2010 Great Books Series – Wednesdays, January 27 – March 24

7:00 – 9:00pm. In 1947, two educators at the University of Chicago, Robert Maynard Hutchins, president of the university and Professor Mortimer J. Adler, established the Great Books Foundation to draw together passionate readers to discuss enduring issues and ideas. Three years later, these gentlemen joined Walter Paepcke to form the Aspen Institute. Join us for this 8-week exploration of the readings from the Great Books. Reading list to be announced. Fee: $195 ($175 for donors).
