08_日軍侵港與聖士提反書院, Guopei Chen

專題講座

1941年12月8日，日軍渡過深圳河正式向香港發動侵略戰。至平安夜，日軍攻至英軍在港島南端最後的一個據點—赤柱，兩軍爆發激戰。最終港督楊慕奇在聖誕日宣佈投降，為香港三年零八個月的艱苦歲月正式揭開了序幕。現時赤柱仍遺下不少日軍侵略及管治的遺址，其中設於聖士堤反書院內的文物徑更為這段歷史保留了甚為珍貴的文化財產。

The Jacksonian Conservatism Of Rufus P. Ranney The Politics And Jurisprudence Of A Northern Democrat From The Age Of Jackson To The Gilded Age, David M. Gold

Ohio University Press Open Access Books

Ohio’s Rufus P. Ranney embodied many of the most intriguing social and political tensions of his time. He was an anticorporate campaigner who became John D. Rockefeller’s favorite lawyer. A student and law partner of abolitionist Benjamin F. Wade, Ranney acquired an antislavery reputation and recruited troops for the Union army; but as a Democratic candidate for governor he denied the power of Congress to restrict slavery in the territories, and during the Civil War and Reconstruction he condemned Republican policies.

Ranney was a key delegate at Ohio’s second constitutional convention and a two-time justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. …

Eternal Perspectives In Nineteenth-Century Friendship Albums, Jenifer Blouin

The Hilltop Review

It is apparent through the inscriptions made in nineteenth-century friendship albums that the young women who wrote in and owned the albums were highly concerned with eternity, with things they believed would last forever. This preoccupation with eternity raises the question of how young women in the nineteenth century related to time and to religion, both of which are inherently concerned with eternity. These topics will therefore be addressed in brief discussions of how nineteenth-century conceptions of time and the Second Great Awakening affected young women. This will be followed by an examination of the friendship album verses themselves, which …
