From Publishers Weekly At age 11, Conway Women Reformers and American Culture left the arduous life on her family's sheep farm in the Australian outback for school in war-time Sydney, burdened by an emotionally dependent, recently widowed mother. A lively curiosity and penetrating intellect illuminate this unusually objective account of the author's progress from a solitary childhood--the most appealing part of the narrative--to public achievement as president of Smith College and now professor at MIT. Gifted with an ability to adapt to a wide range of cultures and people and despite ingrained Australian prejudice against intellectuals, Conway devoted herself to the study of history and literature, spurred on by excellent British-style schooling. Her further adventures could easily make a rewarding second volume. Paperback rights to Vintage QPBC alternate. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Conway spent her first 11 years in the windswept grasslands of Australia, where her father owned 30,000 acres of arid land. Though his ability to understand the land was extensive, an eight-year drought finally defeated him, and he comitted suicide. A few years later, Conway's oldest brother died in an automobile accident. The two deaths plunged her mother into depression. Out of this tale of hard work, drought, and sorrow, Conway emerges with character and personal strength. From the University of Sydney, she went on to study history at Harvard and eventually became the first woman president of Smith College. This inspiring book tells in full the details of her life and thoughts up to the time she left for America. Quality Paperback Book Club selection.- Judith Nixon, Purdue Univ. Libs., W.

  • Lord, Kristin
    CPL Online 3.1 Fall 2006 Kristin O. Lord Page 1 Imagining Nelson Mandela in Ancient Rome: A New Approach to Intermediate Latin Prose Composition1 Kristin O. Lord Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada) For the past three years I have been designing a series of exercises in English to Latin prose translation to complement a third and fourth semester university reading course in Latin prose and poetry. In the last year I have begun to extend my work to cover the first two semesters as well, an area which intersects with the high school curriculum. Although I have designed a fair complement of traditional military and political passages and material based on social history, I expect students to translate an increasing number of texts which are either unexpurgated or subject only to minor adaptations. For this reason I tend to ‘mine’ much of what I read—or would like to reread—for its suitability for translation into Latin prose. Each of the pieces ultimately chosen is meant to engage an idea as well as to illustrate various issues of syntax and style, but some encapsulate my overall approach more fully than others. A favorite page from Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom is perhaps the most striking illustration of the changes in both Classical scholarship and the world as a whole since the publication, nearly a century ago, of the textbook which I used to use. In this passage Mandela describes the polling station where he voted for the first time in South Africa in 1994: The images of South Africans going to the polls that day are burned in my memory.

  • Fall 00 Web Version.Pub
    Fall 2000 Page 1 Botanic Garden News The Botanic Garden Volume 3, No. 2 of Smith College Fall 2000 From the New Director Michael Marcotrigiano W hen I joined the faculty at the University of Massachusetts in 1983, my focus was on establishing my research program. I did not make a point of revealing my life story to anyone in my department. Later that year, a rumor was floating about that I was a professional jockey before entering graduate school. At the time, I was unmarried, and I did not quell the rumor since it was a great icebreaker at parties. The truth now revealed, I can ride a horse but never has anyone paid me to do so. To ensure that an even more interesting perspective of my background does not arise at Smith College, I take this opportunity to set the record straight. I was born in Brooklyn, New York in a culturally diverse neighborhood not far from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. As I child, I was fascinated by animals, however my older sister developed severe allergies to furry pets, and at the tender age of six I was forced to say goodbye to our new puppy. It took me years to forgive my sister even though my parents replaced the dog with less furry pets such as snails and fish. At the same time, my gardening uncle introduced me to the world of the radish plant and I still remember how fast they grew. Although they were fun to grow, they tasted Zadik Madelaine by photo terrible and were not fun to pet.

  • Clark Kerr and Me: the Future of the Public Law School
    Clark Kerr and Me: The Future of the Public Law School * RACHEL F. MORAN INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................... 1021 I. THE INNOVATION OF PUBLIC LEGAL EDUCATION ............................................. 1023 II. THE DEBATE OVER THE SPECIAL MISSION OF THE PUBLIC LAW SCHOOL ........ 1027 III. THE CONTESTED FUTURE OF THE PUBLIC LAW SCHOOL ................................ 1030 IV. THE ONGOING PROMISE AND PERIL OF THE PUBLIC LAW SCHOOL ................ 1043 CONCLUSION........................................................................................................ 1045 INTRODUCTION Clark Kerr has long enjoyed an iconic status among leaders in public higher education. The former president of the University of California left a lasting impression on the academic world with his Godkin Lectures on the future of colleges and universities delivered at Harvard in 1963.1 He spoke at a moment when public higher education, and indeed higher education more generally, had been enjoying a renaissance of energy and vision. After World War II, veterans returned and reinvigorated the student body with the support of the GI Bill, and state legislatures generously funded public institutions to keep tuition low so that postsecondary education would be affordable and accessible.2 This state support in turn assured the kind of quality instruction necessary to prepare adults for the complexities of the workplace and civic life at a time of increasingly sophisticated technology and an explosive growth in knowledge.3 The federal government pumped grant money into the sciences to wage the Cold War, and private industry saw the potential for gain by investing in promising new research with possible commercial applications.4 The expansion of programs and activities at colleges and universities was so diverse and dynamic that Kerr dubbed institutions like the University of California “multiversities.”5 But if Kerr’s rise to prominence seemed rapid, his fall from grace was just as sudden.

  • Smith College Jill Ker Conway Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center
    Smith College Jill Ker Conway Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Submission: Outstanding Emerging Entrepreneurship Center Submitted by: Monica Dean, Director Jill Ker Conway Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, Smith College 718-764-3578 [email protected] 1. Briefly discuss the rationale for creating this entrepreneurship center including who the stakeholders are and how you garnered their interest and support. When given the chance, women are more likely than men to start a business. In 2018, more than 1,800 new women-owned businesses were launched every day in the United States. Currently, there are about 12.3 million women-owned businesses in the country, employing more than 9 million people and generating close to $2 trillion in annual revenue. The impact is undeniable when women’s entrepreneurial aspirations are supported: communities thrive, families are stronger, and our world is better because the marketplace is more diverse. At Smith College, we recognize that barriers to women’s entrepreneurial success still exist—and we’re committed to tearing them down. We believe the most effective way to level the playing field is by creating opportunities for women to dream big and showcase their talents as thinkers, makers and founders of future businesses. Soon after arriving at Smith in 2013, President McCartney expressed her vision for a center for women focused on innovation and entrepreneurship. In February 2015, the college embarked on a strategic planning process and in accordance with the plan’s Strategic Theme 3 – Experiential and Applied Opportunities, a decision was made to invest in programs that connect students’ academic experiences with creative and practical opportunities.

  • 70 Years of Australian-American Educational Relations1
    70 Years of Australian-American Educational Relations1 By Pablo Cristóbal Jiménez Lobeira PhD FIML2 The focus of Australia-US relations is most often on mutual security and economic ties. But it is also important to acknowledge the significant role that educational linkages and exchanges have played in furthering the bond between the two countries. In any analysis of Australian foreign policy the United States occupies a prominent place. Be it on occasion of the upcoming ​elections in Australia​ or the role of Australia ​in Asia-Pacific geopolitics​, and regardless of the ​differences or similarities in attitudes about key issues between Australians and Americans, Australia and the United States ​greatly matter to each other​ in several ways. In defence, record of Australian and American troops fighting together goes as far back as the ​Battle of Hamel​ in France (1918), decades before the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries took place in 1940 and the Australia, New Zealand & United States ​(ANZUS) Security Treaty​ was signed in 1951. According to the ​DFAT U.S. brief the ANZUS Treaty is “Australia’s pre-eminent security treaty alliance and enjoys broad bipartisan support”. As for the economy, the ​Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement​ that came into effect in 2005 served to enhance an already robust binational economic relationship. The United States is ​Australia’s largest investor​ (ten times bigger than China) and its second largest trading partner. At the same time, the U.S. is the ​single largest destination of outbound Australian investment​, with over a quarter of all Australian overseas investment going to the United States (more than seven times the amount going to China).
