We Remember Maynooth: A College Across Four Centuries by Salvador Ryan John-Paul Sheridan (review)

Book Reviews Salvador Ryan and John-Paul Sheridan (eds), We Remember Maynooth: A College Across Four Centuries (Dublin: Messenger Publications, 2020), 512 pages. This book marks the 225th anniversary of the foundation of Maynooth College in 1795. The British government financed the establishment of the Royal College at Maynooth for the education of priests at a remove from the influence of revolutionary Europe, where Irish priests were trained at that time. The book’s objective is to provide, not a history of the college, but essays written ‘between the lines of history’.1 The editors have succeeded admirably with this handsomely produced and most enjoyable publication. Most of the one hundred short contributions, generally three to six pages, are recollections of students and teachers in Maynooth since the 1950s. The historian Terence Dooley highlights how the visit of Queen Victoria to Carton House in 1849 illustrated the ambiguous nature of the college’s relationship with the British administration. In 1845 the government had provided a grant of £30,000 towards the construction costs of the college, but the bishops differed as to the tenor of their proposed address of welcome to the queen. Archbishop MacHale of Tuam thought that it should emphasise the cruel neglect of the famine victims by Victoria’s ministers. Archbishop Murray of Dublin, who ran an impressive famine relief scheme, thought that more could be achieved by working with the British administration than against it. He drafted an address of warm welcome, which acknowledged that the thought of people’s woes ‘pressed already so severely on Your Majesty’s parental heart’. Murray hoped in vain that ‘the amiable little Queen’ might visit Maynooth, and the college president, Msgr Laurence Renehan, drafted an address of welcome which expressed gratitude for its endowment. In the event, Murray and Renehan were among those who dined with the queen in Carton House.2 The dominant themes in the recollections of former students and staff relate to the impact on the college of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s and the effects of the opening of the college to lay students shortly afterwards. Many of the reflections by priests who were students in the 1950s and 1960s emphasise the barren and sterile nature of much of their theological training, Spring 2021: Book Reviews Studies • volume 110 • number 437 102 coupled, however, with fond memories of the college itself. Joseph Duffy, the retired Bishop of Clogher who was ordained in 1958, recalls that the spark which enlivened his Celtic studies BA course was missing when he came to study theology. As a preparation for preaching, he found that the rigidities of the theology courses added little to the national school catechism.3 The theology students in the late 1960s rebelled against the system and managed to secure improvements in how the subject was taught and in its content. Two professors of theology, ‘Frankie’ Cremin (as he was affectionately known by generations of students) and Enda McDonagh, came to represent, respectively, the old and the new approaches to theology. McDonagh has spent seventy-plus years in Maynooth as student, professor, and retired resident. He was appointed Professor of Moral Theology and Canon Law in 1958. The linking of these two fields of study was the custom in many Catholic institutions and, in McDonagh’s view, had distorting effects on moral theology which, in many of the textbooks, came to be treated as a legal tract.4 Patrick Hannon recalls the shock when Cremin told his postgraduate student seminar in 1965 that his undergraduate students had interrupted his lecture to complain that Cremin’s courses showed no awareness of the renewal of moral theology then in train for more than a decade. Cremin was the Irish bishops’ peritus, or expert, at the Second Vatican Council. He was aware of the new trends in theology but remained an unrepentant exponent of the moral theology of the traditional manuals. Hannon concludes that only an old-fashioned loyalty prevented Cremin, a kindly and fair-minded man, from openly criticising McDonagh and other junior colleagues for exposing their students to the new thinking. Hannon considered that the Maynooth regime stunted growth and did not prepare students for...

A Life and a Legacy: Dr Ian Jackson and the Establishment of Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery in India.

Dr. IT Jackson was a world leader in the field of Cleft and Craniofacial surgery. He played a pivotal role in the development of plastic surgery as a specialty in India. He featured in the Indian Plastic Surgeons meetings and conferences of Indian Society of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Surgery very often and became an integral part of these societies. India was very close to his heart. He allowed Indian plastic surgeons to visit his craniofacial institute to learn the nuances of craniofacial surgery. Many of us still practice the procedures popularised by him.Personal contact with Dr. Jackson was an enviable association. It was a boon for anyone who came in contact with him. He was my mentor as I spent 6 months with him. I have fond memories of his personal care and mentorship not only in the field of plastic surgery but also in general patient care and communication skills. His memory is engraved in our heart. This is an opportunity to pay our respect to the departed holy soul.

Memories of and reflections on play

ABSTRACT My fondest memories of play created a better more empowering me. Growing up in a low SES neighborhood with two hard working parents, life sometimes felt lonely and harsh. But, When I played, I was secured, spoke intelligently, and was proud of my family and what we had. It was through my play that I felt whole and not broken, or out place as I often did in school. I realize today the necessity of play for many children like myself. The need to feel safe and break away from life's daily challenges. I attribute play to helping me shape a more positive take on life and serving as a key component for developing a growth type of mindset. Thus, I believe play can be attributed to facilitating flexible mindsets in young children.

Is This a Word for an Emotion? Considering a Set of English Data

There are many words that rather clearly denote emotions, such as the nouns anger, happiness, and sadness. However, some cases are not so clear. For example, if a person feels relaxed, the adjective can refer to a physiological as well as an emotional state. It may be even more difficult to decide if a word such as the noun fun or the adjective warm refers to an emotional state. In this paper, I will discuss a list of 86 words that I collected while annotating a set of British English texts. They consisted of people’s fond memories of the music of digital games, and I aimed to mark all words that referred to emotions. I made notes of words that I was uncertain about. Here, those words are considered in the light of two dictionaries, the Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners, and the Oxford English Dictionary online.

This Won't Last Forever: Benefits and Costs of Anticipatory Nostalgia.

What helps consumers extract the greatest happiness from their experiences? The current investigation is the first to introduce to the consumer literature the construct of anticipatory nostalgia, defined as missing aspects of the present before they vanish in the future. While personal nostalgia involves fond memories and longing for what has already been lost, anticipatory nostalgia involves missing what has not yet been lost. In four studies, we show that marketing communications can elicit anticipatory nostalgia, and this emotion can either enhance or reduce consumer enjoyment of the experience, depending on the experience valence or the individual’s level of life satisfaction. Specifically, mediated by anxiety, anticipatory nostalgia decreased enjoyment and positive affect in pleasant situations, but it enhanced enjoyment and affect in unpleasant circumstances. Study 4 extended the paradigm to a real-life setting and showed that the impact of anticipatory nostalgia on enjoyment and meaningfulness can last as long as 8 h after the manipulation.

A World of Scientific Endeavors and Friendships

To give readers a sense of the important contributions of the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR) in the development of individuals’ careers from the early 90s through the early 2000s, we asked Eugene Healy (University of Southampton, UK), Sarolta Karpati (Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary), and Lajos Kemeny (University of Szeged, Hungary) to share their experience in leadership positions in the Society during that period. They were posed several questions, presented in bold, and their responses follow their initials in the paragraphs that follow.

Profile of Paul E. Turner

“There is a lot of power in addressing general questions in biology using the smallest inhabitants of the planet,” says Paul E. Turner, the Rachel Carson Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University. Conducting interdisciplinary and experimental evolution studies of microbes, Turner and his colleagues elucidate virus evolution and ecology and host–parasite interactions, among other subjects. Turner, who was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2019, also conducts applied research on the development of virus-based therapies that hold promise for combating antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. His Inaugural Article (1) contributes to that body of research, which is helping to launch a new era in phage biotechnology. Paul E. Turner. Image credit: Michael Marsland (Yale University, New Haven, CT). When Turner reflects on his childhood, spent in the San Francisco Bay Area and central New York, fond memories concerning biology come to his mind: Exploring forests, visiting zoos, reading books by Stephen Jay Gould, and watching television programs like Wild Kingdom . Alice Kendrick, a teacher at Jamesville-DeWitt High School in New York, cultivated his interest in biology. “She is awesome and made a lasting positive impact,” Turner says. His parents were both college-educated and employed in professions related to theology and education. Turner says, “Although they were not scientists, my parents appreciated that I was captivated with biology and they provided supportive encouragement for me to pursue a career in this discipline.” After earning a bachelor of arts degree in biological sciences from the University of Rochester in 1988, Turner began graduate studies at the University of California, Irvine. There he met evolutionary biologist Joseph Graves, Jr, then a postdoctoral fellow. Turner says, “This prominent African American scientist served as my early life coach, helping me to navigate a field where diversity remains very low.” Turner transferred …

Nicaraguan Homeowner Showing Gratitude for Concrete Flooring as Part of a Public Health Mission Trip.

Description I'm Bree Kinnison, a fourth-year medical student and aspiring psychiatrist. When I'm not studying, I enjoy painting using acrylics. This painting depicts a very fond memory of mine. After completing the medical portion of our mission trip in Nicaragua, we began our public health portion. Along with fellow students, I laid concrete flooring in this woman's house. For all 76 years of her life, she had never experienced anything other than a dirt floor in her home. Traditional dirt flooring in Nicaraguan homes is responsible for many preventable illnesses. When shown the final product, she reached out and hugged the first person she could get ahold of. She began crying and thanking God for placing us in her life. We were equally grateful for this life-changing experience.

Remembering Gregory Areshian: his years in the United States

Writing a memorial about a mentor and a dear friend brings a lot of mixed feelings. So many times, I sat down to write and my mind was instantly filled with didactic moments and fond memories, both interweaving, coming to focus, and fading. I tried to maintain a coherent timeline, but my memory pales in comparison to Gregory’s. Few people have been blessed with such impeccable memory.

Hardin's Donation of Ray Bradbury Collection

526 SCIENCE FICTION STUDIES, VOLUME 47 (2020) NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Ray Bradbury Collection Donated to the University of South Carolina by Anne Farr Hardin. “You usually don’t know you’re collecting until you realize you need more shelves,” says Anne Hardin, decades-long friend of celebrated author Ray Bradbury, whose work shaped the fantasy, sf, horror, and mystery fiction genres. Born 100 years ago (22 August 1920), Bradbury is most known for his novels Fahrenheit 451 (1953), The Martian Chronicles (1950), and The Illustrated Man (1951). Hardin’s Bradbury collection, which she recently gifted to the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at University of South Carolina Libraries, grew over the decades. The collection includes rare and one-of-a kind books, artwork, photographs, fanzines, pulps, and more. Hardin’s friendship with Bradbury began in 1982 when she was editor of the International Trumpet Guild Journal. She wrote to the L.A. Times seeking permission to reprint Bradbury’s poem, “Satchmo Saved,” about Louis Armstrong; the newspaper forwarded her request to Bradbury, who responded directly to Hardin. They continued to correspond for the next 13 years, and many letters included gifts. “Every time I turned around, there was a package in the mail. He sent me special editions or valuable copies of Fahrenheit 451 or The Martian Chronicles just because he wanted me to have them. It was all about our friendship,” she says. After more than a decade of correspondence, a message on her answering machine changed everything. “I came home from work one day when I was a middle-school band director. There were lots of messages on my machine—and one of them was from Ray. I just about fell over,” she says. “He’d sent me a poem, 'Just Gimme That Brass.' He’d had a dream of hearing that poem put to music, and wanted to know if I could have it performed at the Trumpet Guild’s 20th anniversary conference the following year if he could get it set to music.” At the conference the following year, she finally met him face-to-face, along with his guest, Hollywood composer David Raksin, who had set the poem to music. “I tried to act like I wasn’t stunned,” she says. From 1995 until Bradbury’s death in 2012, Hardin and Bradbury spoke and met regularly. “My husband Jim and I went to L.A. for Christmas in 1997, and at dinner, Ray had a gift for me,” Hardin says. “As soon as I opened it and saw a bit of aluminum, I knew what it was—the aluminum edition of Fahrenheit 451—it’s my favorite gift. He’d rolled it up in Christmas paper and used postage stamps, instead of tape, to secure it,” she says. “At the time, there was no easy way to find special-edition books, and this was a rare, promotional book I didn’t think I would ever have.” Other favorites in Hardin’s collection include the very first off-the-press copy of the first edition of The Martian Chronicles, which Bradbury dedicated to, inscribed, and gave to his wife Marguerite. Another favorite is a first edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962), which Bradbury inscribed and gave to actor Gene Kelly, and then inscribed a second time to Hardin. 527 NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE “One of my favorite items showed up in the mail one year. It’s a little Halloween tree that you hang pumpkins and ghosts on. Ray bought a bunch of these trees for his friends that year. You can see the price tag is still on the box. He bought it at Kmart for $6.99. He just loved Halloween,” she says. One of her fondest memories is Bradbury’s book signing at a DragonCon in Atlanta. The event organizers didn’t have anyone scheduled to help. “I promptly got this large crowd organized and in line, explained the two-item limit, and stood beside Ray and opened each item for him to sign,” she says. “That day we grabbed a hamburger lunch at the hotel and talked like friends—not about the meaning of life, but about his...
