Excerpt from The Dickinson Dart, 1923 Dart, the Class of Twenty - Three was prompted by two major motives: to create a picfture of our stay in Dickinson which would be the source of many pleasant memories, and in doing so to produce a year - book which would really be worthy of the school it represents. Fl The task, though pleasant, has not been an easy one, and we are quite conscious of having fallen far short of our mark. If however, by our example we have estab lished a precedent whereby some succeed ing class will publish a yearbook which will be an adequate tribute to their days in Dickinson, we shall consider our efforts well worth while.

Excerpt from The Dickinson Dart, 1924 HE aim of this book is to record in perma nent form the. More important phases and incidents of our class in relation to Seminary life. Whether we have succeeded in fulfilling this task remains to be solved by the future. If, in some far off future year, you shall take from some dusty shelf, this book, and if as you turn its musty pages over with sacred care there will arise before you the memories of happy years spent here, our feeble efforts shall have been rewarded. Many dear friends have been made while living on the campus of old Dickinson, and'in parting, these friends may be far distant from us. But their influence leaves a lasting impression for good on our lives, and if we can but recall a few of these to your memory, our purpose will have been achieved. We, therefore, present to the students of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary this second volume of The Dart - the fruition of our labor and pleasure-a memoir of the class of '24 and a perpetuation of its accomplishments.

Walt Whitman "is America," according to Ezra Pound. More than a century after his death, Whitman's name regularly appears in political speeches, architectural inscriptions, television programs, and films, and it adorns schools, summer camps, truck stops, corporate centers, and shopping malls. In an analysis of Whitman as a quintessential American icon, Kenneth Price shows how his ubiquity and his extraordinarily malleable identity have contributed to the ongoing process of shaping the character of the United States. Price examines Whitman's own writings as well as those of writers who were influenced by him, paying particular attention to Whitman's legacies for an ethnically and sexually diverse America. He focuses on fictional works by Edith Wharton, D. H. Lawrence, John Dos Passos, Ishmael Reed, and Gloria Naylor, among others. In Price's study, Leaves of Grass emerges as a living document accruing meanings that evolve with time and with new readers, with Whitman and his words regularly pulled into debates over immigration, politics, sexuality, and national identity. As Price demonstrates, Whitman is a recurring starting point, a provocation, and an irresistible, rewritable text for those who reinvent the icon in their efforts to remake America itself.

In 1683, an Ottoman army that stretched from horizon to horizon set out to seize the "Golden Apple," as Turks referred to Vienna. The ensuing siege pitted battle-hardened Janissaries wielding seventeenth-century grenades against Habsburg armies, widely feared for their savagery. The walls of Vienna bristled with guns as the besieging Ottoman host launched bombs, fired cannons, and showered the populace with arrows during the battle for Christianity's bulwark. Each side was sustained by the hatred of its age-old enemy, certain that victory would be won by the grace of God. The Great Siege of Vienna is the centerpiece for historian Andrew Wheatcroft's richly drawn portrait of the centuries-long rivalry between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires for control of the European continent. A gripping work by a master historian, The Enemy at the Gate offers a timely examination of an epic clash of civilizations.
