The life of Henry Eyring

In this era of blurring boundaries between various disciplines of science and technology, Henry Eyring stands tall as one of the earliest examples. Starting with a degree in mining, to becoming one of the greatest theoretical chemists ever; it was a journey guided by passion and curiosity. Eyring??s first brush with reaction kinetics came at the age of 23, after which his enthusiasm for the subject continued unabated. ??Potential Energy Surfaces??, that he developed along with Polyani and his ??Activated Complex Theory??, completely changed the face of reaction kinetics. This article will cover the exciting life of Eyring.

The many pathways of academic coordination

Faculties, departments, chairs and other operating segments of academic systems are organized around a large number of disparate specialties. The parts are weakly interdependent, since the task structure generates systems in which operations are loosely coupled. Coordination then becomes an unusual problem. Order may be more emergent than planned, and stabilized by emotional and symbolic bonds as much as by administrative structure. Various groups and processes not normally studied as a part of deliberate coordination are involved in the ordering of academic activities and actions. This paper details four major pathways of coordination: by bureaucracy, profession, politics, and the market. All four are involved in all national academic systems, but in widely varying strengths and combinations. The bureaucratic means are well-known, reflected in the formal administrative structures of institutions and systems. Professional coordination is rooted in subject expertise and in the group relations and devices that allow professors to rule at various levels. Political coordination has many sub-forms, with the struggle of interest groups expressed particularly in the actions of regular officials of regimes and parties, the corporatist relations of external groups to government, and the organized efforts of strata within academic systems to act politically. Market coordination also has a variety of sub-forms, operating particularly by means of a consumer market, a labor market, and an institutional market. Various compounds of these four major types are evident, including the linkage of such opposites as bureaucracy and market. The many tasks and interests inherent in academic systems are reflected increasingly in the struggle of corresponding ministries, departments, bureaus, and divisions against one another within government itself. This struggle, too, is a form of coordination. Since each of the major pathways of coordination performs needed functions, policy becomes a matter of balance and mutual adjustment among the many ways by which academic activities are concerted.Edited version of a plenary address given at the Fourth International Conference on Higher Education, University of Lancaster, 29th August–1st September, 1978.

The Immature Revolt of Henry Fielding toward Neo-Classicism

Henry Fielding,incontrovertibly praised as " the father of English novels,deserves another recognition,much more significantly,the first theorist on the obit of English novel with the theory of " comic epic poem in prose" as an attempt to revolt against new-classicism.This attempt,despite its revolutionary and bold flavor,is immature and incomplete,which is bound to be attributed to the general context of neo-classicism against which Fielding vigorously averted but inevitably leaned.

The many voices of the English classroom

In the field of English much attention has been focused on the teaching and assessment of isolable, decontextualised skills. This paper contests such versions of English, insisting on the continuing need to conceptualise the English classroom as a social space where a number of voices meet. It places the particular accounts of two English teachers and their classrooms within a tradition that pays attention to the subjectivities, cultures and histories of school students and to the relationships that are built up over time.
