Kirk, Robert Warren
No full textMemorial Statement for Professor Robert Warren Kirk, D.V.M., Ph.D. (1922-2011) who was in general veterinary practice in several states after earning his DVM at Cornell in 1946. He returned to Cornell in 1952 and helped usher in a new age of pet health care at Cornell. In addition to being a superb teacher of veterinary students and postgraduate trainees, Dr. Kirk held a number of College administrative positions including head of the teaching hospital, director of the Small Animal Clinic, and chair of the Clinical Sciences Department. He was a prolific author that included many editions of Current Veterinary Therapy, Small Animal Dermatology, among other books. He was a founding member of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, past president of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology, and recipient of numerous professional awards. At the time of his retirement in 1985, he was one of the most decorated and widely-known small animal veterinarians in the world
Authority and discipline in Aberdeen, 1650-1700
No full textThis study is concerned with aspects of urban society in the
Scottish city of Aberdeen in the second half of the seventeenth
century. The principal aim is to examine the multi-faceted nature
and workings of civic government, of the interlocking hierarchies of
people and institutions which together formed an invisible web of
authority and discipline in the town. The burgh's three main
administrative and judicial bodies - the town council, the kirk
session, and the justice of the peace court - are examined in some

war, plague, and severe economic dislocation; the impact of eight
years of Cromwellian occupation; the demographic and socio-economic
structures of the urban community; aspects of secular and
ecclesiastical politics; the continuing challenge to the established
kirk posed by Catholic recusancy, and the new challenge posed by the
advent of Quakerism in the town; patterns of office-holding and the
characteristics of the urban elite; and poor relief and social
control. The fundamental structures of urban society underwent no
sudden transformation in these years, but neither did they remain
static: far from obscuring the true dynamics of urban society, civic
institutions remained vital social, economic, and political forums
around which the forces of critical change coalesced, whether to be
adopted, adapted, repulsed; or neutralised, but always in such a way
as to shape the very structure and character of life in the town
