Book Description
Excerpt from Address on the Culture Demanded by the Age Especially is this the case with those studies which address themselves in any sense to the imagination. There is scarcely any enjoyment in life comparable to the refined and elevating pleasure, which accompanies these early exercises of the mental powers. All the freshness of this peculiar happiness these associations are powerful to recall; and though each period of life, even on to the extremest age, has its own privileges and its own mission in the adorning and perfecting of character, yet this period, when we were nurtured by this august mother of us all, must, in our recollection of it, ever thrill and animate our hearts. We realize in the happy retrospect the fulfilment of the prophecy, so familiar in our college days - "Hæc olim memiuisse juvabit." Of this our venerable Alma Mater we may well be proud, and rejoice that we are permitted to number ourselves among her sons. For more than a century she has been the prolific and faithful parent of a progeny of large-hearted and large-minded men. We cannot examine our family record as her Alumni, without feeling what a privilege it is to be numbered as brethren with so many of those she is proud to call her sons. I cannot speak of the living, though the thought of them is vivid in my mind. I rejoice in the young men whom she has reared; and who, under the influence of her wise culture, are prepared to discharge the mission to which educated men are called in this wonderful age.

Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight
Author: Eric AvilaPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520248112
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
"In Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight, Eric Avila offers a unique argument about the restructuring of urban space in the two decades following World War II and the role played by new suburban spaces in dramatically transforming the political culture of the United States. Avila's work helps us see how and why the postwar suburb produced the political culture of 'balanced budget conservatism' that is now the dominant force in politics, how the eclipse of the New Deal since the 1970s represents not only a change of views but also an alteration of spaces."—George Lipsitz, author of The Possessive Investment in Whiteness
Silencing Gender, Age, Ethnicity and Cultural Biases in Leadership
Author: Camilla A. MontoyaPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0761870695
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Silencing Gender, Age, Ethnicity and Cultural Biases in Leadership is an edited volume containing eight chapters, each a real-life account from a Latina in a leadership position in the United States. These women discuss how their professional goals may conflict with their culture’s expectations for them, and they describe the complexity of life choices for Latinas in the workplace, including their struggles in challenging such social assumptions. Although some of the contributors come from Latin American countries and others were born in the United States, all eight women share similar backgrounds in regards to gender, age, ethnicity, or other forms of cultural biases they have encountered in both their professional and social experiences. The theme presented in this book is extremely relevant to the modern workplace—not only where men and women of different ages, ethnic, and religious backgrounds come together, attempting to be effective in their professional setting, but also where biases that try to silence minorities still prevail. This book is not a compilation of victimizing stories; on the contrary, it serves as a statement of success despite adversities.
The Cultural Crisis of the Danish Golden Age
Author: Jon StewartPublisher: Museum Tusculanum Press
ISBN: 8763542692
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The Danish Golden Age of the first half of the nineteenth century endured in the midst of a number of different kinds of crisis — political, economic, and cultural. The many changes of the period made it a dynamic time, one in which artists, poets, philosophers, and religious thinkers were constantly reassessing their place in society. This book traces the different aspects of the cultural crisis of the period through a series of case studies of key figures, including Johan Ludvig Heiberg, Hans Lassen Martensen, and Søren Kierkegaard. Far from just a historical analysis, however, the book shows that many of the key questions that Danish society wrestled with during the Golden Age remain strikingly familiar today. Jon Stewart is associate professor at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre at the University of Copenhagen.
