Old Main: A Trip Down Memory Lane, Martha Cloud Chapman Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Old Main: A Trip
Down Memory Lane explores the visual history of Wofford College through the
Main Building, known affectionately as Old Main. Referred to as “The College” for many years, Old Main remains
one of the nation’s outstanding examples of “Italianate” or “Tuscan Villa”
architecture. The cornerstone of
Old Main was laid with imposing Masonic rites on July 4, 1851. Construction finally began in the summer of 1852 under the
supervision of Ephraim Clayton of Asheville, NC. Skilled African American
carpenters executed uniquely beautiful woodwork, including a pulpit and pews
for the chapel. The exterior of the
building today is true to the original design, but the interior has been
modernized and renovated three times — in the early 1900s, in the 1960s, and in
2007. The selected archival and
photographic prints as well as works on paper provide an opportunity to take a
trip down memory lane to Wofford’s most famous landmark.

Wofford's Literary Societies, Sandor Teszler Library Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Sandor
Teszler Library Gallery features the legacy of Wofford’s literary societies. In August 1854, the first literary society was
created as a venue to practice skills such as debating, oratory, parliamentary
procedure and writing. Three more had been formed by 1920. During the college’s
first century, the societies were integral to student life – starting
libraries, building the college portrait collection and starting
three student publications.
Members
planned major
student events and provided
the ceremonial activities of the
annual
Commencement week.
While literary societies no
longer exist, their influence on the college
continues. This exhibit includes selected books,
ledgers, and other artifacts from the College’s archives and special
collections.

Energy Reduction Challenge
(Other)
|
Description: |
With the implementation of the online Energy and Sustainability dashboard displaying the College's sustainability initiatives, real-time energy usages, and graphics, Wofford will hold its first energy reduction challenge during the week of April 16th-22nd.
For this first ever challenge, students in 8 residence areas are encouraged to reduce energy usage. The eight residence areas included in the challenge this time are Marsh Hall, Carlisle Hall, Greene Hall, Shipp Hall, DuPre Hall, Wightman Hall, Lesesne Hall, and the student residence areas of the Michael S. Brown Village Center.
The baseline metering period will be the week following Spring Break, April 9-15 to set the standard usage in each residence area. The following week, from April 16-22, will be the challenge week when students should work to reduce electricity consumption. The conclusion of the challenge week is on Earth Day 2018! During the challenge week, ongoing consumption with percentage differences from the previous baseline week will be able to be seen on the homepage of the Wofford College Energy and Sustainability Storyboard (www.wofford.edu/energydashboard).
Calculations are updated hourly. Whichever residence area in the challenge has the greatest percentage decrease between the baseline and challenge weeks will be the winner. The residents of the winning area will receive a special Wofford College BPA free, recycleable plastic water bottle.

Amos N. Guiora: The Crime of Complicity, Leonard Auditorium
(multiple cals)
|
Description: |
If you are a bystander and witness a crime, should intervention to prevent that crime be a legal obligation? Or is moral responsibility enough?
Amos N. Guiora addresses these profound questions and the bystander-victim relationship from a deeply personal and legal perspective, focusing on the Holocaust and then exploring cases in contemporary society. He shares the experiences of his parents and grandparents during the Holocaust and examines sexual assault cases at Vanderbilt and Stanford and other crimes where bystanders chose not to intervene. Guiora recommends that we must make the obligation to intervene the law, and thus non-intervention a crime.
Amos N. Guiora is Professor of Law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, the University of Utah, and Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) in the Israel Defense Forces. He is actively involved in the effort to legislate Holocaust-Genocide education in Utah public schools. He is the author of several books, including Freedom from Religion: Rights and National Security (2009) and Tolerating Intolerance: The Price of Protecting Extremism (2014).

Exhibit: The South Carolina Coastal Lithograph Project by Jim Creal, Richardson Family Art Museum (upper level)
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))

Description: |
The
original mission of The South Carolina Coastal Lithograph Project
was to create a lasting body of lithographic work devoted to capturing the
mood, spirit and rich diversity of South Carolina's coastal habitats and some
of their extraordinary indigenous creatures. In this exhibit, Jim Creal augments the original project to include not
only the hand produced original lithographs as originally envisioned but also
adds his documentary site/habitat photographs to flush out telling the visual
story of our coast’s magnificent and increasingly endangered ecosystem. This project is his way of sharing
with audiences the visual story and magnificent beauty of South Carolina’s
coastal habitats, their combined significance
as a vital ecosystem under stress and their value as a national treasure that
needs to be preserved for future generations.

Tartuffe, directed by senior Theatre major Tristan Krebs! In this
timeless French comedy of manners, a wealthy patriarch is duped into opening

piety. Convincing his gullible host that his intentions are pure, Tartuffe

Fast-paced and full of surprises, Tartuffe is packed with sensational
plot twists, raucous humor, and incisive social commentary, which combine to
make this seventeenth century masterpiece a comedy for the ages!

Old Main: A Trip Down Memory Lane, Martha Cloud Chapman Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Old Main: A Trip
Down Memory Lane explores the visual history of Wofford College through the
Main Building, known affectionately as Old Main. Referred to as “The College” for many years, Old Main remains
one of the nation’s outstanding examples of “Italianate” or “Tuscan Villa”
architecture. The cornerstone of
Old Main was laid with imposing Masonic rites on July 4, 1851. Construction finally began in the summer of 1852 under the
supervision of Ephraim Clayton of Asheville, NC. Skilled African American
carpenters executed uniquely beautiful woodwork, including a pulpit and pews
for the chapel. The exterior of the
building today is true to the original design, but the interior has been
modernized and renovated three times — in the early 1900s, in the 1960s, and in
2007. The selected archival and
photographic prints as well as works on paper provide an opportunity to take a
trip down memory lane to Wofford’s most famous landmark.

Wofford's Literary Societies, Sandor Teszler Library Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Sandor
Teszler Library Gallery features the legacy of Wofford’s literary societies. In August 1854, the first literary society was
created as a venue to practice skills such as debating, oratory, parliamentary
procedure and writing. Three more had been formed by 1920. During the college’s
first century, the societies were integral to student life – starting
libraries, building the college portrait collection and starting
three student publications.
Members
planned major
student events and provided
the ceremonial activities of the
annual
Commencement week.
While literary societies no
longer exist, their influence on the college
continues. This exhibit includes selected books,
ledgers, and other artifacts from the College’s archives and special
collections.
