  • ​The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles an Addendum to the SAMS Sporran – March 2020 ​
    ​The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles An addendum to The SAMS Sporran – March 2020 ​ ​Saint Patrick was a Roman Born in Scotland When one says St. Patrick several images​ spring to mind; Ireland Green, snakes, shamrocks and leprechauns. Much of that comes under the heading of wishful thinking. According to the Online Vatican Library, The real Saint Patrick was born in Kilpatrick, Dumbarton in AD 415. His real name was Maewyn Succat. His parents were Calphurnius and Conchessa Succat. His father belonged to a Romano-Britian family of high rank and held the office of Decurion. (A decurion {Latin:decurio, plural decuriones} was a Roman cavalry officer in command of a squadron (turma) of cavalrymen in the Roman army.) Calphurnius Succat was decurion stationed at The Antionine Wall in Scotland. Conchessa was a distant relative of the patron saint of Gaul, (France) St. Martin of Tours. When he was sixteen, Maewyn (Patrick) was carried off into captivity by Irish marauders and was sold as a slave to a chieftain named Milchu in Dalriada, a territory in the present county of Antrim in Ireland. For six years he tended his master's flocks in the valley of The Braid and on the slopes of Slemish, near the modern town of Ballymena. He heard a voice telling him he would go home soon and that a boat was ready. He walked about two hundred miles and found a boat that took him back to Scotland. Following his escape, he joined the priesthood and changed his name to Patrick. At age forty three he became a bishop and asked to be sent to Ireland.

    Douglass College Presents 32nd Annual Highlight: Charm of Korea Saturday, April 29 Saturday, April 29th 32nd Annual We honor South Korea, “The Land of Morning Calm” Come to Highland Park! A diverse community respectful of everyone’s heritage! Page 3 Page A Student Run Event he festival is the end product of a four-credit class intended in part to provide students with leadership opportunities. TThe festival is one of only a handful in the United States managed by undergraduate students. Collectively, the staff is responsible for continuing the festival’s mission of celebrating the diverse multicultural and indigenous folklore of New Jersey and the region. In 1975, when the festival was first started, only two students were involved in its organization and management. Today, twelve to fourteen students serve as coordinators for the music, food, and crafts that you see today on the field. Alumnae of the festival also serve as advisors to the committee. The class meets for three hours once a week in a board-meeting fashion under the direction of Faculty Advisors Dr. Angus Kress Gillespie and Erin Clarke. During the first half of the class, there is academic instruction in which the students learn concepts including the distinction between “traditional” versus “revival” folk music and crafts, the intricate production facets of a festival, performer histories, and how to write press releases. The second half of the class functions as a business meeting, complete with progress reports from coordinators, “breakaway” management teamwork sessions, as well as problem-solving discussions during meeting wrap-up. The coordinators form a closely-knit team, in which each student can expect to develop such leadership and management skills as written and verbal communication, organization, assertiveness and time management.
