The University of Nebraska College of Nursing, 1917-1987

The University of Nebraska College of Nursing celebrates the 70th anniversary of its founding this year, 1987. The publication of this history is long overdue. No attempt has been made to record or interpret every event, or to include the names of all who have made contributions to the College. Some details of early events have been lost or have become indistinct with the passing of time. Few writers can hope to secure approval from all readers; I hope that the majority of those who read this history will appreciate the heritage of the College and its impact on nursing and nursing education. This history is dedicated to students, alumni, and faculty - past, present, and future. This volume is the culmination of years of effort by many people with a deep interest in the College of Nursing. Special thanks are due to students, faculty, and alumni for their foresight in preserving the materials used to compile this history. My effort to write the history began in 1981 with the encouragement of the College of Nursing Alumni Association and donations of money and memorabilia from many individual alumni members. Rosalee Yeaworth, Dean of the College of Nursing, and the administration of the University lent their support by providing funds in 1982 and by approving a sabbatical leave in 1984. Dean Yeaworth has been a source of encouragement throughout the project and wrote the original draft of the chapter related to her years as Dean. Regina Tangney Barentson made major contributions by locating and compiling materials and writing the original drafts of the Burgess and Kyle chapters. Her knowledge of nursing and nursing education was invaluable in placing events in a broad historical perspective, and I am indebted to her for her assistance. Thank you to Ann Gray for typing and retyping the manuscript; to Pete Boughn for editorial assistance; to Reba Benschoter and the staff of the Biomedical Communications Department for editorial and production assistance; to Walt Allen and the staff of the Print Shop for expert advice and a finished product. Finally, a sincere thank you to those who have nourished my love for nursing and dedication to the College of Nursing and the University of Nebraska Medical Center for the past 31 years - my classmates and instructors, my students, my faculty peers, and my nurse and physician colleagues.

Mammeri Mouloud (1917-1987) : l’écrivain

Mouloud Mammeri est né le 28 décembre 1917 à Taourirt-Mimoun, chez les Aït-Yenni, en Grande Kabylie. Son père était titulaire du certificat d’études et parlait assez bien le français pour réciter Victor Hugo et Bourdaloue ; il était l’amin du village. Sa langue maternelle, comme celle de Mouloud Feraoun, est le kabyle. Il apprit le français à l’école primaire de son village, construite en 1883. « Je me souviens, dit-il, que j’allais à l’école pieds nus dans la neige ». Feraoun faisait la même..

Guide to the Sgt. William E. Smith Collection, 1943-1946, 1952

William E. Smith (1917-1987) rose in rank from private to sergeant while serving 22 months in the European Theater during World War II. He oversaw the tactical employment and coordination of a team in charge of a 155mm gun (howitzer) in the “C” Battery, 174th Field Artillery Battalion of the United States Army. During the war the battalion, along with Smith, saw action in Normandy, the Rhineland, Northern France, Central Germany, and the Ardennes. His battalion was connected to General Patton’s 3rd Army that liberated Luxembourg and fought at the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Silver Service Star for participation in the Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe, Normandy, Northern France and Rhineland Campaigns. The collection contains both archival material and artifacts relating to the European Theater during World War II. Some of the artifacts were taken from Nazi occupied positions and brought back to the States for remembrance purposes. Material in the collection represents the areas William E. Smith traveled through while part of the 174th Field Artillery Battalion that landed at Normandy and cut through France on its way to Germany

Families of short cycles on Riemannian surfaces

Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian surface of genus $g$. We construct a family of 1-cycles on $M$ that represents a non-trivial element of the k'th homology group of the space of cycles and such that the mass of each cycle is bounded above by $C \max\{\sqrt{k}, \sqrt{g}\} \sqrt{Area(M)}$. This result is optimal up to a multiplicative constant.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures. Exposition improved, to appear in Duke Mathematical Journa
