Soon after the beginning of the academic year, a message from Paul Hartle informed the College that the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas would have reached his hundredth birthday on #* October #!"&. The anniversary was suitably marked. The College’s Welsh Senior Tutor was joined by the College’s Welsh Master in Chapel to read a handful of poems and a short prose piece about Christmas by Thomas (Dylan, not Jean). The following week the Librarians exhibited a selection of books from the library of John Addenbrooke who gave the College "%& volumes in "*"%; somewhat surprisingly, we still have every one. Naturally, the medical sciences dominate, but the collection also shows our famous alumnus (he was also a Fellow and, brie-y, Bursar) as a man of wide interests. The ten or so items on display included a ,rst edition of Newton’s Opticks, one of the earliest printed editions of the plays of Sophocles, and a selection of illustrated works which show the emergence of medicine as a modern discipline. The Addenbrooke books are now in a purpose-made bookcase in the refurbished Ramsden Room. Alas, the ,nal tasks associated with publication of the #!"& Magazine taking place in parallel with the above events did not go as smoothly. I apologise for the late arrival of the #!"& edition to some alumni and for an unusual number of errors, both typographical and of omission. An Errata section appears below and inadvertently omitted material is included in this edition, though that is but small comfort to those whose awards were missed in the appropriate College Report. It is, of course, not a valid excuse, but my reliable and punctilious proof reader John Shakeshaft was already becoming unwell and sadly died some months later (see obituary in this Magazine). Furthermore, a couple of promised articles failed to materialise. I hope very much that this edition is better. A few matters of College interest were drawn to my attention during the year. Following the death of former Head of Biochemistry Professor Richard Perham in March #!"', a PhD student from the ")*!s (not a Catsman) reminisced about the Biochemistry Department Christmas Revues and Pantomimes – apparently all were performed to the able accompaniment of Jean Thomas at the piano. In May the country went to the polls. In an article about the student vote in the run-up to the election, the Times reported that the Cambridge City Conservative candidate was approached by a porter outside St Catharine’s College who loudly castigated her for undermining the political impartiality of the College. The Times political editor cited this as an example of the di.culty of canvassing students. However, I noted that the report was in the " April edition. Within these pages you will ,nd reports of how the College fared in the academic year #!"&–"' (once again I am indebted to Chris Thorne for all the student reports) and in Society News you will ,nd a report of the Society’s Annual Dinner during which many diners surreptitiously watched the England v Wales rugby match on various electronic devices. Also in that section, thanks are due to Librarian Colin Higgins for taking on the Book Reviews following the death of John Shakeshaft and also to all those Society members who sent interesting news snippets. We have a particularly eclectic set of articles this year. You may read about some irregular Mastership appointments, Tunku Abdul Rahman’s time at Catz written by his nephew Tunku Farik, College during the Great War, the College WWII poets, an %!-year-old graduand, Cheerleading and, if you want something more academic,

  • 1509 Catalyst A5.Indd
    Post Primary Education CATALYST PAMPHLET THIRTEEN Foreward Catalyst’s self-appointed task for more than a decade now has been to encourage the Church to be the Church, to examine ourselves to see how our Christian witness measures up to the gospel parameters. We feel that there are areas of life where the great biblical themes of justice and fairplay should be reiterated and realized; justice and fairplay especially for those who do not themselves have a strong voice, for those on the margins or at the bottom of society. One such arena is that of public education. Both in NI and throughout the UK there is much debate about the benefi ts and failures of the present situation and of the reforms which have been implemented over the past half century. There are many criticisms of the outcome of present-day education policy and a good deal of uncertainty about how we can improve it, including a fear that the latter state might be worse than the former. Pressure groups and special-interest groups abound, and often more heat than light is generated. It is our plea that there should be an honest and open examination of the issues, and who is better placed to contribute to this than the Christian churches? They pioneered education, motivated by the wonderful idea that all are children of God the Father who has endowed everyone, but everyone, with skills, talents, intellectual and other abilities. Respectfully we offer the following as points worthy of consideration especially by religiously motivated people: 1 The status quo post the 1944/48 Education Acts meant in NI students emerging from Grammar Schools with very good Senior Certifi cate (GCE) grades and A levels, (better than in GB).

The evaluation included Learning Northern Ireland (LNI), which is the regional virtual online learning environment of the C2k managed service solution. While the evaluation report1 acknowledged the successful creation, uptake and use of the C2k managed service as a whole, and the outstanding, innovative work ongoing in some schools, it also highlighted some important shortcomings concerning the impact of learning environments in schools and the wider education service. 1.2 As part of the original evaluation, the

  • MAC1 Abstracts – Oral Presentations
    Oral Presentation Abstracts OP001 Rights, Interests and Moral Standing: a critical examination of dialogue between Regan and Frey. Rebekah Humphreys Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom This paper aims to assess R. G. Frey’s analysis of Leonard Nelson’s argument (that links interests to rights). Frey argues that claims that animals have rights or interests have not been established. Frey’s contentions that animals have not been shown to have rights nor interests will be discussed in turn, but the main focus will be on Frey’s claim that animals have not been shown to have interests. One way Frey analyses this latter claim is by considering H. J. McCloskey’s denial of the claim and Tom Regan’s criticism of this denial. While Frey’s position on animal interests does not depend on McCloskey’s views, he believes that a consideration of McCloskey’s views will reveal that Nelson’s argument (linking interests to rights) has not been established as sound. My discussion (of Frey’s scrutiny of Nelson’s argument) will centre only on the dialogue between Regan and Frey in respect of McCloskey’s argument. OP002 Can Special Relations Ground the Privileged Moral Status of Humans Over Animals? Robert Jones California State University, Chico, United States Much contemporary philosophical work regarding the moral considerability of nonhuman animals involves the search for some set of characteristics or properties that nonhuman animals possess sufficient for their robust membership in the sphere of things morally considerable. The most common strategy has been to identify some set of properties intrinsic to the animals themselves.

  • Maximizing Attendance at World Arena
    MAXIMIZING ATTENDANCE AT WORLD ARENA A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Alexander Krushelnyski May 2013 MAXIMIZING ATTENDANCE AT WORLD ARENA Alexander Krushelnyski May 2013 Economics Abstract The Division 1 Men’s Ice Hockey Team for Colorado College sells out at their home arena, The World Arena, at 7,343. As one of two division 1 sports at Colorado College, this venue provides great entertainment for fans of the Colorado College Tigers. There have not been any studies to examine why and how the World Arena maintains such a successful rate of attendance. An Ordinary Least Squares Regression is used to determine which factors are significant in affecting attendance at Tiger Hockey Games. Ticket sales are used as a proxy for measuring attendance. Using two different models, results show that playing The Air Force Academy, being regular season champions, making it to the NCAA tournament and making it to the Frozen Four tournament are most significant in increasing attendance. Other variables that were also significant are penalty minutes.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
