[Mary Freeman Shepherd letter to Sarah Wesley, [1797 or 1809] December 14]
No full text[To Sarah Wesley] Thursday, December 14. Dear Sally, I like your Quaker much. She comes on Tuesday. The name of my protégée is Sheppard; her little girl's Louisa Sheppard. The child speaks French as well as English but cannot read French. She is seven years old, hath been in France from an infant of a few months old. The mother before she married was several years English teacher at a boarding school, went over about six years ago with her husband to France. He as an agent broker to and from England. She taught English to the French; her husband is detained in France as an Englishman. She in my mind foolishly returned to England with her child last August, finds most of her former friends removed by death and human contingencies far off, is a stranger in her own land and very destitute of a subsistence. She can speak French very well, but I fear is not qualified to teach that language. Yet possessing it so as to speak it might be the more desirable even as an English teacher. But will want a few articles in clothing for a decent change. She hath three shifts, one good dress, one tolerable, and one more inferior; so for [?] handkerchiefs, aprons, under coats and stockings she is rather bare. I wish to see you so soon as you have a breathing interval. I breathe Vendetta Ultionem to that she fiend Boswell and her male associate in malice, Sam Belial.[1] Yours affectionately, M. Freeman Shepherd[2]Letter from Mary Freeman Shepherd to Sarah (Sally) Wesley

Phthinia flagellata Freeman
No full textPhthinia flagellata Freeman P. flagellata Freeman, 1951: 53, figs. 107 (3 terminalia), 276 (wing). Type-locality: Argentina, Río Negro, Lago Nahuel Huapí, eastern end. Holotype 3, NHM. Diagnosis. M 1 + 2 about as long as r-m; CuA with a sigmoid curve close to apex. Gonostyle styliform, apically at the distal part of the gonocoxite. Comments. Freeman (1951: 54) refers to the male terminalia as “with cerci longer than coxites, style simple, coxite bearing a long thin process with a bristle at the end of and a short process at its base”. It seems questionable whether the homology he proposed for these sclerites is correct. In all related species the gonocoxites extends beyond the distal margin of the syngonocoxite and the shape of the gonostyle is variable. It seems likely that the sclerite referred to as the “flagellum” distally (Freeman, 1951, fig. 107) is an elongated, digitiform gonostyle, with an apical seta. For the purposes of identification, however, it can be very easily distinguished from all remaining Neotropical species, mainly for the flagellum-like gonostyle, not seen in the others neotropical species. Apparently the drawing is in ventral view, not dorsal, as originally stated.Published as part of Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2010, The genus Phthinia Winnertz (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) in the Neotropical region, with the first records from Brazil, pp. 22-34 in Zootaxa 2350 on page 31, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19343

Teaching Writing in the Company of Friends: An Oral History with Carol Freeman
No full textIn her thirty-four years of service to the University of California, Santa Cruz, Carol Freeman earned the affection and admiration of students, faculty, staff and administrators for her exceptional teaching skill, administrative acumen and visionary devotion to undergraduate education. She was awarded the UCSC Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1996 and the Dean McHenry Award for Distinguished Leadership in the Academic Senate in 2012. In nominating Freeman for the McHenry honor, the Senate’s Committee on Committees noted that “Senior Lecturer with Security of Employment Emerita Carol Freeman … personifies the ideals of collegial, creative, principled service these awards recognize,” and praised the “persistence, dedication, commitment, and above all, excellence” that characterized every aspect of her multifaceted and “powerfully influential” work for the university.As the founding coordinator and eventually chair of the Campus Writing Program, Freeman shaped it into a vibrant, nationally acclaimed undergraduate writing program with a rich lower- and upper-division curriculum—characterized by a 1985 external review committee as a “campus treasure.” Emphasizing the hiring and retention of a diverse, collegial and dedicated core faculty of lecturers who took part in both pedagogical and administrative aspects of campus writing instruction, she deftly shepherded the program through decades of campus administrative changes and financial challenges—repeatedly inventing constructive responses to potentially devastating setbacks, including a round of budget cuts that wiped out most peer tutoring and almost the entire upper-division curriculum.In this oral history, conducted over the course of three interviews in late October and early November, 2012, Freeman talks about the emergence in the 1970s of new approaches to writing pedagogy that inspired her enthusiasm and shaped her approaches to teaching; about the maturation of the Writing Program’s mission, goals and activities; about the often delicate negotiations, and sometimes gratifying relationships, with academic and administrative colleagues on which the program’s continuing existence relied; and about her commitment to providing sustainable working conditions and professional respectability for university writing teachers.

Phthinia fasciata Freeman
No full textPhthinia fasciata Freeman P. fasciata Freeman, 1951: 54, fig. 109 (3 terminalia). Type-locality: Chile, Llanquihue, Peulla. Holotype 3, NHM. Diagnosis. M 1 and M 2 strongly diverging at base, M 1 + 2 shorter than r-m. Gonostyle with one basal and two apical projections. Comments. The comparison of the new species of Phthinia from Chile described here with Freeman’s (1951) illustration of the male terminalia of his species suggests some mistakes on his drawings and interpretations, as commented above. His drawings of P. fasciata (Freeman, 1951, fig. 109) seem to mistake the distal extension of the gonocoxite with the gonostyle itself. It seems more likely that the gonostyle corresponds to one of the distal furcations of the “style”, the large distal projection being an extension of the gonocoxite, as in the remaining Neotropical species of the genus. The drawing also seems to be in ventral view, despite the indication to the contrary.Published as part of Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2010, The genus Phthinia Winnertz (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) in the Neotropical region, with the first records from Brazil, pp. 22-34 in Zootaxa 2350 on page 32, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19343
