  • THE CLASS of of the City University of New York May 28, 2020 2020 1
    Herbert H. Lehman College THE CLASS OF of The City University of New York May 28, 2020 2020 1 Dear Class of 2020: As I write this, I am reflecting on the 2018 Winter Olympics. I remember being impressed by the vignettes highlighting the personal sacrifice and commitment that led some of the most admired and talented athletes in the world to the medal stand. Those traits – sacrifice and commitment – came to mind when I thought about your graduating class of more than 3500 students. Though you did not have the privilege those Olympic athletes enjoyed to devote themselves completely to just one thing, you have shown, especially in the months leading up to this moment, that you share the same kind of commitment and sacrifices needed to help you take your place among champions. While studying, many of you have worked several part-time jobs, caring for children and relatives, commuting many hours to and from classes. Without the benefit of a financial safety net, you have also now managed to complete the disrupted term of spring term, often with inadequate internet access and with multiple challenges compounded by stay-at-home restrictions. What you have achieved would be admirable in any context but in the context of 2020, it is phenomenal. Nearly 40 percent of you have lost your jobs and critical income this spring. Some of you have battled COVID-19 yourselves, and far too many of you have friends and loved ones coping with COVID-19. It grieves me to say that at least two of your peers lost the fight with coronavirus, with the Bronx being one of the counties hardest-hit by the pandemic in the country.

Boston Book Fair 2019 – Part 1 2 [email protected] Wild and wonderful ! The imagery is eye catching in many ways. About two thirds of the collection is advertising graphics with the remainder being 19th and early 20th sheet music. The history of printing][ graphic arts and historically significant images were considerations when building the collection. The advertising ephemera is 90% American with international exemplary. The 19th C sheet music is predominantly from 1859-1879 and 60% American and 30% British. Although predominantly lithograph, there are some earlier engraved pieces included in the collection. Condition is very good to excellent. The imagery is striking and finest to outrageous and formidable. Topic by design, 40% of the collection is comprised of the primary categories of Tobacco, Social History, Sports, Fantasy and Food and Wine. That said the materials cross many categories.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository THE CHRISTIAN SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF HINDUISM, 1940-1956: INTERRELIGIOUS ENGAGEMENT IN MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY INDIA by RICHARD LEROY HIVNER Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject RELIGIOUS STUDIES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: DR M CLASQUIN JUNE 2011 Acknowledgements This thesis is deeply indebted to many individuals, both historical and contemporary, who have lived in nebulous areas on the borderlands of Hinduism and Christianity. Some of them would object even to this illustration of their engagement with what have come to be understood as two different world religions, and perhaps they are better described as pilgrims in uncharted territory. Nonetheless, my debt and gratitude, particularly to those I am privileged to call friends. Many librarians and archivists have been helpful and generous in my researches over the years. Related to this thesis, particular thanks are due to the librarians and archivists at the United Theological College in Bangalore, the archivists of the CMS collection at the University of Birmingham, and the librarians and archivists at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. The late Fr. James Stuart of the Brotherhood House in Delhi provided access to books and abundant encouragement, and his successors there have continued to provide hospitable access. Thanks are also due to Bishop Raphy Manjaly and Rev. Joseph D’Souza of the diocese of Varanasi of the Roman Catholic Church for making copies of The Pilgrim in their possession available to me.

  • “Garden Suburb” and the Golden Age of Germantown Meeting, 1815 - 1906 Randal Whitman 2020
    Germantown, the “Garden Suburb” And the Golden Age of Germantown Meeting, 1815 - 1906 Randal Whitman 2020 The nineteenth century was very good to Germantown as it transformed itself into a highly desirable, wealthy suburb of Philadelphia. The century would turn out to be very good for Germantown Preparative Meeting (GPM) also, and indeed may be considered Germantown Meeting’s “Golden Age,” as measured by wealth and numbers. However, the century would not start that way, especially for Friends. American Quakers generally, and especially in Philadelphia, had been devastated by the Revolutionary War, experiencing physical and economic privations and social hostilities that they were ill-equipped to deal with. Following the war, however, the worst of the hostility relaxed. Ironically, their only legal problems, were the post-war legal attacks by a group calling themselves “Free Quakers,” led by Timothy Matlack1, most of whom had been disowned by their meetings for one reason or another (mostly related to Peace testimony) during the war. They now sued Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM), claiming a right to use Quaker buildings because they had been deprived of these rights by “unpatriotic” and “traitorous” Friends. Philadelphia Friends won these challenges mainly because the post-war government in Pennsylvania was no longer driven by the “patriots,” but more moderate Democratic-republicans and Whigs, such as their former member Thomas Mifflin, the first post-war Governor of the state. The judiciary, too, awarded Friends some recompense for unfair and immoderate fines levied during the war. Thus, Friends were able, if a little cautiously, to begin to reassemble their former lives.
