KNEZ SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 39 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • SQUARE DANCE LOVERS the Following Responses
    SQUARE DANCE LOVERS The following responses were submitted for an article in the January 2012 Grand Square. Nancy (Caufield) and James Anderson Jefferson Township, NJ Current club: Reelers Former club: Lakeland Squares How did you start square dancing? Jim: Out in California. Nancy: I was given a pair of square dance shoes from my mother. Several years later when I was looking for something else in my life to do, I remembered those shoes and looked online for the nearest square dance club. Lakeland Squares was giving lessons and I signed up. Square dancing added the joy in my life that was missing. What year did you meet? Sept, 2007 And marry? May 29, 2011 We were married at the First Presbyterian Church of Berkshire Valley. We had pictures taken and a cocktail hour outside at our home. Luckily, it was a perfect day. Later, our two families had dinner at the New Orleans Restaurant. Circumstances of your meeting and dating? Nancy: Lakeland Squares was hosting its fall Barn Dance and I remember Jim walking in the front door. He was so-o-o tall and I remember saying to myself: “I like ‘tall!’” I walked up to him and asked if he would like to dance. He said “yes,” and the rest is history. Jim: Nancy was waiting to introduce herself to me while I was speaking to another member of Lakeland. There was definitely something intriguing about her. I remember thinking she must be an officer of the club. That feeling was confirmed when she seemed to “take me under her wing” for several dances.

On rare occasions the entire bridal party is introduced, but this tradition is becoming a thing of the past because of how much time it can take to round up and organize members of the bridal party. If you want to introduce more than just bride and groom, (see 3rd page), it is best to assign a person from your party to line everyone up to save precious time.

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.
