CARLI News

On Saturday, January 31st, at 11:53 AM we received reports of VuFind not responding. CARLI System Services staff investigated the problem and determined that it was due to one of VuFind's services exhausting its memory resources. More memory was added and VuFind returned to normal operation by 3:30 PM.

This photo dated from the 1870s captures the faculty of the Cook County Normal School, which evolved to become what is now Chicago State University. The Chicago Normal School was founded in 1867 and did not find its first permanent home until around 1870, so these instructors must be among the founding faculty of the fledgling institution.

"Two months have gone by in which this book has been entirely neglected. Because of work and night wake etc. came we behind and then ambition was lost."

So admits Dr. Carl O. Lind on page 45 of the logbook kept by five different Evangelical Covenant Church missionaries over the course of twelve years in Unalakleet, Alaska.

Thanksgiving is upon us. The local grocery stores feature prominent displays of cranberries, sweet potatoes and cans of pumpkin pie filling, and I am making a list of the ingredients I need for my apple pies—my annual contribution to the family dinner.
