(A sketch of the Widener family follows). Founded in 1821 by John Bullock, a leading Quaker, the College began as a se lect school for boys in Wilmington, Delaware. In contrast to the pacifism of its founder's religious beliefs, his successors introduced military instrudion in 1858 and four years later the school became known as Pennsylvania Military Academy. The early curriculum extended from preparatory through college. In 1892, the school, by then located on its present suburban Chester campus, assumed the name Pennsylvania Military College. The long tradition as an exclusively military college ended in 1946 with the admission of returning World War II veterans as non-cadet students. And, in 1967, an even longer tradition was broken when the formerly all-male institution admit­ ted its first female students. To reflect this evolution into a co-educational, predominantly liberal arts col­ lege, the name was changed to PMC Colleges, with Penn Morton College being the designation for the non-military component and Pennsylvania Military College being retained as the name for the cadet corps. During its 157 years , the College has continuously kept pace with the changing needs of our complex American society. In 1970, it acquired the College of Nursing of the Crozer Foundation. When the name Widener College was adopted and the Corps of Cadets discontinued, the Board of Trustees voted to retain the enriched Option C ROTC program. In June, 1975, the College acquired via merger the Delaware Law School, Wilmington, Del., thus en hancing its graduate offerings. In November, 1976, the Board of Trustees for Widener College and the Board of Trustees for Brandywine junior College became synonymous.

The Yusupov black pearl necklace qualifies on all counts. It’s so famous it’s infamous (if you speak Three Amigos), but hardly anyone knows a thing about it. The mystery begins right away - how many pearls are in the damn thing? It’s 30 or 42, depending on which source you believe. If you believe specificity indicates accuracy, then Cartier by Hans Nadelhoffer is your go-to source. According to Nadelhoffer, the Yusupov black pearl necklace contains 30 black pearls weighing 937.84 grains (334). Sounds legit, right? I mean, who makes up the weight of pearls to two decimal points?

ELk'.'.PA,I HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY $- LYNNEWOOD HALL HABS No. PA-6146 Location: 920 Spring Avenue, Elkins Park, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. Significance: Lynnewood Hall, designed by famed Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer in 1898, survives as one of the finest country houses in the Philadelphia area. The 110-room mansion was built for street-car magnate P.A.B. Widener to house his growing family and art collection which would later become internationally renowned. 1 The vast scale and lavish interiors exemplify the remnants of an age when Philadelphia's self-made millionaire industrialists flourished and built their mansions in Cheltenham, apart from the Main Line's old society. Description: Lynnewood Hall is a two-story, seventeen-bay Classical Revival mansion that overlooks a terraced lawn to the south. The house is constructed of limestone and is raised one­ half story on a stone base that forms a terrace around the perimeter of the building. The mansion is a "T" plan with the front facade forming the cross arm of the "T". Enclosed semi­ circular loggias extend from the east and west ends of the cross arm and a three-story wing forms the leg of the 'T' to the north. The most imposing exterior feature is the full-height, five-bay Corinthian portico with a stone staircase and a monumental pediment.

Disco CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org So, the title of this lecture, is: “Two and Monuments Two.” It’s divided into three parts. The first part is called “Disco” which is named after the cat that I adopted in January of 2012 and soon after got tattooed on my leg. You know, I named him Disco, and was told by a friend of mine that he was a Turkish van cat, and these cats often come from the city in Van, Turkey, where they’re often characterized by their thick white coats and two different colored eyes. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org In Van there is this monument devoted to the cat, where there’s two cats, they have the two different colored eyes, and they like swimming, apparently. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org Van, Turkey: I’ve never been there, but my friend Laura Frantz who was in residence here several weeks ago, she had been there and she gave me this postcard that was from the town of Van which now resides next to Disco’s drinking bowl.
