University of Vermont J The University is located at Burlington, Vermont, overlooking an at­ tractive tree-shaded city situated on the shores of Lake Champlain. J Burlington, the largest city in the State, with a population of 40,000, is 95 miles from Montreal, 230 miles from Boston, and 300 miles from New York City. The city has daily plane and bus service to these points. J Chartered in 1791, the University is the twentieth oldest institution of higher learning in the United States authorized to grant degrees and the second institution founded by state legislative action to offer instruction at the university level. J Although its legal title is The University of Vermont and State Agri­ cultural College, the University is known to its students and alumni as UVM. This popular abbreviation is derived from the Latin Universitas Viridis Montis. 5 Within the nine divisions of the University, instruction is offered in more than fifty programs leading to twenty-five different degrees. J The University is accredited by the following associations: The New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education National Association of Schools of Music The American Medical Association The American Dental Association National League for Nursing The Engineers Council for Professional Development The American Chemical Society iii The Philosophy and Objectives of \ The University of Vermont1 vW Today, more than ever before, higher education is in ' need of a basic philosophy—one which will clarify its purposes and goals, and which, at the same time, will protect it from any loss of its essential characteristics. It is important to note well that a university, the home of higher education, is not a barometer of public opinion, and that it cannot conceivably bend to meet every demand of society if it is to carry out effectively its major responsibilities to scholar­ ship and learning. A university must be committed to scholarship, it must be dedicated to education in the very highest branches of learning, and it must aspire to the supreme level of excellence. If, in the constantly changing environment of modern civilization, a university finds itself in the role of a service agency, ready to meet every demand that society may make upon it, then there is real danger that the vital purposes and goals of higher education may be lost. If the danger is recognized and guarded against, however, the integrity of our educational program will not be jeopardized. What, then, is the basic purpose of the University of Vermont—what is its philosophy of education? Basically, the University is an institution dedicated to pure learning in the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. Our re­ sponsibility is that of creating a community of scholars, both old and young; of providing an atmosphere for the discovery, exchange, and transmission of ideas; and of furnishing continuing generations with the intellectual means for leading full and purposeful lives. Institutional Goals Quite naturally there is a diversity of goals among American insti­ tutions of higher education, and inevitably there are differences in the goals of public and private institutions. As a publicly supported insti­ tution, the University has accepted the responsibility of providing an educational opportunity for all qualified men and women residing in the State of Vermont. I. Cited from the President's Report, 1960. iv The University continues to meet this responsibility at the same time that it is able to enhance the educational opportunity afforded Ver- monters by the admission of students coming from many large and small communities outside Vermont's borders. This tradition, not en­ joyed by many state universities, not only provides a heterogeneity of background and experience for all students, but also makes possible a breadth and depth of academic offerings which the University of Ver­ mont otherwise might not be able to provide for Vermonters alone. Thus our institutional goals are ... ...to provide a liberal education through individual capacity for the making of intelligent decisions. Such an education becomes meaningful with a knowledge of our historical heritage; it becomes operational through the use of all disciplines, including mathematics and science; and it becomes influential through the art of effective communication ... to extend an opportunity for the development of a cultural life by virtue of the arts and the formulation of philosophical and moral values ...to provide skill training in preparation for specific professions and careers ... to create an atmosphere conducive to research and scholarship through the development of programs which will implement both undergraduate and graduate education ...to develop graduate programs leading to the master's and doctor's degree in areas supported by faculty, laboratory, and library facilities as a means of specialization and of complementing desired research and study in selected fields ...to carry on a program of adult education through the Evening Division, off-campus activities, cooperative extension, and modern com­ munication media ...to provide services to state and local government where University personnel, data, or organization are particularly adaptable to a public need which otherwise may not be filled. Institutional Means Clearly, our institutional goals cannot be achieved without a faculty of distinction aided by an administration which recognizes that its obligation is both to provide the facilities and to help create the con­ ditions in which the faculty and students can pursue their educational responsibilities. One of the most important of the University's means to the desired end is the development of an undergraduate curriculum which provides a liberal education in every professional program. This is not to say that every student should matriculate in the College of Arts and Sciences. It does mean that the professional and vocational must not crowd out a liberal education simply because the subject matter of each professional field is increasing. It is impossible today to teach everything there is to know in the professions, whether in medicine, law, engineer­ ing, business, or agriculture. For this reason it is important that we con­ tinually review the curriculum to reevaluate, modify, and consolidate the fundamentals of professional education so that the teaching of effective communication—mathematics, history, science, and the arts— retains its central importance. Facilitating this is the emphasis placed upon individual excellence, wherein the gifted student may advance more rapidly through small seminars, conferences, individual research assignments, the use of original sources, and student advisory services. Further means include a constant reviewing of admissions require­ ments to insure an educational opportunity to those applicants who will receive the greatest benefit from a college education; a fostering of re­ search projects which are related to the teaching program and to our established institutional goals, providing opportunity for research in the social sciences and the humanities as well as in the natural sciences; the development of a full graduate program as rapidly as resources permit; and finally, a sustained plan of university self study to provide a con­ tinuing evaluation of achievement and a basis for the consideration of new techniques and methods. Basic to these means, of course, and a resource without which the insti­ tution ceases to be a university, is the library. To make our philosophy of education meaningful, to make our goals realizable, and to make our other means workable, a truly fine library is indispensable. The University's philosophy of education, then, is to create a com­ munity of scholars and provide facilities and an environment for full educational development. Our goals are to ensure the undergraduate a well-rounded academic background, regardless of the field of concen­ tration; to offer sound graduate programs at the master's and doctor's levels; to pursue a program of continuing adult education; and to pro­ vide the State and community with professional and cultural services. vi CORRESPONDENCE Admissions Requests for a catalogue, or information concerning admission policies and procedures, rooms and tuition Director of Admissions Undergraduate Colleges Dean of the College College of Medicine Dean of the College of Medicine Graduate College Dean of the Graduate College Evening Division Director of the Evening Division Summer Session Dean of the Summer Session Conferences and Institutes Director of Conferences and Institutes Transcripts of Records Registrar Student Personnel Dean of Students Scholarships and Loans Director of Financial Aid Employment of Seniors and Alumni Director

  • Alvar Aalto's Associative Geometries
    Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminar – Why Aalto? 9-10 June 2017, Jyväskylä, Finland Alvar Aalto’s associative geometries Holger Hoffmann Prof. Dipl.-Ing., Architekt BDA Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design Why Aalto?, 3rd Alvar Aalto Researchers Network Seminar, Jyväskylä 2017 Prof. Holger Hoffmann, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, April 30th, 2017 Paper Proposal ALVAR AALTO‘S ASSOCIATIVE GEOMETRIES This paper, written from a practitioner’s point of view, aims at describing Alvar Aalto’s use of associative geometries as an inspiration for contemporary computational design techniques and his potential influence on a place-specific version of today’s digital modernism. In architecture the introduction of digital design and communication techniques during the 1990s has established a global discourse on complexity and the relation between the universal and the specific. And however the great potential of computer technology lies in the differentiation and specification of architectural solutions, ‘place’ and especially ‘place-form’ has not been of greatest interest since. Therefore I will try to build a narrative that describes the possibilities of Aalto’s “elastic standardization” as a method of well-structured differentiation in relation to historical and contemporary methods of constructing complexity. I will then use a brief geometrical analysis of Aalto’s “Neue Vahr”-building to hint at a potential relation of his work to the concept of ‘difference and repetition’ that is one of the cornerstones of contemporary ‘parametric design’. With the help of two projects (one academic, one professional) I will furthermore try to show the capability of such an approach to open the merely generic formal vocabulary of so-called “parametricism” to contextual or regional necessities in a ‘beyond-digital’ way.

  • Booker Little
    1 The TRUMPET of BOOKER LITTLE Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Feb. 11, 2020 2 Born: Memphis, April 2, 1938 Died: NYC. Oct. 5, 1961 Introduction: You may not believe this, but the vintage Oslo Jazz Circle, firmly founded on the swinging thirties, was very interested in the modern trends represented by Eric Dolphy and through him, was introduced to the magnificent trumpet playing by the young Booker Little. Even those sceptical in the beginning gave in and agreed that here was something very special. History: Born into a musical family and played clarinet for a few months before taking up the trumpet at the age of 12; he took part in jam sessions with Phineas Newborn while still in his teens. Graduated from Manassas High School. While attending the Chicago Conservatory (1956-58) he played with Johnny Griffin and Walter Perkins’s group MJT+3; he then played with Max Roach (June 1958 to February 1959), worked as a freelancer in New York with, among others, Mal Waldron, and from February 1960 worked again with Roach. With Eric Dolphy he took part in the recording of John Coltrane’s album “Africa Brass” (1961) and led a quintet at the Five Spot in New York in July 1961. Booker Little’s playing was characterized by an open, gentle tone, a breathy attack on individual notes, a nd a subtle vibrato. His soli had the brisk tempi, wide range, and clean lines of hard bop, but he also enlarged his musical vocabulary by making sophisticated use of dissonance, which, especially in his collaborations with Dolphy, brought his playing close to free jazz.

  • Victory and Sorrow: the Music & Life of Booker Little
    ii VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSIC & LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE by DYLAN LAGAMMA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History & Research written under the direction of Henry Martin and approved by _________________________ _________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 i ©2017 Dylan LaGamma ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSICAL LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE BY DYLAN LAGAMMA Dissertation Director: Henry Martin Booker Little, a masterful trumpeter and composer, passed away in 1961 at the age of twenty-three. Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

    RECENT PUBLICATIONS John Wilhelm Rowntree 1868-1905 and the beginnings of modern Quakerism. By Stephen Allott. Sessions Book Trust, York, 1994. Pp. xiv + 138. £7.00. Stephen Allott's concise and appealing account of John Wilhelm Rowntree makes very considerable use of quotations. It is well-illustrated. Rowntree was one of the most influential Friends of his day and made a great contribution to the Society despite his involvement in business, his chronic ill-health and his sadly early death at the age of 36. Allott provides a valuable addition to the studies of British Quakerism in the crucial period around the beginning of this century. It is timely background to the consideration of the impact of the Manchester conference of 1895. Rowntree will now be known to Friends not so much as a pioneer in writing Quaker history as for being part of it. He had hoped to make a major new historical study and gathered a collection of Quaker literature in preparation for this, later to pass to the Woodbrooke Library. His lectures on the rise of Quakerism in Yorkshire in his Essays and Addresses form his main published historical contribution. They went beyond narrative to exhortation and explained his vision for the Society of Friends. History for him was not a matter of satisfying academic curiosity but of tracing the evolution of contemporary Quakerism and explaining the relevance of the past to the questions of the day. The Rowntree series of Quaker histories built on his vision, effectively as his memorial. His deep friendship with Rufus Jones led to Jones's major contribution to the series alongside W.C.

  • Heavenly Priesthood in the Apocalypse of Abraham
    HEAVENLY PRIESTHOOD IN THE APOCALYPSE OF ABRAHAM The Apocalypse of Abraham is a vital source for understanding both Jewish apocalypticism and mysticism. Written anonymously soon after the destruction of the Second Jerusalem Temple, the text envisions heaven as the true place of worship and depicts Abraham as an initiate of the celestial priesthood. Andrei A. Orlov focuses on the central rite of the Abraham story – the scapegoat ritual that receives a striking eschatological reinterpretation in the text. He demonstrates that the development of the sacerdotal traditions in the Apocalypse of Abraham, along with a cluster of Jewish mystical motifs, represents an important transition from Jewish apocalypticism to the symbols of early Jewish mysticism. In this way, Orlov offers unique insight into the complex world of the Jewish sacerdotal debates in the early centuries of the Common Era. The book will be of interest to scholars of early Judaism and Christianity, Old Testament studies, and Jewish mysticism and magic. ANDREI A. ORLOV is Professor of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity at Marquette University. His recent publications include Divine Manifestations in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2009), Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2009), Concealed Writings: Jewish Mysticism in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2011), and Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology (2011).

    189_09 aju 03 Bryon 8/1/10 07:25 Página 31 Measuring the qualities of Choisy’s oblique and axonometric projections Hilary Bryon Auguste Choisy is renowned for his «axonometric» representations, particularly those illustrating his Histoire de l’architecture (1899). Yet, «axonometric» is a misnomer if uniformly applied to describe Choisy’s pictorial parallel projections. The nomenclature of parallel projection is often ambiguous and confusing. Yet, the actual history of parallel projection reveals a drawing system delineated by oblique and axonometric projections which relate to inherent spatial differences. By clarifying the intrinsic demarcations between these two forms of parallel pro- jection, one can discern that Choisy not only used the two spatial classes of pictor- ial parallel projection, the oblique and the orthographic axonometric, but in fact manipulated their inherent differences to communicate his theory of architecture. Parallel projection is a form of pictorial representation in which the projectors are parallel. Unlike perspective projection, in which the projectors meet at a fixed point in space, parallel projectors are said to meet at infinity. Oblique and axonometric projections are differentiated by the directions of their parallel pro- jectors. Oblique projection is delineated by projectors oblique to the plane of pro- jection, whereas the orthographic axonometric projection is defined by projectors perpendicular to the plane of projection. Axonometric projection is differentiated relative to its angles of rotation to the picture plane. When all three axes are ro- tated so that each is equally inclined to the plane of projection, the axonometric projection is isometric; all three axes are foreshortened and scaled equally.
