  • Chronologically Lewis Joel D
    Chronologically Lewis Joel D. Heck All notes are done in the present tense of the verb for consistency. Start and end dates of term are those officially listed in the Oxford calendar. An email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/26/2008 explains the discrepancies between official term dates and the notes of C. S. Lewis in his diary and letters: “Term officially starts on a Thursday, but then 1st Week (out of 8) starts on the following Sunday (some might say Saturday, but it ought to be Sunday). The week in which the start of term falls is known now as „0th Week‟. I don‟t know how far back that name goes, but I‟d be surprised if it wasn‟t known in Lewis‟s day. The system at the start of term which I knew in the 1980s - and which I guess was there in Lewis‟s time too - was that the undergraduates had to be in residence by the Thursday of 0th Week; the Friday was set aside for start of term Collections (like the ones memorably described in Lewis‟s diary at Univ.!), and for meetings with one‟s tutors. Then after the weekend lectures and tutorials started in earnest on the Monday of 1st Week.” Email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/27/2008: “The two starts to the Oxford term actually have names. There‟s the start of term, in midweek, and then the start of „Full Term‟, on the Sunday - and is always Sunday. Lectures and tutorials start up on the following day.

  • CC Nov Dec 2018.Spub
    November/December 2018 CAMPHILL CORRESPONDENCE “Rose“ circa 1947 by Shirley Seagren Schwartz (1929-2007) Let us move now from the practical how to the theoretical why: Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says, "love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies—or else? The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. By Martin Luther King.

    UNDERSTANDING YOUNG CmLDREN EXCERPTS FROM LECTURES BY RUDOLF STEINER COMPILED FOR TIlE USE OF KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS Published by the International Association of Waldorfkindergartens, Stuttgart, 1975 Reprinted 1994 by the Waldorf Kindergarten Association of North America, Inc. Copies available from the Waldorf Kindergarten Association 1359 Alderton Lane SHver Spring, MD 20906 (301) 460-6287 Permission to duplicate these excerpts has been given by: The Rudolf Steiner NachlaBverwaltung, the Library of the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain and the Rudolf Steiner Press, London INTRODUCTION 1bB book is meant to be a help for those working in Kindergartens founded on the educational prila;iples of Rudolf Steiner. All the parents of little children, students and friends of Waldorf Education who are interested in a deeper understanding of child development will find in this book guide lines for The Study oj Man. It was Elizabeth Grunelius who first suggested compiling the following excerpts from Rudolf Steiner's books and lectures. Already in the early twenties she asked Rudolf Steiner for suggestions on pre-school education, and founded the very first Waldorf Kindergarten in Stuttgart. We are happy to publish this collection in time for the 50th anniversary of Waldorf education in England. It is advisable to read the quoted passages in the context of the whole lecture. Unfortunately some of Rudolf Steiner's lectures on education have not yet been translated. The books and lectures we quote have all been translated into English. Other books about the education of the child are: • Francis Edmunds, Rudolf Steiner Education: The Waldorf Schools, Rudolf Steiner College Press and Rudolf Steiner Press.

  • Bibliography of the Published Writings of Owen Barfield
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PUBLISHED WRITINGS OF OWEN BARFIELD 1917 - 2019 COMPILED BY JANE W. HIPOLITO Acknowledgments: Owen Barfield was an astonishingly prolific author. His earliest publication appeared in 1917; the most recent listing in this bibliography is 2019. Barfield wrote on a wide variety of topics in very diverse venues, several of which do not appear in any publication indexes, databases, or other bibliographic resources. Accordingly, discovering what the published writings of Owen Barfield are, as well as tracking down and confirming the publication details, has been a complex process lasting more than a quarter of a century, throughout which I have needed and received much help. There are many people to thank for the 2019 Barfield Bibliography. G. B. Tennyson warmly invited me to undertake this project in 1980. Many of Barfield’s published writings are listed in the pioneering bibliography which Professor Tennyson compiled for the 1976 Festschrift in Barfield’s honor, Evolution of Consciousness: Studies in Polarity. I am deeply grateful for Professor Tennyson’s trust in me, and for his 1976 bibliography, which has been a major resource for Barfieldian studies. Owen Barfield immediately supported Professor Tennyson’s invitation and provided substantial help, opening up his own files and personally introducing me to the staff of Rudolf Steiner House in London, which holds copies of numerous hard-to-find Barfield publications. From the outset, Thomas Kranidas also has been inexhaustibly helpful and encouraging; I am much indebted to Professor Kranidas for his astute advice and generosity, especially concerning Barfield’s little-known imaginative writings. A great many librarians contributed to the compiling of this bibliography.
