nitrogen lone-pair steric repulsion, its tendency
to irreversibly coordinate metal ion catalysts, and the electron deficiency
of pyridine, C–H functionalization at the important α-position
remains challenging. Thus, developing earth-abundant catalysts for
α-selective azine mono-functionalization is an attractive target
for chemical synthesis. Here, the selective organolanthanide-catalyzed
α-mono-borylation of a diverse series of 18 pyridines is reported
using Cp*2LuCH(TMS)2 (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) (TMS = SiMe3) and affording
valuable precursors for subsequent functionalization. Experimental
and theoretical mechanistic data reported here support the intermediacy
of a C–H-activated η2-lanthanide-azine complex,
followed by intermolecular α-mono-borylation via σ-bond
metathesis. Notably, varying the lanthanide identity and substrate
substituent electronic character promotes marked chemodivergence of
the catalytic selectivity: smaller/more electrophilic lanthanide3+ ions and electron-rich substrates favor selective α-C–H
functionalization, whereas larger/less electrophilic lanthanide3+ ions and electron-poor substrates favor selective B–N
bond-forming 1,2-dearomatization. Such lanthanide series catalytic
chemodivergence is, to our knowledge, unprecedented
Johann Jacob Sturz e a nova Alemanha nos trópicos
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em HistóriaEstudo bioblibliográfico sobre o personagem Johann Jacob Sturz (l800 - 1877), destacando sua trajetória de vida no Brasil. No trabalho aborda-se seu projeto civilizador, seus ideais humanitários e a invenção de uma Alemanha além-oceano para atender, principalmente, aos interesses expansionistas dos Estados alemães. Sturz produziu uma imensa literatura na qual apresentou críticas à sociedade brasileira e procurou fazer do cargo de Cônsul Geral do Brasil na Prússia, não um refúgio seguro, e sim propor várias reformas, com destaque para a redistribuição de terras, que acreditava atenuar a fronteira entre a civilização e a bárbarie
O. A. C. Review Volume XLIX Issue 5, February 1937
No full textThis mid-winter issue begins with a travel diary of a student's journey through the Scottish Trossachs. The highlight of the issue is the success of the Conversazione and its theme of India. A student contributed a humorous piece on traveling salesmen, while another student presents the debate over the seminar method of teaching at the college. The Literary Section reports on the Canadian Author Evening with the speakers addressing the significance of Vimy Ridge. Toronto's debating team visits the campus with a challenge of speaking without "sprouting a whisker" -- saying "er" or "um" while speaking. Campus news provides updates on the numerous banquets and dances, campus humour, and the production of "Arms and the Man". The Macdonald Institute column contains a poem regarding the Conversat, a humorous "letter home", and news about the new recreation room in Mac Hall. The agricultural article pertains to the College's acquisition of Kerry Hill sheep. The athletic column reports on the various athletic team results. The Bits O' Bronze lecture was on the history of agriculture in Upper Canada. The Alumni column contains alumni updates and changes to the graduate list. The Macdonald Alumnae column reports on the teaching of household arts in Toronto public schools and alumnae updates.EditorialAs I recall the TrossacksThe travelling salesmanRound the world in two hoursOur seminar systemOur inquiring reporterThe East comes to the ConversatCranial contortionsMother Nature strains a pointLiterary sectionWhiskers and other weighty mattersOn the Misguided WorldCollege lifeMacdonald newsConversazione 1937Letters to the editorKerry Hill sheep introduced to CanadaO.
