To Make Plans
Third Of 7,000 Wilkes j
Graduates Are Local
Noting that approximately 33%
of the 7,000 Wilkes College gradu
ates are still residing in Greater
Wyoming Valley, the local insti
tution's Alumni Office has
launched a campaign to reorgan
ize the local chapter.
The first meeting toward this
end was held recently at Weckcsser Hall, under the guidance
of Arthur Hoover, director of;
alumni affairs. The meeting fol-!
lowed a dinner at which the new
president of the college, Dr.'
Francis J. Michelini, and former
president and now chancellor.!
Dr. Eugene S. Farley, spoke to!
23 association members who will
work on the local chapter cam
paign.
At the same time plans were
discussed for the Alumni Asso-i
ciation activities to be held dur-i
ing the 1970-71 school year. Pete
Winebrake was named tempo
rary chairman of a committee to
work out plans for the annual!
homecoming which will be held '
October 16-17-18.
A meeting of the homecoming
committee will be held Wednes
day evening at 8 at Weckesscr
Hall. All alumni members who
would care to assist with the
Homecoming are welcome to at-'
tend.
During the recent meeting. Mr.;
Hoover explained the college’s
concern over the rebuilding of:
the campus chapter of the Alum-'
ni Association,
“Right now we have some 20
chapters sprinkled throughout
the nation,” Hoover said, “and
we have plans for many more
where concentration of Wilkes
alumni will support such effort.
But we also feel that the campus
chapter—the one which could ex
ist from the more than 2,000 local
graduates — should be molded
into a stronger unit to form the
nucleus around which the out-oftown chapters might become
stronger and more active.”

Building a
Great Wilkes
BY DR.TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
T'S HARDTO BELIEVE, BUT I’M ENTERING MY SIXTH YEAR AS PRESIDENT OF WILKES
University. And it has been such an honor and pleasure to serve.
When 1 accepted the presidency, 1 knew Wilkes was unique. It was unique
because of its commitment to students and its active involvement in the
gion’s development. My thought at the time — and even more so today__is
that these are the very qualities that die colleges of the future must possess.
Building on these qualities over the past five years, we have become an
even stronger institution. With the help of the entire university community, we
have defined mentoring as the way we connect with and challenge our students,
grown our enrollments by 30 percent, developed exciting new academic
programs, begun to revitalize the campus, provided more competitive
compensation and strengthened our finances — all things to be celebrated.
But as our journey to greater strength has progressed, there has been a surpris
ing but significant turn of events. Without explicitly planning it, we have shifted
from being an institution that was working hard to be very good to one that has
the potential to be truly great. But to be great is even harder work and it involves
significant change. The university community is rising to the challenge, but we
are talking about change and it is both threatening and difficult. As one trustee
recently said to me, “1 admire your ambitions for Wilkes, but I’m not sure every
one has the faith in Wilkes you do.” I responded, “That’s my challenge — to help
as many as I can see the enormous opportunities before Wilkes and to believe we
can realize them.”
I know building a great Wilkes University will not be easy. But I also know
that the opportunities before us far outweigh any risks we might face. We will
need the help of our alumni — your talent, time and treasure — more than ever.
As heartening as the news about Wilkes is the progress in Wilkes-Barre. My
fitness program centers on walking around the campus and town. Lately, I’ve
been feeling like a sidewalk superintendent to an awakening city. It is exhilarat
ing. Its not just the projects about to be completed or underway — the new 14
screen theatre, the renovation of the Sterling Hotel, the development of the river
front, the installation of new streetlights, or the plans of local retailers to expand
or upgrade their establishments. It's the significant shift in tone and attitude
among those with whom 1 work. There is a growing sense that our city will soon
become a lovely, artsy college town on the Susquehanna.
I have to tell you it’s fun to walk around campus and town and feel this sense
of optimism and possibility. And it’s even more inspiring to have the role 1 have
been dealt in all of this. Come to Homecoming this fall and see it all — you
so proud of your alma mater, nestled in a great, reawakening city and in the
process of defining a vital role for itself in the 21st century. L! I

The Gift of a Lifetime
Wilkes University's development office is offering personalized illustrations
of how a gift annuity could work for you. It may be just what you are
looking for to combine your charitable giving with your income needs.
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY IS A
t % simple contract between
you and Wilkes
K
* University. In
exchange for your irrevocable gift
of cash, securities or other assets,
Wilkes agrees to pay one or two
annuitants you name a fixed sum
each year for life. The older your
designated annuitants are at the
time of the gift, the greater the fixed
income Wilkes University can agree
to pay. In most cases, part of each
payment is tax-free, increasing each
payments after-tax value.
Seven Benefits of
a Gift Annuity
1. Fixed and Secure Income for Life
Your payment rate will be locked
in at the time you obtain your gift
annuity. It will not rise or fall with
the economy. Instead, it will be
the same amount every year_
and that can mean a lot in
uncertain times.
2. Attractive Rates
When you compare Wilkes
University's gift annuity rates with
what you might receive from a
savings account or certificate of
deposit, you will likely be
pleasantly surprised.
3. Regular Payments
When you establish your gift
annuity, you decide how often you
want to receive your payments.
Whether you choose to receive
checks or direct deposits every'
quarter, semiannually' or only
once-a-year, whatever you choose,
receiving your regular payments
on a specific, predetermined date
is comforting and helpful for
planning purposes.
4. Lifetime Benefit
Gift annuities are for life. No
alter what your age now or how
long you live, payments will
continue right to the very- end
This benefit of ongoing payments
can provide security for you as
you grow older.
5. Dependable Source
Wilkes University stands behind
all our gift annuities. We have a
reserve fund set aside to meet our
obligations. We want you to feel
safe and secure and to have
confidence that your payments
will continue without fail.
6. Relieffrom Taxes
Since part of y'our contribution
for a gift annuity is considered a
charitable gift by the IRS, you will
receive an income tax charitable
deduction to apply on an
itemized return. Also, during
your lifetime, you will be able to
claim part of the annuity payment
as tax-free income.
7. Simple Process
Obtaining a gift annuity from
Wilkes University is easy. We
provide you with a tailor-made
illustration and materials you can
share with your family' and
advisor(s).
For further information about
Wilkes University’s gift annuity
program, use the postcard reply
inserted in this page, send an e-mail

Whatever your interest, with a
little planning, your legacy can
last forever.

Oct. 11, 2006, marks the 60th anniversary of intercol
legiate football at Wilkes, part of the revival of intercol
legiate sports at what was then Bucknell University
Junior College (BUJC) following the end of World War 11.
The establishment of a football team was a major
undertaking. The college did not have a coach, property
suitable for practice or game play, or any football
equipment. These problems were solved quickly. George
Ralston was recruited from the college's Veteran's Guidance
Center staff to coach the team. An arrangement was made
with nearby Kingston High School to use its field on
weekends when Kingston was playing away games. Lastly,
Wilkes-Barre city officials gave their permission to use the
field in Kirby Park for the team's practices.
The team was assembled and organized in less than six
weeks. The players were all student volunteers, the
majority being veterans of World War 11. At the same
time, other enterprising students showed their support
for the new team. A pre-game pep rally was scheduled
along the dike, and one student named Reese Pelton
organized a band to support the athletic events.
The first football team played six games with various
junior college level teams. It gave up only two
touchdowns and finished the season undefeated. The
combined season score was BUJC - 95, opponents - 12.
As an article in the 1947 BUJC Yearbook noted, "Rarely
docs a football team make such an imposing start.”

Alumnus Flies American
Flag Over Iraq For Wilkes
Football Team
This spring, Wilkes University
welcomed home a hero. U.S. Air
Force Captain Tom Yeager ’96
returned to campus for the first time
in more than six years to make a
special presentation to the Wilkes
football team. An F-15 fighter pilot,
Yeager flew an American flag over
Iraq on a recent mission for
Operation Iraqi Freedom. He
presented the flag, along with a
mission certificate, to head football
coach Frank Sheptock and more
than 80 members of the football
team who turned out to meet and
welcome the captain. The flag will
fly at Ralston Field during the fall
sports season.
Yeager, who credits his experiences
as a student athlete and coach
Sheptock for providing him with the
leadership skills necessary to be a
good soldier, spoke to the team about
his career as a pilot, the war on
terrorism and the importance of team
building, leadership and mentorship.
“Wilkes University’ was a building
block to where 1 am today,” Yeager
said. “I feel my time on the football
field with fellow teammates and the
leadership of coach Sheptock
mirrors everyday’ life as an Air Force
fighter pilot.”
Yeager also showed the team a

■ observer of issues
affecting our global world. So it
was with great pleasure that I took
advantage of an opportunity to
meet and interview Wilkes alumnus
Fred Gedrich ’73 during a recent
trip to Washington, D.C. Fred is a
former U.S. Department of Defense
and State Department official who
is now a foreign policy expert and
national security analyst.
In his 28 years of government
sen ice, Fred traveled throughout
the United States and to U.S.
missions in more than 50 countries.
He has also attended UN World
Summits in Monterrey, Mexico and
Johannesburg. South Africa.
Fred has appeared on the BBC,
CNN, Fox News Channel and
MSNBC and has been a guest on
hundreds of radio stations
throughout the country discussing
U.S. relations with other countries
and international organizations as
well as the global war on terror. An
accomplished writer, his articles
have been published and used by
United Press International, Le
Monde, CBS News, The Miami
Herald, American Enterprise
Institute Magazine and National
Review. He is also a contributing
author to “War Footing: 10 Steps
America Must Take to Prevail in
the War for the Free World.”
Fred splits his time working as
executive vice president for
MobilVox, Inc., a software
engineering and wireless
technology firm.
For this cover story, Fred shared
his informed opinions on a number
of topics affecting our country’s
national security and political
landscape, including the war in
Iraq, global terrorism, national
security, freedom and democracy,
and the state of our post-9/11 world.
Q - Tell ns about how you moved
from a Willies graduate to the State
Department in the 1980s to a
foreign polity analyst now?
i
A - After graduating from Wilkes in
1973,1 accepted a position with the
Department of the Navy. I trans
ferred to the Department of Defense
in 1983 after receiving a master’s
degree from Central Michigan
University. At Defense, my duties
included evaluating major aircraft,
missile, shipbuilding and space
programs. In 1987,1 moved to the
U.S. State Department. My first
assignment at State took me to Paris,
Warsaw and Nairobi. Some other
notable assignments included
Beijing during the Tiananmen
Square Massacre, Beirut under
hostile conditions, several African
countries undergoing political and
economic turmoil, Haiti during the
embargo, and the newly
independent states in the former
Soviet Union shortly after the
collapse of the communist empire.
Many of those experiences, as well
as my strong interest in U.S.
national security and foreign policy
issues, opened the doors to radio
and television appearances and
publication in the print media after
my retirement from federal service.
Q — On to the hard questions. In
your opinion, can the United States
win the war in Iraq?
A - Certainly. However, final victory
will require continued patience,
resolve and sacrifice by the U.S. and
its allies, and the bravery and
commitment of millions of Iraqis
thirsting for freedom, liberty and
peace after enduring decades of
abuse, oppression and war under the
tight-fisted rule of Saddam Hussein.
Unfortunately, the quick military
victory over Saddam’s regime by
coalition forces has not quelled the
violence in Iraq. Much of the
mayhem is being perpetrated by
several thousand foreign terrorists
loyal to al Qaeda’s Sunni-bred
terrorists Osama bin Laden and Abu
Musab al Zarqawi and about 20,000
Saddam loyalists. Operating mostly
in four Sunni Triangle provinces,
they use asymmetric warfare tactics
in contravention of Geneva conven
tions and protocols by hiding in
civilian populations, wearing
civilian clothes, and deliberately
targeting innocents, mostly Shi’a, for
slaughter. Nonetheless, 14 of Iraq’s
other provinces, possessing Iraq’s
substantial oil reserves, are relatively
secure and improving economically.
Iraq’s three free elections last year
and recent formation of a
permanent, unified government
representing the country’s three
major groups strongly suggests the
terrorists and insurgents will
eventually fail. Freedom and
democracy will not come easy to
Iraq. Its neighbors include the
terrorist states of Iran and Syria and
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In those
countries, the concept of individual
liberty is disdained and conditions
allow groups like al Qaeda to gestate
among the populations.
Q — How long will and should the
U.S. military be in Iraq?
A - However long the U.S.
considers it to be in our national
security interest. In 1998, President
Clinton made it U.S. policy, by
signing the Iraq Liberation Act, to
depose Saddam Hussein's regime. In
2002, Congress voted overwhelm
ingly to pass the “Joint Resolution
to Authorize the use of U.S. Armed
Forces Against Iraq." It chronicles

Both chambers of Congress recently
voted to reaffirm the U.S.
commitment to the Iraqi people. In
the three years that have elapsed
since the U.S.-led coalition forcibly
removed the Hussein regime from
power, Iraq has regained its sover
eignty, held three free elections,
and formed a permanent constitu

achievement occurred in consid
erably less time, and with far fewer
casualties for the U.S., than
occurred during another era in
Germany, Japan and South Korea.

Truman's leadership and foresight,

Syria and North Korea. A premature
departure would also put
Americans, Iraqis and citizens of
other countries at greater risk by
ceding this resource-abundant
country to enemies who would like
nothing more than to turn it into a
terrorist-haven and totalitarian state.
Q - Has the U.S. presence in Iraq
distracted us from dismantling al
Qaeda and finding Osama bin
Laden who is thought to be in
hiding in Afghanistan?
A - No. Al Qaeda reportedly has
cells in more than 60 countries,
including Iraq. And the group has
deliberately attacked and killed
innocents in the U.S. and Iraq and
also in places like Bali, Beirut,
Casablanca. Dar es Salaam, Istanbul,
Jakarta. Jerusalem. London, Madrid,
Nairobi and Riyadh. Since 9/11, the
U.S., with the assistance of allies,
has reportedly been able to capture
or kill more than two-thirds of al
Qaeda's leadership including the
groups chief planner of the 9/11
attacks. Sheik Mohammed, and its
leader in Iraq, the late al Zarqawi.
Regarding bin Laden’s whereabouts,
various intelligence reports have
him hiding in Afghanistan, Iran,
Pakistan or Yemen. While it is
important that he be eventually
brought to justice for attacks on the
U.S. and other crimes against
humanity, he has become increas
ingly irrelevant to the war, mainly
because it does not appear that
present circumstances allow him to
exercise direct command and
control authority over his terrorist
network.
Q — Will the Iraq war remain a
polarizing issue in the U.S. and
allied countries?
A - Yes. Having two major U.S.
political parties guarantees
passionate differences on war and
peace decisions and constant
challenges to administration policy.
That is precisely how our political
system works. And it sends a
powerful message to friend and foe
alike that our country's disagree
ments are settled at the ballot box
S-aaaas
and in congressional chambers
through civil discourse and the
rule of law - rather than the dark
places inhabited by some of the
world’s most sinister forces where
scores are customarily settled by
bombs, bullets and terrorism.
However, I do not expect the
political rifts which occurred
between some Free World
countries over Iraq to continue.
France and Germany, two major
critics of the U.S.-led military
intervention in Iraq, are now
working closely with the U.S. to
prevent the terrorist state of Iran
from developing a nuclear weapons
program.
Q - You’ve traveled extensively to
more than 50 foreign countries,
two UN Summits and have been at
the epicenter of many world events.
Is American hatred or resentment
on the rise?
A - On a government-togovernment basis, I would answer
the question in the affirmative.
According to Freedom House - a
democracy focused group co
founded by Eleanor Roosevelt the 191 member-nations of the UN
are split into two main groups: 87
free nations and 104 nations that
are not. The latter group includes
45 of the most oppressive regimes
and human rights abusers in the
world and the six countries desig
nated by the U.S. as terrorist
states. Most UN members,
including some of our putative
Free World allies in Europe like
France, do not like the U.S. status
as Free World leader and President
Bush’s stated national security
strategy of defeating global
terrorism by promoting and
expanding global freedom and
democracy and using pre-emptive
force to eliminate threats to
U.S. security. And they collectively
show their disdain for the U.S. by
collectively voting against U.S.
supported positions in the general
assembly about 75 percent of the
time on important issues such as
terrorism, arms control, and
human rights. However, from the
perspective of the estimated 2.3
billion people living under
oppression and another billion or
so living in abject poverty in
developing countries, the answer
is quite different. If given the
chance, the vast majority of
[oppressed people] would migrate
to the U.S. in a nanosecond. The
long lines customarily seen at
overseas U.S. consulate offices
offer the best proof of their
feelings toward the United States.
In their eyes, the U.S. is a bastion
of freedom and the land of hope
and opportunity.
Q - Five years after the September
11th attacks, in your opinion, wliat
is the current state of national
security in the U.S.?

building on its commitment to
mentoring with the introduction of
a new e-Mentoring program for
incoming freshmen.
“Wilkes’ e-Mentoring program is
designed to give all freshmen a
student-level outlet for advice both
online and face-to-face," said Philip
Ruthkosky, director of student
development. “As the transition
from high school to college often
presents a difficult blend of
academic, social and cultural
challenges, this program is intended
to help in the transition and provide
a supportive environment for
academic and personal growth."
For their first semester at Wilkes,
each new student is paired with an
e-Mentor from a similar major. In
May, the incoming freshmen
received a personalized letter from
their e-Mentor offering support and
inviting them to contact them with
questions or concerns prior to
orientation. “This is one of the more
exciting and unique elements of the
program," Ruthkosky added.
“Incoming freshmen will have
access to students before they arrive
on campus. While still in high
school, they are learning from the
experiences of their e-Mentors,
asking questions and learning about
topics that normally wouldn’t arise
until they've moved on campus.
“Based on the amount of infor
mation they are receiving early on,
this may be the most knowledgeable:
freshman class to ever enter
Wilkes,” Ruthkosky said.
Capitalizing on the popularity of
social networks like MySpace and
Facebook, the cornerstone of the eMentoring program is the Freshman
Mentoring Network, an online
community designed exclusively for
freshmen. The Freshman Mentoring
Network is a non-intimi
dating place for students to
send confidential notes to
£
their e-Mentors, post
discussion topics on
message boards, access
academic support resources
and receive tips on common
first-year challenges such as
time management,
roommate relations and
studying skills.
“The e-Mentoring
platform is great because it marries
mentoring with an online
component that today’s students are
already savvy and comfortable
with,” said Mark Allen, dean of
students. “It sends a clear message
to our new students that mentoring
is part of the culture at Wilkes and
they will be provided with that
support right from the beginning."
To help develop the e-Mentoring
program, a survey was conducted
last year to gather the thoughts,
concerns, suggestions and experi
ences of the then-freshman class.
The survey results showed that twothirds of the students believe they
would have benefited from a mentor
during their freshman year. Their
feedback also was used as topics on
the Freshman Mentoring Network
message boards about common
first-year issues.

With such a positive response
from the student body, it was not

Freshman Mentoring Network to
communicate with her mentees.
“We have been using the e-Mentoring
network to send notes and keep
each other up-to-date with college
and orientation preparation infor

feature on the network is the
message boards. They give mentors
the opportunity to share their
experiences with all the freshmen
in a sort of open forum."
Anthony Troianiello, an
incoming freshman and one of
Strzelecki’s mentees, agrees. “The eMentoring program has been very
helpful, and the online network is
an easy way for me to ask questions
and receive answers,” Troianiello
said. “I also like the message
boards. They give you a lot of
helpful information that you may
have not thought about.”
Although the Freshman

component to the e-Mentoring
program, interaction is more than

Our Changing
Landscape
BY DR.TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
ORTHOSE OF YOU WHO VISITTHE WILKES CAMPUS, I'M SURE YOU'LL NOTICE
the significant improvements to our beautiful university grounds and
revitalized downtown. The Wilkes University Board of Trustees
dedicated alumni and regional leaders are working hard to improve
the campus and downtown business district. If you haven’t visited recently
you should see what you are missing! In the meantime, take a minute to read
| the cover and feature stories in this issue to gain an understanding of the
| latest developments.
£
The feature story on the new pergola demonstrates the impact an alumnus can
have on the landscape of Wilkes University. Clayton Karambelas ’49 and his
wonderful wife, Theresa, should be commended for their unique contribution of
a Greek pergola that will soon grace the Greenway next to the Alumni House.
This wonderful tribute will be enjoyed for generations by students and alumni.
For all of us here in Wilkes-Barre, the wait for a downtown bookstore has
taken a decade. But the presence of a Barnes & Noble College Superstore
near Public Square on South Main Street was worth the wait. It is everything
we had hoped for. With 20,000 square feet of retail space, this academic
superstore will serve students from King’s College, Luzerne County
Community College and Wilkes University as well as theater-goers, shoppers
and others looking to reignite downtown nightlife.
Wilkes could not have done this alone. Without close collaboration with our
friends at King’s, and without the assistance of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Business and Industry and the city and county governments, this wonderful
development would not have materialized. This is the first time that two colleges
have collaborated with Barnes & Noble to jointly operate a bookstore anywhere
in the U.S. It shows a commitment to think in new ways so we can best serve our
students and our community. I hope it is just the beginning of innovative ways to
improve student services and to lower the costs of doing business.
This issue of Universe also includes the Report of Gifts for 2005-2006. You
will find hundreds of names of alumni who, over the years, have supported
students through generous giving to scholarships and general fund needs. 1
want to personally thank each and ever}' one of you for your support. We
should all be pleased that Wilkes has raised SI million more this year than
two years ago. To reach our goal of becoming a premier university in the Mid
I
1
Atlantic Region, we will need everyone’s continued support.
The Report of Gifts also shows that Wilkes University raised 5100,000 for
student scholarships from local businesses and corporations in support of the
Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership “Outstanding Leadership Fund.
Hope to see you on campus soon. L! I

In Memory/ln Honor:
Emilio A. Marianelli '73
Made a Great Investment
Emilio Marianelli ’73 was looking
for ways to honor Dr. Umid Nejib,
who passed away in 2002 after
serving Wilkes for 37 years. Dr.
Nejib was a professor of electrical
engineering, dean of the school of
science and engineering and was
responsible for the development and
accreditation of the Doctor of
Pharmacy program.
“Let’s keep Dr. Nejib’s vision and
memory fresh for future genera
tions,” was what Emilio had in mind
when he made a generous gift to
increase the Nejib Scholarship Fund.
The funds of an endowment will
never be exhausted. Earnings from
these invested funds will provide
talented students with a chance to
realize their educational dreams.
Ninety-seven percent of our
undergraduate students receive
financial assistance from Wilkes,
and this support often makes the
difference whether a student can
attend or not.
Why not follow Marianelli’s lead
to increase Wilkes’ endowments
when you want to make a gift in
memory or in honor of a special
person in your life?
Learn more by calling the
Development Office at 570-408-4300.

Fenner Quadrangle and
Residence Halls Get Facelift
As part of the university’s 20-ycar
master plan to create a green, urban
campus, an additional 3.2 acres of
green space is being added to the
Fenner Quadrangle, making “the
quad" a more inviting, student
friendly place. Expansion and
landscaping of the green space is
expected to be completed by the
end of the year.
An artist renderingj depicts Delaware and
Chesapeake residen
:nce hall renovations.
The project coincides with a
SI.5 million renovation of the
Delaware and Chesapeake
residence halls, which are located
at the north end of the quad. The
renovation project will add 12 beds,
a sprinkler system, central air
conditioning, a center skylight and
Wi-Fi capabilities, plus new
furniture, lighting and windows to
the halls. While under
construction, the university is
leasing housing around the Wilkes
campus until the buildings reopen
for the 2007-08 academic year.
Other residence halls arc slated for
improvement or renovations over
the next 15 years.

The campus is getting greener thanks to expansion of the Fenner Quadrangle.
The Evans Hall parking lot was
removed to make room for greenway
expansion. Parking has shifted to the
new University Center on Main
parking garage in the 100 block of
South Main Street. Another element
to the project is construction of a
pergola, a canopied walkway, made
possible by a gift from alumnus

Wilkes Purchases High-Rise
Apartment Complex
Wilkes University officials recently
announced they have reached an
agreement of sale to purchase
University Towers, a 130-unit
apartment building located at 10 E.
South Street in Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes
will purchase the building for
S8.2 million from JPJR Ten E. South
Tower, LP, an affiliate of Trivest
Realty Group, LLC of Washington
Crossing, Pa.
The acquisition will solidify the
university’s presence as an anchor to
the downtown business district. In
line with its master and strategic
plans, the university will eventually
reduce its presence in the neighbor
hoods south of the campus and
support downtown economic devel
opment while creating increas-

ingly advantageous living/leaming
environments at the university.
“This is an extraordinary move for
Wilkes," said Dr. Tim Gilmour,
Wilkes president. “Wilkes will serve
its students better, enhance
residential living options and
further the reputation that WilkesBarre is a college town.”
About half of the University
Towers’ 205 occupants are students,
according to Scott Byers, vice
president for finance and support
operations. “There will be absolutely
no changes in the mix of tenants in
the near future,” he said.
Wilkes has had students
residing at University Towers
for the past three years in
what Dr. Paul Adams,
vice president for
students affairs, has described as “a
remarkably successful living
arrangement that has blended gener
ations in the same living space.
“This was a particularly
attractive option for the university
since University Towers is the
preferred living space for our oncampus students,” Adams said.
University Towers currently has
the capacity to house 405 students,
doubling the number of occupants
and further increasing the number
of residents living in the WilkesBarre business district. The
university does not anticipate
reaching maximum occupancy for
several years.
Wilkes will be able to offer
student programming to a much
larger audience, including support
for mentoring and studying activ
ities that are intended to increase
student success. The college will no
longer need to rent residential space
from private landlords and will sell
several university-owned properties,

Colleges Connect
Students Online
BY JANET KORNBLUM, USATODAY
Andrew Seaman has a few jitters about
going to college for the first time later
this month. But upperclassmen already
have made him feel better—and he's
never even met them face to face.
Seaman, who will attend Wilkes
University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has
inquired about student politics and
dorm living on HelioWilkes, a private
network the school created this year
for incoming freshmen.
"The other kids were able to put my
mind at ease that the dorm rooms are
livable," says Seaman, 18, of Forest
Hill, Pa.They've also doled out advice
on how to get involved in student
government.
Without the site, "I would've been
more nervous," he says.
To better communicate with a gener
ation that socializes online on websites
such as MySpace and Facebook, many
colleges are launching into the social
networking frenzy.
More than a dozen so far have
created private sites with features
from profiles to bulletin boards and
information areas.
"In a year or two virtually every
college will have something like
this," says Steve Jones, communica
tions professor at the University of
Illinois, Chicago.
The reason is "obvious," he says.
"This has become such a familiar
mode of communication for
teenagers; it's basically meeting them
on their own turf. It makes it more
comfortable to get information they
might not otherwise get."
Administrators say they use the
sites both to market their schools to
potential students and to put new
freshmen at ease.
Students find out about the sites in
a variety of ways — from e-mail and
postal mail invitations to orienta
tions. Most schools feature
prominent links promoting the sites
on their main university websites.
"We realized that in order to
communicate truly effectively to
students we needed a medium that
they are already accustomed to," says
Mark Sikes, assistant dean of students
at the College of William & Mary in
Williamsburg, Va., which created a site
for freshman this year.
Along with message boards that
allow students to connect, the site
acts as a clearinghouse for all sorts of
information on everything from
classes to regional culture and events.
College networking sites vary.
Some are little more than message
boards, others have areas where
students can write full profiles and
communicate with each other like
they do on MySpace and Facebook.
And judging by the traffic at some
sites, students are using them. At
William & Mary, for instance, 1,500 of
the 1,600 newly admitted students
have logged on in the past month,
Sikes says.
Other schools with new networking
sites this year include Harrisburg (Pa.)
University of Science andTechnology;
Marietta (Ohio) College; Wellesley
(Mass.) College; Purchase (N.Y.)
College and Seton Hall University in
South Orange, N.J.
"Universities need to be where
people are," says Cheryl Brown,
director of undergraduate admissions
for Binghamton (N.Y.) University,
which also has a new site.
Seaman and his friend, Stephanie
Gerchman, also an incoming Wilkes
freshman, say HelloWilkes makes
connections and answers questions.
Gerchman, for instance, got advice
from upperclassmen to choose
psychology as her minor.
Some kids like the idea of
"advance networking" so much
that they are even taking a do-ityourself approach.
Gerchman says she prefers
MySpace and Facebook because they
allow her to directly contact friends.
HelloWilkes has an area to post
personal profiles and to weigh in on
predesignated topics, such as dorm
living and studying, but there's no
built-in spot for e-mail addresses or
instant-messaging names.
So she created her own space on
MySpace, based on the HelloWilkes
site, open to incoming Wilkes
students. She also uses Facebook,
and already has a movie night
planned for the beginning of the
school year with another Wilkes
student she met there.
Some colleges use college-oriented
Facebook rather than building their
own sites.
"Why re-invent the wheel?" says
Christopher Oertel, director of
residential life for the College of Saint
Rose in Albany, N.Y. He created a
Facebook page for his department to
reach out to incoming freshmen.
"We're taking advantage of what's
provided for us."
Some worry that creating their own
online networks could create legal
problems. "If we exercise prior review
or censorship, we're going to invite a
whole new series of litigations," says
Michael Bugeja, director of the
Greenlee School of Journalism and
Communication at Iowa State
University in Ames.
But by and large, students' contribu
tions are valuable, administrators say.
"If you want the authenticity and
true voice of the students, you have to
be willing to take the bad with the
good," says Binghamton's Brown. "On
occasion, something sneaks in where
we go, 'gulp.' And so far we have
been pretty open about letting our
students' comments stand as is.
"For students, these really are
social connections," she says. "If we
want to connect with our students and
have them connect with each other,
we need to be taking advantage of
this medium."

Wachowski spent four seasons as
the mascot al Wilkes, serving in that
capacity' from 1987 through 1989,
and again from 1992 through 1994.
A true ambassador of athletics at
Wilkes, Wachowski always found a
way to make a grand entrance. Many
times he would arrive to an athletic
event riding his eight-foot unicycle.
Other times, he might be seen riding
his go-cart with a dummy dressed in
opponent's colors dragging behind.
He arrived at Homecoming one year
riding a horse, while yet another
time he landed on Ralston Field
in a helicopter.
Wachowski would even show
up at opposing sites, unicycle and

�covERstory
covERstory
Maloney explained that the term
"academic superstore" is used to
describe a store that is a mixture of a
traditional Barnes & Noble store
and a college bookstore. "An
academic superstore is typically
located on the edge of campus." he
said. "It brings the university and
community together in a different
way. improving relationships
between the two. It's a wonderful
vehicle to create that bridge between
'town' and ‘gown.’"
!
"This is the
largest single
retail project
in Wilkes-Barre
in 30 years.
It's a huge step
for downtown
Wilkes-Barre."
Barnes & Noble currently operates
more than 570 college bookstores.
Of those, nearly 50 are academic
superstores like the one in WilkesBarre. The Bames & Noble
bookstore in Wilkes-Barre joins an
impressive list of colleges and
universities with academic super
stores on the edge of campus or
close to town, including Southern
Methodist University, University of
Pennsylvania, The Ohio State
University. Yale University, Georgia
Tech, DePaul University and
Dartmouth College.
“The academic superstore that
Barnes & Noble brings to WilkesBarre is centered around the needs of
the campus with a mix of retail to it.”
14
Byers said. "The former bookstore
campus was 3,000 square feet. The
Bames & Noble bookstore will be six
times larger at about 20,000 square
feet. The company brings an
expertise that is second to none. It is
a well-recognized brand known for
its quality.”
Community Reactions
The downtown bookstore is a key
piece in the overall strategy to
revitalize downtown, and the
community has been embracing it.
“The reaction has been
unbelievably positive,” Lohman
said. “This is the largest single
retail project in Wilkes-Barre in 30
years. Barnes & Noble brings a
nationally recognized retail store to
town, adding to part of the fabric of
downtown. It's a huge step for
downtown Wilkes-Barre.”
“For a long time, people asked
why downtown Wilkes-Barre is not
more of a college town,” Newman
said. “There are 6,500 college
students here, but traditionally,
there was a divide between ‘town’
and ’gown.’ That divide is rapidly
disappearing."
Gilmour said feedback from
students, faculty and staff when the
bookstore was officially announced
in August 2006 was very positive.
"Overall, there is genuine enthu
siasm to having Barnes & Noble
bookstore,” he said. “Students will
have to walk a little farther to get
their books, but they’ll be walking
there a lot as other businesses
open. Once they walk the two
blocks and come to the bookstore,
they’ll enjoy it.”
Jenna Strzelecki, a senior business
administration student and
president of student government at
Wilkes, said the new Barnes &
Noble bookstore will help current
and future Wilkes students and
make a good addition to the city. "It
gives students the opportunity to get
down to the center of Wilkes-Barre
and see what’s beyond the Wilkes
campus, giving them a different
perspective of the city,” she said.
“Since it’s a joint bookstore, it gives
Wilkes students a chance to get to
know King’s people more and vice
versa. There is a little bit of a rivalry
place where the community could
go and congregate. It does much
more than provide required educa
tional materials.”
In addition to offering books,
magazines and school merchandise,
the Barnes & Noble location
provides another positive place to
hang out in Wilkes-Barre.
“Approximately 14,000 people live
and work downtown,” Byers said.
“People can go there at lunchtime,
shop and have a cup of coffee. It’s
another level of service that couldn't
have happened without this collabo
ration. The bookstore helps to
further revitalize Wilkes-Barre by
giving more things to do during the
week and weekend for students and
members of the community."
Competitors Collaborate
When discussing this new
bookstore, the word heard most
often from Wilkes and King’s admin
istrators, Chamber officials and
between the two schools because
we’re located so close, but the
bookstore is a good idea.”
The bookstore helps faculty and
members of the community as well
as students, Maloney said. “A
tremendous amount of books are
available to them,” he said. “It gives
them a place to come together.
Some faculty members may

at the bookstore instead of in their
offices. The bookstore also creates a

oration. Despite being in-city rivals
who compete for students and wins
on the sports field, Wilkes and
King’s were able to come together.
“Collaboration was crucial,”
Gilmour said. “We had a real desire
to create this bookstore and felt it
was a real value to our students. We
[Wilkesl couldn’t do it alone, but we
[Wilkes and King's] could do it
together. Both of us can be so much
stronger if we collaborate.”
Setting aside the rivalry was not
difficult. Byers said. "The bookstore
is part of the first wave of opportu
nities to collaborate and benefit
both universities,” he said.
“Students at Wilkes and King’s
interact a lot now, but this helps
solidify those interactions.”

much more than a bookstore; it is
part of an effort to revitalize
downtown Wilkes-Barre. “There is
a definite feeling that this will be a
major step forward in the city’s
revitalization,” Gilmour said.
“With Barnes & Noble moving in,
it signals to other retailers that
Wilkes-Barre is a vibrant town.”
Strzelecki said the bookstore
is good for the city and its future.
“Economically for the city, it was
needed,” she said. "The new
bookstore will draw a lot more
people in from surrounding
areas to Wilkes-Barre. By
bringing people in, it gives
| Wilkes-Barre a jumpstart for
revitalization and could help
bring in other businesses."
Byers cites three reasons
this new bookstore is
important to Wilkes and the city.
“First, it’s Barnes & Noble—we
attracted a world-class retailer,” he
said. “Second, we couldn't have
done this on our own. Third, the
bookstore serves to further revitalize
the city, which is critical to the long
term success of the city and the
university. We can’t act as an island
and not be active with our city."
Maloney said he is happy to be a
part of the redevelopment of the
city. “1 think the bookstore is a
wonderful thing for Wilkes-Barre,”
he said. “These two institutions of
higher education located half a mile
apart were able to come together
and make this happen. The store
will celebrate the rebirth of WilkesBarre and the two schools. I hope
it’s a place that the community
takes pride in.
“I’m very happy to be a part of
this. I’m verj’ proud that we [Barnes
& Noble] were selected. And I’m
ver)' optimistic about the bookstore
and the future of Wilkes-Barre."
Wilkes alumni who have not
returned to Wilkes-Barre in a few
years may be surprised at how the
city has changed. “The difference
is amazing, and alums will be
pleasantly surprised even if their
last visit was three or four years
ago,” Gilmour said. “You have a
Barnes & Noble, a 14-screen
movie theater and night club that
have changed the character of
South Main Street significantly.
South Main is much more lively
and attractive."
Lohman said alums will see a new
Wilkes-Barre that they haven't seen
before. "They’ll sec a cleaner, brighter
and vibrant Wilkes-Barre that they
haven't seen in decades." H1

Karambelases Donate
Piece of Ancient Greece
Special couple's vision for campus is becoming a reality
BY JULIE UEHARA
HE WILKES UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
I

has become more beautiful
thanks to Clayton '49 and
I
Theresa Karambelas.
As the focal point of Wilkes’ new
Greenway project, which also
includes landscaping, a formal
walkway and a volleyball court,
Clayton and Theresa have donated a
beautiful pergola. Located next to
the Alumni House and behind
Breiseth Hall, construction of the
pergola will begin later this year
with trelliswork and Greek-style
columns that will be filled with
colorful flowers and climbing vines
in the spring.
f
“The pergola is such a nice anchor
for the Greenway," Clayton said. “As
a classic Greek structure, it is a
fitting gift from my wife, Theresa,
and I since my family is from Greece
and her family is from Italy, where
pergolas began."
A rare architectural structure for
college campuses, the Karambelas
pergola is even more unique because
it features a stage for outdoor
theatrical performances, concerts or
gatherings. The pergola is approxi
mately 56 feet long and 15 feet wide
and can be used for an unlimited
number of activities—from
weddings to relaxing in the shade.
's'
“As we worked with the architect
to develop the construction plans
we wanted to lake the idea of a
pergola and modernize it so
students would take full advantage
of it,” Theresa said. “We wanted it
to be a quiet place to contemplate
and escape but also be in the heart
of the campus. Since we didn’t
want it to just occupy space, I
think incorporating the stage was
the best idea. That way, the uses for
it are unlimited."
Marty Williams, vice president of
advancement, agrees. “The concept
of the Greenway was to improve the
space around the Alumni House and
create an environmentally friendly,
ceremonial place,” Williams said.
“The pergola is a great addition to
the university and is a strong
reminder of the power of
architecture and ideas.

History of Giving
This is not the first time Clayton and
Theresa have given back to Wilkes in
a significant way. They made a major
gift to the Henry Student Center in

1999 and a state-of-art electronic

students on campus and even
drivers on River Street apprised of
the latest happenings around
campus and the community.
“I thought the sign was a good
idea because if I wanted to know
what’s happening around Wilkes,
other people probably do, too,”
Clayton said. “Theresa and I live
only a mile or so away from
campus, and since many events arc
for the community as well as the
students, we wanted to stay
informed. And, since it’s run by a
computer, it can be conveniently
updated whenever necessary."
An active member of the alumni
association and the John Wilkes
Society, this proud alumnus donates
money to Wilkes each year. “As a
Wilkes graduate and part of the local
community, 1 am happy to give back,”
he said. “After all, the university can't
exist without alumni donations."
“All Wilkes students and faculty
are deeply indebted to Clayton and
Theresa for their generosity and

relationships with alumni, and
Clayton and Theresa have been
leaders and role models for alumni
for a long time. I’m grateful to
know them.”
How it AH Started
Since his undergraduate years,
Clayton has been extremely active at
Wilkes. Graduating in 1949 with a
bachelor's degree in commerce and
finance, Clayton was president of
Student Council and of the
Thespians. He also was an athlete.
He was on the university's first
wrestling team, first tennis team and
was the coach and co-captain of the
first swimming team.
“And he’s still a social butterfly,”
Theresa added.
Now married 39 years and retired,
Clayton and Theresa met while
working next door to each other.
Although Theresa didn’t attend

caring spirit,” Williams said. “Part
of my role at Wilkes is to foster

Wilkes, through her husband she
eventually formed an affinity for the
university, its wrestling team and
ultimately all things Wilkes.
Community Involvement
In addition to being involved at
Wilkes University, Clayton and
Theresa also are active within their
community and the Greek Orthodox
Church in Wilkes-Barre.
Clayton has always lived within one
mile from the university. For several
years after college, he ran a restaurant
and candy shop that his father and
uncle started in 1923 called The
Boston Restaurant and Candy Shop.
After he sold the business in 1973, he
started C.K. Coffee Service and
continued to grow that company for
more than 30 years. With these
businesses and his involvement with
charities, Clayton is a prominent
member of the community.
“We’re really excited for the new
things happening at Wilkes and in
Wilkes-Barre," Theresa said. "We
hope our excitement is contagious
and that others will take pride in.
become a part of and come back to
Wilkes to see what's been
happening. We’d like to think we're
lighting a fire under the alumni in
some small way and adding a new
dimension to the life of the students
on campus.” Ill

�ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Heather Sincavage, Director
When considering what exhibition would open the new Sordoni Art Gallery, many considerations were
made. How will we honor the legacy the gallery has had to Wilkes University, build on our standard
for excellence, and create excitement for what is come? Many of us on campus threw around ideas
of artists or themes that might capture that, but we often returned to Pennsylvania's biggest success
story, Andy Warhol.
The Pittsburgh native ushered in the new wave within the art world. He brought about change in a way
that required the world to make new considerations of how art is defined, how culture is evaluated and
blurred the line where the commercial world meets the fine art world. This harbinger of change seemed
the appropriate artist to launch the new space—as the Sordoni Art Gallery ushers in a new era for the
arts in Wilkes Barre.
This exhibition "15 Minutes: From Image to Icon" would not have been possible without generous
contributors. Thank you, Hyrum Benson at the Reed Gallery, University of Maine at Presque Isle;
Phil'Earenfight at Trout Gallery, Dickinson College; Darrell George at University of Northern Iowa;
Greg Gorman; Geralyn Huxley at The Andy Warhol Museum; Henry Leutwyler; Bill Miller at Galison
Publishing; Jamie Smith at Social Fabric Collective; Ryan Ward at The Maslow Collection at Marywood
University; and Willie Williams at Haverford College.
Additionally, the incredible support from the newly re-formed Sordoni Art Gallery Advisory Commission
has been invaluable. I would like to recognize the members here, as I have greatly appreciated their
guidance and support. The members are: Virginia Davis, chairperson; Dr. Stanley Grand; Patricia Lacy;
President Patrick F. Leahy; Ken Marquis; Allison Maslow; Bill Miller, board of trustees vice chairperson;
I
'
Dr. Paul Riggs, dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; Eric Ruggiero, chairperson
of the Integrative Media, Art and Design Department; Provost Anne Skleder; Jamie Smith; Andrew
Sordoni III; and Joel Zitofsky.
As the gallery prepared to open, many people across campus assisted in imagining the success of
the new space and opening exhibition events. Thank you, Jean Adams, Bridget Giunta, Lisa Reynolds,
Mildred Urban, Rebecca Van Jura, and Mike Wood. Your creativity and advice are so appreciated.
Additionally, the tireless efforts of Charlie Cary and the Office of Campus Support Services have been
outstanding in realizing the imagination of many people and cannot go unrecognized.
Although I have already acknowledged Dr. Riggs as part of the Advisory Commission, his assistance
and support of the gallery and me have far exceeded the role of commission member or dean. I am very
appreciative of his ingenuity and guidance. Without him, I would not have received one of the greatest
gifts to this exhibition project, research assistant Karly Stasko. A large part of this exhibition's success
is a result of Karly's enthusiasm and talent.
Finally, I would like to thank my family and partner, Adriano, for their support during this substantial
endeavor. You help me realize that anything is possible.
Here's to a new chapter in Wilkes University history and exciting things to come!

Andy Warhol.
In 1965 curator Sam Green of the ICA at the University of
Pennsylvania held Warhols first retrospective. When over
2 000 people showed up, Green was forced to remove the
artwork from the walls fearing mob damage. When Warhol
and his muse Edie Sedgwick arrived, the crowd chanted,
"Andy and Edie! Andy and Edie!"
It was clear that while his artwork helped to establish a
movement, the artist himself had become an icon.

Dating back to childhood, Warhol was a long admirer of Hollywood starlets. Throughout his entire
life and encouraged by Julia, he collected publicity shots, biographies and teen magazines about
young Hollywood, saving images of Liz Taylor, Natalie Wood, Troy Donahue and Warren Beatty.
While he was too poor to afford new magazines, local second-hand shops offered a dusty treasure
trove. He was a young boy in love with the American dream, and Hollywood stood as the shiny new
epitome of that dream.
With a passion for drawing fueled by his mother, he was selected to attend free classes at the
Carnegie Institute of Technology while he was still in elementary school. Warhol had always
been considered an original. His high school yearbook epithet reads "as genuine as a fingerprint"

and the American Dream. If he felt people were interesting or attractive, Warhol invited them to The Factory

�THE DEATH AND THE POP KING
Mortality was a theme he returned to in his work time and time again. Privately a devout Catholic, he
was working on a painting of the Last Supper at the time of his death. The famous Last Supper image
was overlaid with camouflage print, a pattern he also used with his self-portrait. The camouflage pattern
references the historic tradition of landscape painting, since the pattern was produced by the military to
disguise weapons and soldiers in the outdoors. The main symbolism to the work suggests hiding something
in plain sight. Camouflage was also the subject of another series of 10 limited-edition screen prints in 1986
In 1968, an occasional figure at The Factory, Valerie Solanas, shot Warhol and an art critic outside the famous
studio. While Warhol survived the near-fatal attempt, his physical and mental health never fully recovered He
spent much of his life frail and weak.
Warhol unexpectedly died in 1987 as a result of a seemingly routine operation. He was 58. Warhol had a
lifetime of gall bladder problems and had been extremely ill for at least 15 years. His illness had never deterred
his work ethic. It has been thought that his discipline to his work, compounded by daily amphetamine use and
his fear of hospitals, was his downfall.
Warhol famously said, "If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings
and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it" (Danto. 145). The clue to that statement is that
Warhol IS encapsulated in every piece he created. His dreams, anxieties, sexuality, aspirations, thoughts - it's
all there. If one considers his use of camouflage, one recognizes that it hides the subject in plain sight. As a
shy, gay, poor son of an immigrant family, Warhol always aspired to achieve the American Dream. Many would
consider him a success story, in which the driven artist would most likely agree, but one might question, with
all his success, if he realized that he actually became an icon.

Barbara Allen (1955-Present) was the former wife of Joe Allen, paper magnate and co
financier of Interview magazine. She was a close friend of Warhol and, therefore, a 70s IT girl.
She appeared on the cover of Interview magazine in 1977. Warhol's diary mentions frequent
socializing with Allen, from grabbing a drink and a movie to attending events together. She
was proudly provacative, frequently dishing about her latest carnal conquests and seeking
Warhol's help in finding the next. Her paramours include musician Mick Jagger, filmmaker
Peter Beard, and Greek billionaire Philip Nirachos, among others.

portraits he donated to my company to help my company meet its financial needs."

Description
An account of the resource
Andy Warhol coined the phrase "Everyone should be famous for 15 minutes."
This exhibition examines Warhol's interest with pop culture figures, the images they are synonymous with and the transformative quality of Warhol's process, thus creating pop culture. While some of his most iconic images draw from pop culture itself, the artist can be credited with elevating the average objects, such as the Campbell’s Soup cans, to pop status.

An account of the resource
In this exhibition, Angela Fraleigh reimagines the role of women as they have been depicted in art history, literature, and media. She reaches through the depths of centuries-old and often patriarchal tradition to breathe new agency into her female subjects. The grade scale works feature luxurious depth that makes them sometimes Edenic, sometimes mystical, but always breathtaking.

PROGRESS AND INNOVATION: THE ART OF ANTHONY SORCE
Stanley I Grand
3
�his exhibition and accompanying catalogue
represent the first in-depth survey of An
thony Sorcc’s protean artistic career. At times
an innovator, at times a developer, Sorce has consis
tently experimented with new processes, materials, and
aesthetic possibilities.These investigations have mani
fested themselves in a multiplicity of stylistic expres
sions linked together by his commitment to such
Modernist concerns as formal invention and artistic
progress.
Born in 1937, Sorce was raised in a family that
valued the arts. As a youngster he frequently visited
the galleries of the Art Institute of Chicago, where
he developed his lifelong love of the Old Masters
and admiration for the avant-garde. In 1955, Sorce
won a citywide competition and enrolled at the
American Academy of Art, Chicago, where he fol
lowed a strict academic curriculum concentrating on
drawing from the nude and employing line and value
to express three-dimensional forms. His early figure
drawings in which units are strung together to form
the whole, where the underlying structure, or skel
eton, is gradually obscured, but never obliterated, by
succeeding layers of muscle, and where the entire sum
is governed by a rational, logical, additive approach
remain key factors in his subsequent works [Fig. I .
At the Academy he also received extensive instruc
tion in color theory and the techniques of oil, water
color, tempera, and casein painting. This very tradi
tional training has formed the basis for his lifelong
devotion to craft and to expanding and investigating
the physical aspects of process.
After receiving his diploma from the American
Academy of Art, Sorce was awarded a scholarship to
study with the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic at X'otre
Dame, where he earned his B.F.A. degree in 1961
and his M.F.A. degree a year later. Typical of Sorce's
early work, EmHoino, 1961. shows his preoccupation
with religious themes Tig. 2 , A subject whose pa
thos has inspired countless artists, but few as mov
ingly as Rembrandt. Etc f/eme "Behold die Man"

Sorce never accepted the nihilistic aspect of Existen-

Environments and Happenings 1966
One of Sorces most ambitious paintings to date.
Once Upon a Life, 1965, is a Large, flat, frieze-like work,
in which an ambiguous, enigmatic drama takes place
on a shallow stage [Color Plate 31. To the left, a
streamlined man moves toward a large space, empty
but for a small circular object that hovers midpoint.
In his haste, he distorts the restraining line, whose
spiky forms bespeak tension. To the right, a pale, fe
male character reclines, resting her weight on an el
bow. Beneath, a heavy figure turns inward, his move
ment caught as if in a multiple exposure photograph
or a Futurist painting. The small picture within the
picture, which echoes the larger painting, suggests that
the action is occurring in an interior, domestic space.
To the far right, facing away from the male, are the
legs, buttock, swollen belly, and breasts of a headless
figure. An interlocutor, a silent onlooker, peers down
upon the scene.

Although Sorce continued to explore the themes
of growth, change, emergence, being and nothing
ness, and other Existentialist concerns throughout the
mid-sixties, he increasingly came to believe that: "The
significance of art today is not in the images pro
duced (i.e. Pop, Op, Surrealism, etc.) but rather in
the expansion of media."1’ Fortuitous ar this tune,
the Upjohn Company in Kalamazoo decided to make
rigid polyurethane foam available to a limited num
ber of local artists. One of the early beneficiaries of
this decision, Sorce. who had long been interested in
artistic innovation, began investigating the aesthetic
possibilities of polyurethane foam.
Working in polyurethane involved combining a
binder and a catalyst. .Much like yeast causing dough

Brown had problems with the material itself: "I hon
estly believe that his sculpture has an ugly shine to
it.”1'1 So did Hilton Kramer, who wrote that "Mr.
Sorce’s sculpture is something of a puzzlement. He
shapes polyurethane foam into fat columnar forms
that have all the appearance of giant ceramics. I find it
odd that so much technical finesse should be invested
in making one material resemble another when there is
so little discernible esthetic advantage in the process."11
Sorce. on the other hand, felt that the critics had
misunderstood his Totems by failing to differentiate
the surface qualities of polyurethane cellular struc
tures from those of other, more traditional materials.

In 1972, Sorce created a number of polyure
thane sculptures in the courtyard of the Hudson
River Museum. Here the installation stressed the
interactive nature of the work. Viewers were en
couraged to move the lightweight pieces around,
to construct their own nonstatic environment, to
embrace chance and randomness, and thereby to
break down the barrier between the object and
themselves i a concept explored earlier in < )»<y L pen
a Life). This participatory approach, this desire to
extend boundaries, and this emphasis on open
forms are also found in his assemblages recall
Dobyns’s observation) and later in his poh urethane
poured pieces. Finally, in encouraging the viewer
to assume an active role in the art, this installation
implicitly, if nor explicitly, promoted the concept

Plate 9], Curiously, his work now developed in the op
posite direction from the earlier polygonal paintings; that
is to say, die paintings increasingly become less expressionistic and more reductive as seen in Untitled (AVS/
Glowing Presence), 1989—92 [Color Plate 10].
In many areas the end of the 1980s saw a general
mood of downsizing, a retreat from the exuberances
and excesses of the decade. Responding to the re
trenchment on Wall Street, the art market collapsed,

Sorce's works have undergone a dramatic shift in scale
and technique. Seeking a more intimate engagement
with the viewer, he began working exclusively on pa
per. at first mounting paint film on paper and then
working directly on the paper itself. He also began to
experiment with a proprietary product called Acryla
Weave as his support.
In the Schema Series, he reverted to a more geo
metric, even constructivist aesthetic [Color Plates 11.
12, & 131. In the following year, 1995, he eliminated
color altogether and substituted dramatic light-dark

ANTHONY SORCE’S RECENT WORK
John Yau
�~W" n the early 1990s, Anthony Sorce, who had
1 become dissatisfied with the large scale of
J- his geometric works [Color Plates 7—10], shifted
his focus to a more intimate scale. One suspects that the
change was precipitated not only by Sorce’s dissatisfac
tion with the scale of his own works, which since the
mid 1960s had often been both physically large and
materially insistent, but by his intention to separate
his work from the material excesses of much of the art
made in the 1980s. As in his earlier work, Sorce's change
in scale necessitated the use of different materials and
procedures. It wasn't simply that he was going to make
his work smaller but that he was determined to rein
vent his whole approach to making art. During this
period of reconsideration, while working largely on
paper, Sorce discovered a durable paper. Acryla Weave,
which enabled him to redefine his process, particu
larly as it involved the way he applied the paint.
Acryla Weave is a hybrid material that combines
characteristics associated with the more traditional
materials of paper and canvas; it is relatively smooth
and yet extremely durable. Its surface can both sup
port acrylic paint and be continually reworked and
even scratched and incised. As an artist interested
in both painting and sculpture since he was a stu
dent at Notre Dame, Sorce found thar Acrvl.i Weave
enabled him to use various methods to apply and
subtract paint, thus developing a physically engag
ing process. One of the recurring aspects of Sorce s
career is his commitment to developing a physi
cally engaged way of making art which is open to
chance. As when he poured polyurethane in the
[Color Plate 5 and painted, peeled, and assembled

cesses have something to do with Abstract Expres
sionism. particularly as it extends out of Pollock's pour
ing of paint, as well as utilizing asp. cts associated with
conceptual an.
21
�J
One of Sorce’s reasons for changing his methods
around this time may have been the feeling that he
was no longer discovering something by using a meth
odology that had preoccupied him for nearly two
decades and that he had exhausted its possibilities.
Drawing, he may have believed, would inevitably lead
into an area that would enable him to make discover
ies, as well as consider what avenues he might wish to
explore. In this regard, he was clearing the decks and
starting over.
The works of the past five years are intimate in
scale and, like his earlier works, hybrid in form. Al
though they are done on Acryla Weave, which is tech
nically a kind of paper, they should be considered as
paintings rather than as drawings. Whereas in the
geometric paintings Sorce layered different films of
paint together, in the recent works he layers, abuts,
scratches, and scrapes away areas of color, which is a
combination of acrylic gel and dry pigment.The pro
cess is one of addition, juxtaposition, and subtrac-
tion, and thus significantly different from the pro
cesses he had previously developed, all of which were
largely additive.
The other significant difference between the work
of the past half-decade and what preceded it is Sorce s
evident interest in light and its relationship to color.
In both the Caravaggio Suite grisaille paintings
[Color Plates 14-17] and those using color [Color
Plates 18—20] the viewer senses that a dense rich
light is suffusing throughout the composition. Here,
the analogy the viewer is tempted to make is to light
as an immanent presence, as a moment of spiritual
realization. And yet, while the temptation is inevi
table, such readings must also take into account the
process of layering Sorce uses, as well as the linear
scratches, divisions, and forms that have been made
in the surface.
The paintings of the last five years can largely
be said to belong to one of three groups. In the
grisaille paintings, Sorce uses a palette knife and
other flat edges to apply the paint medium to rhe

come even more atmospheric. The result is a destabi
lized relationship between figure and ground, solidity
and atmosphere. Images appear to hover within and
beneath other images. One is reminded of blurred
photographs, as well as dramatic landscapes.
In Siarno in Due I or Offspring, the third group,
Sorce both applies thicker layers of color and uses
color to divide the composition into distinct geo
metric areas [Color Plates 21 & 22]. He then
scratches lines into the surface, causing rhe color
beneath to show through. Typically, the lines arc
rough and awkward because of the resistance of
the paint to the instrument’s edge. Of the three
groups, it is this group in which the surface is most
physically insistent.
It seems evident that Sorce is after the most diffi
cult unit)' to achieve, the synthesis of the material
(layers of paint) and the spiritual (the presence of
everlasting light). The degree to which we feel he is
successful depends on our orientation toward spiritual
matters and questions such thinking inevitably raises.
Is light everlasting or is it another material in a world
of things? Sorce’s work seems not to settle into either
perceptual category, but rather to address both at the
same time. To Sorce’s credit, he doesn’t try to make us
sec the work in a narrow, didactic way. Consequently, we
sense the artist’s own faith in us as viewers.
Since Sorce began working with polyurethane in
the late 1960s, he has followed an unpredictable and
fruitful course. His commitment to process, how
ever, is not something we should take for granted,
because, in fact, few artists ever live up to the stan
dards of such a demanding ideal. His incorporation
of new techniques and materials has always been di
rected toward what might be discovered rather than
what could be made of them.
Sorce’s recent processes have led him to make paint
ings that seem to be photographs, though not in the
usual sense in which we use that word. His "photo
graphs'’ not only evoke the various worlds that exist
beyond what we can see under natural conditions but
also underscore the various devices we use to enhance
both looking and our memory of looking. His paint
ings convey the limitedness of our sight by evoking
what might exist beyond, within, and beneath what
we look at ever)- day. Finally, Sorce is an artist whose
concern with materials has never led him to celebrate
materiality. In this regard, he has remained faithful
to the possibility that art can have a spiritual pres
ence in the viewer's life, can evoke something we might
not otherwise see. And in doing so, Sorce’s art is able
to bring us to a moment of wonderment that all too
often we have ignored or rejected.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The ldea for this exhibition began in 1985 when we were compiling research for the exhibi
tionVale of Wyoming: Nineteenth Century Images from Campbell's Ledge to Nanticoke. At that time
we chscovered important materials relating to John Wilkes and Isaac Barre which had been col
lected by Gilbert S. McClintock and given to Wilkes College at the time of his death in 1959.
Ajnong these were books, letters, and contemporary engravings that reveal the political exploits
of the two men for whom our city is named. The majority of items included here are from that
extraordinary collection.
I am indebted to Annie Bohlin and F. Charles Petrillo for initiating the exhibition and for
organizing all phases of it. Annie became aware of the significance of the McClintock Collection
while working on an inventory of its books in association with Rita Wolberg, whose assistance
with this exhibition and the McClintock Collection is also very much appreciated. Charlie be
came interested in the historical value of the engravings and subsequently enlisted the help of
Dr. Harold E. Cox, Professor of History at Wilkes College, in interpreting their often complicated
18th century references. Professor Cox's essays provide contemporary historical context and ex
plain the complex images that a modern audience might otherwise find obscure and puzzling.
Charlie's essay describes men and events of the Wyoming Valley in that era, and tells how
Wilkes-Barre was named.
Robert Paustian, Director of the Farley Library, and Lorna Darte, Librarian in charge of Spe
cial Collections, were helpful in permitting access to the McClintock Collection. Roberta Wad
dell, Curator of Prints at The New York Public Library; Georgia B. Barnhill, Curator of Graphic
Arts at the American Antiquarian Society; and Arlene Shy, Head Reader - Research at the Wil
liam L. Clements Library, The University of Michigan, were generous with their time and re
sources in helping us to locate important prints not in the McClintock Collection and to secure
loans from their respective institutions. The following people were also gracious in helping our
research: Joan Hall Sussler, Curator of Prints, The Lewis Walpole Library, Yale University; Ca
tharina Slautterback, Administrative Assistant, Yale Center for British Art; Susan Naulty, Assist
ant Curator, and Thomas Lange, Associate Curator, Rare Book Department, The Huntington Li
brary - Art Collections - Botanical Gardens; Inge Dupont and the staff of the Reading Room of
The Pierpont Morgan Library, New York; James Tyler, Department of Rare Books of the Olin
Library at Cornell University; and Joan Diana, Librarian of the Wilkes-Barre campus of Pennsyl
vania State University. In addition, we thank the many other historians and librarians who gave
us suggestions on sources and assistance in locating materials during our research.
We are grateful for the grants given in support of this exhibition by the six companies who
provided funds to match an award from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. They are Lewith
& Freeman Real Estate Inc., Marquis Art and Frame, Merchants Bank North, Morrison's Custom
Management, Offset Paperback Mfrs., Inc., and Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company. With
out their important contributions this catalog would not have been possible.

^eYno^s was followed by such figures as Thomas GainsboA I ,
! an George Romney (1734-1802). Gainsborough gained renown as a protrait
and landscape painter. He treated nature in an imaginative rather than topographical fashion,
an com me portraiture with landscape backgrounds. Romney became a popular English por
trait painter, particularly in the late nineteenth century. The new enthusiasm for native art
spread beyond portraits into fields such as historical painting. Reynolds chose figures from clas
sical mythology and concentrated on classical attire. Since this was also a period in which England was rising to a position of dominance in the world, only temporarily disrupted in the 1770s
by the American Revolution, historical painting became more contemporary. Reynolds' exam
ples in the grand style were not expanded upon. Rather there was a vogue for paintings of
current events.
The earliest exponent was Edward Penny, who first attracted attention with his painting
"The Death of Wolfe." During the French and Indian War (1754-1763), British General James
Wolfe had led a daring ascent of the Heights of Abraham from the banks of the St. Lawrence
River in September 1759 to capture the city of Quebec, the key to control of Canada. Wolfe and
his French adversary Montcalm had been mortally wounded almost simultaneously during the
battle. Wolfe came to be the symbol of the new English imperial position, and probably no single
historical event has generated more artistic activity with more wildly varying results. The most
famous version of "The Death of General Wolfe" was by Benjamin West (1738-1820), who was
bom in Springfield, Pennsylvania, although he spent his career in England. West was the favor
ite painter of King George III, who purchased historical works from him for forty years, spend
ing more than 34,000 pounds in the process. The West painting has specific significance to this
exhibit. Since the average Englishman could not afford the prices charged for such works, a
lively market developed in engravings copied from these pictures. An engraving of West's pic
ture netted 6,000 pounds for the engraver and 15,000 pounds for the seller by 1760, an incredible
sum in a time when the working head of a family might make only ten shillings (half a pound) a
week. An increasing market for engravings and prints developed, and art came within the means
of the middle-class, if not the workers. The picture is also of interest for the historical personages
included. Directly above Wolfe in the center of the picture, with his chin virtually resting on
Wolfe's head, is Isaac BarrA
Another major contributor to the art of Georgian England was William Hogarth (1697-1764),
whose satirical works are a history of contemporary English manners. It was Hogarth who
moved to prints and discovered the profit potentials in the wide circulation of cheap prints
among all classes. In a politically charged atmosphere, the print soon came to be used for politi
cal purposes, and Hogarth became the most famous political cartoonist of his age. John Wilkes,
the son of Israel Wilkes, a malt distiller, had the benefit of a liberal education and a fraternity of
influential and profligate friends who established him as a member of parhament from Aylesbury in 1857. He was an opponent of both the domestic and foreign policy of John Stuart, 3d Earl
of Bute (1713-1792), the prime minister to King George III, and England's first Scottish prime
minister. Wilkes blamed Bute for blocking Wilkes' hopes for certain political appointments, in
cluding the governorship of Quebec. Early in his political career, Wilkes had published anony
mous political pamphlets which attracted the attention of both the public and the King.

be unfriendly and asked him not to publish it. Hogarth replied that he cartoon contained Pitt
and Temple, but not Wilkes and Churchill. Wilkes then stated that attacks on his; friends would
result in counter-attacks and followed up his threat with publication of theNorthBn ton No. 17 in
September 1762 in which he attacked Hogarth personally. Hogarth was described as having a
rancorous and malevolent mind and as being a declining painter. Wilkes made much of Hogarth's new title of "serjeant-painter" to the king, stating that it meant house-painter. Churchill is believed to have made additions and revisions to the text. For some unknown reason
Wilkes didn’t think that Hogarth would be offended, but he was mistaken. On 23 April 1763,
Wilkes published his famous North Briton No. 45, which attacked the administration and re
sulted in Wilkes' arrest for libel. On 6 May, Wilkes appeared before a packed court and was
discharged on the grounds of parliamentary privilege, as he was an elected member from Ayles
bury. He was hailed by the crowd with the cry, "Wilkes and Liberty." Hogarth was at the trial and
made sketches from which, ten days later, came an unflattering print of Wilkes bearing a liberty
cap on a pole. It is worthy of note that the table contains not only a document labeled North Briton
No. 45, but also one labeled North Briton No. 17. Hogarth had exacted his revenge. He would get
even with Churchill in August when he published a caricature of the former clergyman as a bear
in clerical garb.
Wilkes was a caricaturist's dream. Joshua Reynolds described him as having a low, short
forehead, "shorter and lower" nose, "long and projecting" upper lip, crooked jaw, and "eyes
sunken and horribly squinting." Hogarth obviously made the most of what he had to work with.
Another source indicates that Wilkes also had very bad teeth in his later years. Hogarth's draw
ing shows that the deterioration was already setting in. The Hogarth picture spawned a host of
copies. These include a French version which prominently shows (and misspells) North Briton
No. 17, while hiding No. 45 in the frame of the portrait. Another version, obviously copied from
Hogarth, but reversed, shows Wilkes holding a copy of the Magna Carta. A relatively late picture
. Wilkes, presumably made when he was Mayor of London in 1775, and containing no political
significance, is a softened version of Hogarth, also with the pose reversed. The eyes are not as
pronouncedly crossed as m Hogarth and the earlier copies. While the teeth are as bad as ever, the
chin has been softened and if an oil painting of Wilkes made in 1779 by John Zoffany is accurate,
is much closer to his actual appearance.

Language appeared in 1762. Temora was published the following year, probably only weeks be
fore the appearance of this cartoon. MacPherson was accused by Samuel Johnson of having fab
ricated the poems from fragments, and MacPherson never produced the originals.
The dispute over North Briton No. 45 also generated other pro-Wilkes materials. A formal,
heroic portrait credited to J. Miller, with appropriate accompanying verse from Alexander Pope,
appeared on 30 June 1763, six weeks after the Hogarth caricature. Straightforward and unsubtle,

The piece was credited to a publisher named Miller who probably also did the engraving. A
much more flattering portrait than Hogarth's, it came to be copied by pro-Wilkes forces with the
same enthusiasm with which Wilkes' opponents copied Hogarth's work. A German version
shifted the body slightly to the front but faithfully copied the head.

This was taken from Alexander Pope's Essay on Man, and was drawn from Pope's discussion
of fame. Pope divided famous men into two classes: wits (meaning wise men in general) and
heroes, giving little credit to either. The wise men are compared to feathers, which are flimsy
and showy; the heroes, whom he considers the scourges of mankind, to rods. His opinion of
honest men is then given, an opinion obviously extended by the artist to cover Wilkes The
choice of a selection from An Essay on Man was ironic considering that only five months later, in
November 1763, Wilkes would come under attack for publishing an obscene parody of the work
entitled An Essay on Woman and, as a result, would be expelled from parliament on 19 January
1764. By this time, Wilkes had fled to Paris and a self-imposed four-year European exile. The

Wilkes and Samuel Martin on 16 November 1763, when he reportedly carried the mjury.
Wilkes home, possibly saving his life. The duel occurred a ter Martin called Wilkes a cowarc
among other slanders, after the publication of North BrttonNo45 During the difficult economic
times which Wilkes experienced in the mid-1760s, Cotes handled many of Wilkes financial af
fairs, at least until Cotes himself went bankrupt.
A remarkable reversed copy of the painting, signed by John Philipp, re-reversed all of the
print in the picture so that it could still be read. An interesting feature is the cameo in the lower
right Almost obscured in the bilingual version, it is clearly shown in this view as is the name
"Hampden." This reference to John Hampden, one of the leaders of the opposition to King Char
les I, suggests a shift from the views of the earlier version of this print. Royalty, apparently, was
no longer sacrosanct.
Several obvious copies of the head of the Pine painting survive. One is credited to the same
"J. Miller" as the print mentioned above. Another copy, credited to E. Bocquet, also credited
Pine as the painter of the original, an infrequent practice for engravers of such prints.
Wilkes' next period of prominence began with his election as a member of parliament for
Middlesex on 28 March 1768, after his return from the European continent. A classical portrait
with the inevitable cherub holding a liberty cap and references to John Locke and Algernon Sid
ney, obviously copied from the Pine portrait, commemorated his election. A broadside illus
trated with a crude woodcut described the election at Brentford town from a Wilkesite view
point. Another contained Wilkes' address to the Court of Common Pleas on the day after the
election.
Wilkes had been convicted of libel for the publication of No. 45 in February 1764. He had not
appeared to receive judgment but instead had taken refuge in Paris, and was outlawed by parlia
ment on 1 November 1764. Much of his time until February 1768 was spent in France and Italy.
He surrendered to the outlawry on 29 March 1768, one day after his Middlesex election. The
portrait at the top appears based on Miller's 1763 engraving. The usual references were made to
Sidney, Lock, Hampden, and the Magna Carta. An engraving showing the court appearance was
published in Gentleman's Magazine in May 1768. It was based on the Pine portrait or some copy
thereof, but any resemblance to Wilkes was coincidental.
Wilkes was committed by Lord Mansfield to the King’s Bench Prison on 27 April. He issued
an address to his sympathizers on 5 May, which brought gatherings of his followers to St.
George s Field, near the jail. This mob was fired upon by military forces on 10 May, and the event
became known as the St. George's Field Massacre. The official responsible was a magistrate of
Surrey named Samuel Gilliam, who was tried for murder and, after a long debate, acquitted.
Gilliam was apparently a person of limited scholarship, a fact commented upon in the Public
verttser or
ugust 1768, and reprinted in the Oxford Magazine. The magazine followed up
with a cartoon printed about October 1768 entitled "Midas, or the Surrey Justice." Gilliam, with
ass s ears, is seated writing a letter which says, "Send me the Ax Re Latin to a Gustis of Pease,"

Mansfield appears dressed as the Lord Chief Justice and with the head and claws of a wolf. He is
saying, If they don t do for him, we'll all have at him." Glynn had defended Wilkes in the expul
sion proceedings before Commons while Norton had served as the prosecutor.
Although Wilkes was re-elected in three new elections, his opponent, Colonel Luttrel, was
declared elected instead, and the returns falsified by the House of Commons. Glynn had been
Wilkes counsel during the disputes of 1763 and had gotten him released on the grounds of par
liamentary privilege. Glynn and Horne managed Wilkes' election campaign in Middlesex in
1768. Glynn in turn was elected to theother parliamentary seat for Middlesex in December 1768
in an election marred by rioting and at least one death. John Horne was a radical clergyman from
Brentford who changed his name to Horne Tooke on acquiring by bequest the estate of a Mr.
Tooke. He was the last Anglican clergyman to sit as a member of parliament. A political radical,
he appears to have used Wilkes and traded on Wilkes' popularity to gain his own political ends.
Horne was an extraordinary political organizer who was behind the Society for the Defence of
the Bill of Rights. This was a political action committee formed in February 1769 to get Wilkes
into parhament and to defend him against the government. The Society also paid 3000 pounds in
election expenses and 12,000 pounds in general debts and provided 1000 pounds to get Wilkes
off to a new start. In one election Horne was responsible for distribution of at least 40,000 hand
bills, arranged carriages for transport, and controlled the crowds of supporters.
The Houston painting dates from 1769. Signs based on the painting became popular marks
for houses of refreshment. At least four London taverns were so marked and named "The Three
Johns." Horne and Wilkes parted company in 1770. A Mr. Bingley, who had printed Wilkes' at
tacks on the courts, had been convicted of contempt and given a three-year term. Wilkes refused
to allow money to be used for Bingley's support on the grounds that he needed it himself. Horne,
in protest, left the society and formed a new group known as the Society for Constitutional Infor
mation, taking the wealthier and more radical Wilkes supporters with him. Wilkes now began
fighting a two-front political war against the political conservatives, who were his traditional
enemies, and against the radicals allied with Horne as well. Horne opposed Wilkes when he ran
for sheriff of London, charging him with embezzling foundling hospital funds and of swindling
French jewelers. Other charges included having drunk claret wine while in prison and the unfor
givable sin of having had three French servants.
The dispute between Horne and Wilkes was commemorated in an engraving for the Political
Register, dated 1 July 1771. Horne, in clerical garb, and Wilkes, dressed as an aiderman, are
throwing books at each other. Horne's Speeches at Mile End, thrown by Wilkes, has just missed
Horne's head. Three documents collectively labeled Wilkes's Addresses to the Freeholders of Mid
dlesex have been thrown at Wilkes. Each has one foot on a book labeled Political Connections,
while Wilkes' other foot is on a paper marked Home's Letter. Horne's campaign against Wilkes
was unsuccessful. Whatever his abilities as an organizer, he was no match for Wilkes in verbal
sparring. He challenged Wilkes to a duel after Wilkes disproved many of his earlier charges.
Wilkes declined. Wilkes and his new running mate, a rich merchant named Frederick Bull, were
elected as sheriffs of London on 24 July 1771 by a wide margin. The two spent their year's term in

Following his term as mayor (he was not eligible to succeed himself) Wilkes concentrated on
his parliamentary duties. He remained a member of parliament from Middlesex until 1790 when
he did not seek re-election. As a supporter of the Rockingham whigs and later of William Pitt the
younger, Wilkes remained a reformer but achieved a measure of respectability which he had not
previously enjoyed. Even George III, who had spent many of the earlier years trying to block his
efforts to achieve office, was reconciled with Wilkes. Wilkes' term as Lord Mayor coincided
with the early events of the American Revolution, and in April 1775, Wilkes presented to the
King a remonstrance in favor of the American colonies. Wilkes acquitted himself well on this
occasion, and George III confessed that he had never known so well-bred a Lord Mayor. Wilkes
had been long estranged from his wife, Mary Mead, and he shared his later years with their
daughter Polly, who never married. Polly performed the duties of "lady mayoress" during
Wilkes' term as Lord Mayor, her continental education helping to make her the perfect hostess.
The last oil portrait of Wilkes, painted by John Zoffany in 1799, shows Wilkes seated looking up
at Polly. This was the painting from which most of the later prints of Wilkes were copied. An
engraving by Freeman, printed in 1804, left the pose unchanged but made Wilkes look consider
ably younger than in the painting. Another undated picture shows Wilkes looking forward and is
apparently a reversal based on the Zoffany portrait. Another view, published on 17 June 1782 by
C. Bretherton, shows an aging, toothless Wilkes dressed in what appears to be the cloak of a
co onel of militia. He had been similarly attired in the Zoffany portrait and in a caricature printed
on the occasion of his death in 1797.

fP/10urHten attributed t0 the simpleton, madman, or oddity. Contem
poraries actually referred to Wilkes as a political jester. He became a regular character at
masques, complete with motley and erratic behaviour to match. This so-called political Bed
lamite [Wilkes] had two rivals. One appeared as a squinting Aiderman, [with Wilkes as himself
as the second personage], and a third dressed as 'The Times', with half of his dress in Wilkite
guise, t e o her half in the Scottish manner." The last was supposed to have been the model for
the cartoon. The totals on the two arms indicate the results of the recent election in which the
loser had been declared the winner over Wilkes. The items on the figure's right side were a listmg of bribes and irregular judicial actions taken by the group in power. Those on the left re
flected the numerous petitions which had been submitted on behalf of Wilkes. The numeral 45
appears on the left side of the vest and as the winning number on the lottery ticket.
Isaac Barre was a much less prominent political figure than Wilkes and a correspondingly
smaller group of prints exists. Barrd is shown in West's painting "The Death of Wolfe" holding
Wolfe in his arms as a surgeon attends to the fatally wounded general. T\vo other prints are to be
found in the McClintock Collection. One appeared in the London Magazine for May 1780. The
occasion was the crisis in the North ministry which peaked in early 1780. A popular resentment
against the corruption of the government arose towards the end of 1779 which resembled the
Wilkesite movement of a decade before, but included many men of great respectability and
property. The objections to high taxes, excessive power in the hands of the king, and a venal and
corrupt parliament caused the parliamentary opposition to join the cause. Barry's contribution
was a proposal which called for a commission to examine the public accounts, which was passed
by Commons. This was Barre's major contribution to British politics. Just as Wilkes was identi
fied by the presence of copies of the Magna Carta in his pictures, Barr^ came to be associated
with the Commission of Accounts. While the 1780 picture has no political commentary, the
larger portrait of Barre, published in 1787, shows Barr6 holding a copy of the Commission of
Accounts bill.
The third Band item in the McClintock Collection is an undated letter, addressed to "My
Lord," recommending a relation, Lieutenant Isaac Phipps, for consideration. The letter indicates
that Barre had served under the addressee in North America. This indicates that the letter was to
Lord Shelburne, who had been Band's commander in the Quebec campaign and was wellknown in later years as Barre's political patron. An approximate date can also be determined,
based on the contents of the letter. Lord Bristol is noted as having made promises to Phipps
which were not kept due to his resignation from office. Bristol served as Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land from October 1766 to August 1767, when he resigned. Shelburne was then serving as Secre
tary of State for the Southern Department, a position which he would hold until October 1768.
This would probably date the letter in the fall of 1767.
The collapse of the North ministry in 1782 was the occasion for a flurry of political cartoons
in which Barre appears, usually in the role of supporting actor, and sometimes he can be identi
fied only by the context of the cartoon or the resemblance of a caricature to his portrait. "The
Political Mirror, or an Exhibition of Ministers for May 1782" was probably published in one of
the numerous political periodicals. Members of the North ministry are falling into a pit, clutched
by demons. Lord Bute, attired in Scottish dress, is about to fall from the ac ' o a wi c on w om
he has been riding. Band is the fifth figure from the right in the Picture, holding a document
inscribed "Bill for the Examination of Accounts" and declaring Your Army Expenditures have
been Enormous & Shameful." This refers to a speech made by Barre on 26 April 1782 attacking
the Army budget and affirming his position as a watchdog o the treasury which he had staked
out some three years earlier. This print also appears to include Wilkes standing in the center
background and saying, "Your tax on Women Servants fills our Streets with Whores. While

The new ministry was headed by Lord Rockingham, who died on 1 July 1782. Since
Shelburne had been in charge of colonial affairs, he had been pursuing peace with the American
colonies. Fox, on the other hand, had become secretary of state for foreign affairs and was in
charge of ending the war with France. Since the two had conflicting views of how best to end the
war and Fox had powerful political ambitions, disputes were inevitable. When Rockingham

any prospects of further advancement were cut off shortly thereafter when Barre became com

E , ,
c a™Plons of liberty are individuals whose contributions to the separation from
England are more obscure. Included in this group are the two English political figures for whom
the city of Wilkes-Barre was named, John Wilkes and Isaac Barr^.
There is ample evidence that both Wilkes and Barrd enjoyed the respect of revolutionary
Americans. At least one other city, Wilkesboro, North Carolina, was named for one of 18th-cen
tury England s most controversial political figures. Barre enjoyed even more popularity, his
name being given to a city in Vermont, two towns in Massachusetts, and a village in New York.
This may be explained by Barre's involvement in the Battle of Quebec. Not only were New En
glanders moved to commemorate his somewhat limited activities as a political dissenter in En
gland, but they were also disposed to recognize an individual who had helped free New England
from the French threat.
Pinning down exactly what Wilkes and Barre did which contributed to American indepen
dence is an extremely difficult task. While Barrd was a member of the House of Commons in
England, his political career was relatively uninspired. Even though Wilkes was at the center of
political turmoil surrounding the political struggle in England in the late 1760s and early 1770s,
his career was in decline by the time that the American Revolution began. Nor were Wilkes and
Barre close political allies. Both were products of the English political system and their occa
sional appearance on the same side of an issue was more a case of happenstance or a marriage of
convenience than a demonstration of a strong alliance against privilege or political corruption.
Wilkes was a political symbol. The accidents of history, the ineptitude of his political oppo
nents, and Wilkes' skills as a demagogue brought him to a position of prominence. To understand
Wilkes' role in George Ill's England, one must first examine the state of politics in the country at
the time. George III has never received a particularly good press in the United States, being
viewed with the same lack of enthusiasm as a medieval monk would view the memory of the
Emperor Nero. In his own way, however, George was a remarkable individual. He had been
trained to succeed his grandfather as king after the death of his father in 1751 when George was
but thirteen years of age. He was seventeen when Lord Bute, a Scottish nobleman who was
widely read but who had only limited experience with the rough and tumble of British politics,
became his tutor and his mother's political advisor. Bute gave George a strong sense of morality,
a conviction that British politics was rotten to the core, and the belief that only George could save
the country by becoming chief executive in fact as well as in name. As George would write, "No
good and great Prince born in a free country will ever despair of restoring his country to virtue,
freedom and glory, even though he mounts the Throne in the most corrupted of times.
During his career, George tried to set an example for his subjects. When he replaced his
grandfather on the throne, he issued royal proclamations against vice and immorality and prac
ticed what he preached. He was loyal to his wife, Princess Charlotte of Mecklenberg-Strehtz,
who bore him fifteen children. There were no royal mistresses and no evidence that George ever
produced an illegitimate child. On one occasion, the King refused to sit for a portrait by Thomas

°bj Unfortunately, this was easier said than done. England in 1762 was not a representative deU 1
rather was ruled by a small oligarchy. Scotland was represented by forty-five
members of the House of Commons. Out of a population of about one and one-half million these
forty-five seats were elected by a total of 3963 voters. The common Englishman had little faith in
the government and his faith lessened when Bute imposed, a tax on cider to balance the budget.
The population of London made a hero of Pitt and attacked Bute s carnage in the streets, fright
ening Bute into resigning from the government in April 1763. There was no suitable alternative.
George Grenville was followed in July 1765 by the Marquis of Rockingham, the former wanting
too much personal power, the latter being unable to exercise what he had. In July 1766, George
tried bringing back William Pitt to rouse the country. However, Pitt was not the consummate
politician of a few years previously. He accepted a peerage, weakening his political position,
then became a recluse, leaving the cabinet members to fight for power among themselves. In
November 1768, he retired from the government, leaving the Duke of Grafton, his second-incommand as the unquestioned leader of the government. Unfortunately, Grafton preferred his
mistress and horses to running a government. It was not until 1770, when Lord North became
first lord of the treasury, that some measure of stability was achieved. North remained in office
for twelve years. A seasoned politician uncommitted to any faction in the increasingly frag
mented English political arena, he became dependent upon the King for guidance and support,
which benefited neither party. The results of George Ill's early political activities thus were a
period of instability which created both political and social turmoil in England and contributed
to the coming of the American Revolution.
JOHN WILKES
Wilkes was a product of this turmoil. The son of a well-to-do distiller, Wilkes received a good
education, including; time at the University of Leyden and travelling in the Rhineland. At the
behest of his father Wilkes married Mary Mead, the daughter of a wealthy London grocer. The

The North Briton was published anonymously but Wilkes was arrested under a general war
rant tor seditious libel. The legality of such a warrant was questionable and its use made Wilkes
into a popu ar hero overnight. Lord Temple, as lord-lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, was ordered
by the King to cancel W ilkes militia commission. Wilkes' papers were seized, and he was im
prisoned in the Tower, he was released on grounds of parliamentary privilege on 6 May 1763.
The experience did nothing to chasten Wilkes, who determined to challenge Lord Egremont, one
of the secretaries of state, to a duel. This was prevented by Egremont's death of natural causes in
August while Wilkes was in France. Egremont's successor in office was Wilkes' old friend, the
Earl of Sandwich, who with Wilkes had been a member of the group known as the Monks of St.
Francis, whose nightly orgies on the site of the former Medmenham Abbey earned them the title
of the Hell-Fire Club. However, in the British politics of the age, friendship was never allowed to
interfere with political advantage. Wilkes returned to England in November and on 12 Novem
ber 1763 published North Briton No. 46, resuming his attack on the government. Sandwich im
mediately revealed a poem entitled "An Essay on Woman.” The poem was anonymous and ap
parently had been written by Wilkes' dead friend Thomas Potter, son of an archbishop of
Canterbury. It appears to have been updated with topical allusions by Wilkes and according to
printers’ depositions it had been printed by Wilkes' direction at his private press. On 15 Novem
ber, only’ three days after the appearance of the new North Briton, Sandwich arranged to have the
House of Lords attack the "Essay" as an obscene and impious libel (which it unquestionably
was) and a breach of privilege; Commons resolved that seditious libel was not covered by privi
lege. Wilkes was seriously wounded in a duel on 16 November with Samuel Martin, a British
secretary of state who slandered Wilkes, but Wilkes showed his continued willingness to fight
hyis-ming a reprint of the entire North Briton. Then his nerve seemed to fail him, and he retreated
to Paris. He carried on a running battle in absentia with Commons and the courts; he was ex
pelled from the former and convicted and outlawed by the latter.
When Rockingham came to power in 1765, Wilkes returned briefly to London in hopes of
obtaining a pardon and position or pension, but he was disappointed. He returned again in October 1766 but he would not deal with Chatham (Pitt), whom he distrusted, and he received no
satisfaction from Grafton. Wilkes appeared yet a third time on 6 February 1768, stood for parlia
ment unsuccessfully in London, then secured a seat in Middlesex on 28 March 1769. It was a
tempestuous time in London. The winter had been exceptionally severe and the Thames River
was frozen over. There had been considerable economic distress. The Common Council of Lon
don had opened a subscription for the relief of the poor, and the price of wheat and bread had
risen sharply in the new year. A number of industrial disputes had arisen, particularly among the
weavers, coal-heavers, hatters and tailors. In short, a popular movement with strong anti-gov
ernment tendencies was well underway when Wilkes returned to London. Wilkes controversy
withfiie governmentmade him a popular figure and his election in Middlesex was the occasion
of celebration and rioting. According to the Annual Register,
Bute and many other gentlemen and tradesmen in most of the public
streets of both cities, London and Westminster.

government was further embarrassed, and the Wilkesand innocent bystande
first martyrs. As for Wilkes, he arranged pubheation of the
SS® for fhe maintenance of order in April, with suitable comments. As George
Rud? a Wilkes biographer, stated, "the massacre was made to appear among a wider public not
merely as the mishandling of a difficult situation by a weak though well-intentioned administra
tion, but as an affair deliberately staged by a brutal and tyrannical executive.
Wilkes was ultimately fined 1000 pounds and sentenced to twenty-two months of imprison
ment This was only a minor inconvenience. He was supported by gifts from those who saw him
as a symbol of opposition against an unpopular government. This included not only English sup
porters but colonials. The Sons of Liberty in Boston and the South Carolma colonial assembly
sent tokens of their esteem. Wilkes' popularity with the mob and other governmental opponents
continued and in early 1769 some of his wealthier supporters, including merchants and mem
bers of parliament, formed the Society of the Supporters of the Bill of Rights. The organization
was set up to pay off Wilkes' outstanding personal debts and political expenses. By April 1770,
the group raised and paid out some 20,000 pounds, reducing Wilkes' debts by about two-thirds.
This activity showed support for Wilkes from a new quarter. The merchant classes of London
disliked the king and considered parliament to be corrupt. Their hostility focused on taxation,
which they felt bore primarily on the business classes of the city. They also were supporters of
the colonies, who shared their aversion for taxation and who provided much of their commerce.
The Wilkesites adopted the colonial slogan of "no taxation without representation" and called
for the reform of parliament to provide more equitable representation, more frequent elections,
and a broader franchise - though few if any of these advocates were proposing votes for the poor.
The concept of a corrupt parliament was strengthened by its reaction to Wilkes' election as a
member from Middlesex. Wilkes was refused his seat despite his re-election three times. On the
final occasion on 13 April 1769, Wilkes' opponent, a Colonel Luttrell, was seated and the election
returns falsified to support this contention. Wilkes' cause was championed by an anonymous
!c?own, °"ly as Junius- Junius published letters in the London press between 1767 and
1772, although the use of the pseudonym dated only from January 1769. His attacks on Grafton
mid other members of the government were often more savage than those published in the North

supported the economic reforms of the Rockingham ministry. However, he took a stand which
went tar beyond them in a proposal which he made in 1776 for the redistribution of parliamen
tary seats. This anticipated the major features of a proposal introduced by William Pitt the younger seven years later. Throughout the American Revolution, Wilkes opposed the government's
measures, a policy in keeping with the views of his political constituency in London. In 1777, he
supported efforts to provide better funding for the British Museum. In 1779 he supported a bill
for the relief of dissenting ministers and schoolmasters from the subscription to the thirty-nine
articles of religion then required by English law. His term as Lord Mayor was also more dignified
than his efforts to achieve the position. His appointment had been celebrated by rioting, but this
was to be the last riot inspired by Wilkes. Wilkes reportedly thanked the king for not having sent
him a pardon when he was in Paris since he would have accepted it. "I am obliged to him," said
Wilkes, "for not having ruined me." Horace Walpole, son of England's first prime minister and a
lifelong observer of England's turbulent politics, gleefully noted, "thus all of the power of the
Crown, all of the malice of the Scots ... all of the treachery of his friends, could not demolish
him." As Lord Mayor and earlier as sheriff, Wilkes worked for the benefit of the citizens. He
reduced the price of bread, punished tradesmen who gave short weight, and cleared the streets
of prostitutes. He established fixed court fees and went so far as to look after the treatment of
animals being sold at market. The most notable event of his tenure was a petition made to
George IH in 1775 on behalf of the American colonies. After extended negotiations, the petition
was presented to the King by Wilkes, the first time that the two had met, the stipulation having
been made first that the King would not speak to the Lord Mayor. The ritual was played out in
this fashion with Wilkes on his most dignified and tactful behavior. The King noted afterwards
that Wilkes was a very well-bred Lord Mayor.
WILKES AND LIBERTY
What was Wilkes' relation to political reform in England and what did he contribute to the
revolutionary cause in America? The difficulty in answering these questions lies in the difficulty
found in assessing Wilkes as a person. Wilkes, had he been rewarded by the government for his
political loyalty in the early 1760s, might never have become the rabblerouser of the North
Briton. Once he became a symbol of dissent, there is ample evidence that he exploited this posi
tion for his own financial and political advantage. Yet, once he achieved office m the 1770s, he
was often found in the forefront of movements for political and social reform. He advocated
parliamentary changes which would not finally be achieved until many years after his death.
While one could dismiss his advocacies as taking a position which he knew would aPPeal hl®
constituents without changing the system significantly, the sweeping reforms which he made in
London as sheriff and Lord Mayor suggest that his actions were motivated more by sincerity

X with great personal ambition and plans was Philip Francis, already mentioned as the most
likely person to have been Junius. Hastings worked towards an India wholly controlled by the
East India Company, while Francis believed that the government should run the administration
in Bengal, the Company should stick to making money, and the rest of India should be left to its
own devices. Francis lost the struggle in India and returned to England in 1780 to undermine
Hastings' position. When Pitt came to power, the new India Act condemned further expansion in
India. Hastings had little choice but to resign and return to England in 1785. Francis, his revenge
still incomplete, continued to press his charges and Pitt allowed the impeachment of Hastings in
May 1787. As Fox was one of the leaders of the move, Wilkes opposed the action and broke
irrevocably with Pitt. This placed him in opposition to Francis as well, another political irony if
Francis was in fact Junius. Apparently tiring of the rough and tumble of British politics, Wilkes
did not stand in the next election in 1790 but retired from politics.
As for the American Revolution, Wilkes' role was even more symbolic. His most important
function was before the revolution when his opposition to the established political forces in Eng
land made him useful to dissident colonials. As Lord Mayor of London and a member of parlia
ment at the beginning of the American Revolution, his influence was limited. His famous peti
tion to the King of 10 April 1775 served those commercial interests that opposed the war. His
speeches against the war in Commons were now a minor voice in the steadily strengthening
opposition to the conflict.

sity to settle the area By the 1750s, however, soil exhaustion and a tripling population compelled
Connecticut settlers to consider settlement of the Wyoming Valley.
The Susquehannah Company was formed in July 1753 in Windham, Connecticut, for the
purpose of purchasing the Susquehanna lands, including the Valley of Wyoming, from the Indian
natives, and to explore and organize a settlement in the region. The settlement urge was blocked
by the intervening French and Indian War ,1754-1763) which pitted the French and their Indian
allies against the English and the American Colonists. By 1758 the Iroquois had entered into a
general peace with the English, and Delaware Indians under Chief Teedyuscung settled in the
Wyoming Valley.
In September 1762 about 119 Susquehannah Company settlers arrived at Mill Creek, near
the current site of the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, to plant grain and erect shelters, after
which they returned to Connecticut. They returned to Mill Creek in May 1763, shortly after
Teedyuscung had burned to death in his home, near the site of present Riverside Drive in South
Wilkes-Barre. Whether the fire was accidental or deliberate is not known. There were warring
factions among the Indians. Then, on October 15, 1763, the Mill Creek settlement was attacked
and twenty settlers were killed by marauding Delawares from outside the area. The settlers and
local Indians both fled the Valley.
Permanent settlement of the Valley was not encouraged until 1768. The Proprietaries who
had long ignored their claim to the region of Pennsylvania had a survey of Wyoming completed
in December 1768. The west side of the river valley was called the Manor of Sunbury. The east
side, including the present Wilkes-Barre area, was called Manor of Stoke. Pennsylvania lessees
settled at Mill Creek in the same month, but as the year closed, the Susquehannah Company
resolved in Hartford, Connecticut, to also resettle the Wyoming Valley.
The Susquehannah Company sent the "first forty" settlers to the Wyoming Valley in Febru
ary 1769. Twice the Connecticut settlers were arrested by the Pennsylvania party, and taken to
Easton, where they were released on bail, and each time the Connecticut settlers returned to the
Valley. Two hundred additional Connecticut settlers arrived in May 1769 under the leadership of
Major John Durkee. Fort Durkee was erected near the present location of the Wilkes College
Center for the Performing Arts.

.
The careers of Durkee and Barre were again joined during the Stamp Act controversy. The
Stamp Act was introduced in the House of Commons in February 1765. Barre was the single
most vocal opponent of the tax in the House; he predicted rebellion in the Colonies. In a famous
speech in opposition to the Stamp Act which stunned the House, Barre called the British Colo
nists in America the "Sons of Liberty," a catch-word which ignited passion in the New England
settlements, but did not stay passage of the Stamp Act by Parliament.
In America, radical patriotic groups called the Sons of Liberty were organized to oppose the
Stamp Act. John Durkee was active in these pre-Revolutionary activities as Norwich was the
center of the Sons of Liberty resistance in Connecticut. In September 1765 Durkee organized a
gang of five hundred men to capture and harass Jared Ingersoll, the Stamp Act agent for Connect
icut. The Sons of Liberty grabbed Ingersoll in Wethersfield and took him to Hartford and forced
him to resign. Among the Sons of Liberty with Durkee were Captain Zebulon Butler, future
leader of the Wyoming forces defeated in the Wyoming Massacre of July 3, 1778, and Benjamin
Harvey, who later settled in West Nanticoke and Plymouth. Harvey became an important figure
in Wyoming Valley frontier life, and he discovered the lake named for him in 1781. When the
Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, the town of Boston had a portrait of Barre hung in Faneuil Hall.
The portrait was later destroyed by British troops during the Boston siege of 1775.
Durkee only knew John Wilkes by reputation since Wilkes never visited America. The
Wilkes name was well-known among the Colonials in the decade before the Stamp Act crisis.
He, like Barre, also had a grievance with Pitt after Wilkes was denied the governorship of Que
bec m 1762. Wilkes was a vocal opponent of the King's ministers. Whether he was a dedicated

of the VaHeY and Durkee among others was jailed in Philadelphia.
In 1770, Captain Lazarus Stewart and the "Paxton Boys" retook Fort Durkee on behalf of the
Yankees. There were additional sieges between the Pennsylvania and Connecticut forces but
the Pennsylvanians were defeated in August 1771 by Yankee forces led by Captain Zebulon Butler. The local war was not fully abated until the Yankees again defeated a Pennsylvania invasion
force at Rampart Rocks near Harvey's Creek at Christmas 1775.
Durkee was kept in a Philadelphia jail until August 1772, nearly two years. After his impris
onment, Durkee did not return to settle in the town he named along the upper Susquehanna
River. He returned to Norwich where his wife, Martha, and children resided. They were nearly
destitute during Durkee's confinement, a reason he was released. He returned to the Wyoming
Valley only for brief visits in 1773 and 1774.
In the years immediately before the Revolutionary War (1775-1781), the Wyoming Valley
was under the control of the shareholders of the Susquehannah Company. The townspeople cre
ated their own government which was neither formally attached to Connecticut nor recognized
by the settlers as subject to Pennsylvania authority. In January 1774, however, the Wyoming
townships were organized under a general town name of Westmoreland and attached to the
county of Litchfield, Connecticut.
During this time Major John Durkee returned to active military duty in Connecticut. He
participated in major battles of war for the patriotic cause, including Bunker Hill and the Battle
of Trenton. Durkee crossed the Delaware River with General George Washington on Christmas
Day 1776. He became Colonel of the 4th Regiment, Connecticut Line, in January 1776. His regi
ment spent the winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. At the Battle of Monmouth, Durkee received a
wound of the right hand which left him permanently disabled. He retired from active military
service in 1781, and exhaustion from the war years contributed to his death in Norwich on May
29 1782

Events in the Wyoming Valley subsequent to the naming of Wilkes-Barre also had a colorful
history. During the Revolutionary War, the settlers of Westmoreland organized troops to join
Washington. Consequently the settlement was largely defenseless, which contributed to the in
famous Wyoming Massacre of local settlers and militia by British and Indian forces in July 1778.
In response, Washington sent Major General John Sullivan on an expedition which arrived in
Wilkes-Barre in June 1779. Sullivan's troops marched into New York State to destroy the Indian

Nations.

ended with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 23,
1781. The TYeaty of Peace with England also ended the proprietary control of Pennsylvania by
the Penn family. A new state government immediately asked the Congress to resolve the Penn
sylvania-Connecticut claims in the Wyoming Valley. A court established at TYenton, New Jersey,
ruled on October 31, 1782, that Pennsylvania owned the Wyoming Valley but that the claims of
Connecticut settlers to land titles should be honored.
The Connecticut settlers were not satisfied with the TYenton Decree, and in March 1783 a
local delegation went to Connecticut to request the Connecticut General Assembly to petition
the Congress for another trial of the Wyoming claims, but Connecticut took no action. A second
Yankee-Pennamite War erupted in the Wyoming Valley in October 1783, ending with another
Connecticut victory in November 1784. The Pennsylvania General Assembly created Luzerne
County in 1786, and the claims of Pennsylvania and Connecticut settlers were eventually set
tled, in general conformity with the TYenton Decree.
SUGGESTED READINGS
The best historical source for a study of frontier Wyoming, exhausting and masterful in de
tail, is O. J. Harvey, A History of Wilkes-Barre (Wilkes-Barre, PA., 1929). Harvey also provides a
full treatment of the various spellings and pronunciations of Wilkes-Barre. (The hyphenated
Wilkes-Barre came into general use after the 1840s.) Harvey's work contains a large chapter on
Wilkes. His chapter on Isaac Barre may be the most extensive history of Barre available any
where.
Other standard local sources are Charles Miner, History of Wyoming (Phil.: J. Crissy, 1845),
and Stewart Pearce, Annals ofLuzerne County (Phil.: J. B. Lippincott, 1886). A children's history
of the Wyoming Valley may be found in the reference section of local libraries: Louis Frank, The
Story of Wyoming (Wilkes-Barre, PA., 1930). For the Valley’s west side, see William Brewster,
History of the Certified Tbwnship of Kingston (Kingston, PA., 1930). An article or summary biogra
phy of Isaac Barre appears in Proceedings of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society (1900),
VI, 113-136.

�The City Observed
A Ithough Barry Roal Carlsen Douglas
A Safranek and Stuart Shils each creates
XX small-format paintings depicting contem
porary urban landscapes, their sensibilities, for
mal concerns and content differ considerably.
Carlsen’s pictures of a mid-sized, midwestem city
express a poetic, oneiric sensibility. Safranek s
punctiliously delineated meditations order the
discordance and cacophony of New York City.
Shils responds spontaneously to the stimuli of a
city undergoing constant cycles of decay and re
birth.
With dramatic contrasts of light and dark,
glowing enameled colors, and a multiplicity of
detail, Barry Carlsen creates an enigmatic, per
sonal and marginal world bathed in crepuscular
light. Suspended between night and day, twilight
marks the transition from work to home, public
to private lives, waking to sleep. It is a bridge
and, not surprisingly, the bridge recurs frequently
as a motif in Carlsen’s paintings.
Carlsen depicts a poetic borderland where dif
ferent worlds intersect and loyalties diverge.
Stations suggests the conflict that the artist feels
between his studio and his family. In this pic
ture the artist is a night-shift worker for whom
the comforting presence of family, suggested by
the light emanating from an upstairs bedroom
window, is denied. The child’s sled, abandoned
by the side of the house, underscores the mood of
isolation. The tension between home and work
is expressed differently in Night Shift where
lower-middle class backyards butt up against
industrial sites.
People become marginal in Carlsen’s world.
The brave-new-world skyscrapers of the modern
service industries march proudly past the ver
nacular structures of the old rustbelt distribu
tion centers, which seem strangely quiet eerie
and preternatural. The individuals, like those
in Not Forgotten, who hang around these by
passed enterprises engage in mysterious, and
often ominous, encounters with each other. Me
mentoes of projects begun, but left unfinished
abound.
The mood is haunting, melancholic
and elegiac. Even the world of The Dreamer is
troubled by disturbing outside forces—symbol
ized by a strong wind that depresses and flat
tens the ascending smoke. The painting’s highly
finished, glossy surface becomes a mirror of
dreams.
Despite their small scale, Carlsen’s paintings
share some of the grandeur of classic nineteenth
century American landscapes. The dramatic, ex
pansive skies recall those of Frederic Edwin
Church, but the mood is closer to that of Thomas
Cole’s allegorical Course of Empire, updated to
show the waning of the American empire. Other
influences include the Immaculate painters: Re
union II in particular shows a knowledge of
Charles Sheeler’s photographs of the Ford Mo
tor Company plant at River Rouge, Michigan.
The tension in Douglas Safranek’s paintings
derives, in part, from the paradox of imposing a
rigid sense of order on what has become, increas
ingly, a subject synonymous with disorder. Un
like, Stuart Shils, Safranek paints the city from
an intellectual point of view: he brings to his
paintings a Cartesian sense of order, reinforced,
no doubt, by his undergraduate training as a
French major.
Typically, as in Still Open,
Safranek employs a high, god-like perspective.
He looks down on the city from the safety of a
window in a tall building. He is a distanced
viewer, a flaneur, who orders what he sees, care
fully removing all chaotic and accidental elements
from the composition.
His choice of medium expresses well his re
lationship to his subject. Working in egg tem
pera, a difficult medium that involves mixing dry
pigments in egg yolk, he applies his colors to a
carefully prepared surface with small, deliberate
brushstrokes. Since egg tempera colors—unlike
oils do not blend easily, the artist must lay down
many, semi-transparent layers of paint. The
medium requires the artist to work slowly, to
eliminate chance effects, and encoi
most meditative attitude, as that of
ing and illustrating manuscripts wl
outside spins out of control. Egg t

forces this perception.

eliminate chance effects, and encourages an al
most meditative attitude, as that of a monk copy
ing and illustrating manuscripts while the world
outside spins out of control. Egg tempera’s dry
quality, in contrast to the juiciness of oil, rein
forces this perception.
Egg tempera is ideally suited for artists
whose work has a strong linear quality. (Safranek
also draws in silverpoint, one example of which
is included in this exhibition, a virtuoso technique
that is unexcelled for precise draughtmanship.)
His linear sensibility aligns him with the Classi
cal, rational tradition that gives precedence to
the intellectualism of line over the sensuality of
color. Safranek’s clear, deliberate forms and con
tours look back to the Classicism of Ingres rather
than the Romanticism of Delacroix.
A Classical air of quietude and timelessness
permeates Still Open. The glowing facade of a
Mini Market draws residents of an urban neigh
borhood together on a desultory summer night.
Two women lean against the side of a parked car
watching four men and a boy, carefully arranged
to form a flattened circle. The single, approach
ing passerby is balanced by another who departs.
Graffiti tags, a frequently cited symbol of urban
decay, become mere visual incident. Yellow
lights, like jewels, draw the eye around the com
position, in which a solitary office tower domi
nates the horizon. To the left massed skyscrap
ers suggest the presence of Manhattan as do the
lighted catenaries of the suspension bridges. The
planar recession of the buildings is static,
unanimated by glimpses of human activity spied
through open night windows. Here, unlike in an
Edward Hopper or a John Sloan, the shades are
drawn.
Stuart Shils, on the other hand, relishes the
din, the noise and the dirt of the city. Working
quickly with oils on paper in a painterly, gestural
style, his plein air cityscapes capture the transitorY and impermanent nature of the urban scene.
Shils has said that his paintings are about

Place- His is an aes’
cewed n • a s?1cl01°Slcal> P°int of view. Con
cerned primarily with visual phenomena he
records what he sees but refrains from making
overt programmatic or political statements. He
invites the viewer to contemplate the scene but,
by means of an empty, foreground intermediary
zone, keeps the viewer at an aesthetic distance.
Although his palette, which consists prima
rily of earth colors, recalls that of the Ash Can
Painters, he does not share their picturesque
view of poverty. Shils lacks the optimism of a
Robert Henri or George Luks who viewed pov
erty as a transitory state populated by individu
als whose lives were more raw, more full, more
gutsy. Nor does he explore the themes of alien
ation, loneliness and estrangement, like Edward
Hopper, or those of human suffering and pathos,
as did Ben Shahn.
In Alley Near Schmidt’s Brewery Shils finds
a certain tattered beauty, like that of an old face,
reflecting experience and, perhaps, wisdom. De
spite having fallen on hard times, his buildings
maintain their dignity. Abstract pictorial con
siderations, however, predominate: the architec
tonic structure begins to dissolve, forms open up,
edges become brushy and indistinct, broad flat
areas of paint are rendered expressionistically.
As in most of his paintings, the alley is deserted,
but no sense of melancholy intrudes.
Throughout the twentieth century, artists
have found inspiration in the American city. De
spite a wide variety of styles, from the naturalis
tic interpretations of the Ash Can Painters or
the American Scene Painters to the increasingly
abstract paintings of the Immaculates, Stuart
Davis or Piet Mondrian, the city has fascinated
artists. The City Observed demonstrates the
continuing vitality of this tradition.

events.
I see the paintings as vehicles to convey emotions, rather than just formal
landscapes. They may represent a reconciliation with the past, an homage
to a certain person, the completion of an unfinished conversation, or just a
wellspring of nostalgia bubbling up. Whatever the content of the given piece,
I am cautious to avoid cementing the objects and setting completely in the
realm of the personal. I want the viewer to bring his or her own experience
to bear in viewing the work.
One of the things I enjoy most is hearing others comment on my work. I have
heard a single painting interpreted as expressing bright hope and optimism
as well as the darkest sense of loss and depression. Either is equally valid to
me, both may even exist in the work. I leave it in the viewer’s hands. When
I hear interpretations of my paintings, it is like discovering a part of myself.
I want to stand quietly in that place between events, spanning both sides of
the question. It is important that the narrative is not altogether complete.
There must be room for the viewer to complete the picture. The time and
place are not meant to be too specific. I am most interested in the human
scale in the environment and the relationships between given objects. I like
to watch and record the transitional: the implied event, the light from an
unseen source, the time just before nightfall or those first moments of the
day. These are the things that intrigue me.

Tk Tew York City’s density was quite overwhelming when I first
I
arrived from the vast and tranquil West. Upon months of
1
observation, however, intimidation subsided to fascination. I
began to appreciate the clashing contrasts of the big city, and the di
versity of the people and structures within. The buildings are piled
high and crammed together, and millions of people share this small
space. Life is never on hold—the city is perpetually moving. Run
down tenements share the streets with cold, steel giants. In my Brook
lyn neighborhood, artists walk along-side Polish immigrants, Italians,
Puerto Ricans, and Hasidic Jews from Hungary. I was inspired to por
tray unparalleled diversity in my paintings.
i
I found that through the slow, meditative process of egg tempera, I was
able to maintain a sense of intimate stillness in even the most active
compositions. I wanted to note not only the clutter and eccentricities
of daily life, but also to bring out that which seemed timeless and uni
versal in a fast-paced environment. My present work continues to de
velop these New York images. Being a delicate, precise medium, egg
tempera encourages working on a smaller scale than I had been used
to. I found, however, that I could achieve the same visual impact in
miniature with tempera that I could only achieve on a grander scale in
other media. The fragility yet ultimate permanency of tempera seems
appropriate for what I hope will be timeless, meditative paintings of a
dynamically changing world.

doing and just enter into the doing of it. It’s like a physical attraction to

light.
—I’m painting the city as it exists today. My colors might seem “old

may come through in my work although I’m not thinking about it. Rather,
I’m trying to remake what I’m looking at, to put it together in a sensual

—The city in its decrepitude is magnificent. I’m not trying to glorify

i River Street

Tick Island and Louse Point are real places. They
belong to those almost primeval wildernesses of Long
Island which lie a scant fifty miles from the metropolis
of New York. Ticks and lice and myriad other species
have resided there for eons amidst the low thickets,
marshes, and surrounding sea. Pesty enough to
overshadow any other impressions early travelers may
have had of the terrain, the ticks and the lice gave their
names to these places.
Later travelers have endured the irritations of insects
in order to savor the more subtle and enduring moods
of land, sea, and air to be found there. In the
nineteenth century, a number of landscapists of note,
such as John F. Kensett and William S. Mount, came to
paint the special light and color which appealed to their
Luminist sensibilities. Painters still come to Long Island
to record those changing, yet changeless, phenomena.
They are not so sculpturally dramatic as the rocky
coasts of Maine, or so picturesquely quaint as the
harbors of Massachusetts. They appeal, perhaps, to
more contemplative souls who like to purloin the
secrets of Nature from her somnolence or imbibe her
spirits leisurely before the intoxication hits.
Berenice D’Vorzon has moved about Tick Island and
Louse Point since she began summering in East
Hampton in her teens, and she has drunk her share of
their brew of light and color. Her work has always been
inspired by landscape. The "Light Shaft” paintings she
executed in the late seventies were derived from the
orests around her farm in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Shafts of shifting colored light interplaying with shafts
of solid tree and foliage were transformed into radiant
graduations of tone and color in her canvases.
The paintings she has done over the past two years
have evolved during prolonged stays in East Hampton,
and stand in striking contrast to the “Light Shaft"
series. The coastal terrain may suggest to her a more
dynamic set of shapes than did the sylvan regiments of
Pennsylvania, or maybe there is simply some deeper
urge to replace the almost classical order of the
"Shafts” with a more baroque dynamism. The central
preoccupations with radiant light and ambiguous space
have not changed, but everything else has. Shapes twist
and turn, expand and contract with eruptive energy.
Paint flows, drips, and thrusts. Compositions seem held
together by more precarious means. We are on the
verge of experiencing something akin to the Action
Painting of the fifties.
D'Vorzon's formative years as an artist indeed
coincided with the tumult of Abstract Expressionism.
But in the sixties and early seventies, it became
fashionable to relegate that movement to the history
books, to declare it spent, as if a decade were enough
to explore its ramifications. There followed a
succession of styles which were emotionally detached,
compared to the naked passion of the Action group.
Pop Op, Minimal, and Photorealism all resolutely
avoided romantic personalism and bravura paint.ng
techniques. Abstract Expressionism was not a cool
style, and the sixties and seventies sought coolness.
91-18000B
�method
of the Expressionists. The recent varieties of painterly
primitivism, the New Imagists, and the messier, more
torrid forms of pattern painting are indicative of this
shift. D’Vorzon had never really drifted far from that
pole anyhow. While her “Light Shaft" paintings seem
rather cool in manner now, their romantic essence was
always apparent. The new works renew the painterly
dynamism of her early style, combining with it the
complex color and tonal harmonies worked out in the
intervening years. The result is a multivalent richness
of surface and illusion, substance and light, active and
passive movement — an orchestration of form which
intensifies the landscape experience to a level of
transcendence.
The most conspicuous Abstract Expressionist
element in the new works are the drips, which D’Vorzon
has revived without fear of being labelled a reactionary
action painter. William Pellicone, writing of D’Vorzon’s
1980 exhibition at the Soho Center for the Visual Arts,
noted the "classical structure (she added) to the usual
action drips."1 Functionally, the passive accident of
the drips plays against the willful propulsion of the
impasto arcs. The drips also reassert the flatness of the
picture plane against the atmospheric illusions of the
brushwork. The drips are, indeed, part of a repertory of
painterly gestures, along with the glazes, impastos,
scumbles, and ribbons of paint drawn from the tube, all
aimed at representing the dynamics of nature through a
distinctive and personal vision. Tempos overlap, and
muted expanses are invaded by shots of color which
ferry the eye across “seas” and along "shorelines.”
to explore other forms in the repertory, such as the
slashing arcs (e.g. “Louse Point Violet"). The “air and
sea” pictures of 1980 and early 1981, with their distant
horizons, began to give way in the middle of 1981 to
pictures containing definite foreground elements, as in
“Night Tracer (Tick Island)." Surging organic shapes
have come to dominate the latest pictures, notably the
“Acabonac Air” series.
D’Vorzon rightfully does not consider herself a flatout
Expressionist. There is unquestionably a powerful
emotional energy coursing through her work, but it
remains intimately attached to the landscape itself.
In fact, most of the paintings and drawings closely
resemble the essential patterns and tonalities
of specific places and phenomena. Their
representationalism is surprisingly clear when
compared with photographs of the sites.2 As Helen
Harrison observed in a recent reference to D’Vorzon's
work in The Tieu> York Times, "the illusion of
landscape and the reality of the painted surface
alternate in the viewer’s consciousness.”’ Lush pigment
and strong design allow these paintings to stand alone
as abstractions, while clear echos of natural space and
light grant them illusionism.
Rather like the Cubists, D’Vorzon has fashioned a
surface which is simultaneously flat and threedimensional. This is a difficult ambiguity to maintain,
this retaining of the rich tactility and rhythmic
patterning of surface, while at the same time flirting
with a void aglow with colored light, or with a shape
that begins to penetrate into the canvas and assume
mass. In another review of D’Vorzon’s work last
"to describe a three-dimensional spatial sensation
without renaissance perspective illusions, by
taking painterly elements that could suggest the
sense of changing light, density, and mutations
of vibrant, sensuous experience, and using them
in new arbitrary ways to invent the essence of a
scene. Il is a vocabulary of nature's signs
reduced to the language of pigment. Color is
alternately solid and fluid as it gestures, drips,
moves, or is contained within bold shapes
composed of abstract strokes."4
The most recent paintings, such as the "Acabonac Air"
pictures, reveal clearer perspectives of the landscape.
D’Vorzon's interest in the dynamics of pictorial space
has. in fact, led her to the use of raking aerial views,
akin to late medieval landscapes, which reveal botfi the
perspective of the topography and its surface patterns.
Even more than space, light inspires D’Vorzon. An
immense, carefully orchestrated range of tonalities
pervades her work, paintings and drawings alike. Light
radiates from her surfaces in ways often more
suggestive of bravura quasi-lrnpressionists, such as
Manet or Sargent, than of the Abstract Expressionists.
In many of the works, her sensibilities seem to run even
closer to those of the great Romantic landscapist,
Turner, whose frothy evocations of mist laden air and
churning sea reached new heights of evocative
sublimity.

The drips have become less important since their
initial appearance, however, as D Vorzon has turned
to explore other forms in the repertory, such as the
slashing arcs (e.g. “Louse Point Violet ). The air and

work in The New York Times, “the illusion of
landscape and the reality of the painted surface
alternate in the viewer’s consciousness.”3 Lush pigment
and strong design allow these paintings to stand alone
as abstractions, while clear echos of natural space and
light grant them illusionism.
Rather like the Cubists, D’Vorzon has fashioned a
surface which is simultaneously flat and threedimensional. This is a difficult ambiguity to maintain,
this retaining of the rich tactility and rhythmic
patterning of surface, while at the same time flirting
with a void aglow with colored light, or with a shape
that begins to penetrate into the canvas and assume
mass. In another review of D’Vorzon’s work last
December, Phyllis Braff described her search for a
method
"to describe a three-dimensional spatial sensation
without renaissance perspective illusions, by
taking painterly elements that could suggest the
sense of changing light, density, and mutations
of vibrant, sensuous experience, and using them
in new arbitrary ways to invent the essence of a
scene. It is a vocabulary of nature's signs
reduced to the language of pigment. Color is
alternately solid and fluid as it gestures, drips,
moves, or is contained within bold shapes
composed of abstract strokes."4
The most recent paintings, such as the “Acabonac Air"
pictures, reveal clearer perspectives of the landscape.
D'Vorzon’s interest in the dynamics of pictorial space
has, in fact, led her to the use of raking aerial views,
akin to late medieval landscapes, which reveal both the
perspective of the topography and its surface patterns.
Even more than space, light inspires D’Vorzon. An
immense, carefully orchestrated range of tonalities
pervades her work, paintings and drawings alike. Light
radiates from her surfaces in ways often more
suggestive of bravura quasi-Impressionists, such as
Manet or Sargent, than of the Abstract Expressionists.
In many of the works, her sensibilities seem to run even
closer to those of the great Romantic landscapist,
Turner, whose frothy evocations of mist-laden air and
churning sea reached new heights of evocative
sublimity.
Like these nineteenth century counterparts, D’Vorzon
provides us with an almost palpable immersion in
nature. Hers are not abstract permutations worked
out remote from their inspiration. They are vivid
condensations of specific phenomena — storms over
the sea, sunsets, glimmering ponds, tangled thickets —
seen, felt, and pushed through into paint, to bring us
into some moment of rapture which the artist felt in
nature’s presence. There is something like a vision of
Genesis in these paintings. Light emerges out of
darkness upon a primeval world of half-generated
forms. The energy is nascent and unbridled, but it has
been coerced by a controlling will into meaningful
pictorial drama.

Many artists have focused on the same subject, but few have
shared a vision like that of photographers Berenice Abbott
and Hank O'Neal. For 19 years, the two not only shared an
interest in the same topic - the state of Maine - but a way of
seeing as well. lncluded in this exhibition is the last scene
that Abbott wanted to photograph, but couldn't, which was
later taken by O'Neal.
