Suzanne Jagel O'Brien '59 Papers On board the Flandre: 25 septembre 1957 Dear Mom and Dad, Rolling back and forth here, I cannot guarantee the looks of this letter. Yesterday was beautiful. We went in to eat shortly after the last goodbye to the city of N.Y. Now I see why they say the French Line is known for its food. There is a menu, but this just tells you the names of all you eat. Starting with hors d'oeuvres, you go on down through soup, fish, main dish, salad (eggs back a bit), cheese, pastry, coffee, and fruit (to eat between meals). I'm determined to get to like the coffee, but as of now, it bears a strange resemblance (the ship rolled more than usual) to turpentine. We spent most of the afternoon sunning ourselves on the deck chairs. Got myself a burn. We don't eat dinner till 8:30-- and finish about 10:15! Considering that we must put our watches ahead every night, this is rather late. Spent a while on deck after dinner. Perfectly beautiful star filled sky. Hooded coat great! Slept well. Felt like the ship was a big cradle, rocking me to sleep. Today is quite dreary and a little rougher, tho' still quite smooth. Nevertheless, we spent the blowy morning on the deck chairs wrapped in heavy blankets. Boullion and crackers served to us there. Have met many people. French people talk French to us and are very helpful. 80 Fulbrights aboard! People really nice. Everything's quite informal and friendly. One of our roommates is from Virginia- thick southern accent. The other is a French middle-aged woman who speaks no English. Don't see her much as she's with her French friends most of the time. Writing almost illegible. I'd better stop. Nothing more to say after only 24 hrs. on board. Much love, Sue P.S. American Express 11 rue Scribe Paris, FRANCE On board "le Flandre," 29 septembre Dear Parents, 2 NOTICE: This material is protected by copyright law (Title 17 US Code) Originals in University of Rochester Rare Books & Special Collections. Not to be reproduced without permission. Suzanne Jagel O'Brien '59 Papers Tomorrow we'll be in England and the next day in France, and what a marvelous trip we've been having. The weather, as far as the ocean waves are concerned, has been extraordinary and the sun shines quite a bit too. The last few days have been exciting, though not restful. Today is Sunday. Friday, I'll briefly describe my adventures. Dinner to movies (French) to Bingo game. Sat there with Bobbie and two men we've been sort of seeing. Both are Fulbright winners going to Paris. "Bobbie's" is in English lit and "mine" is in law. Both are very nice, but we're not interested. Les, "my" boy, won 8000 francs ($20) in the Bingo game. Came to the cocktail lounge to celebrate (me with a ginger ale). Played hearts until about 2, when about 30 of us there started singing. This continued till 4:30. Decided to go (illegally) to the bow deck and (illegally) had to go through 1st class quarters to get there. Were greeted on deck by a ferocious blast of the fog horn which nearly knocked us overboard. Finally found our way back down and started a meeting in the lounge. Decided to stay up all night. Elected Bobbie first commissar and she led the whole thing. She's well-liked by everybody on board. Quite a girl. Played silly games till breakfast at 7:30 then fell heavily to bed. Arose at 2 on Saturday and slept on deck and fiddled around till dinner. The Captain's Dinner-- dress affair. Delectable food, as usual. Went to the movies (Disney true-life fantasy- Perri). Met our Fulbrights, went for a drink (7-Up for me) and then to the "gala dance." Danced and clowned around till 4. By this time, Syl met her own Fulbright. They're a dime a dozen on board and we all feel rather stupid not having one (fellowship, not men). At 4 we left our companions who presumably went to bed. We wandered around deck, and met some other people. Dad-- I've met someone who looks like Louis Jourdan, is extremely nice, the only hitch being that he's studying to be an R.C. priest. Too bad. Womenkind should mourn. Anyway, at 4 o'clock we met this priest-to-be who tried to convince us to stay up again. He had the night before but was again. Oh, this shipboard life! We made it till 6 o'clock, then just staggered to bed, to arise today at noon. Don't imagine we'll do that again. Have just been chased off the deck by the rain. Might go back to check conditions now. Write! Much love, your tired daughter, Sue Oct. I WRITE TO ME AT THE AMERICAN EXPRESS. PLEASE SEND LETTERS TO BOB & NAN. Dear Mom and Dad - Our first day a Paris! C' est magnifique. I've never had so much happen in one day. Arose at 5 to pack my bags which I as usual let go to the last minute. We ate at 6:30 this morning, as we had been in port half the night. About midnight last night we came toLe Havre. 3 NOTICE: This material is protected by copyright law (Title 17 US Code) Originals in University of Rochester Rare Books & Special Collections. Not to be reproduced without permission. Suzanne Jagel O'Brien '59 Papers Our "group" (Bobbie, Syl, myself and the 3 Fulbrights) watched all the activities, then went to bed at an early 1:30. Oh what a life. After goodbye's and passport inspection, we walked from the ship to the train, which was waiting right there. A real foreign-intrigue type, complete with compartments. Our trip was beautiful, as we passed through bright green farms which were spotted with farmhouses and each one of which had a garden. Even saw a beautiful rainbow, evidently there just to welcome us to Ia belle France. Miss Hill, the French teacher from the U of R, met us at le Gare St. Lazare - very kind of her. B. and I got a taxi to take us to our hotel, and we conversed in French with him as he took us through Paris. It was unbelievable-- PARIS! The hotel, though called the Grand Hotel Moderne, is hardly that, but it meets our needs. It seems they turn the lights out in the hall at 8 o'clock, as electricity is expensive here, so we had quite the time finding the john. Once we got there, we discovered that the French consider ripped-up newspaper-- like that for Henry-- as a unique substitute for toilet paper. When we returned here tonight, we couldn't figure out the lock situation. After a confused consultation with the concierge (hotel keeper) who speaks only French, we discovered that .3. turns plus a violent shove proves to be the key! This afternoon was really marvelous. B. and I set out from here (which is nicely located on the left bank) to the Boulevard Saint Michel to find somewhere to eat. Stopped at a genuine sidewalk cafe, inhabited by genuine Frenchmen. Asked a "flic" (slang for gendarme) directions to La Place de I' Opera because we were headed for the American Express. We didn't have the slightest notion how to board a bus, but met a very nice man who spoke English. He told us about the necessary tickets, etc., and gave us a description of the passing buildings. Saw the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomph, le Sacre Coeur, and the Madeleine from a distance. At the American Express B. received rather disquieting news. It seems that the owner of the Paris house (Alex only rents it) wishes to build another room over the master bedroom. What with dust, hammering, and carpenters during the day, it seems rather doubtful if we'll be able to live there, at least now. We'll see Alex in about a week and find out definitely then. Now we're keeping our eyes open, and are not particularly worried. I'm sure God won't leave us stranded in Paris. Off that subject. On the bus on the way back we met more wonderful people. Our struggling French, which we speak 90o/o of the time, attracts their sympathy, it seems. They also acted as guides -- really marvelous. Met Syl, and ate in a restaurant near here. Struck up a conversation with the woman next to us (in French, naturellement). She speaks French excellently but was raised in Rome, NY. She is inquiring about rooms for us. She went way out of her way to answer our many questions. Our French has improved very much just today. We are very optimistic. Tomorrow we register for the ESPPPFE. Can't tell you how happy I am. Much, much love, Sue 4 NOTICE: This material is protected by copyright law (Title 17 US Code) Originals in University of Rochester Rare Books & Special Collections.

Pulselli, Riccardo M. Pulselli, Nicoletta Patrizi and Nadia Marchettini ABSTRACT The paper presents the results of a project on the Province of Florence (Italy), investigating the availability and use of water resources by emergy evaluation. The study is devoted to the analysis of the watershed of the Sieve River, tributary of River Arno that feeds Florence and its surroundings. Along the river an artificial basin has been created by means of the Bilancino dam to preserve water quantity and quality, and to protect the Florentine area from dangerous periodical inundations. Different specific emergies of water can be identified along the course of the river, especially before and after the Bilancino dam. The aqueduct system of the province of Florence is fed by several rivers and torrents. Here we consider Stura, Sieve and Arno rivers. It is fragmented and divided into many subsystems, slightly interacting with each other.

  • Documents from the Archive of Scuola Normale Superiore Presented By
    Exposition - documents from the archive of Scuola Normale Superiore Presented by: Alberto Lusiani - Physics researcher at SNS Maddalena Taglioli - Head archivist at SNS Chiara Visentin – SNS Student, Virtual Immersion in Science Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa was formally founded in 1810, by a Napoleonic decree which dealt with “places of public instruction” in Tuscany, part of the French empire since 1807 and referred to as the departments of Arno, Ombrone and Mediterraneo in the terminology used in revolutionary France at that time. Scuola Normale was to be a subsidiary of École Normale Supérieure of Paris, granting 25 publicly funded places, for students in the humanities and sciences. Scuola Normale began operating in 1813 and only for one year, as in April 1814 Napoleon was forced to abdicate. “Normale” refers to the mission of the school, which was to train middle and high school teachers able to convey “norms” in a context where training teachers was connected to “forming” citizens loyal to the laws and the emperor. Scuola Normale and École Normale did not initially have the denomination “Superiore / Supérieure”. In France, after the institution of the “Écoles Normales primaries” in 1845, the School was denominated “École Normale Supérieure”. In 1846, the grand duke of Tuscany, Leopold III, established the “Scuola Normale Toscana”, also called the “ Scuola Normale of the Imperial Reign” - as it was then connected to the “Theoretical and Practical” Austro-Hungarian system – designed “to train teachers and masters for secondary schools”. After the Italian unifcation, the “Scuola Normale of the Kingdom of Italy” was formally established in 1862.

  • ABSTRACT WHAT IF YOU're LONELY: JESSICA STORIES By
    ABSTRACT WHAT IF YOU’RE LONELY: JESSICA STORIES by Michael Stoneberg This novel-in-stories follows Jessica through the difficulties of her early twenties to her mid- thirties. During this period of her life she struggles with loneliness and depression, attempting to find some form of meaningful connection through digital technologies as much as face-to-face interaction, coming to grips with a non-normative sexuality, finding and losing her first love and dealing with the resultant constant pull of this person on her psyche, and finally trying to find who in fact she, Jessica, really is, what version of herself is at her core. The picture of her early adulthood is drawn impressionistically, through various modes and styles of narration and points of view, as well as through found texts, focusing on preludes and aftermaths and asking the reader to intuit and imagine the spaces between.
