Hugh Pocock, a local artist, drilled a functioning well, titled Drilling a Well for Water (2003), in the sculpture gardens at the Baltimore Museum of Art for the exhibition, Work Ethic. Drilling a Well for Water (2003) was Pocock's third artistic drilling experience. His first, at the Portikus Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, took nearly three weeks of manual labor to fabricate, though much more time was put in to the overall design and research of the process. Pocock's artistic and functional well represents one of the nearly 80 objects, from contemporary artists, which make up the exhibition.

This chapter addresses historiography as a subject of study as this was undertaken by post‐war English intellectual historians. It undertakes a critical examination of the reception and dissemination of the studies of the German tradition of Historismus (historicism) as represented by the work of Friedrich Meinecke in the politically troubled 1930s and 1940s. It places both Meinecke and the English reception of his work in an immediately post‐war context, tracing how criticism of his methods only seriously emerged in England during the 1990s; different generations had reacted to Meinecke and his legacy according to their own experience of the 1930s and 1940s. This story is then placed comparatively alongside the rather different treatment of Meinecke made by predominantly Jewish émigré historians in the United States. The chapter argues that, with some exceptions, English intellectual history has tended to be insular in terms of its methods and approach, and that renewed acquaintance with German and American approaches to the study of intellectual history needs to be made by its English practitioners.

The truth is, the new refugee laws cater to a shadow side of our national character; a side that, not so long ago, refused entry to Jewish refugees flying from Nazi terror, imposed head taxes and other indignities on Chinese newcomers, and arranged for the first engagement of the Canadian navy in 1914 to be the repelling of a boatload of 400 East Indians from Vancouver, to the cheers of thousands on the docks. [Nancy Pocock]'s intervention has developed into a national network called Vigil. Vigil is not interested in protecting bogus claimants. But in carefully chosen cases, researched with Amnesty International and backed up by personal knowledge, telephone trees are activated, demonstrators appear at detention centres or immigration offices, messages arrive on the immigration minister's desk. Vigil members, as the name suggests, won't go away: they keep watch on a harsh no-appeal system which risks rejecting genuine refugees. The Vigil tradition is an old one in Canada; when terrified people huddle outside the house, what they need most is simply to be let in.
