Sir William Harcourt in the House of Commons, April l8th, 1898. rarest order, . Strong's critical powers were of the highest and whether exercised in the domain of philology, literature or art. On every subject handled by him he threw a flood of light. Perhaps the most striking feature of his character was its sturdy independence. His individuality was so marked that he was uninfluenced by environ- ment and without any kind of self-assertion or evidence of his native scorn for Philistinism, his personality could not fail to receive its due recognition. He was perfectly simple and without affectation, his only object in life being the vindication of truth Leighton and Acton we have lost, and now the premature death of Strong inflicts an irrepar- able loss on English culture. Lord Reay before the Royal Asiatic Society, February 9th, 1904. The House has to deplore the death of Mr. S. Arthur Strong, its dis- tinguished Librarian. The greatness and variety of his intellectual gifts and accomplish- ments, as evidenced by his works and universally recognized, render his premature death a severe loss to literature and art. In the Library, where he placed his vast stores of knowledge at the disposal of the Peers, his work included the compilation of two Cata- logues, one of the General Library and one of the Law Books, to the latter of \s hich, under the direction of the Lord Chancellor, he made many important additions. Report from the Select Committee on the HOUSE OF Lords Offices, August, 1904. MEMOIR JT is fitting that this volume of essays should be preceded by a general sketch of Arthur Strong's personality—a sketch indicative of the lines upon which a remarkable bio- graphy may one day be written. The task is exceptionally difficult. One frequently has to record the uneven struggle between powerful intellect and delicate physique, or how ambition gains the mastery over environ- ment. In this case one must also account for the paradox of concurrent fame and obscurity. Strong was a man of many friends but of few intimates, though only those who knew him intimately knew also how influential he had been in the world of learning, and was fast becoming in that of politics. Yet even where he led, he remained to a great extent anonymous, from necessity at first and afterwards from choice. He liked inspiring books, composing political speeches, coining epigrams, directing the trend of criticism, and not unfrequently deciding the turn of affairs, while re- maining himself in the background. As yet nothing of this can be told in detail, though the material is not wanting. Letters, which as a rule form the biographer's main resource, can only be drawn on here to a very limited extent, for in the matter of correspondence, as in so much else. Strong knew no middle way, the brevity of his letters being pro- verbial among his friends. In the one case— it was perhaps B 2 Memoir isolated^—in which he chose to unbend towards his corre- spondent, he wrote on every conceivable topic, with a mingled vigour and freedom which confer on these letters an unsurpassed charm and interest, but which make their publication impossible for many years to come. There were, however, outstanding features in Strong's short but crowded life—how short it was many of his friends scarcely realized, for his profound learning and mature judgment were apt to conceal his youth: in fact, he was only forty years old when he died. His first years of boyhood were spent at St. Paul's School, where he was unhappy; then at the age of fifteen he went into Lloyd's, where he unconsciously laid the foundations of a rare commercial perspicacity and know- ledge of " business " conditions, which latterly bore unex- pected fruit when fiscal and industrial problems came to the forefront of British politics. Though not disliking his City life, he was haunted by dreams of an University career, and found time, though at the cost of already failing health, to keep up his studies and to attend classes at King's College. He left Lloyd's in 1880, after a period of mental high pressure, and in October, 1881, matriculated at St. John's College, Cambridge. A bad start led to an in- different degree. After taking the second part of the Tripos in June, 1885, he moved to Oxford in November of the same year, on being selected for a post in the Indian Institute, where he remained three years working under Sir Monier Williams, Max Miiller, and Professor Sayce. After a sojourn abroad, mainly in Berlin, where he con- tinued his Oriental studies under Schrader, and in Paris, where he enjoyed the uncommon privilege of Renan's friendship and hospitality, he returned to England. Ade- Memoir > quate academic recognition was still denied him.

With half-term about to commence, Achieving for Children will run a food voucher scheme to address the pressing issue of local hard-pressed and vulnerable families in the borough not being able to cover the cost of meals during the school holiday. Guidance will be launched early next week to let eligible families know how they can collect their voucher. Fourteen school streets now live in Richmond Earlier this year, Richmond Council used emergency powers to ensure that three local primary schools were the first in the borough to receive ‘School Street’ status prior to the summer holidays.

  • Corporate Reputation and Competitiveness
    Corporate Reputation and Competitiveness Reputation is at the heart of a company’s success. This unique book, from four of the world leaders in reputation research, reveals the very latest thinking about how organ- izations can improve, whether they are in the public, commercial or not-for-profit sector. The philosophy is to match the external (customer) perception of the organization and what they value, to the internal (customer-facing employee) perception and their organ- izational values. Only when these are ‘harmonized’ can the firm be truly competitive. Corporate Reputation and Competitiveness takes the subject of Reputation Management further than any previous text. It covers some familiar ground: dealing with the media, crisis management, the use of logos and other aspects of corporate identity. But it also argues for Reputation Management to be seen as a way of managing the long-term strat- egy of an organization. It presents a new approach to measuring reputation, one that relies on surveying customers and employees on their view of the corporate character. It carries detailed results of studies showing the interaction of customer–employee per- spectives and how and why customer views influence commercial performance. The book introduces the Corporate Reputation Chain – the potential to link staff and customer satisfaction via the organization’s reputation, and to the Corporate Personality Scale – a way of measuring what customers and staff feel about the organization itself. Detailed case studies from a variety of different companies and sectors reveal the prac- tice of Reputation Management. Corporate Reputation and Competitiveness is intended to be useful to both managers and students on postgraduate courses.

    Santa Maria del Popolo Piazza del Popolo Metro station: Flaminio, line A 7 AM – 12 PM (Closed Sunday) 4 PM – 7 PM (Closed Sunday) Sculpture of Habakkuk and the Angel by Bernini (after 1652) in the Chigi Chapel Crucifixion of St. Peter (1600-01) by Caravaggio in the Cerasi Chapel. Baroque facade added by Bernini in 1600 Standing on the Piazza del Popolo, near the northern gate of the Aurelian Wall, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo is a small temple with a splendid Renaissance decoration in its interior. In its interior Santa Maria del Popolo’s decoration is unlike any other church in Rome. The ceiling, less high than most built during the same period, is practically bare, while the decoration of each of the small chapels is especially remarkable. Among the beautiful art work found in the church, it is worth highlighting the Chapel Cerasi, which houses two canvases by Caravaggio from 1600, and the Chapel Chigi, built and decorated by Raphael. If you look closely at the wooden benches, you’ll be able to see inscriptions with the names of the people the benches are dedicated to. This custom is also found in a lot of English speaking countries like Scotland or Edinburgh, where the families of the person deceased buy urban furniture in their honour. ******************************************** Located next to the northern gate of Rome on the elegant Piazza del Popolo, the 15th-century Santa Maria del Popolo is famed for its wealth of Renaissance art. Its walls and ceilings are decorated with paintings by some of the greatest artists ever to work in Rome: Pinturicchio, Raphael, Carracci, Caravaggio and Bernini.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Renaissance History Through His Humanist Accomplishments
    3-79 A / /vO.7Y HUMANISM AND THE ARTIST RAPHAEL: A VIEW OF RENAISSANCE HISTORY THROUGH HIS HUMANIST ACCOMPLISHMENTS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science By Douglas W. Miller, B.A., M.S. Denton, Texas August, 1991 Miller, Douglas W., Humanism and the Artist Raphael: A View of Renaissance History Through His Humanist Accomplishments. Master of Science (History), August, 1991, 217 pp., 56 illustrations, bibliography, 43 titles. This thesis advances the name of Raphael Santi, the High Renaissance artist, to be included among the famous and highly esteemed Humanists of the Renaissance period. While the artistic creativity of the Renaissance is widely recognized, the creators have traditionally been viewed as mere craftsmen. In the case of Raphael Santi, his skills as a painter have proven to be a timeless medium for the immortalizing of the elevated thinking and turbulent challenges of the time period. His interests outside of painting, including archaeology and architecture, also offer strong testimony of his Humanist background and pursuits. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to gratefully acknowledge the kind and loving support (and patience) that I have received from my wife and my entire family. Thank you for everything, and I dedicate this thesis to all of you, but especially to the person that most embodies all those humanist qualities this thesis attempts to celebrate and honor. That person is my father. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.. ... .. v INTRODUCTION................. CHAPTER I. HUMANISM: THE ESSENCE OF THE RENAISSANCE.
