 Message from the Director
This is a relatively long newsletter, mainly because March is proving to be an incredible (and incredibly busy!) month for EUEC. We began with a reception celebrating the installation of EUEC art in the Schwartz Center and will end with a Lunch Colloquium by an internationally recognized scholar of Shakespeare from Oxford University (as Gretchen Schulz says, "the other Oxford"). There is no space here even to try to detail what is below, but I hope you will have time to read it, as it provides a great illustration of the vitality of EUEC. I want to comment on just one of our activities this month: the March 14 Lunch Colloquium. Our Lunch Colloquium organizers, Gretchen Schulz and Al Padwa, invited Will Ransom to organize a music program for us, as he has so magnificently done in previous years. It is of course always a special treat for us to get to hear some of the outstanding musicians here at Emory, but how is that a Lunch Colloquium? I thought the March 14 program was a perfect example of an EUEC Lunch Colloquium. Not only did we hear music, but we heard music written by an Emory composer for the group that played it, and moreover we heard the composer himself talk about the works and the creative process that led to the music. Richard Prior did an outstanding job of explaining what he does as a composer. Afterwards, someone commented to me that he must be a great teacher, and that is just an indication of how fortunate we are to be part of an institution like Emory. But what about the group that played--the Vega String Quartet? They are in residence at Emory, but what does it mean for a musical group to be in residence at a liberal arts university that does not have a conservatory and that turns out very few professional musicians? We also got to hear from the Vega musicians about what it is like to play music that is written for them by a composer who is not only alive, but at Emory. They spoke so articulately and passionately about the creative process from their point of view and how it was to work with the composer, that we had yet another view of the music we heard. What an incredible opportunity for all of us at Emory to learn from people who are not just outstanding musicians, but are so able to convey their passion and experience to others! I am very grateful to John Bugge, Herb Benario, and Gretchen Schulz for help with proofing and editing.

Volunteer Opportunity
We received the following from Mary Bower. This seems to be a great opportunity to help in research particularly relevant to seniors and earn a bit of spending money as well! I am a research nurse at Emory University's Hope Clinic. We are doing a study with the CDC on people 65yo and older. We need 1100 people in the metro Atlanta to volunteer to help. We would like to reach out to the Emeritus College and see if there are interested volunteers. The study involves gaining consent for each volunteer, reviewing a short list of inclusion criteria, getting a short health history (including pneumococcal vaccine history) and swabbing their nose and throat. Each volunteer will be given a $25 Kroger or Publix gift card as a token of appreciation.

2016 EUEC-OLLI Teaching Fellow Announced
It is a great pleasure to announce that EUEC Member Dorothy Fletcher has been awarded an EUEC-OLLI Teaching Fellowship. The award was for her new course, ALBRECHT DÜRER: Artist of the Northern Renaissance taught in the Winter 2016 session of OLLI. Below, she describes her experience in teaching this course:
ALBRECHT DÜRER: Artist of the Northern Renaissance
It was a joy to teach this course: forty class participants who were fully engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and offered astute observations. (A cell-phone rang only once in those eight sessions!) The teaching format was a combination of lecture and discussion, using PowerPoint for the images. The capstone to the course was a special viewing for class members of ten original Dürer prints at the Carlos Museum.
  I was inspired to apply for an "OLLI Teaching Fellowship," offered by the Emeritus College, because I had always wanted to teach a course about the life and art of Albrecht Dürer, and so was very pleased to receive this award.
Dürer was one of the most important Renaissance artists north of the Alps, whose work in the late 15th through the early 16th centuries is contemporary with that of the three well-known Italian "greats": Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo. While he is most famous for his exquisitely detailed woodcuts and engravings, I was eager to show his broader output: not only paintings, but also extraordinary drawings and watercolors, especially pure landscapes, remarkable self-portraits, lively letters and journals, and ambitious treatises. He was influenced by travels to Italy and the Netherlands, by the growth of humanism in both northern and southern Europe, and as eyewitness to the Protestant Reformation. Dürer was truly a "Renaissance man."
As a result of this course, I was asked by several participants to consider teaching some more courses in Northern Renaissance art history. This made it all worthwhile.

Lunch Colloquium March 28
"Playing Fair": Fairgrounds and Shakespeare
Tiffany Stern, Professor of Early Modern Drama, Oxford University, Beaverbrook and Bouverie Fellow and Tutor in English, University College
Tiffany Stern, a highly regarded specialist in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, will be here to help celebrate Emory's "Year of Shakespeare," with our Colloquium, one among a wealth of programs to be offered in response to our selection as the Georgia site for a visit of a First Folio from the collection of the Folger Library in Washington, D.C. (And many thanks to Sheila Cavanagh and colleagues from the University and beyond for proposing--and now implementing--the programs that resulted in Emory's selection for this honor.) There is no one who knows more than Tiffany does about the process by which a variety of written and enacted versions of the plays (and bits of the plays) finally yielded the Folio versions thereof--and she'll be addressing that subject at another event, scheduled for the day after her talk to us, an event to which we are also invited (4:00 Tuesday, in the Jones Room at the Library). But she is going to speak to us emeriti about the subject that tops her current research agenda, the popular entertainment found in the fairs of Shakespeare's time (as, for example, puppet shows and performing monkeys) and the relationship between that entertainment and the plays. Those of us who've heard Tiffany speak before (and though we are not legion, we are many) know what a treat this presentation will be. We look forward to seeing you there.
Other Events on CampusTiffany will give a lecture (to which we are all invited) on Tuesday, March 29 at 4 p.m. in the Jones Room on the creation of the First Folio and the impact of its publication. There are also several related library exhibits. For complete information on her Tuesday talk and the related exhibits, please click here. About Tiffany Stern:
I'm a Londoner by birth and attended local comprehensive schools in Finchley, North London (Moss Hall School, Hendon School), and Lewes, East Sussex (Priory School). My first degree, in English, is from Oxford (Merton College); my MPhil and PhD are from Cambridge (Emmanuel College). After a three year Junior Research Fellowship at Oxford (Merton College), I taught at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow before becoming a lecturer at Oxford Brookes (2001-5). I am now back at Oxford University as Professor of Early Modern Drama (English Faculty), and Beaverbrook and Bouverie Fellow and Tutor in English (University College).
I work on theatre history from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, book history and editing; I specialise in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, particularly Jonson, Brome, Middleton, and Nashe, and also write on seventeenth and eighteenth century playwrights and editors, including Wycherley, Farquhar, Sheridan, Theobald, and Johnson. Looking at the theatrical contexts that bring plays about - by Shakespeare and others - is a keen interest of mine. Having researched the theatrical documents put together by authors and others in the process of writing and learning a play, I am repeatedly drawn back to actors' parts, the documents consisting of cues and speeches from which actors learned their roles. I also write on prologues, epilogues, songs, letters, arguments, plots and other stage documents; acting methods; theatrical props; and playhouse architecture. Currently I am writing a section on Shakespeare and sixteenth to eighteenth century performance for the revised Riverside Shakespeare, and am completing articles on Shakespeare and Time, Newsletters and Buckingham, and Johnson and Malone as Shakespeare editors. As a general editor I am, with Brian Gibbons and William C. Carroll, responsible for the New Mermaids play series; I am also an Arden Advisory Editor - I will be a general editor of Arden Shakespeare series 4 - and am on the editorial board of the RSC Shakespeare, the Greenwood Shakespeare Encylopedia, the Queen's Men internet editions, and the journals Shakespeare Bulletin, SEDERI, The Hare and Shakespeare Quarterly. Future research includes a book on early modern theatre and popular entertainment, Playing Fair: Fairs and Drama in 16th-18th Century London, for Cambridge University Press, exploring the cultural exchanges between playhouses and fairgrounds, and a book on Shakespeare Beyond Performance, putting 'literary' publication in the context of other immediate responses to Shakespearean performance -- ballads, drolls, puppet shows, notes and commonplaces, 'noted' texts.

At the February 23 meeting, the University Senate passed a resolution in support of the Administration's efforts to preserve the exclusion of private institutions from the Campus Carry bill in the Georgia Legislature. University Senate members also heard reports from the Committee on Open Expression and the Student Government Association of Oxford College. In her remarks, Provost Sterk gave an update on the Oxford dean search. Four candidates had been invited to the Oxford campus the following week. Provost Sterk also commented on present discussions regarding the Emory undergraduate experience and its seeming fragmentation as students take different paths in the second two years. Finally, Senate members voted to approve a list of candidates to be added to the pool of possible honorary degree recipients.
The March 15 meeting of the University Faculty Council featured updates from the Healthy Emory campaign and the Emeritus College. For Council members who had not been present last year when Gray gave a complete report, I briefly outlined our who, what, where and why and highlighted some of our ongoing activities as well as future projects in the scholarly and creative domains. I mentioned our exploration of ways to use our considerable experience and talents to serve Emory and our association with other Emeritus organizations.
Faculty Counselor reports were presented by the Academic Affairs and Development Committees. There was an update from the Tenure and Promotion Advisory Committee, one of whose primary charges was the improvement of transparency in the process. In his remarks, President Wagner gave an update on issues before the Georgia Legislature that are of special interest to Emory, including Campus Carry, transportation, RIFRA, and a bill on the use of fetal tissue. He highlighted new Emory partnerships such as EmTech, a library facility with Georgia Tech located on the Briarcliff Campus, and possible partnerships with UGA on core research facilities and the University of Queensland on the development of medicines to combat insect-borne infectious diseases. Finally, President Wagner mentioned Emory's capital campaign, which is now in its "silent phase" awaiting the appointment of a new president.

EUEC Artists Exhibition and March 6 Reception
Many of the artists exhibiting their work in the Chace Lobby of the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts attended the reception and talked with the rest of us about their work. Here is a picture of many of them: Thanks to our intrepid photographer Dianne Becht (among many other functions!), you can see more photos of the reception by clicking here. Many of the artists also supplied bios and information about their art that Dianne compiled into a booklet available to reception guests. You can read that booklet by clicking here. As noted in Angelika Pohl's article, those of us who attended the March 14 Lunch Colloquium in the Chace Lobby listened to the Vega Quartet while surrounded by EUEC Art. A wonderful experience. If you haven't yet been able to visit the exhibition, we hope you will be able to drop by the Schwartz Center before April 4 to enjoy the talents of our members. Many thanks to the committee who organized the exhibit: Katherine Mitchell, Pat Miller, Dorothy Fletcher, and David Goldsmith. Also congratulations to Don O'Shea who won the Committee Award for his photographic entries!

Lunch Colloquium March 7
Deconstructing the SEC Primary
Andra Gillespie, Associate Professor of Political Science, Director, James Weldon Johnson Institute
An overflow crowd turned out to hear Professor Andra Gillespie analyze some trends in this year's presidential primaries, which may enter into the general election as well. Gillespie, who studies racial and ethnic politics in the US, came to Emory in 2005 after earning two MAs and her PhD from Yale. She directs Emory's James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference, is the author of The New Black Politician (2012), and makes regular appearances on NPR and elsewhere.
Her expertise was on display as she discussed this year's confounding presidential primaries, which are making political scientists re-examine established notions about voting, such as the median voter theorem. This is the idea that a majority-rule election selects the candidate preferred by the median voter. Of the two Democratic contenders, Hillary Clinton is positioned to benefit from this centralizing trend. Among the Republicans, however, the desire for "true" conservatives from some voters and Donald Trump's appeal to disaffected voters complicate a drive toward the center.
Gillespie also discussed racism in the primaries and in the last 30 years of American politics. She commented that political scientists underestimated the racist backlash that developed after Barack Obama's election. She briefly reviewed the Republican party's Southern Strategy, beginning with the Willie Horton ad created by Lee Atwater for George Bush's 1988 presidential campaign, and the development of "implicit priming" in political advertising to project support of racist views without directly expressing them.
To underline these issues, Gillespie showed a clip of an entertaining but pointed sketch from the Saturday Night Live broadcast of March 5 that lampooned the presidential contenders. It showed Hillary Clinton "rallying" her supporters with a paraphrase from an old Stealers Wheel song, "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and here you are stuck in the middle with me." Mitt Romney was portrayed speaking out against Donald Trump's racist and sexist messages (as Romney really did on March 3) by saying "we in the GOP...we do not say racist and sexist things - we imply them, subtly over decades and decades."
Turning to the general election, Gillespie cited three important indicators for success of a candidate, as determined by her Emory colleague Alan Abramowitz (who has spoken to EUEC): the approval rating of the current president, economic growth in the period before the election, and the desire for new blood - a factor that may weigh against Clinton's candidacy. We still lack much of the data needed for accurate predictions, she noted, but as a final comment, she expressed no doubt that entrenched racism continues to play a role in American politics. Gillespie ended by answering questions from an engaged and appreciative audience.

Lunch Colloquium March 14

Mid-Day Musical Delight Monday, March 14 . . . and what a delight it was! Gretchen Schulz, who works with Al Padwa scheduling programming for the Emeritus College, asked Will Ransom, renowned Emory pianist, to do a Lunch Colloquium for us, as he does so imaginatively every year. In the role of impresario extraordinaire he arranged access to the beautiful upstairs Chace Lobby of the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, which was so perfect in that our Emeritus College juried exhibition of art by members was on display there after the opening reception the Sunday before. Will himself could not be there - although he had even personally set up the chairs for us - because he attended the memorial service for Dr. Herb Karp, Emory professor emeritus and most generous supporter of the musical arts (see related article in this issue).  For our program, Will invited two musical treasures, the renowned Emory composer and symphony conductor Richard Prior and the stellar Emory string quartet-in-residence, the Vega Quartet, to perform and to enlighten us. Richard spoke to us about the process of composing, in particular about his first and second string quartets. We learned why Richard chose the titles for these works, "intimations of immortality" and "TRIPTYCH," and about some transformative events in his life that had triggered and inspired the second composition. But even more important, Richard gave a lucid explanation about his choice of unconventional musical modes, and about why he often went beyond the usual Western musical expectations to more challenging tonalities. His points took on a convincing clarity when the Vega played the first and second movements of his String Quartet No. 1 and the first and second movements of his Quartet No. 2, the latter having been dedicated to Will Ransom and the Vega. In between the quartets, Richard told us more about his approach to composing, and his comments came alive when the Vega would play an illustrative measure or phrase.   At the end of the program Richard and the Vega were generous in their responses to the many questions from the large and enthusiastic audience. Many of us wanted to learn how the composer works with performers of his work, asking whether he gains new ideas as he hears his work come alive from the notes on the page, whether he hears the music in his head before it is ever played, and similar questions. The audience appeared thoroughly engaged and pleased with this Colloquium. --Angelika Pohl As Angelika notes above, we were incredibly gifted with an outstanding program, at no charge to EUEC! If you would like to thank Will, Richard, and the Vega quartet in some tangible way for what they gave us, you can donate either to the Friends of Music, which supports various music activities at Emory, or to the endowment fund that Will is establishing to enable an ensemble like the Vega to remain at Emory in perpetuity.

Faculty Activities Anthony A. Gal
Professor Emeritus of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine EUEC Member Tony Gal on Sunday, March 13, presented a historical talk on lung cancer at the annual meeting of the U.S. Canadian Academy of Pathology for the History of Pathology Society in Seattle, WA. The talk was entitled: "Time Traveling to the Origins of Lung Cancer." The moderator who introduced Tony stated: Dr. Anthony Gal is recognized as one of the world's experts of pulmonary pathology. He is emeritus professor of pathology at Emory University where has been for 25 years. He has been involved in numerous clinicopathological and translational studies and has published more than 135 articles and book chapters, has served on many committees in the leading pathology societies and has given numerous scientific presentations throughout the world and has long been interested in the history of pathology.
Linda Pine
EUEC Member Linda Pine served as an invited judge for the 2016 Georgia Varsity Speech and Debate State Championships. The tournament was held March 4-6, 2016 at Northview High School in Johns Creek, GA. There were 33 schools from across the state represented, with approximately 300 students participating in this GFCA (Georgia Forensic Coaches Association) sanctioned event. In order to qualify for the State competition, a student must have placed either 1st or 2nd at a previous GFCA tournament sometime within the academic school year 2015-2016. There are six categories within the speech division - dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, impromptu speaking, original oratory, program of oral interpretation and duo performance. The debate categories include policy debate, public forum and Lincoln/Douglas. At the state tournament, each student participates in 5 rounds of presentations (being judged by 5 different judges and accumulating points as determined by GFCA standards). The top 12 students then proceed to semi-finals, and following that competition the top 6 move on to finals. It is a long, grueling process for the students (and judges).
This is the 7th year that a GFCA sponsored state speech/debate tournament has been held in Georgia. It does speak to the growth of speech and promotion of academic endeavors here within our state. Georgia now qualifies as a member of the National Forensic Coaches Association, and 20 high school students from Georgia will be traveling to Salt Lake City, Utah in June to represent Georgia in the National Speech and Debate Tournament.

EUEC Member Herbert Rubin Karp, 94, native to Atlanta, passed away peacefully Friday, March 11, 2016. The son of Sadie and Louis Karp, he graduated from Emory University Medical School before enjoying a successful career as a Neurologist and chair of Emory's Department of Neurology. In 1983, Dr. Karp became the inaugural medical director at the Wesley Woods Center, the nation's first geriatric hospital, and went on to work as associate medical director for the Georgia Medical Care Foundation from which he retired at the age of 90. Among his numerous achievements, Karp received the Thomas Jefferson Award, the highest honor given by Emory University to a faculty member, and the Emory Department of Neurology created the Herbert Karp Neuroscience Endowment to support excellence in teaching, research, and clinical care for generations to come. In addition to medicine, his great passion was music.
A member of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors for many years, he also founded the chamber music series at Ahavath Achim Synagogue, and was deeply involved with chamber music at Emory University. Active in the Jewish community, Dr. Karp served as president of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue where, for over three decades, he sounded the shofar at High Holidays. He was very proud of his decade's work on the board of Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasters for which he served as chair in 2005. Herbert is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Hazel; his daughters, Miriam and Beth (Richard Fischer); son Benjamin (Margie); grandchildren: Isabella Cantor, Simon and Marlee Fischer, and Jonathan and Aaron Karp. The family expresses their deep gratitude for the loving care of Gwendolyn Brown and Patricia Thompson. His funeral will be held 11:00 AM Monday (March 14) in the Ellman Chapel of Ahavath Achim Synagogue, with Rabbis Neil Sandler and Laurence Rosenthal officiating; burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Friends of Music, Office of Gift Records, Emory University, 1762 Clifton Rd. NE, Suite 1400, MS:0970-001-8AA, Atlanta, GA 30322-4001.
