It is likewise reminiscent of the deposit of faith of the Roman Catholic Church and of the traditions of two teaching communities within the Church. The decorative outer circle indicates the date the university was chartered and the motto, "Veritatem, Justitiam Diligite." The quotation "Love Ye Truth and Justice," a conflation of Zechariah 8.8 and 8.19, expresses the biblical message that truth and justice are the necessary conditions for peace, prosperity and happiness. This wise instruction has also been discovered by reason and confirmed by history. This founding conviction of the University of Dallas continues to inform all that UD aspires to do. Enclosed within the blue band which bears the motto, in an octagonal field of green, are several emblems associated with the traditions of the university. The central figure of the triquetra interwoven with the triangle is a double symbol of the Holy Trinity to Whom the university is dedicated. The circle is a symbol of eternity and of the unity of the Godhead. The fleur-de-lis, at once an ancient symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of France, recalls the direct and indirect French origins of the two teaching orders which cooperated initially with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth in establishing the University of Dallas. The Cistercian Order originated in France in the Eleventh Century; the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur was founded in Belgium in 1819 by a Cistercian Monk. A crusader’s shield, emblematic of faith, stands within the green field on either side of the central device. The shield on the left contains a star, a traditional emblem of Mary, as well as the chosen emblem of Texas, the Lone Star State. The shield on the right presents the torch of liberty and learning. The branches of live oak and olive trees, taken from the Seal of Texas, make further reference to the State. The Trinity River, on which the university is located, is represented by the he- raldic device of the wavy lines centered beneath the emblem of the Blessed Trinity. A mosaic of the Seal hangs in the J.M. Haggar, Sr., University Center foyer com- pleted by art alumnus Xavier Zamarripa, was commissioned by the Class of 2002. A new mosaic rendition of the Seal, created by art history alumna Julie Richey, was commissioned by the Class of 2018 and Dr. and Mrs. Brannon Marlowe, hangs in the Cardinal Farrell Hall foyer. 4 UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS Mission The University of Dallas is dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom, of truth and of virtue as the proper and primary ends of education. The university seeks to educate its students so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues, prepare themselves for life and work in a problematic and changing world and become leaders able to act responsibly for their own good and for the good of their family, community, country and church. The university understands human nature to be spiritual and physical, rational and free. It is guided by principles of learning that acknowledge transcendent standards of truth and excellence that are themselves the object of search in an education. The university is especially dedicated to the pursuit of liberal education in both its undergraduate and graduate programs. In its liberal arts programs the university is committed to the recovery and renewal of the Western heritage of liberal educa- tion. The university is equally committed to providing professional programs at the graduate level. Its professional programs, in a common spirit with the university’s liberal arts programs, are dedicated to reflecting critically upon the ends governing one’s own profession, to fostering principled, moral judgment and to providing the knowledge and skills requisite for professional excellence. Whether professional or liberal, the university is “convinced of the priority of the ethical over the technical, of the primacy of persons over things, of the superiority of the spirit over matter.”1 The university seeks to offer those graduate and undergraduate programs that will address important needs of society and that can be offered in a manner consistent with the university’s primary institutional commitments. The university as a whole is shaped by the long tradition of Catholic learning and acknowledges its commitment to the Catholic Church and its teaching. The university is dedicated to the recovery of the Christian intellectual tradition and to the renewal of Catholic theology in fidelity to the Church and in constructive dialogue with the modern world. It seeks to maintain the dialogue of faith and reason in its curriculum and programs without violating the proper autonomy of each of the arts and sciences. The university is open to faculty and students of all denominations and it supports their academic and religious freedom. It thus seeks to provide an academic and collegial community which will help students acquire a mature understanding of their faith, develop their spiritual lives and prepare themselves for their calling as men and women of faith in the world. THE CONSTANTIN COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS The Constantin College of Liberal Arts seeks to educate students of seriousness, intelligence and spirit in accordance with the fundamental mission of the University of Dallas—so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues which will prepare them for life and work in a changing and problematic world, achieve a mature un- derstanding of their faith and become men and women who act responsibly for their own good and the good of their family, community, country and church. The specific mission of the Constantin College is to provide undergraduate education through baccalaureate degree programs which include a substantial and coherent core curriculum common to all undergraduates and major studies in the humanities and sciences proper to liberal learning. The core curriculum emphasizes the study of the great deeds and works of Western civilization, both ancient and modern. The majors are built upon the core and invite students to disciplined inquiry into fundamental aspects of being and of our relation to God, to nature and to fel- 1.

Spain I. Introduction “The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history. It represents the experiences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag.” Woodrow Wilson1 “FLAG, n. A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—‘Rubbish may be shot here.’” Ambrose Bierce2 The power of the flag as a national symbol was all too evident in the 1990s: the constitutional debate over flag burning in the United States; the violent removal of the communist seal from the Romanian flag; and the adoption of the former czarist flag by the Russian Federation. In the United States, Texas alone possesses a flag and seal directly descended from revolution and nationhood. The distinctive feature of INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page both the state flag and seal, the Lone Star, is famous worldwide because of the brief Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 existence of the Republic of Texas (March 2, 1836, to December 29, 1845).3 For all Solid Vexillology 2 the Lone Star’s fame, however, there is much misinformation about it.

  • Solemn Consecration and Installation of Monsignor Francis Malone As the Third Bishop of Shreveport Tuesday, January 28, 2020, 2:00 P.M
    SOLEMN CONSECRATION AND INSTALLATION OF MONSIGNOR FRANCIS MALONE AS THE THIRD BISHOP OF SHREVEPORT TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2020, 2:00 P.M. CONVENTION CENTER, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA Your Excellency Metropolitan Gregory Aymond, Your Excellency Bishop Anthony Taylor, Your Excellency Bishop Michael Duca, Your Excellency Bishop Designate Francis Malone, My Brother Archbishops and Bishops, Dear Priests, Deacons, Consecrated Religious, Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Shreveport, Dear Friends: I am truly pleased to be with you here for the Consecration and Installation of the third Bishop of Shreveport, His Excellency Francis Malone. I want to express my gratitude to Bishop Michael Duca of Baton Rouge for his years of service as Ordinary of Shreveport and to the Very Reverend Peter Mangum who has served as Administrator of the Diocese for more than a year. Bishop-Elect Malone, in a recent visit of American Bishops to Rome, the Holy Father told them: “You must be close to God in your prayer and your personal life; you must be close to your priests as a father and walk with them; and you must be close to your people.” (Remarks to Bishops of Ecclesiastical Region I, November 2019) Your years of experience in the Diocese of Little Rock have taught you what it means to be close to the People of God. These last years as Pastor of Christ the King, have honed your pastoral skills, which complement your administrative gifts. At your press conference, tongue-in-cheek, you said, “I’m a big shot!” You are a “big shot” with “big responsibilities.” The Big “Big Shot” – Pope Francis – ordained some bishops at the Vatican Basilica and, in the course of his homily, reflected: “In the Church entrusted to you, be faithful custodians and dispensers of the mysteries of Christ.

  • Central Forces Notes
    Central Forces Corinne A. Manogue with Tevian Dray, Kenneth S. Krane, Jason Janesky Department of Physics Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331, USA [email protected] c 2007 Corinne Manogue March 1999, last revised February 2009 Abstract The two body problem is treated classically. The reduced mass is used to reduce the two body problem to an equivalent one body prob- lem. Conservation of angular momentum is derived and exploited to simplify the problem. Spherical coordinates are chosen to respect this symmetry. The equations of motion are obtained in two different ways: using Newton’s second law, and using energy conservation. Kepler’s laws are derived. The concept of an effective potential is introduced. The equations of motion are solved for the orbits in the case that the force obeys an inverse square law. The equations of motion are also solved, up to quadrature (i.e. in terms of definite integrals) and numerical integration is used to explore the solutions. 1 2 INTRODUCTION In the Central Forces paradigm, we will examine a mathematically tractable and physically useful problem - that of two bodies interacting with each other through a force that has two characteristics: (a) it depends only on the separation between the two bodies, and (b) it points along the line con- necting the two bodies. Such a force is called a central force. Perhaps the 1 most common examples of this type of force are those that follow the r2 behavior, specifically the Newtonian gravitational force between two point masses or spherically symmetric bodies and the Coulomb force between two point or spherically symmetric electric charges.

  • Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting?
    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.
