    Commencement MAY 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is an occasion of profoundly mixed emotions for all of us. On one hand, there is the pride, excitement, and immeasurable hope that come with the culmination of years of effort and success at the University of Connecticut. But on the other hand, there is the recognition that this year is different. For the first time since 1914, the University of Connecticut is conferring its graduate and undergraduate degrees without our traditional ceremonies. It is my sincere hope that you see this moment as an opportunity rather than a misfortune. As the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed, “Difficulties show us who we are.” This year our University, our state, our nation, and indeed our world have faced unprecedented difficulties. And now, as you go onward to the next stage of your journey, you have the opportunity to show what you have become in your time at UConn. Remember that the purpose of higher education is not confined to academic achievement; it is also intended to draw from within those essential qualities that make each of us an engaged, fully-formed individual – and a good citizen. There is no higher title that can be conferred in this world, and I know each of you will exemplify it, every day. This is truly a special class that will go on to achieve great things. Among your classmates are the University’s first Rhodes Scholar, the largest number of Goldwater scholars in our history, and outstanding student leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice to mental health.

This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words North western University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern’s original faculty, redesigned the seal, Whatsoever things are true, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. whatsoever things are honest, On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . whatsoever things are just, full of grace and truth. Circling the book are the first three whatsoever things are pure, words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera whatsoever things are lovely, (What soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, whatsoever things are of good report; which remains Northwestern’s official signature, was approved by if there be any virtue, the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. and if there be any praise, The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is think on these things. from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (King James Version). 2 2982_STUDAFF_CommencementProgram_2020_FRONT.indd 2 6/12/20 12:14 PM COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM .

Herskovits, Roger Bastide Gérarde Magloire and Kevin A. Yelvington 1 Firmly placing anthropological theorizing within the social formations of which it is a part, but not reducing such theorizing to «contexts» or «milieux», we begin not with the question «What has been the anthropology of Haiti?» but, rather, «What has been the Haiti of anthropology?» We ask how «Haiti» has been used in what we call the «anthropological imagination», which we define as an assemblage of representations and practices in the conceptual system of anthropology and the discipline’s communicative interaction. We are interested, in other words, in reviewing various imaginings of place crosscut by imaginings of history where «Haiti» as a place situated in time appears in the space of theory.

  • The “Scholastic” Marine Who Won a Secret War: Frank Holcomb, the Oss, and American Double-Cross Operations in Europe
    The “Scholastic” Marine Who Won a Secret War: Frank Holcomb, The Oss, And American Double-Cross Operations In Europe Colonel Nicholas Reynolds Marine Corps History, Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2020, pp. 18-29 (Article) Published by Marine Corps University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/796459/summary [ Access provided at 28 Sep 2021 11:03 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. The “Scholastic” Marine Who Won a Secret War FRANK HOLCOMB, THE OSS, AND AMERICAN DOUBLE-CROSS OPERATIONS IN EUROPE by Colonel Nicholas Reynolds, USMCR (Ret) Abstract: This article focuses on a little-known contribution to Allied victory in Europe after D-Day by a part of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Special Counterintelligence (SCI) teams of the X-2 (Counterintel- ligence) Branch. Using a combination of private papers, unpublished studies, and OSS records, the author looks through the eyes of the commander of the SCI teams, Frank P. Holcomb, son of wartime Commandant General Thomas Holcomb. A Marine Corps reservist and OSS officer, Holcomb received a rudimentary orientation from the British in counterespionage and deception operations before creating his own highly successful units to perform those missions. In short order, the OSS went from having almost no such capability to neutralizing every German stay-behind agent in France and Belgium and turning a number of them back against the enemy to feed the Third Reich deceptive reports, accepted as genuine, thereby making a significant contribution to the security of the Allied armies.

  • SIPA News January 2012
    JANUARY 2012 SIPANEWS NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE POWER OF PERCEPTION SIPANEWS VOLUME XXV No. 1 JANUARY 2012 Published semiannually by Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs The quickening pace of globalization over the past two decades has undermined traditional national From the Dean identities and helped to promote ethnic, social, cultural, and even transnational solidarities that com- pete for primacy. More than 200 million people worldwide now reside outside their country of birth. Most of the rest of the world’s population now live in cities that are becoming more and more diverse. As the essays in this issue of SIPA News demonstrate vividly, individual identities and attachments are changing on a vast scale. In some places, of course, economic crises and political tensions have fueled a revival of nationalist sentiment against outsiders, but in most of the world, urbanization, education, and rising consumption are making people more cosmopolitan. In many places, identity formation has become an object of policymaking for national as well as local governments and of lobbying (or marketing) by social entrepreneurs of all kinds. Governments seek to reshape the attitudes of potential foreign investors and end up creating or perpetuating national or local mythologies, while cultural symbols and achievements, from ancient ruins and transnational religiosity to pop music and football (soccer), are being deployed by governments and non-state actors alike to create a sense of community (or of tension and confrontation) where it did not exist before. These are powerful trends, pushed along by the rapid proliferation of new means of social communication.
