  • Student Life and Campus Culture at Depaul
    CHAPTER FIVE STUDENT LIFE AND CAMPUS CULTURE AT DEPAUL A Hundred Year History John 1. Rury hroughout DePaul's history, its students have contributed to the institution's distinctive character. Since 1898, as the university has changed and the campus has grown, a vibrant student culture has evolved. This was hardly unique to DePaul. In many respects, the university's students have reflected national trends in their activities and interests. But as an urban institution, DePaul's location and programs have affected the character of its students and their activities. Historically, Chicago has been a city of immigrants, and over the years DePaul has served the city's principal immigrant groups. It has ministered to Chicago's Roman Catholic popula­ tion, to be sure, but it has also provided educational opportunities for others. As constituents of an urban university, DePaul's students have reflected the diversity and vitality one would expect of a major Chicago institution of higher learning. This is an important part of the university's heritage. In coming together at DePaul, these students created a distinctive social world of their own that changed over time, often mirroring broader tendencies in student life. Still, certain features of the DePaul student experience were quite durable and helped to define an institu­ tional identity. While in many respects its students were similar to their counterparts at other institutions, there were aspects of life at DePaul that were unique. In part this was simply structural. Campus life at DePaul has long been divided between its downtown and uptown (or Lincoln Park) locations, with each site acquiring its own atmosphere.

  • The Fate of Mid-20Th-Century Sports Loanwords from English in Polish
    Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 56s1 (2021) doi: 10.2478/stap-2021-0001 THE FATE OF MID-20TH-CENTURY SPORTS LOANWORDS FROM ENGLISH IN POLISH RADOSŁAW DYLEWSKI1, MAGDALENA BATOR2 ABSTRACT In recent years, we have observed a huge influx of vocabulary borrowed from English into Polish; these are words either of English origin or borrowed through English. At the same time, the number and variety of scholarly investigations trying to illustrate the extent of anglicisms in Polish and systematise the semantic fields which draw from English the most have increased. Most of them deal with the latest borrowings, often representing professional jargon or spoken language. In this paper we will discuss anglicisms which entered Polish over sixty years ago and remained in the sports lexicon until today. The article is a tribute to the late professor Jacek Fisiak, who offered the first in-depth analysis of sports vocabulary borrowed from English into Polish. His Ph.D. monograph (1961) and the subsequent article (1964) have shown a special place of sports terminology among anglicisms in Polish. The lexical items which Fisiak collected in the early sixties of the twentieth century have been tested not only in terms of their fate, but also the degree of grammatical and orthographic assimilation, as well as semantic changes the lexemes have undergone. The study is based on two large corpora of Polish: the Narodowy Korpus Języka Polskiego and Odkrywka, comprising texts from the 18th century until the present time. Keywords: loanword; English influence on Polish; sports terms; adaptation. 1 Faculty of English at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.

This was Tech's largest shutout margin since 1956. Things were fairly quiet in the first quarter as Tech couldn't get up a running attack. Tech did prevent its opponents from scor­ ing, however, with a goal line stand on the five. In the second quarter things got off to a fast start as Norm Nelson threw a six-yard touch­ down pass to Greg Hoit. A while later Nelson threw a 20-yard touchdown pass, again to Hoit. In the third· quarter, Nelson threw his third touchdown pass, 32 yards to John Steubs. The scoring was completed in the fourth quarter when Steubs picked off a Claremont pass and ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Steve Pohorsky rounded things out by connecting on all four PAT kicks.

These first Games for women were organized by the International Sports Clubs of Monaco and Monte Carlo, with the aim to attract and entertain sporting enthusiasts. At this international competition, women had their first opportunity to participate in athletics competitions. The Games were held in 1921, 1922 and 1923 in Monte Carlo. At that time, these Games had a prefix ‐ Olympic. The success of the first Games made the organization of the following competitions for women in a variety of events much easier. The President of the International Federation of Sports for Women was Alice Milliat, and she organized the Women's Olympic Games in Paris in 1922, the International Women's Games in 1926 in Gothenburg, in 1930 in Prague and in 1934 in London. The aim of the study is to determine the importance of Women's World Games for the overall development of women's sports and their inclusion into the competition program at the Olympics. The historical method was applied in the paper.
