This publication has long sought to engage its readers with details of the excellent people, Ievents and accomplishments associated with the University of La Verne. I hope you find this issue’s enhanced style and visual appearance gratifying and the content as enlightening, educational and entertaining as ever. As the fall semester marks the start of our new academic year, the university’s main campus is alive with opening activities. There are new faces as well as the return of many familiar ones looking refreshed, all of them ready for the adventures the year ahead will surely bring. While some have enjoyed an extended summer break, nearly 60 percent of our students attend classes both in La Verne and at our regional locations on a schedule that includes terms running year-round. A few traditional undergraduates, but mostly our graduate and adult students, prefer to attend classes throughout the entire calendar year. This schedule enables them to complete their degrees on a tighter schedule and either move on to their next educational endeavor or put their degrees directly to work in their chosen professions. With this advent of year-round school plus the addition of an increasing number of web-based computer delivered courses, we are increasingly becoming a 12-month, 24/7 operation. This is a trend I predict will expand to accommodate the hectic schedules of our fast-paced society. Such changes place new demands on our faculty and staff. I continue to be impressed by the ability they have to create new delivery modes and regularly improve the services they provide for the changing needs of “It is still the human touch that ignites, fuels and our 7,600 students. No matter how they are challenged, our facilitates the teaching and learning process.” faculty and staff rise to the occasion with an eye toward constantly enhancing all that we do for our students, both in the classroom and through services that accompany the teaching and learning process. It is the work of the faculty that brings the teaching and learning process to life, pushing our students to new limits and piquing student curiosity while preparing them for a life of professional success and service to society. Our staff provides services that are absolutely essential to the environment for successful academic pursuits. The University of La Verne is fortunate to have such an extraordinary cadre of talented, dedicated professionals who bring our mission to life each and every day. They are the ones who make the University of La Verne such an impressive and effective learning community. We live in an exciting and challenging time of technological advances, with instant access to all corners of the world and information far beyond the normal grasp. But it is still the human touch that ignites, fuels and facilitates the teaching and learning process. Thank you for your continuing support of the people of the University of La Verne. They do indeed make a difference!

  • Press Release for Editing
    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements." Moderne Gallery's new showrooms are being designed by the gallery's longtime interior designer Michael Gruber of Philadelphia.

  • Sam Maloof How a Home Craftsman Became One of the Best There Is by Rick Mastelli
    Sam Maloof How a home craftsman became one of the best there is by Rick Mastelli all to mind the do-it-yourself magazines of the late 1940s, c offering plans for boxy Masonite built-ins, and you'll sense the context in which Sam Maloof began designing and making furniture for a living. Picture too the invasion of the Danish Modern, the advent of the "clean, functional, but elegant line," and you will have the context of Maloof's first marketplace. But you will have a hard time tracing the influ- ences on his work. For one thing, Maloof claims not to be conscious of any influence. He has had no formal training in either woodworking or furniture design. The subtle but steady refinement of his pieces began in a backyard workshop more than 30 years ago; they predate his first contact with the Danish furniture his work seems in touch with. Numerous ar- ticles on him in craft magazines and Sunday home supple- ments have described his work as "Western," "Gothic," "classic" or "organic," but Maloof is no student of art history. He was asked once by an admirer was he Egyptian—"Your chairs remind me of ancient Egyptian chairs." No, Maloof is not Egyptian (his parents were Lebanese), nor was it until after this remark that he took a close look at the Tutan- Left, Maloof drives assembly screws into a brown oak desk. Below, three desks await crating outside Maloof's home and shop in Alta Loma, Calif. Variations on trestle structure, pinned joints and the adroit use of sapwood for graphic effect (all of these are walnut) characterize his work.
