  • The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
    VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

  • Mctolber-November 1982
    mctolber- November 1982 Editor's Note: The effect of change on people and na­ tions is commonly accepted fact. Pursuing ways to predict, cause, deter, accommo­ date or confront change and its conse­ quences is how most of us spend our lives. Dealing with change is rarely easy, con­ venient or painless; and as Henry Steele Commager notes, "Change does not necessarily assure progress but progress implacably requires change. " It is from such viewpoint that this issue looks at change and the portent of change on this nation, its maritime Industry - in­ cluding seafarers, and the Seamen's Church Institute - past, present and future. From seafarer, maritime executive and artist to Institute board manager, Oxford don and poet, we think you will find their observations and concerns about change provocative and challenging ones. We would also like to know your reactions to this issue.

President Family Research Council Ten Commandments: Foundation of American Society by Dr. Kenyn Cureton For a majority of Americans, the Ten Commandments are not set in stone. According to a USA Today poll, “Sixty percent of Americans cannot name five of the Ten Commandments.”1 In fact, it is amazing what Americans do know by comparison: 74% of Americans can name all three Stooges – Moe, Larry, and Curley.2 35% of Americans can recall all six kids from the Brady Bunch.3 25% of Americans can name all seven ingredients of McDonald’s Big Mac®.4 Here is the sad news: Only 14% can accurately name all Ten Commandments.5 Yet 78% of Americans are in favor of public displays of the Commandments.6 How ironic.

  • Abigail Beales, Phebe Carll, Irene Schultz
    have often written about old albums, letters, inscribed books, and samplers I found in flea markets and antique Istores. That such fragile things could survive for decades and centuries only to be randomly rescued begs the question: Where have they been and how did they come to be where I found them? While that question almost always goes unanswered, each of my rescues has been followed by the (welcome) challenge of searching for information on the original owner and the reward of being able to learn about Abigail Beales, those owners and share their stories with others. In that spirit, let me tell you about Abigail, Phebe, and Irene, the surviving fragments of their young lives I found, and the broader story of Phebe Carll, who they were. Irene Schultz: SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I bought an early 19th century friendship album at an antiques store in Lambertville. It belonged to a young woman named Abigail Beales. Research would confirm Three Young that Abigail was 22 years old when she began getting inscriptions in her album in 1838. She was born in Plainfield, Lives Massachusetts in 1816 to Robert and Rebecca Beales who were also born in Plainfield. Abigail married Granville Bascom Hall, a prosperous farmer who traced his lineage to a Rediscovered Mayflower ancestor. The Halls had three children including a son, Granville Stanley Hall, a pioneering psychologist and college educator and first president of the American Psychological Association. Today, nearly a century after his death, a number of his psychological beliefs and theories, History & Mystery, Perfect Together! Maureen Wlodarczyk | www.GardenStateLegacy.com Issue 50 Dec.

  • Why Doesn't the United States Have a European-Style Welfare State?
    0332-04-Alesina 1/3/02 15:31 Page 187 ALBERTO ALESINA Harvard University EDWARD GLAESER Harvard University BRUCE SACERDOTE Dartmouth College Why Doesn’t the United States Have a European-Style Welfare State? EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS REDISTRIBUTE income among their citizens on a much larger scale than does the U.S. government. European social pro- grams are more generous and reach a larger share of citizens. European tax systems are more progressive. European regulations designed to protect the poor are more intrusive. In this paper we try to understand why. The literature on the size of government is rich and varied. However, here we do not focus on the size of government as such, but rather on the redistributive side of government policies. Thus our goal is in one sense narrower than answering the question, “What explains the size of govern- ment?” since we focus on a single, but increasingly important, role of fis- cal policy. Yet in another sense our focus is broader, because redistributive policies go beyond the government budget—think, for instance, of labor market policies. We consider economic, political, and behavioral explanations for these differences between the United States and Europe. Economic explanations focus on the variance of income and the skewness of the income distribu- tion before taxes and transfers, the social costs of taxation, the volatility of income, and expected changes in income for the median voter. We con- clude that most of these theories cannot explain the observed differences. We are grateful to our discussants for very useful suggestions. We also thank William Easterly, Benjamin Friedman, Michael Mandler, Casey Mulligan, Roberto Perotti, Andrei Shleifer, Theda Skocpol, and a large number of conference participants for very useful com- ments.

  • 1 Writing 139W James Funk Essay 2
    1 Writing 139W James Funk Essay 2: Research-Based Argument In your first paper you brought Shakespeare’s Richard II into conversation with Puttenham’s The Art of English Poesy in order to make an argument about the relationship between language and politics in the early modern period. Both of these texts are considered “primary,” meaning that they were produced during the historical era under consideration, in this case sixteenth century England. While preparing for Essay 1, however, we read several articles or book chapters that are considered “secondary sources,” which provide historical/rhetorical/literary analyses of primary texts. I assigned these secondary sources not only so you could observe excellent models of close reading, but also to give you a sense of what reputable critics in the field of early modern studies have argued about our course readings. These scholars—particularly Cavanagh, Kastan, and Andrea—go to great lengths to situate themselves in the critical conversation about the text(s) they are analyzing, agreeing or disagreeing with the claims other scholars have made in order to demonstrate why their own arguments are significant and new. An effective analysis therefore requires not only a close reading of primary sources but the careful consideration of what others have said about these texts. Your goal in Essay 2 is to provide an analysis modeled on the scholarship we’ve read thus far; that is, you will both close read primary sources and position yourself in the critical conversation surrounding these texts. But whereas scholars like Cavanagh and Andrea focus exclusively on early modern writing, here you will be making an argument about how one of our course readings (Shakespeare, Puttenham, or Jonson) sheds light on a contemporary text.
