From our first breath, we are learners. The world around us shapes how we think, how we feel, and how we react. And as we add to our body of experiences – through work, play, and education – we further strengthen our status as ‘‘lifelong learners.’’

The Learning Enrichment Institute (LEI) is an opportunity for individuals 50 years of age and older to broaden their experiences through a schedule of short-term, non-credit courses that promote creativity, free thinking, and personal growth and development.

LEI combines the educational resources of Marion Technical College, The Ohio State University at Marion, other community organizations, and dozens of volunteers to offer two terms (fall and spring, each lasting approximately five to seven weeks) of programming that meet the diverse needs and interests of adults 50 and older.

LEI is a community service/outreach effort modeled after more than 600 successful ‘‘lifelong learning’’ programs across the country.

Course offerings and cost/registration information can be found on the next few pages. If you have additional questions, please call 740/725-6340.

80 percent do. In this class, we will examine how urbanization processes in the United States changed

throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. We will focus on residential and

commercial design and development, and how politics and economics

affected growth patterns. Topics will be illustrated with slides from the instructor’s

Warren G. Harding’s MarionOctober 19 • 10–11:30 AM Instructor: Sherry HallAs publisher of The Marion Daily Star, Warren G. Harding both shaped and reflected Marion’s growth. Harding said he “boomed” Marion, promoting new businesses and supporting anyone who had a positive idea for improvement—regardless of political party. He personally grieved when tragic events occurred and celebrated when the town took a step forward. Harding Home Presidential Site manager Sherry Hall, author of Warren G. Harding and The Marion Daily Star: How Newspapering Shaped a President, will offer insights gleaned by her research in the Harding Presidential Papers and in the pages of the Star. A graduate of Heidelberg University, Sherry Hall worked for newspapers throughout Ohio before arriving at the Harding Home. She has been site manager at the Harding Home Presidential Site for six years.

Designing Women: The American Arts and Crafts MovementOctober 26 • 10 AM–12 Noon Instructor: Dr. Margaret SumnerAt the turn of the 20th century, a group of Americans hoped to give their nation a “makeover” in both design and philosophy. In this class, we will learn about the Arts and Crafts Movement in America (1890s–1920s) and explore how its many promoters tried to use a progressive blend of feminism and socialism to redefine American values of beauty, workmanship, and community. Come see how furniture design sparked a social revolution!Dr. Margaret Sumner is an associate professor of early American history and women’s history at Ohio State Marion.

Engaged in Civil War: American Women in a Divided Nation November 2 • 10 AM–12 Noon Instructor: Dr. Margaret Sumner

By the 1860s, American public opinion assumed that women were naturally domestic, submissive to men, and indifferent to politics. In this class, we will explore how both northern and southern women upended such assumptions during the Civil War, becoming as deeply engaged as their menfolk in the public partisanship, battlefield trials, and home front demands

of this turbulent era of civil strife. So, were these wartime women acting unnaturally—or showing the true nature of women?Dr. Margaret Sumner is an associate professor of early American history and women’s history at Ohio State Marion.

The Cubs and the CandidateNovember 9 • 6:30–8 PM Instructor: Dave GorenfloAs part of Warren G. Harding’s front porch campaign, the Chicago Cubs played an exhibition game against the Kerrigan Taylors, a local team, on September 2, 1920, at Lincoln Park. This unique snapshot of Marion history will identify the players, both the locals who had the privilege of playing the major leaguers and the Cubs, including future Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander. We will also investigate Harding’s relationship with club owners Albert Lasker (also an advertising executive and architect of Harding’s campaign) and William Wrigley.

Marion native Dave Gorenflo is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. This presentation on “The Cubs and the Candidate” is based on the presentation he made before the Society’s national convention in Washington, D.C., in 1986.

TUESDAYS (continued)

Managing Bluebirds and Other Native BirdsOctober 6 • 2–4 PM Instructor: Richard M. TuttleWildlife managers—and those who want to help birds and other wildlife—must understand and meet the habitat needs of the creatures they want to benefit. So, we will begin at the beginning and look at the North American continent as it was in the 17th century, when the beaver was a keystone species upon which many other creatures depended. Before their effects were erased by European demand for their pelts, beavers created unique habitats for many animals, especially such birds as eastern bluebirds, wrens, kestrels, ospreys, wood ducks, and many others. We will also look at several modern techniques for managing some of those same species.

Richard M. (Dick) Tuttle is an active conservationist and retired science teacher. Since 1968, he has raised more than 46,000 native birds, and he presently oversees 382 nestboxes for bluebirds, tree swallows, and other birds.

Reformation Era, 1450–1650October 13, 20, 27 • 1–3 PM Instructor: Dr. Vladimir Steffel

Between the 15th and 17th centuries, western civilization experienced many rapid changes. During the Renaissance, Europeans began to focus on this world and to explore beyond the confines of their continent. The Roman Catholic Church was caught up in scandals and corruptions. Italian and northern

European princes struggled to become independent of papal influence. Churchmen questioned church practices and policies and were backed by their princes. These changes led to religious, political, and economic wars that transformed western Europe from a medieval to an early modern society.

Dr. Vladimir Steffel is a retired professor of world history, Russian civilization, and Critical Issues of the 20th Century World. His scholarship examines working-class environments with a focus on socio-economic issues.


(continued) TUESDAYS

High-Tech Exploration of Ohio’s Ancient Earthworks October 20 • 6:30–8 PM Instructor: Dr. Jarrod BurksOhio is a land of ancient earthworks—circles, squares, even octagons. Built by Native Americans, these massive earthen monuments are all around us, but most of us are unaware of them, because so many have been plowed flat. For the last fifteen years, Dr. Jarrod Burks has been using instruments such as magnetometers and ground-penetrating radar to bring these sites back to life. This course will explore some of the more exciting discoveries from places like Serpent Mound, the Hopewell Mound Group, and several other interesting locations.

Dr. Jarrod Burks is an archaeological geophysics expert at Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc., and president of the Heartland Earthworks Conservancy. He earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University.

Religion and the Civil WarNovember 3, 10, 17 • 10 AM–12 NoonInstructor: Dr. Richard ShielsAmerica’s Civil War tore the religious fabric of the nation as it divided the country in many other ways. In the North, the anti-slavery movement became a religious crusade, with such abolitionists as William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown reminiscent of Old Testament prophets. In the South, a religious rationale for slavery emerged in reaction to Northern abolitionism. The largest denominations, including Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists, remained divided for generations, as the “religion of the Lost Cause” lingered in the South. Religion in America has never been the same. In this class, we will consider Northern abolitionism, Southern defense of slavery, and the impact of the war on American religion.

Dr. Richard Shiels is an associate professor of history (emeritus) from Ohio State Newark. He specializes in American religious history.


TUESDAYS (continued)

Growing OrchidsNovember 10 • 2–3:30 PM Instructor: Dr. Chris FriesenPerhaps you were recently given an orchid (or two or three) and would like to keep it alive and get it to bloom again. In this class, we will look at the basics of orchid care, how orchids require different treatment than most houseplants, and what it takes to get a plant to flower again. In addition to the ubiquitous moth orchids (phalaenopsis), we will also take a look at some other kinds of less-common indoor orchids, including tropical slipper orchids (paphiopedilums), dancing ladies (oncidiums), dendrobiums, and cattleyas.

Dr. Chris Friesen is an avid grower of dozens of species of orchids and a member of two local orchid societies, the Mansfield Orchid Society and the Central Ohio Orchid Society (in Columbus). He is also an associate professor of mathematics at Ohio State Marion.

November 3 • 2–3:30 PMInstructor: Rev. J. David WorthenWithin the context of any dream, an important message is being conveyed. In dreams, our subconscious is seeking to call attention to various realities that are often ignored or avoided in our daily living. Learning to understand the content of our dreams can lead to insight, guidance, and healing. In seeking to gain a greater a p p r e c i a t i o n of dreams and their significance, we will look at different historical perspectives and va r ious aspects of dream analysis (oneiroscopy).

Rev. J. David Worthen became fascinated by dreams after a training workshop on understanding the powerful dynamics of one’s dreams. He devoted serious study to the topic and eventually utilized dream analysis in pastoral counseling.

Geology of Big Darby CreekOctober 28 • 1–3 PM Instructor: Scott BrockmanDesignated a “Last Great Place” by The Nature Conservancy and considered one of the “best in the Midwest,” Big Darby Creek is a lovely, clear stream with impressive biodiversity. The geology of the creek has been heavily influenced by the repeated glaciations that have left their mark in much of the rest of Ohio. So what makes Big Darby Creek exceptional? In this class, we will explore the geology of this area, discuss some of its special features,

and look at how the underlying geology of the creek shapes its special nature.

Scott Brockman retired from the Ohio Geological Survey after twenty-five years as a senior geologist. He has taught “Geology and the National Parks” for Ohio State Marion for the past ten years.

These composers—some familiar, some not so familiar—formed a group of musicians interested in producing a truly Russian style of music. We will also examine The Mighty Five of the 20th century, along with some other Russian composers who were not part of these groups but were important in their own right. Sessions will include music, piano performances, and musical highlights of the instructor’s past trip to Russia.
