Letter from Ralph L. Cheney to Herbert L. Patrick (February 18, 1918)
No full textA two-page copy of a letter from Ralph L. Cheney to Herbert L. Patrick, dated February 18, 1918. In this letter, Cheney writes about his hope to get more letters from men who went to Springfield College and are now fighting in the war. He also tells Patrick about the college's role in the war, as they offer a special course about war work. Lastly, Cheney asks Patrick to send his deepest regards to Tom Leonard and Charles Hewitt, who are recovering from injuries.Ralph L. Cheney served as the head of Springfield College’s Secretarial Department from 1907 to 1924. Before taking this position, he worked as a YMCA secretary in Albany and Niagara Falls, New York.
Herbert L. Patrick (1894-1949) graduated from Reading High School in 1913 and enrolled in Springfield College's secretarial course in 1915. He was enlisted in the 1917 in the engineer corps and later transfered to the calvary. He wrote a riveting account of what maybe the Battle of Soissons July 18-24 (rg104-01-a-01-06-016) to his mother. This battle was notable for driving the Germans back and the French reclaiming much of the territory lost during the May offensive. Unknown to Patrick, the infamous dictator of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler was present at the battle of Soissons

Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Patrick Chamoiseau Recovering Memory
No full textThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau. Considered by many as one of the most innovative writers to hit the French literary scene in over 40 years, Chamoiseau made his name with his book Texaco (published in 1992 and winner of the highest literary prize in France, the Prix Goncourt). His books have gone on to sell millions and his work has been translated by a number of academic presses. McCusker sets the author in context, providing a valuable contribution to 'memory studies' by looking at literary representation of memory in Martinique, a society founded on slavery but now politically assimilated to the metropolitan centre, France.Title Page -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1: Beginnings: The Enigma of Origin -- 2: 'Une tracée de survie': Autobiographical Memory -- 3: Memory Re-collected: Witnesses and Words -- 4: Memory Materialized: Traces of the Past -- 5: Flesh Made Word: Traumatic Memory in Biblique des derniers gestes -- Afterword -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau.

On some aspects of the aerodynamic performance of ground-effect wings
No full textWith the advent of the hovercraft and hydrofoil, high-speed, overwater travel has become a practical proposition. Nevertheless, there would appear to be an upper limit to the speed of these craft imposed by, on the one hand, the intake momentum drag of the hovercraft and, on the other, the drag of the submerged foils of the hydrofoil- One method proposed for reducing these drags employs aerodynamic lifting surfaces to off-load the cushion or hydrodynamic lifting systems. These surfaces, which are referred to as 'ground-effect wings', fall into two main categories, namely 'open' and 'closed'. The latter type is defined as that which mays in theory, be designed for zero induced drag; the former type is that which may not. By employing the linearized lifting-surface theory the minimum induced drag of an open configuration, consisting of a planar wing with end plates, is determined. The results of this theory are in agreement with experiment in predicting that the effect of end plates is to reduce the induced drag. However, the indications of the experiments are that the reduction in induced drag is somewhat greater than the theoretical prediction. There is evidence that this is due to the tendency of the end plates to suppress harmful non-linear effects such as edge separations at the tips of the wing and the sidewash at the wing. A theoretical and experimental study of the lift and induced drag of a closed configuration, comprised of a substantially planar wing with end plates and not designed ab initio for zero induced drag, is</p
