Sewanee News, 1978-79 TheSewanee News MARCH 1978 LAND-USE STUDY BEGINS The University of the South has be- gun a comprehensive land-use study of its 10,000 acre domain, a study that could lead to significant changes in forest management, housing practices, energy produc- tion, and business development. Almost no aspect of land use at Sewanee will be untouched by the study. Charles O. Baird, chairman of the forestry and geology depart- ment, is coordinating the study, . which was requested last fall by the interim administration and the Board of Regents.

    Oral History of Harvey Cragon Interviewed by: Rosemary Remacle Recorded: May 28, 2009 Dallas, Texas CHM Reference number: X5372.2009 © 2009 Computer History Museum Oral History of Harvey Cragon Harvey Cragon: I’m Harvey Cragon. I’m presently retired. My last employer was the University of Texas at Austin where I taught in the School of Engineering. My wife and I live in a retirement community here in Dallas and I currently write books on World War II computing technology. The first was one on the Colossus computer developed at Bletchley Park to decipher the German fiche [??] ciphers. The second one was on the Torpedo Data Computer used on American fleet submarines to set up the steering equations to the torpedoes prior to launch. I’m currently working on the Norden bombsight. The Colossus computer was an electronic vacuum tube machine. The Torpedo Data Computer was a mechanical analog as is the Norden bombsight. Rosemary Remacle: Where were you born? Cragon: I was born in Ruston, Louisiana in 1929. My parents had been married in the early 1920s and they moved to Ruston. He was a manufacturer’s representative for a shoe manufacturer in St. Louis, Missouri. Early in my life, when I was about two years old, the family moved to Monroe, Louisiana where I lived until about 1940 when we moved to Alexandria, Louisiana. I graduated from high school in Alexandria, Bolton High School. Remacle: Did you travel outside of Louisiana when you were growing up? Cragon: We traveled. I had three brothers and my mother had the task of raising four boys while my father traveled, which was quite a task.

    The Armstrong Photographs P6A Part I Albums Loose Prints University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Armstrong Photographs Reference Code: IE 2135 P6 A Title: The Armstrong Photographs Dates of Creation: 1867-1981 Level of Description: Fonds Extent and Medium: 85 boxes (2147 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): The Armstrong family of Moyaliffe Castle, county Tipperary, and the related families of Maude of Lenaghan, county Fermanagh; Everard of Ratcliffe Hall, Leicestershire; Kemmis of Ballinacor, county Wicklow; Russell of Broadmead Manor, Kent; and others. Biographical History: Captain Marcus Beresford Armstrong (1859-1923) was the eldest child and only son William Armstrong (1826-1889) of Ballydavid, county Waterford, by his wife Catherine Clark. He served in the 8th Brigade of the Northern Irish Division of the Royal Artillery and, in 1889, succeeded to the Moyaliffe estate following the death of his uncle, Captain Edward Marcus Armstrong. The year before his succession, he had married Rosalie Maude (1868-1956), second daughter of Maurice Ceely Maude (1820- 1904) of Lenaghan Park, Enniskillen, county Fermanagh. Rosalie’s paternal grandfather, the Reverend John Charles Maude (1792-1860), rector of Enniskillen, was the fifth son of Cornwallis Maude, first Viscount Hawarden (1729-1803), of Dundrum, County Tipperary, from his marriage to his third wife, Anne Isabella Monck, sister of first Viscount Monck. Captain Marcus and Rosalie Armstrong had four children. The eldest, William Maurice Armstrong (b. 1889), known in his childhood and early youth as Maurice and later as Pat, followed the distinguished military tradition of his family, rising to the rank of Captain in the Tenth Royal Hussars (the Prince of Wales’s Own).

  • Sewanee News, 1980
    TheSewanee News MARCH 1980 Symposium on Business Perhaps the most neglected area of Southern history is its business history, and a remedy for that will begin with the First Annual Sewanee Economics Symposium April 3-5. The theme for the symposium is "Business in the New South: A Historical Perspec- tive." Marvin E. Goodstein, professor of economics and coordinator for the symposium, said Sewanee is taking a lead in the historical study because little research has been done in Southern business history (though southerners are interested in other aspects of their history), and because busi- ness history itself shows signs of expanding significantly. Panels are being formed with academic persons in economics, history, and business, business persons who have access to valu- able records, and archivists and librarians. Professor Goodstein said he expects the symposium will answer a need for more study in business history. Also, it is expected to generate additional interest in busi- ness history and generate coopera- tion between the business and university communities. Panels are being formed to discuss four aspects of business in the South—the early problems, the modern successes, the future, and a cooperative approach to preserving the records of Southern business. The panel chairmen include Jeremy Atack of the University of Illinois, Albert Niemi of the Uni- versity of Georgia, Fred Bateman of Indiana University and the University of the South, and Robert Lovett, curator of manuscripts and archives for Harvard Business School. Goodstein said he expects Professor Goodstein will chair executive officer of Vulcan Ma- banquet will begin at 6.30 at Sewa- Mr.
