The Joe Fitzsimmons Library of Antarctic Exploration I remember going with my parents and grandparents to Boston in May, 1941 and waiting on the dock as the expedition returned from Antarctica. I am shown with my parents, grandfather, and two uncles, including Roy, in the accompanying photo holding a wooden fish from Pitcairn Island that Uncle Roy brought back as a gift, and incidentally, I still have that wooden fish. Shortly after returning to the States, Roy joined the U.S. Air Force and because of his meteorology expertise, he was assigned to North Africa to assist in organizing bombing raids over Europe during the war. Alas, Roy died during the war. However, it was after his death, that Admiral Byrd on one of his subsequent explorations to Antarctica honored him by naming a mountain after Roy in the Rockefeller Range. So many decades had passed since I thought about Uncle Roy, and as I wandered into the West Side Book Shop my interest was rekindled and I set out to find as much as I could about his trip and Admiral Byrd. I realized that in that time, the Antarctic was the last frontier and represented the last Golden Age of earth’s exploration, as important as the way we have felt about Space Exploration. Beginning with Uncle Roy’s expedition, I continued on to collect books about the other Byrd explorations, and since I Joe, age 6 with family members upon Roy’s return from Antarctica. am a completist by nature, I went on to the other explorations — Shackleton, Amundsen, Scott, Mawson, Charcot, etc. In the fall of 1997, the University of Michigan had won the NCAA As the former President of University Microfilms International National Football Championship and Ann Arbor celebrated with a (UMI) in Ann Arbor, I had a hand in microfilming many of the parade in January.

  • Buffalo, New York 51
    Buffalo, New York 51 BUFFALO, NEW YORK Population Rank: U.S..... # 58 New York...... # 2 Proportions: 5:8 (official) Adopted: 7 May 1924 (official) DESIGN: The field of Buffalo’s flag is dark blue with a central image in white. In the center is the city seal, from which emanate thirteen rays (“electric flashes”) of three jagged sections each similar to the con- ventional depiction of lightning flashes. Between each pair of flashes is a five-pointed star, point outwards. The seal itself has a narrow ring around the outside edge. The seal’s field is white with blue figures. In the upper half, from the hoist, are a lighthouse on a pier, a three-masted ship under full sail (bow toward the hoist), and a small sailboat. The top of the pier and the surface of the water on which the ship and boat are sailing (Lake Erie) form the bisecting line. The waters of the lake occupy about a third of the top of the seal’s lower half. The remainder shows a shoreline, below which the old Erie Canal is seen, with a canal boat (also headed toward the hoist) being drawn by two horses or don- 52 American City Flags keys, one ahead of the other. The rear animal has a human figure riding it. The lower edge of the canal has a fence running along it, and below are shrubs, filling in the remainder of the seal. The Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo (1974) specifies the offi- cial dimensions: Said flag in dimensions shall be five (5) feet wide by eight (8) feet long, or a flag of other dimensions may be used if the width and length and the follow- ing elements are of similar proportions.

  • American City Flags, Part 1
    Akron, Ohio 1 Akron, Ohio Population Rank: U.S..... # 81 Ohio...... # 5 Proportions: 3:5 (usage) Adopted: March 1996 (official) DESIGN: Akron’s flag has a white field with the city seal in the center. The seal features an American shield, which recalls the design of the All-America City program’s shield, awarded to cities meeting the pro- gram criteria. Akron’s shield is divided roughly into thirds horizontally. At the top of the shield are two rows of five white five-pointed stars on a dark blue field. In the center section is AKRON in black on white. The lower third displays six red and five white vertical stripes. Around the shield and the white field on which it rests is a dark blue ring on which 1981-ALL-AMERICA CITY-1995 curves clockwise above, and CITY OF INVENTION curves counterclockwise below, all in white. 2 American City Flags SYMBOLISM: Akron, having twice won the distinction of “All-America City” (in 1981 and 1995), has chosen to pattern its seal to commemo- rate that award. The ten stars represent the ten wards of the city. CITY OF INVENTION refers to Akron as home to the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame at Inventure Place, a museum of inventors and inven- tions. HOW SELECTED: Prepared by the mayor and his chief of staff. DESIGNER: Mayor Don Plusquellic and his chief of staff, Joel Bailey. FORMER FLAG: Akron’s former flag also places the city seal in the center of a white field. That former logo-type seal is oval, oriented horizontally.

  • A-4 Glacial Geology of the Erie Lowland and Adjoining Allegheny Plateau, Western New York
    A-4 GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF THE ERIE LOWLAND AND ADJOINING ALLEGHENY PLATEAU, WESTERN NEW YORK PARKER E. CALKIN - Department of Geological Sciences, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14226 GEOMORPHIC SETTING The Allegheny section of the Appalachian Plateau (Allegheny Plateau) in western New York may be divided into three physiographic areas; from the Pennsylvania border northward, these include: 1) the high and rugged, unglaciated Salamanca Re-entrant, south of the Allegheny River; 2) the glaciated southern New York Uplands with rounded summits and a network of 11 through valleys 11 and breached drainage divides (Cole, 1941; Muller, 1963); and 3) the Erie County portion north of the east-west Cattaraugus Valley. This area is furrowed by deep parallel north-trending troughs separated by broad interfluves and strongly developed to accommodate glacier flow (Donahue, 1972, Calkin and Muller, 1980). Bordering on the west and north, respectively, are the Erie and Ontario lowlands blanketed by glaciolacustrine and ice contact drift, and traversed by subdued, waterlaid end moraines. The Erie County portion of the plateau and the Lake Erie Lowland are the areas spanned by the accompanying field trip log (Fig. 1). At the close of Paleozoic sedimentation in the Appalachian geosyn­ cline (see Frontispiece I) and prior to glaciation, the area underwent epeirogenic uplift and gentle southward tilting of about 8 m km-• (40 ft 1 mi- • Initial southward consequent drainage on this surface was even­ tually reversed to a northwesterly obsequent system and episodic uplift resulted in deep entrenchment of these north-flowing rivers (Calkin and Muller, 1980). The most prom inent drainage lines headed south of the present Cattaraugus Valley and included from west to east: 1) the preglacial Allegheny, flowing westward past the Salamanca Re-entrant and northward through Gowanda to Lake Erie along the path of the present Conewango and lower Cattaraugus valley (Ellis, 1980; Frontispiece II); 2) the Connisarauley and 3) the Buttermilk rivers (LaFleur, 1979; D.

  • Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity
    The Responsibility of Forms: Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Carissa A. Massey June 2009 © 2009 Carissa A. Massey. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Responsibility of Forms: Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity by CARISSA A. MASSEY has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee J. Richard Hamilton/Baker and Hostetler Professor of Humanities Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT MASSEY, CARISSA A., Ph.D., June 2009, Interdisciplinary Arts The Responsibility of Forms: Social and Visual Rhetorics of Appalachian Identity (262 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee Appalachians are typically represented in visual culture as homogenized: white and poor. For the rest of the country tuned into to American visual culture, Appalachia is nothing more than America’s backwoods country, crawling with hillbillies, peopled by incestuous families, and stocked with slovenly welfare abusers. In the spirit of recent Appalachian scholarship’s reclamation of Appalachian heterogeneity via challenges to what scholars have referred to as the “Appalachian Myth,” this study examines the rhetoric of Appalachian stereotypes in visual culture, observes scenarios in which they construct external and internal “others,” and theorizes the ways in which images promote prejudice, classism, and gender disparities and deny the existence of richly diverse cultural traditions within the region. The visual ephemera covered in this project are not studied or organized as artifacts in an historical taxonomy.

  • Commencement Program 2021
    Sapientia et Doctrina Wisdom and Learning “Wisdom and learning shall be the stability of thy times.” —Adapted from Isaiah 33:6 The Fordham University Seal The Great Seal of Fordham University proclaims that Fordham has been a Jesuit university since its founder, Archbishop John Hughes, entrusted it to the care of the Society of Jesus five years after its founding in 1841. Hence, the coat of arms of the Society of Jesus stands at the center of the Great Seal of the University. The coat of arms bears the Greek letters for the name Jesus—IHS—with the cross resting in the horizontal line of the letter H, and the three nails beneath in a field framed in maroon, the color of the University, with fleurs-de-lis on the edge of the maroon frame. Around the Society’s coat of arms is a scroll with the University’s motto, Sapientia et Doctrina (Wisdom and Learning). The scroll rests on a field in which tongues of fire are displayed, recalling the outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit of wisdom (sapientia) that marked the first Pentecost. A laurel wreath at the center of which are listed the names of the disciplines that are or have been taught at the University rests at the top of the seal. (The University had a medical school from 1905 to 1919 and a College of Pharmacy from 1912 to 1971.) These central heraldic devices are enclosed within a circular field fashioned as a belt and edged with beads. The field bears the University’s name (rendered in Latin) and the date of its foundation.
