“Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening”

Randall Thompson’s “Frostiana” is a choral cycle based on the poems of Robert Frost. The cycle consists of settings for mixed chorus and piano, and it was premiered in 1959. “Frostiana” was commissioned to celebrate the bicentennial of the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, and it features seven of Frost’s poems set to music by Thompson.

“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is one of the poems included in the “Frostiana” cycle. The composition captures the reflective and contemplative mood of Frost’s poem, where the narrator pauses to admire the beauty of a snowy evening in a quiet forest. Randall Thompson’s musical setting adds another layer to Frost’s words, enhancing the emotional impact of the poem.

Thompson’s approach in “Frostiana” is characterized by its accessibility and tonal clarity. His settings aim to convey the meaning and atmosphere of Frost’s poetry through the expressive power of choral music. The entire “Frostiana” cycle is a celebration of both Thompson’s skill as a composer and Frost’s enduring contribution to American literature.

Dahlgren Hall & “Seasoned” Coffee Mug Stories

Named after Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren, an influential figure in the development of naval ordnance.  Its large, open space was ideal for indoor drills and military exercises. The hall was constructed between 1899 and 1903. Its design was overseen by Ernest Flagg, a prominent architect who designed several buildings at the Naval Academy. Today it houses the Drydock Restaurant, a gathering place for midshipmen, faculty, and visitors.

Cornbread & Coffee

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence

of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.”

Haggis

Standards Scotland  | University Home

Haggis is Scotland’s ancestral meal — a savory pudding made from sheep’s pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and stock, traditionally encased in a sheep’s stomach (now often artificial) and boiled. It is typically served with “neeps and tatties” (mashed turnips and potatoes).  Usually “observed” on Hogmanay (Scots New Year) it symbolizes resourcefulness, using humble offal for a nourishing meal, and national pride.

In the pursuit of Knowledge,
every day something is added.
In the practice of the Way,
every day something is dropped.

Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.

Breakfast Beer

…A Study of Beer and Brewing in 18th-Century England… | Bryan A. Guderian, 2001

 

The Pilgrims at the 1621 Plymouth harvest celebration  almost certainly had a morning drink, and it was very likely beer.  Here’s the evidence from primary sources and historical context:
  • Beer was the standard breakfast beverage for English people in the early 17th century, including the Pilgrims (many of whom were Separatists from Scrooby, England). Water was often unsafe or distrusted, especially in new settlements, so even children and pregnant women drank “small beer” (low-alcohol, around 1–3% ABV).
  • The Mayflower’s cargo manifest and passenger accounts show they brought large quantities of beer. Edward Winslow’s letter (December 1621) mentions they were running dangerously low on beer by late 1621, implying it was a daily staple they were rationing.
  • William Bradford (governor of Plymouth) wrote in Of Plymouth Plantation that when the Mayflower arrived, the crew was anxious to leave because their beer was nearly gone—they considered beer essential for health and survival.
  • On the day of the 1621 harvest celebration itself, the Wampanoag guests (90+ men) arrived unexpectedly. The English served what beverages they had, and surviving accounts suggest beer was among them (along with whatever distilled spirits or wine remained).

The MIL-SPEC catalog and its evolution have had a significant impact on various industries beyond the military sector. Many civilian industries have adopted military standards as a benchmark for quality, reliability, and compatibility in their products and processes.

World War II Era:

The MIL-SPEC system traces its roots back to the World War II era when the U.S. military faced challenges in coordinating manufacturing efforts across multiple suppliers.  To address these challenges, the military began developing specifications and standards that detailed the requirements for various equipment and materials, including dimensions, materials, performance criteria, and testing procedures.

Post-World War II:

After World War II, the MIL-SPEC catalog expanded significantly to cover a wide range of military equipment, ranging from electronics and aircraft components to clothing and food supplies.  The standards were continuously updated and revised based on technological advancements, lessons learned, and evolving military needs.

Evolution into MIL-STD:

In the 1950s and 1960s, the MIL-SPEC system evolved into the Military Standard (MIL-STD) system to provide even more comprehensive and detailed specifications.  MIL-STD documents incorporated a broader scope of requirements, including design criteria, quality control processes, and test methodologies.  The MIL-STD system aimed to ensure consistent design and manufacturing practices across contractors and suppliers.

MIL-STD Transition to Commercial Standards:

Over time, the reliance on MIL-STDs started to decline, and there was a shift towards adopting commercial standards whenever possible.  This transition allowed the military to benefit from the advancements and cost efficiencies of commercial technologies.  However, certain critical military-specific standards, such as those related to security and specialized equipment, continued to be maintained within the MIL-STD framework.

DoD’s Transition to Performance-Based Specifications:

In recent years, the DoD has been moving away from prescriptive specifications (MIL-STDs) towards performance-based specifications. Performance-based specifications focus on defining the desired outcomes and performance requirements while allowing contractors greater flexibility in meeting those requirements. This approach encourages innovation, cost-effectiveness, and broader industry participation in military contracts.
