Dr. Louis Schwartz – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Louis Schwartz, Associate Professor of English, discusses his new book, Milton and Maternal Mortality, which focuses on how childbirth was associated with fear, suffering and death in early modern England. This landmark study examines John Milton’s life and work, uncovering evidence of the poet’s engagement with maternal mortality and the dilemmas it presented. Drawing on both literary scholarship and up-to-date historical research, Dr. Schwartz provides important new readings of Milton’s poetry, as well as the medical practices and religious beliefs that surrounded the perils of childbirth during the seventeenth century

Paula Schwartz Stein oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted as part of the Houston Jewish History Archive.Paula Schwartz Stein grew up in a Jewish family in Schulenburg, Texas. Her family came to central Texas in the 1860s from the Alsace-Lorraine region of western Europe. Stein’s father, Hirsh Schwartz, served as mayor of Schulenburg from 1965 until his death in 1981. In this interview, Stein relates the history of her grandparents and great-grandparents in Texas, remembers her father and his career in politics and civil service, and describes what it was like to grow up Jewish in a small Texas town. She talks about Schulenburg’s Temple Israel, which her family helped to establish, and celebrating Jewish holidays such as Rosh Hashanah and Passover there.

Seymour I. Schwartz, M.D. oral history, 5 Feb. 2001
No full textA native of New York City (b. 1928), Seymour I. Schwartz received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin and his medical degree from New York University (1950). He interned at Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, N.Y. (1950-51) and then served two years in the military. Schwartz returned to Rochester to complete his surgical training and served as chief resident in 1956-57. At the end of his residency, Schwartz began a forty-eight year career in the Dept. of Surgery of the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentristy, culminating in his chairing the department between 1987 and 1998. Schwartz performed general surgery, vascular surgery and cardiothoracic surgery, but is particularly known in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. He is the author of nearly 250 articles in the medical literature and numerous books, and was the editor of seven editions of The Principles of Surgery published between 1969 and 1999. He has served as president of the Society of Clinical Surgery, the American Surgical Association, and the American College of Surgeons. Schwartz's collection of pre-1800 maps of America is internationally known, as are his several monographs on the history of cartography.
On February 5, 2001, Schwartz was interviewed by James T. Adams, a colleague and friend in the Dept. of Surgery. During the interview, Schwartz discusses his decision to go into medicine and surgery; his reasons for coming to Rochester, N.Y.; faculty who influenced his career (e.g., John Morton, Sr., Earl Mahoney, Merle Scott, George Emerson); Strong Memorial Hospital in the 1950s; his decision to enter academic medicine rather than private practice; his wife Ruth's career in ob/gyn; their children; several departmental chairs (e.g., Charles Rob, Merle Scott, etc.); highlights during his tenure as chairman; the publication of The Principles of Surgery; developments in general surgery and hepatobiliary surgery during his career; notable contemporaries in surgery and medicine; and the future of general surgery. In the second part of the interview, Schwartz discusses the beginnings of his interest in maps; his collection; and his contributions to the literature of cartographic history. He concludes with more reflections on his wife and three sons

Differential diagnosis. Recognized by moderate size (3.2–4.1 mm); pale green general colouration, usually with reddish fasciae on hemelytron (Figs 78–79, but hemelytron sometimes widely pale as in Figs 63, 66); reddish brown metafemur (Fig. 56); developed pygophoral spine (Fig. 126); elongate, not bifurcate hypophysis of left paramere; and long hair-like spinules on endosoma (Fig. 128). Distinguished readily from the preceding A. alaneylesi sp. nov. by significantly larger size and reddish metafemur. Biology. This polyphagous mirid is associated with inflorescences of various dicots, such as Amaranthaceae, Anacardiaceae, Araliaceae, Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Oleaceae, Rutaceae and Sabiaceae (YASUNAGA 2001); the immature forms were also confirmed on Rhus javanica L. (Simaroubaceae), Mallotus spp. (Euphorbiaceae), Meliosma arnottiana (Wight) Walp. (Sabiaceae), Zanthoxylum ailanthoides Siebold & Zucc. (Rutaceae). Some individuals were found to feed on crops, cucumber, eggplant, mango or papaya.A multivoltine cycle is assumed for Anthophilolygus bakeri; in subtropics and tropics, the adults are collected almost throughout a year. The adults are frequently attracted to UV lights, and occasionally hundreds of individuals were observed to visit light trap screens at night. Both adults and immature forms of Anthophilolygus bakeri comb. nov. are found dominantly on inflorescences of various dicots, evergreen broadleaf trees in particular; this taxon does not appear to be host plant specific, presumably utilizing pollen and/or honey dew as a major diet component. Distribution. Japan (Kyushu, Bonin Islands, Ryukyus) (YASUNAGA & TAKAI 2014), Taiwan (almost whole country except for central highlands) (POPPIUS 1915 and present records), Philippines (Luzon, Negros, Visayas) (POPPIUS 1915; new record for Visayas), Cambodia (Siem Reap) (new record), Laos (Vientiane) (new record), Thailand (Chaiyaphum, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Ratchasima) (new records). This widespread mirid has presumably been introduced to some Japanese subtropical islands (YASUNAGA 2001), and is recently expanding its distribution northward in Japan, probably due to the global warming (YASUNAGA & TAKAI 2014). Comments. Colouration is variable (reddish pattern on dorsum in particular). There are a few more unidentified congeners (with darker and larger dorsal maculae) in the Oriental Region (cf. Fig. 81); A. bakeri is generally paler than those mirids, with smaller dorsal maculae or fasciae. POPPIUS (1915) described Lygus tainanensis [later transferred to Prolygus by SCHWARTZ & KERZHNER (1997)] from Taiwan, comparing it only with L. matsumurae Poppius, 1915 [placed in Neolygus by LU & ZHENG (1998b)]. POPPIUS (1915) did not mention its similarity to Lygus bakeri, although pale female specimens of L. bakeri (Figs 58, 66 right) are nearly impossible to be distinguished from L. tainanensis (Fig. 67). Based on the great similarity in habitus and female genitalia (cf. SCHWARTZ & KERZHNER 1997: Figs 33–34), both species are regarded to be conspecific, and what was described as L. tainanensis is apparently a pale variant of L. bakeri, one of the most common mirids in Taiwan.Accordingly, a new synonymy is proposed: Anthophilolygus bakeri (Poppius, 1915) = Prolygus tainanensis (Poppius, 1915), syn. nov. Both specific names were published simultaneously by POPPIUS (1915) and have been impartially treated by subsequent authors in 20th century (CARVALHO 1959, 1980; SCHUH 1995; SCHWARTZ & KERZHNER 1997; KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999). We presently select L. bakeri as valid name.Published as part of Yasunaga, Tomohide, Schwartz, Michael D. & Chérot, Frédéric, 2018, Review of the plant bug genus Prolygus and related mirine taxa from eastern Asia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae), pp. 357-388 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae (Acta.
