  • Columbus Day, 2011
    Proclamations Proc. 8735 To honor Leif Erikson and celebrate our Nordic-American heritage, the Congress, by joint resolution (Public Law 88–566) approved on September 2, 1964, has authorized the President to proclaim October 9 of each year as ‘‘Leif Erikson Day.’’ NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2011, as Leif Erikson Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, ac- tivities, and programs to honor our rich Nordic-American heritage. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth. BARACK OBAMA Proclamation 8735 of October 7, 2011 Columbus Day, 2011 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus and his crewmembers sighted land after an ambitious voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The ideals that guided them to this land—courage, determination, and a thirst for dis- covery—have inspired countless Americans and led to some of our Nation’s proudest accomplishments. Today, we renew our commitment to fostering the same spirit of innovation and exploration that will help future genera- tions reach new horizons. Ten weeks before his arrival in the Americas, Columbus and his crew- members set sail from Spain in search of a westward route to Asia. Though their journey was daring, it did not yield the trade route they sought.

  • 322 School Ceremonies and Observances
    322 SCHOOL CEREMONIES AND OBSERVANCES The United States Constitution and the constitutions of the states, as well as federal and state laws and related court rulings, clearly establish the concept of “church and state separation” and the “preclusion of sectarian instruction in public schools.” In order to help staff members abide by the spirit and letter of the law and to avoid compromising any student’s religious or conscientious beliefs or freedoms, the following guidelines have been established: 1. The Williams Bay School shall offer the Pledge of Allegiance or National Anthem at the beginning of the school day each day. No student shall be compelled, against his or her objections or those of his or her parents or guardians, to recite the Pledge or sing the National Anthem. 2. The observance of religious holidays is not the responsibility of the public schools. 3. Since a public school is not a place of worship, the instructional materials, activities, decorations or assembly programs that are introduced into the schools should not promote any religion. 4. While it is recognized that many activities are initiated with the approach to major holidays to capitalized on the readiness and interest that is generated at these times, it should be understood that such occasions frequently have religious underpinnings. Care should be taken to relate only to the secular aspects of these holidays. a. Music programs given at times close to religious holidays should not use the religious aspect of these holidays as the underlying motive or theme. Although religious music is appropriate in the schools to the extent that it is sung or presented for musical rather than religious content, its use should not violate the secular nature of the school.

  • Edmund Drury
    Edmund Drury 1 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury WorldsOn Other An Investigation into Worldbuilding A Dissertation By Edmund Drury 2 3 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury Contents Introduction 7 Fictional Worlds in Real Place 12 Maps and Fiction 29 Translation 60 Conclusion 78 List of Illustrations 90 Bibliography 95 Printed and Bound by Edmund Drury 4 5 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury Introduction ‘Above all, worldbuilding is not technically necessary. It is the great clomping foot of nerdism. It is the attempt to exhaustively survey a place that isn’t there. A good writer would never try to do that, even with a place that is there. It isn’t possible, & if it was the results wouldn’t be readable: they would constitute not a book but the biggest library ever built, a hallowed place of dedication & lifelong study. This gives us a clue to the psychological type of the worldbuilder & the worldbuilder’s victim, & makes us very afraid.’ (Harrison, 2007) So is worldbuilding just boring nerdism? Certainly not all aspects of worldbuilding appeal to everyone. According to many it was the lengthy detail of trade disputes and politics that made the new Star Wars trilogy such a disaster, and certain passages in Lord of the Rings, one of the key texts in fantasy worldbuilding, are not always the easiest to read. Of course M. John Harrison cannot be totally averse to worldbuilding (his best known work is set in the fi ctional city of Viriconium) but he believes that focusing on it as an activity in its own right risks putting the creative emphasis in the wrong place.

  • Valuing Immigrant Memories As Common Heritage
    Valuing Immigrant Memories as Common Heritage The Leif Erikson Monument in Boston TORGRIM SNEVE GUTTORMSEN This article examines the history of the monument to the Viking and transatlantic seafarer Leif Erikson (ca. AD 970–1020) that was erected in 1887 on Common- wealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. It analyzes how a Scandinavian-American immigrant culture has influenced America through continued celebration and commemoration of Leif Erikson and considers Leif Erikson monuments as a heritage value for the public good and as a societal resource. Discussing the link between discovery myths, narratives about refugees at sea and immigrant memo- ries, the article suggests how the Leif Erikson monument can be made relevant to present-day society. Keywords: immigrant memories; historical monuments; Leif Erikson; national and urban heritage; Boston INTRODUCTION At the unveiling ceremony of the Leif Erikson monument in Boston on October 29, 1887, the Governor of Massachusetts, Oliver Ames, is reported to have opened his address with the following words: “We are gathered here to do honor to the memory of a man of whom indeed but little is known, but whose fame is that of having being one of those pioneers in the world’s history, whose deeds have been the source of the most important results.”1 Governor Ames was paying tribute to Leif Erikson (ca. AD 970–1020) from Iceland, who, according to the Norse Sagas, was a Viking Age transatlantic seafarer and explorer.2 At the turn History & Memory, Vol. 30, No. 2 (Fall/Winter 2018) 79 DOI: 10.2979/histmemo.30.2.04 79 This content downloaded from 158.36.76.2 on Tue, 28 Aug 2018 11:30:49 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Torgrim Sneve Guttormsen of the nineteenth century, the story about Leif Erikson’s being the first European to land in America achieved popularity in the United States.
