The Silent Witness Finding Aid

To Lecture Or Not To Lecture: Engaged Teaching And Learning, Wayne Roosa, Jay Rasmussen

Faculty Development Publications

This video and companion paper discusses the lecture as a teaching tool and features Professor Wayne Roosa (Art History) as he reflects on reasons for using lectures, the thoughts and processes involved in lecture design, and techniques that have proven successful. In addition to viewing a lecture in a 300 level course, hear Wayne’s thoughts about dealing with “too much material and too little time,” facilitating learning apart from the lecture, and preventing student boredom and information overload. (video length 51:09)

From the introduction to the paper: The lecture mode is certain to be included in your repertoire as a …

Throwing Down The Gauntlet: Finding The Best Partnership For Fight Scene Work, T. Fulton Burns

Theatre Faculty Research

Over the past few years I have written my perspective on the Skills Proficiency Test process. Earlier this year I thought that my process was complete but then an issue continued to creep up in my mind over and over again. It was that I had not addressed how best to find a partner for one's scene work. The reason for finding a good partner relates to my first workshop in stage combat. Discovering with whom to partner and with whom not to partner for scene work was the most valuable lesson I learned. Rather than focusing upon the ones …

“Barbarous Custom Of Dueling”: Death And Honor On St. Louis’ Bloody Island, Mark Alan Neels

The Confluence (2009-2020)

Neels argues that the Army Corps of Engineers inadvertently dealt the final death blow to dueling in the region when it eliminated “Bloody Island,” a sandbar in the Mississippi River which became a favorite venue for duels.

Trans-Atlantic Crossings- Past And Present, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

On September 24, 1992, my wife and I were waiting at one of the

finger docks at Zurich airport. As the president of the airport's former

building commission, I had come to know its plans intimately. But now I

was more interested in the feelings of those waiting for the transatlantic

flight. Or might 'feelings' be too strong a word for passengers leisurely

sprawling in their seats, reading or dozing as if they were riding to work

on one of Zurich's commuter trains?

Epprecht's Crossing, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

At Leo Schelbert's house in Evanston, Illinois, we looked through

those sources available at Leo's university library in which traces of the

Epprechts were most likely to be found. In the course of this process I

came across another Dorlikon ancestor, Ulrich Singer, a descendant of a

family doubly represented in the village's heraldic church window from

1685.

Columbus Day, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

On October 12 I drove out to the magnificent autumn forests

by Pennsylvania. I chose highway 22, a route I had been familiar

with since the days at Lehigh University. Once more I was struck

by the speed and the distances mastered nowadays. Unlike us, the

Dorlikon emigrants had measured the distances they covered by the

hour. Carolina, for example, was '2200 hours on sea' from Rotterdam.

In order really to appreciate our modern standards of living, one has

to visualize what since then pioneers have achieved in America- not

only the independence from the British Crown, but also the …

Second Harvest, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

We both felt that in order to compare our findings we ought to get together. Unfortunately, Mrs. Ebright's husband was in New York for two days, but she agreed to meet me the following day, at Lancaster's Historical Archives. Working there, we discovered that Jacob had opened an inn. The next day we went over to the Lebanon County Historical Society Archives, for it was in that area that "Jacob Epprieht of Bethel Township in the Country of Lancaster" had acquired land for his inn (at that time the lay-out of the lots looked different from today). At these archives …

Second Harvest: The State Of Research 2007- An Update, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The author of this personal report did not stop research on his

native Dorlikon with the present volume, reedited unchanged. Questions

of local conditions and family relationships, economic limitations in the

17th and everyday life in the 18th century filled three more volumes (see

the concluding essay by Leo Schelbert). Additional light was shed on

the causes for emigration, and a second research trip to the USA in 1996

yielded many a missing puzzle stone towards the picture of the Dorlikon

emigrants. These new facts have been assembled here under the headings

of the emigrant families. Reference is made to …

Tweeting The Dalai Lama, Are Cell Phones Becoming The New Vajras?, Ronald S. Green

Philosophy and Religious Studies

On February 22, 2010 the Office of the 14th Dalai Lama joined the online microblogging site Twitter. Twitter is an internet based community, ranked the world’s third most used online social network by Compete.com. Members post messages called “tweets” that are displayed on to their profile pages and delivered to their subscribers, known as followers. The Dalai Lama reportedly joined Twitter after meeting the site’s founder, Evan Williams, although Mr. Williams posted on his own Twitter page that the Dalai Lama had laughed when he suggested the idea to him.1 However, the account may have been set up one week …

What They Brought: The Alta California Franciscans Before 1769, Rose Marie Beebe, Robert M. Senkewicz

History

For a long period beginning in the nineteenth century, historians of California generally characterized missionaries during the Spanish and Mexican eras in one of two ways: as heroic agents of civilization or nefarious purveyors of destruction. The heroic interpretation became dominant in works influenced by the Spanish Revival movement, and it was also evident in the writings of the great Franciscan historians Zephryn Engelhardt, Maynard J. Geiger, and Francis F. Guest, all of whom based their work on the trove of documents at the Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library. In the 1980s and 1990s, the nefarious interpretation became especially pronounced, due …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles As Tools For Deep-Submergence Archaeology, Christopher N. Roman, Ian Roderick Mather

Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications

Marine archaeology beyond the capabilities of scuba divers is a technologically enabled field. The tool suite includes ship-based systems such as towed side-scan sonars and remotely operated vehicles, and more recently free-swimming autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Each of these platforms has various imaging and mapping capabilities appropriate for specific scales and tasks. Broadly speaking, AUVs are becoming effective tools for locating, identifying, and surveying archaeological sites. This paper discusses the role of AUVs in this suite of tools, outlines some specific design criteria necessary to maximize their utility in the field, and presents directions for future developments. Results are presented …

Off To Carolina- No News From There, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

"In January 1743 the whole family emigrated to Carolina.

Thereafter no more news came to Dorlikon." With this footnote the

entries to Rudolf Eprecht's line in the Epprecht family chronicle

end. It touched me when, three decades ago, I received Reverend

Robert Epprecht's research work on the Epprecht family as a gift.

According to Reverend Epprecht's findings, other villagers from

Dorlikon had also left for Carolina, among whom a certain Conrad

Basler with his family. Did they ever reach the other side of the

Ocean? If so, where did they settle? And do these families still exist

today?

Off To Pennsylvania, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

After New York, my wife and I traveled on to Bethlehem,

Pennsylvania. We had long been invited to visit John and Nelda Fisher

there, old university friends of ours, and it was now that we finally complied.

'It looks greener and cleaner', was our first response to the town that

had become our second home and our daughter Susan's birthplace. The

fortunate change in the town's appearance seemed due to the 'Bethlehem

Steel Company', which had shrunk to a mere tenth of its original jobs.

Lehigh University, on the other hand, had grown in size-in particular its

research department for …
