"Hallowed Grounds: A Tour of Ballparks Real and
Imagined"
Charles Camp, state folklorist at the Maryland Arts Council
and an academic with an eye for baseball's hidden truths, will
present an illustrated talk called "Hallowed Grounds: A Tour of
Ballparks Real and Imagined" at Johns Hopkins University on April
12.
This lecture is part of the Wednesday Noon Series presented
by the university's Office of Special Events. All programs in the
series are held at noon in the Garrett Room of the Milton S.
Eisenhower Library on the university's Homewood campus, at 3400
N. Charles Street in Baltimore. Admission is free.
Dr. Camp is a grants officer for the Maryland State Arts
Council and is responsible for the design and operation of
granting programs for arts organizations and individual artists.
He is also an instructor in the Johns Hopkins School of
Continuing Studies, where he teaches a popular course called
"Baseball and American Life: Close Readings and Close Calls." He
examines the symbols and signs that permeate America's favorite
game and furnishes interpretations that go unnoticed by the
average sports fan.
For information, call the Office of Special Events at (410)
516-7157.
