The Philadelphia firm of Burt, Hill, Kosar and Rittelmann will develop the plan in conjunction with landscape architect George Hargraves, pending Board of Trustees approval. Hargraves has offices in San Francisco and Boston. A Master Plan is a report which offers suggestions for space usage to create a more cohesive and attractive commu­ nity of buildings. It provides an outline for overall future space needs, but not the details of potential improvements.

Abstract: The Saint Joseph’s University Records (formerly Saint Joseph’s College) houses the institutional, and organizational records of Saint Joseph’s University. This collection, which dates from 1851-2019, with bulk dates of 1960-1990, consists of photographs; including negatives and slides, correspondence, documents; including records, minutes, memoranda and reports, ephemera, objects, memorabilia; including audio and video recordings, scrapbooks and yearbooks which document and evidence the history of the administrative and academic units and activities of SJU’s administration, faculty, staff and students.

  • Eliot, As Is Well Known, Chose Conrad's Words for His Epigraph to the Hoilow Men'
    LEITURA -INGLÊS: ENSINO E LITERATURAS, n, 36. p. 71-83, jul./dez, 2005 FROM LILAC TO LARKSPUR: SELF-REFUTATION IN T. S. ELIOTS LATER POETRYl^» Chris Joyce^*' Abstract: This paper argues tliat much of Eliot's poetr}'is xinconsdously self-refutational and self-deceived. Onr attention is distracted from tliis by its lyricism and inrensely personal poignancy. Disgust at the contemplation of humanity, and self-disgust, underlie Eliot's parodie treatment of life: the horror of the sinfulness of the flesh, which can 'only die'. I argue that, while \ve cannot ask a poet to give an untruthful report of experience,something is wrong when the creative faculty is given so strongly to expressions of general disgust, over and above ElÍot's anti-semitism, niisogyny, sexual ambivalence and prurience. To counterbalance this effect, Eliot posits tlie ambivalent 'enchantment' of 'death's twilight kingdom', with its promise of redemption from sin, and tlie enchantment of chüdhood memories, which he presents as uldmately beguiiing and illusory. But in 'Marina' die quasi-liturgical passage on spiritual death is 'placed' by the effect of the poem as a whole. Similarly, the life and vitaüty of the sixth section of 'Ash- Wednesday' evokes poetic values wliich repudiate the author's conscious intentions. In 'Little Gidding' he recalls Tliings ill done and done to others' harm.* Itis the compound ghost who speaks (containing the Eliodc alter-ego), die Brunetto Latini of Canto of the Inferno. That Eliot is, in a broad sense, sexually — and dierefore humanly — maladjusted explains die persistent presence in liis work of a condidon which 'remains to poison life and obstruct acdon,' His major cridcs have been curiously uncridcal in this regard.

URL: http://tiny.cc/AR813 Review by Molly Geidel, University of Manchester his is a fascinating and timely collection of articles on sport and diplomacy, focusing most closely on how athletics met Cold War maneuvering in the 1970s. Along with a brief introduction by editors T Hallvard Notaker, Giles Scott-Smith, and David J. Snyder, Anne Blaschke provides a nuanced account of how track athletes came to represent U.S. interests during the Cold War and began to resist their status as national symbols; Scott Laderman traces the convergences of surfing and international diplomacy in Japan and Indonesia; Joseph Eaton carefully considers how Asian leaders and diplomats leveraged their participation in the 1980 Olympic boycott to improve relations with the United States and otherwise achieve varying diplomatic goals; and John Soares convincingly argues that Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s administration used hockey diplomacy to demonstrate a degree of distance from the United States and closeness to the Soviet Union. The section also contains two fascinating commentaries. Mario Del Pero considers the range of relationships the articles suggest between athletic contests and international relations, while Shanon Fitzpatrick draws attention to important themes. She notes how these articles
