This Owas a very important trip, as I was receiving on behalf of the Federation a quite remarkable gift. In 1976 the ballet Tam o’ Shanter was commissioned by the Polish Ministry of Culture, and had its world premiere in the Opera House of Lodz. William Donachie was the librettist and scenic and costume designer for the ballet, and the music composed by Leighton Lucas, a composer with the Royal Academy of Music. The Choreographer was Vassilie Trunoff. Leighton Lucas and Vasillie Trunoff are now deceased and Mr Conachie had in his possession the full musical score, the synopsis and all the designs for costume and decor, together with a model of the set. The designs include a series of pictures which were projected into the scene to illustrate that part of the story – like the chase over the Brig o’ Doon - which could not be performed on stage. This work has now been presented to the Federation by William Donachie, and is indeed a real treasure. We look forward to seeing the ballet in production, hopefully in the not too distant future. Mr Donachie was born in Edinburgh and studied at Edinburgh College of Art. with Post Graduate studies in Paris and Italy. He is a member of the Real Circulo Artistico of Barcelona, and his paintings have been exhibited in Le Salon de Paris, The Royal Scottish Academy, the Society of Scottish Artists and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in London (see examples of William’s sketches on back cover of this issue). Ballet, music and dance has always been the inspiration and artistic motive of William Donachie.

  • The Literary and Historical Origins of the Burns Myth
    , A. M. Kinghorn THE LITERARY AND HISTORICAL ORIGINS OF THE BURNS MYTH ON JANUARY 25, 1959, we arrived at the two hundredth birthday of Robert Burns, whose literary life-span has far exceeded his own modest expectations. In his own time he sought fame as a poet and writer of Scottish songs for reasons partly per­ sonal and partly patriotic, and the story of his brief appearance in the Edinburgh limelight is well-known. In our own age the name of Burns is still a familiar one throughout the civilized world, and his songs have been rendered into more than a score of foreign languages, including Afrikaans, Hebrew, Hindustani and, let it be added, English. We occasionally hear of an unrewarding comparison being made between Burns and Shakespeare, sometimes to the disadvantage of the latter, and making the point that Burns is supreme among the poets as a symbol of national character. In the words of the late Edwin Muir, Burns "is a myth evolved by the popular imagination, a communal poetic creation. He is a Protean figure; we can all shape him to our own likeness, for a myth is endlessly adaptable."1 This is why people all over the world celebrate "Burns Nicht" on January 25 and not "Byron Night" on January 22, "Poe Nite" on January 19 or "Schiller Nacht" (in 1959 another two-hundredth anniversary) on November 10. I think that Burns himself would be surprised to know that his name is still a familiar one, even though the reasons for this survival have generally but a remote connection with poetry as artifact.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

Barnes been told and retold for many years and in many ways. On the palm side of each person’s hands and on the soles of each person’s feet are prominent skin features that single him or her out from everyone else in the world. These fea- tures are present in friction ridge skin which leaves behind impressions of its shapes when it comes into contact with an object. The impressions from the last finger joints are known as fingerprints. Using fingerprints to identify indi- viduals has become commonplace, and that identification role is an invaluable tool worldwide. What some people do not know is that the use of friction ridge skin impressions as a means of identification has been around for thousands of years and has been used in several cultures. Friction ridge skin impressions were used as proof of a person’s identity in China perhaps as early as 300 B.C., in Japan as early as A.D. 702, and in the United States since 1902. 1.2 Ancient History Earthenware estimated to be 6000 years old was discov- ered at an archaeological site in northwest China and found to bear clearly discernible friction ridge impressions.

  • Guide to Finger-Print Identification
    — : GUIDE TO FINGER-PRINT IDENTIFICATION. BY HENRY FAULDS, L.F.P.S., Late Surgeon-Superintendent of Tsukiji Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. " Echo makes a most excellent wife for Pan, as being no other than genuine philosophy, which faithfully repeats his words, or only transcribes exactly as nature dictates; thus representing the true image and reflection of the world without adding a tittle." Lord Bacon. HANLEY Wood, Mitchell & Co, Ltd., Printers and Publishers, Oriel Works, Park Street. 1905. — [ Copyright. Entered at Stationers' Hall.} — PREFACE. • An extraordinary and almost unprecedented discussion has arisen within the last few weeks as to the use of " Finger Clues." The chief occasion for this curious clamour seems to have been the faulty use of this new way of finger-prints in the case of the two brothers Stratton, who were hanged for a double murder at Deptford, known as the "Mask" murders. Mr. James P. Budden, the well-known criminal solicitor, who was for the defence, asked Inspector Collins, " Can you give me the name of any medical or legal authority who takes any notice of this so-called science?"— " I do not know any." [Standard, 26th April, 1905.] In what is headed as " A Strong Letter," Mr. Budden wrote to the Birmingham Gazette and Express (July 12th) " giving some additional details of interest. He says : On this point a remark made by Inspector Collins, of the Scotland Yard Finger- print Department, when I cross-examined him is significant. I asked him whether his finger-print system, of which he appeared in court as an expert, was an exact science.

Variously named as the ‘friendliest city in the world’ and a must visit destination by leading publications like the New York Times, The Guardian and Wanderlust, Glasgow justly earns its reputation as one of the world’s great cities for its outstanding architecture, vibrant cultural environment, lively nightlife, and extensive shopping. As a UNESCO City of Music, Glasgow hosts an average of 130 music events every single week. The music scene spans the spectrum from urban and hip-hop, electronica and indie through to classical and Celtic, in concert and club venues. Glasgow is home to the Scottish National Orchestra, ballet, opera and theatre, as well as several theatre companies. There are substantial art collections held at the Burrell and Kelvingrove museums and it possesses many other fine art galleries and museums. The Scottish press and broadcasting media are based here and the city’s higher and further education establishments have made it a major educational centre. Glaswegians love watching sport as much as participating in it.

    Robert Burns and the University: Information Sheet How to use this sheet This information sheet gives a brief description of Robert Burns’ connection with the University of Glasgow. Enquiries should be directed to the Duty Archivist, see contact details at the bottom of the page. Robert Burns (1759-1796), internationally celebrated and Scotland’s greatest poet, did not attend the University of Glasgow, due to financial circumstances, his father being unsuccessful as a tenant farmer. However, many of his family, friends and patrons, as well as many of the ‘characters’ in his poems did attend the University (date of matriculation given in brackets). Family, Friends & Patrons His eldest son, Robert Burns, junior (1802), the survivor of the first twins of Jean Armour. The brother Thomas Wallace (1741) of his friend, Mrs Dunlop of Dunlop. Patrick Miller (1743), the landlord of his Ellisland Farm. Alexander Hamilton (1756), the brother of his friend Gavin Hamilton.
