  • Hall of Merit
    VOL 36, NUMBER 2 SPRING 2016 Hall of Merit The Hall of Merit was established in 1984. Since its inception, forty-four alumni and associates have been inducted into the Hall. The stories of their lives tell of incredible service to humanity, a service that cuts a swath through all segments of society. One of the criteria for induction into the Hall is the Loyola spirit of “living for others” and when one reflects on the lives of the inductees, it is an encouragement to all of us to get involved --- a call to not just mouth the platitudes but, through our actions, to be there for those in need. These men and women are wonderful role models for our students who continually hear the phrase “men and women for others”. What better venue for them to learn about the meaning of these words than to hear firsthand, that there are many individuals in the Loyola Community whose lives are lived in the service of others. It had been a number of years since the Hall had accepted any new members. Last year, a committee was established to restart the process. A call went out to the Loyola Community to send recommendations for induction into the Hall. The response was wonderful. There was an impressive number of individuals who stood out and three were chosen. They were presented to the student body at an assembly in May of 2015. However, there were still a number of outstanding individuals on that list who deserved induction. Accordingly, five additional individuals were chosen for induction this year.

  • 5. River Almond Most of the 45Km Length of the River Is in West Lothian
    5. River Almond Most of the 45km length of the river is in West Lothian, but its source and its mouth are not. While searching for the former, I took the photograph alongside, looking north from the first bridge over the river, on the B717. The little stream is emerging from scrubby woodland, and has probably travelled little more than a few hundred metres from its source. Doubt as to the exact location arises from the inaccessibility of the woodland, confusing aspects of maps, and mostly the nature of the ground. The area, usually described as on the slopes of Hirst Hill, is being reclaimed after mining, and is riddled with interconnecting drainage ditches and ponds, some of which appear to link to the nascent river. There is a watershed here, with water flowing east and west, but its location may well have been shifted by the mining operations. My best guess is that the source of the River Almond is just east of the B7057 (Shotts Road), at Grid Reference NS 877 629, but others could justifiably see things slightly differently. The point is a bit more than a kilometre north of the small town of Shotts in North Lanarkshire, a slightly shorter distance south of the M8, and just below the 250m contour. Shotts was a small village in medieval times, allegedly notorious in the late-14th century as the lair of a robber with a giant’s stature, Bartram de Shotts, who preyed upon travellers on the nearby track between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Eventually, he was outlawed, and killed, possibly after being tricked by a certain William Muirhead, yet the village was in after-years known as Bertramshotts, suggesting that locals took a more favourable view of his exploits.

    Pi for Empowerment: Using Raspberry Pi Technology to Disseminate Mental Health Information Amongst Nunavummiut Girls and Women Aristi Constantopoulos, Eleanor Fenner, Julia MacDonald Edström, Dalia Vita Villa Maria High School © Aristi Constantopoulos, Eleanor Fenner, Julia MacDonald Edström, Dalia Vita, 2018 This paper was written as an entry in the Olympes de la Parole Competition run by the University Women’s Club of Montreal.

We chose to research the main issues affecting girls and women in Nunavut. This project will, therefore, examine how these issues are preventing the empowerment of these Nunavummiut girls and women, and what new technologies can be used to aid these issues. The qualitative research we gathered, which includes an interview with Trina Qaqqaq, many news articles and statistics, all which reveal that a large problem that is facing the population is lack of awareness about mental health. This lack of awareness feeds into other issues such as high suicide rates, many cases of domestic abuse, substance abuse, and problems related to sexual health.

  • The Ancient Sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville*
    Proc SocAntiq Scot, 117 (1987), 233-264, fiche 3: A2-G14 The ancient sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville* SUMMARY Scotland has a rich heritage of Renaissance' sundials which are more numerous than in any other country. These are free-standing stone sculptures dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with many dials inscribed on them, often in shapes which may have symbolic significance. A catalogue has been prepared including those which have been recorded in the past and have now disappeared, as well as those which still survive. The various types are described and comparisons made with those in other countries, showing the unique character of the Scottish style. The reasons for their appearance in Scotland at this time are first of all material: more stable government and increased prosperity led to the building of mansion houses with pleasure gardens. Secondly, the Calvinist philosophy of the time frowned on decoration for its own sake and required function as well. Thirdly, interest in science was increasing, along with the Renaissance interest in re-discovering the esoteric knowledge of the ancients. In addition, freemasonry may have had its beginnings in Scotland in the late 16th century and certainly assumed considerable importance in the 17th; this is unlikely to be mere coincidence and the dials probably had a significance which went well beyond simple time-keeping. The main listing of the catalogue is given in microfiche form, but summaries are printed. CONTENTS PRINTED SECTION Introduction ............... 234 Description of the dials ............. 235 History and continental influences ........... 246 Symbolism ............... 251 Conclusions ............... 254 The Catalogue .............
