  • 'VETERINARY ART and SCIENCE' in EDINBURGH Alastair A
    EARLY TEACHING OF THE 'VETERINARY ART AND SCIENCE' IN EDINBURGH Alastair A. Macdonald and Colin M. Warwick INTRODUCTION The aim of this article is to present in more detail some of the factors which supported the establishment of veterinary education in Edinburgh. These events largely, though not exclusively took place in the years between 1805 and 1825. Wherever possible we have used the voices of those involved to tell the tale. The locations, in 1823 Edinburgh, of the places mentioned in the text are shown in Fig. 1 (page 228). Firstly, though, it may be helpful to mention the background context. Awareness of the need to train specialists to look after the illnesses and accidents among domestic livestock in the United Kingdom grew during the second half of the eighteenth century. For example: requests were made to th l George III (by Henry Herbert, the 10 Earl of Pembroke ); Edward Snape established a schooe at his 'Hippiatric Infirmary' in Knightsbridge in 1778; 4 books were written (e.g. Clark, 1770, 1775, 1788)3; proposals were published ,5 in 1784 by Mr de Verseilles, offering to transfer the French style of veterinary education to London; agricultural societies had begun to discuss the topic of 6 veterinary education (e.g. Odiham ); and travellers to and from France reported their positive impressions of the Veterinary Schools established there.? In Scotland several attempts were made during the late eighteenth century to raise sufficient awareness, interest and funding to generate support for the regular training of young men in veterinary medicine and surgery.8 Indeed, two short series of veterinary lectures were delivered in Scotland, by a French Royalist refugee called John Feron, one to the public in Edinburgh in July 1796 and the other to the local cavalry later that summer.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Studies in Scottish Literature by an authorized editor of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Ian Campbell A Tribute that Never Was: The Plan for A Lewis Grassic Gibbon Festschrift Hugh MacDiarmid received two telegrams on 8 February 1935, both with the same very bad news: Leslie Mitchell had died in London of peritonitis. One telegram came from Mrs. Mitchell in Welwyn Garden City, the other from their staunch mutual friend Helen Cruickshank in Edinburgh. In James Leslie Mitchell, better known under his pseudonym of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Scotland had lost one of its foremost men of letters, as author of Sunset Song one of its most popular writers of the century. The joint propulsion given to the renaissance of Scottish writing by the pseudonymous friendship of MacDiarmid and Gibbon would now have to come more singly from MacDiarmid, himself in 1935 at a low point in his own personal fortunes.

Complete Peer review History: http://www.sdiarticle4.com/review-history/58116 Received 10 April 2020 Accepted 16 June 2020 Original Research Article Published 23 June 2020 ABSTRACT This paper fills a gap in the historiography of Ghana’s modern art curricula. Between 1952 and the turn of the 20th century, the Kumasi College of Art (KNUST), operated two successive curriculum models, the “Art as Teacher Training” model and the “Art as Industrial, Commercial and Professional Enterprise model”. “The Art as Teacher Training” model, the emphasis of this paper, was administered by a team of British and African staff of “Art and Crafts” persuasion. The first decade (1952-1962), led by a Scottish regime of Glasgow Style extraction, upgraded an extant Specialist Art and Crafts Course to a Diploma in Fine Art programme. The study shows how the changing lessons of the Gold Coast and Ghana “School of Art and Crafts” curriculum in Kumasi intersected with the changing fortunes of metropolitan British art institutions such as the Glasgow School of Art (GSA), the Slade, and Royal College of Art (RCA).

  • The Politics of Self-Expression: the Urdu Middle-Class Milieu in Mid
    THE POLITICS OF SELF-EXPRESSION Middle-class political culture in interwar North India was haunted by fascistic resonances. Activists from various political camps believed in forms of Social-Darwinism, worshipped violence and war and focused their political action on public spectacles and paramilitary organization. This book argues that these features were part of a larger political culture – the politics of self-expression – that had lost sight of society as the normal space in which politics was to be conducted. Instead, there was an emphasis on the inner worlds of individuals who increasingly came to understand politics as an avenue to personal salvation. It proposes that this re-orientation of politics was the result of social transformations brought about by the coming of a consumer society. The politics of self-expression was fixated with matters related to political choices, the branding of clothes and bodies and the use of a political language that closely resembled advertising discourse. This study traces the socio-genesis of this new form of politics through a detailed analysis of material culture in the Urdu middle-class milieu. It examines how middle-class people arrived at their political opinions in consequence of how they structured their immediate spatial surroundings, and how they strove to define the experiences of their own bodies in a particularly middle-class way. The scope and arguments of this book make an innovative contribution to the historiography of modern South Asia. Markus Daechsel has studied history and political science at the University of Erlangen and the University of London. He is currently a lecturer of South Asian History at the University of Edinburgh.
