    Andean Lupinus Dr. Colin Hughes of the University of Oxford, UK, the 2001 Rupert Barneby awardee, visited the New York Botanical Garden from 5-21 February to work on Andean Lupinus (Fabaceae). A research seminar entitled, "Systematics of Leucaena (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae): fieldwork, morphology and molecules," was presented during the visit. In addition to the two and a half weeks at NY, short visits also were made to the Bailey Hortorium, Cornell University in Ithaca and to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Current knowledge of diversity within Lupinus remains fragmentary. The majority of species are native to western North America and the Andes in South America, with 12 species around the Mediterranean. Systematic investigation has concentrated on geographically delimited studies of Old World, North American, Argentinian, and the Brazilian unifoliolate species. The Andean and Mexican species remain poorly known. Geographic focus rather than monographic synthesis has resulted in a proliferation of supposed species. Two-thirds of the circa 1800 names were proposed by Smith in his Species Lupinorum - a series of 44 local or country treatments dismissed as fundamentally flawed by subsequent workers. The actual number of distinct species remains to be determined, but is probably 200-300 although even recent estimates vary from 150 to 600.

    Mina Rees and the Funding of the Mathematical Sciences
    by Amy E. Shell-Gellasch
    aa7423@usma.edu

    Federal support for research in the mathematical sciences in the United States was essentially developed during the Second World War and the years immediately following. Through her work on the Applied Mathematics Panel during the war, mathematician Mina Rees (1902-1997) was instrumental in facilitating scientific research for the war effort. As Head of the Mathematical Sciences Division and Deputy Science Director of the Office of Naval Research following the war, she helped revolutionize the form and scope of federal support of scientific research, and guided much of the development of early computers. She was dedicated to creating an environment in the United States in which the sciences, and mathematics in particular, grew and flourished.

    English 795.00 Introduction to Literary Scholarship Professor David Richter Fall 2003 Thursdays, 2:00 to 4:00 pm Syllabus This course takes up questions both practical and theoretical about what it means to do scholarship in the discipline of "English." Theoretically, we consider what it means to study a national language and literature that has become global in its reach; we examine the boundaries of the discipline, how it intersects with but also is differentiated from other disciplines and interdisciplinary fields; we consider how varied theories of language, text, narrative, poetics, author, psyche, society, culture, history, identity, politics (etc.) define, in sometimes complementary but also sometimes contradictory ways, the discipline. Practically, we take up the question of how we define objects of inquiry within "English" studies, how we research such topics, how we identify the main debates currently circulating around them, how we develop new knowledge - in sum, we consider nitty-gritty questions crucial to pursuing graduate and professional work in literary scholarship. The course follows four main lines of inquiry, examining: 1) archival and bibliographical work, 2) concepts of textuality

The book is an important contribution to the history of women in the military during WWII, a subject that has received otherwise scant attention to date. Williams relates the initial reluctance on the part of the navy (and the rest of the armed forces for that matter) to admit women into service. Additionally, once it was agreed to let women serve, it was generally expected that they would only be assigned to clerical work or nursing detail. With the overall shortage of personnel, however, it became apparent that more women needed to be hired in technical and skilled areas in some part to replace the men who were called into armed combat. It was for that reason plus a willingness to join in the war effort that these four women elected to apply their expertise and meet the challenges of military service. For there was certainly no guarantee that their efforts would be either recognized or rewarded after the war ended.

    AUGUST 1996
    At the height of the summer vacation season, August is traditionally a "slow" month, but in terms of computer-related anniversaries it is not without its highlights, not to mention the birthdays of some of our pioneers. The dedication was to take place on Monday, 7 August 1944. The Harvard News Office, in close consultation with Aiken prepared a news release for the occasion, headed "World's greatest mathematical calculator" followed by the bold unqualified statement that: "In charge of the activity ... is the inventor, Commander Howard H. Aiken, U.S.N.R", who "worked out the theory which made the machine possible". It is said that when Thomas J. Watson first saw the news story, he became so irate that he even planned to return to New York without attending either the ceremonial luncheon or the formal dedication ceremonies. Fortunately he had sufficient manners to call his intended hosts, and gave them the opportunity to persuade him to stay, which he did, and performed his part in the ceremonies magnificently. However this was the start of a rift between the university and IBM that lasted many years. As great a contribution to the development of computers as was the Harvard Mark I (ASCC), Aiken and Watson never really resolved their differences, Aiken refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement some years later when Watson's son provided the opportunity to make amends by hiring Aiken as a consultant. The IBM ASCC or the Harvard Mark I was the first of a series of four computers associated with Howard Aiken. Mark I and
