“A celebration of the life-enriching—indeed, indispensable—properties of the night . . . Strand delivers a significant amount of experiential melding to existential thoughtfulness in this book about the sublime and elemental powers of the dark. . . An exigent, affecting summons to rediscover the night.”—Kirkus Reviews

“This book is small in size and mighty in spirit. It is at once a clarion call and a meditation. Sonorous, deep, soul-stirring, and profoundly comforting, Waking Up to the Dark is a rare book that will be pressed from one hand to the next with the urgent, whispered words: You must read this.”—Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion

“In a modern world flooded with artificial light, Clark Strand reminds us what we have left behind in the dark. This beautiful, haunting meditation is filled with surprises and lost knowledge. Read it by candlelight—you will never forget it.”—Mitch Horowitz, author of Occult America and One Simple Idea

“In this exhilaratingly original work, Clark Strand shows us that the key to enlightenment lies where we don’t want to look. It is hidden in plain sight, but we have to turn the lights off to find it.”—Mark Epstein, M.D., author of Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart and The Trauma of Everyday Life

“Breathtaking and revolutionary, a small masterpiece for a world that has grown uncomfortable with the darkness and a poignant plea to take back the dark as the Hour of God, as the great friend of faith, awakening, and soul nourishment.”—Gail Straub, co-founder of Empowerment Institute and author of Returning to My Mother’s House

“Wonder, solitude, quiet, intimacy, the holy—darkness holds these treasures and more. If we want to connect with God, argues Strand in this wise and compassionate b

Arthur Holmes Applegate ’41

Arthur Holmes Applegate ’41, who practiced medicine in Ilion, NY, for 30 years, was born on January 2, 1919, in Deansboro, not far from College Hill. The son of Robert D., a contractor, and Julia Alnetta Calhoun Applegate, he grew up in Ilion, near Utica, and was graduated from Ilion High School. Art Applegate enrolled at Hamilton in 1937, joined Tau Kappa Epsilon, and sang in the Choir. Thinking of a future career in the classroom, he changed his mind following “the humbling experience” of practice teaching at Proctor High School in Utica.

Art Applegate, who left the Hill with his diploma in 1941, was working for Remington Arms in Ilion when called into military service in 1942. Assigned to the Army Air Corps and later the Infantry, he was selected, because of his “rudimentary ability in French and German acquired at Hamilton,” for the Army's Counterintelligence Corps. Attached to a military intelligence team in Europe, he served in France, Belgium, and Germany, and was awarded the Bronze Star. He was discharged as a technical sergeant at World War II's end in 1945.

With further study made possible by the G.I. Bill, Art Applegate decided on a career in medicine. He returned to College Hill to take premedical courses for 18 months until 1947, when he was admitted to the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. On June 25, 1949, while a medical student, he was married in Frankfort, NY, to Betty Jane Weed-en, sister of G. Roger Weeden, Jr. ’39 and Willis F. Weeden ’41.

After acquiring his M.D. degree in 1951, Art Applegate served his internship at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, TN, and his residency at Strong Memorial Hospital back in Rochester. His postgraduate training completed, he returned to Ilion and established his practice in partnership with Roger Weeden, his brother-in-law, in 1954. During their 30-year partnership, they had as patient

Neil Pitts, author of "Postmodernity and Creation of the Anthropocene"; We discuss how the Russian invasion of Ukraine will shape the evolution of global politics in the years to come. What is the role of the UN? How does climate change affect this evolution? After the discussion he explains, "what it was that I was really trying to say - and it's generally that the structure of geopolitics is holding us back in so many ways, including important issues like the environment, but only a change in the age itself is going to enable a new type of politics to appear - so, it would be a good idea for everyone to get onto this now, as it could otherwise take much longer for the climate change action we need to occur, along with a whole range of social issues. I don't really understand how people can shout in the street 'we want change, we want action' without really understanding what it is that is actually holding governments back. What is holding them back is the state of politics means it's like a turn-based board game, where one country moves forward a bit, then another will only take action if they take action, etc. We need to get into the frame of mind that it's a new human age, and we can do it, regardless of what everyone else is doing, because that's how people now behave in our present time. To move the world forward from the Postmodern/ Cold War mentality."
