Austin • University and from the position of Editor-in-Chicf oC the East Texas Historical Journal was an occasion for pause and reflection among his many friends and associates who have known and worked with • him over the years. I have known Dr. Chamberlain for a decade, and consider my association with him as my great good fortune. I first met C. K. Chamberlain on a warm September day in the early 1960's, shortly after my appointment to the faculty of Stephen F. Austin College. He was not at all what I had expected of a senior professor and department • head. J was in that stage of life which might be called "post-graduate school withdrawal" and was (orn between fear of the slave driving senior professors and the desire to rise to a position where I could imitate them. I expected that Dr. Charles Kincheloe Chamberlain, Professor and Head of the Department of History and PoUt ical Science, would be a stern visaged, aloof man who wore his ra nk and • office like a badge, and who condescendingly referred to a junior faculty member as "young man", Instead, I saw before me a smiling, pleasant man of slightly below medium heigh I who Introduced himself as Dick Chamberlain. That day we had a long conversation in which he proved both helpful and considerate. It took me only five minutes to know that he was a man whom I could like; and less than five more minutes to know that he was a man whom I could respect. Over the years my affection and admiration for him has grown. I am, however, only one of legions who feel the same way. • Dick Chamberlain is a man who lives a full life. He is honored by his students, colleagues, friends and associates. A man of seeming boundless energy, he enthusiastically serves his students, his university, his community and his church with all his many and varied talents. C. K. Chamberlain was born September 3, 1900, in Burnet. Texas, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Burkett Barton Chamberlain, a farming and ranching fBmily. After graduating from Kateway High School, he attended Howard Payne College and West Texas State • CoUege, receiving his degree from the latter institution in 1926. He began his teaching career in public education as principal of the Knox. City High School in 1921. He continued his education and received his Masters of Arts degree from the University of Texas in 1928. Dr. Chamberlain and his new bride, the former Ruth Britt, began their long association with the East Texas area in 1928 when he accepted a position as a history teacher in the Nacogdoches high school They had one son, the late Major Ken Burkett Chamberlain, U.S.A.F. While in the acogdoches school system Dr. Chamberlain served not only as a teacher, bUI as principal of the high school for sixteen years and as earl L. Davis is an Assistant Professor ofHistory at Stephen F. Austin StQte University. 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL JOURNAL superintendent of the public school system during World War II. e. K. Chamberlain joined the History and Political Science Department at Stephen F. Austin State University in 1946. He completed his Doctor in Philosophy degree at the University of Texas in January of 1957, and became chairman of the department in • August of that year. When he came to that post, the department had but seven members , and a limited number of courses. The growth of the department was rapid, and the number of courses and the quality of the instruction increased greatly during his tenure. In 1965 the department was divided and Dr. Chamberlain retained his chairmanship of the History Department. His faculty was both competant and cooperative. He hired without prejudice; and at a time when many were still reluctant to offer positions to women Dr. Chamberlain actively encouraged them to join our faculty. Despite predictions of dire disaster and some feeling that Dick Chamberlain's toleration was finally going to get him into trouble, no such disaster developed. The members of the department now fully agree, and feel that the presence of women on the staff added balance and strength to the department. When Dr. Olamberlain stepped down from the chairmanship in 1969, his department numbered twenty members, most of whom held the Doctor of Philosophy degree. His building of the history department was a remarkable achievement. After passing on the burden of the chairmanship to Professor Robert S. Maxwell,i>r. • Chamberlain continued, as he always had, teaching and advising his students--i"ejoicing with them in their good fortune, consoling them in their great and small tragedies just as he did with their parents and grandparents a generation or two ago. As both teacher and man, no one is more genuinely liked or held in higher regard by both the students and faculty on the University campus. Quoting a 1957 newspaper article: "A favorite among all SFA students and faculty, Dr. Chamberlain had been elected 'favorite teacher' in the Austinite poll for several years." He has won that award a number of times since.

Remnants of the Polish Jewry that did not emigrate, regardless of whether they considered themselves Poles, Poles of Jewish descent or Polish Jews, often felt fearful about speaking of their ancestry, let alone acting upon it. Jewish organizations and social life did not disappear, but religious congregations in particular gradually diminished in number and activity. Post-socialist Poland has become an arena of profound transformation of Jewish communal life, fostered by stakeholders with distinct agendas and resources: empowered and politically emancipated Jewish Religious Communities, now-marginalized secular organizations of the communist era, a nascent generation of Polish Jewish activists and volunteers, and transnational Jewish non-governmental organizations.

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

  • Chapter 12: the Lone Star Republic
    RepublicThe of Te x a s 1836–1845 Why It Matters As you study Unit 4, you will learn about Texas as a republic. After the creation of the United States from the original 13 colonies, other territories were granted statehood. Only Texas entered the union as a separate and independent nation. The distinctive nature of Texas owes much to its having been a republic before it was a state and to the influence of its settlers. Primary Sources Library See pages 690–691 for primary source readings to accompany Unit 4. Going Visiting by Friedrich Richard Petri (c. 1853) from the Texas Memorial Museum, Austin, Texas. Socializing with neighbors was an important part of community life during the years of the republic. Not all Texas settlers wore buckskin and moccasins as this well-dressed family shows. 264 “Times here are easy… money plenty, the people much better satisfied.” —Dr. Ashbel Smith, December 22, 1837 GEOGRAPHY&HISTORY RICH HERITAGE There are many reasons why people take the big step of leaving their homes and moving to an unknown land— and Texas, during the years 1820 to 1860, witnessed all of them. The newly arriving immigrant groups tended to set- tle in one particular area, since it was easier to work with and live around people who spoke the same language and practiced the same customs. Many Mexicans came north while Texas was still a Spanish territory to set up farms on the fertile Coastal Plains.

  • 609 the History of the Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument Phenomenon in Canada I. Introduction
    THE ORGANIZED PSEUDOLEGAL COMMERCIAL ARGUMENT PHENOMENON 609 THE HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZED PSEUDOLEGAL COMMERCIAL ARGUMENT PHENOMENON IN CANADA DONALD J. NETOLITZKY* This article discusses the history of the poorly understood Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments (OPCA) phenomena. Drawing from various reported and unreported sources, the author begins his review in the 1950s with two distinct pseudolegal traditions that evolved separately in both the United States and Canada. Focusing on the prominent members of each era of the OPCA movement, the author explains in depth the concepts behind the movement and what it means for the legal system in Canada today. The article culminates with an analysis of the current OPCA groups and how Canadian courts should respond to future OPCA litigants, while also giving reasons as to why it is important for Canadians to take notice of this movement due to potential security risks.

  • Can an Entire Town Move Back from the Sea? by Ruxandra Guidi
    PRISON STRIKES | CONSPIRACY AND CHAOS | NAVAJO POLICE ACADEMY High Country ForN people whoews care about the West Nature Retreat Can an entire town move back from the sea? October 15, 2018 | $5 | Vol. 50 No. 17 | www.hcn.org 17 50 No. | $5 Vol. 2018 15, October By Ruxandra Guidi CONTENTS Editor’s note On covering the myriad Wests In this issue of the magazine, we honor the life and work of Ed Marston, the longtime publisher of High Country News, who died in August from complications of West Nile virus. Needless to say, this has been a reflective few weeks for all of us. Ed, who retired from the magazine in 2002, had a powerful vision for the rural West, one that included both conservation and compromise, especially over the shared natural resources of the public lands. Over the years, HCN has remained true to that vision — in part. But the magazine has also pushed into other facets of the West to tell its ongoing story. We, the editors and writers, have deliberately brought more voices into the conversation, especially from communities typically excluded from it. (Not everyone agrees with this approach, and this issue includes a letter from a reader who will no longer subscribe to HCN.) The truth is, the West is more than ranchers and High seas in March 2014 reached the iconic surfer statue at the end of Palm Avenue loggers and miners. It is more than recreationists in Imperial Beach, California. SErgE DEDINA and environmentalists — whatever that word FEATURE means. It is a complicated, contradictory place, where militiamen prowl the southern borders and a grieving orca carries the corpse of her dead calf for 12 Nature Retreat 17 days.
