Last night Georgetown University inaugurated the Celebration of Founders Day amid the pomp and splendor which is characteristic of social affairs as at present conducted at the University. The decorations of the Diplomatic Corps, the presence of the Faculty and the Senior Class in their caps and gowns, and. the officers of the R. O. T. C. added color to the gathering. Founders Day is the beginning of a series of annual celebrations in honor of those intrepid priests and educationalists, who, under the leadership of Rev. John Carroll, founded the College in the year 1789. The President of the Yard, William D. Mooney, ’30, addressed the assembly in Gaston Hall and extended greetings in the name of the Faculty and the student body. After this salutation was delivered, Mr. George McNeir, LL.D., of the Board of Regents, read the charter of the University. In an address subsequent to that of Mr. McNeir’s, the President of the University, W. Coleman Nevils, S.J., read the proclamation of Founders Day. Then the Rt. Rev. John M. Mc¬ Namara , D.D., read the names of Andrew White, John Altham-Gravenor, Thomas Gervase, Thomas Copley, Ferdinand Poulton and John Carroll, who were the founders of the University. As each name was read the Archivist of Georgetown University tolled the bell of the First Church of Maryland, in memory of the founders. The bell has been in the possession of the University PAUL CLAUDEL, for many years and it was brought forth from the Archives for this event. After the ringing of the bell the choir sang the Praises of the Founders, which is an Ambassador from France, and recipient ARTURO TOSCANINI, adaptation from Ecclesiastus. of honors in the James Ryder Randall Conductor of the New York Philhar¬ Academy of Letters.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

Of this number 2,000,000 rode in coaches and 500,000 in Pullman sleeping and parlor cars. The period covered embraced practically all of the Christmas trek “back home” for family reunions and the heavy travel to Florida, as well as soldiers visiting their people on furloughs from the various encampments throughout the country. In handling this Christmas traffic, 1,314 extra sections and special trains were operated, in addition to many extra cars on regularly scheduled trains. The heaviest day was December 20, when 202 extra sections were required. There were 1,621 extra runs of Pullman cars, including 1,230 sleeping and 391 parlor car movements.

  • 1 I. This Legal Studies Forum Poetry Anthology Represents the First Effort
    JAMES R. ELKINS* AN ANTHOLOGY OF POETRY BY LAWYERS I. This Legal Studies Forum poetry anthology represents the first effort of a United States legal journal to devote an entire issue to poetry. Law journals do, of course, publish poetry, but they do it sparingly, and when they publish a poem it’s usually a poem about law or the practice of law. For this anthology we have not sought out poetry about law, lawyers, and the legal world but rather poetry by poets educated and trained as lawyers.1 The poets whose work we selected for the anthology write poetry not for their colleagues in the legal profession, but for readers of poetry, for fellow poets, and, of course, for themselves. A surprising number of the lawyer poets included in the anthology have published widely and received significant recognition for their poetry. We have also included in the anthology the work of several unpublished lawyer poets. If the focus has been more generally on published poets, it is simply because the publication of their poetry more readily brought them to our attention. Whether published or unpublished, many of these lawyers have been secret poets in our midst. One does, of course, occasionally find a poem in a law journal. In earlier times, poetry was commonly found in journals like the American Bar Association Journal, Case and Comment,2 and in still older journals like The Green Bag (1889-1914).3 But, today, a poem in a law journal * Editor, Legal Studies Forum. 1 We did not compile the collection with any preestablished criteria for the poetry or for the lawyers we would include.
