{"title":"Boise State College","authors":"R. W. Chatterton","doi":"10.1353/RMR.1968.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/RMR.1968.0005","url":null,"abstract":"When Boise College becomes a state-supported senior college on January 1, 1969, it will officially adopt the tide of Boise State College. Established as Boise Junior College in 1932, the institution rapidly expanded upon a 110-acre campus along the Boise River in Idaho's capital city, and in 1965 the state authorized the college to add upper division courses leading to the B.A. degree. In 1967 the legislature made the institution a part of the state system which had long supported Idaho State University and the University of Idaho. An institution serving nearly 6,000 students, the new state college comprises four schools of instruction: School of Business and Public Administration, School of Arts and Sciences, School of Education, and Vocational Technical Education and Area Vocational School. Its president is Dr. John B. Barnes. The general staff includes 310 persons, 225 of whom are teachers and administrators. Sixty-one faculty members possess the earned doctorate, and 104 have the master's degree. A five-million dollar building program has been initiated, with the beginning of actual construction planned for the spring of 1969. The first phase will consist of a high-rise classroom-office building, a 20,000 capacity stadium with physical education facilities, and a vocational-technical building. At present, there are twenty faculty members in the department of English and five in foreign languages and linguistics. With the recent appointment of Dr. William Klatte as professor of linguistics, however, the Humanities Division plans considerable expansion of the offerings in linguistics. Dr. Klatte comes to Boise State from the University of Alberta at Edmonton, where he instituted a linguistics program. The new chairman of the English department is Dr. John A. Bareness, a Western American literature scholar, who comes from a position at Montana State University. He has assumed the administrative post previously held by Professor J. Roy Schwartz, who returned to full time teaching after heading the department during the school's last years as Boise Junior College and throughout its development as Boise College. Other senior appointments in the department of English are Dr. R. Wayne Chatterton, longtime professor of nineteenth and twentieth century literature and comparative literature at The College of Idaho, and Dr. Eunice E. Wallace, formerly of District of Columbia Teacher's College, who is a specialist in English education. Dr. Barsness, Dr. Chatterton, and Professor Alan Crooks have long been members of the Rocky Mountain Modem Language Association, and they, along with the entire staff, welcome this opportunity to announce the entry of Boise State College into the large family of state colleges and universities in the Rocky Mountain area. —From R.

Johnson","doi":"10.1353/RMR.1974.0013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/RMR.1974.0013","url":null,"abstract":"Chaucer's artistic purpose in adapting Nicholas Trivet's Life of Constance remains an open critical question. Critics have agreed unanimously that Chaucer's version of the story is superior in aesdietic terms, but the question of what constitutes these apparent qualitative improvements has been answered only in a very general, unsatisfactory way.1 At the risk of losing the broader perspective of a \"reading\" of The Man of Law's Tale as a whole, I will focus here on one aspect of Chaucer's unique redaction. Chaucer's use of Trivet's miracles reveals anodier instance of his originality and poignant tentativeness in transforming an \"olde boke\" into new Chaucerian art. The keynote of Chaucer's originality is his empirical oudook and his corresponding interest in human psychology and, specifically, in die problem of human knowledge. In Chaucer's hands, die didactic certainty of saint's legend is transformed into aesdietic ineffability. To evaluate a poetic adaptation is to face a singular problem. One must account for not only apparent differences of taste and insight, but also for die complex aesdietic attitude—what Lounsbury called the \"personal equation\"2—supporting and informing them. I have chosen die miracles for extended comment because, first of all, diey reveal crucial moments of diematic intention in both Trivet and Chaucer, if in very different ways. Furthermore, since Chaucer consistendy carries over the general framework of character and incident in Trivet's story, an evaluative comparison gives us a sharper view of what is distinct in Chaucer's version beyond die literal repetition of names and incidents.3 We can glimpse something of the \"deep structure\" of Chaucer's poetry.","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116097056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

J. Rousseau. It was, after all, Rousseau who was twice caricatured by the theater of the time as walking on all-fours while munching a head of lettuce.' Though it is true that Rousseau did use an idealized state of nature-a fleeting moment prior to organized society when individuals living in isolation enjoyed perfect equality and total freedom-as a starting point for his politico-economic theories,2 he does not, and perhaps never has, deserved his reputation as noble savagery's most eloquent or persistent champion. Rousseau's state of nature and its virtuous inhabitants were a purely theoretical concept, unsupported by an empirical data, and in fact resembled no savage society then actually existing or which had ever existed. Modem anthropology would almost certainly dispute Rousseau's assumption that any creature which could properly be called \"human\" had ever lived in total isolation. Guillaume Raynal, though himself unversed in the as-yet-unfounded science of anthropology, did question this","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127962761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
