BOLD ACTION CAMPAIGN IMPACT REPORT FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL What an incredible five years it has been! On June 30, 2018, we celebrated the successful completion of Bold Action: A Campaign for MICDS. More than 6,000 alumni, parents, grandparents, employees and friends of MICDS participated in this monumental Campaign, giving a grand total of $100 million! This was one of the largest capital campaigns in independent day school history, and that’s because we are an exceptional community with exceptionally generous donors. We are a community that, time and time again, steps up in big and bold ways to support our School. Our $100 million achievement reflects the unique spirit, pride and character of our dynamic community and is testament to the philanthropic legacy of our School that spans nearly 160 years. And now, we can confidently continue to live out the work our Mission calls us to do: to prepare the next generation’s leaders for higher learning, for lives of purpose and service and for the challenges of the world that awaits them. It is my joy to illustrate with this publication the profound impact this Campaign has made on the lives of students and teachers at MICDS—from a student falling in love with STEM research to another becoming a leader on the athletic field to still another learning the most basic fundamentals of a life-long skill such as swimming. As you read, I hope you’ll begin to see just how many lives you have changed and how bright the future is for so many yet to walk our halls. I am deeply grateful for your support, however you have shown it over the years. Your gifts of monetary donations and your time and talent are the reason we have so much to celebrate. On behalf of MICDS, please allow me to be the first to say: Thank you—100 million times over—thank you! Warmly, Lisa L. Lyle Head of School 2 FROM THE CAMPAIGN CHAIR Here’s to changing lives.

Together, we provided approximately 50 faculty and staff the opportunity to send their children to our School, which positively impacts all members of our community and increases faculty and staff retention. Together, we grew our endowment to more than $100 million, ensuring our legacy of excellence will remain intact for generations to come.

    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • Hay Any Work for Cooper 1 ______
    MARPRELATE TRACTS: HAY ANY WORK FOR COOPER 1 ________________________________________________________________________________ Hay Any Work For Cooper.1 Or a brief pistle directed by way of an hublication2 to the reverend bishops, counselling them if they will needs be barrelled up3 for fear of smelling in the nostrils of her Majesty and the state, that they would use the advice of reverend Martin for the providing of their cooper. Because the reverend T.C.4 (by which mystical5 letters is understood either the bouncing parson of East Meon,6 or Tom Cook's chaplain)7 hath showed himself in his late Admonition To The People Of England to be an unskilful and beceitful8 tub-trimmer.9 Wherein worthy Martin quits himself like a man, I warrant you, in the modest defence of his self and his learned pistles, and makes the Cooper's hoops10 to fly off and the bishops' tubs11 to leak out of all cry.12 Penned and compiled by Martin the metropolitan. Printed in Europe13 not far from some of the bouncing priests. 1 Cooper: A craftsman who makes and repairs wooden vessels formed of staves and hoops, as casks, buckets, tubs. (OED, p.421) The London street cry ‘Hay any work for cooper’ provided Martin with a pun on Thomas Cooper's surname, which Martin expands on in the next two paragraphs with references to hubs’, ‘barrelling up’, ‘tub-trimmer’, ‘hoops’, ‘leaking tubs’, etc. 2 Hub: The central solid part of a wheel; the nave. (OED, p.993) 3 A commodity commonly ‘barrelled-up’ in Elizabethan England was herring, which probably explains Martin's reference to ‘smelling in the nostrils of her Majesty and the state’.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

The summer weather has not lived up to expectations. Who mentioned climate change? England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

  • R.R. Kershaw, "Lincoln: Gentlemen, Musicians and Bakers,"
    87 LINCOLN Gentlemen, musicians and bakers" Though Lincoln has a distinct claim to fame as one of the earliest General Baptist churches, knowledge of it has been scanty in the extreme. This has been due essentially, as so often elsewhere, to the dearth of individual church and wider early denominational records: the first Lincoln church book - deposited with Lincolnshire Archives in 1959 - only has records dating from 1767, and in any case appears to have been a Particular Baptist offshoot from a church at Horncastle. In 1911 W.S. Linton, church secretary of the Thomas Cooper Memorial Church in Lincoln, attempted a 'History of the General Baptist Church in Lincoln' (a typescript copy is in the Angus Library at Regent's Park College). But Linton did little more, for the period before 1700, than ransack Whitley and the older general histories for the sparse and uninformative general references to Lincoln to be found there. In these unpromising circumstances, is it possible to recover aspects of a 'lost' history from hitherto neglected sources? In the diocese of Lincoln, it assuredly is possible. For among the diocesan records are not only a host of early wills and inventories, but also the records of ecclesiastical authority which enable names of the earliest Baptists to be discovered. Armed with these names, and with sometimes vivid detail from the records of visitation courts to hand, the wills and inventories flesh out character, place individuals in social and economic perspective, and enable not only a membership listing but also valuahle clues to the tenor of the church to emerge.

  • A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St
    A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, 1950-1970 AARON COWAN n the latter years of the 1960s, a strange phenomenon occurred in the cities of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. Massive white round Iobjects, dozens of acres in size, began appearing in these cities' down- towns, generating a flurry of excitement and anticipation among their residents. According to one expert, these unfamiliar structures resembled transport ships for "a Martian army [that] decided to invade Earth."1 The gigantic objects were not, of course, flying saucers but sports stadiums. They were the work not of alien invaders, but of the cities' own leaders, who hoped these unusual and futuristic-looking structures would be the key to bringing their struggling cities back to life. At the end of the Second World War, government and business leaders in the cities of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and St. Louis recognized that their cities, once proud icons of America's industrial and commercial might, were dying. Shrouded in a haze of sulphureous smoke, their riparian transportation advantages long obsolete, each city was losing population by the thou- sands while crime rates skyrocketed. Extensive flooding, ever the curse of river cities, had wreaked havoc on all three cities' property values during 1936 and 1937, compounding economic difficulties ushered in with the Riverfront Stadium in Great Depression. While the industrial mobilization of World War II had Cincinnati. Cincinnati brought some relief, these cities' leaders felt less than sanguine about the Museum Center, Cincinnati Historical Society Library postwar future.2 In 1944, the Wall Street Journal rated Pittsburgh a "Class D" city with a bleak future and little promise for economic growth.
