SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS

    Readings for each week's exercise will be posted shortly.  When you come to the first meeting, you will receive a copy of "The University of Pennsylvania: A Guide," by David B. Brownlee, 1985.

    Assignments will include (a) a brief paper on the campus then and now, based on what you discern in two large photographs displayed in Van
Pelt Library --- more will be revealed on 8 September --- and (b) an essay on some wonderful thing present in our world, something
small-scale, manageable and evocative, such as the University SEPTA Station, gargoyles guarding the Quad, or Solomon and Hillel.  Again, 8
September will reveal more about this assignment, which will involve your discerning what the object is, how it works (or maybe doesn't), how it
reflects its time of making and how it carries with it meanings far older than it is.

   There is no mid-term nor will there be a final examination, but your participation is required ---no, better, needed at ALL meetings.
