  • Alumni Newsletter No. 22
    McGill University Alumni Newsletter #22 January 2019 Crystals form the building blocks of much of our world. Studying them closely lets us understand the structure of biomolecules of things like our bones and muscles, medications, and even chocolate. Here are five things you might not know about crystals and crystallography 1. Crystallography takes the prize The father and son combination of father William Henry Bragg and son William Lawrence Bragg first revealed the structure of salt and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 for their services “in the analysis of crystal structure by means of x-ray.” So far, the Braggs are the only father and son team to receive a Nobel Prize. In fact, crystallography is the science or discipline directly attributable to winning the most Nobel Prizes, taking the award 28 times. X-ray crystallography has developed at a rapid pace in the last 20 years. Scientists first used the technique over 100 years ago when they determined the crystal structure of salt. In essence, the method involves placing a tiny crystal in the path of an x-ray beam. As the x-ray passes through the crystal, the radiation is diffracted into a pattern by the atoms that make up the molecules in the crystal structure. The diffraction pattern is like a fingerprint that identifies not only the nature of the atoms and bonds in the molecules, but also their three-dimensional arrangement. It is the only analytical method that can achieve this level of analysis in such a complete and unambiguous fashion. 2. Around 90 percent of all drugs are crystals That’s because it’s much easier to control the solid state of a crystalline structure—even using a gel would involve crystals that are suspended in a gooey substance to aid the delivery of the drug involved.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • From the Closet to the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery
    175 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) From the Closet To the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery Evan Pavka This paper argues that the burials of individuals who engaged, or were speculated to have engaged, in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were in constant relation to the material and metaphoric closet. Due to limited archival material concerning cases of same-sex activity in Montreal, Canada, I look out toward international grave sites to construct a framework for analysis. Using case studies from French and American cemeteries alongside those in Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, I argue that, for those whose memory is directed by the living, the grave functions much like the closet—closing or disclosing what institutions and society deemed “abominable.” However, more powerful individuals were able to subvert the authority of the cemetery by immortalizing their “romantic friendships” in the grave. By navigating the binaries of the closet—closure/disclosure, hetero/homosexual and repression/pride— the grave has the potential to function as an important archive of identity, sexuality and memory. 176 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) The article ‘Israeli Supreme Court Rejects Family Petition To Bury Trans Woman As Their ‘Son’,’ published by Buzzfeed in 2015, outlines how the parents of trans-activist May Peleg sought to commemorate her as “their son.”1 Emphasizing burial as an instrument to rectify her gender and sexuality, the spatial realities of the closet embedded in this article parallel the burials of those who engaged in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 The article speaks to the continued presence of the closet—closing or disclosing gender and sexuality—in death.
