LIFETIME RECOLLECTIONS by Alexander N. Charters Edited Transcripts of Tape Recorded Recollections Lyndsey B. Schemm, Editor LIFETIME RECOLLECTIONS Alexander N. Charters Dean of University College 1952-1964 AIEA # 18 A publication of Syracuse University Publications in Continuing Education (SUPCE) This document is available electronically at: http://www.suce.syr.edu/Community/aiea/resources.htm AIEA Dean, University College 700 University Ave. Syracuse, NY 13244 2010 Preface Many decades ago my colleagues and friends, including my wife Margaret, told me I should record some of my experiences before coming to Syracuse and University College. One day I sat down and dictated some recollections entirely from memory. Then over the years I would pick up the recorder and talk without notes, from memory, and recall some of my experiences as they occurred to me. Then over more years I would pick up the recorder and dictate a few more. These recollections were without any chronological or other order. They were simply as they occurred to me. From time to time Jane Frost, my loyal and efficient secretary, transcribed some of the tapes. Then Linda Pitonzo, who so kindly and effectively assisted me to continue functioning in the field of adult and continuing education after my retirement, also assisted in the transcribing. Scott Shablak, who became Director of the Office of Professional Research and Development at the University, provided leadership in the field of adult education at Syracuse University. Scott thought that a copy of my recollections might be of interest to my family, friends and colleagues. He arranged for the transcription, editing, and publication of these volumes. Michelle Mondo completed the transcribing and Lyndsey Schemm did a stellar editing job that ran from Google search for distant sites to line edits of lengthy monologues. Although I did not reread the entire piece myself before editing, good colleagues Scott, and Mary T Welker, helped craft the final piece, and encouraged me throughout the process. Please note that I have not yet recorded any personal experiences that directly focus on my encouraging, supportive, loving family, particularly my wife Margaret, my sister, and my mom and dad.

  • Death, Travel and Pocahontas the Imagery on Neil Young's Album
    Hugvísindasvið Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson September 2008 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskuskor Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson Kt.: 260180-2909 Leiðbeinandi: Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson September 2008 Abstract The following essay, “Death, Travel and Pocahontas,” seeks to interpret the imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps. The album was released in July 1979 and with it Young was venturing into a dialogue of folk music and rock music. On side one of the album the sound is acoustic and simple, reminiscent of the folk genre whereas on side two Young is accompanied by his band, The Crazy Horse, and the sound is electric, reminiscent of the rock genre. By doing this, Young is establishing the music and questions of genre and the interconnectivity between folk music and rock music as one of the theme’s of the album. Young explores these ideas even further in the imagery of the lyrics on the album by using popular culture icons. The title of the album alone symbolizes the idea of both death and mortality, declaring that originality is transitory. Furthermore he uses recurring images, such as death, to portray his criticism on the music business and lack of originality in contemporary musicians. Ideas of artistic freedom are portrayed through images such as nature and travel using both ships and road to symbolize the importance of re-invention.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

  • BARBARA MORGAN: INNER DIALOGUES We Hope to Show How the Creative Process Applies to More Than What Appears with the EXTERNAL WORLD in Museums, Libraries, and Theatres
    QUADRILLE VOL 5 NO 4 BENNINGTON COLLEGE ACTING EDITOR: Leslie Ullman MANAGING EDITOR: Joanna Clark Swayze '70 ALUMNI EDITOR: Catherine Cumpston, Alumni Director "In the self is housed.. a "EQUALIZING THE PRESSURES FROM WITHOUT" 2 place of stability In an unstable world." Excerpts from the Commencement Address by Anais Nin QUADRILLE is published four times a year by the Development Office at Bennington College. It is designed to reflect the views and opinions of students, faculty, administration, alumni, trustees, parents of students, and friends of the College. The editors of QUADRILLE invite articles, statements, opinion and comment, letters to the editor, photographs, graphics, and reviews from members of all the constituencies. FINDING A VOICE THROUGH MOVEMENT EDITOR'S NOTE An Interview with five Dance Majors To create is to make a kind of leap. What one can be fairly sure of is a point of beginning and a point of ending; in between, there may be a succession of starts and stops. and elements of risk, insight, frustration and discipline whose action can be defined only in retrospect. Having completed one, two, twenty works, a person is never quite sure of having a formula to create another. It is partially this uncertainty, we are sometimes told by paternal, aging artists with healthy portfolios and closets full of notebooks, that makes people keep creating. BARBARA MORGAN: INNER DIALOGUES We hope to show how the creative process applies to more than what appears WITH THE EXTERNAL WORLD in museums, libraries, and theatres. How it is part of what makes people get up, go somewhere, behave a certain way.
