The renaissance tradition in the reformed church of Scotland(presidential address)

In the sixteenth century Scotland was in close conscious relation with the continent. In international politics she had through the dynastic connections of her royal house acquired a crucial importance, and in ecclesiastical, academic, and literary spheres that relationship had never before and perhaps has never since been quite so intimate or so fully developed. The end of the Auld Alliance in 1560 did not weaken although it may have changed these ties. Indeed they were in many ways strengthened. In ever increasing numbers the sons of Scottish nobility went abroad in the furtherance of their general education and experience of the world. Almost every university in Europe was at some time visited by Scottish scholars and almost every educated Scot who in this century achieved distinction in religion, education or politics had spent some time at one or more of the great centres of learning. Nor was this traffic one way. Scotland had its modest share of travellers from overseas in the early days of the grand tour, and although only a few itineraries have so far come to light there is ample evidence in surviving alba amicorum and in the university rector’s books that a visit to the northern kingdom and an extended period of residence at one of its universities was unexceptional.

The Theater of Wilberto Canton

dividing the _aurge estates. Later, he attended the National University in Mexico City, from which he was graduated in 1947 with a degree in law. While a student, he became involved in political action, and in 1945 he was named chairman of the steering committee of the Congreso Continental de la Juventud which met that year in Mexico City. He also was active in the student strikes of 1948, eventually leading to the resignation of the university rector, Brito Foucher. In 1949 Cant6n went to Paris to study for a year at the Sorbonne under a fellowship granted him by the Instituto Frances de la America Latina. This not only afforded him an opportunity to perfect his French, but also brought him into close contact with European theater. Upon his return to Mexico, Cant6n decided to give up the law for a career in writing. To earn a living, he turned to journalism, writing for such newspapers as Excelsior, Novedades, and El Nacional, as well as for a number of magazines and literary reviews. In 1955 he was elected president of the Asociaci6n de Criticos de Teatro. For the following ten years he was associated with the theatrical section of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, first as assistant director of its drama school, then as head of public relations, and finally, as director of the theatrical section, a position he held until 1965. Since then, he has been earning his living as a journalist, in television, and in the theater. In his spare moments he continues to cultivate his

Plans for Comprehensive Higher Institutions

Higher education in the Federal Republic is undergoing radical changes, which aim at modernizing and democratizing the university's structure, governance, and programs of study. The elaborate planning includes the participation of all Federal and Land government authorities, associations of university rectors, professors, assistants, and students, as well as of labor unions, professional organizations, and the public (at open hearings). The first draft of a Federal Framework Law was passed in July 1970; a revised second draft, submitted in December, will probably see final adoption by the Bundestag in early summer 1971.

Ambivalensi Pemikiran Mahmud Syaltut tentang Fikih Perempuan

In general, we know about Egypt very well, because of all this time, Egypt, especially Kairo, has been viewed as one of the centers of Islamic thought in the world. Naturally this country had a lot of Islamic thinkers, like Mahmud Syaltut (d. 1963) that has become the Rector of al-Azhar University. The influence of his thought overstepped the bounds of time and political territory. The Islamic jurisprudence is an inseparable legal thought from the fulfillment of social demands. One of the evidences is its’ response to actual issues, like gender equality represented in his opinions about domestical duty, women testimony, girl marriage, and poligamy. As a thinker in the Islamic jurisprudence, Syaltut has endeavored to respond such issues, including gender. As a reformer in the turbulent time, his reflection on such matters expressed critical preference, so frequently looked different from the prevalent opinion. In one side, his reflection was “liberal” because of his bravery in stepping beyond the Islamic orthodoxy and the modernity, but in another side, his thought was “conservative”if it was viewed from his endorsement to the old Islamic thought that reflected a gender bias. This showed the uniqueness and the ambivalence of his thought, so very interesting to being studied.

Tympanoplastic surgery.

<h3>Introduction</h3> In the constant endeavor to further investigation and study new techniques, the Director of our Clinic wanted tympanoplastic operations to figure in the curriculum. Then the Rector of the State University of Chile became interested and, together with the Dean of the Medical Faculty, made arrangements for me to visit Professor Wullstein's clinic in Würzburg, Germany, where I spent several weeks during 1957 observing 45 operations. With this experience I initiated this type of surgery in Chile, using instruments which I brought for this purpose from Germany, as well as a Zeiss operating microscope. This experience is valuable in pioneering Wullstein's technique in this country. <h3>General Remarks</h3> Tympanoplasty has been revolutionary in ear surgery. Few new techniques have produced such high enthusiasm. Medical journals from all over the world bring papers on the subjects. Penicillin did away with acute mastoiditis and its complications, and ear surgery was required only

Facets of Mexican Thought: José Vasconcelos (1871-….)

Modern Ibero-American thought is generally neither distinguished by originality nor by systematic integrity. The Mexican philosophers Antonio Caso and José Vasconcelos, both to-day well advanced in years, are two notable exceptions to this rule. Both are systematic thinkers as well as prolific writers, and Vasconcelos combines with a synthetic view of life and civilization a vigorous originality of expression, two gifts which in their conjunction make it quite understandable that he is regarded by many of the intellectual leaders of Latin America as one of the most representative exponents of Ibero-American ideas in general and of Mexican philosophic thought in particular. A comprehensive monograph, dealing with the life and work of José Vasconcelos is being published this autumn by Dr. Oswaldo Robles, Professor of Philosophy at the National University of Mexico and Academic Rector of the Latin-American Military University in Mexico City. The writings of Vasconcelos comprise more than twenty volumes of works on metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics; a History of Philosophy; a History of Mexico; essays, biographies, and tragedies; and an extensive autobiography in four volumes. The author of this imposing oeuvre is at present Director of the National Library of Mexico and engaged in carrying through important reforms in that venerable institution.

Education in Italy

Abstract The theories and principles introduced by Gentile and Lombardo-Radice into the educational reforms for which they were responsible in 1923 have been in process of gradual dilution since 1928. Gentile has for some time been engaged in politically innocuous literary activities; Lombardo-Radice died last year. Early in 1939 the Educational Charter (Carta delta Scuola), a translation of which is given below, was adopted not by educational authorities but by the Grand Council of the Fascist Party, and presents an outline of the general organization of the system of Education which will serve as the basis of a reform to be prepared by the Minister of National Education, Signor Bottai. The difference between the Gentile reform and the Educational Charter is that the former was based on the new cultural values of Fascism, which in fact had preceded Fascism by a generation, while the latter aims to incorporate the educational system more definitely and closely into the whole fabric of Fascism all its aspects. The schools, from the maternal schools to the universities, are to live and be inspired by the Fascist mentality as developed since the Revolution. Education, participation in Fascist activities, and labor are from now on to constitute a single unit; training for Fascist citizenship must extend from the earliest school years on, and the educational system is to be a single unit based upon Fascist ideals. Education must be regarded not merely as an obligation but as a service as important, for example, as military service and other civic duties. Hence no distinction is made between curricular and extra-curricular activities, and participation in education is accompanied from the earliest years to the age of admission to full citizenship (21) by participation in the Giovent[ugrave] Italiana del Littorio (G.I.L.) and the Gruppi dei Fascisti Universitari (G.U.F.). An essential element in education is training for labor. The Educational Charter not only has the strong support of Mussolini but is said to have been inspired, especially in its emphasis on labor, by Il Duce. It will be noted how instruction, labor service, and military training constitute the three essential elements to be stressed in education. New courses of study have been prepared for each type of school by a committee of thirty members including the Minister, university rectors, professors, principals, and educational experts.

Verhandlungen der deutschen zoologischen Gesellschaft, xii Versammlung, Giessen, 1902

THE German Zoological Society consists of about 240 experts, who meet in variable numbers for two or three days annually in some happily chosen hospitable spot, where they hold high discourse. There were only about sixty members present at last summer's (twelfth) meeting in Giessen, but the Society, if not large in numbers, is strong in quality. It is not pecuniarily rich, for it has backed out of more than an honorary responsibility witH regard to one of its offspring—an expensive child—“Das Tierreich,” which the Berlin Academy of Science will henceforth solely foster, but it is rich in enthusiasm, as we infer from the proposal to segregate into entomological, ornithological and other sections. Long may it live and thrive, and continue to publish its interesting proceedings, which we have just been enjoying. The volume, ably edited by Prof. Korschelt, contains a general introductory address by Prof. Chun; a welcome from Prof. Hansen, as rector of the University of Giessen; a short reminiscence, by Prof. Spengel, of the zoologists who have taught and wrought at Giessen, e.g. Leuckart, Schneider and Ludwig; and;about sixteen papers, most of which impress us with their general interest, their lucidity and their brevity.
