Late Bloom In The Desert: The East Asian Library Collection And Services At Arizona State University, Ai-Hwa Wu Dec 1993

Late Bloom In The Desert: The East Asian Library Collection And Services At Arizona State University, Ai-Hwa Wu

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Unlike the majority of East Asian library collections which were established with the full support and well thought-out plans from the library administration, the East Asian collection at ASU started in 1968 with a somewhat make-do arrangement. There was no librarian hired or designated to take charge of the basic library functions of East Asian language materials; the cataloging responsibility for these materials was added to the duties of a catalog librarian who happened to have a Chinese language background and was given an assistant who knew the Japanese and Korean languages.


A Branch Apart: East Asian Collections In A Research Library Context, Diane E. Perushek Dec 1993

A Branch Apart: East Asian Collections In A Research Library Context, Diane E. Perushek

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Much has been written in library literature of late about access and ownership and how libraries should respond organizationally to the new role libraries are developing to meet the dual challenges of pervasive information technology and reduced budgets. There are repeated calls for libraries to give customized service, be intimately aware of users' needs and deliver documents at the point of use. In an article on the efficacy of branch libraries entitled "Organization Misfits," it is posited that departmental (or "branch") libraries, due to their size and flexibility, can provide models for this type of service with little change to …

The Founding Of The Harvard-Yenching Library, Eugene W. Wu Dec 1993

The Founding Of The Harvard-Yenching Library, Eugene W. Wu

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Three separate events, spanning almost half a century, made possible the creation of an East Asian collection at Harvard which was to develop into a preeminent library for East Asian research in the West. They were the introduction of Chinese in Harvard's curriculum in 1879, the decision of A. Kaiming Chiu to come to Harvard for graduate study in 1925, and the establishment of the Harvard-Yenching Institute in 1928.

Elizabeth Seton: Her World And Her Church, Judith Metz S.C. Oct 1993

Elizabeth Seton: Her World And Her Church, Judith Metz S.C.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

The first part of this article gives the political, social, economic, and religious context of the world in which Elizabeth Seton lived. The second part describes the establishment and work of the Sisters of Charity. Education for all was important to early Americans, largely because everyone was supposed to read the Bible. Women had more agency than their European counterparts, although their influence was still mostly confined to the home. They were charged with instilling morality in children, and through them, in society in general. This was reflected in the curriculum of Elizabeth Seton’s school, Saint Joseph’s Academy. The outlook …


Some Aspects Of Elizabeth Seton's Spiritual/Theological World, Kathleen Flanagan S.C. Oct 1993

Some Aspects Of Elizabeth Seton's Spiritual/Theological World, Kathleen Flanagan S.C.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Elizabeth Seton was influenced by three men: John Henry Hobart, an Episcopalian minister; Louis William Dubourg, a powerful Sulpician; and John Carroll, the bishop of Baltimore. Hobart represented minority views even within his own church because he was “High Church”— he believed in the importance of the episcopacy and of the sacraments. He inspired Elizabeth and strengthened her scriptural and sacramental piety. He provided readings that made her reason her decision about which church to belong to, although she did not rely on reason alone. Dubourg suggested that Elizabeth move to Baltimore, was highly instrumental in establishing Saint Joseph’s Academy, …


The Woman Elizabeth Bayley Seton, 1793–1803, Marilyn Thei S.C. Oct 1993

The Woman Elizabeth Bayley Seton, 1793–1803, Marilyn Thei S.C.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Marilyn Thei’s highly detailed article examines Elizabeth Seton “within the context of her world, amidst life in late eighteenth-century New York City as experienced by women of her class, race, and age.” Thei uses the writing of Elizabeth and her peers as well as sources of feminist scholarship to do this. Elizabeth’s life is often contrasted with lives of women from other races and classes. The topics covered include the extent of Elizabeth’s engagement with the world of fashion and entertainment, the nature of her relationships with her husband and with her dearest friend, her experience of motherhood, her role …


The Changing Significance Of Race For People Of Color, Juanita Tamayo Lott Sep 1993

The Changing Significance Of Race For People Of Color, Juanita Tamayo Lott

Trotter Review

For more than two hundred years, race in the United States has been viewed as a black/white issue. Blacks have been defined not as a people unto themselves, but only in relationship to whites. This relationship is one of power with blacks as a “minority subordinate” group and whites as a “majority dominant” group. Other people of color—whether indigenous to the Americas, settlers who predated Western Europeans, nonwhite settlers with several generations of U.S.-born residents, or newly arrived immigrants and refugees—have been primarily defined as nonexistent. When other people of color have been recognized, it has been in a marginal …

The Vincentian Mission From Paris To The Mississippi: The American Sisters Of Charity, Ellin Kelly Apr 1993

The Vincentian Mission From Paris To The Mississippi: The American Sisters Of Charity, Ellin Kelly

Vincentian Heritage Journal

With minor alterations, the Rule of the Daughters of Charity was established as the Rule for the Sisters of Charity in 1812. The adoption of the Rule by Sisters of Charity in other places is described. The Emmitsburg Sisters of Charity and the Daughters of Charity were united in 1850. Some sisters did not accept the union and founded new communities elsewhere. In 1828, the Sisters of Charity arrived in St. Louis to begin the first Catholic hospital in the United States. The history of their work there and in Mullanphy Hospital is recounted. They cared for patients during cholera …

Vincentian Pioneers Of The Mississippi Valley (1818–1900), Dennis P. Mccann

Vincentian Heritage Journal

This article pertains to an exhibit at DePaul University’s library that was meant to educate people about DePaul’s Vincentian identity. Dennis McCann discusses the history of the Congregation and of the Daughters of Charity in the United States and explains what the items in the exhibit reveal about that history. There are twelve groups of objects with themes that include: the Congregation’s early mission in the United States, the linkage of the American mission with its French Vincentian Heritage, Vincentian iconography, life at Saint Mary of the Barrens, the history of the Basilica of Saint Louis (Old Cathedral), the institutions …


"A Brave New World": The Vincentians In Pioneer America, Stafford Poole C.M. Apr 1993

"A Brave New World": The Vincentians In Pioneer America, Stafford Poole C.M.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

This article discusses the Vincentian mission in the United States from 1816 to the Civil War. The Vincentians came to America at the behest of the first bishop of Louisiana for the purpose of founding a seminary and giving local or parish missions. The history of Saint Mary’s Seminary is recounted. Until 1843, it was the Vincentians’ only canonical house in the United States and served many functions. After the mission became a province in 1835, the Vincentians were offered the direction of almost all the American diocesan seminaries, although this did not last. The Vincentians tried to give missions, …


Challenge To Missionaries: The Religious Worlds Of New France, Daniel A. Scalberg Apr 1993

Challenge To Missionaries: The Religious Worlds Of New France, Daniel A. Scalberg

Vincentian Heritage Journal

In the eighteenth century, huge numbers of coureurs de bois, illegal French fur traders, selectively engaged in elements of indigenous peoples’ practices and even combined them with certain Christian rituals. They did this to foster trading relationships with the indigenous peoples who controlled the land. For their part, these peoples used intermarriage and other religious rituals to integrate the French into their societies. Contrary to missionaries’ complaints, these French did not lack religion, but their understanding of it was certainly different from the clergy’s. The coureurs de bois were not interested in “establishing a Church under the highest ideals …


Three Pioneer Vincentians, John E. Rybolt C.M., Ph.D. Apr 1993

Three Pioneer Vincentians, John E. Rybolt C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

The lives and contributions of Felix De Andreis, Joseph Rosati, and John Timon are described. De Andreis was the Congregation’s first superior in America. He traveled extensively in his ministry to American Catholics, taught seminarians, and began the novitiate. Rosati began Saint Mary’s Seminary and became the first bishop of St. Louis. To name just a few of his projects as bishop, he built a cathedral, brought the Sisters of Charity to St. Louis, and advocated their union with the Daughters of Charity. History is indebted to him for his careful records. The Congregation achieved national prominence thanks to him. …


New Evangelization, New Communities—1930s Style, Anthony J. Dosen C.M. Apr 1993

New Evangelization, New Communities—1930s Style, Anthony J. Dosen C.M.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

After anti-Catholic bigotry surfaced during the American presidential campaigns of the 1920s, three Vincentian priests founded the Motor Missions in Missouri in 1935. They traveled to small towns, asking permission to address the people and explain Catholicism. A popular feature of the missions was the question box through which queries about the faith could be posed anonymously. The article gives many examples of questions that were submitted to show the ignorance and misunderstanding that prevailed at the time, but they also show people’s desire to learn about Catholicism. The staffing and effects of the Motor Missions are described.
