In 1889, the Saint Mary’s campus moved from San Francisco to Oakland to the corner of 30th and Broadway, occupying a facility affectionately known as the “Brickpile.” The College operated there until 1928, when it was moved to its current location in Moraga. The original Moraga campus was much smaller than the current campus; eleven of the original buildings, constructed in 1928 and 1929, are still in use today. They include the Chapel, Dante Hall and Galileo Hall. 5 The College CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY 1863 Saint Mary’s College on Mission Road in San Francisco dedicated on July 9 by Archbishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany.

    VHSL Regionals 2012 Round 4 First Period, Fifteen Tossups 1. This author tells of an attack "by three doors left unguarded" as "blue-eyed banditti" climb into his chair. This poet, who immortalized his daughters Alice, Allegra, and Edith in "The Children's Hour," also wrote a long poem set "by the shores of Gitche Gumee." In another poem, he described a character who feels "the secret dread of the lonely belfry and the dead" before sending a signal from the Old North Church. For 10 points, name this American poet of The Song of Hiawatha and "Paul Revere's Ride." ANSWER: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 105-12-55-04101 2. One side in this incident, led by Yellow Bird and Big Foot, was urged to resist because their shirts would protect them from gunfire. The other side in this event was led by James Forsyth. Eighty-three years after this event occurred, Russell Means of the AIM led a seventy-one-day standoff with federal agents at the site of this incident. This event occurred days after Sitting Bull was killed in reaction to the popularity of the Ghost Dance. For 10 points, name this 1890 massacre of about 150 Sioux in South Dakota. ANSWER: Wounded Knee Massacre 131-12-55-04102 3. While living near the town of Templeton, this character clashes with Judge Marmaduke Temple and befriends the young hunter Oliver Edwards. In another novel, this character guides Cora and Alice Munro to their father’s command and kills Magua to avenge the death of his friend Uncas.

You have learnt about two types of communication channels: one in which the signals from the transmitter are guided along a physical path (or line) to the receiver. The mode of communication using guided media is called line communication and we take it up in the next unit. The communication process in which the signal is transmitted freely in the open space (atmosphere) is called 'space communication'. In this communication we use radio frequency waves as carriers. Communication through space refers mainly to propagation of etectromagnetic waves in the earth's atmosphere and satellite communication. This is what we shall discuss in this unit. Objectives After studying this unit, you will be able to: teach better to your students the concepts of propagation of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere, principles of satellite communication and its usefulness, communication bands, and applications of satellites and satellite communication in India; and devise strategies to help your students to learn these concepts and assess how well these have worked.
