Tacitus and Roman Britain: with special reference to de vita Agricolae.

In order to understand the writings of Tacitus which deal with Roman Britain we need to know something of his ideas expressed in the totality of his verbs and also correlate them with our knowledge of Roman Britain derived from other sources, including archaeology and provincial administration. Section 1 deals with Tacitus the man and his ideas: - his origins probably in an equestrian family living in Gallia Narbonensis; his rise in the senatorial order to high office and acquisition of a great reputation as an orator. It was a great career which spanned the “terror” of Domition and the coup which brought Trojan to power. These events worked his spirit. In the midst of these times he turned to historical writing, which proved to be a suitable vehicle for the expression of his ideas. Section 2 examines the Agricolae, the subject of which was his own father in law. It is something of a “tract for the tired” as well as a guide to successful governorship, which might not get the rewards that might have been expected. Agricola must be seen, however, within the context of provincial administration, and the senatorial cursus, both of which are examined. Section 3 studies Tacitus’s references to the geography, anthropology and ethnography of Britain, our dependence on this material continues to be great (except in the matter of geography). Section 4 reviews the material covering the province before the accession of Vespasian. Section 5 studies the province under the Flavians up to the recall of Agricola, with an examination of the fate of northern conquests. Tacitus remains our principle literary source for the history of the province. Archaeology sheds light on matters where Tacitus is silent or where his text has been lost; but for the most part wherever Tacitus can be checked by such remains or from other sources his essential veracity is vindicated

The Presidential Succession Act at 75 | The Relationship Between the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment

These remarks were delivered as part of the program entitled The Presidential Succession Act at 75: Praise It or Bury It?, which was held on April 6, 2022, and hosted by the Fordham University School of Law. The Presidential Succession Act sets out the presidential line of succession and other procedures for situations in which the president and vice president have both died, resigned, been removed, or become unable to discharge the presidency’s powers and duties. The Act also addresses succession scenarios before Inauguration Day. In light of the statute’s seventy-fifth anniversary, this program explored relevant history and analyzed whether reform to the statute is needed. In these remarks, John Rogan, a Senior Fellow at Fordham Law School, considers the relationship between the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 and the Constitution’s Twenty-Fifth Amendment, including how the provisions complement each other and how they are at odds

Reforms for Presidential Candidate Death and Inability: From the Conventions to Inauguration Day

The 2020 presidential election involved several significant threats to the health and safety of the candidates. But dangers to presidential candidates and presidents-elect have been present before. Despite previous candidate vacancies and near misses, the procedures for how to address many of these contingencies have shortcomings. Some scenarios are left unaddressed. The policies for other situations might be difficult to use or could result in undemocratic outcomes. This Article discusses possible reforms for addressing disability or death of presidential candidates from the time they are nominated at their political parties’ conventions to when they are sworn into office on Inauguration Day

Get Your Shirts At Moody’s! Samuel Nadin Moody: Advertising Genius in New Orleans, 1848 to 1874

Mid-nineteenth century immigrant to New Orleans and businessman, Samuel Nadin Moody, leveraged the tools of the market revolution to pioneer advertisement with innovation and flamboyance to sell men’s clothing, specifically men’s shirts of his own manufacture. Through over saturation of billboards, a massive, sustained, and creative newspaper advertising campaign, and the invention—and careful curation of—a personal brand, Moody thrived in the era’s volatile marketplace. This micro-history peers into this impressive success story enjoyed by a singular individual

ISER Working Paper, no. 2015/3

This study attempts to link schooling, demographic, socio-economic and academic factors to firstchoice degree completion and labour market outcomes. More specifically, this study investigates those factors that are most directly associated with whether the degrees that university graduates obtain reflect their first qualification choices, and also examines the effects of those factors and degree types on labour market outcomes. The remainder of the paper is structured as follows. The next section reviews the literature on the transition from schooling to higher education in South Africa with a particular focus on programme choice, followed by the recent literature on graduate employment and unemployment, and the broad findings of the graduate tracer studies which have been conducted in South Africa to date. Section three describes the graduate tracer study design and the analysis upon which the empirical section of the paper is based. In section four, the results of the descriptive statistics and a multivariate analysis are presented in two parts. Finally, section five discusses the results and reflects on the implications for higher education in South Africa

Technology Transfer in Forest Pest Management: A Case History

The current approach being used in the spruce budworm technology transfer program for the Lake States is described. During 1981-1982, we concentrated on needs assessment surveys and the development and packaging of materials in five areas: general manual, chemical control handbook, silviculture handbook, instruction manual for remote sensing workshops, and technical reports on budworm impact on spruce-fir stands. We present a list of factors that researchers and technology transfer specialists should consider when plan- ning a research and technology transfer program in forest pest management

An Anniversary Best Uncelebrated: The 75th Year of the Presidential Succession Act of 1947

On July 18, 1947, President Harry Truman signed the Presidential Succession Act into law. The 1947 Act placed the Speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore in the presidential line of succession. Seventy-five years later, the statute needs major revision. Although the 1947 Act has not been used, the nation’s good fortune may change at any moment, especially given ever-present threats to the health and safety of the president and vice president. This Article argues that Congress should revise the 1947 law in several ways, most notably by making Cabinet secretaries, in most circumstances, the immediate successors to the presidency after the vice president
