A study of the 50-year career of Edward Charles Elliott is a study of the development of American education. Elliott had experience as a high school and college teacher, school system superintendent, state college system chancellor, and president of a Big Ten university, all during a period of change in American attitudes toward public schooling and rapid growth in education institutions. As president of Purdue University from 1922 to 1945, Elliott steered the school through years of expansion in size, prestige, and service. Student enrollment, staff, course offerings, buildings, and campus acreage more than doubled; the total value of the physical plant increased more than five-fold, and the schools of pharmacy, home economics, and graduate study were opened under Elliott’s leadership. This book shows not only how Elliott helped make Purdue University what it is today, but documents educational trends from 1900 to 1950 and includes a lengthy bibliography of Elliott’s writings to assist the student of higher education.

Playboy film producer Elliott Regan has a reputation for breaking hearts. When he messes with the wrong girl, he’s exiled from Hollywood and sent to the Appalachian Mountains to supervise a low-budget film. At least he’ll be able to shift into his secret bear form more regularly if he’s stuck in the woods. He’s expecting that he’ll need to keep first-time director Laila Marks in line, but she doesn’t need anyone to show her the ropes. She can tell immediately that Elliott is a shifter, and she’s not about to let a bossy bear make trouble on her set. Laila Marks grew up around shifters, and she knows all about alpha bears. She’s already on thin ice with this movie: as a female, minority director, she can’t afford to waste any chances to make a name for herself in the film world. When Elliott shows up, she knows he’ll be trouble…if only because the big, sexy producer interferes with her concentration. But she vowed to never get involved with a bear shifter. She’s seen up close what happens when a good bear goes bad, and she can’t take the risk of losing the career she’s worked for her whole life. But there’s a threat lurking that neither Elliott nor Laila can see. Elliott has no idea that he’s a shifter prince, exiled from his home when his royal family was shattered. A powerful clan is trying to keep him from retaking his throne, and they’ll target the person who matters to him the most: his fated mate. The Alpha Bear Princes series delivers scorching-hot tales of fated romance featuring strong, curvy women and the secret shifter princes who love them. Each book has a guaranteed happily-ever-after for the secret princes and their fated mates. The series can be read in any order, but it’s most fun to read them like this: · Prince Hudson · Prince Samuel · Prince Elliott · Prince Maxwell Meet your favorite Alpha Bear Prince today!

Compositional Process in Elliott Carter’s String Quartets is an interdisciplinary study examining the evolution and compositional process in Elliott Carter’s five string quartets. Offering a systematic and logical way of unpacking concepts and processes in these quartets that would otherwise remain opaque, the book’s narrative reveals new aspects of understanding these works and draws novel conclusions on their collective meaning and Carter’s place as the leading American modernist. Each of Carter’s five string quartets is driven by a new idea that Carter was exploring during a particular period, which allows for each quartet to be examined under a unique lens and a deeper understanding of his oeuvre at large. Drawing on key ideas from a variety of subjects including performance studies, philosophy, music cognition, musical meaning and semantics, literary criticism, and critical theory, this is an informative volume for scholars and researchers in the areas of music theory and musicology. Analyses are supplemented with sketch study, correspondence, text manuscripts, and other archival sources from the Paul Sacher Stiftung, the Library of Congress, and the New York Public Library.

An entertaining and educated observer, Elliott provided readers back home with an account of the grueling march over the famous Santa Fe Trail, the triumphant entry of the army into Santa Fe, the U.S. occupation of New Mexico, and the volunteers' eventual return to St. Louis.

Mount Elliott Cemetery is Detroit's oldest extant cemetery, started by the Catholic community in 1841. The consecrated ground is named for architect Robert T. Elliott, who was instrumental in purchasing the land and was the first interment. The roads in the cemetery honor religious leaders: (Pope) Pius Avenue, Bishop LeFevere Avenue and Place, and Bishop Borgess Avenue. The remaining roads carry biblical themes: Calvary Avenue, Holy Cross Place, Trinity Avenue, and Resurrection Avenue. Remains from Detroit's St. Anne's cemetery were brought to Mount Elliott, where French, German, and Irish surnames abound. The tombstones at Mount Elliott reflect family names well known in the tricounty area: Beaubien, Campau, Caniff, Chene, Cicotte, Moran, and Moross. These religious, business, and political leaders have left their names on buildings, roads, and landmarks. They are commemorated here with handcrafted marble, granite, and zinc memorials. Mausoleums honor families, including Palms, Scanlon, and Welch. Military burials include those who served in Napoleon's army, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and Vietnam. The special areas for the Detroit firemen and many Catholic religious orders pay homage to the groups of men and women who worked so selflessly to protect and serve the city. The Mount Elliott Cemetery Association provides perpetual care for Mount Elliott Cemetery and four sister cemeteries: Mount Olivet, Resurrection, All Saints, and Guardian Angel.
