Mercer Literary Society records
No full textThe Mercer Literary Society, one of the Maryland Agricultural College's earliest student organizations, was founded in 1861 by Dr. William N. Mercer of Louisiana. Open to any individual in good standing with the college, students joined the society to pursue intellectual pursuits that were not addressed in the rigid course work of the nineteenth century. At the Mercer Literary Society meetings, members developed oratory skills and listed to speakers debate the major issues of the day. The society also maintained a library known to be superior to that of the Maryland Agricultural College itself. The original society was reconfigured several times during its existence, ultimately becoming the New Mercer Literary Society in 1896. The records of the Mercer Literary Society consist of minutes, membership lists, and a constitution for the New Mercer Literary Society. The bound volumes also include copies of the Journal of the New Mercer Literary Society

Mercer 5: A probable new globular cluster in the Galactic bulge
No full textWe present a detailed study of a dust-obscured Galactic star cluster Mercer 5 ([MCM2005b] 5) in an extremely crowded field in the Milky Way. Near-infrared (near-IR) photometry from United Kingdom Infrared Digital Sky Surveys (UKIDSS) and the Son of ISAAC on the New Technology Telescope (SofI/NTT), combined with near-IR spectroscopy also from SofI, indicates that it is almost certainly a Galactic globular cluster, located at the edge of the Galactic bulge. The cluster suffers ~9 mag of visual extinction, with strong evidence for an extinction gradient across the cluster. A simulation of the differential reddening in the cluster using empirical data from NGC 6539 (chosen because it had high signal-to-noise ratio data and low field star contamination) as a template mimics the observations extremely well. This simulation and other arguments are used to indicate that the most prominent clump of stars in the colour-magnitude diagrams is a horizontal branch clump. On this basis we conclude that the cluster is at a distance of ~5.5kpc and suffers from visual extinction ranging from ~8.5 to ~12.5 mag. Alternative explanations for its nature, such as a young cluster or an old open cluster, are much less likely, on the grounds of no visible main sequence or stars with IR excesses for the former and location versus lifetime arguments for the latter. © 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS

Hôpitaux et pratique médicale dans la ville de Mexico
No full textHugo Mercer: Hospitals and medical practices in Mexico City.
This article is the translation of a communique by the author on hospitals and the medical practice; it outlines a socio-historical analysis of the hospital infrastructure which is divided into three parts: the hospital as an instrument for righting wrongs, as an instrument of order, or as an agent of modernization of the country. For each type of establishment there is a corresponding spécific medical practice with its particular social function of medicine.Hugo Mercer : Hôpitaux et pratique médicale dans la ville de Mexico.
Ce texte, qui est la traduction d'une communication faite par l'auteur sur le thème des hôpitaux et de la pratique médicale, esquisse une analyse socio-historique de l'infrastructure hospitalière de la ville de Mexico. Trois moments distincts découpent l'évolution de cette infrastructure : l'hôpital est successivement instrument d'expiation des fautes, instrument d'ordre ou agent de la modernisation du pays. À chaque type d'établissement correspond une pratique médicale spécifique et une fonction sociale particulière de la médecine.Mercer Hugo. Hôpitaux et pratique médicale dans la ville de Mexico.
