    Contribuciones del Zamorano a Latinoamérica en sus Setenta años Simón E. Malo1 Resumen. La contribución más importante del Zamorano a la región ha sido en educación agrícola de Aprender Haciendo. Sus graduados son hoy conocidos por su espirito empresarial. Además, sobresalen como profesores, científicos y en el sector público ha habido cientos de ministros de agricultura. En segundo plano, la institución es conocida por haber traído cientos de especies y variedades superiores de plantas para la industria agrícola. Como antiguo explorador de plantas para el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, Wilson Popenoe tenía la experiencia apropiada para tener la visión de lo que seria importante en el futuro de la región. El mejor ejemplo es quizás la palma africana que con su aceite comestible es hoy un enorme renglón en la exportación de muchos países. Palabras clave: Educación agrícola de Aprender Haciendo, introducción de especies, variedades superiores. Zamorano's Contributions to Latin America in its Seventy Years Abstract. The most significant contribution of Zamorano to the region has been in agricultural education thru learning by doing, and youth professional building, including character formation. Zamorano graduates are today known for their enterprising spirit and passion for doing a job well done. The number of graduates filling key positions in the agricultural industry, teaching and research, as well as the public sector in the region is impressive. The second most important contribution has been the introduction of superior species of plants to the agriculture of the region. As a former plant explorer for the USDA, Wilson Popenoe was ideally qualified for this work based on his experience, contacts, and his vision of what would be important in the future.

MURRAY David Browman has produced an invaluable reference work for prac- titioners of contemporary Americanist archaeology who are interested in documenting the largely unrecognized contribution of generations of women to its development. Meticulous examination of the archaeo- logical literature, especially footnotes and acknowledgments, and the archival records of major universities, museums, field school programs, expeditions, and general anthropological archives reveals a complex story of marginalization and professional invisibility, albeit one that will be surprising neither to feminist scholars nor to female archaeologists.

  • Keeping the Music Alive
    Tulane University Keeping the music alive April 24, 2014 2:00 AM Mary Sparacello [email protected] When famed music producer Bob Ezrin visited New Orleans 30 days after Hurricane Katrina, he had an epiphany. “Wherever we went that music was playing, there was hope,” said Ezrin. “It was clear that the cure ⦠was to keep the music alive.” At a Music Cultures Jam on the uptown campus on Wednesday (April 23), Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, left, and music producer Bob Ezrin join Music Rising at Tulane to announce an innovative musical cultures website. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) Together with U2's The Edge and other music partners, Ezrin founded Music Rising at Tulane University to preserve the musical cultures of the Gulf South. And on Wednesday (April 23), Ezrin was at Tulane to launch an innovative website aimed to do just that. Billed as a Musical Cultures Jam, Wednesday's launch featured numerous New Orleans and Gulf South musicians: Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, drummer Shannon Powell, trombonist Lucien Barbarin, blues musicians Little Freddie King and Mem Shannon, jazz singer Germaine Bazzle and rap group Partners-N-Crime. New Orleans band Cha Wa, whose style mixes Mardi Gras Indian music and the blues, provided a rousing musical opening for the event, accompanied by four young members of the Trombone Shorty Academy. The Edge promoted the site in a video message: “I truly hope that this is only the beginning of an opportunity to provide future generations of students a chance to appreciate the colorful and dynamic musical history of this very special part of the world.” Music Rising at Tulane is housed in the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South and includes an interdisciplinary major through the School of Liberal Arts.

  • Latin American and Caribbean Section
    Latin American and Caribbean Section Southern Historical Association LACS/SHA Newsletter Fall 2012 From the President… Prezados leitores/estimados lectores/chères lecteurs/gentle readers: This fall the Latin America & Caribbean Section (LACS) of the Southern Historical Association embraces Progress. No, we haven’t invented the next big platform for social networking, solved the global economic crisis, explored Mars, or explained dressage at the Olympics (apologies to all who actually know something about horseman/horsewomanship). However, we have put into place a new PayPal payment system that will enable all of us, current members and new, to pay our dues on line with minimal hassle. No thick-necked men sent by Matt Childs will darken your office door asking you for that check you’ve been promising for months. Actually, to say that “we” did this obscures the fact that the very able Theron Corse put in tons of time to make this happen. Many, many thanks to Theron. Looking to the Mobile gathering, I’m impressed by the breadth of the panels on offer in November. Thanks to Sarah Franklin’s hard work and advocacy, LACS will be offering panels on important, broad themes: the U.S. in 20th-century Latin America and the Caribbean; slaving at the edges of empire; the influence of foreigners in Mexico; migrants and immigration; historical writing about Simón Bolívar. Beyond these, there are panels on the Civil War in the U.S. and the Caribbean, on the American South and the Global South, on Civil Rights and Latinos, on Western-Hemispheric perspectives on slavery, and on plantations in imperial borderlands.

  • Doris Zemurray Stone 1909-1994
    Ancient Mesoamerica, 6 (1995), 95-99 Copyright © 1995 Cambridge University Press. Printed in the U.S.A. IN MEMOR1AM DORIS ZEMURRAY STONE 1909-1994 The death of Doris Stone1 shortly before her 85th birthday, on October 21, 1994, marks the end of an era in Central American anthropology. Her interest in the archaeology and ethnology of Honduras began in the 1920s, and her contributions continued unabated until the end of her life. She is best known for her pio- neering studies in the archaeology of Honduras and Costa Rica and for her comprehensive, synthetic volumes on prehispanic Central America, but she also published extensively on the eth- nography and ethnohistory of indigenous Central American peoples. Doris devoted much effort to the welfare of the indig- enous peoples and to the development of local archaeology and museum facilities in Costa Rica, and the extent and diversity of current archaeological research in that country owe much to her efforts. Doris Zemurray Stone was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on November 19, 1909, the daughter of Samuel and Sarah Weinberger Zemurray. Her father was a successful U.S. busi- nessman with ties to Honduras and other countries in Central America. She spent her childhood in New Orleans, in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and later at her family's country estate north of Hammond, Louisiana. She traveled regularly to Honduras, Costa Rica, and Guatemala, and was captivated early on by the land, the people, and the archaeology. She attended Newman School in New Orleans and in 1926 Doris Zemurray Stone in 1981. Photo by Mike Posey.

But the truth is that any career worth pursuing, any endeavor worth undertaking, any dream worth dreaming and any life worth living is defined by the continu- al, lifelong pursuit of learning and knowledge. Second: Make a difference People often hope to get involved with some- thing bigger than themselves to find purpose in life. But often the “something bigger” they are seeking turns out to be something or someone smaller than themselves—a child who has never been loved, an adult who has never learned to read, an elderly person who does not have a home, an ill person who needs to be healed.
