Ernest Thompson Seton: an unforgettable personality, by Edgar M. Robinson
No full textThis piece, titled “Ernest Thomas Seton: an unforgettable personality”, gives a first hand interpretation of who Ernest Thompson Seton (it is believed that whoever put the cover on this document spelled his name wrong) was through the eyes of Edgar Robinson. Robinson explains what a strong relationship the two of them had and what a strong mentor Seton was to Robinson. Ernest Thompson Seton was an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, and was largely responsible for the American Indian influence in the Boy Scouts of America that offered young people knowledge of an outdoor life based on Native American Indian customs, legends and beliefs. Seton was Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from 1910 to 1915. Edgar M. Robinson was a 1901 graduate from the YMCA Training School, now Springfield college, where he later returned to serve on the faculty as the Honorary Director of Boys Work Courses and the Adviser in Methods and Principles in Work with Boys from 1927-1937.For biographical information on Edgar M.

Early Days of the Boy Scouts, by Edgar M. Robinson
No full textThis piece, titled “Early Days of the Boy Scouts”, gives a unique first hand account of how the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) originated. It was written by Edgar M. Robinson 40 years after the founding of the BSA. In the piece, he details every aspect of how the Boy Scouts was founded, and even includes a time line in which every major event is noted.Prior to his days doing work for the BSA, Edgar M. Robinson was a student at the YMCA Training School, which is now known as Springfield College. While he was a student at Springfield College, he worked for the YMCA, and was named the Boys' Work Secretary of the International Committee in 1900. One report states, ”at the time he took over, there were twenty Boys' Work Secretaries and 30,000 boys as members nationwide. Thirteen years later, there were 363 secretaries with over 120,000 youth in membership”. In April, 1910, he was named the managing director of the BSA. In 1926, he received the Silver Buffalo Award, for his efforts in helping to get the BSA off the ground. Robinson joined the faculty of Springfield College almost thirty years after graduation and served as the Honorary Director of Boys Work Courses and the Adviser in Methods and Principles in Work with Boys at Springfield College from 1927-1937. In 2000, he was recognized, yet again, and named to the YMCA Hall of Fame.

"Pukwana" by Serena Truman Robinson (ca. 1931)
No full textA poem tilted "Pukwana" written by Serena Truman Robinson (ca. 1931). The poem is about the Pukwana lodge built in 1931 on the East Campus at Springfield College.Pukwana means “Smoke of Indian Peace Pipe.” Built as a trial run for the Pueblo to ensure that the materials used in building a Pueblo structure (structures typically built by Native Americans in the Southwestern United States using adobe mud bricks) in the Northeast could withstand the winter’s Frost, the Pukwana Lodge was a one room structure with an open fireplace in one corner. It was dedicated on November 18, 1931. The structure no longer exists.

Competing models of socially constructed economic man : differentiating Defoe's Crusoe from the Robinson of neoclassical economics
No full textDaniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe has seldom been read as an explicitly political text. When it has, it appears that the central character was designed to warn the early eighteenth-century reader against political challenges to the existing economic order. Insofar as Defoe’s Crusoe stands for "economic man", he is a reflection of historically-produced assumptions about the need for social conformity, not the embodiment of any genuinely essential economic characteristics. This insight is used to compare Defoe’s conception of economic man with that of the neoclassical Robinson Crusoe economy. On the most important of the ostensibly generic principles espoused by neoclassical theorists, their "Robinson" has no parallels with Defoe’s Crusoe. Despite the shared name, two quite distinct social constructions serve two equally distinct pedagogical purposes. Defoe’s Crusoe extols the virtues of passive middle-class sobriety for effective social organisation; the neoclassical Robinson champions the establishment of markets for the sake of productive efficiency
