I have some books especially an account of a conscientious objector which could be interesting. Haverford brand quakerism is unusual as well, and it could be fun to find out why. Class will mostly be discussion, led by questions from the class. This class is for non-Quakers and Quakers alike, anyone who has interest in talking about their experience and learning more about what ideals the college tries to follow. Thursday evenings 7 to 8.30, plus some field trips.
Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences.
It is also a field that although increasingly more popular in today's society, remains unknown to all but a small group of scientists. This course seeks to remedy this situation by giving the student a chance to explore the heavens and understand his or her place in the universe. We will explore astronomical ideas through discussion and lecture and utilize the college's observatory to both make observations and take photographs of heavenly objects.
