Bek Bibliography of German Americana for the Year In conferring upon Joseph George Rosengarten the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws on Washington's Birthday, the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania gave expression to long deserved recog- nition of the attainments and services of one of Philadelphia's most worthy and useful citizens.

It seems a fitting time to em- phasize some of the public and private services which prompted this recognition, even at the risk of violating the modest wishes of the recipient of the honor. Rosengarten is descended from German ancestors. He was born in Philadelphia, July 14th, His father, George David Rosengarten, was a native of Hesse-Cassel, and came to America in , at the age of eighteen, later taking up his pro- fession as chemist in Philadelphia.

His mother was Elizabeth Bennett, of Hamburg, Germany. Soon after the discovery of quinine, Mr. Rosen- garten, in 1, began the manufacture of it as a drug. Rosengarten was for many years Director of the Penn- sylvania Railroad, and for over fifty years Director of the Me- chanics Bank. His business is continued by his sons, all of whom studied abroad. Rosengarten received his early education at the Preparatory School of Philadelphia, then taught by Professor Crawford, and entered the College of the University of Pennsyl- vania, graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in , at the age of eighteen.

After graduation, he entered the law office of Henry M. Phillips to pursue the study of law. After being admitted to the Philadelphia Bar, he continued the study of jurisprudence at the University of Heidelberg and began his lit- erary work by contributing articles to the Philadelphia Evening Journal, The Philadelphia Ledger, Atlantic Monthly and The Nation. His literary articles and reviews, after his return to Philadelphia, brought him into close touch with the libraries, and he soon became a member of various library committees.

In , even before the outbreak of the war, he had an ex- citing experience with the participants of the John Brown Raid. The incident is graphically described in his own words in the Atlantic Monthly of June, While on a tour through Virginia, the train was delayed at Harper's Ferry. Wishing to occupy the time, Mr. Rosengarten went out to view the locality, but was soon confronted by an officer, who asked for his pass. Not able to produce a pass, he was locked up as it happened in a room next to the one in which John Brown was imprisoned.

The officer, hearing the name of Rosengarten, asked if he was related to the Rosengarten in Philadelphia. Upon learning that the prisoner was his son, the officer replied, "You're all right! My father is the druggist here in town and I'm well acquainted with your father's quinine. Rosengarten enlisted in a local company of Philadelphia gentlemen, which was sent to Fort Delaware ; but wishing more active service, he joined Col. At the Battle of Fredericksburg the color bearers of the company were shot, whereupon Lieut.

Rosengarten picked up the colors, and carried them in sharp action. For his bravery General Reynolds appointed him to the rank of major on his staff. At the Battle of Gettys- burg he directed one of Reynolds' brigades the morning of the I St of July and, after the general was killed, brought the body of his fallen chief back to Lancaster. In the war he made the acquaintance of the Comte de Paris, and the Due d'Orleans, who were on McQellan's Staff, thus be- ginning a friendship which lasted through years. When the Comte de Paris wrote his famous book on the Rebellion, he asked the collaboration of Mr.

His French acquaintances and his correspondence with Marquis de Rochambeau were the forerunners of the important service which Mr. Rosengarten per- formed in securing the purchase of the Rochambeau Papers by the Congress of the United States, One of the great early services which Mr. Rosengarten ren- dered the city was the revolutionizing and reorganization of the House of Refuge, by the introduction of a humane method of treating and educating the unfortunate children intrusted to the care of that institution.

Upon his election as a member of the ad- ministrative board, he was deeply impressed with the prison-like methods of the institution. In order to inform himself concerning the best methods, he visited similar institutions in England, and on the Continent of Europe, but found that even there the inmates were treated much as convicts. Returning home, he presented a bill to the Legislature asking aid for the removal of the school to the country.

This bill was passed, but vetoed by the governor. The school was then removed to Glenn Mills, where adequate buildings were provided. The children are now treated as mem- bers of one great household, given the rudiments of an education, and the first lessons in a number of trades. The justification of this reform is found in the fact that instead of relapsing into vice, some 90 per cent, of these children are now redeemed to good citizenship.

Drexel founded the Drexel Institute, Mr. Rosen- garten was made one of the Board of Directors. His experience in the humane enterprises of the city, and his practical knowledge of books and libraries qualified him for the position which he still holds as President of the great Free Library System of Philadel- phia, Chairman of the Library Committee of the University of Pennsylvania and the Drexel Institute, and the prominent part which he has taken in the movement for the Extension of Uni- versity Teaching. In all of these practical affairs, Mr. Rosengarten has main- tained his interest in historical and scientific research, and has given evidence of his scholarship in a large number of publications.

Out of a lecture, delivered at the request of the German Society, many years ago, was developed his book, "The German Soldier in the Wars of America. As the friend of George Bancroft, he rendered important service to this historian's great work, The History of the United States. After the burning of the library of the Uni- versity of Strassburg, in Alsace, he assisted in making a collec- tion of books for the rehabilitation of that library.

Thus it was but fitting that he should become the first president of the German American Historical Society, which was organized and incorporated in He was chosen in one of the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, and has been devoted to the interests of the institution in all its varied activities.

Unlike most men, he has not limited his interests to one or two favorite subjects. His has not been the gift of buildings for a specific purpose, which the passerby could see, but his beneficence has been bestowed on many departments to cover the hundred urgent needs — to buy books and apparatus, to publish scientific results, to carry on special investigation, to photograph and copy valuable manu- scripts — all aids so essential to scientific research, and aids which the donor of large, individual sums, not acquainted with the needs of university work, often overlooks in endowing buildings.

Only the giver, with scientific insight, can see the value of Fel- lowships, Scholarships, and the hundred invisible aids which pro- mote the true progress of a university. It is this deeper in- sight which has made Dr. Rosengarten one of the most generous and versatile benefactors of the University, and the departments of History, Language, Literature, Mathematics, and Natural Science can all testify to his generosity. Many of the scientific enterprises, which now bear the name of Pennsylvania far be- yond the sea, have been made possible through such varied gifts.

Frazier severed his connection as Giair- man of the Library Committee, it was feared that no one could be found to continue his generosity toward the Library. Rosengarten was willing to assume the burden, thus becoming the moving force both in the University Library and the Free Library work. It is not too much to say that his services in promoting the interests of German culture in America have been even greater. His subscription was among the first on the list for the purchase of the Bech- stein Library. His name is always to be seen among the sub- scribers of every good German cause.

The same easterly wind continued, but, as it was very meagre, we made little progress. The day was clear and beautiful most of the time, but still I had to wear my wolfskin jacket. Our latitude was 49 degrees, 35 minutes. The weather was beautiful and almost calm. What little breeze we had was favorable, or SE. In the afternoon we hove to while the Commodore and our Captain were at a banquet on board a ship which was about to go with some others to West India, or Guiana and the Barbadoes.

Tow- ards night the wind began to freshen up a little from the south. The wind was slow, and began to shift to the east. In the afternoon the wind chansfed to SE. We went six and a half miles an hour, and could have gone more, if the fleet had not hindered us. In order to wait for them we had to shorten sail and sail thus all day the 3d. Four ships left us, bound for the Barbadoes and Guiana.

They gave us a farewell salute, which our Commodore answered. There was a fine, even east and NE. Our latitude was 47 degrees. From 12 o'clock of the 3d to T2 o'clock of the 4th we sailed miles. Which was Easter Sunday, the same wind contin- ued, and was good and strong. Corbin preached on the ship. The same wind continued, and to-day we sailed miles, and could have gone too miles further if the fleet had not delayed us. We took an observation and found our latitude to be 45 degrees, 9 minutes.

To-day our Commodore captured a prize, a flyboat.

Our Commodore chased another French ship, and returned with it on the 7th. It was a half-caper, carried 8 gims. It was a beautiful ship of the French type. The flyboat was of Dutch make, probably taken from them by the Dutch. April 6 and 7. The same wind continued, but began to die down gradually.

In the night the wind turned to the south, and on the 8th we had a hard storm. We were, nevertheless, able to keep our course. In the afternoon the wind shifted to the south- west, or straight against us ; therefore, we had to sail NW. The weather became quite warm, and everybody had to take off his wolfskin jacket. The crew thought we must be Diary of Rev. Andrezv Rudman ii near Newfoundland Bank, judging from the foggy weather, for the weather is continually foggy on this bank.

We were told that this bank is over leagues from Lizard. April 9 and ID. The wind was again from the south, and the weather was dismal and foggy. The wind was so dull that we could not sail more than two and a half miles an hour at most, although we carried all our sails. The first Sunday after Easter. We got a strong wind from the south in the afternoon. We then sailed W. After that we could not sail more than three to three and a half miles an hour.

Towards night the wind turned to SW. I also wrote a hymn, beginning, 'Tdel nig i evighet. The weather was very foggy, and the same con- trary wind continued. At midnight there arose a terrible storm just like the one we had under Skagen at Jutland, if not worse. The waves rose to an awful height, the sea became white and was driven before the wind like snow. This storm continued on the 13th all day; it hailed and the weather was very cold. Just before this terrible storm came, we saw four or five St.

Elmo's fires, or Castor and Pollux. They burned as bright as lanterns. The crew knew at once what it meant, namely, that a storm was brewing. But, God be praised, we lost nothing in this storm, only our dog-vanes, which were blown to pieces. Andrew Rudtnan One may judge how high the waves were from the fact that when we were down between them I could see neither the sails nor the tops of the masts nor anything else of the ship which was only two or three gunshots away from us, and was a full rigged three- master.

But I have seen the wonders of God in the sea, for I saw large ships rocking between mountains of water like little yawls, and when the waves beat against the ship it creaked so that I thought every joint would break. But, God be praised, for He held the ship together and made it strong. The storm began to abate a little in the night, so that we could shake out reefs and get under way at lo o'clock on the 14th.

We sailed northward to find the fleet, and at seven o'clock we went about and sailed SSW. We were then ten ships. We did not see the other three. The same wind continued, but was very mild. We hove to and waited for the other ships. The wind increased, so that we had to shorten sail in the afternoon and heave to. In the night there was another severe storm, in which the ship pitched terribly. One wave broke over the quarter deck, swept the whole deck, and dashed against the gallery so hard that we thought the ship was going to break to pieces.

The salt water came in through the gallery and spark- led on the floor like fire. I did not mind the storm, but delivered myself up to God and, trusting in Him, I From the phosphorescence. Andrew Rudman 13 lay down to sleep, in Jesus' name, and slept all night, except when the ship struck heavily against the waves; then I would awake, a little frightened, and breathe a prayer, after which I would go to sleep again. The wind went down a little, and we were able to get under way.

April 19 and 20, The weather was calm. Later a breeze sprang up, and we were able to keep our course, W. I had my arm lanced, on account of a fever and burning in the head. The blood looked healthy, nor could we no- tice any excessive heat in it, God be praised. May God grant that this lancing may benefit me. Belthasar Emrich, the doctor on the ship, did the lancing.

He is a Swede, born in Stockholm, The same day the bosons caught a very large turtle, a strange looking fish, having four feet like fins and a head like that of a parrot. It was large and round, like "Unnbulla'," the shell was hard as iron. April 23, The weather was perfectly calm; just before noon it rained a little. Towards evening a gentle breeze sprang up from the east, at which we rejoiced.

The sky looked as if we would have a steady strong wind. Our hopes were high, but in the night the wind shifted to the SW. It rained, and when the clouds came it blew terribly. The wind went down a little, so that we could carry the lower sails. In this way we went straining against the wind, but were able to keep our course. In the morning we had a fine ENE. May God grant that it may be steady. But it did not last longer than that day. Then we got a west wind, against which we had to tack ; it continued the rest of April.

We got a tolerable wind, and were able to keep our course ; but towards evening it shifted to the west again. This wind continued on the 2d, which was the fourth Sunday after Easter. We saw sdmle huge fishes, whales. Sometimes they would show their tails, which were two or three yards broad, above the water. We had a north wind, and sailed westward. Later the wind shifted to the east. May 3, 4, 5, 6, we had a good side wind, most of the time from SSE.

We sailed a good distance in this wind. Towards noon we had hard weather, with light- ning, thunder and rain. Just after noon the weather became fine, and a breeze sprang up from the south. The squall we had was from SW. Three of our masts broke, the mizzen mast, the main mast and the top mast. We quickly raised and adjusted other masts in their places on the 8th and 9th. May 7 and 8. The same wind continued. On the 9th, which was Ember-Day, the wind shifted to NW. We were accordingly farther to the south than we ought to be ; there- fore, we changed our course more to the west.

According to our reckoning, we were about miles from land. The sky was clear and the weather beautiful. This continued on the 12th, when there was a dead calm. We had a SSE. It began to blow more and more, so that on the 14th we had a strong wind, with rain and fog. In the afternoon it began to clear up, and the wind shifted to SSW. We saw grass and occassionally branches of trees in the water. We also saw land birds. From these things, aside Diary of Rev.

Andrew Rudman 15 from our reckonings, we judged that we were not far from land. But later we found out that we were farther than we thought. According to the reckonings of the Commodore, and all the mates of the whole fleet, we ought to be at the end of our voyage, and — yet we did not sight land. Sometimes we had good breezes, but still we were so far from land that we could not get soundings. This false reckoning they attributed to the difficulty of allowing for the ocean current, and to the fact that we had often waited for the other ships.

Which was the sixth Sunday after Easter, we had another little breeze, but it died down on the 17th. We had fine summer weather all the time; sometimes we had a good breeze, but it was soon followed by beautiful calm weather. This kind of weather prevailed almost the whole month, but the wind was contrary most of the time, either from the west or south. The night before Pentecost, there was a great deal of thunder and lightning. The thunder was not so loud as I have often heard it in Sweden, but the lightning was terrible. The wind was NW.

We then saw a water-spout. It drew the water up out of the sea into the sky. The boatswain said that it was a small one compared to one he had seen between the Canary Islands and Spain. If the water- spout breaks and falls it will crush the ship. After this we had calm, quiet weather.

We fell in with two other ships. They were from Ireland. The second one came to us on the 28th, and informed us that according to their reckoning, they had still 80 leagues to go. We met a little ship called a brigantine, from Vir- ginia, bound for England. They informed us that they had sailed from there on the 25th, and that they now reckonned 50 leagues from land. God be praised for this good news.

Bordley shot an albacore, but we did not get it because of the speed of the ship. There was such a dearth of tobacco on the ship that they scraped the bark from the hoops of barrels and smoked it. They also smoked the stems of raisins. They gave two biscuits, with pork and meat, for a pipe of tobacco.

But when the brigantine came, everybody got tobacco enough. A gentle breeze came up from the east, which continued on the 28th and began to increase a little on the 30th. At 12 o'clock P. We were then very glad. We sighted land at Island. God be praised that we at last have come so near ; but because the wind was SSE. We came towards land again, but did not come any nearer catching our prey than before; but we were a little farther to the south.

We approached the cape again. In the afternoon a fine breeze sprang up, and we heaved anchor; we had dropped it a little during the ebb of the tide. We approached land and came, God be praised, to the James River. Therefore, it is so much more incumbent upon us to give very humble thanks to God, who so conveniently brought us in. Ever- lasting glory be to God alone!

We heaved anchor and sailed farther up the James Diary of Rev. Andrew Riidman 17 River to the Commodore and the other ships. The next day we went ashore. Going up into the woods, we found a beautiful sycamore, under which we fell upon our knees and praised God for his protection and prayed for further help and support.

We re- mained ashore over night, and went aboard the next day. The soil was sandy, a little mixed with mold, and very fertile. We saw oaks, sycamores, ash trees, bird cherries, walnut trees and mulberry trees. The mulberries were good. I saw some squir- rels, a large ugly snake, beautiful song birds, swallows the swal- lows are more grayish and have a coarser voice than those in Sweden , jays, thrushes, jackdaws, small birds, etc.

I recognized some species of grass as hieracium, pseudocamedrys, veronica, etc. But I saw many kinds of grasses that I have never seen be- fore, concerning which, God willing, I shall learn more in the future. I was ashore on the other side while the Captain was at the court or council which the Governor held concerning the ships and their freighting in the Tanna river, where the fort is.

The weather was fine. There we ate a lot of mulberries, which agreed with us all except that they acted as a laxative. Some of the people living here said that they give them the cholera morbus if they eat too much of them. We left the river James because our Captain found out that we could get no cargo there, and directed our course up the bay to Maryland.

We did not get far that day. During the night a strong storm arose, NE. Towards evening the wind went down and on the i6th, about noon, when the tide came in, we proceeded a little with the wind E. This is the last entry of the diary.

Kin Charakterbild aus dem Westen von Dr. Der Philosoph im Hinterwalde. Die Farmen mit ihren schmucken Hausern und Wirth- schaftsgebauden, welche die Reisenden vom Eisenbahnzuge aus, in den mittleren und westlichen Staaten Amerikas erblicken, sind grosstenteils iiber das Griindungsstadium hinaus und lassen nur errathen, mit welchen Schwierigkeiten dieselben vor 50 Jahren aus dem jungfraulichen Boden mit zuweilen starkem Holzbestand hergerichtet und gebaut wurden.

Die deutschen Emigranten, welche hierher in die Freiheit fliichteten, waren mit keinen beson- deren Gliicksgiitern ausgestattet: Gehorten sie dem Gelehrtenstande an, so mussten sie sich erst an die Handarbeit gewohnen, und das war keine Kleinigkeit. Es legten sich von den studirten Achtundvierzigern, welche zu An- fang der fiinfziger Jahre vorigen Jahrhunderts nach Amerika ka- men, auch nur wenige auf den Landbau, ihre Hande waren nicht fest genug, den Pflug zu meistern und den rauhen Boden zu be- stellen.

Die jugendlichen Reformers wollten auch hier lieber das grosse Wort fiihren, wie in Deutschland, und stiirzten sich in Zeitungsunternehmungen oder in die politische Arena, wo sie sich zuweilen vermassen, alteren Ansiedlern ihre oft unklaren, radikalen Vorschlage aufzudringen. Da war es kein Wunder, wenn es zwischen den Grunen und Grauen oft zu Auseinander- setzungen kam und Jahre dariiber hingehen mussten, bis diese Gegensatze ausgeglichen wurden, um dann zum gemeinsamen Wirken vorgehen zu konnen.

Bayr- hoffer, geboren in Marburg, am Oktober , war in seiner Vaterstadt als ordentlicher Professor der Philosophic an der Uni- versitat angestellt, als er zum Mitgliede der Kurhessischen Stan- deversammlung gewahlt wurde und mit seinem Gesinnungsge- nossen Dr. Gottlieb Theodor Kellner zusammenwirkte. Seine Theilnahme an der sogenannten lichtfreundlichen Bewegung und an der Politik seines engeren Heimatlandes, zogen ihm Verfol- gungen zu, denen er sich durch die Auswanderung nach Amerika entzog. Er fand endlich nach langem Suchen des Professors Farm und ihn selbst beim Kiihemelken.

Da die Schweine ins Kornfeld ausgebrochen wa- ren, so mussten dieselben zuiiickgetrieben werden und der Pro- fessor ertheilte ihm, auf das Loch zeigend, wo sie durchgegangen waren, die Belehrung: Das Terrain mit seinen Hohen und Felsgestein ent- lockte Otto Niemeier einige Bewunderung, worauf die Frau Pro- fessorin mit einer weiteren Belehrung fiir ihn bemerkte: Wir hatten bedenken sollen, dass auf den Bergen die Freiheit wohnt; also kann kein Korn dort wachsen. Die Gottin wohnt rentefrei bei uns; wir aber haben diese Praxis theuer be- zahlen miissen. Romantik ist ein hiibscher Nachtisch, wenn man satt ist.

Die ersten Zeiten in Amerika waren miihevolle, arbeits- schwere Jahre gewesen, da ein gut Theil praktischer Kenntnisse gesammelt werden mussten, um einigermassen Erfolg zu haben. Bayrhoffer hatte sich dieser Thatigkeit denn auch mit Fleiss hin- gegeben, die Politik bot damals wenig Erfreuliches und der Fort- schrittsfreund musste auf bessere Zeiten warten.

Die kamen ja auch, als die republikanische Partei geboren wurde und der Kampf gegen die Sklaverei ernstlich betrieben werden konnte. Bayrhoffer schloss sich dieser Partei an, half bei der Erwahlung Lincolns und unterstiitzte die Unions-Partei gegen die Rebellion. Sein altester Sohn Karl zog als Freiwilliger mit in den Krieg.

Als dann der Friede wieder hergestellt war, ging Bayrhoffer iiber die Grenzen seiner Partei, hinaus zu weiterer Reformarbeit. Aus diesen Vortragen entstand das Buch: Bayrhoffer; gedruckt bei Denhard und Witte, Ottawa, Ills. An diese Thatigkeit kniipfte er nun auf der Prarie in Illinois wieder an und wirkte durch sein Buch auch in weiteren Kreisen.

The music of Bohuslav Martinu is too often overlooked. Or it is listened to without the close attention it deserves. A childhood spent living in the belltower of a village church left its mark on his harmony, a bracing fusion of open dissonances and church mode-derived chordal sequences. One hears the assimilation of New World elements - racy jazz rhythms and hints of Broadway musicals, the clamor and energy of the big city, the scope of 's cinema; one is reminded of other austere European modernists reveling in their new environment, Mondrian and his "Broadway Boogie Woogie" among many others.

But the darkness of the war years and the pain of exile keep returning in Martinu's music as ghostly echoes; a genuine grief finally overwhelms the Quintet. Martinu contributed striking qualities to the music of the mid-century. Long stretches of roiling timbres with only minuscule harmonic changes are typical; a music that teems below a static surface. Formally the music is simple, but up close it is densely figured and sonically detailed. Rhythmic ambiguity adds to a sense of vastness, and there are moments of pure atmosphere that are unequalled among his contemporaries. UC San Diego's premiere chamber ensemble: Karis has also invited Yiheng Yvonne Wu, a Ph.

Candidate in Music Composition studying with Katharina Rosenberger, to write a small piano concerto for this concert. Scored for solo piano Kyle Adam Blair , two percussionists Jonathan Hepfer and Ryan Nestor , and a nine-piece ensemble of winds, brass, and strings, Dreams of a Young Piano explores the contradictory percussive and lyrical properties of the piano, especially in relation to other instruments.

The piano and percussion, which form a wide triangle across the stage, initially exchange pointed attacks, while the ensemble's intermittent appearances come from a separate temporal and harmonic world. The percussion and piano gradually elongate their sounds and enlist the forces of the ensemble. Ultimately, the ensemble becomes an extension of the piano, and all resonate together as a single body.

In addition to the pieces by UC San Diego composers Liang and Wu, Karis has selected Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Donald Martino's rarely heard Triple Concerto for clarinet, bass clarinet, and contrabass clarinet , considered by many to be the composer's masterpiece. Martino's provenance reaches back to his work with composers Roger Sessions and Milton Babbitt as well as his studies with Luigi Dallapiccola in Italy as a Fulbright scholar. Matt Kline is equally at home as a double bassist, composer and improviser. His music often combines all three of these areas and has provided him a very diverse musical career.

As a double bassist, he writes extensively for the instrument using new and original techniques. Recently, he performed as principal double bassist under the conductor and composer Krzysztof Penderecki. He previously was a member of the Renew ensemble, a group that specialized in contemporary improvisation. In he was a winner in the Robert Avalon composition competition.
