Abstract:

In the past, there has been a dearth of research exploring related factors regarding the benefactor in the research of gratitude. The focus of this study is to investigate whether different benefactors elicit different levels of gratitude in beneficiaries after conferring a favor. Using college students as the research subjects, questionnaires were conducted after subjects read the experimental text to explore whether college students’ gratitude is different when two types of benefactors (friends and parents) give the same help. This study found that when the benefactor makes a big effort to confer a favor and the favor is very important to the beneficiary, there is no significant difference in the gratitude toward their parents and friends among college students and the level of gratitude for both is very high. However, when the favor only is conferred through an ordinary amount of effort and the favor is of ordinary importance to the beneficiary, college students have a higher level of gratitude to their friends, but a lower level of gratitude to their parents. Therefore, college students do not necessarily have higher gratitude to their friends than to their parents; the amount of effort exerted by the benefactor and the importance of the favor to the beneficiary are two key factors.

Abstract:

Following the outstanding success of phase 1 of the Eagle Project, the Wolfson Surgical Skills Centre, it is with great excitement and anticipation that the College launches phase 2, the clinical skills unit. The completion of this very ambitious second phase of the multimillion-pound project is a tribute to teamworking and has only been possible through close cooperation between the College, generous benefactors and industry. The impact that this new unit will have is enormous. It will provide flexible state-of-the-art facilities that will allow much stronger engagement with course development and course delivery.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article recalls the foundation of one of Cambridge's lost Colleges. It documents the transformation by a private benefactor, Hervey de Stanton (or Staunton), of a small Cambridge living into the university's third College, giving an overview of the life of its founder and outlining the personal connections that led to the establishment of Michaelhouse. It traces the foundation history of parish and College and their expansion through the strategic accumulation of benefactions. It gives an insight into the College statutes, a highly original composition by Stanton to govern the life at Cambridge's only college for priest-fellows. Finally, it documents the development of a distinctive catholic humanist school at the College, and its opposition to Henrician reformation measures, which made it a natural candidate for amalgamation into King Henry VIII's larger foundation, Trinity College.

Full text

Abstract:

Lex collegii Aesculapii et Hygiae is one of the most frequently cited source texts concerning the Roman private corporations. In this article I try to verify the traditional interpretation of this inscription. Firstly, the analysis of the provisions included in the lex collegii Aesculapii et Hygiae leads to the conclusion that what we have here is not the organisation’s statute but an agreement between the collegium and Salvia Marcellina and her brother-in-law, P. Aelius Zeno. Secondly, quite common conviction that the collegium Aesculapii et Hygiae was a funerary one is based on a very meagre source material. The term funeraticium used by the authors of the lex collegii with the utmost certainty is insufficient to claim that it was a collegium funeraticium. The statement that the college owned a graveyard is also based on an erroneous interpretation of the words defunctorum loca, found in the lex collegii, which supposedly meant places in the corporate graveyard, while in fact they referred to the membership of the college (members’ places in the college). Moreover, the commemorative services, collegial feasts and distributions which are mentioned in lex collegii should be considered in a wider social context. For members of the collegium the participation in these ceremonies was first of all an opportunity to demonstrate their position within the college and in the urban community. The same applies to patrons and benefactors of the collegium.

Abstract:

A memorial for Mary, Queen of Scots, and for two of her ladies-in-waiting, Barbara Mowbray-Curle, wife of Gilbert Curle, a secretary of the queen, and her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Curle is kept in St Andrew's Church in Antwerp (Belgium). The monument was founded by Barbara's son, Hippolytus. After the execution of the queen the ladies left England and settled first in Paris and afterwards in Antwerp. The article concentrates on the two sons of Barbara, who became Jesuits. Little is known about the elder, James. He died in 1615 in Spain, probably still a Jesuit student. The younger one, Hippolytus (who died in 1638), acted as a manager in the Scots College in Douai (France). He is praised as one of the principal benefactors of the college. More particularly the article comments on the testament he drew up when he joined the Jesuit order in September 1618, of which an authenticated copy is kept in the Scottish Catholic Archives. It offers a telling insight into the situation of the Curle-Mowbray family in exile. It reveals also the family's major concern: the restoration of Catholicism in Scotland through the training of a suitable clergy.

Abstract:

We examined the effects of benefactor intention and beneficiaries’ perceived helpfulness and personal responsibility in the context of charitable giving on the gratitude and indebtedness of Chinese college students facing financial hardship. Results of the 2 studies we conducted using a scenario methodology indicated that personal responsibility moderated the effect of benefactor intention on gratitude via the mediator of perceived helpfulness. Specifically, when beneficiaries felt less responsible for receiving help, perceiving the benefactor’s intention as benevolent rather than utilitarian led them to perceive the donation as being more helpful, thereby evoking greater gratitude. In contrast, when beneficiaries felt more responsible for receiving the donation, their perceived helpfulness and gratitude did not vary, regardless of the nature of the benefactor’s intention. However, there was no significant moderating effect on indebtedness. Implications for higher education and charitable-giving practices are discussed.

Abstract:

For the first time in the history of collegiate sports, college athletes can be compensated without the risk of losing their status as amateurs. The Fair Pay to Play act sparked a revolution of state laws allowing college athletes to be compensated for using their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Agency representation, another allowance that has historically been restricted from college athletes, has been granted by these new laws. With the governance of intercollegiate play removed from the authority of the National Collegiate Athlete Association (NCAA) and placed in the hands of the individual states in which universities reside, the respective universities are now in a place to profit as knock-on benefactors. NIL brings corporate relationships closer to the University and, in some states, allows boosters to serve in the capacity of sponsors. Using the school's intellectual property – logo, brand, mascot, etc. – cannot financially benefit the collegiate athlete but can serve as another opportunity for universities to profit from the existence of the NIL legislature. This research explores the impact NIL laws have had on the financial performance of the Universities in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) West Division. The correlational study analyzes the profitability of universities before and after the NIL legislature passed to determine if there is a correlating pattern. The study leverages key performance indicators to describe the financial performance of seven universities across five states. Although the metrics suggest a correlation pattern before and after NIL was passed, it does not find significant variation between the profitability metrics or the components that measure profitability.

Abstract:

The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the quality of training of future physical education (PE) specialists. Knowledge of the legacy of outstanding teachers is the basis for the formation of professional competencies of PE specialists. The experience of F. Nachtegall, the Scandinavian educator of New Times, the main stages of his activity on the introduction of PE in education, their content and results became an impulse to recognize the importance of physical and moral health of young people as the main object of attention of authorities, benefactors and society during the period under study. The educational reforms initiated by him ensured the availability of PE to all young people, promoted the education of healthy, industrious, useful citizens and led to the institutionalisation of PE. Founding Europe's first gymnastics club and a private gymnastics school for different classes, organising and running a school for training civic gymnastics teachers, and founding a gymnastics college - these are just a small part of Nachtegall's multifaceted activities. Nachtegall's practical experience had an enormous influence on the creation of the organisational, programme, control and methodological foundations for the formation of didactic knowledge on the teaching process of PE.

Abstract:

This chapter traces the process by which Exeter College was largely rebuilt during Prideaux’s rectorship. This was one of his major achievements, which transformed a ramshackle and higgledy-piggledy college into a model of well-planned order and even grandeur devised around a central quadrangle. The chapter analyses Prideaux’s relations with the leading benefactors––John Peryam, Sir John Acland, George Hakewill––who made the rebuilding possible and stresses the common ground in religion which underlay their friendly relations. It also raises the question why Prideaux fundraising efforts were so narrowly confined to the city of Exeter and its immediate hinterland. The new buildings are described, with particular attention being paid to the hall and the chapel, and the course of the rebuilding and its consequential costs are outlined. Finally, stress is laid on the degree to which the rebuilding was regarded as a religious enterprise intended in part to promote the work of the church through the provision of more rooms for undergraduates whose destiny it might be to serve as clerics. His achievement in renewing Exeter’s physical structure was recognized even by his enemy Peter Heylyn. The chapter draws on a hitherto unknown file of informal and personal letters between Prideaux, benefactors, and College fellows.

Abstract:

The chapter explores existing and newly created institutions that combined forces to form a network advantageous to the foundation’s mission and its music fellows. With connections to the Rhodes Scholars program, the Rockefeller Foundation, Columbia University (and through it to the Pulitzer Prize program), the Carnegie Corporation, the Conservatoire Américain, Yaddo, the Oberlaender Trust, Swarthmore College and its connections to the Society of Friends, Surette’s Concord Summer School, and Black Mountain College, among other associations, the foundation positioned itself to benefit from and contribute to a close-knit community of artistic tastemakers and benefactors. the chapter shows that additional connections to prominent people including Nadia Boulanger, Walter Damrosch, and Serge Koussevitzky in the early years and then to Copland and the first fellows created a self-sustaining stream of applicants and winners.

Abstract Magdalene College in 1925 was just emerging from an extremely long period in the doldrums. Established as a Benedictine Monks’ Hostel in 1428,2 the institution became, at an uncertain date in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, Buckingham College (in tribute to its lay benefactor, Henry Stafford, second Duke of Buckingham); then in 1542 it was refounded by Thomas, Lord Audley—who had ‘presided over the trials of Sir Thomas More and Anne Boleyn, and helped Henry VIII to get rid of two other wives, as well as Thomas Cromwell’—as the College of St Mary Magdalene, with the motto Garde ta foy (‘Keep faith’).

Abstract:

American Protestantism determined to a large extent the nature of the mission errand to China, especially in the Chinese Protestant elite’s understanding of social Christianity. American Protestantism, however, suffered from certain weaknesses in its own understanding of the relationship between Christianity and society, and this weakness was most evident in the message of the Social Gospel. The Social Gospel aimed to reshape the modern industrial economy, so that it was more humane to workers and more beneficial to society. That message, though, was compromised in its transmission to China by its association with imperialism. Beyond this message of the Social Gospel, American missions were also the early benefactors of the main institutions—colleges and universities, the YMCA and the YWCA—through which the Protestant elite influenced the larger society.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the intertwined legacies of Mr. Earnest McEwen, Jr., the author's father, and his life-changing relationship with William Faulkner. As his benefactor, Faulkner paid for Mr. McEwen to attend Alcorn A&M College (now Alcorn University), transforming the trajectory of the McEwen family for all time. Faulkner's gift was given with no strings attached; he only asked that Mr. McEwen help someone else when he was able to do so. After Mr. McEwen's untimely death, the author's mother, Mildred Blackmon McEwen, gave her blessing to share the story about her husband's fateful encounter with Faulkner and their subsequent friendship. Infused with gratitude, this chapter lifts up two men who respected one another's dignity and humanity at a time in our nation's history when this behavior was at odds with the cultural, political, and social norms.

Abstract:

Abstract The final, twelfth chapter is focused on the varied interaction of Oxford graduates with each other and with outsiders through kinship, friendship, and intermarriage, which underlay the enduring centrality and leverage of the University in national life. Patronage and brokerage were crucial but there were also important, non-contractual dimensions operative within this range of networks. Fond memories of past associations were likely to be stimulated through social gatherings, and these developed more formally over the century. Old college connections could bring clergy, otherwise frequently intellectually isolated in rural settings, into mutual contact. The ultimate sign of alumni institutional loyalty was to leave a bequest, and here the largest donors tended to be laymen. Benefactions were, above all, a token of goodwill, a remittance intended to foster the same sentiments in succeeding generations.

Abstract:

The study analyzes focus groups and individual interviews with 179 adult participants and 116 student participants during the 2022-23 academic year. Adult participants included principals, administrative coordinators of instruction, teachers, staff members and parents of students within a large school district in California. All of these adults and students were active benefactors and staff members of a Black Student Achievement Plan (BSAP), an initiative created to foster educational equity for schools with over 200 Black students or a document history of academic underperformance for Black students. We examine the implementation of the Black student achievement plan i.e., the adoption of culturally sustaining curricula and instruction, the allocations of funds to hire necessary staff, funding of culturally enriching activity and experiences, etc. The findings suggest that BSAP hires are serving as invaluable support systems for many students and often serve as respite for students in an otherwise racial hostile educational environment. Findings suggest that BSAP is a crucial part in increasing students college readiness and provides students with supports and educational experience e.g. field trips, that increase their likelihood for attending college. This research informs districts and college readiness programs about the necessary supports to provide to Black and historically underrepresented students.
