  • Introduction the Period from the Spring of 1890 Into the Summer Of
    Introduction The period from the spring of 1890 into the summer of 1892 was a time of emotional turmoil for Peirce, a time of rash ventures and dashed hopes that would culminate in a transforming experience and a new sense of purpose.1 In the decade following the death of his father in 1880, Peirce suffered a number of life-changing defeats, including the loss of his teaching appointment at Johns Hopkins University and the stripping away of his leadership in gravity determinations for the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey. Peirce’s marriage in 1883 to his reputed mistress, the mysterious Juliette Froissy Pourtalais, and his ill- considered attempt to introduce her openly into his social circles, brought a rude end to his way of life up to that time. In April 1887, Charles and Juliette left New York for Milford, Pennsylvania, where they hoped to find acceptance in Milford’s small but thriving French community. In the spring of 1890, as the period of the present volume was about to begin, Peirce helped organize a debate in the pages of The New York Times on the soundness of Herbert Spencer’s evolutionary philosophy and he signed his contributions with the pseudonym “Outsider,” reflecting his increasing estrangement from mainstream society. At the age of fifty, Peirce had been pushed from center stage and his native sense of entitlement had been crushed. Peirce’s feeling of exclusion and disadvantage intensified during these years so that by May 1892, writing again as the Outsider, he would rail against the “politico-economical deification of selfishness” and its anti-Christian corrupting influence on society (see sel.

He had to resign due to his lack of a Ph.D., and prior to his departure, he submitted a college song candidate for a song contest sponsored by the Iowa State Club of Chicago. Jim and his wife, Alice, moved to Chicago where as he notes, “We (in addition to their two SPRING COMMENcEMENT babies) had $212 in cash from my last paycheck, our five-year-old Chevrolet, and the tent.” He won first place with “The Bells of Iowa State,” and the family was able to purchase a Iowa State University Library THURsDAY, MAY 3, 2018 Special Collections Department small cottage on Lake Michigan. SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2018 “When I wrote ‘The Bells of Iowa State,’ I thought then that it had much more depth and emotion than your basic football fight song,” Wilson said. “Its continuing popularity leaves me very pleased, not so much because it’s my own song, but because it has had such a good effect on those who have been touched by it.” (The Iowa Stater, June 1983) Dear Iowa State University Graduates and Guests: Congratulations to all of the Spring 2018 graduates of Iowa State University! Welcome to Iowa State University’s Spring 2018 Commencement. Congratulations to all of the graduates, and thank you to everyone who played a role in their successful journey through Iowa State.

It illuminates an aspect of them that has not been taken into account until today: it treats them as commemorative ceremonies that produce, reproduce, and transmit social memory. The interrelation and interdependence between social memory and ethnic identity construction processes are analysed and it is shown that ancient drama performances, due to specific characteristics, constitute something more than mere theatrical events (as they are defined within the Western tradition).
