A Note on the Origin of Real Estate in Collegiate Schools of Business Administration

In recent years real estate faculty in collegiate schools of business administration have raised the question of the purpose and direction of their courses, often seeking the underlying theoretical discipline that would make the study of real estate respectable (Diaz, 1993). The purpose of this paper is to review the origins of collegiate courses in real estate so that we can better understand why they are as they are. Perhaps by doing this, we can more clearly see how to improve them in order to provide the best collegiate real estate education for the next generation.

The Promise of ARES: A Past AREUEA President's Perspective

The promise of ARES is that it provides a forum in its annual sessions and publications for research and teaching materials on managerial decisionmaking aspects of real estate. It offers an environment at annual meetings for the active participation of all members, and a way of networking on all sorts of issues real estate faculty may be faced with at their own colleges or universities.

A Target Restricted Assembly Method (TRAM) for Phylogenomics

While next generation sequencing technology can produce sequences covering the entire genome, assembly and annotation are still prohibitive steps for many phylogenomics applications. Here we describe a method of Target Restricted Assembly (TRAM) of a single lane of Illumina sequences for genes of relevance to phylogeny reconstruction, i.e. single copy protein-coding genes. This method has the potential to produce a data set of hundreds of genes using only one Illumina lane per taxon

Father Richardson and the Mission in Kenya

After his generalate, James Richardson chose to join the Midwest Province in the United States because it was likely to accept a mission in Kenya, and he had a profound interest in that. He went to Kenya on the province’s behalf to investigate the mission, was instrumental in the province’s acceptance of it, and served there himself. Hugh O’Donnell discusses Richardson’s devotion to the mission
