The Bibliophile as Bookbinder: The Angling Bindings of S.A. Neff, Jr.
No full textMeet the man himself and view the works of S.A. Neff, Jr., a bibliophile and angler turned bookbinder extraordinaire, whose works have traveled across the country. While inspired by traditional bookbinding practices, S.A. Neff Jr. uses a decidedly contemporary approach that results in binding design wholly unique to its genre. His works will be on exhibit through November 16, 2018

No full text"Charles S. Neff" started life as a United States registered vessel in 1901. The shipbuilder, Jenks Shipbuilding Company in Port Huron, Michigan completed the construction for owner Samuel C. Neff and Sons. A variety of United States owners from 1917-1920 included; A. B. Mackay, James Donald and Argonne Steamship Company Incorporated. In 1918-1920 the "Charles S. Neff" was renamed "Serpentine". At the same time, the vessel's tonnage was increased to 1032 gross tons. With the name change came a change in ownership, name and registration. Goitia Hermanos and Company Lts. was the new owner, naming the vessel, "Gabino" with registration in Spain. During that time "Gabino" carried grain in the Great Lakes. After four year, 1920-1924, the "Gabino" was sold to Hulton Thompson and Company, Ltd. with registration changed to the United Kingdom. In 1925, "Gabino" was rebuilt as a sand dredge and purchased by Niagara Sand Corporation. With the change in ownership came a new registry and name. From 1925-1949, the vessel was given the name "Weston M. Carroll", registered in the United States and purchased by Buffalo Gravel Corporation. In 1942 it was taken to the coast. In 1949, the "Weston M. Carroll" changed ownership to R. C. Huffman Construction Company. The final name change was in 1949 with the Overseas Dredge and Dock Corporation. They purchased the vessel and renamed it "San Pedro". In February, 1955, "San Pedro" capsized and sank in the harbor in Fortaleza, Brazil. It was scrapped in the mid -1960 to clear the harbor

Description of male. Length: 2.8 mm. Forewing length: 1.8 mm. Coloration. Head (Fig. 17 E) and mesosoma base color black with bluish or greenish metallic luster; clypeus white, sometimes with pair of vertical sublateral brown stripes; supraclypeal mark white, transverse, often reduced or absent; paraocular mark white, transverse, reaching level of summit of clypeus; mandible tan or amber, tip reddish; labrum tan or amber; scape dark brown, lightened on apical tip; antenna light brown dorsally, tan ventrally; pronotal collar brown laterally; pronotal lobe brown, slightly lightened to tan dorsally; legs dark brown except tan on anterior fore tibia, joints of tibiae and femora, and distal tarsi; wing veins dark brown; metasoma uniformly amber (Fig. 15 D); T2 fovea dark brown; pygidial plate amber or brown. Structure and vestiture. Head quadrate, much broader than long (Fig. 17 E); face with appressed white pubescence encircling antennal base; eyes parallel; mandible simple, strongly bent medially, bend approaching 90 degree angle (Fig. 17 E), mandible length extending to far side of labrum in repose; labrum quadrate, 1.5X broader than long; disc of clypeus broader than high, slightly convex, apically protruding less than 1 OD from face; lateral extension reaching 1/4 distance to base of mandible; head with fine, sparse, pubescence ventrally; mesosoma strongly tessellate, impunctate, slightly shiny; pronotal collar slightly impressed, humeral angle weak; mesepisternum and margins of scutum sparsely covered with combination of recumbent and erect white pubescence; hind tibia with sparse, very short thickened hairs; metasoma broader than mesosoma, oval, wide basally, tapering apically, widest at T2/T3 (Fig. 16 D); terga tessellate and impunctate; T2 fovea linear, slightly thickened, 1/3 length of T2; pygidial plate broadly triangular, apex very broadly truncate (Fig. 23 G); hairs of prepygidial fimbria sparse and slightly thickened laterally. Terminalia. S8 (Fig. 56 G) with spiculum triangular, lateral apodemes prominent, flexed upwards; apical portion moderately convex, longer than broad, sides diverging slightly before converging at apex, apex strongly folded over at a right angle dorsally with slight carina at location of fold, folded-over area with prominent rounded medial emargination apically; sparse short hairs ventrally; circle of thinned cuticle medially. Genital capsule as in Figs. 58 M–N. Gonostyli separated dorsally by broad U-shape; lobes of gonostylus nearly equal in length, extending well below level of penis valve; dorsal lobe constricted basally, expanding apically into large, broad, rounded club, ventral lobe relatively narrow with few minute hairs on apex; volsella extending slightly beyond level of gonostylus; cuspis with multiple spicules on outer margin of apex; digitus short, narrow with single spicule apically; penis valve large and long, extending well beyond level of rest of genitalia, fused basally before splitting at level of gonostylus, apices sharply diverging and ending in relatively narrow point; endophallus with wavy internal structures, extending just beyond level of splitting of penis valve.

The speaking career of Pat Morris Neff.
No full textThe purpose of this study is to present Pat Morris Neff's career as a speaker. This study sought to discover and record facts concerning the life and speaking of Mr. Neff, a native Texan, who has been rated frequently as "an eloquent speaker."
The study was made using the following speeches: (1) a specialized biography of Pat Morris Neff as a speaker; (2) personality and characteristics of Mr. Neff which represents a consideration of those particular traits as connected with his speeches; (3) a study of the issues and occasions that prompted the preparation and presentation of his speeches; (4) a critical analysis and examination of three speeches, a list of speeches and on preparation and delivery.
The speeches selected for analysis were: (1) A Call to Arms, (2) Campaign Speech at Hillsboro when campaigning for governor, (3) Christian Patriots in a Chaotic World.
This thesis makes no pretenses of an exhaustive study of the speaking career of Pat Morris Neff. Mr. Neff's speaking warrants intensive treatment at much greater length than one thesis permits, for his influence as a speaker was considerable
