It is a pleasure to work collegially with him. We want to do all we can to assure that Haverford remains one of the best colleges in the world at a time of enormous change in higher education. My role involves framing the larger context in which we do our work and, together with ad hoc and standing committees, developing a draft of the central tenets of our plan. Our approach is to elicit the best thinking of our constituents through broadly based, collaborative and interactive conversations involving centrally the faculty and other constituents of the College. The aim is to arrive at a compelling and ambitious set of goals and aspirations that will strengthen the College and draw constituents, internal and external, together in common cause. n It’s Academic: As we begin to formalize our plans, it is THE BASIC FACTS.

It’s about reaffirming the abiding aid; the economic and career anxieties of families; the financial values of liberal arts education. Most fundamentally, it is constraints of the College itself; as well as the challenges of keeping about the steadfast commitment to intellectual rigor and up with technology and of the lack of economy of scale. One moral seriousness that makes the College distinctive and could go on. worthy of the continuing allegiance of all stakeholders. But despite all this, Haverford is one of the fortunate few.

MUSIC FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MASSES: AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, THE RECORDING INDUSTRY, AND PUNK ROCK IN THE COLD WAR by MINDY CLEGG Under the Direction of ALEX SAYF CUMMINGS, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the connections between US foreign policy initiatives, the global expansion of the American recording industry, and the rise of punk in the 1970s and 1980s. The material support of the US government contributed to the globalization of the recording industry and functioned as a facet American-style consumerism. As American culture spread, so did questions about the Cold War and consumerism. As young people began to question the Cold War order they still consumed American mass culture as a way of rebelling against the establishment. But corporations complicit in the Cold War produced this mass culture. Punks embraced cultural rebellion like hippies.
  • The Experience of Early Friends

    The Experience of Early Friends

    The Experience of Early Friends By Andrew Wright 2005 Historical Context The world of the early Friends was in the midst of radical change. The Renaissance in Europe had strengthened the role of science and reason in the Western world. The individual’s power to understand and make sense of reality on their own was challenging the authority of the Catholic Church. Until recently there had been only one church in Western Europe. Martin Luther’s “95 Theses” that critiqued the Catholic Church is generally seen as the beginning of the Reformation when western Christianity splintered into a plethora of various “protestant” churches. In order to fully understand the significance of the Reformation we must realize that political authority and religious authority were very closely aligned at this time in history. Political authority was used to enforce religious orthodoxy as well as to punish those who expressed unconventional views. Meditating on the intensity of feeling that many have today about issues like abortion or gay/ lesbian rights or end of life issues might begin to help us to understand the intensity of feeling that people experienced around religious issues during the Reformation. Many people felt like only the triumph of their religious group could secure their right to religious expression or save them from persecution. The notion of separation of church and state only began to become a possibility much later. The English Reformation and Civil War In England, the reformation developed a little later than in Germany and in a slightly different way. In 1534, King Henry VIII declared the Church of England independent of the Roman Catholic papacy and hierarchy.

    Thomas Rudyard Early Friends' "Oracle of Law" By ALFRED W. BRAITHWAITE FRIENDS' HISTORICAL SOCIETY FRIENDS HOUSE, EUSTON ROAD, LONDON, N.W.i also obtainable at the Friends' Book Store, 302 Arch Street, Philadelphia 6, Pa., U.S.A. PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY HEADLEY BROTHERS LTD 109 KINGSWAY LONDON WC2 AND ASHFORD KENT Thomas Rudyard EARLY FRIENDS' "ORACLE OF LAW" HE earliest Friends had not much use for lawyers. This is true, I think, both colloquially and literally. TFor the colloquial sense we need not look further than the first few pages of George Fox's Journal, where Fox describes how, in one of the apocalyptic visions he had at the beginning of his ministry, the Lord opened to him "three things relating to those three great professions in the world, physic, divinity (so called), and law"; how the physicians were "out of the wisdom of God by which the creatures were made," the priests were "out of the true faith," and the lawyers were "out of the equity and out of the true justice, and out of the law of God." 1 This passage, though written at a much later date, and containing certain expressions used by Fox later,2 seems to reflect fairly the attitude of the earliest Friends. They were not anarchists; they believed in the rule of law;3 but they did not believe in law as administered by lawyers. In a pamphlet published in 1658 Fox wrote: "I see a darkness among the Lawyers, selfishness, wilfulness, and earthliness and unreasonableness," and in another place: "I beheld the Lawyers black, their black robe as a puddle, and like unto a black pit, almost covered over with black­ ness, yet there was a righteousness in the middle, which their unreasonableness run from."4 1 Journal, p.

    Consciousness, Accessibility, and the Mesh Between Psychology and Neuroscience

    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2007) 30, 481–548 Printed in the United States of America doi: 10.1017/S0140525X07002786 Consciousness, accessibility, and the mesh between psychology and neuroscience Ned Block Department of Philosophy, New York University, New York, NY 10003 [email protected] Abstract: How can we disentangle the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness from the neural machinery of the cognitive access that underlies reports of phenomenal consciousness? We see the problem in stark form if we ask how we can tell whether representations inside a Fodorian module are phenomenally conscious. The methodology would seem straightforward: Find the neural natural kinds that are the basis of phenomenal consciousness in clear cases – when subjects are completely confident and we have no reason to doubt their authority – and look to see whether those neural natural kinds exist within Fodorian modules. But a puzzle arises: Do we include the machinery underlying reportability within the neural natural kinds of the clear cases? If the answer is “Yes,” then there can be no phenomenally conscious representations in Fodorian modules. But how can we know if the answer is “Yes”? The suggested methodology requires an answer to the question it was supposed to answer! This target article argues for an abstract solution to the problem and exhibits a source of empirical data that is relevant, data that show that in a certain sense phenomenal consciousness overflows cognitive accessibility. I argue that we can find a neural realizer of this overflow if we assume that the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness does not include the neural basis of cognitive accessibility and that this assumption is justified (other things being equal) by the explanations it allows.

    JANE GOLDEN Executive Director, City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program

    JANE GOLDEN Executive Director, City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program Since the Mural Arts Program began in 1984 as a component of the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network, Jane Golden has been the driving force, overseeing its growth from a small city agency into the nation's largest mural program, a catalyst for positive social change and a model for replication across the country and around the globe. Golden, a young artist initially hired by former Mayor Wilson Goode to help combat the graffiti crisis plaguing the city, reached out to graffiti writers to help turn their destructive energies into creative ones. In the process, she recognized the raw artistic talent among the graffiti writers as she began to provide opportunities for them to channel their creative forces into mural-making. The murals themselves transformed city neighborhoods suffering from years of neglect and hardship. In 1996, the Mural Arts Program was reorganized under the City of Philadelphia Department of Recreation and Golden was put in place as its director, at which time she established the Philadelphia Mural Arts Advocates, a nonprofit organized to raise funds and provide support to the program. Under the direction of Golden, the Mural Arts Program has become a successful hybrid of a city agency and nonprofit organization, creating innovative Photo by Shea Roggio courtesy of works of public art in partnership with various community stakeholders, public Philadelphia Magazine schools, local nonprofits and city agencies, and educating over 20,000 underserved
