Interview with Terry C. Plumb - OH 230
No full textThis interview was conducted for the as part of the Winthrop History Project spearheaded by Winthrop President Emeritus Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio and Rebecca Masters to “document the 24-year path of the original Winthrop College to becoming Winthrop University.” This effort was to produce a history of the institution and Dr. DiGiorgio’s tenure as president as a supplement to Dr. Ross Webb’s history of Winthrop (The Torch is Passed) that covered Winthrop history up to Dr. DiGiorgio becoming president. A key aspect of the project was a series of audio-taped interviews conducted with various members of the extended Winthrop community who participated in or helped guide the advancement of Winthrop over these years. That way, the Winthrop story will be told in an array of participants’ own words, own voices and from their own perspectives.
This interview is with Terry C. Plumb. Terry was a former editor of the Rock Hill, SC newspaper, The Herald from 1987 through 2007. He also participated in a number of community organizations which also overlapped from time to time with Winthrop initiatives. In this interview he discusses his and The Herald’s coverage of Winthrop and of Winthrop President, Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio in particular. He also talks about his experiences and impressions working with Dr. DiGiorgio.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/oralhistoryprogram/1717/thumbnail.jp
"Disney is the Tiffany’s and I am the Woolworth's of the business": A critical re-analysis of the business philosophies, production values and studio practices of animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry has been portrayed as having little passion for the animation he produced and being more concerned with making a profit than producing entertaining cartoons with high production values. The purpose of the dissertation is to re-evaluate Terry‘s legacy to animated cartooning by analyzing his business philosophies, production values, and studio practices.
Application of four psychodynamic factors to the early life and career of Terry, 1887-1929, found that his economic decision making was characterized by: an external locus of control, risk-averse financial behaviour, extreme saving behaviour through precaution, and shrewd money management practices. Based on Terry‘s historical responses to twelve major economic, technological, or institutional forces of change for the period 1929-1955, the psychodynamic factors were found to provide accurate explanations for his studio practices and production decisions.
There was no evidence to support the conclusion that three early career disappointments undermined Terry‘s intrinsic motivation to create animated cartoons. Rather, Terry‘s lack of risk taking, external locus of control, tight studio production schedule, desire to compete with neighbour studio Fleischer, difficulty in separating financial rewards from creative processes in animation, and practice of undertaking surveillance measures on staff may have undermined his and his studio‘s creativity. Archival research found Terry to possess strong passions for and to have made significant creative contributions to the field of animation.
Biographical research found that Terry retained a stable nucleus of highly talented artists who dedicated a significant portion of their working careers to the studio. An analysis of the cel aesthetics of a random sample of animated cartoons produced during the years 1930-1955 found that Terry created animated cartoons with above average cel aesthetics when compared to the other studios thereby supporting an inference that Terry was motivated to producing quality crafted animation. Further research is suggested into the role psychodynamic factors and economic decision-making play in the film production process and a clarification of Terry‘s legacy to the field of animated cartoons
Accounting for Individual Differences in Bradley-Terry Models by Means of Recursive Partitioning
No full textThe preference scaling of a group of subjects may not be homogeneous, but different
groups of subjects with certain characteristics may show different preference scalings,
each of which can be derived from paired comparisons by means of the Bradley-Terry model.
Usually, either different models are fit in predefined subsets of the
sample, or the effects of subject covariates are explicitly specified in a parametric
model. In both cases, categorical covariates can be employed directly to distinguish
between the different groups, while numeric covariates are typically discretized
prior to modeling.
Here, a semi-parametric approach for recursive partitioning of Bradley-Terry models is
introduced as a means for identifying groups of subjects with homogeneous preference scalings
in a data-driven way. In this approach, the covariates that -- in main effects or
interactions -- distinguish between groups of subjects with different preference
orderings, are detected automatically from the set of candidate covariates. One main
advantage of this approach is that sensible partitions in numeric covariates are
also detected automatically
