Hardly The Best Of Times The Practice Of Medicine On The Maine Frontier, 1812-1841, John D. Blaisdell
Hardly The Best Of Times The Practice Of Medicine On The Maine Frontier, 1812-1841, John D. Blaisdell
Maine History
Account books left by two physicians provide a glimpse of the practice of medicine on the eastern Maine frontier. They reveal some interesting patterns: Both doctors practiced some dentistry, delivered babies, and engaged in sidelines outside their medical practice. Both vaccinated patients in the face of impending epidemics, and both treated internal afflictions using standard nineteenth-century medical therapeutics. Sometimes doctors did more harm than good, but even in this short span of time we can see progress on the medical frontier.

Jeremiah P. Hardy’S The Smelt Seller Genre Painting In Bangor, Molly Mulhern Gross
Maine History
As a painter of portraits and genre studies, Jeremiah P. Hardy was a sensitive barometer of Bangor’s cultural aspirations. During his career, which spanned sixty-two years, he painted hundreds of portraits, then shifted to genre painting a course reflecting both national trends and the altered meanings of gentility in Bangor. In this article, Molly Mulhern Gross provides other reasons for Hardy’s mid-career change and explains why The Smelt Seller might have appealed to its cultured viewers. Ms. Mulhern Gross met The Smelt Seller while working as a research associate at the Farnsworth Art Museum in 1992. Her research was part …

Let's talk about the Safe Zone. Let's talk about the creation of a ten room, single occupancy wing which is open to heterosexuals, allies, gays, lesbians, bisexual, transgendered, as well as thos who "haven't quite self-identified as…" Let's be realistic, the Safe Zone, as proposed, will not come close to housing every gay and lesbian on the University of Maine campus, nor is that its attempt.

A Sanctuary From Intolerance, Guy L. Gerbick
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
I appreciate Michael Lane's column "Sensitivity U." in the Feb. 12, 1996 edition of the Maine Campus. His points are frequently well researched and written, though I frequently disagree with his interpretations of events. Such is the case with his views on the residence hall Safe Zone for lesbian, gay, bisexual students and their allies. Contrary to his anticipation, I do not consider him a homophobe, I support his freedom to speak his mind. I also think his understanding of the experience of lesbian, gays, and bisexuals and the First Amendment could be better informed.

This week is National Condom Week, so I'd like to focus today's column on condoms, to get you thinking about the issue. Let me start off by saying: Vows of abstinence break far more often than condoms do. Having said that, I would like to point out that the simple truth is that, for sexually active couples, condoms are the best means we have of preventing HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

The recent ruling by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has, as do all courts of law worthy of the name, laid down the law in what inevitablely will be a very emotional and drawn out struggle. While Indian tribes across the nation scrample to erect casinos under the auspices of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, Maine's own Passamaquoddy Time saw their proposal to build a casino in Calais, shot down on grounds that it is illegal.

The Right View. Sensitivity U, Michael L. Lane
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Last week's announcement of a new dormitory wing reserved for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals is not particularly interesting. It came as no surprise that the university, concerned more with sensitivity than education, would forge ahead with such a reckless plan. Many would prefer to ignore the issue. However, as a supposed voice of the reactionary social policy, I feel that this decision, indeed the university's stance of anti-discriminatory education, is worthy of comment.
