Wednesday Noon Series Resumes at the Johns Hopkins
University
The Johns Hopkins University Wednesday Noon Series will
resume on Feb. 1 with a talk by Stephanie Rice Davis entitled
"It Shouldn't Hurt To Be A Child". Davis, executive director of
the Child Abuse Prevention Center of Maryland, says that among
other factors "abuse can be related to the parent's unrealistic
expectations of what children of a certain age should be
doing."
The series is presented by the university's Office of
Special Events. All programs in the series are held at noon and,
with the exception of Feb. 22's concert in Shriver Hall, are in
the Garrett Room of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library on the
Homewood campus. Admission is free and open to the public.
Other February events in the series are:
- A lecture/demonstration on Feb. 8, "Mind Magic" with Bob
Fellows, magician and illusionist and director of the National
Wellness Speakers Bureau and author of the book, Easily
Fooled.
- A talk on Feb. 15 entitled, "Fashion Foundations," with
Vida Roberts, fashion editor of the Baltimore Sun.
- On Feb. 22, a performance by Zuill Bailey, cellist and
winner of the 1995 Yale Gordon Concerto Competition at the
Peabody Institute. This presentation, co-sponsored by the Peggy
and Yale Gordon Trust, will be held in Shriver Hall
Auditorium.
March events in the series will include:
- A dramatic performance, "Quilt Voices," on March 1,
relating some of the realities of mid-19th century women's lives
as transcribed from their diaries, letters, and other literature
found in the Maryland Historical Society's manuscript collection.
- An illustrated lecture, "Antarctica: Volcanos, Sand Dunes
and Warm Frozen Lakes," on March 8, with Bruce D. Marsh,
professor of earth and planetary sciences at Johns Hopkins
University.
