William Ernest Johnson (23 June 1858 - 14 January 1931) was a British logician mainly remembered for his Logic (1921-1924), in 3 volumes. In 1924, in volume III he introduced the important concept of exchangeability.
He taught at King's College, Cambridge for nearly thirty years. He wrote a bit on economics, and John Maynard Keynes was one of his students. Johnson was a colleague of Keynes's father, John Neville Keynes.
Logic was dated at the time of its publication, and Johnson
can be seen as a member of the British logic "old guard" pushed aside by
the Principia Mathematica of Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell.
Yet an article entitled "The Logical Calculus" (Johnson 1892) reveals
that he had nontrivial technical capabilities in his youth, and that he
was significantly influenced by the formal logical work of Charles Sanders Peirce. The article begins as follows:

"As a material machine economises the exertion of force, so a
symbolic calculus economises the exertion of intelligence ... the more
perfect the calculus, the smaller the intelligence compared to the
results."

A.N. Prior's Formal Logic cites this article several times.
John Passmore tells us:

"His neologisms, as rarely happens, have won wide acceptance: such

“Canadian folk singer and community activist. [...] In 1954, after the departure of Helen Gray, Simone was asked by fellow UJPO member and co-founder of The Travellers, Jerry Goodis, to join the group. That same year, under the direction of Samuel Goldberg, they made their television debut on the CBC program, Haunted Studio. [...] It was after The Travellers appeared on a national television commercial for Molson Canadian Beer that Simone started to doubt the direction of the group. She felt the band had strayed from their "roots" and were more interested in becoming mainstream. In 1969, she left The Travellers due to artistic differences. She was replaced by Pam Fernie.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1067533/bio/

This is the administrative history or biographical sketch (RAD 1.7B)

Emily Elizabeth Constance Jones (1848-1922) was an English educator and writer on logic and ethics, and Mistress of Girton College, Cambridge, from 1903 until 1916. Her ideas were misrepresented by Bertrand Russell as his own.

She was educated at Girton, taking a first class in the Moral Sciences Tripos in 1880; was a resident lecturer on moral sciences (1884-1903), and after 1903 mistress. She translated, with Miss Hamilton, Hermann Lotze's Mikrokosmus (1888); edited Henry Sidgwick's Methods of Ethics (1901) and his Ethics of Green, Spencer, and Martineau (1902); and wrote Elements of Logic (1890); A Primer of Logic (1905); A Primer of Ethics (1909); A New Law of Thought and its Logical Bearing (1911); Girton College (1913).

Jones was the first woman recorded as having delivered a paper to the Cambridge University Moral Sciences Club. She spoke about James Ward's Naturalism and Agnosticism on 1 December 1899, with the philosopher Henry Sidgwick chairing the meeting. Her views were regarded as original and influenced her colleagues. She spent her career developing the idea that categorical propositions are composed of a predicate and a subject related via identity or non-identity.

He studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music between 1939 and 1942, learning clarinet from Herbert Pye. He later graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Toronto in 1950. Kane served with the Royal Canadian Signals Corps Band from 1942 to 1945, and led the Khaki Kollegians in the "Army show" during 1945 and 1946. He played with orchestras of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) after leaving the army in 1946. While studying composition with John Weinzweig, Kane started composing several concert works for woodwinds, strings, and saxophone, as well as a symphony that was never finished. He was appointed assistant arranger-conductor to Howard Cable in 1949, and became the chief arranger for CBC Radio's "Startime" the following year. His work led to the Maurice Rosenfeld Prize for most promising newcomer to Canadian radio in 1951. Kane soon moved over to television. He was the music director for CBC shows "On stage" (1954), "The Jackie Rae show" (1955), and "Summertime '57", and was featured on "Music makers '58," "Music makers '59," and "Music '60 presents the Jack Kane hour." His success as an arranger attracted the attention of American singers Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, and when NBC offered them a television show as a summer replacement for Steve Allen in 1958, they insisted that Kane join them as music director. He also served in this role for Andy William's variety show with CBS in 1959 and for a NBC special featuring Ethel Merman 1959, commuting to New York from his home in Toronto. Kane recorded several albums during this period, including "Kane is able" (1958; nominated for a Grammy award for best orchestra performance), "Jack Kane salutes the women of show business" (1960), and "Raisin' Kane" (1961), and performed in recordings by Steve Allen and Dorothy Collins during the late 1950s.

His career was celebrated through a recording of his big band arrangements by Bert Niosi leading the Jake Kane Band for the Canadian Talent Library Trust in 1963.

“Ken Whiteley and The Beulah Band are creating exciting new music that is deeply rooted in traditional North American folk forms. You’ll hear echoes of blues, gospel, swing, string and jug band sounds. They are all outstanding and versatile instrumentalists and great harmony singers. And if anyone can match the youthful energy of his bandmates it is Ken Whiteley. It’s been 10 years since Ben Whiteley first began performing with his Dad, Canadian folk legend Ken Whiteley. This past winter they decided to share the producer role for Ken’s new cd and Ben began sharing his insight about where he thought his father’s work might best focus. That shaped a winter of songwriting with definite funky, folky elements. As spring returned, they began talking about who best to play this new material with. When they got together with banjoist extraordinaire, Frank Evans and fantastic fiddler, Rosalyn Dennett, not only did the arrangements come alive, but they found they had that most special of things – a marvelous, 3 part vocal blend. And so was born Ken Whiteley and The Beulah Band!” https://ottawagrassrootsfestival.com/performer/ken-whiteley-and-the-beulah-band/

the way the economy works), "normative economy" (the study of what
should be), and the "art of economics" (applied economics).
The art of economics relates the lessons learned in positive economics
to the normative goals determined in normative economics. He tried to
synthesise deductive and inductive reasoning as a solution to the "Methodenstreit". His main works were:
Studies and Exercises in Formal Logic (1884)The Scope and Method of Political Economy (1891)

Madiha Didi Khayatt was born in Egypt and spent her early years in Cairo. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the American University in Cairo before emigrating to Canada in 1967. Khayatt became a secondary school teacher, and continued her education by earning a Master of Arts degree from McMaster University, and a Master of Education degree from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto. She quit teaching to pursue her doctorate at the University of Toronto, where her course work awakened a commitment to feminism. Khayatt's thesis examined the lives of nineteen lesbian teachers within the context of an education system intended to deliver mainstream societal values, as well as issues of sexual identity within public and private spheres and protection of equal rights to employment. This work was published by the State University of New York Press in 1992 as "Lesbian teachers : an invisible presence." Khayatt was appointed to York University's Faculty of Education with a cross appointment with Women's Studies. Her teaching focused on feminist pedagogy, and her research included topics such as race, class, sexuality, social justice, and same sex love between women in Egypt. Khayatt served as Co-ordinator of the Women's Studies Programme at Glendon College from 1991 to 1993, Director of the Centre for Feminist Research from 1998 to 2001, and Advisor to the President on gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, and queer issues from 2002 to 2005. Professor Khayatt received the Canadian Association for the Study of Women and Education Achievement Award in 2008 her her contributions to feminist education and theoretical knowledge production.

James Robbins Kidd (1915-1982), educator and author, was born in Canada and educated at Sir George Williams University, McGill and Columbia University where he obtained the PhD. Kidd served as associate director and later as director of the Canadian Association for Adult Education (1947-1961).

Kiev Glasnost Films, Inc. distributed films contextualizing the fall of Communism in the USSR and Eastern Europe. Its history begins in 1989 when Dr. Romana M. Bahry, Associate Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies and Fellow of Stong College at York University became the recipient of the 1989 Canada -USSR Academic Exchange Grant which allowed her to travel in August 1989 to St. Petersburg (then called Leningrad), Moscow and Kyiv (then called Kiev). She was one of the first Slavic Studies professors in Canada to travel to Ukraine which was then still part of the USSR. It is here that Professor Bahry met directors of the Ukrainian film studios who asked her to take their films to Canada with her. That same year, Bahry organized a film festival at York University Ukraine titled "Glasnost and Ukrainian Documentary Films" (Oct. 22-23, 1989) which screened documentary films from Kiev. During Bahry’s second visit to Ukraine in 1990, she met with documentary and animation film studios in Kyiv (then called Kiev) and formed Kiev Glasnost Films which would acquire screening and duplication rights.

After acquiring permissions, Kiev Glasnost Films and Bahry were involved with organizing an international symposium at York University titled "Ukrainian Glasnost Films 1990" (proceedings of the symposium published as "York University, Ukrainian Glasnost, 1990 Film Festival”) and consultation for the symposium and film series on "Soviet Society in the Glasnost Era" at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.; the American Committee on U.S.-Soviet Relations, January 10-21, 1991; The University of Alberta and The Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts, March 23, 1991; C.B.C. television’s the Journal "Latvia, Ukraine" (March 1991); and the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute: Contemporary Ukrainian Film Festival, Harvard University, Ukrainian Research Institute, August 1991.

Elizabeth Kilbourn, broadcaster, journalist, and Anglican minister, was born in Hespeler, Ontario on 18 July 1926 to Violet M. Hill and Rev. Philip A. Sawyer.

Edward King (29 December 1829 - 8 March 1910) was an Anglican bishop. He was the second son of the Reverend Walker King, Archdeacon of Rochester and rector of Stone, Kent, and grandson of the Reverend Walker King, Bishop of Rochester; his nephew was the Reverend Robert Stuart King, who played football for England in 1882.
King graduated from Oriel College, Oxford, was ordained in 1854, and four years later became chaplain and lecturer at Cuddesdon Theological College (now Ripon College Cuddesdon). He was principal at Cuddesdon from 1863 to 1873, when Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone appointed him Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology at Oxford and canon of Christ Church. King became the principal founder of the leading catholic theological college in the Church of England, St Stephen's House, Oxford, now a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford. To the world outside, King was known at this time as an Anglo-Catholic and one of Edward Pusey's
most intimate friends (even serving as a pall-bearer at his funeral in
1882), but in Oxford, and especially among the younger men, he exercised
influence by his charm and sincerity. King had also been devoted to his
mother, who assisted him at Cuddleston and Oxford by keeping his house
and entertaining guests as his position required. King never married and
his mother died in 1883.
A leading member of the English Church Union, Dr. King fought prosecutions in lay courts under the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874 (which Archbishop of Canterbury Archibald Campbell Tait and Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli had secured over the Gladstone's opposition, in order to restrict the growing Oxford Movement). In 1879 King's writings concerning Holy Communion were criticized as Romish in a pamphlet by a local vicar.
In 1885, upon Gladstone's invitation when he again became Prime Minister, King accepted consecration as Bishop of Lincoln, which he noted had been the diocese of John Wesley. The consecrating bishops included Archbishop of Canterbury Edward White Benson, with presenting Bishops John Mackarness
of Oxford and Woodford of Ely. Other consecrating bishops were Bishop
Temple of London, Bishop Thorold of Rochester, Bishop Wilberforce of
Newcastle, Bishop Trollope of Nottingham, Bishop How of Bedford, Bishop
Carter of Ripon and Bishop Bousfield of Pretoria.
Although Tait had died in 1882, the Puritan faction continued,
including at Lincoln where J. Hanchard published a sketch of King's
life, criticizing his Romish tendencies. Beginning in 1888, based on a churchwarden's complaint concerning a service conducted at Cleethorps, funded by the Church Association, King was prosecuted before Archbisjop Benson for six ritualistic practices.
In his "Lincoln Judgment", Archbishop Benson found Bishop King guilty
on two counts and also required him to conduct the manual acts during
the prayer of consecration during the Holy Communion service in such a
way that the people could see them.
Archbishop Benson specifically allowed the use of lighted candles, and
mixing of elements, as well as the eastward position during the service.
The Church Association appealed the Bishop's process to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, but was denied in 1890.
Bishop King loyally conformed his practices to the archbishop's
judgment. Some considered the process a repudiation of the
anti-ritualism movement,
though it proved physically and emotionally taxing for King, whose
physique had never been particularly robust. Moreover, a decade later,
after Frederick Temple
succeeded Benson as Archbishop of Canterbury, he and the Bishop of York
prosecuted two priests for using incense and candles, and notified
Bishop King of Lincoln of their condemnation, which he abided.
Later, many of King's liturgical practices became commonplace,
including making the sign of the cross during the absolution and
blessing, and mixture of elements during the service, for which the
criticisms had been upheld as an innovation.
As Bishop, King devoted himself unsparingly to pastoral work in his
diocese, particularly among the poor, both farmers and industrial
workers, as well as condemned prisoners. He supported the Guild of
Railway men, as well as chaplains in the Boer War and missionaries. In 1909 he visited Oxford in his episcopal capacity for the 400th anniversary of Brasenose College. Irrespective of his High Church views, he won the affection and reverence of all classes by his real saintliness of character.

Frances "Fanny" Eliza Grenfell was born in 1814, the daughter of Pascoe Grenfell, MP for Great Marlow, and his second wife, Georgiana St Leger.
Fanny was educated privately and in the mid 1830s she lived with three of her religious, unmarried sisters. The group was attracted the Catholic revival within the Church of England and were involved in joining an Anglican sisterhood, similar to Puseyite Park Village (established in 1845).
On July 6, 1839 Fanny met Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), a Cambridge undergraduate. The two began a protracted courtship, which the Grenfell family strongly disapproved of. Fanny introduced Kingsley to writers such as Coleridge, Carlyle, and F. D. Maurice and exercised a strong influence of his subsequent career in the Anglican Church. The two were finally married on 10 January 1844.

The couple settled in Hampshire, where Charles Kingsley took up the curacy of Eversley. The couple had four children and Fanny was heavily involved in her husband's parish work.
Following Charles' death, Fanny took up the writing and editing of his correspondence, publishing "Charles Kingsley: his Letters and Memoir of his Life" in 1877, as well as four volumes of his selected writings.
She died on 12 December 1891.
