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.

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
Ernest Thomas Seton: an unforgettable personality. (Draft with hand-written revisions)
No full textThis piece, titled “Ernest Thompson Seton: an unforgettable personality”, gives a first hand interpretation of who Ernest Thompson Seton 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. This copy contains a letter written by Hanford M. Burr, faculty member at Springfield College, outlining changes he suggested for the manuscript. The document also contains handwritten notations, assumed to be by Burr, of suggested changes to the manuscript.

The cult of St Nicholas in medieval Italy
No full textSt Nicholas was one of the most popular saints in medieval Italy. His cult attracted the attention
of popes, kings and emperors, and his shrine at Bari became an important international pilgrimage
destination. This thesis asks how the cult of St Nicholas came to be so widespread and popular in
Italy, and why the saint attracted the attention of diverse groups and individuals.
This thesis is structured around four chapters. The first demonstrates that through a
process of Latinisation the cult of St Nicholas became integrated within Italian literary traditions
and within a new spiritual era. Chapter Two reveals that this Latinisation also occurred within the
saint’s iconography. Chapters Three and Four are case studies of the cult in Puglia and Venice,
locations which claimed possession of the saint’s relics. These case studies show that the general
developments that the cult of St Nicholas underwent in Italy, identified in Chapters One and Two,
did not apply universally. Instead, the presence of the saint’s relics resulted in a different profile
of the saint in Bari and Venice. Through the process of Latinisation, the cult of St Nicholas
became updated and remained relevant for its new Italian audience; Chapters Three and Four
show alternative ways that the cult of St Nicholas gained widespread popularity.
This thesis presents for the first time an iconographical study of St Nicholas in Italian art,
which develops existing research of the saint’s Byzantine iconography. Chapter Four presents a
profile of the cult of St Nicholas in Venice in the Middle Ages, which is a significant oversight in
the literature. The thesis uses a variety of visual and textual sources, in particular fresco and
altarpiece representations, archival documents from Venice and Rome (including the Apostolic
Visitations), and under-exploited contemporary and antiquarian Venetian sources

Meandering academics
No full textIn this chapter, six “meandering academics” share their journey through academe, presenting individual narratives that coalesce into a collage of collective meandering. Sharing consonant and dissonant themes, they arrive at a common understanding of their careers as purposeful, typically non-traditional, and often activist in rejecting conventional norms that would otherwise strangle their creativity. Their meanderings reject a corporatized academic model and both assert and cultivate attitudes and behaviors that permit restoration and scholarly reflection. In doing so, they seek to offer a channel for those embarking on an academic career to be bold in choosing their own path, and to be open to meandering digressions that might enlighten and refresh
Change of Rings Theorems
No full textTitle: Change of Rings Theorem, Author: Philip M. Robinson, Location: ThodeThe intention of this thesis is
to gather together the results of various papers
concerning the three change of rings theorems,
generalizing them where possible, and to determine
if the various results, although under different
hypotheses, are in fact, distinct.ThesisMaster of Science (MS
Posts for Crane House or Crane Lodge by Ernest Thompson Seton
No full textThe drawing entitled “Posts for Crane House or Crane Lodge” was sketched by Canadian-American writer, artist and naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton. As an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, he 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. The sketch is from a group of sketches done for Edgar Munroe Robinson, his friend and colleague, for use in the construction and design of the “Pueblo of the Seven Fires”, a permanent camp structure completed in 1933 on the Springfield College East Campus. The East Campus is a sixty acre wooded grove on the shores of Lake Massasoit in Springfield, Massachusetts.For biographical information on Edgar M.

De novo interstitial deletion 2q14.1q22.1: is there a recognizable phenotype?
No full textIn this report we describe a male patient with a rare de novo interstitial deletion of chromosome 2q14.1–q22.1. His karyotype was reported as 46,XY,del(2)(q13q21) but subsequent array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analysis redefined the deletion breakpoints as 2q14.1 and 2q22.1. Eight patients have been reported with deletions either within or spanning the region 2q13 or 2q14 to 2q22.1. In five patients the diagnosis was made by karyotype analysis alone and in three reported patients and the proband array CGH analysis was also performed. When the proband was compared with the eight previously reported patients it was apparent that they shared many clinical findings suggesting that patients with a de novo interstitial deletion involving 2q13 or 2q14 to 2q21 or 2q22 may have a recognizable phenotype. There are 14 known disease-associated genes in the deleted region of 2q14.1–q22.1 and their possible phenotypic effects on the proband and the eight previously reported patients are discussed
