May 9, 2005: Dear Readers, It is with great pleasure that we present to you the first issue of Capital Scholar, an online journal of liberal studies, social commentary and creative writing, published in association with the Georgetown chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. We sincerely hope that the various pieces in the issue speak to you in some way, whether by sparking interest in a hitherto unfamiliar subject or by inspiring your own research. The odyssey you are about to embark on will stretch from the stoic art of Stalin’s USSR to the pristine beaches of New Zealand. Along the way, your attention will hopefully be drawn to the haunting imagery of our national capital’s very own Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial, before you relax while reading about hot and steamy encounters in Dupont Circle. Whether scholarly or light-hearted, the pieces before you impressed us by their original content and force of creative expression. If that impression is at all shared by you, our readers, we will consider the Scholar’s maiden voyage a success. Your Editors-in-Chief, February 2005: Dear NSCS members, It is with great pleasure that we announce a new, exciting project undertaken by Georgetown's NSCS chapter; an exclusively online journal, Capital Scholar, where the very best work of NSCS members may be published for all to read and enjoy. Despite the diverse array of current campus publications, we believe that Capital Scholar can fulfill an important role of providing a free and dynamic outlet for the many forms of writing by Georgetown undergraduates. Ideally, it will claim an intermediate place between a scholarly journal such as Mentis Vita and a literary publication like Anthem, accommodating serious academic papers, as well as lighter editorial and creative pieces. We believe that the journal will showcase the brilliant scholarship, original thinking, and intellectual vigor that characterize NSCS members. Moreover, the publication's online format suitably represents the contemporary, engaging, and innovative qualities we hope to see in the journal. We would now like to extend an invitation to all NSCS members to submit your best written work to Capital Scholar to be included in our first issue. This is an excellent opportunity to publish for aspiring academics and unrecognized literati alike. More specific guidelines for appropriate submissions are listed below. The journal will be comprised of three sections: Scholar's Notebook, Expressions, and Symposium. Scholar's Notebook: Submissions for this section may include academic papers that have been written in any field within the liberal arts; they may or may not have been written in conjunction with your coursework at Georgetown. We ask that the pieces be no longer than 3000 words (approx. 10 pages double-spaced). Expressions: Submissions for this section may consist of various forms of creative writing, including poetry and short stories. Please limit your short story submissions to 4500 words (approx 15 pages double-spaced). Symposium: This section will be particularly unique to Capital Scholar and expressive of the distinctive character of the publication. Each issue, this section will revolve around a new theme that somehow encapsulates various aspects of Georgetown life and education, as well as their influence over our personal experiences here. This issue's theme will take a look at Georgetown's Catholic and Jesuit identity today and what role (if any) it plays in distinguishing Georgetown from other universities. We hope to see papers both pondering the identity intellectually and discussing what it means on a more personal level. Critical pieces are also welcome, as the University is an ever-growing and ever-changing community. Submissions to this section may be of an editorial, scholarly or reflective nature and should be between 1000 and 4000 words. The deadline for submissions is March 25th, 2005. Submissions may be sent to Kathryn Vesey (khv@georgetown.edu) or Bogdan Tereshchenko (byt@georgetown.edu). Again, we strongly encourage you all to take advantage of this chance to publish and share your work with others, including your fellow NSCS members. Also, if you are interested in getting involved on the editorial or publicity side of the publication, please contact either Bogdan or Kathryn. We look forward to hearing from you! Best, Bogdan Tereschenko |
