The college occupies a building upon the campus, which was com­ pleted in 1902 and is named Page Hall for Henry Folsom Page who was an attorney-at-law and lived at Circleville, Ohio. He bequeathed a large estate valued at uearly a quarter of a million dollars to the Ohio State University. On the first floor are three large lecture rooms and two other class­ rooms, the offices of the Dean and of the ecretary, and room of the Law Literary Society. On the second floor of the building, the law library is Melved in a fire-proof stack room capable of housing fifty thousand volumes. At each end of the building is a well-lighted read­ ing room communicating with the stack room. Large reading tables are provided for the accommodation of the studeuts. There is also a consulting room for the accommodation of students. LIBRARIES The Library of the College of Law contains the reports of the Federal Courts, the reports of all the states and territories, including also the Philippines,Hawaii,Porto Rico and Alaska, the full reprint of the English Reports and Official English Reports since the period covered by the repriuts, Canadian Reports, Australian Commonwealth Reports, the National Reporter System, American Reports, American Decisions, American State Reports, Lawyers' Reports Annotated, American and English Annotated CRies, American Bankruptc} Reports, Interstate Commerce Reports, the Statutes and Digests of all the States, of Canada and England, the standard Legal Encyclopedias and General Digest, standard Legal Periodicals, and about one thou­ sand well selected treatises. The Noble Law Library and the Emer­ son McMillin Library are included in the above enumeration. At present the library contains abont 14,000 volumes, and large addi­ tions are being made annually. The following libraries are also accessible to the student: The University Library contains about II4,000 volumes of care­ fully selected books upon all subjects. This is quite complete iu the most recent standard works upon history and political science, philOSo- COLLEGE OF LAW 7 phy, etc. A good collection of the leading scientific, technical, and literary magazines and journals is to be found here. The State Law Library of over 35,000 volumes is the largest and most complete law library in the State, and ranks among the best in the United States. It contains all the American Reports (Federal and State), Decisions, Digests. and Statute Laws, and keeps abreast of the publication of current text-books, books of reference, and leading law periodicals. The deparllpent of English, Scotch, Irish, and British Colonial Decisions is well cared for and growing yearly more compre­ hen ive. About 800 volumes have been added to the Library annually for the last few years, among the recent additions being about 100 vol­ ume of Aus~ralian and Canadian Law Reports formerly missing from the catalogue. This library is located in the new State Judiciary Build­ ing in the grounds of the State Capitol, and many students avail them­ selves of its privileges. It is open every week-day, except Saturday, from 8:30 to 5 o'clock; on Saturday it closes to the public at noon. The State Library, in the State House, is a library of general Iiter­ ature, history, science, biography, political and social science, philos­ ophy, etc., comprising over I75,ooo volumes.

The Public School Library, with over 81 ,000 volumes, is open to students of the niversity.

  • Those Who Set the Stage to Understand the 1916 Rising and The
    3.0 Those who Set the Stage To understand the 1916 Rising and the motivation and points of view of the participants it is necessary to study the political, social, cultural and intellectual background. Most of the personalities reviewed in this section did not take part in the Rising - many of them were absolutely opposed - but all contributed directly or indirectly. Since the time of Parnell constitutional nationalists aimed at securing Home Rule, that is, a limited measure of self-government to be exercised through a parliament in Dublin. Following the general elections of 1910, the nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party led by John Redmond held the balance of power in the House of Commons, a position which enabled them to force Asquith’s Liberal government to address the issue of Home Rule for Ireland. The House of Lords was implacably opposed, but their power of veto over legislation was drastically curbed by the Parliament Act (1911). Faced with the prospect of Home Rule and an Irish parliament in which they would be outnumbered by Catholic nationalists, the Protestant Ulster unionists, led by Sir Edward Carson and James Craig, reacted strongly. In September 1912, over 200,000 men signed the Solemn League and Covenant pledging resistance to Home Rule. The following January, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) was established, a quota of 100,000 signatories of the Covenant soon being enrolled. In effect, the unionists established a private army to oppose the enactment or implementation of Home Rule - drilling was allowed provided it was authorised by two magistrates. 1 3.0 Those who set the stage When the government attempted to take action, fifty-eight senior army officers at army headquarters at the Curragh, Co.

    29004_U01.qxd 2/6/06 3:54 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 American Variety and/or Foreign Features The Throes of Film Distribution Imagine that you are a young woman who has decided to join one of your store clerk or stenographer friends going to the movies after work in down- town Des Moines, Iowa, in the spring of 1913. On Sunday, May 4, you read the Des Moines News and know what programs will be playing in at least four moving picture theaters that next week.1 On Tuesday, for instance, what are your choices? At the Casino (just opened in December) is Pathé’s Weekly (a newsreel), Essanay’s The Crazy Prospector, and Vitagraph’s Cinders. At the Fam- ily, Bison-101’s two-reel The Indian’s Secret and Billy’s First Quarrel. At the Unique, Majestic’s two-reel Children of St. Anne and Her Sister’s Secret. The Colonial has a special feature (running all week), the five-reel Satan or “The Drama of Humanity . from Creation to the present time.”2 Which theater you and your friend choose could depend on several factors, but, as a fre- quent moviegoer, you could count on familiarity and the relative quality of the variety programs at three of these theaters, each changed daily and sup- plied by a different film service or distributor: the Casino (General Film), the Family (Universal), and the Unique (Mutual). You also could be attracted, however, by Satan’s promotion as a sensational historical epic or by its nov- elty as a special feature (from Europe, no less), since the only previous film of four reels or more to play in the city was Queen Elizabeth, with Sarah

The celebrations and commemorative events that were held in Dublin in 2016 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising took place not on the Rising’s anniversary date (24th April), but almost a month earlier, on Easter weekend, 27th-28th March.1 In making that decision, clearly practical considerations were at work; but it was a symbolic gesture too, recognising the powerful presence of ‘Easter’ in the Rising’s mythology.
