  • Pennsylvania Female College in Harrisburg
    Papers Relating to Harrisburg Women At first glance this section might appear to be papers written by women of Harrisburg – but in the English tradition the Christian name Beverly was employed for males. Accordingly, the first author, Beverly R. Waugh, was not a female – in fact he named his daughter Beverlina, which was then the accepted feminized form of the name. In truth, Beverly R. Waugh is the collector and not the author of the articles presented in the first paper. The material reproduced in this volume of The Chronicle has been selected from a scrapbook kept by Mr. Waugh during his tenure as principal of Pennsylvania Female College in Harrisburg. While the scrapbook likely remained in the possession of Mrs. Waugh until her death in 1908, no one can account for its whereabouts for almost 100 years. It was purchased by the conference archives last year from a Camp Hill antiques dealer, who had recently acquired it from a collector of local memorabilia – in whose Harrisburg attic it had been stored for some unknown period of time. Hidden between the lines of the articles is a most revealing picture of the place of females in mid nineteenth century America. Following the lead article that paints a broad picture, the remaining papers present in chronological order more detailed examinations of particular Harrisburg females and their Methodist involvements. Each is based on a document housed in the conference archives. Taken together they lead the reader on a journey through the eyes of area females from the days of the earliest circuit rider to the modern era.

    John Steinbeck Authors and Artists for Young Adults, 1994 Updated: July 19, 2004 Born: February 27, 1902 in Salinas, California, United States Died: December 20, 1968 in New York, New York, United States Other Names: Steinbeck, John Ernst, Jr.; Glasscock, Amnesia Nationality: American Occupation: Writer Writer. Had been variously employed as a hod carrier, fruit picker, ranch hand, apprentice painter, laboratory assistant, caretaker, surveyor, and reporter. Special writer for the United States Army during World War II. Foreign correspondent in North Africa and Italy for New York Herald Tribune, 1943; correspondent in Vietnam for Newsday, 1966-67. General Literature Gold Medal, Commonwealth Club of California, 1936, for Tortilla Flat, 1937, for novel Of Mice and Men, and 1940, for The Grapes of Wrath; New York Drama Critics Circle Award, 1938, for play Of Mice and Men; Academy Award nomination for best original story, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 1944, for "Lifeboat," and 1945, for "A Medal for Benny"; Nobel Prize for literature, 1962; Paperback of the Year Award, Marketing Bestsellers, 1964, for Travels with Charley: In Search of America. Addresses: Contact: McIntosh & Otis, Inc., 310 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10017. "I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature." With this declaration, John Steinbeck accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962, becoming only the fifth American to receive one of the most prestigious awards in writing. In announcing the award, Nobel committee chair Anders Osterling, quoted in the Dictionary of Literary Biography Documentary Series, described Steinbeck as "an independent expounder of the truth with an unbiased instinct for what is genuinely American, be it good or ill." This was a reputation the author had earned in a long and distinguished career that produced some of the twentieth century's most acclaimed and popular novels.

Among other projects, he co-composed the richly dramatic score for the cult-documentary film Trinity and Beyond, and has won acclaim for efforts to rescue, restore and re-record lost film scores from the past. William Stromberg A veteran film composer, conductor and film archivist, William Stromberg, working with famed film music reconstructionist and composer John Morgan, has conducted numerous albums of film music for RCA, Naxos, Marco Polo and, most recently, Tribute Film Classics. Upcoming albums include the complete scores to Bernard Herrmann’s Mysterious Island, Max Steiner’s She and Herrmann’s The Kentuckian. Moscow Symphony Orchestra Founded in 1989 as the first independent orchestra in modern Russia, the Moscow Symphony Orchestra maintains a busy schedule both in the concert hall and recording studio. For more than a decade, it has become noted for its pivotal role in a long-running series of recordings devoted to classic film scores conducted by Hollywood composer William Stromberg. Their most recent collaboration was the complete film score for Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s The Sea Hawk (Naxos 8.570110-11).
