New Heights Spring-Summer 2020 the Magazine of Le Moyne College New Heights Spring-summer 2020 The Magazine of Le Moyne College And like a shooting star, dazzle us he did. 20 Celebrating the Life and Legacy of George V. Coyne, S.J. Next Gen Spring-Summer 2020 Spring-Summer 2020 | A Immersive Learning Vin, the gentle giant of a man who took her on an alligator safari ride along the Black River … The children from the small, remote school whose smiles brightened every single one of her days … David, the groundskeeper who took pride in every task he undertook, whether painting or gardening, and modeled the simple dignity of hard work … Julia Sardella ’20 (right) will forever carry these people, whom she encountered during an eight-day trip to Jamaica, in her heart. The finance major was part of a group of Le Moyne students who traveled to the Caribbean island nation as part of a service-immersion experience. Their job, formally, was to tutor local children, visit the elderly at a nursing home, and assist at a nearby outreach center. But their informal, and far more important, role, was to listen and learn, to broaden their world view, make connections to those living on the margins of society, and discover what it truly means to be a man or woman for others. Their task was to live in simplicity, solidarity and spirituality and to gain a deeper understanding of what they want their contribution to the world to be.

  • The Specola Vaticana: Astronomy at the Vatican
    Organizations, People and Strategies in Astronomy 2 (OPSA 2), 217-230 Ed. A. Heck, © 2013 Venngeist. THE SPECOLA VATICANA: ASTRONOMY AT THE VATICAN GUY CONSOLMAGNO AND CHRISTOPHER CORBALLY Specola Vaticana V-00120, Vatican City State [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. The Vatican is an independent nation, with its own national astronomical observatory, the Specola Vaticana (Vatican Observatory). As- tronomy has been supported at the Vatican since the 1582 reform of the calendar; the present-day Observatory has been in operation since 1891. The work of the observatory is divided between two sites, one in the pa- pal summer gardens south of Rome, Italy, and the other affiliated with the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Research undertaken by current staff members ranges from cosmol- ogy and the study of galactic evolution to meteoritics and meteors. Given the stable funding provided by the Vatican, the Observatory has specialized in long-term mapping and cataloguing projects that would be difficult to mount under a traditional three-year funding cycle. These have included participation in the Carte du Ciel photographic map of the sky; the at- lases of spectra produced by its Spectrochemical Laboratory; surveys of star clusters and peculiar stars; and the cataloguing of meteorite physical properties. 1. Astronomy in the Holy See Before 1891 To the Christian church, the study of creation has long been supported as an act of worshipping the Creator. Astronomy was one of the seven subjects that made up the curriculum of the medieval universities, which were themselves founded by the Church.

A case study in the Etna area Leonardo Mercatanti* and Gaetano Sabato* Department of Cultures and Societies, University of Palermo, Italy * Correspondence: Email: [email protected]; [email protected]. Abstract: On December 24, 2018, the Etna volcano has recorded a significant eruption. Linked to this phenomenon, after a seismic swarm of 72 shocks, a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck a large area North of Catania city, on the Eastern coast of Sicily. Six villages reported 28 injured people and damages to the building. According to seismologists the earthquake had an unusual level of magnitude. Yet, despite the real danger of this event, many people who live around the volcano, in one of the most densely populated areas of Sicily, perceived these facts in an ambivalent way. Indeed, their lives continued as before even in awareness of the natural hazard, while several media presented the situation as really dangerous in a worried tone. This paper, part of a wider research still in progress, aims to analyse the perception of the risk towards the biggest and highest volcano of Europe by the inhabitants of some villages that rise around the Etna. Based on a previous research conducted in 2013 in the same area, this study compares the ways in which this recent earthquake was perceived by some residents in the area and the ways in which some online newspaper narrated the event.

  • Jesuit Responses to Native American Dreams in the Early Seventeenth Century
    DISCERNING DREAMS IN NEW FRANCE: JESUIT RESPONSES TO NATIVE AMERICAN DREAMS IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Deirdre C. McMurtry, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Approved By Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Advisor Professor Matt Goldish ____________________________________ Professor Alice Conklin Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT Recent scholarship on the seventeenth-century Jesuit-Amerindian encounter in New France has emphasized the cultural disruptiveness and loss of the various native groups as a result of the missionary project. Crucial to understanding this loss of traditional Amerindian culture, however, is a parallel understanding of the cultural and intellectual forces coming from Europe which shaped and often restricted the Jesuits’ attitudes toward native customs. Examining the first fifty years of the cross-cultural encounter through the lens of dream interpretation, this paper argues that the Jesuits made several adjustments to their initial assumptions and responses toward native dreams. Although the Jesuits originally denounced all native dreams as superstitious, the advent of native convert dreams forced the Jesuits to recognize the placement of at least some native dreams within traditional Christian categories of visions and miracles, even though some of these dreams retained characteristics which they condemned in traditional native dreams. Over time, however, the Jesuits’ accommodating policy drew criticisms from competing missionaries. Because the dispute centered on events in China rather than Canada, the acceptability of convert dreams was resolved first by a silence on the issue in public records and later by a retraction of the papal condemnation of the Chinese Rites ruling and certain accomodationist practices.

    Sixty-Seventh Commencement Sunday, the twenty-first of May Two thousand seventeen Le Moyne College Campus at nine-thirty in the morning LE MOYNE COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENT Le Moyne College is a diverse learning community that strives for academic excellence in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition through its comprehensive programs rooted in the liberal arts and sciences. Its emphasis is on education of the whole person and on the search for meaning and value as integral parts of the intellectual life. Le Moyne College seeks to prepare its members for leadership and service in their personal and professional lives to promote a more just society. 1 ACADEMIC REGALIA The origin of academic caps, gowns and hoods dates to the 12th century and the rise of the universities, which were originally under the auspices of the church, and whose faculties were comprised of churchmen. These scholars wore clerical robes, hoods and capes as much for warmth during the long, cold European winters as for distinction. Today the standard academic regalia worn in the United States are of three types. The bachelor’s gown is characterized by its simplicity of line and long, pointed sleeves, distinguishing it from the master’s gown, best recognized by its rectangular, “wing-like” sleeves. The doctor’s gown, with full, bell-shaped sleeves, is faced in front and back with velvet and has three velvet bars across the sleeves. In addition, the tassel on the doctor’s cap may be gold. The hood is the most symbolic part of the academic regalia. Its size and shape indicate the level of the degree held, its lining shows the colors of the institution granting it, and the color of its velvet border corresponds to the general academic program of the degree.
