We will seek quality in our teaching and research and in the services that support our academic enterprise. Our programs will be those that meet our own high standards, that augment each other, and that are worthy of the respect of our students and of scholars, educators, and the larger community. For students, our search for quality will mean opportunities both in and beyond the classroom to become well educated, well–rounded individuals, professionals, and scholars. For faculty and staff, it will mean opportunities to realize their talents in the service of Tufts’ goals. Fulfilling our vision of quality will mean choices. No university can do everything for everyone, and we will seek to do those things in which we can excel. Nor is quality static, and we will therefore welcome change and innovation, continually improving quality in every aspect of the University. Learning Knowledge is important but alone is not enough. Learning must be lifelong. We will teach our students how to obtain, evaluate, and use information. We will prepare them to use historical perspective and to be receptive to new ideas. Our students will be sensitive to ethical issues and able to confront them. Teaching and The Search for Knowledge As a teaching University, we will honor and promote effective teaching, both inside and outside the classroom. We will seek an environment in which faculty and students are mutually engaged in the search for knowledge. We value research and scholarly activities independently from their contribution to teaching, but they will never become so important that we forget our commitment to educating our students. We believe technology can help us to enhance our educational programs and the services that support them. We will seek opportunities to use it effectively. Citizenship As an institution, we are committed to improving the human condition through education and discovery. Beyond this commitment, we will strive to be a model for society at large. We want to foster an attitude of “giving back;” an understanding that active citizen participation is essential to freedom and democracy; and a desire to make the world a better place. Diversity We value a diverse community of women and men—of different races, religions, geographic origins, socio–economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, personal characteristics, and interests—where differences are understood and respected. Global Orientation We will cultivate in our students an understanding of the citizens and cultures of the world, realizing this goal through our curriculum, study abroad, and students who come to Tufts from abroad. We will strive to contribute to global intellectual capital, harmony, and well being. Fiscal Responsibility Fulfilling the University’s mission and its obligations to its students, faculty, staff, and other constituencies requires that we pursue policies that ensure fiscal soundness, now and in the future. To accomplish this, we will seek out new resources as well as using those we have as efficiently and effectively as possible. 6 Tufts ⏐ University ⏐ Fact ⏐ Book⏐ 2007 ⏐ 2008 HISTORY Chapel and Ballou Hall, 1884 7 Tufts ⏐ University ⏐ Fact ⏐ Book⏐ 2007 ⏐ 2008 HIGHLIGHTS OF 2007 Steven Manos retired in August as Executive Vice President, after 26 years.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement Series
    Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement Interviews with 61 leaders from 26 universities in 17 countries written by 15 authors www.tnlc.org/lcem 1 Dedication to the memory of a pioneering leader and champion of university civic engagement Professor Russel Botman, Former Rector and Vice-Chancellor of Stellenbosch University “Africa needs a new generation of responsible leaders who will be willing to place the public good before self-interest.” Professor Botman is one of the pioneers of higher education transformation in South Africa. His legacy speaks of Hope, not as goodwill sentiment, but as a palpable directive for efforts in teaching and learning, community engagement and research. We will remember him for his commitment to promote innovation and inclusivity of an institution that can stand as an African and International beacon in Higher Education. Professor Botman displayed courage, patience and determination in seeking solutions to many of his university’s most difficult challenges. Botman was born in Bloemfontein on October 18 1953. In 1976, the year of the Soweto uprising, he led his fellow students in human rights protests against apartheid laws. He was ordained in 1982, he served as minister of religion of the Wynberg congregation of the Dutch Reformed Mission Church from 1982 to 1993. In 1994, he joined the University of Western Cape as a senior lecturer in practical theology. Botman was promoted to associate professor and dean of the faculty of religion and theology in 1999. In 2000, he joined Stellenbosch University as a professor in missiology and public theology. He became vice-rector for teaching at Stellenbosch University in 2002 and served in that position until his historic appointment as the institution’s first black rector and vice-chancellor in 2007.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Fabulist in the Fable
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Fabulist in the Fable Book A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Classics by Kristin Leilani Mann 2015 © Copyright by Kristin Leilani Mann 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERETATION The Fabulist in the Fable Book by Kristin Leilani Mann Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Kathryn Anne Morgan, Co-Chair Professor Amy Ellen Richlin, Co-Chair Four fable books survive from Greco-Roman antiquity: (1) the Life and Fables of Aesop (1st-2nd century CE), a collection of Greek prose fables; (2) Phaedrus’s Fabulae Aesopiae (1st century CE), a collection of Latin verse fables; (3) Babrius’s Μυθίαμβοι Αἰσώπειοι (1st century CE), a collection of Greek verse fables; and (4) Avianus’s Fabulae (4th-5th century CE), a collection of Latin verse fables. The thesis of this dissertation is that in each of these fable collections, the fabulist’s presence in the fable book – his biography, his self-characterizations, and his statements of purpose – combine to form a hermeneutic frame through which the fables may be interpreted. Such a frame is necessary because the fable genre is by nature multivalent: fables may be interpreted in many different ways, depending on their context. For embedded fables (that is, fables embedded in a larger narrative or speech), the fable’s immediate context influences the fable’s interpretation. In the fable books, however, there is no literary context; the ii fables stand as isolated narratives. The fabulist himself, I argue, takes the place of this missing context, and thus provides the reader with an interpretive framework.

    FALL 2017 UMLUMASS LOWELL MAGAZINE WHAT IF YOU LIVE TO 1OO? Page 24 FIRST LOOK FIRST LOOK SUN SALUTATION The rare total solar eclipse that swept across the U.S. in August was a boon for UMass Lowell researchers. Students and faculty from the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology took advantage of the unique conditions to study how space weather affects things like GPS navigation, short- wave radio and satellite communications. Physics professor and center director Supriya Chakrabarti traveled to Jackson, Wyo., which was in the swath of country that experienced a total blockage of the sun. Working with physics Assist. Prof. Timothy Cook, he used a custom-built spectrograph to study changes in the upper atmosphere during the eclipse. Two graduate students conducted a similar experiment near Carbondale, Ill., which was also in the eclipse’s path of totality. Edwin Aguirre, a senior science writer in the Office of University Relations and his wife, Imelda Joson, traveled to Riverton, Wyo., to view the eclipse and shoot photos for the “Eclipse Megamovie,” a project launched by Google and the University of California Berkeley. The project’s goal is to aggregate pictures of the eclipse from more than 1,000 volunteer photographers and amateur astronomers. The collection of images will help scientists study the dynamics of the sun’s inner corona and measure the size of the sun with better precision. This photo, taken by Aguirre during the peak of the eclipse, shows the moon in front of the sun. —JG FALL 2017 1 FALL 2017 VOLUME 19 NUMBER 3 The UMass Lowell Alumni Magazine is published by: Office of University Relations University of Massachusetts Lowell A message from One University Avenue Chancellor Jacqueline F.
