Title: Cornell: Glorious to View Authors: Kammen, Carol; LeFeber, Walter (Foreword) Abstract: The steep hills and dramatic gorges of Ithaca were the setting for a revolution in American education when, in the 1860s, a self-made man sought "to do the most good . . . to the poor and to posterity." Ezra Cornell's philanthropy, enhanced with funds from the Morrill Land Grant Act and enlarged by the vision of educator Andrew Dickson White, created what has been called the first American university - a modern, democratic, research-oriented institution open to young men and women of all creeds and races. Reflecting the ideas of its founders, Cornell University has combined the industrial science and technology of America with the humanism of Athens to serve both the individual and society. In her concise, generously illustrated account of Cornell, Carol Kammen places that bold vision in its nineteenth-century context - a time when higher education was restricted to a privileged few. Now the university enters the twenty-first century as an institution of international stature and a leader in educational opportunity. Kammen, a noted local historian and lecturer in history at Cornell, tells the story of this great university with verve. Highlighting the text are excerpts from important documents and images from archives in the Cornell Library's Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, selected by Susette Newberry, a Cornell archivist specializing in photography and media studies. Together, words and images illustrate the growth of the university, the origins of its famous schools and colleges, and its enduring commitment to excellence in education. About the AuthorCarol Kammen is Senior Lecturer in History at Cornell University. She is the author of several books, including Plain as a Pipestem: Essays about Local History and Lives Passed: Biographical Sketches from Central New York. She is also editor of The Pursuit of Local History and coeditor of The Encyclopedia of Local History. Walter LaFeber is Marie Underhill Noll Professor of American History at Cornell University, where he has taught since 1959. His many books include The New Empire: An Interpretation of American Expansion, 1860-1898 (also from Cornell), Michael Jordan and the New Global Capitalism, and The Clash: U.S. Relations with Japan from the 1850s to the Present.

Title: Les meditations de la vie du Christ. Traduites en fracais par Henry de Riancey. Authors: Bonaventure, Saint Abstract: St. Bonaventure is proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by the Roman Catholic Church. He was Cardinal-Bishop of Albano, Minister General of the Friars Minor, born at Bagnorea in the vicinity of Viterbo in 1221; died at Lyons, 16 July, 1274. Bonaventure's theological writings may be classed under four heads: dogmatic, mystic, exegetical, and homiletic. Only a small part of Bonaventure's writings is properly mystical. These are characterized by brevity and by a faithful adherence to the teaching of the Gospel. Perhaps the best known of Bonaventure's other mystical and ascetical writings is a series of forty-eight devout meditations on the life of Christ.

Title: Heaven and its wonders and hell : from things heard and seen Authors: Swedenborg, Emanuel Abstract: Emmanuel Swedenborg's most famous work is a description of the many heavens and hells that make up the great 18th-century thinker's cosmology, at once perfectly logical and perfectly eccentric. Swedenborg's afterworld is a kind of reflection and amplification of our own, and his vision of moving and active collective of heavens, occupied by the very real blessed dead, has been a tremendous influence on Goethe, Emerson, and Jorge Luis Borges, among many others.
