  • The Scientific Background of Army Medicine in The
    CHAPTER V THE SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND OF ARMY MEDICINE IN THE WAR THEscientific history of Army medicine in the War of 1914-18 IS concerned with two spheres of experience, and two phases of time. The first sphere of experience is internal, The the Army Medical Service being a self-con- milieux of 1914-18 tained system with a scientific outlook and organisation-a nzilieu intkrzeur-of its own. But it has intimate relation to a much wider sphere-the milieu exotique-of its scientific environment ; the great world of knowledge and research lying outside its structure, uninterested in its activities, and to a great extent alien to its ideals and objectives. And the history of each of these spheres of experi- ence is concerned with two periods-(a) the situation prior to and at the outbreak of the war, and (b) developments, especially internal, occurring in the course of that war and, in certain directions, after it. “That blessed word” Science, and its even more sacrosanct derivative “scientific”, have reached-as the present generation has come to discern-a phase of deification at Science and medicine which it is desirable to examine closely the form that they clothe. Is (men are asking) the unprepossessing body of Science (as applied, let us say, to war) the true form and substance of Science? Or is this garment but a verbal figment, a fetish, distorting not revealing the true form, of scientific “wisdom”? That as applied in war, “science”- speaking generally-is almost wholly destructive is not open to dispute. In the Great War medicine, almost alone among war’s exploitations of peace, was able to “save its soul alive” and, after some initial frustration, began to pick up the threads of peace-time scientific progress.

  • An Australian Woman's Impression and Its Influences
    NOTE: Green underlined artist names indicate that a detail biography is provided in Dictionary of Australian Artists. Page 1 Copyright © 2019 David James Angeloro “ An Australian Woman’s Impression and Its Influences ” David James Angeloro “( A More Complete Picture )” by David James Angeloro was born and raised in Syracuse, New York and graduated from Columbia University ( New York City ) and (Excerpt of Draft January 2019) Hobart University ( Geneva ). In 1971, he immigrated to Australia where he has worked as a management- technology consultant for commonwealth-state-local government organisations and large corporations throughout Australasia. David’s interest (obsession) with fine arts started while attending university in New York City. In Australia, he earned a Masters of Art from Sydney University for his thesis Sydney’s Women Sculptors: Women’s Work in Three Dimensions [ 1788-1940 ]. His passion for art extends to art history with particular interests in women artists (his two daughters are well-known artists of mashed-up video works), sculptors and painter-etchers. The Angeloro family collections have been nearly fifty years in the making. David’s collecting philosophy focused on affordable second tier artists, who were generally well- known in their day, but have been ‘forgotten’ by art historians and curators. David has followed the world-wide trend of reassessing the position and value of pre-1940 painters, illustrators, printmakers and sculptors, especially marginalized women artists. Why I’m Selling The Collection ? I’m selling my collection because after nearly fifty years, I’m returning to New York and I don’t want these Australian treasures to be lost and unappreciated.

  • To View a Century Downtown: Sydney University Law School's First
    CENTURY DOWN TOWN Sydney University Law School’s First Hundred Years Edited by John and Judy Mackinolty Sydney University Law School ® 1991 by the Sydney University Law School This book is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.

  • Education: Beyond the Medical Program Ann Jervie Sefton
    Chapter 3 Education: beyond the medical program Ann Jervie Sefton Introduction A diversity of additional educational activities that support ongoing learning for medical students and graduates are described in this chapter. The educational activities of staff are supported by the Office for Teaching and Learning in Medicine and the Centre for Innovation in Professional Health Education, both described in Chapter 2. The highly regarded Bachelor of Medical Science [BSc(Med)] degree formerly provided an opportunity for medical students to pursue a research interest during the course; with the adoption of the graduate-entry program it is now discontinued. A short account is provided here, recording its history and acknowledging its importance. For many years, members of Faculty have taught a number of well-received traditional coursework master’s degrees in specialist areas. That range of professional postgraduate coursework degrees will be expanded by developing a flexible suite of master’s programs online, for those seeking specific professional knowledge and skills. The students’ learning is supported by a range of other professional resources, including the libraries which have changed their functions dramatically with the increasing sophistication of information technology. The libraries continue to be at the forefront of new developments. Museums (Anatomy and Pathology) contribute to the students’ learning, both from three- dimensional museum specimens and increasingly from electronic images. The changes to the medical program have highlighted the need to link aspects of science to the humanities. Some aspects are discussed in the context of the Personal and Professional Development Theme in Chapter 2. Specifically, the Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine and the Pam McLean Cancer Communications Centre provide support for those essential dimensions of students’ learning.
