Perspectives on the History of Higher Education Volume 26 2007

Perspectives on the History of Higher Education Volume 26 2007

This volume of Perspectives opens with two contrasting perspectives on the purpose of higher education at the dawning of the university age-perspectives that continue to define the debate today. First A. J. Angulo recreates the controversy surrounding the founding and early years of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Whether presented as an alternative to or a repudiation of the prevailing classical liberal education MIT was rejected as inherently inferior by college defenders. Second is George Levesque's penetrating reappraisal of Yale president Noah Porter (1870-1886). Known almost solely for his role as a college defender Porter is revealed as a vigorous scholar who became fixated with preserving the strengths of Yale College. As these matters were vigorously debated during these years Porter's position was superseded by more powerful forces. Considering the cliches about liberal domination of higher education it is seldom appreciated that the conservative movement has had a presence on campus throughout the postwar era. Jennifer de Forrest uses the reorganization of several conservative foundations to offer a critical appraisal of their impact. Known as the four sisters the Bradley Foundation the Scaife Foundations the Smith Richardson Foundation and the Olin Foundation have been sharply focused on winning student support by funding conservative scholars and networking organizations as well as student groups and newspapers. The tempestuous state of academic publishing is made more vivid by the clash of colorful characters. At the dawn of modern academic publishing the Educational Review published by Columbia's Nicholas Murray Butler was the foremost journal in its field. Paul McInerny interweaves the history of this journal with the educational issues of the late nineteenth century and the remarkable career of Columbia's longtime president. An additional actor is James McKeen Cattell a noted psychologist and prolific academic publisher. As a Columbia professor Cattell was also a thorn in the side of President Butler. In 1917 Butler fired Cattell for criticizing the war effort an egregious breach of academic freedom even for those early times. Events took an ironic turn however when Cattell later acquired Butler's former Review. | Perspectives on the History of Higher Education Volume 26 2007

Bryozoan Studies 2022 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH INTERNATIONAL BRYOZOOLOGY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (DUBLIN IRELAND 22-26 AUGUST 2022)

Bryozoan Studies 2022 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH INTERNATIONAL BRYOZOOLOGY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (DUBLIN IRELAND 22-26 AUGUST 2022)

Bryozoan Studies 2022 contains nineteen papers presented at the 19th International Conference of the International Bryozoology Association held at Trinity College Dublin in August 2022. Bryozoans are complex and fascinating colonial organisms that range from Cambrian to the present day and which are found in marine and freshwater environments from pole to pole and subtidal to abyssal. Recent tomographic techniques have revolutionised the study of modern and fossil taxa where internal structures are revealed through non-destructive methodologies. Here the internal structure of some Ordovician and Eocene taxa is illustrated through these methods. Phylogenetic studies of bryozoans question the classic classification of the group; here the phylogeny of species from California and Japan is described. Other topics covered are assessments of Recent faunas from Haiti and fossil assemblages from Mexico and the United States. Distributional patterns from the Arctic and New Zealand and the dispersal patterns of bryozoans on rafted pumice and on slipper lobsters are characterised. Further contributions provide descriptions of a rare Permian taxon clarification of species assigned to the Upper Palaeozoic genus Stenopora avicularia in Wilbertopora enigmatic structures in a fenestrate bryozoan repair structures in trepostomes and an assessment of skeletonisation in the families of Palaeozoic orders. | Bryozoan Studies 2022 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH INTERNATIONAL BRYOZOOLOGY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (DUBLIN IRELAND 22-26 AUGUST 2022)

Ethnomusicology of the Flathead Indians

Ethnomusicology of the Flathead Indians

All people in no matter what culture must be able to place their music firmly in the context of the totality of their beliefs experiences and activities for without such ties music cannot exist. This means that there must be a body of theory connected with any music system - not necessarily a theory of the structure of music sound although that may be present as well but rather a theory of what music is what it does and how it is coordinated with the total environment both natural and cultural in which human beings move. The Flathead Indians of Western Montana (just over 26 000 in number as of the 2000 census) inhabit a reservation consisting of 632 516 acres of land in the Jocko and Flathead Valleys and the Camas Prairie country which lie roughly between Evaro and Kalispell Montana. The reservation is bounded on the east by the Mission Range on the west by the Cabinet National Forest on the south by the Lolo National Forest and on the north by an arbitrary line approximately bisecting Flathead Lake about twenty-four miles south of Kalispell. The area is one of the richest agricultural regions in Montana and fish and game are abundant. The Flathead are engaged in stocking timbering and various agricultural enterprises. For the Flathead the most important single fact about music and its relationship to the total world is its origin in the supernatural sphere. All true and proper songs particularly in the past owe their origin to a variety of contacts experienced by humans with beings which though a part of this world are superhuman and the source of both individual and tribal powers and skills. Thus a sharp distinction is drawn by the Flathead between what they call make-up and all other songs. Merriam's pioneering work in the relationship of ethnography and musicology remains a primary source in this field in anthropology. | Ethnomusicology of the Flathead Indians
