Ii, of Professor Laycock's ".Jfiml and Brain " reads: "The highest evolution of what I have termed ' Primordia Instincts' is seen in the communistic instincts of two classes of animals which are at the head of their respective archetypal branches : viz., the social insects - the most highly developed of the invertebrate; and the social man - the most highly developed of the vertebrate. In truth, the family instincts are the solid foundation of society. Hence it is, in proportion as they are active in a nation, in the same proportion is its social organization vigorous and complete." ARISTOCRACIEi are formed by Nature, by the general advancemeni of the fittest. This is accomplished gcncalog-i­ cally, and gene::ilogy is the science on \vhich arisiocracy rests. From the study of genealogy arises the science of heredity, of the science of psychic transmissions. Nobilities, on the other hand, :ire nut formed by Nature, but are recognitions, by man and his gon::rnment, of aristocratic products. Nobility and aristocracy are not always the same, yet they are related. An aristocracy does not exist in \'i_g-nr without producing a nobility, and a nobility, even though at first formed (Jf unaristocratic products, if continued in a proper 111a11ner, makes itself respectable and conse1Tati\·e. Uf aristocracy, though containing different elt·111,_·nh, there is but one description. It is an organic body, in a community, bred to eminence and renown by many generations ,,t hunor­ abk career and exaited position. Of nobility there are three formations: I, by the sword; II, by the pen; III, by landed estates; in other words, by tal­ ent recognized in individuals, regardless •>f family cunnection, iii !\' 11, 111 state-craft and scienn:; and I 11, in long tcrrit,,rial st1L·cessH111. ,'\rist<>na,')· gi\·es the nrtll grou11d-11·ork of character, nobility, the transit"r\ rnark "t disti11ctiEv11.

This iittlc kingdom, erected on a few acres of land, and known as the fan1iiy estate, is cherished, bv the n1embers of that tatllily, as a territory peculiar to itself. A. family estate is cliffe1e11t, in this respect, from the l'.state of any particular rich man, "r c,,rp<>ration. The arist<wratic family has changed the acres it occupies, by tb-_ fairy wand of its sentiment, by the [lO\Wr of its indi1·iduality, into a territorial realm that bears n·idence to its renuwn.

CHIVALRY I Who says the knight shall come amain, With gilded mail and trappings vain, His pride in pomp alone to glow, For wealth, his energy o'erflow? They estimate his worth too small, Who think that virtues near him pall: - It is by them alone he lives: They are the gems of Chivalry. II They form the charge he honors most: They give to him his proudest boast : Their honor, gentleness and grace Shine, like the sunlight, from his face. With frail timidity removed, By them his worth to Valor proved, Theirs is the name for which he strives To gain the fame of Chivalry. rrr Such is the need of every state : Without it all its days are late. So faintly shines their light of dawn, That night and day seem almost one, And deeds of darkness hold their sway, When Honor has not strength to stay­ And Honor in some form must brood, Or else there's never Chivalry. V \'I IV '!'hat forn1 Hurnanity must own, And person is the seed that's sown. From seedling must the flower expand - (;rass seed but grasses can command, .-\nd roses ne'er descend to grass, Though frequent soiled and torn, alas! And ruined in the course of life, A_nd so declines their Chivalry. V But children of the rare rose born, If Chivalry their lives adorn, Have in them all that generous mood, Whose ceaseless virtue keeps them good. No moth, corrupting, mars thei, state: Misfortune cannot make them hate A noble cause - though beaten ill: It is the cause of Chivalry. VI Let knighthood only be for those \Vhose fame is like the rare, white rose - To lead them to an honored state ; - Those men, whose lives are true and great: Whose deeds, though crowned not, like Success, Reach hearts by motives pure and bless Them with a love of right that's strong And 'stablished as their Chivalry.

An Abstract of “To Excite the Feelings of Noble Patriots:” Emotion, Public Gatherings, and Mackenzie’s American Rebellion, 1837-1842 by Joshua M. Steedman Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo August 2019 This dissertation is a cultural history of the American reaction to the Upper Canadian Rebellion and the Patriot War. This project is based on an analysis of newspaper articles published by William Lyon Mackenzie and his contemporaries, diplomatic cables between Washington D.C. and London, letters, and accounts of celebrations, toasts, and public meetings which occurred between 1837 and 1842. I argue Americans and Upper Canadians in the Great Lakes region made up a culture area. By re-engaging in a battle with the British, Upper Canadians, and their American supporters sought redemption. Reacting to geographic isolation from major metropolitan areas and a looming psychic crisis motivated many of these individuals to act.

  • Carolyn Podruchny, "Festivities, Fortitude, And
    Carolyn Podruchny, "Festivities, Fortitude, and Fraternalism: Fur Trade Masculinity and the Beaver Club, 1785-1827." In New Faces in the Fur Trade: Selected Papers of the Seventh North American Fur Trade Conference, edited by William C. Wicken, Jo-Anne Fiske and Susan Sleeper-Smith, 31-52. East Lansing, Michigan: Michigan State University Press, 1998. In 1785, wealthy fur trade merchants in Montreal founded the Beaver Club, an elite dining club restricted to men who had wintered in the North American interior, often referred to as "Indian Country." Although the Beaver Club existed along side other dining and entertainment clubs in Montreal, it was unique in its membership, raison d'être, and rituals. The club was initiated to provide a forum for retired merchants in which to reminisce about the risky and adventurous days of fur trading, and a forum for young fur traders to enter Montreal's bourgeois society.i The initial membership of nineteen expanded to a peak of fifty-five, as the club met regularly until 1804. Following a three-year suspension dinners were then resumed. It probably began to decline after the merger between the North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company in 1821, when the business centre of the fur trade moved from Montreal to Hudson Bay. Evidence shows that members continued to meet until 1824, when the Club ended. Efforts to resurrect the Club in 1827 were unsuccessful. The Beaver Club a well-known institution of the Montreal fur trade. Many scholars have glorified the exclusive fraternity and the extravagant style of the dinners, and idealized the strength of the men who wintered in "Indian Country".

  • A New Chapter Creating Connections Between Words, Hearts, and the Community
    SUMMER 2016 A New Chapter Creating connections between words, hearts, and the community Inside: Special Graduation Section – Celebrating the Class of 2016 S t. Mary’s girls love words. From the moment you walk in the doors of the school, girls of all ages are embracing words. They love to use them correctly, to play with them, and to learn new ones. I discovered this logophilia – the love of words, and word games – quickly when I first joined the St. Mary’s community in 2004. Their care for words extended from a note by a candy bowl to exquisitely written college essays. The success of Student Council campaigns seems to depend on the apt turn of phrase on the banners. And where else but at St. Mary’s does the Middle School Halloween costume winner owe her victory to creating the best visual pun? One English teacher stated this affection more boldly, “Our students leave St. Mary’s as the defenders of the English Language.” At the heart of academic success is learning to read. At St. Mary’s, we delight in teaching students of all ages the art of engaged reading. In the stories that follow, you will see how St. Mary’s is continuing its strong tradition in developing learners and creating more opportunities for our girls and for children across Memphis to discover their love of words. The Nathaniel C. Hughes Learning Center is our most recent accomplishment in fostering life-long learning. It is only fitting that Dr. Hughes’ name is honored through this center; an esteemed scholar and former headmaster, he raised St.
