Henry Adams, Jr. letter to father, February 5, 1952
No full textThis letter was written by Henry Adams Jr. to his father, Henry Adams, expressing his feelings and experiences during his time in the army. Junior, as he was called in the family, had been posted to Alaska after his basic Army training, and assigned to an otherwise all-white company.
In this three-page letter written on decorative notepaper, Junior writes about his army experiences, and says that he feels like Jackie Robinson, a test case for integrated units in the military. The United States Army was not integrated during World War II; African Americans and whites served in separate units.

Developing a comprehensive conservation and management plan for the Palazzo Imperiale at Ostia Antica, Italy
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to outline the steps necessary for the development of a comprehensive conservation and management plan for the building known as the Palazzo Imperiale at Ostia Antica in Italy, utilizing a combination of the APPEAR method developed by Warnotte et al, and the values-based approach put forth by Demas. The current condition of the Palazzo is in a deteriorating state, and intervention will be necessary soon if the proposed plan is to be cost effective. Assessing the condition of the structure, its decorative elements (mosaics), its place within the Ostia Archaeological Park, and its future sustainable management will all be considered as components to a successful intervention at this site.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Todd E.

Charles H. Adams letter to Anna Pemberton, April 18, 1904
No full textShort note from a librarian, archivist, historian or records administrator Charles H. Adams, stationed at the Adams Building in Boston, Massachusetts, in response to an inquiry from Ms. Anna Pemberton -- working on a "Life" (or biography) of Benjamin Lundy -- as to whether the collection contains correspondence between Lundy and John Quincy Adams. Charles Adams responds to Pemberton, informing her that an investigation has been undertaken, and, 33 letters are available for her research between Lundy and John Quincy Adams. Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico
The Todd character and cohomology operations
No full textAbstractIn “On the Conflict of Bordism of Finite Complexes” [J. Differential Geometry], Conner and Smith introduced a homomorphism called the Todd character, relating complex bordism theory to rational homology. Specifically the Todd character consists of a family of homomorphisms thr: MUs(X) → Hs→r(X;Q).In L. Smith, The Todd character and the integrality theorem for the Chern character, Ill. J. Math. it was shown (note that the indexing of the Todd character is somewhat different here) that there was an integrality theorem for th analogous to the Adams integrality theorem for the Chern character J. F. Adams, On the Chern character and the structure of the unitary group, Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.57 (1961), 189–199; On the Chern character revisted, Ill. J. Math. Now Adams' first paper contains a wealth of information about the Chern character in addition to the integrality theorem already mentioned. Our objective in the present note is to derive analogous results for the Todd character. As in Smith these may then be used to deduce the results of Adams for the Chern character
