# Augustus C. Gurnee

Augustus Coe Gurnee (March 11, 1855 – July 6, 1926) was an American socialite and art patron during the Gilded Age.

## Early life

Gurnee was born on March 11, 1855, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the son of Mary (née Coe) Gurnee (1820–1893) and capitalist Walter Smith Gurnee (1813–1903), who served as Mayor Chicago from 1851 to 1853 and was the namesake of Gurnee, Illinois. Gurnee attended Harvard University and graduated with the class of 1878. Through his maternal uncle, Dr. Matthew Daniel Coe, he was a first cousin of Frantz Hunt Coe, the physician, public official and educator. Among his siblings was Delia E. Gurnee, Mary Evelyn Gurnee, Frances Medora Gurnee, Walter Scott Gurnee, Grace Gurnee, and Isabel Gurnee.
In 1863, the family moved to New York where his father engaged in banking and other businesses, serving as the treasurer and director of the Shelby Iron Company, the American Smelting and Refining Company, and the American Surety Company, among others.

## Society life

After graduating from Harvard, where he was a member of the Hasty Pudding Club, he briefly worked as a banker in New York. Gurnee was "free from the necessity of engaging in business" and, instead, spent his time "engrossed in the cultivation of the arts and spent much time in travel, living at intervals in Italy and France."
In 1892, Gurnee was included in Ward McAllister's "Four Hundred", purported to be an index of New York's best families, published in The New York Times. Conveniently, 400 was the number of people that could fit into Mrs. Astor's ballroom.

## Personal life

Gurnee had a home in Bar Harbor, Maine, Paris, and Nice, France. His home in Maine, known as Beaudesert, was originally designed by William Ralph Emerson in 1881, but was renovated for Gurnee in 1900 by architect Fred L. Savage, who also designed the nearby Breakwater, Reverie Cove, Raventhorp, and the Philler Cottage. In 1925, he donated his home in Nice, for the benefit of wounded soldiers, and a number of valuable works of art to the city of Paris, including twelve tapestries of Aubusson, Flanders, and Paris before the time of Gobelin. He was honored by France with the ribbon of the Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur.
Gurnee, who did not marry, died on July 6, 1926, in Baden-Baden, Germany, and was interred at the Gurnee Mausoleum at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. In his will, Gurnee left many large bequeaths to charity, including the Presbyterian Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital, the Nursery and Child's Hospital, and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, many trust funds for his relatives, and then left his residuary estate to Harvard. His secretary, Gustave Frederick Dutschke, who lived at 17 Avenue d'Iéna in Paris, received $300,000 in three and a half per cent Liberty bonds and $20,000 a year from the residuary estate.
# Aneroëstes

Aneroëstes (Greek Ἀνηροέστης) (died 225 BC) was one of the two leaders of the Gaesatae, a group of Gaulish mercenaries who lived in the Alps near the Rhône and fought against the Roman Republic in the Battle of Telamon of 225 BC. He and his colleague Concolitanus were hired by the Boii and Insubres in response to the Roman colonisation of the formerly Gallic region of Picenum. After some initial success in Etruria, when faced with the army of the consul Lucius Aemilius Papus, Aneroëstes persuaded the Gauls to withdraw, but they were cut off at Telamon (modern Talamone, Tuscany) by the other consul, Gaius Atilius Regulus, and forced to fight a pitched battle.
The Gaesatae fought at the front, naked apart from their weapons, but their small shields offered little protection against Roman javelins. The Gaesatae were forced back and their allies slaughtered. Colcolitanus was captured. Aneroëstes escaped with a small group of followers, who took their own lives.

# Università per Stranieri di Perugia

The Università per Stranieri di Perugia is an Italian university oriented towards study by foreign students of Italian language and culture. It was established by royal decree in 1925, and is housed in the Palazzo Gallenga Stuart [it] in Perugia, in Umbria in central Italy. In the academic year 2017–2018 it had a total of 944 undergraduate and 61 postgraduate students; of the undergraduates, approximately two thirds were women, and little more than one third were from outside Italy.
It is one of the three universities historically for foreign students in Italy, together with the Università per Stranieri di Siena, and Università per stranieri "Dante Alighieri" di Reggio Calabria.

## History

The university was established by royal decree in 1925.

### Controversy

In 2021, university officials were charged with helping footballer Luis Suárez to cheat on an Italian-language test.
In September 2020, Luis Suarez took a language exam at the University for Foreigners of Perugia to obtain Italian citizenship, which was linked to a potential transfer to Juventus. The exam raised suspicions of being fraudulent, leading to widespread media coverage and allegations that Juventus pressured the university to create a tailored exam session for Suarez.
An investigation ensued, and prosecutors initially accused Maria Turco, Juventus's lawyer, of being complicit in the alleged scheme. However, after nearly two years, the Perugia court cleared Turco of all charges, determining that Juventus did not interfere in the exam process.
Instead, the court found that university officials, including the former rector and other staff members, had falsified exam procedures to create a favorable environment for Suarez. This allowed the university to gain prestige from having a notable athlete as a student. As a result, the charges against Turco were dismissed, and the investigation ultimately confirmed that Juventus had no involvement in the fraudulent exam scheme. Despite the initial media frenzy, the acquittal received minimal attention in the press.

# USA-150

USA-150, also known as GPS IIR-4 and GPS SVN-51, is an American navigation satellite which forms part of the Global Positioning System. It was the fourth Block IIR GPS satellite to be launched, out of thirteen in the original configuration, and twenty one overall. It was built by Lockheed Martin, using the AS-4000 satellite bus.

## Launch

USA-150 was launched at 01:48:00 UTC on 11 May 2000, atop a Delta II carrier rocket, flight number D278, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration. The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 17A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and placed USA-150 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37FM apogee motor.

## Mission

By 11 June 2000, USA-150 was in an orbit with a perigee of 20,133 km (12,510 mi), an apogee of 20,234 km (12,573 mi), a period of 718.02 minutes, and 54.9° of inclination to the equator. It is used to broadcast the PRN 20 signal, and operates in slot 1 of plane E of the GPS constellation, having replaced USA-35, the first operational GPS satellite. The satellite has a mass of 2,032 kg (4,480 lb), and a design life of 10 years. As of 2012 it remains in service.
