  • Class of 1981 New Student Handbook
    ()tJ~ 0 ~ @ ~ - ....... ,,,...... ~ @ It could almost begin "once upon a time." The necessary ingredi ents are there--a dream, a castle, a sense of ever after. But the tale is not a fable; it is the amazing story of Brandeis University. For more than a century American Jews had nurtured a dream of creating a university which evoked their ancient heritage of scholarship and their gratitude to a nation which offered them haven and freedom . On October 11, 1948, the dream became a reality. Th e first Jewish-sponsored, nonsectarian university in the United States, named in memory of Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis , opened its doors on the campus of what had been Middlesex Un iversity . Startling in contrast t o the few buildings which originally dotted the 250-acre campus stood--perhaps as a portend to future greatness--a castle .. This imposing structure, designed after medieval architecture, had been part of Middlesex. Known as the Usen Castle, it is still a campus landmark, but is now surrounded by 70 buildings--some perhaps more impressive, but none so unique . Dr . Abram L. Sachar, historian and teacher , became Brandeis' first president and served in that capacity for twenty years at which time he became chancellor of the University. His recently published book, A Host At Last, chronicles the fantas tic growth of Brandeis--thanks to the steadfast commi t ment and magnificent generosity of the American J ewish community. Dr . Marver H. Bernstein, former dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princet on University, has been president since 1972.

  • Transistor Radio Shoot-Out at Menotomy Rocks Park (2009)
    Transistor Radio Shoot-Out at Menotomy Rocks Park Mark Connelly, WA1ION – 14 APR 2009 I ran a series of tests on a number of transistor radios to assess comparative sensitivity, selectivity, and strong-signal handling ability. Five divisions were defined. Those divisions and the receivers in each used in the initial set of qualifying runs at several sites are listed below. An asterisk (*) next to an item indicates that it moved on to the final set of daytime tests held at Menotomy Rocks Park (Arlington, MA: GC = 42.41 N / 71.169 W) on 14 APR 2009. This location is adjacent to where I had lived and DX’ed from 1958 to 1974 and is about 8 miles / 13 km south of my present home in the Pinehurst section of Billerica. The site is on the eastern flank of a large hill facing Boston and the Atlantic Ocean about 7 miles / 11 km away. The receiver in each division that was selected to go to the final round was the one exhibiting the best weak signal audio recovery. Selectivity and immunity to images / spurs were secondary considerations in the qualifying rounds. Unmodified Ultralight Division – Analog Readout Sony SRF-59 (optimally aligned by Gary DeBock, N7EKX) * Sony SRF-39FP (optimally aligned by Gary DeBock, N7EKX) Kaito WRX-911 Comments: All three of these radios came very close in sensitivity but the SRF-39FP had the slight edge especially on the low end of the dial where it produced somewhat readable audio on WABC-770 NYC and a carrier trace from WMCA-570 NYC in the metro-Boston area daytime groundwave tests.

  • Grahm Juior College 1978 Yearbook, Boston Massachusetts
    sOMSomeE fifty students at Grahm Junior College •.in Boston began a hunger strike u c last Tuesday in an attempt to stop the col- lege's closure. · The fasting students Ha.ll, along with many have assembled in the supporters, as the col- auditorium of Kenmore lege's administration brought bankruptcy proceedings into the Massachusetts courts. The 1978 Lion is a pictorialrecap of the new and different atmosphere that is present in the Grahm Junior College community, The major theme of the book centers around rebirth The college was, in a sense, reborn this year as we picked up the pieces after a fallen semester. Many new and exciting things happened in drahm during the 1977-78 school year, and hopefully the yearbook has captured many or most of those memories; Grahm's uniqueness lies within its curriculum, as well as: it'ss faculty, staff, adminstration and students. We are a two year college devoted entirely to the field of communications. Taking this into consideration, my staff and I decided to give the students achance to communicate through this year's Grahm Lion. Space was allotted to each senior, allowing him to express himself in the way he would like to be remembered. onbehalf of the staff of the 1978 Lion, I would like to make the following dedication: This yearbook is dedicated to you, the people who make up theGrahm academic community, for having enough faith in this college to return to it and support it. This year would not have been possible without you, the students, faculty, staffand administration of Grahm Junior College.
