Ry� The Harper Anthology of Academic Writing Issue IX 1997 William Rainey Harper College T h e Harper Anthology Human language has the potential to be insensitive, ugly, even brutish. And yet we want to think, too, Foreword that Aristotle was right, that words are indeed what set human beings apart from the balance of the ani­ mal kingdom. We want to trust that just around the corner from the vulgar phrase lurks a sentence that resonates with ravishing poetry. We hope, as we pass ungraspable utterances, that we will come upon the sounds of words that are clear, frank, and true. The HarperAnt hology Selection Committee is determined and optimistic about unearthing lan­ guage that possesses clarity, frankness, and truth; we believe that human beings will, in obedience to cer­ tain internal impulses, fashion words uniquely and express themselves transparently, sometimes beauti­ fully. Most of all, we believe that good writing­ poetic, lyrical, illustrative, substantive, altogether soulful writing-is perennial, like baseball.

Allah said: 'I know that which you do not know.' Allah taught Adam all the names of everything, then He showed them to the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." They (angels) said: "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us.

KWANG-CHIH CHANG KWANG-CHIH KWANG–CHIH CHANG April 15, 1931–January 3, 2001 BY ROBERT E. MUROWCHICK FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS Kwang-chih Chang bridged East and West with his scholarship serving as the main doorway through which Western scholars and students could approach the archaeology of ancient China as that country moved 1 from isolation to full international collaboration in the study of its past. With a modest smile and well-known aversion to pretentiousness, Chang transformed our understanding of early Chinese and East Asian history by integrating tradi- tional historiography with American anthropological archaeology, and by using Asian data to challenge long-held Western ideas about the rise of agriculture, urbanism, and kingship. Chang’s introduction of interdisciplinary field methods in his excavations in Taiwan brought new understanding of cultural and envi- ronmental change. The bonds he forged with mainland scholars helped pave the way for the new era of international cooperation in Chinese fieldwork we see today. Chang was a student of many of the giants in the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology, and he in turn trained multiple generations of students who carry forward both his research interests and his love for teaching. wang-chih Chang, to study at National Beiping or “K.C.” as he was Normal University and to write known among his bai hua poetry and essays.

  • January 2000 Update
    January 2000 Update Five boys packed their meager belongings into backpacks and cardboard boxes and moved into the Micah Project this week. For us, it was an answer to many months of prayer as well as the beginning of a challenging new experience. The boys folded their clothes into the chest-of-drawers and arranged stuffed animals and action-figures on their bookshelves. Each one arranged their blankets and towels and sheets a little differently on their beds to match their personal styles. Excitement and possibility were palpable as the Micah Project transformed from a house into a home. Yet even from the first night, it was evident that the Micah Project is much more than beds and furnishings and a place to live. Before our first dinner, we gathered around the kitchen table holding hands. The boys thanked our Lord for bringing them into the project; at the same time, they prayed for their families and for the children who are still on the streets here in Honduras. (Above: the Micah boys, along with Roger and Michael, in their new home!) Between bites of beans and fried bananas, we began a tradition that we hope will last as long as the Micah Project itself--a daily time of reflection and discussion. This first time focused on the word “Emmanuel—God with us.” We talked about the character of God and what it means to have the Holy Spirit indwelling within us. That led to a conversation about what it means to be light in this world. Marvin talked about a movie he saw recently about a gang member who became a Christian and started a ministry to other gang members.

  • TRUE to LIFE a Publication of Evangelical Child & Family Agency
    Summer 2018 TRUE TO LIFE A publication of Evangelical Child & Family Agency ECFA Ablaze! Over the Memorial Day weekend a devastating fire broke out at ECFA’s office building in Wheaton. The fire inspectors determined that it was caused by an electrical failure in the wiring above the ceiling of the children’s playroom. The building was engulfed in flames and severely damaged by fire, smoke, and water. At the very least, it will need to be completely gutted and restored, which is expected to take several months to a year. We are most thankful that no one was injured in the fire. ECFA’s staff has been temporarily relocated to two different offices; one at 213 W. Wesley Street, Wheaton, and the other at 4614 Main Street, Lisle, Illinois. The agency’s insurance carrier is expected to cover some of the costs to restore the building and replace items lost in the fire. However, an undetermined amount of expense will be the responsibility of ECFA. The apostle Paul says in Romans 8:28, “And we know in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (NIV). With God’s help, ECFA’s services are continuing through these very challenging times. Our staff members are adjusting well to their new working situation and we have been fortunate to receive many donated items that have helped us carry on our work. We are especially grateful for Glenn Kosirog who is providing us space in his building in downtown Wheaton.
