Letter, 22 Feb. 2001, from Maude T. Jenkins, re Richard Greener items she had sent to Greener scholar Michael Mounter; Mounter's "Bibliography of Materials for Richard Theodore Greener Dissertation Project"; and copy of John H. Roper's 1973 University of North Carolina thesis, "The Radical Mission: The University of South Carolina in Reconstruction."

"This play was commissioned by the University of South Carolina as part of its bicentennial celebration in 2001. It is about Richard T. Greener (1844-1922), the first black to graduate from Harvard University, [and] the first to serve on the faculty of at the University of South Carolina ... In 1907, Greener returned to South Carolina to tour the state and speak at several universities, including USC. This play imagines a speech he might have given there"--Background, p. i.

Cassandra has only one functional, fulfilling relationship in her life, and that's with Izzy - her cat. When he dies in her arms, she is plunged into debilitating grief and sets out to find him. What follows is a rumination on morality and personal journey through sorrow and back, ultimately, to a newly negotiated comfort.

Abstract: "The microbial loop is composed of large group of microscopic organisms ranging from bacteria to tiny animals (bactivors) which feed upon them. The loop functions in Chesapeake Bay as a major catalyst of nutrient and carbon cycling and may also form the base of a food web analogous to the more usual phytoplankton-zooplankton system. Two metabolic groups within the loop, aerobic heterotrophic bacteria which inhabit the Bay's water column and anaerobic sulfate-reducing heterotrophic bacteria residing chiefly in Bay sediments, are responsible for anoxic/hypoxic conditions in Bay deep waters. An unusually large amount of carbon and energy in the Bay now seems to be dissipated by the microbial loop rather than transferred up the food web. The magnitude of carbon flow and oxygen consumption processes attributable to the microbial loop may be decreased by nutrient reduction (supply side) on species replenishment (demand side) strategies. Augmentation of filter-feeding communities (e.g. oysters) and/or submerged aquatic vegetation may be particularly important to the latter strategy. Monitoring efforts need to include assessment of microbial loop biomass and metabolism. Further research is necessary to explore ways to decrease the influence of the microbial loop in the Bay's ecosystem."
