I was excited to learn that the cover story for this issue of Franklin & Marshall Magazine would share with alumni the vibrancy of the City of Lancaster. The development of Lancaster is an American success story. All of us who work and study at F&M have the great fortune of being part of a community that has been rising to a place of prominence and distinction among America’s mid-sized Renaissance cities.

Recently named one of Movoto Real Estate’s 10 Most Exciting Small Cities in America, Lancaster is creative, diverse and thriving—as more people move here and stay here to enjoy parks, restaurants, cafes, art galleries, Central Market and amenities of many types, all nestled in a walkable downtown core.

Today’s Lancaster is a tribute to the deep and longstanding commitments of leaders in business, nonprofit organizations, economic development, and education, and especially the visionary leadership of Mayor Rick Gray, his administration, and a succession of City Councils. I also want to recognize my predecessor, President John Fry, for his tireless and effective leadership in economic development, civic engagement, and bringing to reality the historic Northwest Gateway project. That project will lead to redevelopment of the Armstrong World Industries and Norfolk Southern rail yard sites and knit together two neighborhoods in northern Lancaster city—for the benefit of the community, the College and Lancaster General Health.

F&M community members are partners in the resurgence of Lancaster, and the College is making significant investments in the city. To name just a few:

• In partnership with the United Way of Lancaster County, specially trained F&M student volunteers, including coordinator Gordon Heller ’15, annually assist working families with their taxes—last year helping to file 411 free tax returns, yielding more than $572,000 in refunds.

• For the past six years, F&M squash players and other students have mentored School District of Lancaster students in the Squash ACES program—helping them stay academically focused while teaching discipline through squash.

• In conjunction with the F&M Works program, F&M students use federal work-study awards to serve local nonprofit organizations.

• Thirteen students are working this summer in Lancaster nonprofits as Public Service Summer Interns through F&M’s Ware Institute for Civic Engagement.

• This fall, Class of 2014 graduates Astrid Barreras and Patricia Gonzalez will work for our College Advising Corps as college advisers in Lancaster’s McCaskey High School.

• Through the City Life homebuyer incentive program, 62 employees have purchased homes in the neighborhood between the campus and downtown since 2004—deepening the close community that characterizes an F&M education and helping stabilize one of Lancaster's neighborhoods.

• Each year, the College makes a payment in lieu of taxes and maintains the beautiful Buchanan Park beside campus.

These initiatives and others demonstrate that, while there’s no denying that our students enjoy the city, they are also giving back to the place that embraces them for four years. They are honing their skills as engaged, empathetic citizens and neighbors of action. Our town offers them a place to learn these values, and Lancaster’s increasing prosperity underscores what happens when a strong community grows and works together.

—President Daniel R. Porterfield

Remembering Professor Wank

\r\nSolomon Wank (Obituaries, Spring 2014) was a gifted teacher and the best I ever had at F&M—or in grad school, for that matter. He taught a class on political philosophy and sociology that I remember to this day. He helped open my mind and sharpened my powers of analysis, for which I am grateful.

In Defense of Merit Aid

\r\nI graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in 1987, so proud to be in the Bicentennial Class of my father’s alma mater. I probably didn’t deserve to be in the class of 1987. I was a decent student, worked hard, was a product of an upper-middle class public education system, but I wasn't a rocket scientist. And truth be told, I only applied to two schools—but I really only ever wanted to go to F&M. I had the sweatshirts, the yearbooks, the Homecoming Weekends with my parents. I was raised on F&M. It was “in my blood.”
\n
\nBut I found an item in the most recent issue of the Franklin & Marshall Magazine and the section F&M in the News (“Merit Aid Won’t Help Colleges Survive,” The Chronicle of Higher Education, Spring 2014) to be disturbing.
\n
\nI know we can each pick a side to argue for or against, and that’s what makes us stronger and wiser. But as Ben Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” So why would you be Penny Wise and Pound Foolish when it comes to the best and brightest? Isn’t it the goal of F&M to attract the best and brightest?
\n
\nJustifying the move away from merit-based aid in the name of helping “colleges survive” sure sounds like propaganda for a road already traveled. Careful what you wish for and call it what it is, F&M doesn’t have enough money to give to students who deserve it. F&M used to be Franklin College and Marshall College. Maybe instead of sacrificing merit, the college ought to take a hard look at itself and think about what third letter fits best after the ampersand. In the real politic of student finances, administrators and staff can be redundant in a merger; students with ‘merit’ are not.

From the Twitterverse

\r\nLori Marshall P’15:  On vacation in Vermont, overheard a cashier say she was considering F&M. Piped up and told her my daughter is a senior and loves it!
\n
\nJulie Kerich:  25 years ago, FandMCollege alum, Oscar winner, director Franklin Schaffner died. Remember his great movies: Planet of the Apes, Patton, Papillon.
\n
\nRobert Yamulla ’14:  Well Twitter, my lab colleagues and I are officially published scientists.
\n
\nSteve Ulrich ’82, P’18:  A different perspective on my alma mater today as we take Ryan to FandMCollege #Beginnings2018 #Dad
\n
\nTony Ross ’91:  Had the honor of speaking at FandMCollege with some bright students yesterday! Yet another reminder of the importance of education.

\n
\n“I hope you all stay curious and never stop learning,” Stephanopoulos said in his Commencement address before 604 graduation participants and a crowd of more than 3,000 guests in F&M’s Alumni Sports & Fitness Center. “One of the best parts of my job right now is how many different parts of the world, how many stories, and how much information it exposes me to every day. All that makes for a rich, stimulating and fast-paced professional life, but I also have to remind myself every day to slow down, to think, and remember what it's like to really study.”
\n
\nStephanopoulos is a longtime friend of F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield, a fellow Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in the 1980s. In his remarks, Porterfield talked about the things that give individual students the space to learn and grow—in college and beyond.
\n
\n“Love makes space. A liberal arts education makes space. This great College makes space, for you and for all,” Porterfield said. “If you love what you were empowered to do here, then it is your job to facilitate the preservation of this College and our perhaps fragile tradition of learning, in a society that needs us more than it realizes.”

The officers will be equipped with the side arms beginning in September.
\n
\nIn September 2013, F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield called for an inclusive campus discussion about whether the College should arm its sworn officers. He invited the discussion both in the context of an ongoing phenomenon of mass shootings across the country, and also the sustained development of DPS into a professional, accredited campus police force. The president announced the Board’s decision in a June 9 email to students, faculty, professional staff and parents.
\n
\n“Franklin & Marshall joins institutions across the country that have gone through a thorough process of research and self-examination and determined that arming sworn officers is appropriate for us, given the quality of our campus safety force and also the situations confronting educational institutions and law enforcement officers today,” Porterfield said. “It was, objectively, the quality of our campus police force—its preparedness and its training—combined with my concerns about the increase of active shooters and the realities that our officers face today in their off-campus patrols, that prompted me to call the arming question.”

Campus members, alumni, parents and community members also could provide feedback through an online form. All of the information was shared with the Trustees on an ongoing basis.
\n
\nThe Trustees said the measure will allow the officers to provide a more effective response to threatening situations in areas they patrol. The College’s non-sworn security officers will not be armed.
\n
\n“The Board felt that it was our responsibility to look at the question of arming objectively and analytically, not to be swayed by personal views, and to fulfill our obligation to decide how best to ensure the safety and security of the campus community,” said Trustee Douglas McCormack ’85, chair of the task force that recommended the decision to arm. “The realities of what campus police officers face in protecting students, faculty and administrators are different than they were 30 years ago. We decided to equip F&M’s sworn officers to be able to confront those realities.”
\n
\nThe campus discussions illuminated a range of perspectives the Trustees considered during the decision-making process.
\n
\n“I appreciate the efforts that were made to enable the community-at-large to weigh in on this issue,” said Professor and Chair of Sociology Katherine McClelland. “We had a very thoughtful discussion at a faculty meeting last fall, prompted by the circulation of a letter several of us wrote presenting an argument against arming. A range of opinions were voiced at this meeting, and all received careful and respectful attention—including some related to concerns regarding racial biases in policing. In the end, the faculty voted to endorse the letter, recommending the Trustees not arm Public Safety.”
\n
\nOther faculty and students spoke in campus forums about the arguments presented by the white paper that provided the campus with data and information about arming.
\n
\nIncluded in the white paper was an assessment of four Top 50 liberal arts colleges that arm its officers and four that do not, enumerating such factors for consideration as: response times from local municipal police, relationships with local municipal police departments, recruitment and retention of a quality public safety force and availability of training.
\n
\nMatthew Momjian ’14, director of F&M’s student-run Emergency Medical Services (EMS) during his senior year, agrees with the Board's decision to arm the officers.
\n
\n“I worked very closely with DPS and have been in a number of potentially dangerous situations with them [through my role with EMS],” Momjian said. “Arming will allow them to respond more quickly instead of having to wait for other police departments to arrive. I hope the on-campus discussions were educational, and I think that the Trustees made the right decision for the safety of everyone on campus.”
\n
\nF&M joins several higher education institutions in the central and eastern Pennsylvania region that equip sworn officers with firearms. These include Millersville University, Penn State-Harrisburg, Lehigh University, and York, Muhlenberg, Lafayette, Moravian, Juniata and Dickinson colleges.
\n
\nThe College currently requires that all officers and supervisors be trained under Act 120 in Pennsylvania, which includes a minimum of 750 hours of training, including training with firearms. This training is the same required for all municipal police in the state. In addition, all officers and supervisors are trained under a separate act that provides certification to privately employed agents to carry various types of weapons.
\n
\nF&M Director of Public Safety William McHale said all of the College’s officers and supervisors graduate from a municipal police academy approved by the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Education and Training Commission, and they have all of the powers of arrest that municipal and state police officers have within their jurisdictions.
\n
\n“A significant benefit of having the Department of Public Safety equipped to respond to threatening situations is that the campus officers have knowledge of the College’s faculty, staff and students and have built relationships through our strong community policing model,” McHale said.
\n
\nThe College’s sworn officers will take part in on- and off-campus training through August, and DPS will order equipment, construct secure storage and maintenance spaces for the firearms, and undertake a thorough legal review of policies during that time. By September, sworn officers will undergo qualification procedures—including psychological testing, diversity training, and more than 30 hours of additional training on use of the specific side arms that officers will be issued—prior to the side arms being dispensed to qualified officers.

Franklin & Marshall College, the Board of Trustees decided in June to equip the sworn campus police officers in F&M’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) with side arms to enhance the safety and security of the campus community. The officers will be equipped with the side arms beginning in September.\n\n\n\nIn September 2013, F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield called for an inclusive campus discussion about whether the College should arm its sworn officers. He invited the discussion both in the context of an ongoing phenomenon of mass shootings across the country, and also the sustained development of DPS into a professional, accredited campus police force. The president announced the Board’s decision in a June 9 email to students, faculty, professional staff and parents.\n\n\n\n“Franklin & Marshall joins institutions across the country that have gone through a thorough process of research and self-examination and determined that arming sworn officers is appropriate for us, given the quality of our campus safety force and also the situations confronting educational institutions and law enforcement officers today,” Porterfield said. “It was, objectively, the quality of our campus police force—its preparedness and its training—combined with my concerns about the increase of active shooters and the realities that our officers face today in their off-campus patrols, that prompted me to call the arming question.”\n\n\n Throughout the campus discussion period, the College held a series of open meetings, conducted surveys, hosted several information sessions with faculty, staff, students and campus neighbors, retained external consultants, and conferred with other institutions of higher education. Campus members, alumni, parents and community members also could provide feedback through an online form. All of the information was shared with the Trustees on an ongoing basis.\n\n\n\nThe Trustees said the measure will allow the officers to provide a more effective response to threatening situations in areas they patrol. The College’s non-sworn security officers will not be armed.\n\n\n\n“The Board felt that it was our responsibility to look at the question of arming objectively and analytically, not to be swayed by personal views, and to fulfill our obligation to decide how best to ensure the safety and security of the campus community,” said Trustee Douglas McCormack ’85, chair of the task force that recommended the decision to arm. “The realities of what campus police officers face in protecting students, faculty and administrators are different than they were 30 years ago. We decided to equip F&M’s sworn officers to be able to confront those realities.”\n\n\n\nThe campus discussions illuminated a range of perspectives the Trustees considered during the decision-making process.\n\n\n\n“I appreciate the efforts that were made to enable the community-at-large to weigh in on this issue,” said Professor and Chair of Sociology Katherine McClelland. “We had a very thoughtful discussion at a faculty meeting last fall, prompted by the circulation of a letter several of us wrote presenting an argument against arming.

These include Millersville University, Penn State-Harrisburg, Lehigh University, and York, Muhlenberg, Lafayette, Moravian, Juniata and Dickinson colleges.\n\n\n\nThe College currently requires that all officers and supervisors be trained under Act 120 in Pennsylvania, which includes a minimum of 750 hours of training, including training with firearms. This training is the same required for all municipal police in the state.

She thanked the College for helping to shape her into the leader she is today.\n\n\n\n“It never occurred to me to not be an involved F&M alumna,” said Riegl, who also serves on F&M’s Leadership Council and works as a postgraduate mentor and Reunion volunteer. “My commitment to the College is lifelong, and I still have much to do.”\n\n\n\nThe other recipients, F&M Trustee Stanley Levin ’74, co-chair of the Class of 1974 Reunion Committee, and Clark McSparren, M.D., ’55, who served on the F&M Alumni Board for eight years, sounded similar themes in their speeches.","pagePermissions":["publish-962769707773466806","publish-37195019821344431","publish-664057995955792282"],"seoDescription":"","published":true,"authorId":null,"excerpt":{"items":[],"type":"area","slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/invalid-date/2016/01/27/alumni-honored-for-leadership-service-career-excellence:excerpt"},"comments":false,"thumbnail":{"items":[],"type":"area","slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/invalid-date/2016/01/27/alumni-honored-for-leadership-service-career-excellence:thumbnail"},"video":{"items":[],"type":"area","slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/invalid-date/2016/01/27/alumni-honored-for-leadership-service-career-excellence:video"},"mediaName":"","mediaEmail":"","mediaPhone":"","mediaLocation":"","url":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/invalid-date/2016/01/27/alumni-honored-for-leadership-service-career-excellence"},{"_id":"31367150844347791","tags":["hartman green (magazine)","summer14"],"type":"blogPost","title":"F&M Professor Wins Prestigious Sanders Prize in Philosophy","publishedAt":"2014-08-18T20:08:00.000Z","publicationDate":"2014-08-18","publicationTime":"16:08:00","credit":"Peter Durantine","thumbnail":{"items":[{"type":"slideshow","ids":["615056624671442827"],"_id":1,"showTitles":false,"showDescriptions":false,"showCredits":false,"extras":{"615056624671442827":{"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false}},"_items":[{"_id":"615056624671442827","length":null,"group":"images","createdAt":"2014-10-30T19:11:48.254Z","name":"philosophy-kroll","title":"philosophy kroll","extension":"jpg","md5":"b48a8f2886b3970dcd8691e31380ba79","width":1000,"height":667,"searchText":"philosophy kroll philosophy kroll none none jpg images jpeg none","landscape":true,"ownerId":"anon-undefined","crops":[{"top":"0","left":"166","width":"667","height":"667"},{"top":"104","left":"361","width":"540","height":"540"}],"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false}]}],"type":"area","slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/2014/08/18/f-m-professor-wins-prestigious-sanders-prize-in-philosophy:thumbnail"},"body1":{"type":"area","items":[{"type":"richText","content":""},{"type":"slideshow","ids":["679237947634865888"],"showTitles":false,"showDescriptions":true,"_id":1,"_items":[{"_id":"679237947634865888","length":null,"group":"images","createdAt":"2014-10-30T19:11:50.031Z","name":"philosophy-kroll","title":"Photo by Melissa Hess","extension":"jpg","md5":"b48a8f2886b3970dcd8691e31380ba79","width":1000,"height":667,"searchText":"philosophy kroll photo by melissa hess none photo by melissa hess jpg images jpeg none","landscape":true,"ownerId":"anon-undefined","description":"Photo by Melissa Hess"}]},{"type":"richText","content":"
\n
\nEarly last winter, two years after receiving his doctorate, a Franklin & Marshall professor submitted an essay for a coveted philosophy prize, seeking in part to provoke dialogue on the modern-day necessity of an archaic form of thought.
\n
\n“I thought it was a long shot,” said Nick Kroll, assistant professor of philosophy. “But I thought it would be really great to have this view recognized and get a discussion going.”
\n
\nThis spring, to Kroll’s surprise and delight, his essay on “Teleological Dispositions” won the 2014 Marc Sanders Prize in Metaphysics, a preeminent philosophy honor awarded by the Marc Sanders Foundation.
\n
\n“Professor Kroll’s paper was broad in scope, tackling an important issue in the metaphysics of causation,” said Dean Zimmerman, who administers the prize and is professor of philosophy at Rutgers University and co-editor of Oxford Studies in Metaphysics. “It illustrated the relevance of facts from the philosophy of language to the nature of dispositions. The view defended, positing intrinsic teleology in nature, is an ancient and respectable one—but one that is not widely defended today.”
\n
\nThe organization’s founder, the late Marc Sanders, was a philanthropist and writer whose view was that science alone could not explain the natural world. He created the prize to support renewed appreciation for traditional philosophy.
\n
\n“Dispositions have puzzled philosophers for a long time,” said Kroll, who focuses his scholarship on such metaphysical concepts. “They’re sort of mysterious.”
\n
\nThe Sanders Prize is an annual essay competition, 7,500 to 15,000 words, and open to young scholars. Kroll, who specializes in the philosophy of language and metaphysics, received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University in 2012.
\n
\nRecipients have their essays published in the Oxford Studies in Metaphysics, which is highly regarded among scholars.
\n
\n“A lot of people in the field of metaphysics will read Nick’s work,” says David Merli, associate professor and chair of philosophy. “That speaks to the quality of research going on here at the College.”"}],"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/2014/08/18/f-m-professor-wins-prestigious-sanders-prize-in-philosophy:body1"},"published":true,"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/2014/08/18/f-m-professor-wins-prestigious-sanders-prize-in-philosophy","path":"home/legacy-blog/news/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/f-m-professor-wins-prestigious-sanders-prize-in-philosophy","level":7,"rank":12,"orphan":true,"reorganize":false,"sortTitle":"f m professor wins prestigious sanders prize in philosophy","highSearchText":"f m professor wins prestigious sanders prize in philosophy magazine magazine issues summer 2014 issue 78 summer 2014 articles 2014 08 18 f m professor wins prestigious sanders prize in philosophy hartman green magazine summer14 peter durantine","highSearchWords":["f","m","professor","wins","prestigious","sanders","prize","in","philosophy","magazine","issues","summer","2014","issue","78","articles","08","18","hartman","green","summer14","peter","durantine"],"lowSearchText":"f m professor wins prestigious sanders prize in philosophy magazine magazine issues summer 2014 issue 78 summer 2014 articles 2014 08 18 f m professor wins prestigious sanders prize in philosophy hartman green magazine summer14 peter durantine philosophy kroll philosophy kroll early last winter two years after receiving his doctorate a franklin marshall professor submitted an essay for a coveted philosophy prize seeking in part to provoke dialogue on the modern day necessity of an archaic form of thought i thought it was a long shot said nick kroll assistant professor of philosophy but i thought it would be really great to have this view recognized and get a discussion going this spring to kroll s surprise and delight his essay on teleological dispositions won the 2014 marc sanders prize in metaphysics a preeminent philosophy honor awarded by the marc sanders foundation professor kroll s paper was broad in scope tackling an important issue in the metaphysics of causation said dean zimmerman who administers the prize and is professor of philosophy at rutgers university and co editor of oxford studies in metaphysics it illustrated the relevance of facts from the philosophy of language to the nature of dispositions the view defended positing intrinsic teleology in nature is an ancient and respectable one but one that is not widely defended today the organization s founder the late marc sanders was a philanthropist and writer whose view was that science alone could not explain the natural world he created the prize to support renewed appreciation for traditional philosophy dispositions have puzzled philosophers for a long time said kroll who focuses his scholarship on such metaphysical concepts they re sort of mysterious the sanders prize is an annual essay competition 7 500 to 15 000 words and open to young scholars kroll who specializes in the philosophy of language and metaphysics received his ph d in philosophy from yale university in 2012 recipients have their essays published in the oxford studies in metaphysics which is highly regarded among scholars a lot of people in the field of metaphysics will read nick s work says david merli associate professor and chair of philosophy that speaks to the quality of research going on here at the college","searchSummary":" \n\n\n\nEarly last winter, two years after receiving his doctorate, a Franklin & Marshall professor submitted an essay for a coveted philosophy prize, seeking in part to provoke dialogue on the modern-day necessity of an archaic form of thought.\n\n\n\n“I thought it was a long shot,” said Nick Kroll, assistant professor of philosophy. “But I thought it would be really great to have this view recognized and get a discussion going.”\n\n\n\nThis spring, to Kroll’s surprise and delight, his essay on “Teleological Dispositions” won the 2014 Marc Sanders Prize in Metaphysics, a preeminent philosophy honor awarded by the Marc Sanders Foundation.\n\n\n\n“Professor Kroll’s paper was broad in scope, tackling an important issue in the metaphysics of causation,” said Dean Zimmerman, who administers the prize and is professor of philosophy at Rutgers University and co-editor of Oxford Studies in Metaphysics. “It illustrated the relevance of facts from the philosophy of language to the nature of dispositions.

\n
\nFor 35 years, Professor David Schuyler has challenged his students at Franklin & Marshall to view the subjects of culture and history from multiple perspectives.
\n
\nHe takes that same approach as a researcher and writer, a scholarly method that has earned Schuyler the Herbert H. Lehman Prize for Distinguished Scholarship in New York from the New York Academy of History at Columbia University, his alma mater. The honor recognizes Schuyler’s 2012 book, “Sanctified Landscape: Writers, Artists, and the Hudson River Valley, 1820-1909,” and is the third prize the volume has won.
\n
\nNamed for the governor who served the Empire State in the 1930s and early 1940s, the award aligns with the New York Academy’s mission to “promote and honor outstanding historical research and writing.” The academy’s director, Kenneth Jackson, presented the award this spring at a dinner at Manhattan’s Century Club.
\n
\n“It’s especially touching because he was co-director of my dissertation and has been a close friend for many years,” Schuyler said of Jackson. “It was great to share that moment with him.”
\n
\nSchuyler, F&M’s Arthur and Katherine Shadek Professor of Humanities and American Studies and a founding trustee of the academy, is a native of the Hudson Valley city of Newburgh, N.Y. He grew up on tales of the subjects of his book: Hudson River School painter Thomas Cole, writer Washington Irving, and landscape designer Andrew Jackson Downing.
\n
\n“Many have written of these figures, but Mr. Schuyler brings them to life in engaging ways and with fresh insights,” reads the Lehman Prize citation. “He never loses sight of the fact that these artists and writers not only rendered the Hudson River Valley for generations of Americans, but also shaped their perception of it.”"}],"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/2014/08/18/schuyler-s-sanctified-landscape-earns-herbert-h-lehman-prize:body1"},"published":true,"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/2014/08/18/schuyler-s-sanctified-landscape-earns-herbert-h-lehman-prize","path":"home/legacy-blog/news/magazine/magazine-issues/summer-2014-issue-78/summer-2014-articles/schuyler-s-sanctified-landscape-earns-herbert-h-lehman-prize","level":7,"rank":13,"orphan":true,"reorganize":false,"sortTitle":"schuyler s sanctified landscape earns herbert h lehman prize","highSearchText":"schuyler s sanctified landscape earns herbert h lehman prize magazine magazine issues summer 2014 issue 78 summer 2014 articles 2014 08 18 schuyler s sanctified landscape earns herbert h lehman prize hartman green magazine summer14 peter durantine","highSearchWords":["schuyler","s","sanctified","landscape","earns","herbert","h","lehman","prize","magazine","issues","summer","2014","issue","78","articles","08","18","hartman","green","summer14","peter","durantine"],"lowSearchText":"schuyler s sanctified landscape earns herbert h lehman prize magazine magazine issues summer 2014 issue 78 summer 2014 articles 2014 08 18 schuyler s sanctified landscape earns herbert h lehman prize hartman green magazine summer14 peter durantine david schuyler david schuyler for 35 years professor david schuyler has challenged his students at franklin marshall to view the subjects of culture and history from multiple perspectives he takes that same approach as a researcher and writer a scholarly method that has earned schuyler the herbert h lehman prize for distinguished scholarship in new york from the new york academy of history at columbia university his alma mater the honor recognizes schuyler s 2012 book sanctified landscape writers artists and the hudson river valley 1820 1909 and is the third prize the volume has won named for the governor who served the empire state in the 1930s and early 1940s the award aligns with the new york academy s mission to promote and honor outstanding historical research and writing the academy s director kenneth jackson presented the award this spring at a dinner at manhattan s century club it s especially touching because he was co director of my dissertation and has been a close friend for many years schuyler said of jackson it was great to share that moment with him schuyler f m s arthur and katherine shadek professor of humanities and american studies and a founding trustee of the academy is a native of the hudson valley city of newburgh n y he grew up on tales of the subjects of his book hudson river school painter thomas cole writer washington irving and landscape designer andrew jackson downing many have written of these figures but mr schuyler brings them to life in engaging ways and with fresh insights reads the lehman prize citation he never loses sight of the fact that these artists and writers not only rendered the hudson river valley for generations of americans but also shaped their perception of it","searchSummary":" \n\n\n\nFor 35 years, Professor David Schuyler has challenged his students at Franklin & Marshall to view the subjects of culture and history from multiple perspectives.\n\n\n\nHe takes that same approach as a researcher and writer, a scholarly method that has earned Schuyler the Herbert H.

Defensively, Pat Andrews ’14 capped off his career by catching 29 base runners stealing, a program record.
\n
\n \r\n

Golf

\r\nThe men’s golf team claimed its fifth conference title in seven years as Dave Gilbert ’14, Brad Lankler ’17 (pictured) and Robert Svigals ’15 finished in a three-way tie for first to become the first tri-champions in CC history. Lankler, who led the team in scoring average (75.5), was named CC Rookie of the Year, and Andy Tompos was named Coach of the Year. The Diplomats finished 26th out of 41 teams at the NCAA Tournament.
\n
\nThe women put together their best finish at the North American Women’s Golf Challenge, hosted by Ursinus, where they totaled 427 to finish second. Kathleen Smith ’16 snagged third place at the event, and F&M concluded its spring campaign with a fourth-place showing at the CC Championships.

“Revertigo: An Off-Kilter Memoir”

\r\nFloyd Skloot ’69
\n
\nFloyd Skloot was struck inexplicably one morning by an attack of unrelenting vertigo that ended 138 days later as suddenly as it had begun. Everything familiar had transformed, and nothing was ever still. This intimate memoir—tenuous, shifting, sometimes humorous—demonstrates Skloot’s considerable literary skill honed as an award-winning essayist, memoirist, novelist, and poet. His recollections of a strange, spinning world prompt further musings on the forces of uncertainty, change, and displacement that have shaped him from childhood to late middle age, repeatedly knocking him awry, realigning his hopes and plans, even his perceptions.

The book breaks new ground with findings from the only known dataset of electoral violence in sub-Saharan Africa, spanning 1990 to 2008. (United States Institute of Peace, 2012)

\r\nJohn Bowman, Ph.D., ’74

\nHow different would Americans’ lives be if they had guaranteed access to health care, generous public pensions, paid family leave, high-quality public pre-school care, increased rights at work, and a greater say in how corporations are run? This book compares the U.S., Swedish and German versions of capitalism, examining health policy, pension policy, family policy, labor markets and corporate governance. (CQ Press, 2013)

“Medicine for Monster”

\r\nAdrianna Ahern Donat ’91
\n
\nTaking medicine might not be fun, but “Medicine for Monster” makes it funny. Being sick has transformed a little boy into a monster, and this monster doesn’t want to take the medicine that could make him feel better. His uproarious journey through the why and why not to take his medicine is a delightfully illustrated, energetic and colorful romp. (Mango Donut, 2013)

“Dirt”

\r\nTony Doris ’78

“Think Tanks in America”

\r\nThomas Medvetz ’98
\n
\nOver the past half-century, think tanks have become fixtures of American politics, supplying advice to presidents and policymakers, expert testimony on Capitol Hill, and convenient facts and figures to journalists and media specialists. But what are think tanks? Who funds them? What kind of “research” do they produce? Where does their authority come from? And how did they become influential? Thomas Medvetz argues that the unsettling ambiguity of the think tank is not an accidental feature of its existence, but the very key to its impact. (University Of Chicago Press, 2012)

That is unusual for the author, who has always felt more at home in the larger world of Western and Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, India, the Middle and Far East, North Africa, and Central America.

“Deadly Fantasy: A Baseball Story”

\r\nAndrew Wolfenson, Esq., ’88
\n
\nMore than 33 million people in the United States participate in fantasy baseball or football leagues, which are a $2 billion per year industry. Some take their participation in such fantasy leagues more seriously than others, suspending reality as they try to fulfill their dreams of serving as a major league owner or general manager. For Jeff Goldstein, however, this is not just a game; participation in the league takes over his life. (Balding Legal Publishing, 2014)
