UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 7504367 Provenance/Source of Acquisition Dr. Scheibel gifted the collection to the University of California Regents in 2014. Biography/History Arnold Bernard Scheibel was born in New York in 1923, received his undergraduate education at Horace Mann High School and Columbia College, then obtained an M.D. degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1946. Part of his time in medical school, as well as his internship, residency, and two years of active service were spent as a member of the U.S. Army Medical Corps. Originally Dr. Scheibel had intended to specialize in cardiology, but his interest was drawn to psychiatry during his internship and he obtained a year's psychiatry residency at Washington University, St. Louis. In 1948 he began his active Army service as Staff Physician in Neuropsychiatry, Brooke General Hospital, San Antonio, Texas, where he also served as Psychiatrist in a Child Guidance Clinic which he helped to develop. At that point Dr. Scheibel felt that clinical psychiatry only partially satisfied his questions about the riddle of brain and mind. Seeking an additional approach, he was advised to spend some time in a brain research laboratory. Thus, after release from active military service in 1950, he joined Warren S. McCulloch's group at the Illinois Psychiatric Institute in Chicago as a research fellow in neuroanatomy, neuropathology and neurophysiology. Scheibel's work there led to an M.S. in Neuroanatomy from the University of Illinois Graduate School in 1953. From that time onward, Dr. Scheibel continued his combined interest in psychiatry and neuroanatomy in both his research and teaching, elucidating how the fine structure of the nervous system serves as a substrate for cognition and behavior. Dr. Scheibel's first academic appointment was at the University of Tennessee Medical School's Departments of Psychiatry and Anatomy, from 1953-1955. This time was interrupted by a 15 month-long Guggenheim Fellowship, spent mainly with Dr. Giuseppe Moruzzi at the Neurophysiology Institute, University of Pisa, but also several months with Dr. Alf Brodal at the Anatomy Institute, University of Oslo. Soon after his return to Memphis, Scheibel was invited by Dr. Horace W. "Tid" Magoun to join the Department of Anatomy in the new School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with an additional appointment in the Department of Psychiatry. UCLA was his home for the next 56 years. His internationally recognized research, using neurohistological and neurophysiological techniques, investigated the structural basis of consciousness and higher cognitive functions in young and aging normal brains and in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. His teaching, of undergraduate, graduate, and medical students and psychiatric residents, was lauded; many a "best professor ever!!!" turned up in his student evaluations. His leadership achievements as Acting Arnold B. Scheibel papers, 414 2 1942-2010 Director and Director of the UCLA Brain Research Institute, during a period of fiscal hard times, were remarkable. Coupled with a kind and sensitive personality, he is definitely a Renaissance Man. Dr. Scheibel would be the first to remind one that the credit for his research achievements are not his alone. Gifted graduate students and postdoctoral fellows participated and contributed, but the most important co-worker on his Golgi stain neuroanatomical studies was his first wife, Madge E. Scheibel (known as Mila). She was a psychotherapist who learned the intricacies of the Golgi stain method along with her husband, and fully participated in his neurohistological research until her early death in 1976. "The Scheibels," as they often were called, were internationally known as a gifted pair. In 1979, Dr. Scheibel met Professor Marian C. Diamond, an anatomist at the University of California, Berkeley, who made major discoveries in how environmental factors can alter the anatomy of the brain and who studied links between the brain and the immune system. Drs. Diamond and Scheibel were married in 1982 and established a commuter marriage, with each continuing to teach at their home institution until Dr. Scheibel's retirement from UCLA. They now (2015) both live in Berkeley, CA. Scope and Content This collection provides close and detailed, if not entirely complete, coverage of Dr. Arnold B. Scheibel's research and teaching career, especially during his lengthy service at UCLA. The professional papers include drafts/texts of many of his numerous journal articles and some chapters, often coupled with interesting correspondence. Additional writings include moving memoirs and obituaries for colleagues, thoughtful editorials, insightful reviews for journal and book editors, and charming essays. The extensive correspondence with friends, colleagues and admirers illuminates not only his continuing search for potential neuroanatomic substrates of behavior, but also reveals his warmth, kindness, and empathy with others. The teaching/administration series provides illustrations of Dr. Scheibel's dedication to, and excellence in, teaching. Noteworthy are the videotapes and compact discs of the Neuroscience 102 course organized and taught by Dr. Scheibel. This section also includes materials on his engagement as member, Acting Director, and Director of the UCLA Brain Research Institute, and on his many other services to the University. (The UCLA University Archives contains more complete documentation about the Brain Research Institute.) The collection also contains numerous photographs and some hand-drawn illustrations of Golgi stain studies done in collaboration with Scheibel's wife and collaborator, Dr. Madge E. Scheibel.

  • Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) Worked in Various Careers Before Turning His Attention to Sculpture Full Time at the Age of Thirty
    1950 Sculpture in Wood and Stone by Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) worked in various careers before turning his attention to sculpture full time at the age of thirty. His skills earned him a position as a professor of art at the University of Texas and commissions from many public and private institutions. His sculptures are created in various media, such as Lucite and steel. This exhibition of the California-based artist’s work presented thirty-seven of his sculptures. Barnes studied with Carl Milles (1875– 1955) at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. [File contents: exhibition flier] Color Compositions by June Wayne (March) June Wayne’s (1918–2011) work received publicity in an article by Jules Langsner, who praised her for developing techniques of drawing the viewer’s eye through imagery and producing a sense of movement in her subjects. Her more recent works (as presented in the show) were drawn from the dilemmas to be found in Franz Kafka’s works. [File contents: two articles, one more appropriate for a later show of 1953 in memoriam Director Donald Bear] Prints by Ralph Scharff (April) Sixteen pieces by Ralph Scharff (1922–1993) were exhibited in the Thayer Gallery. Some of the works included in this exhibition were Apocrypha, I Hate Birds, Walpurgisnacht, Winter 1940, Nine Cats, and Four Cows and Tree Oranges. Watercolors by James Couper Wright (April 3–April 15) Eighteen of James Couper Wright’s (1906–1969) watercolors were presented in this exhibition. Wright was born in Scotland, but made his home in Southern California for the previous eleven years.

NOTE I and several of my friends have wanted to complete the EPCOT vision as a city where people could live and work. We have been looking for opportunities to do this for the last 35 years, ever since we completed EPCOT at Disney World on October 1, 1983. We intend to do this in a small farming community patterned after the life that Walt and Roy experienced in Marceline, Missouri, where they lived from 1906-1910. They so loved their life in Marceline that it became the inspiration for Main Street in Disneyland. We will call our town an OASIS VILLAGE. It will become a showcase and a preview center for all of our OASIS TECHNOLOGIES. We are on the verge of doing this, but first we had to invent the OASIS MACHINE. You can learn all about it by looking at our website at www.oasis-system.com . There you will learn that the OM provides water and energy (at minimum cost) that will allow people to grow their own food. This machine is a real drought buster, and will be in demand all over the world. This will provide enough income for us to build our OVs in many locations.

By this choice he also carried on his family tradition, which started with his great-grandfather, professor of general pathology in Parma during the 1840s [8], and continued with his uncle, col- laborator of Jean-Martin Charcot. In 1927 Moruzzi graduated magna cum laude from the University of Parma, which provided him with a stimu- lating environment and excellent teachers. Prominent among them was the neuroanatomist Antonio Pensa, pupil of Camillo Golgi. Moruzzi sometimes started to work at five o’clock in the morning, and, because of his dedication to work, he was given the key of the small lab with its very old instruments [8]. In 1930, as a third year student, he published his first paper, on the granular layer of the cerebellum [8].

POPULARITY AND CLOUT So there is some yelling and shouting about the lack of diversity in the live-action races for a Little Gold Man, but the media notes with approval that animation has spread its nominations around. For true diversity at the Oscars, look at the animation nominees In the animated feature category, Academy voters rewarded as warm a use of CGI as you’ll see (Pixar’s “Inside Out”), Aardman’s always colorful stop-mo- tion (“Shaun the Sheep Movie”), stunning stop-motion puppetry (“Anomali- sa”), crayon-warm 2D with a live-action sequence (“Boy and the World”) and Studio Ghibli’s legendary hand-drawn beauty (“When Marnie Was There”). -http://839iat.se/1P9QiaL The thing to keep in mind: the Academy Awards are (generally speaking) a popular- ity contest and a demonstration of the leverage owned by our fine entertainment conglomerates. From the beginning of the AMPAS, artistic merit has been only one consideration among the commercial ones. And of course in the 21st century, tub-thumping for your nominees in the mainstream and social media also counts for a lot.
