Coversheet for Thesis in Sussex Research Online 1 The Poetry of Female Radicalism in Depression-Era America by Karen Elizabeth Veitch Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies, University of Sussex, January 2012. 2 I hereby declare that this thesis has not been and will not be submitted in whole or in part to another University for the award of any other degree. Signature:……………………………………… 3 University of Sussex Karen Elizabeth Veitch DPhil in American Studies (Literature) The Poetry of Female Radicalism in Depression-Era America Summary This thesis examines womens’ poetry of the radical Left and organised labour movement of the Depression-Era United States and investigates the relationship between poetry and politics during this period. In so doing, it shows that women poets were concerned with precisely that problem: of poetry’s political function. The work of individual poets and the acts of collective cultural production explored in this thesis articulate a radical, politically transformative poetics at a time when the continued existence of poetry was perceived to be under threat from scientific advance and wider cultural changes. Juxtaposing analysis of Left modernist poets with poets of the labour movement, the chapters focus on three individual poets including Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980), Genevieve Taggard (1894-1948) and Miriam Tane (1916-2007). To provide an understanding of the role of poetry within a specific political movement and to establish the context in which Tane’s poetry was produced, two chapters are included which analyse the educational culture and the collective cultural production of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. One chapter focuses on the history of the ILGWU’s educational and cultural activities and the other analyses collections of poetry which the union produced. This thesis challenges the existing paradigm in which the study of American radical Left and labour poetry has been isolated from any broader enquiry about its relationship to class, American political history and also to literary modernism. This thesis advances two main arguments: that the poets considered in this thesis conceived of poetry as a politically transformative force; that these politically transformative understandings of poetry were rooted in in an engagement with the ideological and material contexts of the social movements to which these writers belonged. 4 Furthermore, this thesis considers poetry in terms of the material context of its publication, and the political uses to which it was put. 5 Contents Table of Figures........................................................................................................................... 7 Acknowledgments ....................................................................................................................... 8 Bibliographical Note ................................................................................................................... 9 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 10 0.1 From Utopia to the Dinner Table: A Discussion of the Political and Cultural Context... 10 0.2 Remembering Anew: The Position of the Thesis in Relation to Existing Criticism ......... 13 0.3 Tracing the Contours of Silence: The Scope and Methodology of the Thesis .................. 19 0.4 Mapping the Journey from Utopia to the Next Meal: An Outline of Structure and Content ................................................................................................................................................ 25 Chapter 1: “Exchange is creation”: The Revolutionary Poetics of Muriel Rukeyser ........ 30 1.1 A Brief Cultural History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics ................................... 31 1.2 Entropy and Economics .................................................................................................... 34 1.3 “Mathematics is a language”: Willard Gibbs as Theoretical Treatise .............................. 38 1.4 The Political Mechanics of “The Book of the Dead” ....................................................... 46 Chapter 2: The Poetics of Class-Consciousness: Reading Genevieve Taggard in the Context of the New Masses. ...................................................................................................... 66 2.1 “You’ll never be the same again”: Reading the New Masses in the 1930s. ..................... 72 2.2 Genevieve Taggard and the Critique of Individualism ..................................................... 76 2.3 Taggard’s Poetics of Collective Class-Consciousness ...................................................... 81 Chapter 3: The Role of Education and Literature within the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union ....................................................................................................... 101 3.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................... 101 3.2 “Wiping Out Social Illiteracy”: The Educational Culture of the ILGWU ...................... 101 3.3 “Builders of a New Culture”: The Role of Literature within the ILGWU’s Educational Department ............................................................................................................................ 114 Chapter 4 -

  • Henry Andrews Bumstead 1870-1920
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XIII SECOND MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD 1870-1920 BY LEIGH PAGE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1929 HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD BY LIUGH PAGE Henry Andrews Bumstead was born in the small town of Pekin, Illinois, on March 12th, 1870, son of Samuel Josiah Bumstead and Sarah Ellen Seiwell. His father, who was a physician of considerable local prominence, had graduated from the medical school in Philadelphia and was one of the first American students of medicine to go to Vienna to complete his studies. While the family was in Vienna, Bumstead, then a child three years of age, learned to speak German as fluently as he spoke English, an accomplishment which was to prove valuable to him in his subsequent career. Bumstead was descended from an old New England family which traces its origin to Thomas Bumstead, a native of Eng- land, who settled in Boston, Massachusetts, about 1640. Many of his ancestors were engaged in the professions, his paternal grandfather, the Reverend Samuel Andrews Bumstead, being a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and a minister in active service. From them he inherited a keen mind and an unusually retentive memory. It is related that long before he had learned to read, his Sunday school teacher surprised his mother by complimenting her on the ease with which her son had rendered the Sunday lesson. It turned out that his mother made a habit of reading the lesson to Bumstead before he left for school, and the child's remarkable performance there was due to his ability to hold in his memory every word of the lesson after hearing it read to him a single time.

  • Josiah Willard Gibbs
    GENERAL ARTICLE Josiah Willard Gibbs V Kumaran The foundations of classical thermodynamics, as taught in V Kumaran is a professor textbooks today, were laid down in nearly complete form by of chemical engineering at the Indian Institute of Josiah Willard Gibbs more than a century ago. This article Science, Bangalore. His presentsaportraitofGibbs,aquietandmodestmanwhowas research interests include responsible for some of the most important advances in the statistical mechanics and history of science. fluid mechanics. Thermodynamics, the science of the interconversion of heat and work, originated from the necessity of designing efficient engines in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Engines are machines that convert heat energy obtained by combustion of coal, wood or other types of fuel into useful work for running trains, ships, etc. The efficiency of an engine is determined by the amount of useful work obtained for a given amount of heat input. There are two laws related to the efficiency of an engine. The first law of thermodynamics states that heat and work are inter-convertible, and it is not possible to obtain more work than the amount of heat input into the machine. The formulation of this law can be traced back to the work of Leibniz, Dalton, Joule, Clausius, and a host of other scientists in the late 17th and early 18th century. The more subtle second law of thermodynamics states that it is not possible to convert all heat into work; all engines have to ‘waste’ some of the heat input by transferring it to a heat sink. The second law also established the minimum amount of heat that has to be wasted based on the absolute temperatures of the heat source and the heat sink.

  • A Conversation with Richard A. Olshen 3
    Statistical Science 2015, Vol. 30, No. 1, 118–132 DOI: 10.1214/14-STS492 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2015 A Conversation with Richard A. Olshen John A. Rice Abstract. Richard Olshen was born in Portland, Oregon, on May 17, 1942. Richard spent his early years in Chevy Chase, Maryland, but has lived most of his life in California. He received an A.B. in Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1963, and a Ph.D. in Statistics from Yale University in 1966, writing his dissertation under the direction of Jimmie Savage and Frank Anscombe. He served as Research Staff Statistician and Lecturer at Yale in 1966–1967. Richard accepted a faculty appointment at Stanford University in 1967, and has held tenured faculty positions at the University of Michigan (1972–1975), the University of California, San Diego (1975–1989), and Stanford University (since 1989). At Stanford, he is Professor of Health Research and Policy (Biostatistics), Chief of the Division of Biostatistics (since 1998) and Professor (by courtesy) of Electrical Engineering and of Statistics. At various times, he has had visiting faculty positions at Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and the Hebrew University. Richard’s research interests are in statistics and mathematics and their applications to medicine and biology. Much of his work has concerned binary tree-structured algorithms for classification, regression, survival analysis and clustering. Those for classification and survival analysis have been used with success in computer-aided diagnosis and prognosis, especially in cardiology, oncology and toxicology. He coauthored the 1984 book Classi- fication and Regression Trees (with Leo Brieman, Jerome Friedman and Charles Stone) which gives motivation, algorithms, various examples and mathematical theory for what have come to be known as CART algorithms.

  • Statement by Howard Bloch at the FAS Senate Meeting on October 15, 2020 Missed Opportunities
    Statement by Howard Bloch at the FAS Senate meeting on October 15, 2020 Missed Opportunities So much of what goes into making a university great has to do with meeting and matching the moment. Science at Yale began with such a recognition. When a meteorite fell on the morning of December 14, 1807 in Weston, CT, an enterprising young Professor of Chemistry, Benjamin Silliman, and a colleague, James Kingsley, who taught Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, set off two days later to bring it back to New Haven. The paper which Silliman presented to the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia in 1809 engendered a national debate and was probably the first scientific paper in America since those of Benjamin Franklin to attract notice in Europe. When it came to the natural sciences, Yale was unsurpassed by any American university in the nineteenth century, which began with Silliman and ended with Josiah Willard Gibbs whom Albert Einstein, leaving all relativity aside, pronounced “the greatest mind in American history.” But science lagged at Yale in the twentieth century, in part as a result of missed opportunities. Yale failed to hire Jewish scientists exiled from Germany and Hungary in the wake of the rise of Nazism in the 1930s and 40s. None of the exiled physicists who played major and supporting roles in the quantum revolution, Jewish or not, ended up in New Haven, but were welcomed at Princeton/IAS, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Cornell, the University of Chicago, UC-Berkeley, and Caltech. When we missed the revolution in physics in the first half of the century, we were ill-suited to participate in the revolution in genetics in the second half.

What is the nature of space (and space-time)? And where do we fit in? These are hard questions, and this course will not offer final answers. Rather, in this course we will acquire the tools and language to think critically about these questions. We will thoroughly investigate some of the most interesting topics in contemporary physics— the arrow of time, irreversibility, quantum mechanics, cosmology—through the lens of these big questions. Throughout, we will attack these areas via many different channels. This class should be accessible to non-physics majors—indeed, to those with minimal technical background at all—so we will focus on the concepts, exploring the key ideas with almost no math. At the same time, we will mix in ideas from philosophy, history, and art that also bear on these questions. This will make the course relevant and exciting both for those who feel a strong affinity with the arts and humanities as well as for those for whom science resonates more. 1 Importantly, the course will also expose what the scientific method is and how science has been shaped by broader currents in history, culture, and philosophy, and in turn, how it has shaped them.
