# Karai Senryū

Karai Senryū (柄井 川柳, 1718 – October 30, 1790), whose real name is Karai Hachiemon (柄井 八右衛門) was a Japanese poet and poetry judge (tenja). He popularized a form of poetry similar to haiku called senryū, which is named after him. "Senryū" was the nickname that he adopted when he started judging poetry, and other poetry judges after him also adopted this name. The word senryū means "river willow" in Japanese.

## Biography

Hachiemon was a government official in the Asakusa district of Edo, a post that he inherited from his father.
Karai became the judge of Maekuzuke competitions (川柳評万句合, Senryūhyō Manku Awase) in Edo. The Maekuzuke was a popular style at the time which consisted of a participant adding their own verses to an already existing verse. Karai would judge these verses with a point system. And from there, he collected ten thousand of these poems each year, the best of which were distinguished and published. There is a monument for him at the location where he judged the first Maekuzuke in Japan. It has been said that Senryū judged over 2,300,000 verses in his lifetime.
In 1765, Senryū's disciple published an anthology of Senryū's selected haiku called Willow Barrel (Haifū yanagidaru, commonly known as just Yanagidaru in Japanese) that reflected Senryū's sense of humor and style. He later published several other anthologies throughout his lifetime that gained in popularity. During the Meiji era, this style of poems became known as senryū. The first 23 volumes of Willow Barrel were published while Senryū was alive. Overall, 167 volumes were published.
# Mark Lane tube station

Mark Lane is a disused station on the London Underground. It was served by the Circle and District lines.
In 1946 it was renamed Tower Hill. It was closed in 1967 and the present Tower Hill station was opened as its replacement, located on the same site as the Tower of London station that had closed in 1884.
It was named after Mark Lane, the street on which it is located, slightly west of the current Tower Hill station that replaced it in 1967.

## History

Mark Lane station was opened on 6 October 1884 to replace the short-lived Tower of London station, which was closed when the Metropolitan Railway and District Railway were connected to form the Circle line and a larger station was required.
The station was referred to in early plans as Trinity Square, and later named Seething Lane, but it was ultimately given the more recognisable name Mark Lane (the street on which London's Corn Exchanges were located). On 1 September 1946, the station was renamed Tower Hill.
The station was earmarked for closure due to overwhelming passenger numbers and little space available for expansion. It was closed on 4 February 1967 and the present Tower Hill station was opened as its replacement, located on the same site as the Tower of London station that had closed in 1884.
The underground section of Mark Lane station can still be seen between Monument and Tower Hill, though only one platform on the eastbound track now remains due to redevelopment of the track. The surface station, sited in Seething Lane, can be seen in the form of a pedestrian subway under the road converted from the old station overbridge, where large white grilles now cover the original stairways down to the platforms.
The offices above the station were called Mark Lane Station Buildings, and this sign can still be read above an entrance on Byward Street.

## In fiction

The disused station features in the 2017 novel Who Sent Clement by Keith A. Pearson as the fictional hiding place for a gold bar from the 1971 Baker Street robbery. The loot is made as a pay-off to a look-out from the robbery, a former ticket office manager of the then recently closed station.
# Granville Slack

George Granville Slack (11 July 1906 – 30 November 2003), known as Granville Slack, was a British judge and Liberal politician.

He was called to the bar at Gray's Inn in 1929. During World War II, Slack joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and wrote a number of books on the legal situation around war matters, such as liability for war damage and national service. He later worked with the Intelligence Branch of the Air Ministry.
Slack first stood for the Liberal Party at the 1945 general election, losing in Twickenham; he also stood unsuccessfully in Dewsbury in 1950. He served as Chairman of the London Liberal Party in 1947/8 and again from 1950 to 1953.
In 1967, Slack was appointed as a judge at Croydon County Court, transferring to Willesden in 1976, and retiring in 1981. In his spare time, he chaired a housing society, and was active in the Acton Baptist Church.

# George Pullen (priest)

George Arthur Pullen (died 18 May 1987) was Dean of Kimberley and Rector of St Cyprian's Cathedral, Kimberley, South Africa.

## Previous appointments

In 1944, Pullen joined the staff of the cathedral as a deacon, being ordained priest at St Cyprian's later that year.

### At St Alban’s

Pullen was priest-in-charge at St Alban's Church in De Beers, Kimberley, from 1952 to 1963. During this period he was made a Canon and also made Manager of the diocesan Perseverance School in Kimberley, taking charge of St Margaret's Hostel there in 1956. He also served at Floors in the nascent parish of St Barnabas, which had been brought into existence owing to the forced removal of people from the Malay Camp in terms of the apartheid Group Areas Act.

### Archdeacon of Bechuanaland

In 1960, Pullen was appointed Archdeacon of Bechuanaland, an area then including the southern half of modern Botswana, and served in parishes in Vryburg and Mafikeng.

## Dean of Kimberley

In 1965, Pullen was invited by Edward Crowther, Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman (who had been Dean of Kimberley 1964–1965), to become the Dean of Kimberley, and he was installed at St Cyprian's Cathedral on 8 March 1966.
This was a tumultuous time in the history of the church in relation to the tightening grip of apartheid legislation, leading to Crowther's deportation on 30 June 1967. Pullen acted as Vicar General until Philip Wheeldon, re-elected, was re-enthroned in 1968.
A significant project during Pullen's deanship was the commissioning and eventual erection and dedication, by Wheeldon on 15 January 1970, of a statue honouring Henrietta Stockdale. This was situated in the gardens of the cathedral. It was unveiled by three student nurses, one African, one Coloured, and one White. The Mother Superior and members of Community of St Michael and All Angels were in attendance.

## In retirement

After serving the Diocese of Kimberley and Kuruman for 32 years, and as an Honorary Canon of St Cyprian's from 1975 until his death, Pullen retired to Cape Town where he was appointed Rector of All Saints, Sonnebloem (formerly a part of District Six). He died in Cape Town.
# George Pullen Jackson

George Pullen Jackson (1874–1953) was an American educator and musicologist. He was a pioneer in the field of Southern (U.S.) hymnody. He was responsible for popularizing the term "white spirituals" to describe the "fasola" singing.

## Early life

George Pullen Jackson was born in 1874 in Monson, Maine. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1902. While in college, he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. He received a Bachelor of Philosophy in 1904 and a PhD in 1911 from the University of Chicago.

## Career

Jackson was an Assistant Professor of German at the University of South Dakota in the 1910s. By the 1930s, he had joined the faculty at his alma mater, Vanderbilt University. He was also a music critic for the Nashville Banner, and the president and manager of the Nashville Symphony Society.
Jackson argued that Tennesseans in the Antebellum South were "far more musically active" than after the war. He added that many people used to attend singing schools, and he blamed the lack of musical training on the radio, which discouraged people from learning to sing in the postbellum era.
Additionally, Jackson argued that Negro spirituals took their origin from poor whites who sang old folk songs from England.
During the 1940s, he studied the roots of anabaptist music (Amish and Mennonite). He proposed the now generally accepted view that the original tunes used in Der Ausbund hymnal were popular medieval melodies. Der Ausbund is still used by Amish groups and has the distinction of being the hymnal with a history of the longest continual use (1564 to the present; the latest edition being published in 1999).
