I have ventured to add a few things,—interludes, you may call them, which may be taken as talks by the camp-fire.

Let me confess at the outset that by camp-fires and guide-posts I intend more than the literal mean- ing of the words. I use them for their significance. The camp-fire is the conservative symbol. It invites to rest and fellowship and friendly council, not unmixed with that good cheer which is suggested when we call a conference of wits a "symposium." There is no denying the fact that man's best dis- course has always been at a common meal, whether spread on the green grass or on a mahogany table. Of the elders of Israel in the Exodus, it is recorded that "they saw God and did eat and drink." This is a gentle hint that however soulful a man's soul may be, in his present mixed estate the body had its claims, which it is both lawful and necessary to satisfy, in order that the spiritual part may not be hampered and disordered. Hunger, thirst, and 3 — CAMP-FIRES 1 indigestion are unfavorable alike to clear thought and calm devotion. The guide-post is the progressive sign. It calls us to continue our journey, and gives information in regard to direction and distance, which (if cor- rect) has considerable value to the traveller. Every social theory, every moral maxim, every appeal of preacher or pohtical orator, every bit of propaganda printed or spoken, yes, even every advertisement in the newspapers or on the bill- boards, whether false or true, is of the nature of a guide-post. Every place where men rest and repose with warmth to cheer them—^the hollow in the woods where pilgrims or tramps gather about the blazing sticks, the snug cottage where the kettle simmers on the hearth, the royal castle where an ancient coat-of-arms is carved on the mantelpiece, the vast palatial hotel where sovereign democracy flaunts its new-found wealth and commercial travellers bask in the heat of concealed steam-radiators every one of these is nothing more nor less than a camp-fire. No human progress is unbroken and continuous. No human resting-place is permanent. Where are 4 AND GUIDE-POSTS Pharaoh's Palace, and Solomon's Temple, and the House of Caesar, and Cicero's Tusculum, and Horace's Sabine farm? I remember what General WilUam Tecumseh Sherman—fine old campaigner—said to me when he first came to New York to live in his own house. "I've made a new camp. Plenty of wood and water. Come over." We might get more comfort out of this sane and wholesome philosophy of life, if it were not for the violent extremists of the Right and the Left, who revile and buffet us alternately when we try to push ahead and when we stop to think. I have good friends on both sides, but at times they treat me vilely as an enemy. The trouble with the Radicals is that they are always urging us to travel somewhither, anywhither, ignoring the past, condemning the present, and hurling ourselves blindfold into the future. The trouble with the Conservatives is that they are always lulhng us to stay where we are, to be content with our present comforts, and to look with optimistic eyes on the bright side of our neigh- bors' discomforts. Neither pessimism nor optimism pleases me. I 5 CAMP-FIRES am a meliorist,—to use the word which Doctor John Brown of Eidinburgh coined in 1858. Therefore I refuse to engage in the metaphysical triangular conflict between the past, the present, and the future. It means nothing to me. Yester- day is a memory. To-morrow is a hope. To-day is the fact. But tell me, would the fact be what it is without the memory and the hope? Are not all three equally real.'* I grant you there is a distincticm between the actual and the imaginary. But it is not a difference in essence. It is only a difference in origin and form. What we call the actual has its origin in a fact outside of us. What we call the imaginary has its origin in a fact within us. A burned finger and a burning indignation are equally real. Memory is simply imagination looking back: hope, looking forward. The imaginary is not non-existent. It exists in the mind—the very same place where every per- ception through the senses has its present and only being. When I was a boy I cut my hand with my first pocket-knife. But the physical scar of that actual AND GUIDE-POSTS accident, now almost invisible, is less vivid than the memory of the failure of my ambition to be- come a great orator. In that collegiate contest, fifty years ago, the well-prepared phrase fled from my paralyzed brain, " vox faiicibus kaeait," and I sat down feeling that life was ended. But it was not. You remember, as of yesterday, those pleasant afternoon walks on Fifth Avenue from Madison Square to Central Park, in the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century, when the air was clean and bright, the sky-line low, and on every block you had greetings from good friends. To-day, if duty compels, you plunge through that same mile-and- a-half , shut in by man-made cliffs of varying degrees of ugliness, stifled by fumes of gasolene from the conglomerate motor-cars, and worming your way through malodorous or highly perfumed throngs of "Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, dwellers in Meso- potamia and Judaea, Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Ara- bians." Few indeed are the native Americans you 7 — CAMP-FIRES meet, struggling like yourself among the conflicting tides, "ran nantes in gurgiie vasto" Yet, even on such a walk, if you think serenely, you have a hope of something better in the long to-morrow: a modern city in which the curse of crowding shall be mitigated by wiser dispositions of traflSc, transportation, and housing: a city in which there shall be room for homes and play- grounds, as well as for temples and court-houses: a city in which the rights of property shall be safe- guarded chiefly as essential to the supreme right of life. The memory, the fact, the hope, are equally real. But tell me, brother, can we really make sure of our guide-posts unless we take counsel together beside our camp-fires? The secret of perpetual motion has not yet been discovered. Human nature demands intervals of rest and relaxation as the unexempt condition of our mortal frailty. Here is where I find my stance for a drive. Go forward we must, unless we are willing to slip back- ward. But we cannot know that we are going for- 8 AND GUIDE-POSTS ward, without stopping to talk over our common concerns beside the camp-fire. Good humor is one of the prerequisites of sound judgment. I have seen needful work done by men in excite- ment and an ill temper, but never truth discovered nor creative things accomplished. My old gar- dener used to swear horribly when he was rooting out poison-ivy.

Signed __________________________________ Date ____________________________________ 2 ABSTRACT This thesis reassesses the years 1945-1955 as a hingepoint in British culture, a moment when literature, film and art responded to the wartime hiatus of consumer capitalism by resisting the turn towards conspicuous consumption and self- commodification. This resistance can be discerned in a gothic impulse in post-war culture, in which uncanny encounters with haunted, recalcitrant or overassertive objects proliferated, and provided a critique of the subject/object relationship on which consumerism was predicated. In the opening chapter, the ubiquity of bombsite rubble is brought into dialogue with mid-century mural painting both in literature and at the Festival of Britain.

  • Changes in the Sensory Characteristics of Mango Cultivars During the Production of Mango Purée and Sorbet
    DIFFERENCES IN SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AMONG VARIOUS MANGO CULTIVARS IN THE FORM OF FRESH SLICED MANGO, MANGO PURÉE, AND MANGO SORBET by CHRISTIE N. LEDEKER B.S., University of Delaware, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Interdisciplinary Food Science Graduate Program Department of Human Nutrition KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores H. Chambers Abstract Fresh mangoes are highly perishable, and therefore, they are often processed to extend shelf-life and facilitate exportation. Studying the transformation that mango cultivars undergo throughout processing can aid in selecting appropriate varieties for products. In the 1st part of this study, the flavor and texture properties of 4 mango cultivars available in the United States (U.S.) were analyzed. Highly trained descriptive panelists in the U.S. evaluated fresh, purée, and sorbet samples prepared from each cultivar. Purées were made by pulverizing mango flesh, passing it through a china cap, and heating it to 85 °C for 15 s. For the sorbets, purées were diluted with water (1:1), sucrose was added, and the bases were frozen in a batch ice cream freezer. Much of the texture variation among cultivars was lost after fresh samples were transformed into purées, whereas much of the flavor and texture variation among cultivars was lost once fresh mangoes and mango purées were transformed into sorbets. Compared to the other cultivars, Haden and Tommy Atkins underwent greater transformations in flavor throughout sorbet preparation, and processing reduced the intensities of some unpleasant flavors in these cultivars.

Shirley’s Sternwheeler Cruise Click on individual pictures to view larger “I feel I am still living the wish”, exclaimed teary eyed Shirley a week after her big day. Despite having various chronic health issues, this beautiful (inside and out), aging soul always puts the needs/wants of doing for others on the top of her daily to do list. She may be making sure her peers at the social center are getting their needs met (and will do what she can to assist them), she may be making wonderful scarves to be gifted as “just because” gifts, or she may be going around table to table greeting each individual with a huge smile and warm greeting…what a true lady Shirley is. When asked, “why the Sternwheeler?” Shirley responded there were two reasons. First, this was something that she and her daughter, Carol had always wanted to do so why not take this amazing opportunity to go? And secondly, Shirley told a brief story of a woman she once knew who had lived in France not far from the Eiffle Tower. The woman never took the opportunity to see this glorious landmark even though it was so closer to her. Shirley then stated, “The Columbia River is one of the most beautiful and historic rivers…this was my Eiffle Tower!” Shirley then gave some words of wisdom expressing that we should all enjoy the beauty that is all around us and stated if tourists come to visit these places in our backyard, we should certainly go and enjoy them as well.
