  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

    Alice Freeman Palmer: The Evolution of a New Woman Ruth Bordin http://www.press.umich.edu/13480/alice_freeman_palmer The University of Michigan Press, 1993 Alice Freeman Palmer The Evolution of a New Woman Ruth Bordin Frontispiece photo of Alice Freeman Palmer courtesy of Wellesley College Archives. For the Wednesday lunchers, who each in her way was a New Woman Preface The research for this biography of Alice Freeman Palmer began thirty-five years ago as I put together an exhibit for the Bentley Historical Library honoring the 1957 centennial of the inauguration of the teaching of history at the University of Michigan. Two women who trained in the pioneer history seminar of Charles Kendall Adams caught my attention, Alice Freeman and Lucy Salmon. I was startled to find women pursuing graduate training in history at that early date. I was also caught by the fact that both became distinguished educators with long careers. My interest in Palmer was rekindled thirty years later in the spring of 1987 by a symposium on "Changes in the Lives of Educated Women," sponsored by the Center for the Continuing Education for Women at the University of Michigan. At the symposium I particularized the wider picture of women and higher education in a brief paper on women's experience at the University of Michigan from 1870 to 1987. Palmer's wider influence on women's higher education attracted my attention once more. Alice Freeman Palmer's career was distinguished and certainly not forgotten by scholars. She was a pioneer alumna of the first great American university to admit women; president of Wellesley College and a key figure on its board of trustees during two of its most crucial decades; the first dean at the University of Chicago; and leader, arbiter, and spokeswoman for women's place in higher education during much of her adult life.

  • On the Trail of Katharine Lee Bates© Talk for the Wellesley Reunion of Class of 1966, June 3, 2016 by Melinda M
    !1 On the Trail of Katharine Lee Bates© Talk for the Wellesley Reunion of Class of 1966, June 3, 2016 by Melinda M. Ponder Welcome to everyone—I’m glad to share my excitement about what I have learned while working on a biography of Katharine Lee Bates. How many of us knew, as we sang “America the Beautiful” in our student days, that its writer, Katharine Lee Bates, for whom the Bates dorm is named, was truly a pioneering and complex woman? Although I loved “America the Beautiful,” that was not why I began what has become a wonderful project for me while being Professor of English at Pine Manor College. When I was on a panel of Nathaniel Hawthorne scholars twenty-five years ago, most of us singled out the commentaries by someone named Katharine Lee Bates as some of the most lively, the most brilliant, and for me, the most feminist in spirit. I was amazed—How did the poet of “America the Beautiful” know so much about Nathaniel Hawthorne? Had she written anything else? Had I found the woman who could be the subject of my next book? ©2016 by Melinda Ponder !2 When I came out to the Wellesley Archives, I found the 30 books Katharine had written or edited along with her very legible (thankfully) diaries and letters. Best of all, there were her six big scrapbooks full of clippings of the poems and stories she had published in leading newspapers and magazines, that would have been almost impossible for me to track down any other way.

    Alice Freeman Palmer: The Evolution of a New Woman Ruth Bordin http://www.press.umich.edu/13480/alice_freeman_palmer The University of Michigan Press, 1993 3 Commitment In June of 1872 Alice Freeman, accompanied by her father, traveled from Binghamton, New York, to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Their route took them across Canada from Niagara Falls to Windsor, Ontario, and they changed trains in Detroit. Alice made this trip several times over the next four years. The journey was long, tedious, and she had to spend a night on the train, which arrived in Detroit in the morning. But she usually traveled by drawing room, purchased a berth for the night, provided herself with an ample hamper of lunch from home, and enjoyed the journey. 1 This first trip with her father combined the excitement of academic exploration and new geographical vistas. She had never before ventured beyond the Susquehanna River valley. Alice and James Freeman spent commencement week in Ann Arbor. Their purpose was to secure Alice's admission to the University of Michigan, but their visit also allowed them to assess the institution and the town where Alice was to spend most of the next four years. In the 1870s, Michigan's graduation festivities lasted several days, and candidates for admission the next fall were examined along with the festivities which included baccalaureate services, receptions, class day exercises, and commencement proper.
