Last week, when Marietta Douglas ’81 played,
people in Stamford, Connecticut, listened. They had little choice. Douglas plays
the carillon, an instrument in which the performer depresses levers that cause large
suspended bells to ring through the air. During a July 7 concert at Stamford’s
First Presbyterian Church, when Douglas played Joseph Mouret’s Fanfare (Rondeau),
the bells rang through the city’s downtown area. Douglas, the church’s
resident carillonneur, began playing the rare instrument as a first-year Smith student.
Only 200 carillons exist in the United States. Smith’s carillon, located in
the College Hall bell tower, is featured each summer in a series of concerts.
If Valerie Johnson ’06 is successful
in her work this summer as a research assistant at Maine’s Acadia National
Park, native spiders there will survive the aggression of a species of spider that
migrated from Europe. Johnson, a biology major, is assisting Jeremy Houser, a doctoral
student at UMass, in his study of linyphia triangularis, a spider that has
invaded the habitat of native spiders in the park’s Schoodic Point area. The
aggressive spiders most likely arrived by boat from Europe in the 1990s, Houser explained
in a July 6 article in the Ellsworth American.
Karen Drake ’99 was recently
appointed the new principal of the Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School

Kevin Shea, assistant professor of chemistry,
recently received a grant from the American Chemical Society's Petroleum Research
Fund to support research with undergraduates into new ways to make organic molecules.
Although the molecules created in Shea's lab are not designed for biological use,
the way they are developed and tested is similar to pharmaceutical companies' development
of new drugs to treat diseases. Initially awarded a two-year $35,000 grant for the
research, Shea received a supplement this year to support the work of Smith undergraduates
on the project. This summer, Mary Banks ’07 will collaborate with Shea to investigate “New
Applications of Cobalt-Alkyne Complexes in Organic Synthesis.” Former students
in Shea's lab, Miriam Quintal and Kristi Closser, recently published an article in
the American Chemical Society journal Organic Letters describing their results in
this area.

Holly Iglesias, coordinator of tutorial
services in the Jacobson Center for Writing, Teaching and Learning, recently won
the St. Louis Poetry Center’s 45th annual Best Poem Contest with a reading
of her poem Perishables. Iglesias wrote the poem after hearing a news feature on
National Public Radio about a Vietnam War veteran who, while serving in the war,
received a cake meant for another soldier who had been killed. “I have read
the poem several times in public and each time it has evoked a very strong, sometimes
tearful, response,” says Iglesias. “That man’s story and his voice
delivered this poem to me very directly. All I had to do was listen.” Iglesias
was awarded $2,000 with the award and her winning poem will be published in the fall
edition of MARGIE: The American Journal of Poetry. Iglesias, who is originally from
St. Louis, has had her work published in many literary journals, she says, but is
honored to have taken an award from the St. Louis Poetry Center. “It feels
validating to me as a poet,” she said. “It feels like a powerful way
to show the pity of war; and it feels like a testament to the power of the human
voice.”
James Hicks, director of the American
studies diploma program, is one of 25 educators nationally to be selected to participate
in "Rethinking America in Global Perspective," a National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH) summer institute. The four-week program will be held at the
Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., in June and July. It is one of 32 NEH-supported
institutes scheduled this summer to give educators an opportunity to collaborate
with experts in the humanities. “Rethinking America” will focus on the
geographical and chronological boundaries within the study of American history, and
connecting the country to other world regions. Using the Library of Congress collections,
educators will conduct research and design curricular materials to encourage students
to develop an awareness of the multitude of global challenges and opportunities. Neal
Salisbury, professor of history, is among the guest faculty scheduled to
present research at the institute.
Lynne Yamamoto, assistant professor
of art, recently received a $50,000 commission from the City of Seattle, Washington,
Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs to create a piece of art for the city’s
new Central Library. Yamamoto’s artwork will be permanently installed on a
large wall near the Seattle Collection of city papers near the library’s card
catalogues. Though the library uses a computerized filing system, its card catalogues
are still in use and Yamamoto’s art work is intended to offset the repetition
of catalogue drawers. The library was designed by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koohaas/Office
of Metropolitan Architecture. It opened in May 2004. Also, Yamamoto was recently
granted a six-week summer residency in 2006 at the Civitella Ranieri Center, a workplace
in the Umbria region of Italy for gifted artists from different countries and disciplines.
Marina
Galazidis, a Smith graduate student in education, recently won the Outstanding Educator

of interest to the society, which spans research in chemistry, physics and engineering.
The award will provide $1,000 to support Greens’ research for one year and
to support her attendance at the AVS International Symposium next fall, at which
she will present her work.
Anne Boutelle, senior lecturer in
English language and literature, recently won the Samuel French Morse Poetry Prize
for her book Nest of Thistles. The book, according to Boutelle, “reveals my
Scottish childhood, through landscape, language, song. Some threads woven into the
nest are translations from Rilke and poems about women artists.” The Morse
Poetry Prize is awarded annually by Northeastern University Press for a first or
second book of poems by an American poet. It includes a $1,000 stipend. Nest of Thistles
is slated for publication this year in October.
Mary Banks ’07 has been awarded

John Davis, the Alice Pratt Brown
Professor of Art, recently received a $75,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation,
along with Sarah Burns, professor of art history at Indiana University, to compile
a comprehensive volume of sources and documents on American art before 1900. While
the study of early American art has expanded during the past 40 years to include
themes of race, class and gender, the texts have not. With the grant, Davis seeks
to change that. In more than 450 pages, Davis and Burns plan to fill a gap in the
scholarship on American art caused by an earlier lack of critical analysis of the
period. Their volume, to be titled Sources and Documents in American Art, is slated
for publication in 2008 by the University of California Press.
Since New Year’s Eve, Aliyah Shanti ’08 and
her father, David Albert, have been assisting with the distribution of food to some
70,000 people in coastal southern India, many of whom were affected by the December
26 tsunamis in the Indian Ocean. Shanti and her father, who live in Olympia, Washington,
had planned the trip before the tsunamis in order to assist their friends there in
distributing food to those in need. Since arriving, Shanti and Albert have encountered
a staggering amount of devastation. “Entire streets are a tangle of electric
wires, chests of drawers, cast-off clothing and water packets,” wrote Albert
in a January 3 Weblog of their experience. “The smell is a mix of rotting seafood
and rotting bodies.” Shanti and Albert plan to return from India on January
19. To read their ongoing Weblog, consult http://shantinik.blogspot.com.

story of overcoming obstacles and achieving success. Her story is documented in a
new book, Defying Gravity: A Celebration of Late-Blooming Women, by late-blooming
writer Prill Boyle. Horkan’s story of inspiration began with her acceptance
to Smith at age 33 as an Ada Comstock Scholar. “Fulfilling my dream of going
to Smith taught me so much about my ability to make things happen in my life,” she
says in the book. “It was an unfathomable goal, considering my skills and my
lack of money and resources. The desire to go just grew like a root inside my soul
and became stronger and stronger. It was an absolute, clear unmistakable intention.
I felt unstoppable and I was. Nothing deterred me. What a lesson! What a thing to
learn, that you can will yourself into thereality of your choice. I left Smith with
my full self and I’ve been able to keep that through everything I’ve
done.” Horkan is one of 13 women profiled in the book.
