Interview with Clare Mallory Millikan
No full textAn interview in January 1981 with Clare Mallory Millikan, daughter of mountaineer George Mallory and wife of Glenn Millkan (1906-1947), second son of Robert Andrews Millikan, Caltech’s first executive head.
In this interview, Mrs. Millikan recalls meeting her future husband in 1937, while she was a Cambridge university undergraduate reading history and Glenn Millikan, a Cambridge PhD, was a tutorial supervisor at Trinity College and working under E. D. Adrian in the university’s Physiology Department. She discusses their mutual love of hiking and climbing. A year later, they were married, and when World War II broke out they were in the United States, where Glenn soon went to work for Detlev Bronk, at the Johnson Foundation for Medical Physics of the University of Pennsylvania, and later at Cornell Medical College in New York City. She describes their lives during the war years and something of his work with John Pappenheimer on the Millikan oximeter, with which the U.S. Army Air Force equipped its fighter pilots to keep them from blacking out at high altitudes.
She recalls their move to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1946, where Glenn Millikan headed the Physiology Department, and his fatal accident in May 1947 while they were climbing in the Cumberland Mountains. She remarks on her impressions of and relations with her in-laws: Robert and Greta Millikan and Glenn’s two brothers, Clark and Max Millikan

Mallory-Neely House
No full textThis building was photographed and uploaded to DLynx during the summer of 2016 by the Visual Resources Center.The Mallory-Neely house was first built as a single-story house in 1852 by Isaac Kirtland. In 1864, Benjamin Babb purchased the home adding a second story, and he later sold it to James Neely who added a third story. The grand Victorian style home at 653 Adams Avenue in the Victorian Village and Midtown Medical District is now owned by the city of Memphis and functions as a museum operated by the Pink Palace Family of Museums. Its round arches at the main entrance reflect elements of Italian Renaissance architecture, but features such as the tower and parquet flooring trully represent it as a Victorian mansion.The stucco-over-brick home has remarkably maintined its original state. The Mallory-Neely House is on the National Register of Historic Places. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.

Jonesin': the life and music of Philly Joe Jones
No full textThis thesis explores the life of drummer “Philly” Joseph Rudolf Jones, one of jazz’s most renowned, unknown figures. As the drummer for the Miles Davis Quintet/Sextet and a later incarnation of the Bill Evans Trio, Joe achieved worldwide fame and success. Yet, his life story has always been told in the footnotes of the towering figures he performed with: John Coltrane, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, etc. Jazz history books recognize Joe’s contributions and nearly all provide a space, albeit a small one, to recognize his accomplishments. Leonard Feather’s The Encyclopedia of Jazz has an entry for Joe, Lewis Porter’s An Historical Survey of Jazz Drumming Styles lists Joe as an important figure in the evolution of jazz drumming, and The Oxford Companion to Jazz states that “just about anyone of consequence worked with Jones.” These texts and many others put Joe in a place of prominence for a handful of sentences. However, footnoting Joe’s success overlooks the fact that he recorded on more than one-hundred albums from 1955-1960 and was probably the most recorded American drummer in any genre during that time period. Despite his popularity and critical acclaim, no published author has delved into Joe’s complex life with any depth. This thesis explores Joe’s musical biography and seeks to illuminate the paradoxes therin. Joe’s story contains drug use, prison time, and abrasive behavior. On the other hand, he was an excellent musician and a generous man who mentored many young musicians. Joe’s life is intertwined in a web of circumstantial experiences: a fatherless upbringing, military service during World War II, integrating the Philadelphia Transit Company, and working to survive as a musician in New York. There are also lesser-known parts of his life including his roots as a Rhythm and blues drummer, his love for big band music, and his associations with the avant-garde. Joe overcame the obstacles of socioeconomic status, racism, evolving musical styles, and the drug culture to become a superb musician who still found time to educate the next generation.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Dustin E.

Social influence and uptake of couples HIV testing and counselling in KwaZulu‑natal, South Africa
No full textSocial influences may create a barrier to couples HIV testing and counselling (CHTC) uptake in sub-Saharan Africa. This secondary analysis of data collected in the ‘Uthando Lwethu’ randomised controlled trial used discrete-time survival models to evaluate the association between within-couple average ‘peer support’ score and uptake of CHTC by the end of nine months’ follow-up. Peer support was conceptualised by self-rated strength of agreement with two statements describing friendships outside of the primary partnership. Eighty-eight couples (26.9%) took up CHTC. Results tended towards a dichotomous trend in models adjusted only for trial arm, with uptake significantly less likely amongst couples in the higher of four peer support score categories (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.18, 0.68 [7–10 points]; OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.28, 0.99 [≥ 11 points]). A similar trend remained in the final multivariable model, but was no longer significant (AOR 0.59, 95% CI 0.25, 1.42 [7–10 points]; AOR 0.88, 95% CI 0.36, 2.10 [≥ 11 points]). Accounting for social influences in the design of couples-focused interventions may increase their success

Ethical Responsibilities of the Non-Heritage Learner of Lingít
No full textCreating fluent second language speakers is a fundamental component of a successful language revitalization movement. While the methods for second language acquisition require critical discourse, equally important to consider are the attitudes and responsibilities of individual learners. In their article “Technical, emotional, and ideological issues in reversing language shift: examples from Southeast Alaska,” the Dauenhauers do the difficult introspective work of recognizing existing language ideologies for Lingít, an indigenous and endangered language of Southeast Alaska. They write “we have contributed to the failures as well as the successes in the general language-restoration effort of the last quarter century” (1998). This kind of honest reflection is necessary in the work to create more Lingít speakers especially as language learning pathways continue to be sculpted. This paper comes from the perspective of two second language learners of Lingít who began studying Lingít at the university level. As one author is from Mohawk descent and the other identifying as non-native, we will discuss how responsibilities materialize from learning Lingít with these identities. As universities increase access to endangered indigenous language courses, populations of non-heritage speakers grow. Previous work done by language researchers such as Weinberg argue that analyzing the involvement of these learners may reveal motivations for continued language learning (2016). This is an attempt to consider the ethical dimensions of learning an indigenous language as an adult non-heritage learner as well as the role of the universities that study and teach these languages.
