(Grandma) Purnell and her Grandson, Paul Purnell 187 DEDICATION To my country school teacher at the Martin School, District 30, I would like to give praise. Feme Hood Carter (Mrs. Charles) taught me the three "r ' s"--reading, writing and arithmetic. A good teacher is not always to be found and to have had one of the best for six years was my good fortune. Thanks, "Miss Feme." It is almost futile to attempt advanced education on a weak foundation so to have had one of the best teachers for so many years was a great privilege. When something good or bad happened to either of my two sisters or to myself, often my father would say, "Just tell them you are Charlie Purnell's daughter," or, "Did you tell them that you are Charlie Purnell's daughter?" At that time we were not aware of how much confidence our father was building in our minds and how he was giving us something far more valuable than worldly goods. To have con- fidence and faith in one's self is so necessary for "believing you can do a thing" is more than half the battle, so it is to my father that I want to give recognition. Then last, but the most important of all persons, is my Mother. It is she who started me out and is seeing me through to the finish-- building and rebuilding those qualities of character, determination, integrity, stability and intestinal fortitude--never complaining but making a full-time job of rearing her children, realizing her task is never a completed one but that there are always improvements which can and must be made and yet that too much chipping away on a "nearly com- pleted" product may spoil the statue. The youth of our schools are molded by capable teachers and good parents. Having had all three, to them I dedicate this book on the History of the Schools of Mahomet, the schools where I received my basic education. : PURPOSE I CAN'T SAY "No" From Oklahoma ^ t^^ ^ I'm just a girl who can' t say "Nu^ Because I can't say "No" and because the Twentieth Century is made up of committees of one kind or another who meet to set up a committee of one kind or another who must meet to appoint someone to be a committee of one to "DO"--well, that's how this book came into being. Reques ts (1) Will you act as Historian for the Rayburn family (a well-known family--my ances tors--in and around Mahomet)? I did, and have recorded the history back to the 1600 's. My interest has continued now to the re- cording of current history. I Can't Say "No" S^ (2) Will you act as Historian and write up the history of our Methodist Church (my church) for the Centennial? I did and the book was published in 1955, a book which not only covered the history of the Methodist Church and the other churches of the town, but briefly covered the business establish- ments, the schools, organizations, and the early town history, in general. I Can't Say "No" ^y (3) Will you give a talk at the monthly meeting of our Parent- Teacher's Association on the History of our Mahomet Schools? I did. The few old volumes with some information on the early history of Mahomet were studied, as well as Courthouse records. Town Board records, records of the School Board of Trustees, Director's Books and any others suggested which might carry information on our early school history. In addition, there was correspondence and conversation with the "Oldsters" and those persons who had been pupils in these Mahomet Schools. I Can't Say "No' i\ . (4) Now that you have the information collected, surely you will compile it into a book and make it available to others, won't you? I Can't Say "No" \ • Most persons spend from one fourth to one third of their lifetime in school so we all have memories of these early days. Perhaps as you read these pages, the incidents recorded will stir up a nostalgia. History repeats itself so the incidents recorded in this book may remind you of your school days whether they were spent in the one-room country school or in the town or city school. May these pages help you reminisce, However, we must never look back too long but rather catch up (or on) to the next astronaut and meet the future--on to a new day and a new age. ACKNOWLEDGMENT It would be impossible to acknowledge all those persons who made this written history of the Mahomet schools possible. I am indeed grateful to the many persons living in and around Mahomet and Champaign who have been students or teachers in our schools during these early days or have had near relatives who were early students and have related their experiences in these schools , telling of their wonderful memories and the bits of his- tory.

KEAT Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: September 12, 2012 Copyright 2017 ADST [Note: Mr. Keat is still editing the remainder of his full interview which will be added at a later date.] Q: Okay, today is the 12th of September 2012. This is an interview with Stephen K. Keat. This is being done on behalf of the Association of Diplomatic Studies and Training and I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. You go by Steve? KEAT: People always ask me that; you can call me anything you want, but technically Stephen is spelled with a ‘ph’ can’t be shortened to Steve. But people have been calling me Steve since I’ve been a little boy and that’s fine. Q: Well you can say Steph. KEAT: That would sound a little bit odd. Q: Okay, well when and where were you born? KEAT: I was born in Englewood Hospital, Englewood, New Jersey, March 9th, 1956. Q: Let’s take on your father’s side. Where did the Keats come from, what do you know about them? KEAT: The name was not Keat when he was born. He was Franz Kohn in German and František Kohn in Czech. He was born in what is today the Czech Republic and was at that time Austria-Hungary. His family was Jewish as you can tell from the name Kohn. He was born at the start of World War I. His father, Willibald Kohn, fought for Austria- Hungary and died in that war.

The Gaelic Names of Plants, reprinted from a series of ' articles in the Scottish Naturalist,' which have appeared during the last four years, are published at the request of many who wish to have them in a more convenient form. There might, perhaps, be grounds for hesitation in obtrud- ing on the public a work of this description, which can be of use to few the fact only comparatively ; but that no book exists containing a complete catalogue of Gaelic names of plants is at least some excuse for their publication in this separate form.

H. RUSBY, M.D. Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections; Member of the Scientific Directors and of the Board of Managers; Dean of the College of Pharmacy of Columbia University INTRODUCTION The plan of the Economic Museum provides for the illustration of all useful products derived directly from plants and, so far as practicable, for the presentation of characteristic specimens of the plants themselves. The United States possesses no such large general collec- tion of useful plant products as those to be found at Kew, South Kensington, Berlin, Calcutta, and other Old World centers. There are, indeed, many collections, some of them fairly large, which represent special industries, such as materia medica. Some of our larger drug houses possess extensive collections of this kind, but they are maintained chiefly for their own working purposes and are not founded on broad scientific lines. Several of our schools of phar- macy, notably that of Columbia University, strive for more j complete collections, but these are primarily designed for teaching purposes.

  • Mobilizing Against Mosques: the Origins of Opposition to Islamic Centers of Worship in Spain
    MOBILIZING AGAINST MOSQUES: THE ORIGINS OF OPPOSITION TO ISLAMIC CENTERS OF WORSHIP IN SPAIN by Avraham Y. Astor A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Howard Kimeldorf, Co-Chair Professor Margaret Somers, Co-Chair Associate Professor Andrew Shryock Associate Professor Geneviève Zubrzycki © Avi Astor 2011 In memory of my dear friend and mentor, Harold Juli. ii Acknowledgments This dissertation would not have been possible without the support that I received both in Spain and in Michigan. I am appreciative of the time that those whom I interviewed in Spain took to share their stories and opinions with me. As a foreigner, I was initially quite timid and anxious to engage with people about a topic that aroused so much controversy and emotion. However, nearly everyone that I interviewed conveyed a sense of appreciation for my interest in their lives, and provided thoughtful and forthright answers to my questions. I give special thanks to Angel Vendrell, Jordi Merino, and Myriam Boiza for taking me through their neighborhoods and assisting me with my recruitment of respondents. I am also grateful to Ricard Zapata Barrero and the Interdisciplinary Research Group in Immigration (GRITIM) at Pompeu Fabra University for providing me with needed resources and opportunities for critical feedback during the course of my fieldwork. Although it is impossible to acknowledge all of those who assisted me while in Spain, I wish to mention several scholars whose input was particularly useful for my work: Jordi Moreras, Mikel Aramburu, Teresa Losada, Joan Estruch, Bernabé López García, Alex Seglers, Enrique Santamaría Lorenzo, Elena Arigita, María del Mar Griera Llonch, Juli Ponce Solé, and Javier Rosón.
