I have to admit that my research has been somewhat slowed down during the last year by the need to devote most of my energies to teaching, but I cannot say that I have not developed some interesting ideas.

  • Faust Afternoon Speech
    1 Drew Gilpin Faust As delivered Commencement Speech Tercentenary Theatre, May 30, 2013 Harvard University, Cambridge, MA It is always a pleasure to greet a sea of alumni on commencement afternoon—even though my role is that of the warm-up act for the feature to come. Today I am especially aware of the treat we have in store as I look out on not a sea, but a veritable ocean of anticipation. But it is my customary assignment and privilege to offer each spring a report to the alumni on the year that is ending. And this was a year that for a number of reasons demands special note. “The world is too much with us ”—the lines of Wordsworth’s well- known poem echoed in my mind as I thought about my remarks today, for the world has intruded on us this year in ways we never would have imagined. The university had not officially closed for a day since 1978. This year it closed three times. Twice it was for cases of extreme weather—first for superstorm Sandy and then for Nemo, the record- breaking February blizzard. The third was of course the day of Boston’s lockdown in aftermath of the tragic Marathon bombings. This was a 2 year that challenged fundamental assumptions about life’s security, stability and predictability. Yet as I reflected on these intrusions from a world so very much with us, I was struck by how we at Harvard are so actively engaged in shaping that world and indeed addressing so many of the most important and trying questions these recent events have posed.

  • Sermon June 7 2020 Bruce Boce
    “The American Creed & Liberal Religion” Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship June 7, 2020 Rev. Bruce Bode, guest speaker Lighting the Chalice Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action-- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. (Prayer of Rabindranath Tagore, from Gitanjali, chapter 35) Readings About the middle of this past week as the social protests in our country and around the world rolled on and even gained momentum, I felt I needed to abandon the sermon theme I had prepared in order to engage the energy of this time. And what I see and feel happening, in broad outline, is an affirmation or re-affirmation of the “American dream,” the “American experiment,” or what Unitarian-Universalist theologian, the Rev. Forrest Church, calls “The American Creed,” which I will talk about in my sermon. This affirmation/re-affirmation is being led by some of those who have been the most shut out from the American dream through ongoing racial prejudice, America’s original sin, but who, nonetheless, still have seen the dream and are pointing the way to it – through anguished, angry, and yet, to me, ultimately, hopeful protests.

Justice is an important area of study because it may help explain social dynamics among individuals living in tightly-knit groups, as well as social interactions among individuals who only occasionally meet. In this paper, we provide an overview of what is currently known about social justice in animals and offer an agenda for further research. We provide working definitions of key terms, outline some central research questions, and explore some of the challenges of studying social justice in animals, as well as the promise of the work we’re pro- posing. Finally, we suggest why continued research into animal cognition and social behavior has significant ethical implications for our treatment of nonhuman animals. Keywords Social justice Á Animals Á Wild justice Á Play Á Prosocial, captive Á Fairness Á Inequity aversion Á Ethics Á Empathy Á Cooperation Á Morality Á Primates Á Canids Á Cognitive ethology In our 2009 book Wild Justice, we argued that animals have the capacity for moral behavior, and not merely the early traces of what was to evolve into morality in humans but full-fledged moral behaviors in their own right.

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • Harvard Law School's Promotional Literature, 1829-1848
    HARVARD LAW SCHOOL’S PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE, 1829-1848 A REFLECTION OF THE IDEALS AND REALITIES OF THE STORY-ASHMUN-GREENLEAF ERA Michael von der Linn† OEL PARKER, CHARLES WARREN, and later scholars attribute Harvard Law School’s renaissance in the years spanning 1829 to 1848 to the endowment provided by Nathan Dane, the sup- J port of President Josiah Quincy, and the contributions of Jo- seph Story, John Hooker Ashmun, and Simon Greenleaf.1 These were indeed the primary reasons for the school’s remarkable growth. Another, which has received little attention, was an aggres- sive promotional campaign initiated by Story in the 1830s.2 This † Michael von der Linn is the manager of the Antiquarian Book Department of The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. 1 The law school’s faculty and staff consisted of two people during this period. Story was the superintendent; Ashmun handled most of the administrative duties. They divided the teaching load fairly evenly. This arrangement continued when Greenleaf joined the faculty after Ashmun’s death in 1833. Asahel Stearns, Story’s predecessor, directed the school from its establishment in 1817 to 1829. He was the sole administrator and primary instructor, but he shared his teaching duties with Isaac Parker, who held a joint appointment with Harvard College. 2 I have found two references. Warren, who provides the quote cited in Footnote 6, devotes a paragraph to this topic. Newmyer, perhaps based on his reading of Warren, mentions it as well. Charles Warren, History of the Harvard Law School 13 GREEN BAG 2D 427 Michael von der Linn was not the first time Harvard issued marketing materials, nor was it the first or only school to use them.3 But the size of Story’s cam- paign was unprecedented.
