David Gentilcore and Matthew Smith
If the 1980s may have been the high point of food additives—with Coca-Cola able to double the sales of ‘Tab’ in test markets by fortifying the fizzy diet drink with calcium —one of the more recent food trends has been not of additions but subtraction. We have all seen it on our supermarket shelves. A whole range of foods, from soy milk to sausages, are advertised as ‘additive-free’. This conveys a positive and healthy image to a public interested in health and wellbeing but anxious and suspicious about the nature of food additives. The expression has taken the place of abused terms like ‘natural’ or ‘all-natural’ on product packaging. It also makes it easier to rationalize the consumption of less healthy foods, which are at least perceived to be free from added artificial ingredients. Why not have another sausage; after all, it has ‘no synthetic preservatives’ and ‘no artificial flavours’? Additives we are understood not to like or approve of are thus removed (even whilst being simultaneously replaced with others)

Matthew Henry: The Bible, Prayer, and Piety – A Tercentenary Celebration
The summer of 2014 marked the tercentenary of the death of Matthew Henry (1662–1714), a leading figure among early eighteenth-century Dissenters and author of the six-volume Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1707–1714/25). This monumental work, which by 1855 had already been published in twenty-five different editions, attempted a peculiarly practical approach to the biblical text and continues to be widely used and readily accessible even today in both print and online versions. The theme of foreign (or ‘strange’) wives and Israelite intermarriage is one which occurs throughout the Hebrew Bible and, accordingly, throughout Matthew Henry’s commentary upon it. Where it appears, the practice of intermarriage is characterized by Henry as (at best) unwise and (at worst) a very real threat to both social and religious cohesion. This essay explores how Henry deals with the issue of ‘strange wives’, why he believes they continue to pose a threat, and (in view of the overall intention of his commentary) what ‘practical observations’ he offers to his reader as a result. In doing so it is argued that Henry’s commentary traces a thematic thread from the ante-diluvian age to the post-exilic period of calamities resulting from mixed marriages between ‘professors of religion’ and their ‘strange wives’
Smith New Neilson Library: Healthier Materials
With so much change happening in the manufacturing industry with the onset of new product transparency and disclosure standards, it can be difficult to know how to get involved in market transformation efforts. Our goal for this session is to share an example of how Smith College tackled this challenge. It will include an overview of the Material Health & Transparency Initiative implemented on the Neilson Library project, and the project\u27s team efforts to use this iconic building as a way to advocate for positive change in the marketplace.
Additional materials include draft presentation in parts and whole
