19460010002<p>On offer is a fine hardcover notebook written by a United States Navy chaplain following World War Two. Included as well are a number of pieces of ephemera and legal documents such as marriage licenses an invitation to the wedding of the daughter of a US Navy Admiral and various newspaper clippings.</p><p>The author of the volume is Reverend Calvin H. Elliott an Episcopalian minister and US Navy chaplain who served immediately after WWII. Not only does this detailed notebook provide insight into the thoughts of this Navy chaplain and his worldview it also offers concrete and valuable genealogical information for those researching family connections within the military community. </p><p>Elliott's journal is a line-noted book in which he recorded events between May 1946 and November 1957 with the bulk of entries taking place between 1948 and 1953. Inside Elliott provides a fascinating glimpse into his life and service. He reflects on topics ranging from why he should obey orders from the Navy to the purposeless nature of attending Columbia University in New York to the comfort found in the belief in a spiritual reality. </p><p>The journal begins with the chaplain taking his oath in New York City and goes on to recount brief trips to Los Angeles and Washington DC getting his vaccinations travelling to Hawaii and seeing Pearl Harbor and then moving onward to the Marshall Islands Guam and Shanghai. Many entries over the years detail births and baptisms marriages and funerals within the military communities that he served. The following samples reveal the flavour of Elliott's records:</p><p>"Took oath May 21 1946 NYC." May 21 1946</p><p>"Flew on NAVS to Pearl Met Capt MA Norcross SC USN. Look up in China Co-pilot NATS: Lt. WL." June 5 1946</p><p>"Left Guam to Shanghai and arrived Tringtar at 1200." June 24 1946</p><p>"Assigned to 2nd Bn 1 Mar Div. Duty with additional work at the airstrip." June 25 1946</p><p>He also made notes for sermons and recorded personal reflections. "Loneliness can't be tossed out by drink or mad living or by reason. Its a longing for companionship which is more than just closeness—its for a mutual understanding a knowing . . . a deep seated sense of life in its meaning and beauty and breathless adventure." Sept 1 1948 </p>This volume measures 8.0 inches by 5.25 inches and contains 188 pages. It is twenty percent complete. The condition of the covers and binding is good and the pages are all intact with legible handwriting. hardcover

These were limited to between 200 and 300 copies each. Some bear the ownership signature of Richard Blanc a geneticist who contributed a number of articles to early issues of DIS. The bound volumes are in hardcover green boards and are bound without their covers; these early issues sometimes had "worksheets" and the 6th issue has a few rectangles cut out of the first few worksheets otherwise the texts are all very good; some wear to the wraps especially along spines and a few of them have seen some light and neat restoration. Among the contributors one finds many contributions from the start to the finish from Hermann Muller who won the Nobel Prize for his contributions to genetics plus at least two others of Morgan's "fly boys" -- Sturtevant and Bridges. Started by Demerec to aggregate and share information on the burgeoning field DIS supplied "stock lists" internationally and also provided a space for reports articles findings and other information researchers were sharing about their studies. An incredibly important scientific journal that exemplified the more open and generous sharing of information from a prior era in science. Because these were so limited they are rare in the trade and in institutions. A nice run excepting no. 9 of issues 6-25 fine association copies as they were owned by a contributor. M. Demerec, et al. unknown
