SPRING/SUMMER 2017 VOLUME 75 News from the Orchard From the President When we started the renovations of the two facilities, we knew we would be asking the community for a lot of support in a variety of ways. One part of that was on our move in day. The buildings were finally ready and we had lots of furniture and items to get in place. I knew it would be a lot of work, so I asked two groups for help. Word spread and I knew more people would be coming. The morning of move in day, I was out getting things ready with my son, Isaiah. We went to the parking lot a few minutes before I thought people would begin to arrive. The cars started rolling in and kept coming and coming. Isaiah asked, “How many people are coming?” I told him, “I thought 20 or 30”, we lost count at 60. One thing I should add is that close to the day I actually turned groups away and could have had 50 more people there, but I figured that we would have enough help. When I stood to address the group I was a little overwhelmed by seeing the entire parking lot full. We had planned to work the entire morning, but we were done in just a little more than an hour. Please know that we were very humbled and so grateful the amount support we received during the project.

McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science ARCHITECTURE IN BERLIN Northwestern University STUDenTS Learn FROM THE masTers FROM THE DEAN Greetings from McCormick. McCormick prides itself on providing its students a well-rounded education that encourages both analysis and creativity, a concept that we call “whole-brain engineering.” Nowhere is this more apparent than in two of our major initiatives: the Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Segal Design Institute. These two initiatives have established a culture of innovation that infuses every part of the school. From undergraduate and graduate design education, where students develop solutions to a wide range of problems (including, as highlighted in this issue, devices for patients at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) to entrepreneurship courses, funding, and incubator space, both faculty and students are provided the knowledge and support they need to innovate solutions for the world’s most pressing problems. In this issue we chart the course of these initiatives and show you some success stories. We also highlight how our research and education is making a local impact. Our Infrastructure Technology Institute is working with the Chicago Transit Authority to determine strain on a century-old bridge. They are using state-of-the-art sensors that provide insight into the structural health of the bridge. On our cover you can see a photo from our Architectural Engineering and McCormick magazine is published by the Robert R.

    Shifts in Protestant Worship and Doctrine – J

    Shifts in Protestant Worship and Doctrine – J. Stockton Shifts in Protestant Worship and Doctrine Pastor Jonathan Stockton 2017 BBTS Fall Lecture Series " Baptists and the Reformation" Protestant philosophy with respect to worship has been in flux for the past seventy years. Because of that, and in order to address shifts, a baseline must be established. A church's and a Christian's philosophy of music and worship should be doctrinal. That is, they should be sifted through the Scriptures just as any other dogma. For instance, the tongues movement, as a pneumatology, is contrasted to Scripture, and cast out. Calvinism, as a soteriology, is thrown against the castle wall of Scripture, and repelled. So there should be a "doctrine" of music! This is not "hymnology," which studies primarily the music used in worship, but a doctrine of music in its general use in the world, with or without lyrics. It might be called "psallology." It should be a Scriptural musicology. Perhaps to say that a philosophy of music and worship should be doctrinal is a misnomer – they seem to be so inherently, so that a church can often be identified by its music, and its music usually identified by its doctrine. Many would contest that statement, but even casual observation overwhelmingly supports it. I. Should Baptist churches be musical? God's churches are musical. A. Prophecy fulfilled shows that they were musical: 1. Romans 15:9-11 explains that Psalm 18:49-50 is a prophecy of the fact that Gentiles would sing the praises of God along with God's chosen people, because of His great mercy.

    Narrative, Interpretation and the Popular Song Keith Negus FINAL VERSION submitted to Musical Quarterly February 2012 (prior to editing for publication). This text includes a minor amendment to acknowledge the passing of Walter Becker. For the published version go here – https://academic.oup.com/mq/article-abstract/95/2- 3/368/1009964?redirectedFrom=fulltext The text includes lyrics from Kid Charlemagne Words and Music by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen Copyright © 1976 UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP. Copyright Renewed. All Rights Reserved. Used by Permission. Narrative, Interpretation and the Popular Song The value of narratives in human understanding of the world is widely recognized. The importance of narrative is apparent in varieties of everyday storytelling as well is in written fiction, drama, spectacle and ritual, visual art and film, architecture, legal proceedings, scientific reports and political theory, to provide a only partial list indicative of the range. Yet, the popular song - one of the most pervasive narrative forms that people encounter in their daily lives - has been almost entirely ignored in the vast literature on narrative.1 Whilst narratological methods have often featured in the interpretation of western art music2 and film music3, and although literary approaches to lyrics have sometimes emphasized a poetics of storytelling4, theories of narrative have rarely been foregrounded in the study of popular songs.5 In this article I will focus on narrative to explore practices of interpretation in both scholarship and everyday discussion about popular songs. I will emphasize the intersubjective interpretation of song meanings and advocate an “intercontextual” approach to the understanding of song narratives, drawing from research which emphasizes how our knowledge of the world is cumulative and always in a process of becoming through time.

I have always liked meat the best of all foods, and as a child I never wanted to eat my vegetables, other than the usual starchy things like bread and potatoes. As I grew out of my teens my weight suddenly shot up from 125 pounds to 186 in about six months. I was out on my own and trying to eat on the cheap, which naturally resulted in a rather carbohydrate-rich diet.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Salford Institutional Repository The social and (counter)cultural 1960s in the USA, transatlantically George McKay The movement was a loose coalition, and alliances often defined it. Students, clergy, intellectuals often marched first, and later they were joined by many others, from ecologists to hippies to women’s liberationists.… [W]hen cultural activists in Ann Arbor, Michigan, met [in 1969] to discuss drugs in the city representatives appeared from the White Panthers, Black Berets, God’s Children Motorcycle Club, the Sunnygoode Street Commune, and Congolian Maulers, a ‘commune of art, music, and general freaks’. Terry H. Anderson, The Movement and the Sixties (1995, xi) Hippies … constituted themselves as walking critiques of bureaucratic rationality.… By the late 1960s ‘freakified’ youth were exploring new aspects of self-hood which they had never previously thought existed. Indulgence in drug experiences, sex, communal activities, be-ins, sit-ins, demonstrations, riots, busts, trips with no destination in particular, not only gave subculture members a set of common experiences, but also opened up vast new capacities of self-hood for exploration. Daniel A. Foss and Ralph W. Larkin (1976, 47-50) In this chapter I want to look at the counterculture of the 1960s, primarily at the American phenomenon, with specific reference to political, social and cultural questions. I am conscious that these are not so easily distinguished—that, in fact, for many involved in the movement, it was a project precisely to blur or merge these categories. I hope to illustrate and interrogate some of those connections and tensions.
