Elon Past, Present, and Future: Presidents Long and Staley, Part Three (2001)
No full textThis video is part of a series of videos that document James Earl Danieley lecturing during the class he teaches each Winter term at Elon University called Elon: Past, Present, Future. Included in all the videos in the collection, he discusses a number of topics that relate to the history of Elon University. Specifically, in this video he discusses major topics that include: the YWCA (the Young Women’s Christian Association) increased membership with bible studies in 1889; no formal athletics program in the 1880’s; Benjamin F. Long felt it was important to have informal sports programs; the students were building a gym in the Old Main Administration building; in 1895, the first football game was at Comer Field (now Station at Mill Point); students starting activities such as the glee club and the publication of the Elon College Monthly which stopped production in 1896; Trustees borrowing money for renovations totaling over $12 million dollars to build a sports facility and then going into debt; discussing how the school got out of debt with help from faculty, staff, and students; United Church of Christ was founded and church meetings took place in Whitley Auditorium until 1959; after William S. Long resigned (served as Elon’s President from 1889-1894) William Wesley Staley (served as Elon’s President from 1894-1905) was selected as the new Elon College President; in 1894, there were 184 students enrolled at Elon College; William Wesley Staley served as Elon’s President from his home in Suffolk, Virginia and traveled to Elon College occasionally; Staley kept detailed communication notes with John U. Newman who was the President of the faculty; Staley wrote a book called the “Copybook”of his communications with John U. Newman; in 1924, William S. Long was killed in an automobile accident.

Behavior of geodesic rays in spaces with geometric group actions
No full textThis dissertation studies certain groups by studying spaces on which they act geometrically. These spaces are studied by examining the behavior of geodesic rays in these spaces, which gives geometric data about the space that can translate into algebraic data about the group. First, we investigate the amenability of Thompson's group F by studying the geometry of its Cayley graph. We apply the uniformly finite homology of Block and Weinberger to subsets of this graph. Many large subsets of the Cayley graph are shown to be nonamenable by exhibiting certain arrangements of geodesic rays which we call "tree-like quasi-covers". We then examine CAT(0) boundaries. If a group acts geometrically on two CAT(0) spaces X and Y , then one obtains a G-equivariant quasi-isometry from X to Y. One may look at the image of a geodesic ray in X, and look at its closure in the boundary of Y . We show that this "boundary image" can have the homeomorphism type of any compact, connected subset of Euclidean space.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaIncludes bibliographical referencesby Daniel Stale

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
