To the members of the Class of 1999, the university extends sincere congratulations. Washington State University is dedicated to the preparation of students for productive lives and professional careers, to basic and applied research in a variety of areas, and to the dissemination of knowledge. The university consists of ten colleges, a graduate school, the College of Nursing/Intercollegiate Center for Nursing Education in Spokane and Yakima, the Center for Hotel and Restaurant Administration in Seattle, and branch campuses in Spokane, Tri-Cities, and Vancouver. It also has extension offices in all 39 counties, four research centers, and 16 small business development offices statewide. The univer­ sity also is responsible for administration of the Washington Higher Education Telecommunications System, which trans­ mits courses to eight locales. For nearly a century, Washington State University has offered strong and diverse programs. From its founding in 1890, liberal arts and sciences have occupied an important place in the curriculum along with business, education, nursing, pharmacy, and the traditional land-grant programs in agriculture, home economics, veterinary medicine, and engineering. WSU now offers more than 100 major fields of study to undergraduate students. Bachelor's degrees are available in most subject areas. The Honors Program, administered by the Honors College, is one of the few all-university programs for superior students at a major American institution of higher learning. The faculty, including a substantial number of scholars with national and international reputations, is charged with the development of instructional methods that will open students' minds to the most recent knowledge and discoveries. The opportunity for students to know and work closely with their instructors is one advantage of a residential campus. Washington State University at Pullman is one of the largest residential universities west of the Mississippi. Of the approxi­ mately 16,000 undergraduates and 2,000 graduate students, about halflive on campus in university housing or in fraterni­ ties or sororities. Here, students of diverse social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds from throughout the nation and more than 90 foreign lands come together in a community in which education is the principal industry and human development the primary concern. Approximately 3,000 additional students were enrolled in courses this year at the university's branch campuses. The branch campuses in Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver provide educational opportunities for place-bound citizens. The 1999 Commencement Program includes those degree candidates from August 1998 through May 1999. Those previously awarded degrees are denoted with an asterisk (*). Appearance of a name in this program is presumptive evidence of graduation and graduation honors, but it must not in any sense be regarded as conclusive. The university diploma, signed and sealed by proper officers, remains the official testimony of the possession of the degree. Text will be displayed on reader boards located above sections 32 and 14. Closed circuit public address systems for those who are hard of hearing are available on a limited basis at the Director's Office located near section 14 in the outside concourse of Beasley Coliseum. The names of the degree recipients are called in random order as they approach the podium. Therefore, they will not be viewed on the reader boards. Each student will be viewed on big screens via video as they receive their diploma cover. 5 A HISTORICAL VIEW OF COMMENCEMENT BACKGROUND Universities that developed during the Middle Ages formulated academic practices that are still followed today. This medieval heritage has provided us with a teaching institution-the university; a method of measuring academic progress-degrees; and a structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing the student's achievement-commencement. In medieval times, a master (from the Latin magister, "teacher") was a person licensed to teach by the chancellor of the Cathe­ dral of Notre Dame in Paris. As the number of masters increased, they ultimately formed a guild. The word universitas was a common term applied to any collectivity, including that of guilds. The university probably took form around 1170 as a guild of teachers rather than a union of faculties. It was sanctioned by Pope Innocent III in 1210 in a bull which recognized and approved the written statutes of the teachers' guild. By approximately 1250 the University of Paris masters were divided into four faculties: theology, canon law, medicine, and the arts. The art students, by far the greatest number, correspond to our "undergraduates" of today. They ultimately organized themselves into "nations" based on the geographical regions of Europe from which they came. The universities, international in their appeal both to students and scholars, sought and received support from the papacy. Students attended classes, heard lectures, and engaged in disputations, but there appears to have been no examination unless a student determined to become a master. After four or five years of resident study, the student, indicating an intention to become a master, would be tested. Passing these trials, the candidate would don a special gown and take a seat with the bachalari, or bachelors. This ceremony was often followed by a feast. Between the baccalaureate and the master's degree, the student obtained a licentiate, an authorization to teach. Until the Civil War, the American college system was based on the English model. Most colleges stood alone, rather than being part of a university, and the baccalaureate was the only earned degree awarded. The curriculum was

  • Facts Necessary to Understanding the Hawaiian
    FACTS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION David Keanu Sai, Ph.D. June 11, 2019 Fundamental to deciphering the Hawaiian situation is to discern between a state of peace and a state of war. This bifurcation provides the proper context by which certain rules of international law would or would not apply. The laws of war—jus in bello, otherwise known today as international humanitarian law, are not applicable in a state of peace. Inherent in the rules of jus in bello is the co-existence of two legal orders, being that of the occupying State and that of the occupied State. As an occupied State, the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom has been maintained for the past 126 years by the positive rules of international law, notwithstanding the absence of effectiveness, which is required during a state of peace.1 The failure of the United States to comply with international humanitarian law, for over a century, has created a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions where war crimes have since risen to a level of jus cogens. At the same time, the obligations have erga omnes characteristics— flowing to all States. The international community’s failure to intercede, as a matter of obligatio erga omnes, is explained by the United States deceptive portrayal of Hawai‘i as an incorporated territory. As an international wrongful act, States have an obligation to not “recognize as lawful a situation created by a serious breach … nor render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation,”2 and States “shall cooperate to bring to an end through lawful means any serious breach [by a State of an obligation arising under a peremptory norm of general international law].”3 The gravity of the Hawaiian situation has been heightened by North Korea’s announcement that “all of its strategic rocket and long range artillery units ‘are assigned to strike bases of the U.S.

  • Mayors Support 30X30
    Mayors Support 30x30 Protecting 30% of America’s Land and Ocean by 2030 I, Mayor ________ of __________, support local, state, and federal action to confront America’s nature crisis by pursuing a goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our nation’s lands and ocean by 2030. Nature is indispensable to the health and prosperity of every community in America. We depend on our forests and streams for clean drinking water and clean air. Our lands are a place of cultural, ecological, and sacred resources that have sustained humanity for generations. Our ocean supplies wild fish that feed our country and provide endless wonder and enjoyment. Our rivers, mountains, and deserts are where families unplug and reconnect. Our parks, open spaces, beaches, trails, and public lands enrich communities’ quality of life and power America’s outdoor recreation economy. Our very existence depends upon the survival of a rich diversity of natural life. Achieving 30x30 will require an ambitious and inclusive movement that engages local, state, national and Tribal leaders, as well as private landowners, as part of the solution. Efforts to conserve, protect, and restore our natural world will be guided by science, protect private property rights, honor Tribal sovereignty, and engage local communities to ensure that the benefits of nature are equitably shaped and shared by all. Positive, bipartisan, community-driven conservation efforts are already happening in our community. I pledge to continue to pull stakeholders together—recognizing this goal will take action at the neighborhood, community, state, and national level. Together, we can and must protect nature for generations to come.

  • President Donald J. Trump the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C
    President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: As elected officials, we write today to express our strong support for resettling refugees in our states and communities and urge you to resettle at least 75,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2019. We hope that you will take into consideration the voices of state and local communities as we join together in support of this life-saving program and express their desire to help protect refugees in need. Every day, 44,000 people are displaced from their homes because of violence, persecution, or war. The United Nations Refugee Agency reports that over 68.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, 25.4 million of whom are registered as refugees. More than half of those registered are children. Despite this ongoing crisis, last year the United States set its lowest ever resettlement goal of 45,000 refugees, and to date, has only resettled 18,214 refugees this fiscal year. This is one of the lowest numbers of refugees the U.S. has resettled in the history of the program, at the time of the greatest need. We can do so much more. The United States of America is a nation founded and built by immigrants and refugees. It is that history that makes our collective states and communities strong; it is our deep respect for hard work, our shared commitment to the country we call home, and our belief that America is a beacon of hope, that unites us. We have heard our constituents express their support for resettling refugees in our communities.

  • The Melvill Family and India
    The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857 – UCL History The Melvill Family and India By David Williams Please note that this case study was first published on blogs.ucl.ac.uk/eicah in May 2014. For citation advice, visit: http://blogs.uc.ac.uk/eicah/usingthewebsite. On 3 July 1748, in the Scottish town of Dunbar, Baillie John Melvill and Jean Fall,1 children of two of the prominent families of the town, were married.2 Dunbar lies approximately 30 miles due east of Edinburgh and about the same distance north of Berwick-upon-Tweed in the county of East Lothian (which was called Haddingtonshire until 1921). John and Jean Melvill are my wife’s five times great grandparents. John and Jean had seven children, four boys and three girls, who are referred to in this case study as ‘The First Generation’. The Act of Union between England and Scotland in 1707 had opened up opportunities for Scots, especially the younger sons of the landed and middle classes, in the now British armies and overseas in the expanding empire.3 Two of the Melvill boys, John, the second oldest (c.1751-1818), and Philip, the youngest (1760-1811), followed this path. Both went to India as young men, but their experiences there could not have been more different. John spent the whole of his working life as a civil servant and judge in India before retiring back to England. Philip came back to Britain still a young man, married and had nine children. Two of his six boys died before fully reaching adulthood, but the other four all had long and varied careers in the service of the East India Company (EIC), three in London and one in India.

  • Mayors for Solar Energy
    For more information, visit: https://environmentamerica.org/feature/ame/mayors-solar-energy Mayors for Solar Energy We, the undersigned U.S. Mayors and local officials, resolve to make solar energy a key element of our communities' energy plans. Accelerating the growth of solar will reduce pollution while revitalizing our communities by creating jobs and keeping energy dollars in our local economies. Expanding solar power helps residents and businesses benefit from lower energy costs while providing more local control of energy and improving our communities' resilience. Therefore, solar energy can and should be a much larger part of our energy mix than it is today. The U.S. has the potential to produce 100 times more solar power than the total amount of energy we consume each year. We must continue to harness this vast source of clean energy for the benefit of all of our citizens. As local leaders, we know that our communities are particularly well-suited to adopt solar power. Cities and towns are natural centers of electricity demand, have the rooftops and infrastructure needed for installing solar panels, and can craft policies to help residents and utilities make the switch to solar power. With a concerted effort underway on the state and federal levels to limit the growth of solar by fossil fuel special interests, communities like ours across the country need to act quickly to continue our progress toward renewable energy. By signing this statement in support of solar, we commit to supporting efforts to advance solar energy in our local communities, states, and the nation.
