  • The Weekend of Invitation
    1 Reflections June - July 2018 Issue No 34 The Locum's Letter My Dear Friends, Someone said, ‘I’d rather be unhappy in Glasgow than happy anywhere else’! I think they meant that although life was not perfect in that great City, it was still the best place to be. The close friends of Jesus said something similar on one occasion. After a promising start when crowds of people followed him, disappointment set in, and many people who had become disaffected ‘no longer went about with him’, according to St John(St John 6: 66). When Jesus asked the twelve if they would also leave his side, the reply was, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go?’ Things were not great but they couldn’t see anything better elsewhere. Now, May is the month when the Church’s imperfections are placarded before the people of Scotland. The General Assembly meeting in Edinburgh will confirm that the Church is in a parlous state, weakened by falling membership, threatened by financial pressures and struggling to succeed in a secular society that needs neither faith nor Church. Sadly, among those who no longer need the Church or the faith, are those who once valued both. Like some of the first followers of Jesus they, ‘no longer go about with him’. The question we might ask is, ‘Who do they go about with now?' If you are someone who used to go to Church you might want to think about the question. No one knows the weakness of the Church better than those who live at the heart of it.

  • 'The Monuments of a Family': a Collection of Jewels Associated With
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 327–348 ‘The monuments of a family’: a collection of jewels associated with Elizabeth of Bohemia Athol Murray* ABSTRACT This paper examines the evidence of three lawsuits relating to the ownership and dispersal of a collection of jewels and plate associated with Elizabeth of Bohemia, daughter of James VI and I, and prints a contemporary inventory. The court of session records held by the National Archives of Scotland provide a vast but underused source for many aspects of Scottish life over the last five centuries. They are underused because of their bulk and lack of adequate indexes but a persistent researcher may be rewarded by a wealth of information on persons, places or events in the past. Nevertheless this source must be used with caution. As a 17th-century judge, Lord Stair, complained: It derogates much from the honour of the Session, and from the estimation and security of their decreets, and hinders the dispatch of justice, that all things (whether in matter of law or matter of fact) are congested in their decreets, which do contain the reiterated and various disputes and interlocutors, and the frequently repeated bills and answers and interlocutors thereupon inserted verbatim: whereby decreets arise to such a bulk and are so nauseous to the perusers of them, that they will exceed sometimes forty sheets of paper and more; and take a long time and expensive attendance, before such decreets can be extracted.1 These strictures apply to the records of the three cases on which the present paper is based.2 They record assertions rather than proved facts and, even where there seems to be agreement about facts, the parties’ lawyers have tried to interpret them in a manner favourable to their clients.

  • Alphabetical Index to Privately Deposited Records
    ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO PRIVATELY DEPOSITED RECORDS December 2007 Introduction Under the Public Records Act (Northern Ireland) the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) is permitted to accept into its care any record that it deems worthy of preservation, whether or not that record was generated by a Government Department or a Non-Departmental Public Body. This permission allows PRONI to accept records from private individuals, from businesses, charities, social and sporting organisations, religious bodies and political parties. All records donated are evaluated for their historical value and, if of sufficient importance, PRONI is happy to accept them, either as an outright gift, or as a long- term loan. Most of these records can be opened to the public immediately after they have been catalogued but, as in some cases the depositors retain control over access to their papers, not all privately deposited archives are open to the public. If you wish to access information in an archive which is closed to the public, you can make a request via the PRONI Records Management, Cataloguing and Access Team. ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO 'D', 'T' AND 'MIC' LISTS PLEASE NOTE: This alphabetical index has been produced from three numerical indexes of lists and not from the lists themselves. In order to produce a shorter and more compact index, lists with identical, or near-identical, titles have been grouped together – see, for example, the entry for Abercorn below. Users are warned that in some cases the groups of references may relate to more than one family with the same name. Similarly, because the titles of some of the earlier lists are inconsistent, uninformative or even misleading, it is possible that many such connections have not been made.

    History by Norbert Schoenauer Introduction University education of architects in North America began during the late 1860's and represented a new approach to professional training. William Baston Rogers, president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, established the first School of Architecture. From the beginning, when M.I.T.'s charter was granted in 1860, Rogers had included architecture in his plans for technical higher education, first, because he modeled M.I.T. on the German Polytechnic of Karlsruhe, and second, because, having taught for seventeen years at Jefferson's Charlottesville campus, he was appreciative of architecture. Rogers chose William Ware, a former student in Richard Morris Hunt's atelier, to head the new School. Ware began his teaching in 1868 after having studied European architectural education for a couple of years. The second school of architecture was established at the University of Illinois in 1867, and instruction commenced in January 1870. The first teacher at this school was James Bellangee who was a graduate in science and had but briefly worked in an architectural office in Chicago and, one and a half years later, the Swedish architect Harald M. Hansen, who had studied for two years at the BauAkademie in Berlin, was appointed to lead the school. Cornell University established its School of Architecture in 1871. This third school was headed by Charles Babcock, a pupil and son-in-law of British trained Richard Upjohn. During the following two decades, seven other new schools of architecture were founded in the U.S.A.: Syracuse University was fourth; University of Pennsylvania, fifth; University of Michigan, sixth; Columbia University, seventh; Columbia (later George Washington) University, eighth: Armour now Illinois) Institute of Technology, ninth; and Harvard University, tenth.' McGill University's School of Architecture was established one year after Harvard's in 1896.
