Letter counting: a stem cell for Cryptology, Quantitative Linguistics, and Statistics

Counting letters in written texts is a very ancient practice. It has accompanied the development of Cryptology, Quantitative Linguistics, and Statistics. In Cryptology, counting frequencies of the different characters in an encrypted message is the basis of the so called frequency analysis method. In Quantitative Linguistics, the proportion of vowels to consonants in different languages was studied long before authorship attribution. In Statistics, the alternation vowel-consonants was the only example that Markov ever gave of his theory of chained events. A short history of letter counting is presented. The three domains, Cryptology, Quantitative Linguistics, and Statistics, are then examined, focusing on the interactions with the other two fields through letter counting. As a conclusion, the eclectism of past centuries scholars, their background in humanities, and their familiarity with cryptograms, are identified as contributing factors to the mutual enrichment process which is described here

The use of John Adams as a historical character 1789--1874

John Adams was central to the founding of the United States and has held enduring interest among many generations including his own. The foundation of Adams as a historical character was constructed both by people he interacted with personally and by the turmoil of politics, casting him in roles with conflicting results. After his death, Adams was placed in a variety of roles as a historical character as people struggled to make sense of the contentious decades leading up and including the Civil War. After the Civil War, a more sophisticated warts and all portrayal of John Adams as a historical character as American historical identity was reexamined. The ways Adams was constructed and used as a historical character illuminates issues surrounding cultural history, historiography and conceptualization of the American Revolution by historians. That use also highlights recent interest in John Adams

Proclaiming Emancipation

Program for Proclaiming Emancipation, held October 15 2012 - February 18 2013. This was a combination exhibit and symposium. Martha S. Jones and Clayton Lewis were Curators. As we approach the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, commemorations can be a site for complex and nuanced reflections. They can also sanitize a messy past, making it palatable for popular consumption. Proclaiming Emancipation confronts myths with history. Oftentimes competing voices proclaim that no longer does Proclamation stand as an exceptional moment from the U.S. past. Instead, we understand January 1, 1863 as being situated on a timeline that stretches from the American Revolution of the 1770s to Brazil\u27s abolition in 1888. That Proclamation signed in Washington, D.C., is set in a geography that extends from the Rio de la Plata in the South to the Saint Laurent River in the North. The Emancipation Proclamation is not a sacred text with a fixed and transcendent meaning. Instead, it is a ground of contestation over core principles. Abraham Lincoln is not a great emancipator. Instead, Lincoln is but one character in an elaborate national drama. Still, to encounter the Proclamation is awesome as one student put it, as in awe-inspiring. Even as historians continue to layer ambiguity and complexity onto the story of slavery\u27s abolition in the United States, the Proclamation remains an enduring touchstone. It has the capacity to draw record-breaking crowds and stop students in their tracks as they busily cross the campus. Proclaiming Emancipation harnesses the power of myth in the service of telling history, recognizing all the while that in the story of slavery and emancipation, the two are ever intertwined
