APPEL CYRUS DURGIN RUDOLPH ELIE Director of the Library and Library and Custodian of the Marsh Room Marsh Room Marsh Room CHARLES R. NUTTER MURIEL FRENCH FLORENCE C. ALLEN To the Members of the Association: Your attention is called to an article in this issue by Albert C. Koch. * * * * REPORT ON THE LIBRARY AND ON THE MARSH ROOM FOR THE YEAR 1954 To the President and the Directors of The Harvard Musical Association: Today, when television and the radio, both A.M. and F.M., are providing much of the intellectual sustenance for the common man and woman, the individual who turns for an intellectual repast to the writers of past centuries and also tries to phrase his thoughts both vocal and written with some regard to the rules of grammar and the principles of rhetoric is regarded as high‐brow and is thrown out of society. I am aware that I lay myself open to the charge of being a high‐brow, a charge that creates no reactionary emotion at all, especially as it comes usually from the low‐brow, and that I may be thrown out of society into a lower stratum, when I state that for the text of this report I have turned to a gentleman whose mortal life spanned the years between 1672 and 1719. Even the low‐brow has probably heard or read the name Joseph Addison, though it may convey nothing to him except the fact that it has an English and not a foreign sound.

  • The Iconography of O'connell Street and Environs After Independence
    Symbolising the State— the iconography of O’Connell Street and environs after Independence (1922) Yvonne Whelan Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages, University of Ulster, Magee Campus Derry ABSTRACT This paper explores the iconography of Dublin’s central thoroughfare, O’Connell Street and its immediate environs in the decades following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. It follows an earlier paper which examined the iconography of Sackville Street before Independence and turns the focus towards an analysis of the ways in which the street became a significant site for the cul- tural inscription of post-colonial national identity. It is argued that the erection of new monuments dedicated to the commemoration of the 1916 Rising, as well as the destruction of older imperial symbols, rendered visible the emergence of the newly independent Irish Free State. The paper charts this process of iconograph- ical inscription but also argues that O’Connell Street as a totality has taken on greater symbolic significance than any of the monuments that line its centre. In conclusion the paper examines the contemporary iconography of the street and addresses the apparent transition from political sculpture to public art which has taken place in recent decades throughout the city. Key index words: O’Connell Street, iconography, national identity, monuments. Introduction The great thoroughfare which the citizen of Dublin was accustomed to describe proudly “as the finest street in Europe” has been reduced to a smoking reproduction of the ruin wrought at Ypres by the mercilessness of the Hun. Elsewhere throughout the city streets have been devastated, centres of thriving industry have been placed in peril or ruined, a paralysis of work and commerce has been imposed, and the pub- lic confidence that is the life of trade and employment has received a staggering blow from which it will take almost a generation to recover” (The Freeman’s Journal, 26th April - 5th May 1916).

Two trails narrating the history of Exeter City Football Club and its Supporters Trust, used for mobile learning and as part of sport and cultural tourism experiences are presented. We show how Time Trails can be used as a presencing tool to establish new ways of encountering and learning on digital heritage within our daily lives. Keywords: Presencing. Digital Heritage. Mixed Reality. Trajectories. Community.

  • Sculpture and Modernity in Europe, 1865-1914
    ARTH 17 (02) S c u l p t u r e a n d M o d e r n i t y i n E u r o p e , 1 8 6 5 - 1 9 1 4 Professor David Getsy Department of Art History, Dartmouth College Spring 2003 • 11 / 11.15-12.20 Monday Wednesday Friday / x-hour 12.00-12.50 Tuesday office hours: 1.30-3.00 Wednesday / office: 307 Carpenter Hall c o u r s e d e s c r i p t i o n This course will examine the transformations in figurative sculpture during the period from 1865 to the outbreak of the First World War. During these years, sculptors sought to engage with the rapidly evolving conditions of modern society in order to ensure sculpture’s relevance and cultural authority. We will examine the fate of the figurative tradition in the work of such sculptors as Carpeaux, Rodin, Leighton, Hildebrand, Degas, Claudel, and Vigeland. In turn, we will evaluate these developments in relation to the emergence of a self-conscious sculptural modernism in the work of such artists as Maillol, Matisse, Brancusi, Gaudier-Brzeska, and Picasso. In addition to a history of three-dimensional representation in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, this course will also introduce the critical vocabularies used to evaluate sculpture and its history. s t r u c t u r e o f t h e c o u r s e Each hour session will consist of lectures and discussions of images, texts, and course themes.
