    2nd INFANTRY REGIMENT 1110 pages (approximate) Boxes 1243-1244 The 2nd Infantry Regiment was a component part of the 5th Infantry Division. This Division was activated in 1939 but did not enter combat until it landed on Utah Beach, Normandy, three days after D-Day. For the remainder of the war in Europe the Division participated in numerous operations and engagements of the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe campaigns. The records of the 2nd Infantry Regiment consist mostly of after action reports and journals which provide detailed accounts of the operations of the Regiment from July 1944 to May 1945. The records also contain correspondence on the early history of the Regiment prior to World War II and to its training activities in the United States prior to entering combat. Of particular importance is a file on the work of the Regiment while serving on occupation duty in Iceland in 1942.

  • EQUAL STATUS, 1946–1948 When, in November 1946, the Canadian
    CHAPTER FOUR EQUAL STATUS, 1946–1948 When, in November 1946, the Canadian prime minister, Mackenzie King, called for talks on the of\ ce of high commissioner, Britain launched a ‘diversionary attack’1 on what she perceived to be its incumbents’ ‘weakest ank’: she suggested that ‘all troubles will be over’ if they were given the title ‘excellency’.2 Apart from Ireland, who was already addressing high commissioners in this way, none of the dominions welcomed Britain’s move. Until recently, only their governors-general (together with the British high commissioner for Bechuanaland, Basu- toland, and Swaziland) had been so styled. The arrival of an Ameri- can ambassador in Ottawa at the end of 1943 had led to Canada’s speedy adoption of what had by then become the common practice of bestowing ‘excellency’ not only on ambassadors but also on lower- ranking ministers plenipotentiary (who headed legations).3 But she was reluctant to have any more excellencies in Ottawa. Also, like Australia, she thought Britain’s proposal did not address the fundamental problem of the status of high commissioners, and was unlikely to remove confu- sion about the nature of the of\ ce. New Zealand said it ‘would detract in the minds of the public in the Dominions from the signi cance’ of using this title for the governor-general.4 Nor did South Africa like the suggestion. The British high commissioner there ‘only rarely’ functioned in his gubernatorial capacity5 (and was therefore seldom called ‘excel- lency’); the Union had not followed the fashion of addressing heads 1 Lester Pearson (under-secretary, DEA)-Norman Robertson (Canadian HC, London), 28 November 1946, DCER 12, 1496.

    University Archives Inventory Record Group Number: UR001.03 Title: Burney Lynch Parkinson Presidential Records Date: 1926-1969 Bulk Date: 1932-1952 Extent: 42 boxes Creator: Burney Lynch Parkinson Administrative/Biographical Notes: Burney Lynch Parkinson (1887-1972) was an educator from Lincoln, Tennessee. He received his B.S. from Erskine College in 1909, and rose up the administrative ranks from English teacher in Laurens, South Carolina public schools. He received his M.A. from Peabody College in 1920, and Ph.D. from Peabody in 1926, after which he became president of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC in 1927. He was employed as Director of Teacher Training, Certification, and Elementary Education at the Alabama Dept. of Education just before coming to MSCW to become president in 1932. In December 1932, the university was re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ending the crisis brought on the purge of faculty under Governor Theodore Bilbo, but appropriations to the university were cut by 54 percent, and faculty and staff were reduced by 33 percent, as enrollment had declined from 1410 in 1929 to 804 in 1932. Parkinson authorized a study of MSCW by Peabody college, ultimately pursuing its recommendations to focus on liberal arts at the cost of its traditional role in industrial, vocational, and technical education. Building projects were kept to a minimum during the Parkinson years. Old Main was restored and named for Mary Calloway in 1938. Franklin Hall was converted to a dorm, and the Whitfield Gymnasium into a student center with the Golden Goose Tearoom inside. Parkinson Hall was constructed in 1951 and named for Dr.

  • UNITED NATIONS E Economic and Social Council Distr. GENERAL 10
    UNITED E NATIONS Economic and Social Council Distr. GENERAL 10 December 1946 CND Res.9(I). Procedure for future appointments to the Permanent Central Opium Board On 3 October 1946,*/ the Economic and Social Council adopted a resolution requesting the Commission on Narcotic Drugs to advise the Council as to the procedure to be followed in making future appointments to the Permanent Central Opium Board created under the Convention of 19 February 1925. The Commission examined carefully this question at its meetings of 6 and 9 December 1946. In the light of past experience, and guided by the provisions of article 19 of the Geneva Convention of 19 February 1925, the Commission has formulated the following recommendations: (1) The Commission recommends that the Economic and Social Council, at its first session following the entry into force of the amendments to the Convention of 19 February 1925 as set forth in the annex to the protocol amending the agreements, conventions and protocols on narcotic drugs signed on 11 December 1946, request the Secretary-General to invite the parties to this Convention each to submit to him the names of two persons satisfying the conditions of article 19 of this Convention. This article as amended by the above-mentioned protocol reads as follows: "The Central Board shall consist of eight persons who, by their technical competence, impartiality and disinterestedness will command general confidence. "The members of the Central Board shall be appointed by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. "In making appointments, consideration shall be given to the importance of including on the Central Board, in equitable proportion, persons possessing a knowledge of the drug situation, both in the producing and manufacturing countries on the one hand, and in the consuming countries on the other hand, and connected with such countries.
