    IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James M. Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M. Donahue Carnegie, Wilfred Monod, Prince Max von Baden and Lord Robert Cecil.

  • Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy
    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler’s 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy’s fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today’s new and old democracies under siege. Daniel Ziblatt is Professor of Government at Harvard University where he is also a resident fellow of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also currently Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. His first book, Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy and Germany and the Puzzle of Federalism (2006) received several prizes from the American Political Science Association. He has written extensively on the emergence of democracy in European political history, publishing in journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic History, and World Politics.

  • A-Level Preparation Courses 1 from Strathallan Worldwide, Strathallan School, Scotland Introduction
    A-Level Preparation Courses 1 From Strathallan Worldwide, Strathallan School, Scotland Introduction Our promise: to know your child as an individual Building on the outstanding success of our Strathallan based A-Level preparation programme – the International Studies Programme or ‘ISP’, now in its third year providing in-school A-Level preparation courses, we are excited to announce a part-time online version for students based overseas: Strathallan Worldwide A-Level Preparation Courses or ‘APCs’. Strathallan School averages 80% A*-B at A-Level and is the winner of the 2020 Independent School of the Year award for International Experience - an award based on knowing our students as individuals. During lockdown in 2020 we delivered over 7000 live lessons online to our students at home and abroad. Our special care of our international students, combined with considerable success through the challenging lockdown period, has led us to the conclusion that we can offer a top-rate UK independent school experience to students who are planning to come to the UK to study key A-Levels in the Sixth Form. Virtual APCs Strathallan Worldwide A-Level Preparation Courses (APCs) enable students to prepare for studying A-Levels in the UK whilst continuing with face-to-face lessons in their schools at home. Students taking APCs will receive live teaching during the evenings in their chosen A-Level subjects along with additional English language support lessons and the help and advice of a personal tutor. Advantages of an APC The number one reason why international students fail to get good grades at A Level is that they have poor English skills - Strathallan Worldwide APCs will directly address this issue.

Born and raised in Scotland, he received his MA in 1939 from the University of St. Andrews. In 1940 the British government sent Elliot to India, where he spent six years in the Punjab region working for the Indian Civil Service. In 1947, Elliot entered Harvard University, where he received an AM in 1948 and a PhD in 1951; later, in 1956, he also received an MA from Oxford University, where he studied international organizational law. The interview begins with Elliot discussing his early years in Scotland, the outbreak of World War II, meeting his future wife Nancy, and his experiences in India. He then goes on to discuss his decision to settle in the U.S., and more http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Elliot_D specifically his arrival in California in 1950. His recollections of the 1950s and 1960s at Caltech include descriptions of the makeup and character of the campus and the students; the humanities division under the chairmanship of Hallett Smith; and later, with the addition of the social sciences to the division, the gradual shift in emphasis from teaching and survey courses to research and specialization, which took place under the helm of Robert Huttenback.

    Community Profile Glenfarg Perth and Kinross Revised September 2013 1 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Population 5 Deprivation levels 6 Employment, Economy, Enterprise 6/7/8/9 Education & Learning 10/11/12 Health 13 Environment 14 Housing 15 Transport & Communications 15 Community Facilities 16/17 Representation 18 Conclusion 19 Appendices - Maps 2 1. INTRODUCTION The area covered by this Community profile has been determined by the area of benefit for the Lochelbank Windfarm Community Benefit Fund. It is defined by the boundary of the area represented by the community council of Glenfarg and lies within the Perth and Kinross Council area in Central Scotland. The area is delineated. GLENFARG The villages of Glenfarg and Duncrievie sit in the Ochill Hills 10 miles South of Perth City. Until 1890 the main settlement in the area was the hamlet of Damhead. In that year the North British Railway opened a line to Perth to coincide with the completion of the Forth Rail Bridge. Glenfarg Station was built to serve this upland area of the Parish of Arngask. The settlement that grew up around it became equally rapidly known as Glenfarg. Glenfarg thrived as a resort with up to four hotels at its peak. Some of the village's more prominent buildings reflect the wealth at that time including what used to be the Arngask Library, built in 1892, the Village Hall previously the village school and Arngask Parish Church built in 1906. The railway closed in 1964, part of its track then being used for the M90 motorway which now passes mere yards to the east of the edge of the village, but without any direct junction to the village.
