  • Singing in ‘The Peg’: the Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20Th Century
    Singing in ‘The Peg’: The Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20th Century Muriel Louise Smith Doctor of Philosophy University of York Music September 2015 This thesis is dedicated to my parents, William Moore (1910-1982) Ann Moore (1916-2011) who inspired, demanded excellence, and loved me. 2 Abstract The research begins by establishing Winnipeg, as a city comprised of many different European immigrant communities where the dominant British-Canadian culture reflected the Canadian national consciousness of the early 20th century. After an outline of early musical life in the city, four case studies demonstrate how the solo vocal and choral culture in Winnipeg represents a realization of the constitutive, continuously forming and mutable relationships between peoples of differing identities. In all of these case studies, I investigate how this culture has been shaped by social and political actions through transnational connections over the 20th century. The first two case studies are underpinned by the theories of cultural capital and gender. The first focuses on the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1900-1920s), an elite group of Brito-Canadian women who shaped the reception of high art singing among their peers primarily through their American connections. The second investigates the Men’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1920s-1950s), a dynamic group of businessmen and musicians who sought to reinforce Brito-Canadian cultural supremacy by developing a choral culture and establishing a music competition festival based on British models and enforced by British musical associations. The third and fourth case studies are examined through the lens of diaspora and identity, underpinned by social capital.

We needed to make it a year to remember. I’m delighted to say we rose to the challenge. In a year marked with natural disasters, economic uncertainty and adverse conditions affecting the chemical sciences in ways never seen before, we still led the UK in being perhaps the most active country in the world throughout IYC. Our members did us proud, arranging hundreds of IYC events across the globe. Perhaps most visible was the Global Water Experiment, an international effort to map global water quality using data collected by school pupils. A national media campaign, including an outing on BBC TV’s One Show, led to widespread awareness of the experiment. Dedicated and enthusiastic UK teachers then inspired a sensational number of their pupils to take part, and as a country we contributed more data to the experiment than any other.

  • Keswick's Diamond Jubilee Programme
    NEWS RELEASE Keswick’s Diamond Jubilee Programme Preparations are well under way for Keswick’s celebrations for the special 4-day bank holiday which commemorates The Queen’s 60 years reign. The Queen will also ‘preside’ over our celebrations – or at least her portrait will. A mosaic portrait made up of 2,000 photos of Keswick will make its debut appearance in the Market Square on the walls of the Keswick Information Centre in The Moot Hall. The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant - Sunday 3rd June Keswick is planning a day where all can watch The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant whilst enjoying a Big Jubilee Lunch and being entertained by live music! Watch the pageant live on large screen in Keswick’s Market Square as it takes place on the River Thames between 2-6pm. The pageant will consist of up to 1,000 boats assembled from across the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world. The Queen will lead the flotilla by travelling in the Royal Barge. This event is being organised by the Thames Diamond Jubilee Foundation to celebrate Her Majesty’s sixty-year reign, and will be one of the largest flotillas ever assembled on the river. Wander down to Derwentwater and take a trip on Keswick’s own flotilla – our launches will be decorated for the occasion and will cruise you around our lake in style. Song & Dance – Sunday 3 rd June Live Music will be provided throughout the day – full details of the line-up will be announced soon! A chance to have a royal romp whilst listening to local bands.

Historically, the department has had several overlapping missions and goals- service teaching for science and engineering majors, professional training of chemistry majors and graduate students and ambitions for a nationally-recognized research program. CCB teaches ~3% of the student credit hours taught on main campus, and at one point had over 20 tenured and tenure track faculty and ~80 graduate students.

    The Presidents of the Chemical Society & Royal Society of Chemistry (1841–2024) Contents Introduction 04 Chemical Society Presidents (1841–1980) 07 Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents (1980–2024) 34 Researching Past Presidents 45 Presidents by Date 47 Cover images (left to right): Professor Thomas Graham; Sir Ewart Ray Herbert Jones; Professor Lesley Yellowlees; The President’s Badge of Office Introduction On Tuesday 23 February 1841, a meeting was convened by Robert Warington that resolved to form a society of members interested in the advancement of chemistry. On 30 March, the 77 men who’d already leant their support met at what would be the Chemical Society’s first official meeting; at that meeting, Thomas Graham was unanimously elected to be the Society’s first president. The other main decision made at the 30 March meeting was on the system by which the Chemical Society would be organised: “That the ordinary members shall elect out of their own body, by ballot, a President, four Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, two Secretaries, and a Council of twelve, four of Introduction whom may be non-resident, by whom the business of the Society shall be conducted.” At the first Annual General Meeting the following year, in March 1842, the Bye Laws were formally enshrined, and the ‘Duty of the President’ was stated: “To preside at all Meetings of the Society and Council. To take the Chair at all ordinary Meetings of the Society, at eight o’clock precisely, and to regulate the order of the proceedings. A Member shall not be eligible as President of the Society for more than two years in succession, but shall be re-eligible after the lapse of one year.” Little has changed in the way presidents are elected; they still have to be a member of the Society and are elected by other members.
