The Dr. Alister Mackenzie Chronology (2018)
The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology th The 20 Revision October 2018 The MacKenzie Chronology Project The Project In the late 1990’s Nick Leefe and Bob Beck launched an effort to document the physical presence and movements of the great architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 20th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and once again expands upon the previous revision. Why are MacKenzie’s whereabouts important? A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too-common and unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship is impoverished. The ramifications can be significant - original design features and perhaps entire courses disappear or suffer disfiguration, writings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, attributions are missed or made improperly. As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we suffer.

Uaunton BARNICOTT &- PEARCE, ATHEN^UM PRESS 1907 BARNICOTT AND PEARCE PRINTERS Preface. T is usual to write something as a preface, and this generally appears to be to make some excuse for having written at all. In a pre- face to Tom Toole and his Friends — a very interesting book published a few years ago, by Mrs. Henry Sandford, in which the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, together with the Wedgwoods and many other eminent men of that day figure,—the author says, on one occasion, when surrounded by old letters, note books, etc., an old and faithful servant remon- " " strated with her thus : And what for ? she " demanded very emphatically. There's many a hundred dozen books already as nobody ever reads." Her hook certainly justified her efforts, and needed no excuse. But what shall I say of this } What for do 1 launch this little book, which only refers to the parish ot Mylor ^ vi Preface. The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng- land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en- deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities. -

Barker Fairley (1887-1986) Brief Biography
Barker Fairley (1887-1986) Brief biography Artist, writer, scholar, teacher and poet Barker was born in 1887 on Park Road, Barnsley to Barker and Charlotte Fairley. Barker Snr. came from the north east to be master then head of St. John's School Barnsley, a post he held for nearly forty years. Educated at St. Johns, Leeds Central High School, Leeds and Jena Universities, Barker spent his adult life in Canada becoming Professor of German at the University of Toronto and the foremost authority on Goethe of his day. But there was more to Barker than brilliant scholarship. As Canada strove to find its own identity, Barker's other great talents began to flourish. Recognizing the birth of a new country he saw that art would give that country its own identity away from European traditions and he became a supporter, promoter and friend of a group of artists called The Group of Seven. This group, exhibiting as a group for the first time in 1920, portrayed Canada's landscape in stark reality. Barker's articles about the group, particularly in “The Canadian Forum” a magazine he co-founded, and his support at the University helped the group achieve international success. He has been called the ninth member of the Group of Seven. The work of the group was the subject of a major exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in 2011. Barker married firstly, Margaret Keeling the daughter of the Headmaster of Bradford Grammar School. Margaret was a writer, educator and political activist who was deported from the U.S.A. -

May 2005 the Canadian Quandary Introduction by William Watson
Draft: May 2005 The Canadian Quandary Introduction by William Watson1 What a treat is in store for readers of these essays. Harry Gordon Johnson was one of the best economists of the 1950s and 1960s, not just in Canada but worldwide. Had he not died young, in 1977, only 17 days short of his 54th birthday, he might have won the Nobel Prize. And yet he was also a controversialist of the first rank. When he chose to be “unbuttoned,” as he put it, he wrote with a caustic and dismissive elegance. In some passages of The Canadian Quandary it is as if H. L. Mencken has left Baltimore and come to Canada to take up economics. In this collection of Johnson’s Canadian writings from the Diefenbaker years, 1957 to 1963, the most frequent victims of his derision are Canadian economic nationalists, led in that era by Walter Gordon, Lester Pearson’s first finance minister and author of the Gordon Royal Commission Report of 1957. For most non-economist readers it is as a contribution to the postwar debate on Canadian nationalism that this volume will mainly be of interest. Although the nationalists’ views eventually came to dominate Canada’s universities, economics departments sometimes excepted, and influence the Trudeau government, when they were first bruited, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, they were frequently opposed. Johnson was one of their strongest critics. The heyday of left-wing nationalism is now past, of course. Trudeau’s National Energy Policy and Foreign Investment Review Agency have long since been dismantled or neutered. -
Sir Henry Newbolt 1862-1938 ©Wiltshire OPC Project/Linda
Sir Henry Newbolt 1862-1938 Sir Henry Newbolt was born In Bilston, Staffordshire on 6th June 1862, the son of Rev. Henry Francis & Emily Newbolt. He was just four years old when his father died. At the age of 10 Henry was sent to a boarding school in Lincolnshire, from where he won a scholarship to Clifton College. He later went to Corpus Christi College, Oxford and began a legal career, practising at the Chancery Bar from 1887 to 1889. He was a lawyer, novelist, and playwright and wrote many poems. His most famous work was Vitai Lampada. He was employed by the Government during WWI to serve on the War Propaganda Bureau to encourage the public to support the war. He subsequently became Controller of Telecommunications at the Foreign Office. His poems about the war include "The War Films", printed on the leader page of The Times on 14 October 1916, which seeks to temper the shock effect on cinema audiences of footage of the Battle of the Somme. He also wrote a paper in 1921 for the government, which established the foundation for modern English studies and professionalised the forms of teaching English literature. Sir Henry Newbolt lived for many years at Netherhampton House with his wife Margaret. His granddaughter Jill Furse married Rex Whistler’s brother Laurence. He was knighted in 1915. Newbolt died at his home in Campden Hill, Kensington, London, on 19 April 1938, aged 75. A blue plaque there commemorates his residency. He is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's church on an island in the lake on the Orchardleigh Estate of the Duckworth family in Somerset. -
Two out of Three Ain't Bad | the Economist
Two out of three ain’t bad | The Economist 26.8.16 10:51 The Mundell-Fleming trilemma Two out of three ain’t bad A fixed exchange rate, monetary autonomy and the free flow of capital are incompatible, according to the last in our series of big economic ideas Aug 27th 2016 | From the print edition HILLEL THE ELDER, a first-century religious leader, was asked to summarise the Torah while standing on one leg. “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary,” he replied. Michael Klein, of Tufts University, has written that the insights of international macroeconomics (the study of trade, the balance-of-payments, exchange rates and so on) might be similarly distilled: “Governments face the policy trilemma; the rest is commentary.” The policy trilemma, also known as the impossible or inconsistent trinity, says a country must choose between free capital mobility, exchange-rate management and monetary autonomy (the three corners of the triangle in the diagram). Only two of the three are possible. A country that wants to fix the value of its currency and have an interest-rate policy that is free from outside influence (side C of the triangle) cannot allow capital to flow freely across its borders. If the exchange rate is fixed but the country is open to cross-border capital flows, it cannot have an independent monetary policy (side A). And if a country chooses free capital mobility and wants monetary autonomy, it has to allow its currency to float (side B).
