NOTES ON CURRENT'AND RECENT EVENTS. -ANTHROPOLOGY-PSYCHOLOGY-MEDIO-LEGAL. "The Concept of Penal Juridical Capacity."-Giovanni B. Mauro of the Royal University of Palermo contributes a long article to "II Progresso del Diritto Criminale" on "The Concept of Penal Juridical Capacity," which throws some much needed light upon the theory that underlies punishment for crime. upon the theory that ought to underlie punishment, and consequently upon the persons that should be subjected to punishment and the treatment that should be given to breakers of the law. He divides the subject into two parts: a discussion of the theory of penal law, and a detailed examination of the requisites of "penal juridical capacit%," as he calls the state of an individual who, the law recognizes, may be subjected to punishment. He presents, in opposition to the view of punishment as a means of social defense brought about by psychological compulsion, the individualistic view of punishment now so much agitated and making such rapid strides in the criminological and the penological fields.

Later authorities claim him to have been undoubtedly of Saxon origin and cite the rivers Leven in Cumber­ land and in Yorkshire with manorial estates of Levington, and that these manors drew this name from being situated on these rivers, and were owned by Saxons circa 851.

    FOUNDERS AND FUNDERS: Institutional Expansion and the Emergence of the American Cultural Capital 1840-1940 Valerie Paley Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Valerie Paley All rights reserved ABSTRACT Founders and Funders: Institutional Expansion and the Emergence of the American Cultural Capital 1840-1940 Valerie Paley The pattern of American institution building through private funding began in metropolises of all sizes soon after the nation’s founding. But by 1840, Manhattan’s geographical location and great natural harbor had made it America’s preeminent commercial and communications center and the undisputed capital of finance. Thus, as the largest and richest city in the United States, unsurprisingly, some of the most ambitious cultural institutions would rise there, and would lead the way in the creation of a distinctly American model of high culture. This dissertation describes New York City’s cultural transformation between 1840 and 1940, and focuses on three of its enduring monuments, the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Opera. It seeks to demonstrate how trustees and financial supporters drove the foundational ideas, day-to-day operations, and self- conceptions of the organizations, even as their institutional agendas enhanced and galvanized the inherently boosterish spirit of the Empire City. Many board members were animated by the dual impulses of charity and obligation, and by their own lofty edifying ambitions for their philanthropies, their metropolis, and their country. Others also combined their cultural interests with more vain desires for social status.

I tried to be assigned to the Embassy in Paris myself, and unable to do so, I decided to run for President. … The United States interest in France is not based on mere sentiment. I know it is customary on these visits to recall Lafayette and all the rest...Our interest here is more substantial, and I believe it goes to the common interests of both the United States and France. We are closely associated and are allies, because it helps to protect the interest of our country and because it protects the interests of freedom around the world. I do not believe that there is any Embassy in the world more important to the United States than the Embassy in Paris, because the influence of this city and country goes far beyond its borders” President John F.

  • The Harlan Fund
    THE HARLAN FUND Ira Brad Matetsky† S THIS JOURNAL HAS REPORTED, after Chief Justice Roger Taney died in 1864, members of the Supreme Court bar met to establish a fund – the “Taney Fund” – for the fi- nancial relief of his two surviving dependent daughters.1 ABut the embarrassing case of the Taney family did not result in any long-term legislative solution to the problem of survivors’ benefits at the Supreme Court. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Congress routinely passed private bills for the benefit of a deceased Justice’s widow – a “gratuity” equal to one year’s salary – as was often done for the widows of Members of Congress and some other high-ranking officeholders. But this was an uncertain and limited way of providing financial security for Justices’ survivors. Neverthe- less, Congress would not enact general legislation providing survi- vors’ benefits for widows of Justices until 1954.2 And it was not † Ira Brad Matetsky is a partner in the firm of Ganfer & Shore, LLP in New York. 1 Proceedings of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, February 1871 (pam- phlet), reprinted in 11 Green Bag 2d 373 (2008) (transcript of proceedings of a special meeting of the Supreme Court Bar convened “to take some action in refer- ence to a provision for the family of the late Chief Justice of the United States”).
