Fred came to DU in 1986, to teach American literature, primarily in the period of 19th century American literature, but also branching back into the colonial period and forward into the early 20th century. As a scholar, Fred’s career-long focus on Nathaniel Hawthorne includes his monograph, Hawthorne’s Divided Loyalties: England and America in His Works, and numerous articles and essays on Hawthorne and other 19th century American writers. As editor of the Hawthorne Review for 16 years, he contributed valuably to the international study of this author For questions or and devoted many, many hours to mentoring submissions, contact: the scholarly work of others.

But what really strikes me when I stand in Bernie’s office, Duquesne University surrounded by row upon row of books—this temple of literature This spring marks his fortieth year of teaching at —is how much the shelves reflect the habits of his mind, his love Duquesne. He came here in the late fall of 1971 of the intellectual life, and his absolute faith in this life as a way as a graduate Teaching Fellow and then joined the English to enrich the human experience, individually and as a society. Department’s faculty after graduating. Bernie’s own intellectual quest has been both deep and wide- ranging, for he absorbs knowledge from everything, welcoming Bernie has taught Medieval and Renaissance literature for us, in the most difficult, arduous routes of reading, thinking, and talking. courses devoted to luminaries like Spenser, Chaucer, Dante, and At the same time, he seeks a grace in language that I can only Milton; the breadth of his teaching is remarkable, having ranged describe as poetic. from the ancient classics of Plato and Socrates to medieval poetry to J.R.R.Tolkien and contemporary global literatures. Bernie’s Bernie loves language, and that includes a good conversation, various courses in Catholic writers have engaged students with whether it’s about the form of T.S. Eliot’s long poem The Four the integration of intellect and faith that marks the achievement Quartets or about the merits of real grass on a baseball field. and the struggle of so many of the writers he taught. He never tired Along with my English department colleagues, I have always of imagining new courses, drawing upon the seeming infinity of found Bernie to be generous with his knowledge (and his books), authors he has read. but more importantly, to insist upon the humanity of the work we do as teachers and scholars and the way in which we connect And so—books. To walk into Bernie’s office is to encounter more with and conduct ourselves with each other. That human quality books than you could ever imagine could occupy that small has taught me much more, finally, than all of the books on those space. Bernie has more books than anyone I know, and he is shelves. impressively artful in designing ways to construct shelves to store So, in saying goodbye to Fred and Bernie, it’s difficult to say enough about either of these colleagues. And while I’m struck, always, with their unstinting love of literature and fascination with the written word, there’s a particular quality they also share that I feel I need to mention before closing. I want to praise their ability to disagree. As colleagues engaged in literary studies, we have not always agreed on everything, from departmental policy to scholarly method to literary value, but I always counted on Bernie and Fred to be honest and true to their principles. The Romantic visionary poet William Blake imagined a cosmic order energized by what he called “contraries,” and he wrote in his epic Heaven and Hell, “Without contraries is no progression.” I want to thank Bernie and Fred for their valuable moments of contrariness over the years, the coming together of differences that has generated much life and progress and moving forward, and to take this moment to say, again in praise, that you’ve taught me—us—a lot.

  • Periodic Review Report
    Periodic Review Report Presented by Juniata College July 1, 2008 President: Thomas R. Kepple, Jr. Chief Academic Officer: James J. Lakso, PhD Commission action which preceded this report: Accreditation Reaffirmed Date of the decennial evaluation team’s visit: March 16-19, 2003 Executive Summary Juniata College is an independent, coeducational liberal arts college. The college was founded in 1876 by members of the Church of the Brethren to prepare individuals “for the useful occupations of life.” The first classes were held on April 17, 1876 in a second story room over a local printing shop. Three students attended, two of them women. In 1879, classes were moved to Founders Hall on the present campus, located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Huntingdon, the county seat, has a current population of approximately 8,000. Huntingdon is located in the mountains of scenic central Pennsylvania, midway between Interstate 80 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In 1896, Juniata was accredited as a four year liberal arts institution. The first bachelor of arts degree was awarded in 1897 and the first bachelor of science in 1920. Originally a joint stock entity, Juniata was chartered as a nonprofit institution in 1908. From its inception, Juniata devoted itself to liberal education within the context of ethical values and useful citizenship. Our recently revised mission statement reflects our commitment to these goals. The campus contains 43 buildings, a 315 acre nature preserve, and a 365 acre environmental field station. The von Liebig Center for Science, with state of the art classrooms and laboratories, was opened in 2002. Capital improvements in the past five years include renovations, refurbishments, and new construction.

    Paper Presentation Abstracts Teaching Textual Variety: Pedagogical and Research Implications Dr. Jessica M. Jost-Costanzo, Associate Professor and Chair Department of Arts, Communication Studies, and English, Mount Aloysius College, [email protected] In 2015 the phrase “digital amnesia” was discussed frequently by textual scholars, and even by mainstream journalists. The phrase can be used to describe the reader’s ability/inability to retain information gleaned from digital text, but for the purposes of this study the phrase as it denotes the loss of text in the digital sphere is the focus. The World According to Google, a popular documentary film released in 2015, features numerous interviews with historians and techies who make it their mission to save information that will be lost when it is quite simply deleted. Yes, the Internet Archive takes a regular “snapshot” of the internet, but this does not make information that was deleted easily findable or available, especially for research purposes. The purpose of this presentation will be to present and discuss how this concept of digital amnesia impacts students even today. The questions that will be addressed include the following: Is there information that is lost to students? How do students find information that has been snapshotted? Also, how do we talk to students about texts in our classes? How can we provide great instruction on research that relies on the extensive databases that are available to students while also giving them some foundational instruction using traditional hard copy texts? The hope is that students can understand the value of interacting with texts in all formats.
