    21. Seclusion versus Accessibility: The Harems of Constantinople as Aesthetic Worlds in Stories by Elsa Lindberg-Dovlette Helena Bodin Comparative Literature, Stockholm University At the turn of the twentieth century, the harem was still a secluded and concealed space, unknown to most westerners and there- fore arousing their curiosity. Novels about life in a harem, such as Pierre Loti’s Les Désenchantées (1906),1 set in cosmopolitan Constantinople, were bestsellers and widely translated in the early twentieth century. Likewise, for several decades, descrip- tions of visits to Turkish harems had been essential elements in travelogues about Constantinople by female writers such as the Englishwoman E. C. C. Baillie and the Danish Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann,2 while motifs from harems, painted by such artists as 1 Pierre Loti, Les Désenchantées: Roman des harems turcs contemporains (Paris: Calmann-Lévy, 1906). 2 E.

This decision was received with the greatest interest by the Swed­ ish Olympic Committee which took its first steps for the organization of the competition, as early as the autumn of 1910. This was no easy matter, however, for there was nothing to go by as re­ gards the new event as there was in the case of the other com­ petitions. In determining the five branches of sport that were to make up the Modern Pentathlon, the Swedish Olympic Committee had the following points in view: the five events ought to be such as would test the endurance, resolution, presence of mind, intrepidity, agility and strength of those taking part in the competition, while, in drawing up the detailed programme, it was necessary to have all the events of equivalent value, in order to make the Modern Penta­ thlon a competition of really all-round importance. As regards the shooting, which, of course, was not any test of physical strength, it was necessary to demand a corresponding degree of skill in that branch, in order to make it equivalent to each of the other iour events.

  • Det Var Strax Efter 1850 Som Läroverk Med Gymnasium Tillkom I Norrköping
    NORRKÖPINGS HÖGRE ALLMÄNNA LÄROVERK Det var strax efter 1850 som läroverk med gymnasium tillkom i Norrköping. Skolbyggnaden var belägen på Skolgatan (skolhuset lär ha legat där sedan någon gång efter 1600-talets mitt), där S: t Olofsskolan idag ligger. Skolan kallades då för Norrköpings Förenade Lärdoms- och Apologistskola, där apologistskolan representerade en mer allmän medborgerlig utbildning och lärdomsskolan företrädde en högre utbildning därutöver. Men 1849 så förenades dessa till ett reformerat och sammanhållet läroverk, efter beslut från Kungl. Majestätet. Skolan ändrade namn till Elementarläroverket i Norrköping. 1856 ändrades skolstadgan och läroverket i Norrköping blev ett femklassigt s.k. Lägre Elementarläroverk. Gamla skolan vid Skolgatan Nya skolan vid Nygatan efter 1868 Gamla skolan Norrköping var under mitten av 1800-talet Sveriges största industristad i förhållande till invånarantalet, ca 16 000 invånare. Behovet av högre undervisning var därför mycket stort och det utgjorde grunden för Dr Clas Herman Rundgrens (som var läroverkets inspektor samt kyrkoherde i S: t Olai) motioner i riksdagen om en utvidgning till fullständigt real- och latingymnasium. Detta genomfördes också, men dessa förändringar kom snart att öka utrymmesbristen. Man hade på flera håll i staden fått hyra in sig och det var mycket mödosamt för eleverna med de märkbart långa avstånden som blev mellan de hyrda lokalerna och huvudbyggnaden på Skolgatan. Därför var en ny och större läroverksbyggnad mycket nödvändig. Läroverket mot Nygatan före 1900 Läroverket mot Getängen Bildkälla: Norrköpings Stadsbibliotek Affisch 1 NORRKÖPINGS HÖGRE ALLMÄNNA LÄROVERK Diskussioner om ett nytt skolbygge inleddes 1858 av Borger- skapets Äldste (motsvarar dagens kommunfullmäktige) och en utredningskommitté utsågs för uppförandet av ett nytt skolhus i staden.
