Excerpt from The Dickinson Dart, 1925 Dickinson Seminary has offered you the opportunity of increasing your circle of friends and developing an understanding and appreciation of friendship. She has undertaken to teach you how to study and to see the relation between books and life, between school days and the days that follow. She has sought to widen your horizons and thus to enlarge your capacities both for happiness and service. She has sought to interpret life and to help you to see, to love and to seek after the good, the beautiful, the true. She has hoped to awake in each of you a consciousness of self - both your powers and your limitations - and in that way help you to find your place in the world. She has tried to motivate you in such a way as to cause you to bring all those acquisitions and opportunities under tribute to a great purpose which will direct your energies and powers to noble achievements. Dickinson Seminary has sought to make your School Days mean all this and more. How well she has succeeded time will tell.

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.

To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely.

The 20th-anniversary edition of Kelley’s influential history of 20th-century Black radicalism, with new reflections on current movements and their impact on the author, and a foreword by poet Aja Monet First published in 2002, Freedom Dreams is a staple in the study of the Black radical tradition. Unearthing the thrilling history of grassroots movements and renegade intellectuals and artists, Kelley recovers the dreams of the future worlds Black radicals struggled to achieve. Focusing on the insights of activists, from the Revolutionary Action Movement to the insurgent poetics of Aimé and Suzanne Césaire, Kelley chronicles the quest for a homeland, the hope that communism offered, the politics of surrealism, the transformative potential of Black feminism, and the long dream of reparations for slavery and Jim Crow. In this edition, Kelley includes a new introduction reflecting on how movements of the past 20 years have expanded his own vision of freedom to include mutual care, disability justice, abolition, and decolonization, and a new epilogue exploring the visionary organizing of today’s freedom dreamers. This classic history of the power of the Black radical imagination is as timely as when it was first published.
