BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Kenneth Allan Caldwell Elliott was born in Kimberly, South Africa, on August 24th, 1903. He attended Christian Brothers’ College, Kimberley (1909-1916), and St. Andrews College, Grahamstown (1917-1920). He attended Rhodes University College, South Africa (1921-1924), where he obtained a B.Sc. (1923) and M.Sc. (1924). From 1926 to 1933, Elliott studied at Selwyn College, Cambridge University, where he received a Ph.D. in 1930 and later a Sc.D. in 1950. From 1926 to 1933, Dr. Elliott did research in chemistry and biochemistry. In 1933, Dr. Elliott began his association with the University of Pennsylvania where he was engaged as a biochemist until 1939. The next five years were spent working on brain research at the Psychiatric Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital. Dr. Elliott’s employment at the Montreal Institute Neurological as a neurochemist began in 1944 and continued until 1965. He was also a professor (1958-1971) and chairman of the Biochemistry Department, at McGill University (1958-1968). In 1973, Dr. Elliott became Emeritus Professor of McGill University. Dr. Elliott died in Montreal on April 28, 1986. CUSTODIAL HISTORY: The fonds was transferred to the Osler Library from the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1986. This was part of accession 864. SCOPE AND CONTENT: The fonds illustrates Dr. Elliott’s work as a neurochemist and consists of correspondence, letters, articles, newspaper clippings, photographs, slides, research material and notes, course material, manuscripts, typescripts. The fonds is divided into seven (7) series: A) Research Notebooks, 1927-1957; B) GABA Studies, 1957; C) Correspondence – American, Canadian, British and South African associations of Scientific Workers, 1929-1982; D) Correspondence, 1944-1986; E) Teaching files, 1903-1982; F) Slides used for neurochemistry lectures, 193?-1963; G) Other visual items, 1920-1968.

Some of this research was collaborative. Most of the series comprises research relating to the study of brain trauma as a result of head injury or neurosurgery. This series is divided into three (3) sub-series: A-1) Research (experiment) notebooks, 1927-1933; A-2) Research (experiment) notebooks, 1933-1949; A-3) Research (experiment) notebooks, 1944-1957; Sub-series A-1 contains experiment notebooks from the Chemistry Laboratory, Cambridge, concerning the study of stereochemistry. Of special relevance are the experiments pertaining to the optical activity caused by the restriction of the rotation of a trivalent nitrogen atom. It includes material produced at the Sir William Dunn Institute of Biochemistry related to oxidation reduction systems with particular relevance to the reduction of glutathione and the study of peroxidases in milk and horseradishes. This sub- series is comprised of 4 files (files no. 1 to 4), which are arranged chronologically. Sub-series A-2 contains experiment notebooks from the Graduate School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, concerning the measurement of peroxidase activity of animal tissues, the activity of the “succinoxidase system” and the effects of redox indicator dyes on metabolism. Includes experiments related to the aerobic and anaerobic metabolism of glucose, lactate, pyruvate and succinate by slices of tumor tissues using manometric, analytical and isolation procedures.

  • Lonergan Workshop, Vol. 9
    LONERGAN WORKSHOP Volume 9 LONERGAN WORKSHOP Volume 9 edited by Fred Lawrence Copyright © 1993 Boston College ISSN 0148-2009 Printed in the United States of America on acid-free paper EDITORIAL NOTE After the 30th anniversary of Insight we tried focusing the theme of each summer's Lonergan Workshop on some work by Lonergan. The article "Mission and Spirit" supplied the theme for many of the articles in this volume. Not surprisingly, though, both the authors included in this volume and its editor have used it as an umbrella for a wide array of issues and concerns. The most obvious case of editorial initiative in this regard is the inclusion of a paper not originally delivered at a summer workshop, by long-time friend of Lonergan studies and cultivator of Lonergan's thought, James Pambrun. His paper on the relationship between science and theology compares Lonergan's approach with that of Paul Ricoeur. Its appearance here is due in part to our need to bring Lonergan's perspectives more into conversation with those of other thinkers prominent on today's scene. Eduardo Perez-Valera, 5J contributes a paper that grows out of years of labor on the concrete integration of the foundations of spiritual direction in the Ignatian tradition and the foundations of humane science. The realization that the pure and unrestricted desire to know is closely related to the biblical 'purity of heart' is reinforced in this paper's meditation on the theme of "prayer with the whole heart." The utterly existential motivation of Perez-Valera's article sounds forth again in Nancy Ring's grapple with spirituality in the context of the overall issue of the spirituality of women.

  • The Origins of Lonergan's Notion of the Dialectic of History 2
    1 ___________________________________________________ FOUNDATIONS The primary purpose in this chapter is to provide the background context for understanding the origins of Lonergan's notion of the dialectic of history. This requires two related tasks: we need to investigate the historical context which Lonergan addresses and we need to consider the foundational elements which inform his approach to the dialectic of history. Lonergan's own understanding of the three plateaus of history or three stages of meaning provides us with a valuable tool for approaching the first task. Fundamental to the second task is Lonergan's appropriation of the operational dynamics of human subject. These operational dynamics include his account of human cognition and its development, his understanding of the basic tensions, which constitute the human subject, the communal basis of the developing subject, and the structure of free choice. After considering these basic elements we are then properly prepared to consider the key heuristic notion of dialectic. 1 .1 The Historical Situation Eric Voegelin has maintained that the historical dynamic of human living is universally experienced in consciousness. Lonergan has spoken, in like manner, of the experience of the psychological present which "reaches into its past by memories and into its future by anticipations."1 If the experience of this dimension is universal, and it would be difficult to deny this, then at least at some level there has always been a consciousness of a historical dimension to human living. Still this elemental experience may be variously differentiated in human consciousness and so reflection on the movement and direction of history differs according to the degree of differentiation.
