No graduation ceremony at the University of Pennsylvania could have more anniversary implications than that in which we participate today. This year of 1982 marks the three hundredth birthday of Philadelphia, founded by William Penn on the edge of the rich forested land of the Lenni Lenape Indians, and of the commonwealth which, together with the University, bears the name of the Quaker colonizer and man of peace. Although it was the sons of the founder of our city and state who, in 1755, chartered the young College and nurtured the growth of Benjamin Franklin's edu- cational project with gifts of land, books, and scientific apparatus, it was the philosophy of toleration and the nonsectarian spirit of their father (to which Franklin's own beliefs were, of course, akin) which gave the College, later the University of Pennsylvania, a character unique among the infant academies of learning in the New World. As the Class of 1982 recalls the tercentenary of the settlement of the city in which they have received their education, it can also look back to a bicentenary of the University's own—the Commencement of 1782. On March 21 in that year, a century after the landing of Penn and while the American nation was still at war with Great Britain, the University of Pennsylvania graduated in its hall on Fourth Street sixteen Bachelors of Arts and eight Doctors of Medicine and conferred six honorary degrees. The ceremony was attended by "his excellency general Washington, and his family" in the company of the Minister of France and of Major General Baron von Steuben. Another convocation in the same year should be noted as a second important anniversary. In December, the University con- ferred its first two Doctor of Laws degrees. The recipients were the Chevalier (later Marquis) de Chastellux, Major General of the French forces in America, and Francois Barbé-Marbois, Consul of France. By the time another century had passed, the University of Pennsylvania had been for ten years at home on a new campus across the Schuylkill River in West Philadelphia. Lacking an auditorium larger than the chapel in College Hall, Com- mencement exercises were held at the Academy of Music in the center of the city and degree candidates, in procession, walked twenty blocks to receive their aca- demic rewards. The trustees and faculty, older and in some cases frailer, rode in horse-drawn carriages. They made the trip twice for two ceremonies were held in 1882. The first, in March, graduated the majority of the medical candidates. Among the 118 Americans, three Canadians, and one Brazilian seated on the stage that day was Nathan Francis Mossell, of Lockport, New York, Penn's first black medical degree recipient, later a distinguished Philadelphia physician and hospital founder. As the diploma was handed to the man who had faced and conquered overt prejudice during much of his student career, the entire audience accorded him an immense ovation. At the principal Commencement, held on June 15, the University bestowed forty-eight undergraduate degrees, seven certificates of proficiency, and fifteen Master of Arts degrees. In addition, thirty-seven Bachelors of Law, five Doctors of Medicine, and four Doctors of Philosophy received their honors and three Doctor of Laws degrees were conferred. Among the candidates was one woman. Martha P. Hughes was there as recipient of the B.S. degree given, in fact, for graduate work, by the Auxiliary Faculty of Medicine. It was but the second degree of any kind awarded by the University to a woman. Already M.D. of Michigan, Dr. Hughes was a Welsh-born Mormon who, at the age of five, crossed the Great Plains with her family enroute to Utah. She was later elected to the Utah Legisla- ture, and is believed to have been the first woman in the world to hold such an office. A half century later, women were numbered in the hundreds among the 1600 degree candidates from the College and twelve Schools and programs of the Uni- versity who assembled in "the Municipal Auditorium," as Convention Hall was then called, for the 1932 Commencement. The ten recipients of honorary degrees included Mrs. Mary Louise Curtis Bok, president of the Curtis Institute of Music, who was given a doctorate of humane letters, and Justice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, of the United States Supreme Court, who received a doctor of laws degree. The University mace, the symbol of authority of the University Corporation, is carried at the head of the academic procession by the Secretary of the University. It was the gift of the family of William Morrison Gordon, M.D. 1910. It is adorned with the seal and arms of the University, the Penn and Franklin coats- of-arms, a depiction of the Rittenhouse orrery, and a thistle symbolizing the early ties of the University with Scotland. New to the ceremony this year will be the wearing by the President of his badge of office, a silver medallion of which one face is engraved, like the mace, with the University seal. The obverse of the President's badge bears the "orrery seal," designed in 1782—another anniversary for the Class of 1982—by Francis Hopkinson, A.B. 1757, signer of the Declaration of Independence. The badge, suspended on a chain composed of silver links, was given by the Honorable Thomas S. Gates, A.B. 1928, LL.D. 1956, trustee emeritus. Academic dress stems from the clerical robes of the Middle Ages, when the hood was worn raised for protection in drafty halls.

Although purportedly about science, the essays are often principally directed at those philosophers of science who do not understand the banalities of the sciences they write about or are interested in. (Scientists tend to like this kind of stuff, because it is people saying what the scientists know or think. Everyone likes cheerleading.) Only one of the essays, Romeijin and Williamson's, makes any contribution a brain scientist could conceivably use. Romeijin and Williamson, Intervention and Identification in Latent Variable Modeling The authors actually do something. They show that if X, Y, L are binary, and L is the common cause of X, Y, and X, Y are measured and L is unmeasured and there and there are no other causal relations between X and Y, then an exogenous perturbation of the distribution of L allows identification of p(X | L) and p(Y | L) (and of course, p(X,Y | L) for all values of L, without knowledge of the distributions of L before and after perturbation except that the distributions are different. Of course, it isn't true if the relation between X, Y and L is linear, or if besides the common cause, X influences Y, or if L has more than two values, etc. The authors give no empirical example that realizes their result.

  • Counterfactual Desirability
    Counterfactual Desirability Richard Bradley and H. Orri Stef´ansson Abstract The desirability of what actually occurs is often influenced by what could have been. Preferences based on such value dependencies between actual and counterfactual outcomes generate a class of problems for orthodox deci- sion theory, the best-known perhaps being the so-called Allais Paradox. In this paper we solve these problems by extending Richard Jeffrey’s decision theory to counterfactual prospects, using a multidimensional possible-world semantics for conditionals, and showing that preferences that are sensitive to counterfactual considerations can still be desirability maximising. We end the paper by investigating the conditions necessary and sufficient for a desirability function to be a standard expected utility function. It turns out that the additional conditions imply highly implausible epistemic principles. 1. Two Paradoxes of Rational Choice 2. Jeffrey Desirability 3. Counterfactuals 3.1 Probability and desirability of counterfactuals 3.2. Representations 4. Counterfactual-Dependent Preferences 1 4.1 Preference actualism and desirability maximisation 4.2 Modelling Allais' and Diamond's preferences 5.

Ortiz. “In the course of this alleged conspiracy, they managed to chase a legitimate business out of the City of Boston and then harassed the cast and crew when they set up shop in Milton. This kind of conduct reflects poorly on our city and must be addressed for what it is – not union organizing, but criminal extortion.” “While unions have the right to advocate on behalf of their members, they do not have the right to use violence and intimidation,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division. “The strong-arm tactics the FBI has seen in this case are egregious and our investigation is far from over. Today’s arrests should send a message to those who think they can get away with manipulating the system that they better think twice.” Mark Harrington, 61, of Andover; John Fidler, 51, of Holbrook; Daniel Redmond, 47, of Medford; Robert Cafarelli, 45, of Middleton; and Richard Jeffrey, 55, of Woburn, were indicted on conspiracy to extort and attempted extortion of a television production company in order to obtain no-work jobs for fellow Teamsters.

  • Pierre Fauchard "The Father of Modern Dentistry" PIERRE FAUCHARD the "Father of Modern Dentistry"
    História Pierre Fauchard "The father of modern dentistry" PIERRE FAUCHARD The "Father of Modern Dentistry" Pierre Fauchard O "Pai da Odontologia Moderna" Wilson Denis Martins 1 The 17th century saw many advances in all areas of science, technology and medicine. In 1728 Pierre Fauchard, a French dentist, published "Le Chirurgien Dentiste", which contained detailed information about several aspects of contemporary dentistry. Fauchard was followed by John Hunter, in England, who had published his book, "The Natural History of the Human Teeth", and gave the first course of dental lectures at Guy´s Hospital in London. Pierre Fauchard joined the navy at the age of 15, and came under the influence of a navy Surgeon Major, A. Poteleret, who had spent time studying the diseases of the mouth, in special of the dental organs. This man inspired and encouraged Fauchard do real and carefully investigate the findins of his predecessors in the healing arts. During 3 years, Fauchard, who was a voracious reader with an endless enthusiasm to learn and share with others, acquired skill and knowledge not usually found in someone so young. He returned from the Navy in 1696 and opened a practice in Angers, at that time an University Center. In 1718 he moved to Paris, where he was called on by eminent general surgeons for dental related consultations and referrals. He was now recognized as he most outstanding dental surgeon in all oF France! Before Fauchard, dentists were called "Dentateurs" (Denture Makers). They were very few and mainly did extractions of the teeth. However, the barbers also extracted teeth an were expert in using leeches for bleeding.

Emotivist theories treat value judgments as expressions of desire, rather than beliefs about goodness. Inference ticket theories of conditionals treat them as expressions of conditional beliefs, rather than propositions. The two issues intersect in decision theory, where judgments of expected goodness are expressible by means of decision-making conditionals. In the first chapter, I argue that decision theory cannot be given a Humean founda- tion by means of money pump arguments, which purport to show that the transitivity of preference and indifference is a requirement of instrumental reason.
