During his time at Springfield College he played Lacrosse, Soccer, Wrestling, and Ice Hockey. He was also involved in many student activities and clubs, and even served as the Varsity S Club president for one year. A"Y" man through and through, he was highly involved with the Baltimore YMCA, Hi-Y clubs, boys work, and camping.

The community conundrum: Metis critical perspectives on the application of R v Powley in British Columbia
No full textIn this dissertation I argue for the need to develop a Metis Critical Legal Theory, or “MetCrit”, a theory that is particular to the cultures, issues and concerns of Metis people. Suggestions towards the development of MetCrit are proposed in light of the difficulties of Metis rights claimants in British Columbia following creation of the “historic community connection” test in R v Powley, the leading case on the constitutional protection of Metis rights in Canada. Misconceptions about BC Metis history and about Metis communities generally have resulted in legal decisions that hold there are no historic Metis communities in BC, and thus no communities capable of meeting the Powley test. The BC situation reveals that Powley, as it is currently interpreted, cannot adequately deal with the realities of Metis history or with Metis conceptions of community, and that the community connection test itself is flawed. MetCrit is proposed as a possible lens through which to examine BC Metis rights cases in light of the historiography of the Metis of BC, and through which to critique the Powley court’s attempt to concretize Metis community identities. I suggest that MetCrit could provide spectrums of space for avoiding some of the dualities that are reflected in Canadian legal and historical accounts of Metis people and communities.Graduate2019-06-3
The student folder for Herbert Frank Powley

The English Navy in the Revolution of 1688
No full textFirst published in 1928, this was one of the first in-depth studies to investigate why the English navy was unable to prevent William of Orange's invasion in 1688. Edward B. Powley argues that a combination of bad strategic choices as well as adverse weather, William's so-called 'Protestant wind', resulted in the Navy failing to stop the Dutch Fleet landing, and ultimately enabled William to take possession of the country and crown. In a detailed chronological narrative of naval events between the spring of 1687 and February 1689, Powley charts the key decisions as documented in the archival record, focusing particularly on the Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Dartmouth's surviving papers and what they reveal about the input of King James II to naval affairs.</jats:p
Au-delà de Powley : L’horizon territorial et identitaire des Métis
No full textOn a souvent tendance à voir la décision de la Cour suprême du Canada dans l’arrêt Powley exclusivement comme un aboutissement juridique. Or, s’il est vrai que ce jugement offre des précisions depuis longtemps attendues sur les intentions de l’article 35 de la Constitution et sur la définition juridique des Métis, on peut aussi voir la décision Powley comme un simple chapitre sociojuridique du livre identitaire et territorial des Métis du Canada. En fait, comme l’expose l’auteur, l’arrêt Powley donne une définition à la fois précise et large de ce que constitue une « communauté métisse » sur le plan historique comme sur le plan contemporain. D’une part, l’arrêt établit des critères assez précis devant définir les détenteurs de droit métis, et une interprétation étroite de ces critères pourrait compromettre la reconnaissance légale de plusieurs communautés métisses. D’autre part, il existe plusieurs « zones grises » dans ce jugement, soit autant d’aspects restant vaguement définis et laissant place à l’interprétation. Prenant appui sur l’expérience historique, identitaire et territoriale des Métis, cet article aborde les enjeux soulevés par ces critères et tente une interprétation généreuse de ces zones grises. Les notions de marge, de limite et de confins – autant de facettes différentes de l’« horizon » identitaire et territorial des Métis – serviront ici de cadre théorique et conceptuel.The Supreme Court of Canada’s Powley decision is often depicted exclusively as a legal finality. Although this decision offers a long expected precision as to the Constitution’s intentions in Section 35 and legal definition of the Métis, it can also be conceived of as simply a socio-legal chapter of a book on the Canadian Métis identity and territory. As I shall argue here, the Powley decision provides a historical and contemporary definition of “Métis communities” that is both specific and broad. On the one hand, the decision establishes criteria which are somewhat specific but may compromise, if narrowly interpreted, the legal recognition of many Métis communities across the country. On the other hand, there are many “grey areas” in the decision, that is elements that remain vaguely defined and leave room to interpretation. Relying on the Métis experience of their history, identity and territory, I discuss what is at stake with regards to the specific criteria, and I propose a generous interpretation of the “grey areas.” The notions of “margin”, “limit” and “borders” as well as the different dimensions of the Métis identity and territorial “horizons” compose this paper’s theoretical and conceptual framework
The quantitation of therapeutic olingonucleotides and their impurities analysed using hyphenated liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry
No full textAs demand for therapeutic oligonucleotide drugs to treat a wider range of conditions increases, there is a requirement for a robust method for the quantitation of the impurities within a drug product. The development of a method that can be employed across all laboratories, regardless of the Liquid chromatography – Mass spectrometry instrumentation used, is highly desirable to ensure consistency of testing and to confirm inter-batch variation.Factors influencing the reliability of quantitation have been investigated, including mobile phase additives, mass analyser type and in-source collision-induced dissociation voltage. Strategies for quantitating the data collected have also been considered and compared. The effect of the oligonucleotide sequence on the level of in-source fragmentation has been observed and discussed.Recommendations are made for the most appropriate mobile phase reagents, mass analyser type and method of quantitation to be used to allow the development of an analytical method for use across laboratories to accurately and precisely quantitate therapeutic oligonucleotides and their impurities
