Divine Judgment in the Gospel of Matthew Description An account of the resource Video recording of a lecture delivered on October 27, 2023, by Ron Haflidson as part of the Formal Lecture Series.<br /><br />Mr. Haflidson describes his lecture: "In this lecture, I explore the largely neglected and perhaps totally wrong possibility that when Jesus spoke about 'hell,' he wasn’t talking about the afterlife. The inquiry proceeds by focusing on Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Matthew (the New Testament text with by far the most references to hell). I will pursue the case that for Matthew’s Jesus, hell was an impending event within history, not a place some people go after they die. The lecture is divided into two parts: in the first, we consider the various ways that lead to hell; in the second, we examine the nature of hell itself.<br /><br />Mr. Haflidson is a tutor in Annapolis.

History St. John's College was founded in 1696 as King William's School in accordance with a Petitionary Act for free-schools of the General Assembly of the Colony of Maryland. Following the Revolutionary War, the General Assembly of the new State of Maryland granted a Charter to St. John's College pursuant to and as a part of Chapter 37 of the Laws of Maryland of 1784. This Charter was subsequently amended by the General Assembly through Resolution No. 41 of 1832. The Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in 1950 revised the Charter to eliminate extraneous and obsolete matter and to make certain other amendments consistent with present requirements and conditions. It was the opinion of the Attorney General of Maryland that the original Charter of the College was subject to the general Corporation Laws of Maryland and might accordingly be amended by the Visitors and Governors, pursuant to these laws, without legislative action by the General Assembly. Subsequent amendments were made in 1961, in 1963, in 1965, and in 1970. When the decision was reached to establish a second St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, amendments were made to the Charter to authorize branches or extensions of the College. The Charter was then filed with the Corporations Commission of the State of New Mexico as a foreign corporation. The College was thus empowered to grant degrees in New Mexico under the provisions of its Maryland Charter. The Polity of the College was first drafted by the Faculty and then adopted by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its regular meeting on July 8, 1950, in Annapolis, Maryland. It was reviewed and amended by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its annual meetings May 14, 1955, and May 21, 1960; at its regular meetings February 22, 1961, December 9, 1961, and February 23, 1963, in Annapolis, Maryland; at its regular meeting September 28, 1963, in Santa Fe, New Mexico; at its annual meetings May 15, 1965, and June 6, 1970, in Annapolis, Maryland; and at its regular meeting October 3, 1970, in Annapolis, Maryland. . 1 . �..

Institutions of learning are set up for this purpose. Beyond this they should also seek to develop the moral and intellectual powers of men to enable them to fulfill best their freely chosen tasks and thus to take their own responsible part in shaping the future. St. John's College is a community of learning committed to holding these ends constantly in sight and to seeking the best means of attaining them. St. John's College strives to illuminate the common heritage of mankind in a persisting study of the great documents in which that heritage can be found. It is concerned with the unity of knowledge, an understanding of the great issues faced by men, and the moral foundations on which the conduct of men's lives can be based. To provide proper conditions for the pursuit of these ends, we, the Board of Visitors and Governors, after consultation with the Faculty, do ordain and establish this polity for St. John's College. 11 . 9 .

JOHN'S COLLEGE PREAMBLE Education is the leading out of men from their natural state into the world of inherited customs, intellectual traditions, and spiritual ties. Institutions of learning are set up for this purpose. Beyond this they should also seek to develop the moral and intellectual powers of men to enable them to fulfill best their freely chosen tasks and thus to take their own responsible part in shaping the future. St. John's College is a community of learning committed to hold constantly in sight this universal end and the means conducive to it. St. John's College strives to illuminate the common heritage of mankind in a persisting study of the great documents in which that heritage can be found. It seeks the unity of knowledge, an understanding of the great issues faced by men, and the moral foundations on which the conduct of men's lives can be based. To provide proper conditions for the pursuit of these ends, we, the Board of Visitors and Governors, after consultation with the Faculty, do ordain and establish this polity for St. John's College. �ARTICLE I THE COLLEGE ..

JOHN'S COLLEGE CHARTER AND POLITY OF THE COLLEGE ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO June, 1965 Founded as King William's School, 1696, Chartered as St. John's College, 1784 �History St. fohn's College was founded in 1696 as King William's School in accordance with a Petitionary Act for free-schools of the General Assembly of the Colony of Maryland. Fo11owing the Revolutionary War, the General Assembly of the new State of Maryland granted a Charter to St. fohn's CoIIege pursuant to and as a part of Chapter 37 of the Laws of Maryland of 1784. This Charter was subsequently amended by the General Assembly through Resolution No. 41 of 1832. The Visitors and Governors of St. Tohn's College in 1950 revised the Charter to eliminate extraneous and obsolete matter and to make certain other amendments consistent with present requirements and conditions. It was the opinion of the Attorney General of Maryland that tl1e original C11arter of the College was subject to the general Corporation Laws of Maryland and might accordingly be amended by the Visitors and Governors, pursuant to these laws, without legislative action by the General Assembly. Subsequent amendments were made in 1961, in 1963, and in 1965. When the decision was reached to establish a second St. Tohn's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, amendments were made to the Charter to authorize branches or extensions of the College. The Charter was then filed with the Corporations Commission of the State of New Mexico as a foreign corporation. The College was thus empowered to grant degrees in New Mexico under the provisions of its Maryland Charter. Volume XVII JUNE, 1965 Number 2 Published Quarterly Entered as Second-class matter, February 18, 1949, at the Post Office, at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912. The Polity of the College was first drafted by the Faculty and then adopted by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its regular meeting on July 8, 1950, in Annapolis, Maryland. It was reviewed and amended by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its annual meetings May 14, 1955, and May 21, 1960; at its regular meetings February 22, 1961, December 9, 1961, and February 23, 1963, in Annapolis, Maryland; at its regular meeting September 28, 1963, in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and at its annual meeting on May 15, 1965, in Annapolis, Maryland. • 1 �Charter of St. John's College WHEREAS, institutions for the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States; And whereas, it appears to this General Assembly that many public spirited individuals, from an earnest desire to promote the founding a college or seminary of learning on the Western Shore of this State have subscribed and procured subscriptions to a considerable amount, and there is reason to believe that very large additions will be obtained to the same throughout the different counties of the said Shore if they were made capable in law to receive and apply the same towards founding and carrying on a college or general seminary of learning with such salutary plan and with such legislative assistance and direction as the General Assembly might think fit, and this General Assembly, highly approving those generous exertions of individuals, are desirous to embrace the present favorable occasion of peace and prosperity for making lasting provision for the encouragement and advancement of all useful knowledge and literature through every part of this State; BE IT ENACTED: II.

Institutions of learning are set up for this purpose. Beyond this they should also seek to develop the moral and intellectual powers of men to enable them to fulfill best their freely chosen tasks and thus to take their own responsible part in shaping the future. St. John's College is a community of learning committed to holding these ends constantly in sight and to seeking the best means of attaining them. St. John's College strives to illuminate the common heritage of mankind in a persisting study of the great documents in which that heritage can be found. It is concerned with the unity of knowledge, an understanding of the great issues faced by men, and the moral foundations on which the conduct of men's lives can be based. To provide proper conditions for the pursuit of these ends, we, the Board of Visitors and Governors, after consultation with the Faculty, do ordain and establish this polity for St. John's College. . 9 . �ARTICLE I THE COLLEGE ( 1 )_ St. .John's Col_lege is by its Charter a legal entity carrying on its funct10ns m Annapolis, Maryland, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

JOHN'S COLLEGE CHARTER AND POLITY OF THE COLLEGE ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO December, 1963 Founded as King William's School, 1696, Chartered as St. John's College, 1784 �History St. John's College was founded in 1696 as King William's School in accordance with a Petitionary Act for free-schools of the General Assembly of the Colony of Maryland. Following the Revolutionary War, the General Assembly of the new State of Maryland granted a Charter to St. John's College pursuant to and as a part of Chapter 37 of the Laws of Maryland of 1784. This Charter was subsequently amended by the General Assembly through Resolution No. 41 of 1832. The Visitors and Governors of St. John's College in 1950 revised the Charter to eliminate extraneous and obsolete matter and to make certain other amendments consistent with present requirements and conditions. It was the opinion of the Attorney General of Maryland that the original Charter of the College was subject to the general Corporation Laws of Maryland and might accordingly be amended by the Visitors and Governors, pursuant to these laws, without legislative action by the General Assembly. Subsequent amendments were made in 1961 and again in 1963. When the decision was reached to establish a second St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico,. amendments were made to the Charter to authorize branches or extensions of the College. The Charter was then filed with the Corporations Commission of the State of New Mexico as a foreign corporation. The College was thus empowered to grant degrees in New Mexico under the provisions of its Maryland Charter. Volume XV DECEMBER, 1963 Number 4 Published Quarterly Entered as Second-class matter, February 18, 1949, at the Post Office, at Annapolis, Maryland, under the Act of August 24, 1912, The Polity of the College was first drafted by the Faculty and then adopted by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its regular meeting July 8, 1950, in Annapolis, Maryland. It was reviewed and amended by the Board of Visitors and Governors at its annual meetings May 14, 1955, and May 21, 1960, at its regular meetings February 22, 1961, December 9, 1961, and February 23, 1963, in Annapolis, Maryland; and at its regular meeting September 28, 1963, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. • l • �Charter of St. John's College WHEREAS, institutions for the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institu_tions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States; And whereas, it appears to this General Assembly that many public spirited individuals, from an earnest desire to promote t~e founding a college or seminary of learning on the Western Shore of this State have subscribed and procured subscriptions to a considerable amount, and there is reason to believe that very large additions will be obtained to the same throughout the different counties of the said Shore if they were made capable in law to receive and apply the same towards founding and carrying on a college or general seminary of learning with such salutary plan and with such legislative assistance and direction as the General Assembly might think fit, and this General Assembly, highly approving those generous exertions of individuals, are desirous to embrace the present favorable occasion of peace and prosperity for making lasting provision for the encouragement and advancement of all useful knowledge and literature through every part of this State; BE IT ENACTED: IV.

Bladen, Esq., then Governor, to have and to hold the said four acres of land with the appurtenances to the said Visitors and Governors and their successors for the only use, benefit and behoof of the said college and seminary of universal learning forever. II. That a college or general seminary of learning by the name of "St. John's College" be established on the said Western Shore upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles; namely, first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education and to all the literary honors of the college, according to their merit without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service other than what they have been educated in or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a Principal, Vice-Principal or other Professor, Master or Tutor in said college on account of his particular religious profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. VIII.

The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: “And God created Adam in His own image . . . male and female created He them.” The primordial, androgynous human in Genesis 1 is subsequently divided into two partial beings, man and woman; their punishment for violating the first divine prohibition explains the reality of life as we know it. This biblical narrative has a remarkable resonance with a Platonic account—Aristophanes’ speech on eros in the Symposium: each of the original, whole humans who rebel against the gods is split by a divine punishment into two partial beings, always longing for their missing half. What can we learn, from these parallel texts, about the understanding of the human condition in the two roots of the West, Jerusalem and Athens?"

Title A name given to the resource Wallace Stevens and Our Redemption Through Poetry Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Lin Atnip on September 29, 2023 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: “After one has abandoned a belief in god, poetry is that essence which takes its place as life’s redemption.” — So writes Wallace Stevens, a giant of American modernist poetry, in one of his aphoristic “adagia.” In this lecture we will attempt to understand what he meant, or might have meant, in this odd and perhaps disturbing formulation. What is the role of poetry in our contemporary world, at turns banal and catastrophe-ridden? We will seek our answer through consideration of some of Stevens’ other prose writings and, of course, his poetry -- and maybe, if successful, find a little redemption."

Title A name given to the resource Vital Exuberance: Goethe on What Plants Want Description An account of the resource Video recording of a lecture delivered on September 15, 2023, by Daniel Carranza as part of the Formal Lecture Series.<br /><br />The lecture conducts a close reading of Goethe's poem on the "Metamorphosis of Plants" by situating it within Goethe's larger scientific endeavor to understand what it means for a being to be a specifically living being, in particular what the kind of wholeness exhibited by the organism, whether plant, animal, or human, looks like. Particular attention will be paid to the philosophical resources upon which Goethe draws in his scientific investigation of nature, in particular Aristotle's four causes, the fourth, formal one of which is decisive for Goethe's morphology or study of living forms, and Spinoza's conatus, which Goethe understood as the organism's own endeavor to persevere in and more fully realize its own being.<br /><br />Professor Carranza is an assistant professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Germanic Languages &amp; Literatures at Harvard University.
