О Тесли на Берклију

О Тесли на Берклију

Организација српских студената на Беркли Универзитету у Калифорнији организовала је 9. фебруара вече посвећено Николи Тесли, а поводом 70 година од смрти овог српског и светског научника. То је уједно било и обележавање Дана Светог Саве, а присуствовало је више од 250 људи, јавља за Програм за дијаспору Нина Вајт са Берклија.

Поред мултимедијалне презентације, вођена је и дискусија о овом нашем научнику светског гласа. Специјални гости су били Роберт Утх и Симонида Утх, аутори документарног филма Tesla Master of Lightning, који је приказан те вечери, и др Богдан Лубардић са Теолошког факултета из Београда. Изведен је и културно-уметнички програм посвећен Светом Сави и Тесли.

Намера српских студената на овом престижном Универзитету је да сваке године, приликом обележавања Дана Св. Саве, представе једног Србина, који је задужио српски народ или свет.

Светосавска академија уприличена је и прошле године када је гостима и посетиоцима презентована прича о Светом Сави, његовом световном и духовном животу и значају.

A statue of a Sioux warrior on a rearing horse, proposed and modeled by Serbian-born sculptor John David Brcin (1899–1983), realized by Matthew Placzek in the late 1920s for the entrance to the Joslyn Memorial.

The biggest commission Brcin has executed — and one of the choicest of his era in the United States — was for the Joslyn Memorial, Omaha, a handsome marble building with picture galleries and an auditorium adaptable as a theater, given by Mrs. Sarah H. Joslyn to be the city’s center for painting, sculpture, music, literature, the drama and cultural arts in general. It is a $3,000,000 structure, dedicated to George A. Joslyn, a pioneer “patent-medicine man” of Omaha who became the city’s wealthiest capitalist, founded various enterprises, including the Western Newspaper Union, and died in 1918.

The Hagia Sophia

The Hagia Sophia

The Mystical Light of the Great Church and its Architectural Dress

by Charalambos P. Stathakis

Dear reader, as you run like the rest of us along the dizzy main road, stop, stay aside for a while. Let the others be dizzy, and take the secret underground trail, which will lead you through the dewdrops of the leaves, the crystal smile of the sun, the city’s underground galler- ies, your knowledge, and your feelings, to the doorstep of the Hagia Sophia. Because all dew- drops, all sunrays, and all beauty lead there. That is what you will be told by my friend, the author, whom I am fond of and whom I send you to, Charalambos Stathakis: the doctor, the warm and humane researcher, the scientist devoted to his work and his patients, who has given a series of scientific papers, who, nevertheless, retains a nest of beauty untouched in his heart, which makes him outstanding—even though he is not a specialist in architecture, nor a historian, nor a theologian, nor a Byzantinist—it makes him stand out in all these together and in entirety.
