English Pluralism as Cultural Definition: The Social and Political Thought of George Unwin

The pluralist movement in British political thought at the beginning of the twentieth century was marked by considerable internal tension.* Nevertheless, a salient common goal among its diverse adherents was to elevate society-conceived as an intricate web of voluntary organizations-against liberal individualism on the one hand and state collectivism on the other. Against claims as to the sovereignty of the individual in the first perspective and the state in the second, pluralist writers like F. W. Maitland, J. N. Figgis, H. J. Laski, and G. D. H. Cole emphasized the equal importance of group life to human fulfillment and social cohesion. Groups, they maintained, possessed their own corporate existence, irreducible to both their members and the concession of the state. As such, small associations must be regarded as the subject of inherent rights. In the light of these insistences, pluralism has offered rich pickings to political and legal theorists interested in delineating the respective spheres and ontological status of the individual, the voluntary association, and the state.' This is especially true today when growing concern over the

The Influence of Financial Measures on UK Railway Policy

ABSTRACTThis paper explores the tension between social and commercial criteria and the importance of the nature of available information in influencing policymaking towards commercial or quasi-commercial activities such as transport undertakings. The importance of financial criteria as key indicators which influence railway policy is established by reference to significant landmarks in the corporate existence of British Rail. An underlying conflict between this information and the declared policies of successive governments is exposed. This reveals that, not only are policy-makers constrained by the difficulties of providing more appropriate information, but they are also the victims of their own reluctance to implement effectively policies which would actually improve existing sources of information.

The twice-born: 'Christian psychiatry' and Christian psychiatrists.

This essay introduces Christian psychiatrists into the growing literature on Western psychiatry and biomedicine. It seeks to describe specific beliefs and practices of Christian psychiatrists as a means of examining the reality of an ascribed corporate existence, i.e., 'Christian Psychiatry'. Beliefs and practices examined here include conceptions of therapeutic relationships and processes, conceptions of Divinity, Explanatory Models, notions of the nature and sources of healing, self identity, and role relationships of Christian psychiatrists vis-à-vis patients and the wider society. The data suggest that there is no 'Christian Psychiatry', but only Christian psychiatrists. Implications for patient care and the cultural basis of ideology and practice in psychiatry are also discussed.

Indians in Los Angeles, 1781-1875: Economic Integration, Social Disintegration

As MEMBERS OF sociopolitical units not yet significantly damaged by white contact, Indians had their greatest impact on post-Columbian, North American history. Bands, lineages, villages, chiefdoms, and confederacies rendered decisions and implemented policies concerning the white intruders that sometimes were of crucial importance in shaping the histories of regions and localities. On occasion, however, Indians actively participated in the historical process as individuals whose traditional corporate existence had been disrupted by white contact. Indians in the Los Angeles region are a case in point.' Seeking work, Indians began drifting into the pueblo of Los Angeles almost from the day it was founded. Thus settlers and Indians quickly established an economic relationship that continued for nearly a century. Unfortunately, historians have

THE RESTORATION OF THE SCOTTISH CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN 1878

During the half-century from the Emancipation Act of 1829 to the Restoration of the Hierarchy in 1878, the Catholic Church in Scotland experienced changes more profound and more enduring than anything it had known since the unexpected triumph of the Calvinist faction in the sixteenth-century religious revolution. The emancipation legislation of 13 April 18291 had given to Scots Catholics, as well as to the Catholics of England, the security of a recognised place in the national life for their corporate existence, something which had been denied them for two and a half centuries and, in consequence, a new mood of optimism and expansion became apparent, which found expression in new churches, schools, religious orders, societies and institutions, a renewal of devotional and liturgical life and other manifestations of vitality. The large-scale development of the industrial belt which stretched across Scotland from the Clyde estuary to Angus, Fife and the Lothians, attracted men and women from the traditionally Catholic districts in the north-east, the north-west and the south-west of Scotland and, in vast numbers they came from across the Irish Sea. The geographical distribution and balance of Scottish Catholicism, which had remained largely unaltered for more than two centuries was now radically changed. The main centres of Catholic life in Scotland would

A Durkheimian Theory of "Witch-Hunts" with the Chinese Cultural Revolution of 1966-1969 as an Example

Ideas from Kai T. Erikson and Guy E. Swanson are brought together to account for the appearance of political witch-hunts like the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Erikson's idea of a boundary crisis and Swanson's notion of immanence are used to account for the highly religious overtones to these events. The American threat in Vietnam is identified as a threat to the Chinese and the purges and rectification campaigns of the Cultural Revolution are seen as Durkheimian efforts at reaffirming the collective identity of the Chinese nation. The idea of the sacred and the profane is shown to be similar to the notion of deviant and normal. Both, it is argued, are symbolic oppositions to collective purposes that are created by collectivities to renew their corporate existence.

Alcalá before Reform—the Decadence of a Spanish University

A FEW miles east of Madrid on the ambling Henares River lies the town of Alcala de Henares. South of the town the land rises into high bluffs that roll away toward Cuenca. To the north the land slopes gradually up to the Guadarrama Mountains. These fields, ouce covered with the dun villages and yellow wheat of New Castile, now hold an American air base and the expanding suburbs of a new Madrid. The old Alcala, somewhat isolated from the modern automobile highway by surviving remnants of a brick town wall, has sunny narrow streets and cool shade beneath the extended second stories of the houses, supported on worn stone posts in the old Castilian fashion. The Spanish paratroopers who crowd the streets and the casual travelers who chance to visit its monuments are, for the most part, little conscious that Alcala was once a town of importance. Not for numbers, for it was never large; nor was Alcala so fortunate as its neighbor, Madrid, which received the royal favor of Philip II and became the capital of Spain. Rather, Alcala was once the seat of a famous university that filled its streets and crowded its houses with students. Its narrow precincts were pressed outwards by many convents and colleges, its market place and shops busy selling bread and books, and its officers concerned with the acquiring and spending of ecclesiastical revenue. The University of Alcala was founded, amid the vaulting expectations of the sixteenth century and under the patronage of Cardinal Cisneros, to give Spain a great center of learning that would marry humanism and theology. Living up to its founder's expectations, it eventually became overburdened with laurels as a part of the Spanish establishment. Entrenched and enduring, proud and confident of its place, Alcala came, to look back over nearly three centuries of corporate existence and intellectual accomplishment. As the accidents of time and events shaped her institutions, she came to personify many aspects of Spain before the reinvigoration of the eighteenth century.

The Representation of the Poor in American Society: A Subjective Estimate of the Prospects of Democracy

After nearly ten years in which most of my practice as a lawyer has been among the indigent or those otherwise dispossessed or disowned by society, it has become impossible for me to think dispassionately or consider hypothetically or address academically the issues of the representation of the poor in politics and in the law in America. I suspect that there is, about these matters, no such thing as objectivity anyway; I know there is no option of neutrality about them. It would be pretentious for me to feign objectivity; it would amount to fraud to assert that I am neutral. Be cautioned, therefore, that in what follows I speak as a partisan-as someone with a definite viewpoint-though, in doing so, I trust, I thereby uphold the discipline of advocacy which is the venerable societal office of the lawyer. My viewpoint regarding the representation of the poor in society, especially in the realms of politics, legislation, administration of the law, and litigation, is, of course, informed by my own practice among the poor. No doubt every reader who is a lawyer is similarly positioned in relation to his own particular experience in practice, whatever it happens to be, whether he is specifically conscious of that or not, unless he be some mere legal mechanic who forbears to reflect as a human being upon the work he does every day. I am a Christian, moreover, which means that the focus of my attention in work, as well as everything else, is upon this world and the possibility and actuality in this world of mature human life in society. Biblically and empirically, the Christian concern is characteristically mundane, not spiritual. If there be preachers who none the less deny this world and vainly talk of other worlds or after lives, if there be ministers of institutional religion who spread a word that Christianity is bothered only with personalistic salvation and not with the corporate existence of mankindand there are legions of them-then they are either knaves or harlots: it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two. They had better read the Bible more avidly

The Idea of Party in the Writing of Later Stuart History

The most familiar view of party, and one held almost universally for a century and a half, sees a continuity in party history from the Whigs and Tories of Charles II's reign to the Liberals and Conservatives of Victoria's. This view received its classic expression at the hands of Macaulay, and with him it was a verdict arrived at before he even began The History of England and more than thirty years before he finished with it. In an election speech at Edinburgh in 1839 he proudly traced his Whig ancestry back to the Roundheads of the time of Charles I. In the opening section of the History he was more specific and selected a certain day in October of 1641 for the birth of the modern party system. “From that day,” he wrote, “dates the corporate existence of the two parties which have ever since alternately governed the country.”Macaulay was not the first historian to reach such a conclusion. Writing some twenty years earlier the Catholic John Lingard, in dealing with the 1678-1681 crisis over Exclusion of the Duke of York, wrote that “it was during this period that the appellations of Whig and Tory became permanently affixed to the two great political parties which for a century and a half [1680-1830] have divided the nation.” Even before the turn of the nineteenth century the same idea had been suggested by Thomas Somerville in his History of England which appeared in 1792.

The Individualism of the Fourth Gospel

than it is in the present climate of theology. For the'Liberal Protestant' frame of thought it was easy to recognise the kingship of God in each individual who accepted the will of God, but harder to grasp the idea of Christianity as incorporation by baptism into membership of the Body of Christ-a corporate existence, entered upon and maintained sacramentally and institutionally. It is one of the results of the revival of 'biblical theology' that, of the two, the latter emphasis-the corporate and the sacramental--has come to be widely recognised as closer to the roots of authentic Christianity. But this recovery of a theology of the Church has tended to swing the pendulum too far, sometimes actually to distort the picture and to engender an unwarranted suspicion of anything that sounds 'individualistic'. The famous Lucan saying (Lk. xvii 21) about the kingdom of God being ivTO;q utCov is today generally so interpreted as to rescue it from the unacceptable inward and individual sense; or, if there were an acceptable alternative today, it might be to blame 'Luke the Hellene' for introducing an alien individualism into the doctrine of the kingdom. It is almost a slur on a biblical writer-or else on his expositor-if an individualistic note is detected. That may be a caricature of the situation. But if it contains even a modicum of truth, then perhaps it is not untimely to enter a plea for a reappraisal of the Johannine outlook in this particular respect. To that end I offer this essay, uncertain whether it will meet with approval from the distinguished scholar in whose honour it is presented; certain only that I am deeply indebted to him, both for warm personal friendship when I stayed at Erlangen in I952, and for all that I have learnt from the publications he has generously presented to me, including a copy of his important Theologie des

Anniversary dinner 1957

Lord President, Your Excellencies, Mr Mayor, My Lord Mayor, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the Fellows I must thank the Lord President very warmly for proposing the toast of the Society. He has done so in such terms that it would seem to be my duty to say something about our activities in a way which provides a visible justification for his generous tribute. This is not quite so easy as it might appear. Not, let me hasten to add, because I think the Society need have an uneasy conscience about the matter, but because its activities are so varied and so much the sum total of innumerable and diverse individual contributions from the Fellows, who work separately and in ever varying permutations and combinations, while retaining, we all hope and believe, a strong corporate feeling. But our corporate existence is not organized and regimented in any very precise way. We could never be a trade union, or a pressure group, or even an arbitration tribunal, and it is a very good thing that we cannot.

A School for Negro Nurses: At the George W. Hubbard Hospital and Meharry Medical College Nashville, Tennessee

of Nursing of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee, a brief history of the institution is helpful. Meharry Medical College was organized in 1876 as the medical department of the Central Tennessee College. It was named for the Meharry family whose sons, Hugh, Alexander, David, Jesse, and Samuel, contributed liberally towards its establishment and support. The name was changed to Meharry Medical College of Walden University in 900oo, and at this time, the school of nursing was established. Later, a separate and corporate existence was sought and on October 13, 1915, a new charter was granted by the State of Tennessee. The object of the incorporation is briefly outlined in this statement taken from the charter:
