A fWTATfOrf F0ft HO On lecture notes and exams: “Ostransky’s lecture notes and final exams give testimony to his emphasis on teach­ ing and understanding jazz in context. His exams and notes are held together by a com­ mon thread—a focus on the social, musi­ cal, and developmental history of jazz as an organic and dynamic field of music. Decades before Lewis Porter published his article on Coltrane’s contributions to form in jazz, Ostransky emphasized the importance of form in the study of jazz—as can be seen by his numerous exam questions regarding the crucial influence of the blues form on jazz music.”

PRIMARY SOURCES In the Collins Library Shelmidine Room, students pore over 18 boxes of papers. Left: one of the documents they reviewed—an Ostransky composition from his Songs for Julia (1973), with the author's performance notes.

We ask profs about important books i specialties, and what th

One of the great joys of working at a college is hanging out with the faculty and talking about their work. Walking across Karlen Quad, say, we run into a professor friend, and we always ask, “So, what’s been catching your attention lately?” The resulting conversation is usually brief and informal but fun and really interesting, and it leaves us wishing we could collect these encounters in a more comprehensive way for Arches readers because we know you like this sort of thing, too. Then it came to us: What better unifying theme for a feature on faculty work than the books our teachers are reading to teach themselves? As it happens, the Arches intern this year, Ian Fox *14, is himself an avid book collector. A prize-winning collector, in fact: He got the top prize in the library’s book- collection contest last year for his assemblage of books on Batman from the 1930s to the present. A perfect correspondent! So we sent him out onto the campus to sit with professors in their office libraries and ask them what’s on their shelves. It’s an overworked word, but we can’t come up with a fairer one: What he encountered was passion. Ian said he concluded the assignment feeling privileged to talk with so many professors about what they love. (He interviewed many more than are on these pages.) He said he learned about the profs as people, absolutely, but also he learned about knowledge. How do we interact with the world? What marks have people left? How can we approach the future? Cool. On to the books, then:

And why are Honors Program graduates called Chapman scholars? 1 Coolidge Otis Chapman was born in New York in 1895, married in 1926, joined Puget [ Sounds English department in 1932, retired in 1959, and died in Tacoma in 1966. He was tall (6 feet 3 inches—always in the back row in photographs) and a slender 150 pounds. He did not come from humble beginnings. Coolidge was the oldest of three sons; his father was a successful architect and builder in Woodmerc, Hempstead Township, Nassau County, Long Island, N.Y. All three boys were shipped off to Hoosac School, an Episcopal boarding school in Hoosick Falls, N.Y. After graduating from Hoosac, Coolidge enrolled at Williams College but transferred to Cornell University before graduating. There he earned bachelors, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees. His 1925 masters thesis, Tlje Diction of the Middle English Purity, was the beginning of Coolidge s lifelong research interest. He spent several summers and his 1949-50 and 1955-56 sabbaticals at his alma mater, where he pursued research on the “Pearl Poet,” author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and considered to be “one of the four great writers of medieval England.” In 1951 Cornell University Press published Chapmans book, An Index of Names in Pearl, Purity, Patience and Gawain, “from poems of the late 14th century,” according to the Nov. 1, 1951, issue of The Trail. The book includes some 250 names “from the Bible, from the classics, and from medieval romances.” Since 1951 the book has gone through several editions. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. In 1926 Coolidge married Helen Hume; he was 31, she 30. Two years later the pair trav­ eled from New York to Europe, arriving July 8 at Plymouth, England, on Holland Americas

The new center is a key component really meant to me. Yes, it’s been cookies and movies and of the college's strategic plan to strengthen a distant burritos, but of course there’s been much more. For comprehensive academic-residential learning me, college has been about community. It’s been about try­ experience, providing physical fitness facilities ing leadership roles. And it’s been about exploring who I am for the entire campus community and supporting by critically engaging with the world. academic programs in exercise science, physical When I began, community just sort of came with signing up for college. But as therapy, and occupational therapy. time has gone on I’ve found that community—like everything—is what you make it. Sure, after a while I felt comfortable in a community of people who smile as you Take a virtual tour and see for yourself! walk by. But communities also are units formed around common goals. Hillel, the pugetsound.edu/aquatics-center Jewish student organization that I’ve gone to every week for the last four years, is a community. My fraternity is a community. KUPS is a community. Even those of us who seem to reside in Diversions have a mini community. I tried my hand at leading a lot of things in my time here. I think at one point I was president of three clubs and on the executive committee of two others, not to mention my three jobs. And while some of my tries at leading were more successful than others, I learned from them all. Without this space that we call college, that sort of intense leadership training would never have been possible. As I look toward the job market I’m soon to enter, I’ve found myself wondering: Did I make the right decision about choosing a college? I’m hoping to go into pub­ lic radio, so why didn’t I go to journalism school? The answer is the last meaning of college: Exploring myself. Going to J-school might have taught me technical skills, but the liberal arts are about the intangibles of a deeper education: How to think. How to write. How to critically engage with the world. And most important, how to explore, be curious, and more deeply understand yourself. Any technical skills that I’ll pick up will only stand on top of the liberal arts foundation I’ve built. I’ve grown in unexpected ways in my time at Puget Sound. When I entered, for exampie, I was intent on being a politics and government major and on one day running for public office. But in my freshman seminar I found a new passion in

WHAT WE DO: Caleb Brown ’03

Alternate reality

Otters the size of skyscrapers. Track runners leaping from a fiery explo­ sion. Skydivers jumping out of airplanes into the jaws of a giant floating shark. These are the kinds of scenes depicted in Caleb Browns surrealist paintings. r “In a culture where we’re inundated with so many images all the time, we experience a kind of image numbness,” says Caleb. “(For me] to make one still image that has any sort of gravitas or bring any atten­ tion to it, it had to be ridiculous and overblown. My paintings are es­ sentially about the modern world, but I’m talking about them in these overblown parables.” Surrealism traditionally deals with the subconscious, often ab­ stractly and in the most Freudian sense. Caleb’s paintings are surreal, for sure, but his work isn’t necessarily inwardly drawn. In fact, it deals with concerns about the world at large, such as climate change, genetic engineering, and cultural trends. And did I mention the giant sharks? There are giant sharks. m Beyond the immediacy of Caleb’s work is a surprising tension be­ tween the ridiculousness of what’s depicted and realist-level detail. Ca­ 111:- leb says he takes inspiration from Flemish religious oil paintings of the 15th century. In these altar pieces, fantastical stories from the Bible are depicted with such realism that they result in what Caleb describes as a “heightened reality.” Born and raised on the very northwest tip of Washington state, Caleb found himself indoors often, hiding from the rain. He took up painting from a young age and has been making art ever since. Caleb majored in studio art at Puget Sound, and after leaving Tacoma he spent a couple of years in Port­ land, Ore., before moving to the East Coast to get his M.F.A. at Boston University. Up until grad school, Caleb considered himself a much more traditional painter, focusing on por­ traits and still lifes. But he realized that to say some­ thing meaningful about the world, he could create an exaggerated parallel universe to critique our own. The effect is stunning. Tiger Diver 1 offers an im­ Caleb, in N.Y. mediate satirical quality with its giant white tiger underwater, but looking closely for more than a moment, one finds deeper, darker implications: a disturbing critique about scientific experi­ mentation, the treatment of animals, and the perversion of nature. Caleb currently resides in Brooklyn, N.Y., working full time for fa­ mous pop artist Jeff Koons (whose stainless steel sculpture of a balloon dog recently became the most expensive item sold at auction by a living artist). Caleb’s first solo show, A Modem World, opened in September at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles. It featured seven paint­ ings, the culmination of three years’ work—each painting takes between three and six months to make, and he’s not slowing down. “Right now I’m making another giant otter painting. I keep work­ ing in series to flesh out this world that I’m building,” he says. “By repeating these motifs over and over, you make these unbelievable situa­ tions more believable as you paint the world.” — Kevin Nguyen '09

Green and Gold Football Reunion

Puget Sound football alumni from the Green and Gold era (1968-98) reunited for a weekend of events in November. More than 125 alumni were on campus to cheer on the Loggers against Willamette, meet the current Logger football players, and recog­ nize their much-loved coaches, "Big Wally" Wallrof and Ron Simonson.

Loggers Keep Learning in Washington, D.C. and Portland

Loggers gathered this past November at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., for an engaging and timely discussion on immigration reform with Associate Professor of Politics and Government Robin Jacobson, as part of the national Loggers Keep Learning series. The fun continued two weeks later at the Portland Art Museum, where more than 80 Loggers enjoyed a presentation and discussion on Cervantes and the Golden Age led by Distinguished Professor of Hispanic Studies Harry Velez-Quinones.
