Printed in the United Staffs ttj America THIS VOLUME IS GRATEFULLY INSCRIBED TO MY WIFE ANNE CRAWFORD FLEXNER AND MY ELDEST BROTHER DR. J, A. FLEXNER CONTENTS PAGE PREFACE vii PART I : THE IDEA OF A MODERN UNIVERSITY 3 PART II : AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES 39 PART III: ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES * 221 PART IV: GERMAN UNIVERSITIES .... 305 PREFACE volume is an expansion of three lectures on THISUniversities given at Oxford in May 1928 on the invitation of the Rhodes Trust. The invitation stipu- lates that the lecturer reside at Oxford during the en- tire term in which the lectures are given a provision that may be unreservedly commended, first, because the lecturer is thus enabled to feel something of Ox- ford's charm, secondly, because quite unconsciously he gains rather more than he is likely to impart. This is true of one Rhodes lecturer, at least. From the autumn of 1928 to the summer of 1929, I visited the universities of Germany and England for the purpose of obtaining a fresh view of their situa- tion, problems, and efforts. The whole of the next year, 1929-1930, was devoted to gathering additional data and to rewriting. In May 1930 the Oxford Uni- versity Press printed and bound the original proof sheets in page form, and I was thus enabled to submit the text to about thirty men, professors and adminis- trators in America and Europe, who read it with care and commented on it freely and helpfully.

    Media Coverage of Oil Sands Pipelines: A Chronological Record of Headlines from 2010 to 2014 Oil Sands Research and Information Network School of Energy and the Environment University of Alberta December 2014 Oil Sands Research and Information Network The Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN) is a university-based, independent organization that compiles, interprets and analyses available knowledge about managing the environmental impacts to landscapes and water affected by oil sands mining and gets that knowledge into the hands of those who can use it to drive breakthrough improvements in regulations and practices. OSRIN is a project of the University of Alberta’s School of Energy and the Environment (SEE). OSRIN was launched with a start-up grant of $4.5 million from Alberta Environment and a $250,000 grant from the Canada School of Energy and Environment Ltd. OSRIN provides: Governments with the independent, objective, and credible information and analysis required to put appropriate regulatory and policy frameworks in place Media, opinion leaders and the general public with the facts about oil sands development, its environmental and social impacts, and landscape/water reclamation activities – so that public dialogue and policy is informed by solid evidence Industry with ready access to an integrated view of research that will help them make and execute environmental management plans – a view that crosses disciplines and organizational boundaries OSRIN recognizes that much research has been done in these areas by a variety of players over 40 years of oil sands development. OSRIN synthesizes this collective knowledge and presents it in a form that allows others to use it to solve pressing problems.

  • 1 the Crown and Honours
    The Crown and Honours: Getting it Right Christopher McCreery I N T R O D U C T I O N In the words of that early scholar of Commonwealth autonomy, Sir Arthur Berridale Keith, “The Crown is the fount of all honour.”i The role of the Crown as the fount of all official honours in Canada is a precept that is as old and constant as is the place of the Crown in our constitutional structure. Since the days of King Louis XIV residents of Canada have been honoured by the Crown for their services with a variety of orders, decorations and medals. The position of the Crown in the modern Canadian honours system is something that is firmly entrenched, despite consistent attempts to marginalize it in recent years. Indeed honours are not something separate from the Crown, they are an integral element of the Crown. A part that affords individuals with official recognition for what are deemed as good works, or in the modern context, exemplary citizenship. Just last year we witnessed the Queen’s direct involvement in the honours system when she appointed Jean Chrétien as a member of the Order of Merit. While many commentators and officials in Canada seemed confused as to just what this honour is – the highest civil honour for service – people did realize how significant it was, in large part because it came not from a committee or politician, but directly from the Sovereign. With this paper I will delve into the central role the Crown and Sovereign play in the creation of honours and I will also explore the areas where attention and reform are required in the Canadian honours system.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Why Vegan? Rev
    THE TRANSFORMATION OF ANIMALS INTO FOOD Many people believe that animals raised for food must be treated well because sick or dead animals would be of no use to agribusiness. This is not true. INDUSTRIALIZED CRUELTY: FACTORY FARMING The competition to produce inexpensive meat, eggs, and dairy products has led animal agribusiness to treat animals as objects and commodities. The worldwide trend is to replace small family farms with “factory farms”—large warehouses where animals are confined in crowded cages or pens or in restrictive stalls. “U.S. society is extremely naive about the nature of agricultural production. “[I]f the public knew more about the way in which agricultural and animal production infringes on animal welfare, the outcry would be louder.” BERNARD E. ROLLIN, PhD Farm Animal Welfare, Iowa State University Press, 2003 Hens in crowded cages suffer severe feather loss. Bernard Rollin, PhD, explains that it is “more economically efficient to put a greater number of birds into each cage, accepting lower productivity per bird but greater productivity per cage… individual animals may ‘produce,’ for example gain weight, in part because they are immobile, yet suffer because of the inability to move.… Chickens are cheap, cages are expensive.” 1 In a November 1993 article in favor of reducing space from 8 to 6 square feet per pig, industry journal National Hog 2 Farmer advised, “Crowding pigs pays.” Inside a broiler house. Birds Virtually all U.S. birds raised for food are factory farmed. 2 Inside the densely populated buildings, enormous amounts of waste accumulate. The result- ing ammonia levels commonly cause painful burns to the birds’ skin, eyes, and respiratory tracts.

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.
