After attending Union College, he taught briefly before embarking on a career as a newspaperman. He edited a succession of newspapers across upstate New York before he and his family settled in Rochester in 1884. An accomplished poet, ardent Emersonian, and early Theosophist, G.C. Bragdon published a volume of verse, Undergrowth (1895), various pamphlets on New York State, and edited Notable Men of Rochester and Vicinity (1902). He died August 7, 1910. Katherine Elmina Shipherd was born December 30, 1837 in Walton, New York to Catherine Schermerhorn, a temperance and women's rights advocate, and Fayette Shipherd, a Congregationalist minister and abolitionist. Like the Bragdon's Oswego County home, Fayette Shipherd's house was a station on the Underground Railroad. In 1858, Shipherd moved his family to Ohio where his younger brother John J. Shipherd had been a founder of Oberlin College. Katherine Shipherd taught at Pulaski Seminary in Oswego County, New York prior to her marriage to George C. Bragdon on March 22, 1860. The couple had two children, May (1865-1947) and Claude Fayette (1866-1946). Katherine Bragdon died September 6, 1920. Claude Fayette Bragdon was born at the Shipherd family home in Oberlin, Ohio on August 1, 1866. His family moved often until shortly after Bragdon and his sister graduated from Oswego High School in 1884, and they settled in Rochester. Bragdon immediately began work as a draftsman for a series of Rochester architects, most notably Charles Ellis, for whom he worked 1886-1889. During this period Bragdon helped to organize the Rochester Architectural Sketch Club and entered numerous architectural competitions, often winning a top prize. In January 1890, Bragdon struck out for New York where he was briefly employed by Bruce Price before returning upstate for a job with the Buffalo firm of Green & Wicks. He returned to Rochester in 1891 to go into partnership with Edwin S. Gordon and William H. Orchard (Gordon, Bragdon and Orchard). Among the firm's most notable projects were competition designs for a New York City Hall and a re-design of Boston's Copley Square, as well as several railroad stations and a commission for a new building for the Rochester Atheneum and Mechanics Institute. Following his firm's dissolution in 1895, Bragdon went to England, France, and Italy for the summer. Upon his return, he wrote and lectured on his travel experience and on poster art while producing a substantial body of graphic design work for publishers, civic groups, and others. During the 1890s, Bragdon's competition entries and articles, e.g. a series on Colonial architecture in the American - Page 4- bragdon_family_papers Architect and Building News, earned him notice in national architectural circles. His 1901 lecture to the Architectural League of America, "Mysticism and Architecture," further enhanced his rising status. In January 1897, J. Con Hillman joined Bragdon and his young draftsman James Arnold in practice; the partnership was amicably dissolved in 1904. The firm's important commissions included residences for Nathan Stein (1897) and other members of Rochester society, an addition to the Livingston County Courthouse (1898), and with J. Foster Warner, the Otis Arch (1900). On November 3, 1902 Bragdon married Charlotte Wilkinson of Syracuse after a two-year engagement. The granddaughter of Samuel Joseph May, a Unitarian minister, abolitionist, and influential reformer, Charlotte graduated from Smith College in 1894 and taught there while obtaining a Master's degree in sociology. After college, she worked at the Hartley House settlement in New York City, served as Secretary and then President of the National League of Women Workers, and lobbied in Albany for legislation to protect women workers. The pair moved into a house of Bragdon's design and had two sons, Henry (1906) and Chandler (1907). Charlotte died on December 15,

  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

She is a qualified architect and holds a PhD from The Bartlett, UCL, UK. Her research focuses on the early history and cross-disciplinary origins of the notion of “architectural space”. Publications include articles in: Architecture and the Unconscious (Hendrix and Holm, eds.; 2016); The Journal of Architecture (2013); Claude Bragdon and The Beautiful Necessity (Ellis and Reithmayr, eds.; 2010); and From Models to Drawings (Frascari et al, eds.; 2007). Dr Malathouni also specialises in twentieth-century architectural heritage. She is full member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (UK) and associate member of ICOMOS’s International Scientific Committee on 20th-century Heritage. TITLE PAGE WITH ABSTRACT Claude Bragdon’s “Projective Ornament”: mineral, vegetable, animal, human Abstract This paper discusses the work of the American architect, mystic and theorist Claude Fayette Bragdon (1866—1946). It focuses on his “Projective Ornament” which, it is argued, puts forward a “higher” type of “organicism” that adds a fourth “step” – that of the human – to earlier theories that presented minerals, vegetables and animals as part of an evolutionary, hierarchical sequence. In this connection, Bragdon’s theories can be seen to develop a new type of “humanist” architecture that relates to the full scope of human nature, namely, embracing human consciousness, psychological attributes and spiritual qualities as well as its embodied presence.

  • Past Life Regression
    Past Life Regression Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover the memories of past lives or incarnations. Past-life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation, though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives. The technique used during past-life regression involves the subject answering a series of questions while hypnotized to reveal identity and events of their past lives. The use of hypnosis and suggestive questions can tend to help the subject to recall his past memories. The source of the memories is more likely that of combine experiences, knowledge, imagination and suggestion or guidance from the hypnotist or regression therapist. Once created, those memories are indistinguishable from memories based on events that occurred during the subject's life. Experiments with subjects undergoing past-life regression indicate that a belief in reincarnation and suggestions by the hypnotist are the two most important factors regarding the contents of memories reported. In the 2nd century BC, Sage Patanjali, in his Yoga Sutras, discussed the idea of the soul becoming burdened with an accumulation of impressions as part of the karma from previous lives. Patanjali called the process of past-life regression “prati- prasav”or "reverse birthing" and saw it as addressing current problems through memories of past lives. Past life regression can be found in Jainism. The seven truths of Jainism deal with the soul and its attachment to karma and Moksha.

EMPIRICAL INQUIRY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AFTER THE LAWYERING PROCESS RICHARD K. NEUMANN, JR. & STEFAN H. KRIEGER* One of the many ways in which The Lawyering Process was a pioneering book was its extensive reliance on empirical research about lawyers, lawyering, and activities analogous to some or another aspect of lawyering. To what extent has the clinical field accepted Gary Bellow and Bea Moulton's invitation to explore empirical stud- ies generated outside legal education and perhaps engage in empirical work ourselves to understand lawyering more deeply? Although some clinicians have done good empirical work, our field as a whole has not really accepted Gary and Bea's invitation. This article ex- plains empirical ways of thinking and working; discusses some of the mistakes law scholars (not only clinicians) make when dealing with empirical work; explores some of the reasons why empiricism has encountered difficulty in law schools; and suggests that empiricism might in some ways improve our teaching in clinics.

  • The Early Seventeenth-Century Origin of the Macbeth Superstition The
    The early seventeenth-century origin of the Macbeth superstition The theatrical superstition regarding Shakespeare's Macbeth--that naming it or alluding to it brings bad lack--is well documented in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, although critical editions of the play seldom refer to it. Popular belief that the superstition began in the seventeenth century has been sustained by repetition of a story about the death of an actor called Hal Berridge while playing Lady Macbeth on 7 August 1606. This story is rife on World Wide Web sites about the play and appeared in a book whose author should know better (Epstein 1993, 428). No actor named Hal Berridge is recorded in the lists of theatrical personnel produced by E. K. Chambers, Edwin Nungezer, G. E. Bentley, or David J. Kathman (Chambers 1923, 295-350; Nungezer 1929; Bentley 1941, 343-628; Kathman 2001a), although Kathman found that A boy named Henry Berredge was christened on 28 July 1593 in Bitchfield, Lincolnshire, the son of George Berredge. This would make him 13 years old in 1606, just about the right age to play a female role on the London stage at the time. (Kathman 2001b) John Aubrey is sometimes given as the source of the Hal Berridge story, but the name cannot be found in the index to any Aubrey work. The only book devoted to the topic of the supposed theatrical curse on the play Macbeth makes no attempt to substantiate its assertions (Huggett 1981). Without evidence that the boy from Bitchfield became a player, let alone that he died playing Lady Macbeth, we might be tempted to assign the origin of the superstition about Macbeth to the nineteenth-century theatre industry, but in fact there is a hitherto unnoticed example of it from the seventeenth century.

  • THE BANK of the METROPOLIS, 31 Union Square West A/K/A 19-23 East 16Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12,1988; Designation List 206 LP-1537 THE BANK OF THE METROPOLIS, 31 Union Square West a/k/a 19-23 East 16th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1902-1903; architect, Bruce Price; builder, George Fuller Company. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 844, Lot 17. On May 14, 1985, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Bank of the Metropolis (Item No. 3). The hearing was continued to September 17, 1985 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Forty-two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. One witness took no position. The Commission received several letters in support of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary A limestone-faced bank and office tower, the Bank of the Metropolis, a columnar tripartite skyscraper, is a representative example of the major New York architect Bruce Price's neo­ Renaissance commercial architecture. The design incorporates classical elements which were traditionally associated with American bank architecture. Notable features include the bowed two-story portico with monumental polished granite columns, lions' heads, consoles, foliated spandrels and spandrels with open-mouthed lions. Built in 1902-1903, 1 the bank occupies a commanding corner location on Union Square West and demonstrates the arch~tect's ability to adapt a building to both the requirements of function and the dictates of site. Created to serve the needs of businesses on the square, the bank had members of the local business community on its board of directors.
