MOFFETT COCHRAN In November, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation lost a dedicated leader and ardent advocate when G. Moffett Cochran passed away after a decade-long battle with cancer. Moffett was the embodi- ment of Jefferson’s hopes for graduates of the University of Virginia. A leader and friend to many while a student at the University and throughout his professional career, Moffett led by example and with honor and integrity throughout his life. Those who knew Moffett would all agree that he was a man who demonstrated unwavering loyalty to his family, friends, and colleagues. A true Renaissance man, like Mr. Jefferson, Moffett was an accomplished fisherman and hunter and loved traveling the world. As Chairman of the Jefferson Scholars Board of Directors, Moffett was tireless in his efforts to insure that the Foundation never settled for less than its own aspirational excel- lence. Moffett’s friends, family and former colleagues from throughout his career are honoring him by building Cochran House, a well-appointed retreat and place to stay for distinguished guests of the University. Moffett and his family have been a vital part of the University for generations. Cochran House will recognize this familial legacy and will serve as a gracious and welcoming desti- nation for the next generation of guests. It will also be a fitting recognition for all that Moffett stood for in his life and meant to the Jefferson Scholars Foundation.

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

  • Summer 2021 Module Catalogue
    LONDON INTERNATIONAL SUMMER PROGRAMME MODULE CATALOGUE 2021 Introduction Welcome to the London International Summer Programme Module Catalogue 2021. The international summer programme offers students the option of studying modules from an introductory level to a more advanced level, in a given subject area. Students opting to study for the entire six-week session will take two modules in total, whilst students participating on only the three week session will take one module. Module Credits All credits obtained during the international summer school will be awarded via an official academic transcript from the University of Westminster with each module being worth 20 UK credits, which normally equates to 4 US or 10 ECTS credits. All modules must be taken on a credit-bearing basis and students will not have the option to audit any module on offer. Module Levels At the University of Westminster, modules are validated at a level corresponding to a particular year of study. The levels used are: • Level 4, which is equivalent to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree • Level 5, which is equivalent to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree • Level 6, which is equivalent to the 3rd year of an undergraduate degree The levels used at the University of Westminster may be different to the overseas systems that you are used to. This should be taken into consideration when making module choices. Some overseas institutions (e.g. US and Japanese universities) consider the first year of their undergraduate degrees to be the equivalent to a foundation year of UK university undergraduate degree. Therefore, University of Westminster modules at Level 4 may be considered to be equivalent to modules taken in the second year of undergraduate degrees in the US and Japan.

  • The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain
    Crossing the Channel: The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain By Catherine Cheney Senior Honors Thesis Department of Art History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 8, 2016 Approved: 1 Introduction: French Impressionism in England As Impressionism spread throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century, the movement took hold in the British art community and helped to change the fundamental ways in which people viewed and collected art. Impressionism made its debut in London in 1870 when Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Durand-Ruel sought safe haven in London during the Franco- Prussian war. The two artists created works of London landscapes done in the new Impressionist style. Paul Durand-Ruel, a commercial dealer, marketed the Impressionist works of these two artists and of the other Impressionist artists that he brought over from Paris. The movement was officially organized for the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 in Paris, but the initial introduction in London laid the groundwork for promoting this new style throughout the international art world. This thesis will explore, first, the cultural transformations of London that allowed for the introduction of Impressionism as a new style in England; second, the now- famous Thames series that Monet created in the 1890s and notable exhibitions held in London during the time; and finally, the impact Impressionism had on private collectors and adding Impressionist works to the national collections. With the exception of Edouard Manet, who met with success at the Salon in Paris over the years and did not exhibit with the Impressionists, the modern artists were not received well.
