Academy History
INTRODUCTION
The Academy was originally established at the University of Mississippi in 1974, under the full title of "The American Academy for the Promotion of Scientific Research. It remained a research student society for several years under the leadership of of noted concert Pianist Dr. Parks Grant.
Research Room 2
The EKG, Temperature and Stress Room is just up the hall from the Meditation facility.
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG, abbreviated from the German Elektrokardiogramm) is a graphic produced by an electrocardiograph, which records the electrical activity of the heart over time. Its name is made of different parts: electro, because it is related to electrical activity, cardio, Greek for heart, gram, a Greek root meaning "to write". The abbreviation "EKG" is preferred over the more straightforward "ECG" in oral communication, because the latter may be misheard as EEG. [Wikipedia]
Research Room I
The society has two large research rooms in which clients are evaluated. Research Lab. I is off from the chemical laboratory.
Laboratory I is for meditation tests, dream research and consulting. The walls to the room are sound proof and there is a control panel which controls sound and lighting as well as a choice of 20 various nature sounds including rain, ocean nature, trains, thunder and many others. The room is equiped with a Velocity Micro Rapture computer and numerous testing equipment.
This is also where our staff conducts tests using EMG and EEG research equipment. This information is helpful to the researchers running tests outside the office or in a distance setting. The facility and equipment is also available to rent by non-members.
Academy Library
The Academy is both an on-line entity and a traditional facility. Being so, we can offer our membership (active) over 10,000 book. Nine thousand books are on-line and are maintained on our Velocity Micro interface consisting of 12 desk-top computers and 10 external drives interacted to store over 50,000,000,000 bytes of information. The books, documents, original manuscripts (digital copies) are downloaded to member's computers. Academicians visiting the facility may make copies of our documents or check out books (on deposit). Many of our books are signed and first editions.
We also have the complete works of R.S. Clymer, Pascal Beverly Randolph and other occultist. Our science and religion collections are extensive.
Over 50 Books and Articles by and about Abraham I. Katsh
Born in Poland in 1906, Abraham Isaac Katsh was a revered scholar and pioneer in the field of Jewish Studies. His father, Rabbi Reuven Katz, served as Chief Rabbi of Petach Tikva, Israel from 1932-1964. In 1933 Katsh introduced at NYU the first course in Modern Hebrew to be taught in an American university. Katsh founded and then directed NYU's Department of Hebrew Culture and Education for 35 years and, in the 1950's and 1960's, during the cold war, Katsh was granted sole permission to examine and photograph precious Hebrew manuscripts held in the Antonin Genizah Collection in the Leningrad Library.
The highly unusual access he was given reflected his extensive web of relationships and his ability to negotiate the politics of the time. After several trips to the Soviet Union, he published a number of volumes of variances to the Talmud which previously had not come to light. The author of over 20 books and hundreds of articles, Katsh's publications ranged in topic from the influence of Judaism on Islam to the influence of the Bible on American democracy. In 1967 Katsh became President of Dropsie University in Philadelphia, the institution which had granted his Ph.D in 1945
