16. PREDESTINATION AND MONASTIC DISCIPLINE: GREGORY THE GREAT’S SYNTHESIS OF AUGUSTINE AND JOHN CASSIAN ON GRACE.

Author

Porter, Philip

Subjects
AUGUSTINE, Saint, Bishop of Hippo, 354-430, GREGORY I, Pope, ca. 540-604
Abstract

This article explores the theology of grace in the writings of Gregory the Great, specifically examining his synthesis of the views of Augustine and John Cassian. The author argues against the mistaken view that Gregory's theology of grace is a moderated Augustinianism, instead asserting that Gregory achieves a synthesis of Augustine's and Cassian's theologies. The article critiques the views of scholars such as Adolf von Harnack, Frederick Dudden, and Carole Straw, who claim that Gregory's views on grace lean towards a Pelagian notion of creaturely initiative. The author aims to show that Gregory's theology of grace is compatible with both speculative concerns about God's providence and the practical concerns of Christians striving for holiness.

22. EVALUATION OF HEADSTART EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM IN CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS. FINAL REPORT.

Author

Harvard Univ., Cambridge, MA. Medical School. and PORTER, PHILIP J.

Abstract

BEGINNING WITH A REVIEW OF THE NURSERY SCHOOL MOVEMENT (FROEBEL, MONTESSORI, AND MCMILLAN,) THIS EVALUATION RELATES THE HISTORICAL MATERIAL TO HEAD START, SPECIFICALLY IN CAMBRIDGE MASS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 1965, MATCHED GROUPS OF 33 HEAD START CHILDREN AND 33 NON-HEAD START CHILDREN (CONTROL GROUP) WERE STUDIED. SCHOOL PRE-REGISTRATION LISTS PROVIDED NAMES AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION FOR BOTH THE HEAD START CHILDREN AND THE CONTROL GROUP CHILDREN. BOTH GROUPS WERE TESTED DURING THE TWO WEEKS BETWEEN THE CLOSE OF HEAD START SESSIONS AND THE FIRST DAY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL. SCORES ON MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS WERE ANALYZED ON THE BASIS OF (1) SEX, (2) MOTHER'S EDUCATIONAL LEVEL, AND (3) FAMILY INCOME LEVEL. THE MEASURE OF LEARNING RATE AS DETERMINED BY THE SEGUIN FORM BOARD WAS THE MOST CONSISTENT IN SHOWING DIFFERENCES RESULTING FROM HEAD START INTERVENTION. THE CHIEF DIFFERENCE SEEMS TO BE THAT HEAD START EXPERIENCE AIDED A CHILD IN ATTACKING LEARNING TASKS. FOLLOW-UP RESEARCH IS NEEDED INTO HEALTH, SOCIAL CASE WORK, EFFECTS ON FORMAL SCHOOLING, AND EVALUATION AND REFINEMENT OF THE PROGRAM. (LG)

23. Morphology, flow dynamics and evolution of englacial conduits in cold ice.

Abstract

Meltwater routing through ice masses exerts a fundamental control over glacier dynamics and mass balance, and proglacial hydrology. However, despite recent advances in mapping drainage systems in cold, Arctic glaciers, direct observations of englacial channels and their flow conditions remain sparse. Here, using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) surveys of the main englacial channel of cold‐based Austre Brøggerbreen (Svalbard), we map and compare an entrance moulin reach (122 m long) and exit portal reach (273 m long). Analysis of channel planforms, longitudinal profiles, cross‐sections and morphological features reveals evidence of spatial variations in water flow conditions and channel incision mechanisms, and the presence of vadose, epiphreatic and phreatic conditions. The entrance reach, located at the base of a perennial moulin, was characterized by vadose, uniform, channel lowering at annual timescales, evidenced by longitudinal grooves, whereas the exit portal reach showed both epiphreatic and vadose conditions, along with upstream knickpoint migration at intra‐annual timescales. Fine‐scale features, including grooves and scallops, were readily quantified from the TLS point cloud, highlighting the capacity of the technique to inform palaeoflow conditions, and reveal how pulses of meltwater from rainfall events may adjust englacial conduit behaviour. With forecasts of increasing Arctic precipitation in the coming decades, and a progressively greater proportion of glaciers comprising cold ice, augmenting the current knowledge of englacial channel morphology is essential to constrain future glacier hydrological system change.

Abstract

Rock debris covers ~30% of glacier ablation areas in the Central Himalaya and modifies the impact of atmospheric conditions on mass balance. The thermal properties of supraglacial debris are diurnally variable but remain poorly constrained for monsoon-influenced glaciers over the timescale of the ablation season. We measured vertical debris profile temperatures at 12 sites on four glaciers in the Everest region with debris thickness ranging from 0.08 to 2.8 m. Typically, the length of the ice ablation season beneath supraglacial debris was 160 days (15 May to 22 October)—a month longer than the monsoon season. Debris temperature gradients were approximately linear (r2 > 0.83), measured as −40°C m–1 where debris was up to 0.1 m thick, −20°C m–1 for debris 0.1–0.5 m thick, and −4°C m–1 for debris greater than 0.5 m thick. Our results demonstrate that the influence of supraglacial debris on the temperature of the underlying ice surface, and therefore melt, is stable at a seasonal timescale and can be estimated from near-surface temperature. These results have the potential to greatly improve the representation of ablation in calculations of debris-covered glacier mass balance and projections of their response to climate change.
