Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard College Class of 1872: Tenth Report of the Secretary, 1912-1917 But we still have left only two less than half our number, and our children far outnumber the original membership of the Class. We have reached the stage when we are looking perhaps with greater pride and interest on the achievements of our descendants than upon our own, and in the replies to the Secretary's circular there was a manifest tendency shown to dwell upon the former. In the war, in which we also as a nation are now involved, sev eral of our sons are already taking an active military part, and it will be found in the following pages that one at least of our num ber bears a military rank, and many more are undoubtedly doing their part, even if our records at present do not show it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book German Social Democracy 1905 1917 written by Carl E. Schorske and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1955 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No political parties of present-day Germany are separated by a wider gulf than the two parties of labor, one democratic and reformist, the other totalitarian and socialist-revolutionary. Social Democrats and Communists today face each other as bitter political enemies across the front lines of the Cold War; yet they share a common origin in the Social Democratic Party of Imperial Germany. How did they come to go separate ways? By what process did the old party break apart? How did the prewar party prepare the ground for the dissolution of the labor movement in World War I, and for the subsequent extension of Leninism into Germany? To answer these questions is the purpose of Carl Schorske's study.
Download or read book Freedom Struggles written by Adriane Lentz-Smith and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many of the 200,000 black soldiers sent to Europe with the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, encounters with French civilians and colonial African troops led them to imagine a world beyond Jim Crow. They returned home to join activists working to make that world real. In narrating the efforts of African American soldiers and activists to gain full citizenship rights as recompense for military service, Adriane Lentz-Smith illuminates how World War I mobilized a generation. Black and white soldiers clashed as much with one another as they did with external enemies. Race wars within the military and riots across the United States demonstrated the lengths to which white Americans would go to protect a carefully constructed caste system. Inspired by Woodrow Wilson’s rhetoric of self-determination but battered by the harsh realities of segregation, African Americans fought their own “war for democracy,” from the rebellions of black draftees in French and American ports to the mutiny of Army Regulars in Houston, and from the lonely stances of stubborn individuals to organized national campaigns. African Americans abroad and at home reworked notions of nation and belonging, empire and diaspora, manhood and citizenship. By war’s end, they ceased trying to earn equal rights and resolved to demand them. This beautifully written book reclaims World War I as a critical moment in the freedom struggle and places African Americans at the crossroads of social, military, and international history.

Download or read book The Passions in Play written by Alessandro Schiesaro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to the most important of Seneca's tragedies, Thyestes, which has had a notable influence on Western drama from Shakespeare to Antonin Artaud. Thyestes emerges as the mastertext of 'Silver' Latin poetry, and as an original reflection on the nature of theatre comparable to Euripides' Bacchae. The book analyses the complex structure of the play, its main themes, the relationship between Seneca's vibrant style and his obsession with dark issues of revenge and regression. Substantial discussion of other plays - especially Trojan Women, Oedipus and Medea - permits a comprehensive re-evaluation of Seneca's poetics and its pivotal role in post-Virgilian literature. Topics explored include the relationship between Seneca's plays and his theory of the emotions, the connection between poetic inspiration and the Underworld, and Seneca's treatment of time, which, in a perspective informed by psychoanalysis, is seen as a central preoccupation of Senecan tragedy.
Download or read book The War as Viewed at the University written by University of Utah and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War as Viewed at the University: Selections From Addresses and Papers by Members of the Teaching Staff During the Summer of 1917 From one point of view it is a difficult task to talk on international peace, arbitration, and conciliation when almost all the world is at war. On the other hand there is perhaps no time when the value of peace and: the things upon which it depends can be so much appreciated as in the midst of or immediately following a great, destructive war. It is easy now to see of what great benefit to humanity arbitration and conciliation might have been had all the political leaders of the world only the sense of justice and humanity to employ these means of settlement instead of resorting to military force. America, in its isolation from the military establishments of Europe, has cultivated the aims of an industrial democ racy, and with these aims has nursed a feeling of security even while the old world was torn with strife. We have scarcely yet realized that we are actually at war and that in the next few months may be required to make enormous sacrifices in human life and in the material goods that sup port life. The time for argument as to whether we should or should not participate in the war is past. The present is a time for carefully planned but nevertheless most strenuous action. There is and always must be a limit to individual ism. In a democracy every citizen may freely advocate his opinion while any matter is pending for decision; but when a 'decision has been made by the will of the majority, and when the life of the nation is at stake, as it must be in war fare, the citizen is in duty bound to do his part to protect that common life. To prolong the discussion is to give aid and comfort to the enemy and weakens the defensive powers of the nation. There is, fortunately, little excuse for any peace-loving American citizen to continue his opposition to our participation in the war.
