The building is as large as an entire city block and has a completely symmetrical exterior. It is made of Indiana gray limestone and has a rusticated base. There is a skylight over the lobby that contains over 1000 square feet of leaded stained glass. This image shows the building's cornerstone

Letter to E. C. McCarty from John S. Watts
No full textLetter to E. C. McCarty from John S. Watts, former judge, attorney, Santa Fe, regarding what he had found out about the estate of his deceased brother, Isaac McCarty. Watts had not received any letters or payment from the McCarty family to do the investigation thus far. He learned that the partner Ceran St. Vrain and Preston Beck were both away for month. St. Vrain had paid the debts of McCarty amounting to 30.000, the remaining could be divided between St. Vrain and the family. There was also a contract for flour with the goverment, the value of which was unknown. Watts did not want to proceed further without authorization and promise of compensation. A transcript in the handwriting of the author. Document in English, 3 pp/fr, missing heading page
Semantics of Temporal Indexicals
Full text linkThe thesis investigates the formal semantics of temporal indexical expressions in English.
Examples of such expressions include now, tomorrow and last year.
In the past, research has concentrated on instances of such expressions which have two
major properties. These indexicals are sensitive to extralinguistic context, and while they
do possess descriptive meaning, that meaning does not appear within the propositions
which correspond to utterances of the sentences which contain the indexicals.
The thesis argues that this line of research has neglected a significant body of natural
language evidence in which indexicals display rather different behaviour. We term indexicals
from the first group unbound, and indexicals from the second group bound. Given
these two domains of indexical evidence, the thesis sets out to achieve three primary aims.
The first aim is to provide a formal semantic representation of both bound and unbound
indexicals which systematically relates them, while distinguishing them from non-indexical
expressions. To establish this aim, we informally investigate the relationship between the
two types of indexical, and propose a unifying generalisation. This generalisation is then
embedded within an existing but novel semantic system, due to Richards, called IQ. IQ is
an interval-based semantics for tenses and temporal quantifiers in English which makes use
of double-indexing. IQ must be modified so as to properly accommodate indexicals. With a
new representation in hand, we demonstrate that the thesis can adequately treat both types
of indexical occurrence.
The second aim of the thesis is to assess the effects of the incorporation of the two types
of indexical on the semantic entities of IQ. The propositions of IQ already include two
major types: value free and value specific. Using the new representation of indexicals, the
thesis shows that there are further varieties of the value free proposition. These propositions
are then compared with Kaplan's contents, Frege's thoughts and Russell's propositions.
The final aim is to establish a rigorous formulation of a fragment of the version of IQ
derived in the thesis. Given this formulation, it is possible to assess its position relative to
a landmark in the logic of indexicals. Using mathematical techniques, the thesis proves
that the tense operators and indexical operators of the final version of IQ have particular
properties which distinguish them from those in other indexical logics also based on
double-indexing
The Woman Diver and the Dragon Ball
No full textA Noh play and temple chronicle, thought to have prehistoric origins in one of the oldest professions, was translated for the Shikoku Bilingual Guidebook by Akiko Takemoto and Steve McCarty. The co-author narrates this podcast, telling the heart-wrenching story of a woman's ultimate sacrifice, with an overlay of Buddhism and archetypal symbolism. After the story, some discussion questions are suggested to have listeners consider the significance of the story and the East Asian cultural value conflicts involved
