Research in Progress

Research in Progress Prepared by Mary Ellen Chijioke and Claire B. Shetter Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College 500 College Avenue, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania 19081 Women's studies continue to be a fertile breeding ground for Quaker history topics, and a number of researchers are working on topics relating to gender roles in the Society of Friends. Phyllis Mack of Rutgers University is preparing a book on "Gender and spirituality in 17th-century Quakerism." Her address is 334 Graham St., Highland Park, NJ 08904. Rebecca Larson, a Fellow of the Philadelphia Center for Early American Studies, is writing her Harvard doctoral dissertation on "Quaker women ministers, 1700-1775, in the AngloAmerican world." During her field studies, she can be reached at 615 North Chester Rd. , Swarthmore, PA 19081 . Covering the next century, Carole Spencer, a graduate student at Western Evangelical Seminary, is studying 19th-century Gurneyite Quaker women ministers and their contributions to social reform. Her mailing address is 15770 S. Beaver Glen Dr., Oregon City, OR 97045. Alison M. Newby, a doctoral candidate at Manchester University (address: 12 Deanbank Ave., Burnage, Manchester MI9 2E2, England) finds Quakers very important in all aspects of her research on "Religious choices of women in the antebellum period." Margaret Hope Bacon, of 1726 Addison St., Philadelphia, PA 19146, continues her interest in women in her study of Quaker women's journals. Depending on the results of her research, she hopes to produce either a book or a set of extracts. Writing for a younger audience, Nancy W. Bennett of the Institute of Children's Literature has been researching the lives of young Quaker girls to find a suitable true incident to serve as the basis for a short story. Her address is 421 Hardscrabble Rd., Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510. The feminist theme is continued in the appearance of Lucretia Mott as the most popular biographee. Sally M. Davis, a graduate student who can be reached at 1352 G Street, SE, Washington, DC 20003, is "reworking Hare's biography from a feminist perspective." Also in the capital area, Jen Batchelder, a graduate student at George Washington University, is studying Mott's personal correspondence with her family. Her address is 10414 Inwood Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20902. Douglas Gwyn of Pendle Hill (Wallingford, PA 19086) is conducting research for a book on early Friends and politics. Elaine J. Crauderueff, of 306 Bailey Rd., Rosemont, PA 19010, is preparing a Pendle Hill pamphlet on "War Taxes: Experiences of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Quakers through the American Revolution," based on her 1986 MA thesis in Religious Studies for Villanova University. Teruyasu Tamura of Chukyo University in Japan has been a visiting scholar at Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College conducting research on the influence of Quakerism on American culture and especially American literature. He has been looking at the work of Penn, Woolman, Cooper, Emerson , Whitman, and Elizabeth Gray Vining, among others. He hopes to produce a series of articles for the Japanese journals of English studies, as well as a general book. He can be reached locally at 3 Dartmouth Court, Swarthmore , PA 19081. His permanent address is 626-1 Nishihino-cho, Yokkaichishi , Mie-ken 7510 Japan. Research in Progress53 Other biographies cover the full span of Quaker history. Larry Ingle is working on a biography of George Fox. This will be the first modern general biography of Fox. Ingle is on the faculty of the University of Tennessee and can be reached at 1106 Collins Circle, Chattanooga, TN 37411. J. Henriette Louis is preparing a biography of William Penn for the major French publisher Gallimard. Her address is 28 place St. Gilles, 91150 Etampes, France. For the nineteenth century, Beverly Weaver is researching Joseph Wharton and especially his New Jersey ventures, family, and Batsto Village for the State of New Jersey's New Jersey Heritage Program (DEP, CN404, Trenton, NJ 80625). Coming to the early twentieth century, Madeline Gaudioso is preparing her MA thesis for San Jose State University on Helen Marot. She can be reached by mail at 15941 Linda Ave., Los Gatos, CA 95030. The chronology is completed with David M. Kennedy's research for a biography of Courtney Smith, President of Swarthmore College from...

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy May Hold Promise in Studying Metabolites, Tissues

ALMOST 15 years ago, in a basement at Chicago's University of Illinois Medical Center, Michael Barany, MD, PhD, measured phosphorus metabolites in an intact frog muscle using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Prior to that, chemists used spectroscopy solely to analyze the contents of test tubes. Only a British group preceded Barany in proving that it would work in tissue as well. Today, he does spectroscopy clinically, one day a week, at the Greenberg Radiology Institute in Highland Park, Ill, north of Chicago. Barany says that he can distinguish malignant from benign tumors in the living brain. The tool he uses is a standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. While MRI capabilities have forged ahead, human MRS has been awaiting improvements in magnet and computer technology. Barany is one of a number of researchers who, since the early 1980s, have been developing MRS technology and techniques so that it can be

The 12.7 cm Hot Dog Corporation

A corporation was formed in the United States fourteen years ago that does not appear on the New York Stock Exchange or any other. It is alive and well and prospering at Northwood Junior High School in Highland Park, Illinois. The “12.7 cm Hot Dog Corporation” is owned and operated by a group of about forty-five eighth graders, who make all the executive decisions concerning the sale of hot dogs, chips, soda pop, and popcorn at home boys' and girls' basketball games and wrestling meets. I started the corporation to bring “real life” into the classroom and encourage students to use their mathematics skills to make the decisions necessary to run a successful business.

Creating Chicago's North Shore: a suburban history

They are the suburban jewels that crown one of the world's premier cities. Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff: together, they comprise the North Shore of Chicago, a social registry of eight communities that serve as a genteel enclave of affluence, culture, and high society. Historian Michael H. Ebner explains the origins and evolution of the North Shore as a distinctive region. At the same time, he tells the paradoxical story of how these suburbs, with their common heritage, mutual values, and shared aspirations, still preserve their distinctly separate identities. Embedded in this history are important lessons about the uneasy development of the American metropolis.

A Geographically Referenced Tree Inventory System for Microcomputers

A geographically referenced inventory was installed in the town of Highland Park, Texas. Field data were collected using aerial photographs to locate each tree in the field and tree characteristic data were recorded for all trees in the parks as well as all street trees. The locational data were digitized into the computer and characteristic data entered into a database manager. The database can be queried to locate a single tree, all trees on a block, a series of blocks, a park, or the entire town. All queries can result in a plot to the computer monitor or plotter. Characteristic data may be output to the monitor or printer. Business graphics output is also available with the database manager. Updates to the inventory include deletions, additions, and changes in characteristic data which can keep the inventory current.

Factors related to the increasing cesarean section rates for cephalopelvic disproportion

At the Highland Park Hospital the increase in cesarean section rates has paralleled the national increase. Data from cesarean deliveries performed for cephalopelvic disproportion (a leading reason for cesarean section) in 1969 to 1972 (group 1) and 1979 to 1982 (group 2) were evaluated to determine maternal, fetal, and delivery factors that might be related to the increase in the rates. The data suggested that the more frequent diagnosis of cephalopelvic disproportion and the increased size of the group 2 infants were the primary reasons for the increase in cesarean section rate. This increased rate was paralleled by a decline in forceps-assisted delivery and in perinatal mortality rates.

Robinson Jeffers

R O B E R T B R O P H Y California State University, Long Beach Robinson Jeffers Robinson Jeffers had a life-long affair with the “beauty of things,” a life-long stand-off with the human race. His vision of both was height­ ened by the archetypal presence of his Big Sur coast. It is easy to know the beauty of inhuman things, sea, storm and m ountain; it is their soul and their meaning. Humanity has its lesser beauty, impure and painful; we have to harden our hearts to bear it. (“The World’sWonders” ) John Robinson Jeffers was not born into an ordinary family. His father, William Hamilton, was a teacher and scholar, Professor of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis and of Biblical and Ecclesiastical His­ tory at Western Theological Seminary (Presbyterian) near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His mother, a beautiful and talented young woman, as church organist fell in love with the visiting curate, Jeffers, over 20 years her senior. Instead of taking her on a honeymoon, he moved her into a seminary dormitory. John Robinson, their first of two sons (“John” was dropped after publication of his first book) may have been caught in the dynamics between the distant, older, stern father and the young, vivacious, and emotional mother. One critic, William Everson, suggests that the mother-son relationship and its inner strategies for resolution constitute a major influence in Jeffers’sverse. Though not wealthy, the family was characteristically able to move about rather freely. In 1891, when the boy was four, his parents took him on what was to be a succession of European sojourns, placing him in a Zurich school. In 1893 there was a second tour, the school this time in Lucerne. After six years at home in “Twin Hollows,” Sewickley, he was returned to Europe for a longer stay, with schooling at Leipzig, Geneva, Lausanne, Geneva again, and Zurich. During these years, eleven to four­ teen, Jeffers gained a reputation among his peers for solitariness and stoicism—the result of stern teachers, the grandeur and awesomeness of the landscape, some perversion among classmates, separation from the family, and repeated relocation (his father, for reasons unexplained, seems to have visited from the United States only to put him in successive schools). 134 Western American Literature Then westering entered into the family pattern. In 1903, for health reasons and perhaps to move away from the political tensions of the seminary faculty, the patriarch Jeffers moved his family to California, first to Long Beach, then to Highland Park (Los Angeles) where young Robinson matriculated as a junior, age sixteen, at Occidental College, then a small Presbyterian school. With his native intelligence and wide back­ ground in language and culture no doubt impressing his peers and profes­ sors alike, he took courses in biblical literature, economics, geology, history, Greek, rhetoric and astronomy, a discipline which featured frequent fieldtrips to Mount Wilson and Echo Mountain observatories. He made fast friends perhaps for the first time in his life and took part in athletics and class hiking. Here he began writing and publishing verse for the school literary magazine, The Aurora, which became The Occidental under his editorship in his senior year. He graduated in a class of eleven in 1905. Jeffers immediately entered graduate school at the University of Southern California in mid-Los Angeles as a student of literature. There in a class on Faust he met his future wife Una who was then married to a young barrister, Edward Kuster. In April 1906 came another abrupt family interlude in Switzerland where Jeffers took courses in philosophy, Old English, French literary history, Dante, Spanish romantic poetry, and the history of the Roman Empire. The following semester found him back at USC, translating German articles for one of the medical school faculty. In September 1907 he was accepted into the medical school and, although evidently not intending to become a practicing physician, he rose to the top of his class, becoming special assistant to Dr. Lyman Stookey and teaching physiology at the USC dental college. Una meanwhile was finish­ ing a masters thesis on “Mysticism” at USC and meeting Jeffers clandes­ tinely at Hermosa Beach where he...

Advanced Placement: An Exemplary Honors Model

This article, examining honors and Advanced Placement Courses, is the second in a series reporting on the Richardson Study, a national investigation of the educational opportunities available to able learners, being conducted by the Sid W. Richardson Foundation in Fort Worth, Texas. In addition to conducting a national survey and visiting schools throughout the country, I gathered information for the article by inviting six people actively involved with honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses to meet with my committee and me to discuss these options from their respective vantage points. Working with us in Fort Worth on September 21 and 22, 1982 were Jewell Bindrup, Director of Gifted/Talented Programs for the Utah Department of Education; Steven Brown, Director of Academic Enrichment Programs for the Madison Elementary School District in Phoenix, Arizona; Robert Crawford, Director of College Counseling at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts; Dennis Day, teacher at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas; Marie Laine, teacher at O.D. Wyatt High School in Fort Worth, Texas; and Irwin Spear, Professor of Biological Science at the University of Texas at Austin. We sought diversity in selecting the programs for consideration. O. D. Wyatt High School in Fort Worth, with a student population of over 80% black, bears little resemblance to the high school in affluent Highland Park and even less to schools like Andover that ‘train the country's elite in the prep tradition, providing top education for top dollar’ (Williams, et. al., 1981). The Utah Development of Education represents a statewide effort to implement AP programs; the University of Texas, Austin, is engaged in training teachers in AP methods and curricula; and the Madison Elementary School District in Phoenix is developing a Junior AP program — a project that may become a part of the College Board's official program. Ideas and information flowed freely during two days of spirited discussions. This article reflects many of the thoughts shared and the recommendations generated.

Investigation of several techniques for reviewing audio-tutorial instruction

Should students receiving a review of previously learned material show better retention than nonreview students? Do students using audio-tutorial review retain more than students using only a study guide? Students at Highland Park Community College participated in a learning-retention experiment. Subjects were assigned randomly to one of four review groups: study guide only, summary audiotape; compressed-speech audiotape, and no review. Analysis of retention scores incorporated Bartlett’s statistic, ANOVAs, and Dunnett’st. A CTMM IQ test also was given the subjects.
