Annual Stephen Crane Lecture Scheduled, Graduate Students Encouraged to Attend
”The Body Count: Stephen Crane and the Cost of War.”
I am writing on behalf of my colleagues to invite you to the upcoming Stephen Crane Memorial Lecture, hosted annually by the English Department and the Dikaia Foundation. We are honored this year to have Cindy A. Weinstein, Professor of English at California Institute of Technology, give this year’s lecture. She will speak at 4 p.m. on October 19th in Room 208 of the Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center. The title of her talk is ”The Body Count: Stephen Crane and the Cost of War.”
A member of the faculty in Cal Tech’s Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor Weinstein is widely recognized for her work in nineteenth-century American literature. The Literature of Labor and the Labors of Literature traces the intersections of aesthetic and economic discourse in nineteenth-century America. Her most recent book, Family, Kinship, and Sympathy in Nineteenth-Century American Literature, published by Cambridge University Press in 2004, argues that the cultural achievement of the enormously popular sentimental fictions of the mid-nineteenth century was to challenge the very constitution of the bourgeois family, substituting love for consanguinity, contract for biology. Professor Weinstein is currently at work on Narratives, Numbers, and Pictures: From Poe to Dos Passos, the project from which her lecture will be drawn. In this moment when counting the bodies, whether of the Iraqi dead or those lost in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is a matter of serious political and ethical debate, Professor Weinstein’s inquiry into the question of numbers—of who is counting and who counts—in the work of late nineteenth century writers is an unusually timely one. Like last year’s Crane Lecture by Cecelia Tichi, Weinstein’s talk promises to focus on the ways in which writers use narrative to confront issues of urgent civic importance and to confirm the vital public import of scholarship in the humanities.
The Stephen Crane Memorial Lecture series is made possible by the generosity of the Dikaia Foundation. It commemorates the achievements of Stephen Crane, who attended Syracuse University in 1891 and was a member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity from which the Dikaia Foundation derives. We are very pleased that a scholar of Crane and his generation of U.S. writers of Professor Weinstein’s prominence will address us on this special occasion.
We hope you will join us for Professor Weinstein’s lecture and at the reception following it.
Sincerely,
Amy Schrager Lang
Professor of English and Humanities

SuperEGO Soccer Club's Passionate Effort Ends in Heartbreaking Defeat
SuperEGO, the English Dept intramural soccer team, dropped a heartbreaking loss to the Rancho Carne Toros
on Sunday night, surrendering a goal in the final minute and losing, 3-2.
After absorbing some early pressure, EGO struck first in the match. John Henderson & Ben Krier helped to
set up the sequence that ended with Michael Montero slipping the ball past the Toros keeper to take a 1-0
lead.
The SuperEGO defense, anchored by Meghan Boyle, stood up to the task of defending the lead. John Henderson
and Laura Winkiel frustrated their opponents with some stingy defense on the wings, and producing some
counter-attacks. Late in the period, Mike Dwyer was sprung on a breakaway, but came up empty as the
opposing keeper made the save. Cruelly, the Toros were able to equalize on a long-distance shot, just before
halftime.
The second half started unevenly, when goalie Mike O'Connor was tested several times. Save after save
was coaxed out of O'Connor, when finally a busted play (and dubious offside non-call) gave the Toros a 2-1
lead.
EGO struck right back on the ensuing kickoff. Some clever combination play between Ben Krier and Mike
Dwyer brought the equalizer within seconds, leveling the score at 2-2.
The rest game was a very even affair, with both sides playing tight defense and making the most of their
chances. EGO's defense tightened up, with strong efforts from Amata Schneider-Ludorff and Ali Hasan in
the defensive third.
With the clock winding down and fatigue setting in, it
was the Toros who mounted one last attack. A shot
from outside the box just escaped O'Connor's reach to
give the Toros the gamewinner with just 38 seconds
left to play.
One final SuperEGO attack was stymied when Michael Montero's shot was blocked by the defense. Still, it
was a valiant effort, and a whole lot of fun. Thanks to everyone that came out to play or just came to
watch. Next game is Tuesday Oct 11 at 9:45 pm!
