#History #NationalGeographic #Throwback #WorldWarI
For #ThrowbackThursday, here’s a 1918 National Geographic Magazine. I bought this in about 1972 on a trip to New Hampshire, my dad’s home area.
This week is the first time I’ve ever taken time to read it. In June 1918, ever single article connects very directly to the Great War.
The article on “Prussianism” is striking because the criticisms would apply today to — wait for it — the USA.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.
Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

‘Bertrand Russell & Trinity: A college controversy of the last war’ is a pamphlet written by G.H. Hardy in 1942, giving an account of the dismissal of Russell from his Trinity College lectureship in 1916 following his criminal conviction for anti-war political activity. (Hardy was at the time a fellow of Trinity and opposed Russell's ouster.)
Since there was no downloadable ebook, I made a re-typeset version, which I have just updated: https://archive.org/details/hardy_russellandtrinity
Creating this version was an exercise for me to learn how to (start to) adapt my LaTeX styles to the new interfaces created by the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/]. (A #TaggedPDF contains supplementary information to assist screen reading software, data extraction, etc.)
The updates are mostly behind-the-scenes source code changes, particularly to use the new template interfaces for sectioning. I have made the source available in case it is useful as an example to others: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/hardy_russellandtrinity

#WorldWarI lasted 1,568 days. In addition to ending the Ottoman Empire and (in many cases ignorantly) redrawing maps of #Europe and the #MiddleEast it terminated the last #Tsar.
Today is the 1,568th day of the invasion of #Ukraine by #Russia during what was supposed to be a ‘3-day #SpecialMilitaryOperation.’
#VladTheInvader #Putin should be careful around neo-#Bolsheviks. 😂
