# Mendoza HM-3

The **HM-3** is a submachine gun of Mexican origin chambered in the 9mm calibre and, since 2011, in .380 ACP caliber for private security forces.

This sub-machine gun is manufactured by Productos Mendoza, S.A. in Mexico. It is a lightweight weapon of reduced overall length achieved by largely extending the wrap around bolt forward around the barrel. A grip safety is provided to prevent accidental discharge. The stock is designed in a manner that makes folding and unfolding easy and provides a foregrip when the stock is folded. The selector lever is on the right-hand side of the weapon so that it can be operated by the right hand without releasing the weapon with either hand. The stock can be folded or unfolded while gripping the weapon with both hands unlike the previous models of the same gun and the magazine is located on the grip.

## Variants

### 9mm caliber models

There are currently three variations on the HM-3 using a 9mm caliber round. The HM-3-S LONG is a 15.74 in (23.85 in with extended stock) long model, used primarily for the Mexican Police and other State and Municipal security forces. The HM-3-S SHORT is almost identical, with the exception that the barrel is shortened and therefore measures only 12.99 in (21.06 in with extended stock). The HM-3-S BULLDOG (also called HM-3-S Mini) is a miniature version of the weapon, especially designed to be carried by motorcycle police and bodyguards, and measures only 10.8 in (19.3 in with extended stock) in length and weighs 2,827 g (6.2 lbs) with a full 32-round magazine. All versions may use 20 or 32-round magazines.

### .380 caliber models

Since 2011, Productos Mendoza has manufactured a variation of the HM-3-S that shoots a .380 ACP caliber round. This is the largest caliber available to use by private security companies and individuals in Mexico, and the most popular caliber for personal defence in Latin America. The HM-3-S LONG model is called "COBRA .380" and the HM-3-S BULLDOG is called "BULLDOG .380". These names were created to facilitate the models' introduction to the consumer market. All specs are the same (excluding caliber) as the HM-3-S 9mm models, with the exception that .380 models can carry a 35-round magazine.

### Specs

| Model | Cartridge | Empty weight | Loaded weight | Length with folded stock | Length with extended stock | Barrel length | Magazine |

title: Verticordia sect. Jugata

abstract: Verticordia sect. Jugata is one of seven sections in the subgenus Chrysoma. It includes seven species of plants in the genus Verticordia. Plants in this section are mostly bushy shrubs to 1.0 m (3 ft) tall with bright yellow flowers which in some species turn red as they age. They have sepals with fringed lobes, petals which have lobes arranged like the fingers of a hand and bracteoles which are joined together and remain attached to the flower after it opens. When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991, he described the section and gave it the name Jugata. The name Jugata is from the Latin word jugis meaning "yoked together" referring to the arrangement of the bracteoles in these species. The type species for this section is Verticordia chrysantha and the other six species are V. chrysanthella, V. galeata, V. brevifolia V. coronata, V. amphigia and V. laciniata.

title: Panicum hemitomon

abstract: Panicum hemitomon is a species of grass known by the common name maidencane. It is native to North America, where it occurs along the southeastern coastline from New Jersey to Texas. It is also present in South America. This plant is a rhizomatous perennial grass with stems reaching up to 2 meters in height. It is aquatic or semi-aquatic, growing in water or wet soils. It spreads via its rhizome to form large colonies. The canelike roots are filled with air and form a mass up to 46 centimeters wide. The stems may be erect or spreading; if nodes on the stem contact moist substrate they will root. Stems that break off and float away may root where they land. There are fertile and sterile stems. The leaves are up to 35 centimeters long by 1.5 wide and have tapering tips. The inflorescence is a panicle with upright branches. This species is a common grass in coastal wetlands. It is only found in freshwater, not sea water or brackish water. It can be found in many types of freshwater wetlands as well as in ditches and disturbed or cultivated areas. It is less sensitive to grazing than many associated species, but growth is reduced by competition from neighboring plants. It is common in the Everglades and other regions in Florida. It may form large monotypic stands which are rooted or floating free to form a floating marsh. It forms its most dense stands on the drier sites in wet habitats. It can tolerate several months of flooding. The rhizome network helps to stabilize soil and prevent erosion. Some biologists therefore refer to it as a keystone species This grass sprouts from the rhizome in the winter and grows over the course of the year. It is most dense in summer and fall. The aboveground parts die and break off, forming floating mats. Then the rhizome becomes dormant. Maidencane is good for cattle forage, and there are maidencane-dominated marshes in Florida which are used for cattle grazing. It can be used as hay. It is also eaten by deer and utilized by the Florida panther, which lives in the marshes. The American alligator also lives in maidencane wetlands. Many other animals are found in these habitat types. The plant is considered a weed in some places, such as cultivated crop fields. It is also considered a nuisance species when it becomes very dense. It may compete with food plants for waterfowl. Controlled burns are sometimes initiated to thin the plant.

## Discography


title: Plexi

abstract: Plexi was an American gothic noise rock band consisting of Michael Angelos, Michael Barragan and Norm Block. Formed in 1993, their original name was Godseed. Their sound has been compared to bands such as Bauhaus, Sonic Youth, The Cure, Bailter Space, Swervedriver, The Psychedelic Furs, My Bloody Valentine and Psi Com. Plexi's material combined a mix of detached, wry, existential, and romantic lyrics with a flamboyant blend of glam rock and artsy avant-garde textures and noise. Guitarist Michael Barragan was known for regular use of an Echoplex unit to create chaotic walls of sound. The band members were known for their decadent appearance featuring black leather garb, heavy make-up, and arcane tattoos. These traits, along with their edgy, yet radio-friendly music, made the band stand out from other groups of its era. A blurb on the band in the 1997 CD Spring Lineup: A Compilation Of Sub Pop's Heavy Hitters read, "Embraced by the hardest rock enthusiasts and real favorites at the Viper Room, Plexi is L.A.'s freshest Noxema [sic] girl."

Their sound has been compared to bands such as Bauhaus, Sonic Youth, The Cure, Bailter Space, Swervedriver, The Psychedelic Furs, My Bloody Valentine and Psi Com. Plexi's material combined a mix of detached, wry, existential, and romantic lyrics with a flamboyant blend of glam rock and artsy avant-garde textures and noise. Guitarist Michael Barragan was known for regular use of an Echoplex unit to create chaotic walls of sound.

The band members were known for their decadent appearance featuring black leather garb, heavy make-up, and arcane tattoos. These traits, along with their edgy, yet radio-friendly music, made the band stand out from other groups of its era. A blurb on the band in the 1997 CD *Spring Lineup: A Compilation Of Sub Pop's Heavy Hitters* read, "Embraced by the hardest rock enthusiasts and real favorites at the Viper Room, Plexi is L.A.'s freshest Noxema \[*sic*\] girl."

## Lipstick Glue: Early years

Plexi was said to have formed in 1993 when Michael Angelos, a former USC film student, met guitarist Michael Barragan in an L.A. bar and drummer Norm Block at a Taoist retreat. However, most of the band's inscrutable Sub Pop bio (i.e. a part about a Hasidic motorcycle gang) was fabricated for comedic value. In 1994, they recorded their first EP for the indie label Boys Life Records, run by alternative rock band Campfire Girls. As evidence of the band's dryly nonchalant humor, a 1995 magazine ad for the EP read, "If you buy only one album this year... Buy Nick Drake's *Five Leaves Left*." In a mere four days in January 1995, the band recorded a second EP. It was released by the Seattle label I.F.A., corresponding with a tour opening for Archers of Loaf. The EPs attracted attention from larger independent labels, culminating in their "discovery" by a friend of Sub Pop band Sunny Day Real Estate, Curtis W. Pitts. Plexi later claimed that "I.F.A." stood for either "I'll Fight Anyone" or "I'll Fuck Anything". Cats were prominently featured in the artwork for both EPs.

## Cheer Up: Album release

From December 1995 to January 1996, their first full-length album was recorded for Sub Pop. The brooding, film noir-esque album was given the ironic title *Cheer Up*. After much delay due to personnel shakeups within Sub Pop, the album was released in October 1996. Leadoff track/single "Forest Ranger" had strange pop-culture references and a singalong line of, "When I was looking at you, I didn't mind your foggy weather/ I just wonder what it's like to die." The album also featured reworkings of "Magnet" and "Peel" from the second EP. *Cheer Up* featured cello by Rasputina's Melora Creager on two tracks ("Ordinary Things" and "Star Star"). In an interview with Alternative Press magazine in Nov. 1996, Angelos professed his fandom of Aldous Huxley and David Bowie; upon being asked if Plexi's music might send the wrong message to suicidal listeners, Angelos laughed and responded, "Well, as long as *I* don't die..."

Plexi then toured with bands such as Bare Minimum, Zeke, Jack Off Jill and Ednaswap, and played at an ESPN X Games qualifying competition in New Orleans. *Cheer Up* was reissued on Atlantic in the summer of 1997 with a slightly remixed version of "Forest Ranger" and minor artwork variations. A video was shot for "Forest Ranger," directed by David Meyers, and received significant airplay on M2. Plexi were the opening act on a large tour with labelmates Sugar Ray and Smashmouth later that year. Dave Navarro was close friends with Barragan, even naming *Cheer Up* his favorite album of 1997 in a magazine poll.

## Caught Up: Amsterdamed & its aftermath

After embarking to Amsterdam, where they recorded a follow-up album in late 1998, the band dissolved. No official reason for the breakup was ever issued, though the band members remain friends. Angelos would later collaborate with Dave Navarro on the Joy Division tribute track "Day of the Lords" under the outfit name Honeymoon Stitch. There was some suggestion by Navarro the recording session was complicated by substance abuse issues and their vocalist's inability to stay conscious and standing. Rumors of heroin addiction, mostly connected to the band's look, have never been substantiated specifically. Plexi have since played one-off gigs in the L.A. area between 2002 and 2006. "Forest Ranger" was used in the movie *Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2* in 2000. Block drummed in Jack Off Jill for a while, then formed the Plexi-esque band Tape with future She Wants Revenge leader Justin Warfield. Block and Barragan had been featured in the touring band of Mark Lanegan for several years. Angelos has had roles in a few independent films, such as *When* (1999), and worked on recording a solo album in L.A. He currently lists his profession as music video producer.

# Poznań University of Economics and Business

The **Poznań University of Economics and Business** is a business school in Poland.

The Poznań University of Economics and Business (PUEB) is an academic institution in the western part of the country attracting students from many parts of Poland. It is the biggest and oldest business university in the region of Wielkopolska.

The main campus of the university is located in Poznań, but the university offers its courses also in seven other locations (colleges of higher education) situated within a distance of 30–100 km from Poznań (Bydgoszcz, Kalisz, Konin, Piła, Leszno, Zielona Góra, Szamotuły).

## History

The university's origin goes back to 1926, when the Foundation of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry founded the College of Commerce. As a private school, it had no authority to grant degrees. The school was given the authority in 1938 and, in the same year, was named the Academy of Commerce.

In 1950, there were 2026 students attending the Academy. In that year, the academy was taken over by the state and renamed the Higher School of Economics, initially with two faculties, then three. In 1954, the university ran uniform five-year courses leading to a master's degree.

In 1974, the school was named the Academy of Economics and was granted the authority to award the degrees of doctor and habilitated doctor (both of economic sciences).

In 1990, the Poznań Academy of Economics fundamentally restructured its faculties, courses, specialisations and curricula. While the years 1998–2000 witnessed a further growth in the number of students. Changes in syllabuses make it possible to aim at European educational standards in all major fields of training and specialisation.

On December 27, 2008, the school was formally granted the status of a university and given its current name – University of Economics in Poznań. Starting 1 October 2015 our University changed its name into Poznań University of Economics and Business.

## Offers

Presently, PUEB specialises in educating economists, managers and specialists in quality management in all sectors of the economy. It offers all academic degrees: Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctorate and Habilitation (mgr, dr, dr hab.) in three study modes (day, evening and extramural). The university expands its post-master programmes in order to meet the growing demand from those who are already professionally active. During the academic year 2000/2001, the university introduced the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) at the Faculty of Management, the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Commodity Science.

## Students

In the academic year 2014/2015, 10,159 students have enrolled, although, in the academic year 2010/2011, there were altogether app. 15,000 students enrolled.

## International students

For international students, the university has developed courses in English, French, German and Russian as well as Polish language course for beginners. The courses in foreign languages are also available for Polish students, who are thus given an opportunity to develop their language skills and prepare for studies abroad.

## Research

The main subjects of research range from various aspects of Poland's economic transformation to the preparation of Polish enterprises for competition within the European Union and the globalization trends in the world economy. Product and organisational innovations are those subjects of research which the Poznań University of Economics intends to develop further in close co-operation with Polish enterprises. PUE also focuses on international market research (primarily the EU, but also Central and East European countries) in order to facilitate the expansion of Poland's export trade.

## University ranking

In terms of enrolment as well as scientific and academic potential, the Poznań University of Economics ranks among the leading economic universities in Poland. Since 2000, the university has become second in rankings published by such Polish magazines as Polityka, Rzeczpospolita, Perspektywy, Magazyn Businessman and Newsweek Polska.

## Notable graduates

# Vermeule Mansion

The **Vermeule Mansion**, also known as the **Van Deventer–Brunson House**, is a historic house located at 614 Greenbrook Road in North Plainfield in Somerset County, New Jersey. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 27, 2004, for its significance in architecture from 1870 to 1911.

## History

In 1835, John Vermeule sold the farm property at this site to Jeremiah R. Van Deventer (1809–1889). This house was probably started c.1840, with a second building phase c.1870. Van Deventer's grandson, Augustus J. Brunson (1870–1963), inherited the property and made further renovations c.1911. The house shows both Second Empire and Colonial Revival architectural styles. It now serves as the **Vermeule Community Center** for North Plainfield.

Since 1985, the house has been used by **The Fleetwood Museum of Art and Photographica** to exhibit the camera collection of Benjamin Fleetwood and the oil paintings by his wife, Matilda Fleetwood.

title: Lomaphorus

# Lomaphorus

***Lomaphorus*** is a possibly dubious extinct genus of glyptodont that lived during the Pleistocene in eastern Argentina. Although many species have been referred, the genus itself is possibly dubious or synonymous with other glyptodonts like *Neoslerocalyptus* from the same region.

## Etymology

The genus name *Lomaphorus* is derived from the Greek roots *loma-* meaning "fringe" and *-phorus* meaning "bearing" after the striated anatomy of the dermal armor of *L. imperfectus*. In 1935, a Trematode was named *Lomaphorus* unwittingly, but it has since been moved to a new genus name, *Lomasoma.*

## Taxonomy

The first fossils referred to *Lomaphorus* were described as early as 1857 with the description of *Glyptodon elevatus* based on dorsal carapace osteoderms recovered from Pleistocene deposits in Argentina, but majority of the fossils were described by Argentine paleontologist Florentino Ameghino during the late 19th century. Several more species were referred to the genus that later were synonymized with more complete species or their own genera, Ameghino even admitting that many of his species were diagnosed based on very fine details that could be individual variation. Many species have been named as or referred to *Lomaphorus*, but most of these referrals or descriptions were erroneously based on taphonomic characteristics of fossilized osteoderms instead of genuine diagnostic features. Few species have received detailed descriptions either, further complicating the situation.

### Species

Type:

* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *imperfectus* (Gervais & Ameghino, 1880); Undesignated holotype, but Ameghino illustrated some material that may be the holotype that shows many similarities to *Neosclerocalyptus*. Possibly synonymous with *N. pseudornatus* or *N. ornatus*, but further analysis is necessary.

Species referred to *Lomaphorus* according to Zurita *et al* (2016):

* *Lomaphorus chapalmalensis* Ameghino, 1908; Holotype is a distal fragment of a caudal tube (MACN Pv 5806). The morphology of the tube is indistinguishable from that of fossils of *Eosclerocalyptus* and also juveniles of *Neoslerocalyptus,* making it a *nomen dubium*.
* *Lomaphorus cingulatus* Ameghino, 1889; Holotype is a single dorsal carapace osteoderm that has been lost, though a calcotype (MACN A-592) was created. This calcotype is indistinguishable from other *Lomaphorus* species', making it a *nomen dubium*. It could also be a synonym of *Trachycalyptus*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *compressus* Ameghino, 1882; Holotype is dorsal carapace osteoderms. The osteoderms' supposed diagnostic traits are the same as those in *Neoslerocalyptus* species, making it a *nomen dubium*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *elegans* (Burmeister, 1871); Holotype includes dorsal carapace osteoderms, though many fossils have been referred to the species.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Glyptodon*) *elevatus* (Nodot, 1857); Holotype is dorsal carapace osteoderms. The osteoderms' supposed diagnostic traits are the same as those in juveniles of *Neoslerocalyptus* species, making it a *nomen dubium*.

Other species referred to *Lomaphorus*:

* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *clarazianus* (Ameghino, 1889); Holotype is fragmentary osteoderms and a referred skull, though the skull is lost and has been referred to *Neoslerocalyptus*. The type osteoderms lack diagnostic traits, making it a *nomen dubium*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Glyptodon*) *gracilis* (Nodot, 1857); Holotype is fragmentary osteoderms from Brazil. The species was referred to *Lomaphorus* by Lydekker (1894).
* *Lomaphorus* (*Zaphilus*) *larranagai* (Ameghino, 1889); Holotype is dorsal carapace osteoderms (MACN 1233). The species was referred to *Lomaphorus* by Lydekker (1894), but has since been declared a *nomen dubium* and placed back in *Zaphilus*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *lydekkeri* (Ameghino, 1889); Holotype is a distal caudal tube fragment (BMNH 40664). The species has since been placed in its own genus, *Uruguayurus*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) "meyeri" (Lund, 1843); A *nomen nudum,* referred to *Lomaphorus* by Lydekker (1894).
* *Lomaphorus* (*Plohophorus*) *orientalis* (Ameghino, 1889); Holotype is a caudal tube fragment (MACN-A ?). The species was referred to *Lomaphorus* by Lydekker (1894), but has since been placed in *Pseudoplohophorus*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *paranensis* (Ameghino, 1883); Holotype is a breastplate fragment (MACN ?). The species was referred to *Lomaphorus* by Lydekker (1894), but has since been declared a *nomen dubium* and placed in *Neoslerocalyptus*.
* *Lomaphorus* (*Hoplophorus*) *pseudornatus* (Ameghino, 1889); Holotype is dorsal carapace osteoderms (MACN 1233). The species was referred to *Lomaphorus* by Lydekker (1894), but has since been placed in *Neoslerocalyptus*.
* *Lomaphorus*? *(Hoplophorus) scrobiculatus* Ameghino, 1889; Holotype is a dorsal carapace and caudal tube apparently in the collections of the MACN. The carapace was said by Ameghino (1895) to be from *Lomaphorus compressus* and the caudal tube to *Neoslcerocalyptus,* but it has since been declared a *species inquirenda*.

## Description

Due to problems with the diagnostics of *Lomaphorus* and its problems with its internal taxonomy, many of the diagnostic traits for the taxon are uncertain. *Lomaphorus*, like most of the glyptodons, was large at 2.5 meters long but not as large as its relative *Hoplophorus*. *Lomaphorus* possessed a powerful carapace that covered a large part of the body, formed by osteoderms melted together. The carapace was relatively low and long, but not as much as that of the *Neosclerocalyptus*. The dorsal plates brought a central figure of medium size, surrounded by a peripheral area of radial ornamentation. The tail was protected thanks to a series of bone rings and a terminal bone tube; The latter still retained a narrow peripheral band, and was equipped with large side osteoderms. At the end of the tube there were two great convex osteoderms.

title: The Mystery of the Sardine

abstract: The Mystery of the Sardine is a novel by Polish-English writer Stefan Themerson. Initially the novel was called Euclid was an Ass, named thus for a tract written on Euclidean geometry by one of the characters. The manuscript came to the attention of the Dutch publisher De Harmonie, which had taken over Themerson's own Gaberbocchus Press, through which he had published his and his wife Franciszka's work, on a small scale. In 1985 a Dutch translation by Carol Limonard was published by De Bezige Bij. Through a Dutch-speaking person with connections to the English publisher Faber and Faber, it became published in English in 1986; Faber and Faber subsequently released more of Themerson's writing, including his last, Hobson's Island (1988). The novel was republished by Dalkey Archive Press. A reviewer from Kirkus Reviews was less than impressed: "....a book whose best touch unfortunately is the title.... [It has] some political asides and some heavy-handed social comedy, and churn it very slowly into a stringy mass, and you have this book's sour-tasting fudge. Self-conscious to a fault but not even close to compelling". Justin Warshaw with the Times Literary Supplement noted that "the Mystery of the Sardine is never solved nor is it ever quite clear what it actually entails". In an appreciation of the Themersons published in 2015, Michael Caines noted that the TLS earlier praised the novel for its "many rum non sequiturs". American novelist Jonathan Lethem listed it as his summer reading in August 2015. In 2005, a movie by Dutch filmmaker Erik van Zuylen based on Themerson's novel was released. Variety praised the film's technical qualities, but noted that it was unlikely to gain much traction outside of the Netherlands: "A large black dog with a sardine can around his neck is the unlikely suicide bomber apparently directed against philosophy lecturer Tim, who loses both legs in the blast. Trying to make sense of it, Tim obsessively goes over the period leading up to the attack, but nothing adds up. The mystery deepens when his wife, Vera, discovers a freshly painted representation of the attack in a local church. Embellishing the plot are absurdist side characters, notably a disheveled man often seen walking backwards. Tech credits are unassailable".

Trying to make sense of it, Tim obsessively goes over the period leading up to the attack, but nothing adds up. The mystery deepens when his wife, Vera (Renee Fokker), discovers a freshly painted representation of the attack in a local church. Embellishing the plot are absurdist side characters, notably a disheveled man often seen walking backwards. Tech credits are unassailable".

# Post open source

Post Open (for Post Open Source) is a proposed successor to the Open Source software paradigm, originated by Bruce Perens, the creator of the Open Source Definition and co-founder of the Open Source Initiative. It is promoted at the web site PostOpen.org

**Post open source**, also called "post open-source software (POSS)", was a 2012/2013 noticed movement among software developers, in particular open-source software developers. The interpretation was that this was a reaction to the complex compliance requirements of the software license/permission culture, noticed by more code being posted into repositories without any license whatsoever, implying a disregard for the current license regimes, including copyleft as supporter of the current copyright system ("Copyright reform movement").

## History

"POSS" was first used by James Governor, founder of analyst firm RedMonk, who said *"younger devs today are about POSS – Post open-source software. fuck the license and governance, just commit to github."* According to Luis Villa, when even *"...the open license ecosystem assumes that sharing can't (or even shouldn't) happen without explicit permission in the form of licenses"*, developers vote their dissent through POSS. This was mostly ineffective, since the default in international copyright law is "all rights reserved", and some dedication to the public domain or license is necessary if the software is to be shared with the public without legal ambiguity.

## Precursor

In 2004 Daniel J. Bernstein pushed a similar idea with his License-free software, where he neither placed his software (qmail, djbdns, daemontools, and ucspi-tcp) into public domain nor released it with a software license. But, with end of 2007 he dedicated his software in the public domain with an explicit waiver statement.


title: Walter Fried

abstract: Walter Julius Fried was an American violinist and conductor. He served as both music director and as concertmaster of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra between 1911 and 1925 and was also one of Dallas's leading violin teachers during that period.

text:
# Walter Fried

**Walter Julius Fried** (August 18, 1877 – August 18, 1925) was an American violinist and conductor. He served as both music director and as concertmaster of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra between 1911 and 1925 and was also one of Dallas's leading violin teachers during that period.

## Early life and musical education

Fried was born in San Francisco, California, then moved with his family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he commenced violin studies. In 1907, Fried, having already served as head of the violin department of the Milwaukee College of Music for six years, traveled to Moscow for a year of study with Mikhail Press.

## Career

In 1908, Fried came to Dallas, Texas, where he established a violin-teaching studio. In 1910, he organized a semiprofessional orchestra, the Beethoven Symphony Orchestra, which performed several concerts in Dallas and nearby areas in 1911. During 1911, he renamed the orchestra the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, reviving the name used previously only by a semiprofessional ensemble conducted by Hans Kreissig that existed between 1900 and 1901. As the new DSO's ambitions increased, demanding a higher proportion of professional players, Fried collaborated with a colleague, Carl Venth, who had himself been organizing an orchestral ensemble, to merge the two organizations. The larger group retained the Dallas Symphony name, and, beginning late in 1911, Venth became the music director, with Fried serving as concertmaster. This group was active until 1914, when economic depression and World War I forced the orchestra to disband. In 1915, Fried was appointed as the head of the violin department at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, a position he would hold until his death. When the Dallas Symphony resumed operations in 1918, Fried was again music director. The orchestra played for six seasons. In 1924, Fried decreed a sabbatical year for the entire organization, which he felt would benefit from both artistic and administrative reorganization. Fried was preparing to resume performances with the Dallas Symphony in 1925 when he became seriously ill during a camping trip in Colorado.

Walter Fried died in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on his forty-eighth birthday.

## Personal

Fried was married to Gladys Wallace, who was herself a highly regarded professional violinist and teacher. Gladys Wallace Fried played violin in the Dallas Symphony, and also served as concertmaster during her husband's final six seasons as music director (19181924), and upon Walter's death she took over his position as professor of violin at Southern Methodist University. She was one of Dallas's most esteemed music teachers, and many of her students went on to professional careers in music.
