Commencement Program 2011, University of Pennsylvania Commencement Monday, May 16, 2011 May Monday, th 255 255th Commencement Monday, May 16, 2011 The University of Pennsylvania KEEPING FRANKLIN’S PROMISE In the words of one elegiac tribute, “Great men have two lives: one which occurs while they work on this earth; a second which begins at the day of their death and continues as long as their ideas and conceptions remain powerful.” These words befit the great Benjamin Franklin, whose inventions, innovations, ideas, writings, and public works continue to shape our thinking and renew the Republic he helped to create and the institutions he founded, including the University of Pennsylvania. Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 271 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages. The first medical and business schools in the United States were launched here. And the first general-purpose electronic, digital computer – ENIAC – was invented right here at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, the never-ending quest for innovation and academic distinction has found perfect Franklinian expression in “The Penn Compact,” President Amy Gutmann’s bold vision for propelling our University from excellence to eminence in all our core endeavors. Fulfilling the goals of the Compact – increasing access for talented students of all backgrounds, integrating knowledge across multiple disciplines, and engaging our knowledge with communities locally and globally – is the focus of Penn’s current $3.5 billion Making History campaign, and will position the University to make the greatest possible contribution to our society and our world. Today, Penn proudly graduates a class of men and women who have shown the intelligence, drive, integrity, and character to become engaged citizens who will serve humanity with distinction. Our Penn graduates are poised to take their place as productive democratic citizens and as just and humane stewards of our world. In these challenging and perilous times, a world in need of young men and women who are willing to shoulder the moral responsibilities of leadership can look to Penn. Franklin wrote: “We may make these times better if we bestir ourselves. The noblest question in the world is ‘What good may I do in it?’” The answer to this question will be furnished by Franklin’s newest heirs, the graduates of 2011. 1 Franklin Field COMMENCEMENT SEATING Guests will find this diagram helpful in locating the approximate seating of the degree candidates.

Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique and “the mother of the modern womenʼs movement,” argues that a constitutional amendment guaranteeing men and women equal treatment under the law would put a stop to discriminatory legislation that left divorced women without alimony or child support. On the other side, Schlafly, an Illinois mother of six who has marshalled an army of conservative housewives into an unlikely political force to fight the ERA, declares American women “the luckiest class of people on earth.” Then Schlafly goes for the jugular. “You simply cannot legislate universal sympathy for the middle-aged woman,” she purrs, knowing that Friedan had been through a bitter divorce. “You, Mrs. Friedan, are the unhappiest women I have ever met.” “You are a traitor to your sex, an Aunt Tom,” fumes Friedan, taking the bait. “And you are a witch. God, Iʼd like to burn you at the stake!” Friedanʼs now-infamous rejoinder is resurrected in this fiery exchange in “Mrs.

    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • What to Make of Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito?
    What to make of Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito? The Friday before last, Team Mayweather handed Bob Arum and Top Rank a bunch of lemons. Instead of trying to make lemonade, Arum passed the lemons off to boxing fans in the form of Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito. Now it’s up to the boxing community to determine what to do with them. During his now-infamous conference call, Arum made it clear that his intentions were to pursue fights with possible opponents other than Mayweather, specifically Miguel Cotto or Margarito. Less than two weeks later the “Tijuana Tornado” emerged as the next opponent for the Filipino Congressman. In fighting Pacquiao (51-3, 38 KO) on November 13, Margarito (38-6, 27 KO) is receiving a “hand-wrapped” gift from Arum and Top Rank. In taking care of his own, Arum is granting Margarito what will most likely amount to the biggest pay day of his career. He is awarding “Tony” the chance of a lifetime simply for fighting under the Top Rank banner. During his conference call, responding to an inquiry about a potential Pacquiao-Tim Bradley fight, Arum immediately dismissed the possibility. “Tim Bradley is a tremendous fighter and he’s a great young man,” Arum said. “But the problem with a guy like Tim Bradley is that even though you and I know what a superb fighter he is, the public really doesn’t know.” He continued, “The other promoters don’t really promote their fighters. They take money from HBO or Showtime or a little Indian casino and they think they’re doing the kid a big service.

  • Why We Choose to Be Stupid
    Why we choose to be stupid : the responsibility of andragogy and a search for answers in paradox, Canon, multiculturalism and the philosophy of postmodern critical education theory by Gregory Norton Garcia A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Adult, Community, and Higher Education Montana State University © Copyright by Gregory Norton Garcia (1997) Abstract: In this study ideas and concepts that can be used to describe the phenomenon of stupidity and explore the possibility that we choose to be stupid, were developed from the social and political philosophy of Western Civilization. The research methods applied were based on the phenomenological school of qualitative inquiry using a narrative style. Findings suggest we choose to be stupid and stupidity can be generally described in the following ways: Conceptually, it is a paradox or antilogy that can be behaviorally chronicled in a number of ways. Culturally, stupidity is a philosophically implied concept that has consistently been instrumental in shaping our ideas of intelligence. Andragogically, stupidity is voluntary behavior that may be conscious and/or unconscious, but is manifestly anti-moral if not immoral and so it is counterproductive. Individually and personally, stupidity is a seemingly anatomic behavioral response to serendipitous personal and cultural predicaments. Stupidity can result from confused thinking. It can result from a misinterpretation of reality and it can also be generated by the human incapacity to live a moral existence. While stupidity may not be curable, by developing more precise awareness, we can compensate for stupidity by more fully realizing consequences.

  • Unreported Cases
    2001] UNREPORTED CASES defended in bad faith, such that the fees paid by Statek to finance the defense should never have been expended in the first place. This Court has already held, and the Delaware Supreme Court has affirmed, that Johnston and Spillane defended the §225 action in bad faith and were personally liable to pay Vendel's attorneys' fees and expenses.2 This Court found (in the words of the Supreme Court) that "the conduct of the Defendants rose to the level of bad faith because they had no valid defense and knew it."2" This Court also found that " that conduct also to supports the conclusion that the defendants in2°9 bad faith forced Vendel commence and prosecute [the §225] action." From these findings it follows (in my opinion, inescapably) that the defendants also acted in bad faith by causing Statek to finance their defense, which was found to be a "sham" and "intended to delay the inevitable day of reckoning, and to enable the defendants to continue mulcting the corporation without detection. 2' 1 To say it differently, had defendants not acted in bad faith, the §225 action would never have been prosecuted and there would have been no defense costs for Statek to bear. The same fiduciary duty considerations that justified shifting to the defendants the liability to pay Vendel's fees, also warrant shifting to those defendants the fees and other defense costs they improperly caused Statek to incur. Because there was no "good faith" dispute about the merits of the claim in the §225 action, the defendants are liable to Statek for the fees and expenses it paid to defend that action.
