The Hebrew Bible is arguably the most influential work of all time - the most prized, and most studied, literary possession of Western civilization. And the Ten Commandments are often regarded as the jewels in the crown - the essential distillation of its profound message. Despite the many doctrinal and theological differences among the numerous denominations and religions which uphold the Judeo-Christian ethic, there is presently very little debate about the material content of the Decalogue. Its meaning and intent are generally considered to be self-evident; its teachings precise and unambiguous. But is this really the case? Do the many lessons we claim to derive from the Ten Commandments actually originate in this document? An unbiased, historically based analysis of the original manuscript yields some surprising, if not shocking, insights.

The Extended Cobb Family Enslaved Database presents new research from the T.R.R. Cobb House Museum about the enslaved people owned by Cobb and some family members. Museum staff has spent many years compiling information about these enslaved people, but more recently it has extended the research into those owned by T.R.R.'s siblings, in-laws, and prominent Athenians. Acquisition of an 1859 plantation logbook has facilitated the compilation of short biographies of the 808 enslaved people listed across seven plantations. This class will look at the newly-released database and the plantation logbook and discuss future research. Attendees will practice how to extract information from the logbook.

This presentation focuses on how international diplomacy decided the outcome of the first major naval battle of World War II. The German battleship Graf Spee limped into port in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1939, after attack by a British squadron in the South Atlantic. But the diplomatic maneuverings that followed ultimately decided the fate of the ship and her crew. This class will examine the Battle of the River Plate as a case study of the role of international goodwill in operational success.

Tennessee Williams is most known as a playwright and Paul Bowles as a novelist, but in earlier years they, as poet and composer respectively, collaborated on songs that are an exquisite part of the American art song repertoire. This presentation will discuss Williams' poems and Bowles' musical settings in what will surely be a fun discovery! Some prior music knowledge will be helpful but is not necessary.
