Purposeful and diverse, it is a liberal arts college, a university college, and a graduate school and research center. The role of the liberal arts college is traditionally and properly a double one. It should further a man’s understanding of himself and the world he lives in. It should prepare him, if he has the desire and the talent, for further, more specialized study. All of the College’s students have both oppor­ tunity and obligation to work toward that understanding; about two- thirds of its graduates continue their education. The College of Arts and Sciences, in its second role as a university college, is responsible for the education of all Cornell students in liberal subjects. This is a taxing commitment, but a valuable one because meeting it helps to create and preserve a single academic community. At the same time, this obligation is also a source of strength and diver­ sity that is not available to the single and solely undergraduate college. A university college, able to draw upon the more highly specialized knowledge and facilities of its more professional fellow colleges, is able to unite liberal and practical studies. The College is also, and this is its third role, a graduate school and research institute. Teaching and scholarship are not separable activities. Their vigorous and inventive association provides inestimable ad­ vantages for undergraduates; it attracts fine minds to the faculty and keeps them professionally alert and humanly responsive; it demands first-rate facilities; and it creates an atmosphere of discovery and excite­ ment. This mixed character and these several functions are surely the most adequate way to meet the real obligations that higher education in America has assumed. In an American university each student must somehow receive an education which enables him to understand the world and effectively employ his talents in it; each must discover who he is and what his special interests and abilities are; each must be enabled to develop his knowledge, his interests, and his abilities; each must be helped to a sense of responsibility about himself and his work. 5 6 ADMISSION The College of Arts and Sciences thinks it can best meet these obliga­ tions by promoting diversity and permitting flexibility. For students this means freedom and continuity: freedom to experiment, to discover one’s likes and talents, to change directions and correct mistakes; con­ tinuity so that experiment can take place without penalty, and with profit and excitement. Combination permits continuity; diversity permits freedom of education choice. THE CURRICULUM The College's curriculum gives the student opportunity for breadth, experiment, and discovery, especially during the first two years. A certain diversity is indeed urged upon him by the Distribution require­ ment itself. When the student explores a new subject matter he is, in effect, exploring his own latent interests and abilities. As he completes introductory courses the student lays the foundation for more advanced work or even for majoring in particular fields. During his fourth term (or earlier), as his interest comes to a focus, he chooses the subject in which he wishes to concentrate his study, aiming at depth and compe­ tence. The usual pattern is for him to devote roughly half the work of the last two years to his major program. Though certain core courses are usually prescribed in any major, there still remains a broad spec­ trum of choice which includes related courses in other subjects or even in other divisions of the University. Some departments offer two major programs: one, a program of intense and sophisticated preparation for postgraduate study; the other, a more general program for the person who wants a liberal education with some specific concentration, but whose interests are not professional. Almost all departments have a full, demanding, and rewarding Honors program for those who demonstrate particular ability during their first two years. Many departments have as part of their Honors programs (or in addition to them) specially directed courses and projects which permit students to pursue their own interests and talents. The College periodically offers experimental courses that cut across subject lines, explore new notions, and test ideas arising from that com­ plicated triangulation that must go on between teacher, student, and subject. ADMISSION The College of Arts and Sciences attempts to select a freshman class whose members are individually able to take full advantage of the edu­ cational opportunities afforded by the College and the University. Because those opportunities are rich and diverse, no single criterion is employed. The College selects primarily for what Aristotle called the intellectual virtues, and it especially considers academic ability, intel­ ligence and creativity, independence and maturity, and promise of ADMISSION 7 mental growth. It also seeks a class with a wide range of other qualities and characteristics, and it honors those young men and women with highly developed special interests and talents. Furthermore, the College is making a real effort to identify and admit students whose schooling and family backgrounds indicate that the standard measures are a poor index of their abilities. An applicant must have completed a secondary school course giving satisfactory preparation for the work of the College. Sixteen units of entrance credit are required: four years of English; three years of college- preparatory mathematics (The increasing need for mathematics in the social, biological, and physical sciences makes it desirable for students interested in these areas to be prepared to take a calculus course upon entering the College; these students should have studied advanced algebra and trigonometry during their secondary school years.); and three years of one foreign language, ancient or modern. (Foreign lan­ guage preparation is particularly important in this College. Although a student who can offer only two years or less of a foreign language, but who has a school record of otherwise high quality, should not hesitate to apply, he should attach a letter to his application form explaining his deficiency.) The remaining units should be chosen from laboratory science, social studies, and further work in mathematics and foreign language.

    George McTurnan Kahin, 1918-2000 The following tributes were composed by members of the Southeast Asia Program, Cornell University, in honor of George Kahin. The eulogies by Stanley J. O'Connor and Thak Chaloemtiarana were delivered at the memorial service for George Kahin, February 4, 2000, Ithaca, NY. Benedict Anderson's tribute was delivered at the Celebration of the Life of George McTurnan Kahin, May 6, 2000, Ithaca, NY. George Kahin was a national figure, and his life and career are being recounted in major newspapers. Of this there will be much telling abroad as well. But our loss is local and felt deeply. He was the bedrock on which many of us based our professional lives. We have all been touched by his warmth, his kindness, and made better by his example of courage, integrity, and his patient devotion to our corporate life. His passing brings a chill blast of mortality, a keen apprehension of the fragility of life and the tenuousness of the threads that bind us to each other. I would remind you that a tree was planted in George's honor at the center of the university—out on the contained immensity of the Arts Quadrangle. Today, its wet black branches are bare, but burgeoning life will return with the spring. And, across the Quadrangle, the library, with shelves stretching in the deep structure of its orders, fills silently with Southeast Asian witness, a consequence, in part, of George's advocacy and stewardship with Program funds. Many more books will flow out of the quiet labor now underway at the Kahin Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia.

  • Abstract We Survey the Published Work of Harry Kesten in Probability Theory, with Emphasis on His Contributions to Random Walks
    Abstract We survey the published work of Harry Kesten in probability theory, with emphasis on his contributions to random walks, branching processes, perco- lation, and related topics. Keywords Probability, random walk, branching process, random matrix, diffusion limited aggregation, percolation. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010) 60-03, 60G50, 60J80, 60B20, 60K35, 82B20. Noname manuscript No. 2(will be inserted by the editor) Geoffrey R. Grimmett Harry Kesten's work in probability theory Geoffrey R. Grimmett In memory of Harry Kesten, inspiring colleague, valued friend April 8, 2020 1 Overview Harry Kesten was a prominent mathematician and personality in a golden period of probability theory from 1956 to 2018. At the time of Harry's move from the Netherlands to the USA in 1956, as a graduate student aged 24, much of the foundational infrastructure of probability was in place. The central characters of probability had long been identified (including random walk, Brownian motion, the branching process, and the Poisson process), and connections had been made and developed between `pure theory' and cognate areas ranging from physics to finance. In the half-century or so since 1956, a coordinated and refined theory has been developed, and probability has been recognised as a crossroads discipline in mathematical science. Few mathematicians have contributed as much during this period as Harry Kesten. Following a turbulent childhood (see [59]), Harry studied mathematics with David van Dantzig and Jan Hemelrijk in Amsterdam, where in 1955 he attended a lecture by Mark Kac entitled \Some probabilistic aspects of potential theory". This encounter appears to have had a decisive effect, in that Harry moved in 1956 to Cornell University to work with Kac.

  • Divergence of Shape Fluctuation for General Distributions in First-Passage Percolation
    DIVERGENCE OF SHAPE FLUCTUATION FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTIONS IN FIRST-PASSAGE PERCOLATION SHUTA NAKAJIMA d Abstract. We study the shape fluctuation in the first-passage percolation on Z . It is known that it diverges when the distribution obeys Bernoulli in [Yu Zhang. The divergence of fluctuations for shape in first passage percolation. Probab. Theory. Related. Fields. 136(2) 298–320, 2006]. In this paper, we extend the result to general distributions. 1. Introduction First-passage percolation is a random growth model, which was first introduced by Hammersley and Welsh in 1965. The model is defined as follows. The vertices are the d d elements of Z . Let us denote the set edges by E : d d E = ffv; wgj v; w 2 Z ; jv − wj1 = 1g; Pd where we set jv − wj1 = i=1 jvi − wij for v = (v1; ··· ; vd), w = (w1; ··· ; wd). Note that we consider non-oriented edges in this paper, i.e., fv; wg = fw; vg and we sometimes d regard fv; wg as a subset of Z with a slight abuse of notation. We assign a non-negative d random variable τe on each edge e 2 E , called the passage time of the edge e. The collec- tion τ = fτege2Ed is assumed to be independent and identically distributed with common distribution F . d A path γ is a finite sequence of vertices (x1; ··· ; xl) ⊂ Z such that for any i 2 d f1; ··· ; l − 1g, fxi; xi+1g 2 E . It is customary to regard a path as a subset of edges as follows: given an edge e 2 Ed, we write e 2 γ if there exists i 2 f1 ··· ; l − 1g such that e = fxi; xi+1g.

  • State and Revolution in the Making of the Indonesian Republic
    Jurnal Sejarah. Vol. 2(1), 2018: 64 – 76 © Pengurus Pusat Masyarakat Sejarawan Indonesia https://doi.org/10.26639/js.v%vi%i.117 State and Revolution in the Making of the Indonesian Republic Norman Joshua Northwestern University Abstract While much ink has been spilled in the effort of explaining the Indonesian National Revolution, major questions remain unanswered. What was the true character of the Indonesian revolution, and when did it end? This article builds a case for viewing Indonesia’s revolution from a new perspective. Based on a revisionist reading of classic texts on the Revolution, I argue that the idea of a singular, elite-driven and Java-centric "revolution" dismisses the central meaning of the revolution itself, as it was simultaneously national and regional in scope, political and social in character, and it spanned more than the five years as it was previously examined. Keywords: Revolution, regionalism, elite-driven, Java-centric Introduction In his speech to Indonesian Marhaenist youth leaders in front of the Istana Negara on December 20, 1966, President Soekarno claimed that “[The Indonesian] revolution is not over!”1 Soekarno’s proposition calls attention to at least two different perspectives on revolution. On the one hand, the Indonesian discourse of a continuous revolution resonates with other permanent leftist revolutions elsewhere, such as the Cultural Revolution in Maoist China, Cuban Revolution in Castroist Cuba, or the Bolivarian 1 Soekarno, Revolusi belum selesai: kumpulan pidato Presiden Soekarno, 30 September 1965, pelengkap Nawaksara, ed.

Bungay, Suffol\ To LEORA, DIANA, and SEEGLA whose generation must not be indifferent to the fate of Asia and her peoples INTRODUCTION ASIA has various meanings. To some it is a geographical expression, the and largest most populous of the continents. And so it is, with 17 million miles square and if billion people, covering one-third of the earth's surface and nearly two-thirds of mankind. Other think of people Asia as the home of the great religions. This image, too, is well-grounded in fact, as revealed by a glance around the 'Rimland'. From South-West Asia, better known as the Near or East Middle East, came Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. India gave the world Hinduism and Buddhism, while China contributed a Confucianism, really philosophy with the power of religion, and Japan added Shinto. No wonder that Westerners talk about the mystical and spiritual East. If one adds to the list such faiths as Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Persians before the coming of Islam, Sikhism and Jainism in India, Taoism in China, and Lamaism, a form of Buddhism in High Asia, along with a host of less sophisticated beliefs, the spiritual image becomes almost a self- evident truth.

  • Ericsson's Conjecture on the Rate of Escape Of
    TRANSACTIONS of the AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 240, lune 1978 ERICSSON'SCONJECTURE ON THE RATEOF ESCAPEOF ¿-DIMENSIONALRANDOM WALK BY HARRYKESTEN Abstract. We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Erickson to the effect that any genuinely ¿-dimensional random walk S„, d > 3, goes to infinity at least as fast as a simple random walk or Brownian motion in dimension d. More precisely, if 5* is a simple random walk and B, a Brownian motion in dimension d, and \j/i [l,oo)-»(0,oo) a function for which /"'/^(OiO, then \¡/(n)~'\S*\-» oo w.p.l, or equivalent^, ifr(t)~'\Bt\ -»oo w.p.l, iff ffif/(tY~2t~d/2 < oo; if this is the case, then also $(ri)~'\S„\ -» oo w.p.l for any random walk Sn of dimension d. 1. Introduction. Let XX,X2,... be independent identically distributed ran- dom ¿-dimensional vectors and S,, = 2"= XX¡.Assume throughout that d > 3 and that the distribution function F of Xx satisfies supp(P) is not contained in any hyperplane. (1.1) The celebrated Chung-Fuchs recurrence criterion [1, Theorem 6] implies that1 |5n|->oo w.p.l irrespective of F. In [4] Erickson made the much stronger conjecture that there should even exist a uniform escape rate for S„, viz. that «""iSj -* oo w.p.l for all a < \ and all F satisfying (1.1). Erickson proved his conjecture in special cases and proved in all cases that «-a|5„| -» oo w.p.l for a < 1/2 — l/d. Our principal result is the following theorem which contains Erickson's conjecture and which makes precise the intuitive idea that a simple random walk S* (which corresponds to the distribution F* which puts mass (2d)~x at each of the points (0, 0,..., ± 1, 0,..., 0)) goes to infinity slower than any other random walk.

DEVELOPING IDENTITY: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF INDONESIAN NATIONALISM A Thesis Presented by Thomas Joseph Butcher to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2021 Defense Date: March 26, 2021 Thesis Examination Committee: Erik Esselstrom, Ph.D., Advisor Thomas Borchert, Ph.D., Chairperson Dona Brown, Ph.D. Cynthia J. Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College Abstract This thesis examines the history of Indonesian nationalism over the course of the twentieth century. In this thesis, I argue that the country’s two main political leaders of the twentieth century, Presidents Sukarno (1945-1967) and Suharto (1967-1998) manipulated nationalist ideology to enhance and extend their executive powers. The thesis begins by looking at the ways that the nationalist movement originated during the final years of the Dutch East Indies colonial period.
