Missouri. 1 The Executive Council of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity August 10, 1969 A Message from the Executive Council President Dear Brothers : We believe that the selection of friends and the management of affairs are esential elements to an adequate education. Those who dispute the rele vance of fraternities must in some way be demeaning the right of individuals to associate freely and to exercise management perogatives over their affairs, for that is the stuff of -- which our association is made Psi Upsilon is a group of men banded together in the pursuit of excellence for the mutual bene fit of the members, the association and the entire society. Our fraternity's end product is the educated man, and this is our raison d'etre. We are faced with a highly complex and sometimes hostile environment. The chaotic college campus presents unprecedented difficulties to the operation of our chapters. We have problems, to be sure, but our situation is no different from that with which every educational-social institution is faced. With even the most cursory examination of our circumstances it is easy to see the difficulties with which we are faced. It is just as easy to overlook the enormous progress that we have made. We are conducting the. operation of Psi Upsilon with unprecedented efficiency. We are doing this" with approximately the same income that we had available to us in 1964. The nature of our staff operation is such that credit goes to the volunteers when a project is success fully completed. The work of our staff is essential and constitutes a very material contribution to the overall success of our efforts. An examination of the report on the activities of the Central Office will give you a brief idea of the scope and frequency of their chapter-related operations. Psi Upsilon is doing a fine job for its members. Much progress has been made. Much more remains to be done. You can help to formulate the legislative program that will dictate our operational policies for the coming year by at tending and participating in the Annual Convention that will be held in Evanston, Illinois, from September 2nd through the 5th. Full particulars concerning the Convention arrangements are included as part of this special edition of The Diamond. We are looking forward to a pleasant and productive session. Please try to join us. Yours in the bonds. yii<-*^<u. Jerome W.

  • The Year of Magical Thinking
    Contents Title Page Dedication Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Permissions Acknowledgments Joan Didion the Year of Magical Thinking Also by Joan Didion Acclaim for Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking Copyright This book is for John and for Quintana 1. Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends. The question of self-pity. Those were the first words I wrote after it happened. The computer dating on the Microsoft Word file (“Notes on change.doc”) reads “May 20, 2004, 11:11 p.m.,” but that would have been a case of my opening the file and reflexively pressing save when I closed it. I had made no changes to that file in May. I had made no changes to that file since I wrote the words, in January 2004, a day or two or three after the fact. For a long time I wrote nothing else. Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant. At some point, in the interest of remembering what seemed most striking about what had happened, I considered adding those words, “the ordinary instant.” I saw immediately that there would be no need to add the word “ordinary,” because there would be no forgetting it: the word never left my mind. It was in fact the ordinary nature of everything preceding the event that prevented me from truly believing it had happened, absorbing it, incorporating it, getting past it.

  • Repositioning Roald Dahl: Morality and Fantasy in Dahl’S Life and Writing for Children
    Repositioning Roald Dahl: Morality and Fantasy in Dahl’s Life and Writing for Children being a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Click or tap here to enter text. in the University of Hull by Pojana Maneeyingsakul, BA, MLitt January 2021 Acknowledgements This thesis has taken over five years in the making and it was conceived in mid 2014 when my son was five years old and we were growing together as this thesis progressed. First of all I would like to acknowledge the love of my heart, my son, Natthan Maneeyingsakul, who inspired me to research the values of Dahl’s children’s books for my own child and to reappraise the renowned author and his morality. I am hugely grateful to my beloved parents, Mana Maneeyingsakul and Banphen Sutthiprapha, who instilled in me the value of education and steered me toward this academic perseverance. My deepest affections go to my mother for her unconditional love, kindness, and moral support, and my sisters for their encouragement. Their guidance taught me to be tough and resilient, especially during the most difficult and vulnerable time of my PhD journey. But above all, this thesis has benefited from careful scrutiny by my dedicated supervisor, Professor Valerie Sanders, to whom I owe so much gratitude. She has inspired and guided me both academically and personally, her invaluable supervision, corrections and suggestions for revision have made this work as a whole stronger. I would like to thank also my co-supervisor, Dr Bethan Jones, and Professor Veronica O’Mara, for their sage advice and beneficial comments during my annual progress review meetings every year.
