You might wish to try my colleague, Richard Wevers. He has most of Calvin
on disk or tape, and is willing to help other scholars who have questions on
Calvin.

Prof. Wevers' address is WEVE@calvin.edu.

Subject: If it wasn't written down...

I can't say that I have an exact answer to the source of the saying "If it
wasn't written down, it didn't happen", but there is a maxim that belongs
to the great botanist Linnaeus. He said "Nomina si nescis, perit et cognitio
rerum", which means that if you don't know the names, knowledge of the things
is lost."

Subject: Source of Information on the English Academy

Since I got a few requests for further information on the English
Academy, I'm sending this to the whole list.

In looking through my notes from 10 years ago, I discovered I'm not as
much of a packrat as I thought. I didn't find any of my notes on the
English Academy, but I have located a chapter in _A History of the
English Language_ (I have the Third Edition) by Albert C. Baugh and
Thomas Cable. Chapter 9, The Appeal to Authority, covered the
Augustan Age with considerable emphasis on attempts to organize an
English Academy. It also has numerous references to other works, many
from the 1920s and 30s, on the English Academy.

I agree with Susan Hockey that Anthony Kenny's book The Computation of
Style is excellent. (Kenny has authored an astonishing list of books, by
the way.) Many of the examples in my book Icon Programming for Humanists
(Prentice Hall) are in effect automations of material proposed by Kenny.

Try the International Encyclopedia of Unified Science (Chicago,
1955). I think there is a section on the empirical study of the
foundations of science. Peter Kuniholm
