Greetings from the
Executive Director
I am absolutely thrilled to have the privilege
of being the new Executive Director of Main Line
School Night. For almost 75 years, MLSN has
provided a welcoming environment for adults to
continue learning and growing. This spring is no
exception! You will find a broad array of exciting
classes that will surely stimulate your minds, bodies,
and spirits.
In addition to our selection of ongoing classes, we
are pleased to offer some new ones that we do not
want you to miss. In our Phoebe Vernon Lecture,
Lynne Abraham presents My Life in Law – Things
My Mother Never Told Me. We have a first-time
collaboration with the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society focusing on spring gardening. And, our
Mini Medical School is back by popular demand.
On the front cover, I hope you noticed our new
logo, an update of our beloved wise owl, now
perched on the MLSN "tree of learning." As the tree
buds begin to open for spring, come explore creative
lifelong learning opportunities with us.
Additionally, this spring we’ll be conducting an
extensive survey regarding your thoughts about and
experiences with Main Line School Night. I hope you
will participate in this chance to impact our future
direction. Your voice is critical to inform our
continued growth and I look
forward to hearing from you.

intended to last for generations as family seats. They
didn’t, and most are gone. Follow some of the visual

19th-Century Philadelphia:
Architecture and Change
in the New Victorian City
Philadelphia was radically transformed between 1800
and 1900. It exploded in population and functions
were redistributed throughout the enlarged city. Much
of its growth on the map took the form of thousands
of new row houses built along expanding peripheries,
while the old core was completely recreated as an expansive new downtown and central business district.
In this illustrated lecture, explore this rebuilt city,
walking virtually through its new downtown streetscapes, and examining changing urban patterns and
component building forms such as row houses.
The Great Depression was a defining moment in the 20th century, affecting people of all social
and economic levels. Through discussion and videos,
explore how efforts of the Hoover and Roosevelt
administrations to deal with the crisis changed American forever. A debate still rages regarding whether
the shift to an economy increasingly regulated by
the federal government was the best course of action.
Judge for yourself as you view these events from
a contemporary perspective. Take our MLSN trip to
Hyde Park (p. 53) and immerse yourself in the history
of the era.

Shakespeare and the Law
Read at least three plays which, to one

know in these plays that there can be several normative systems by which any set of human acts can be
judged, and these systems may be in conflict. Wisdom
lies in being able to understand and manage the
choice between competing systems. The plays you’ll

acting
Any film buff knows that the history of
the Oscars is littered with incidences where the Academy “got it wrong” and some legendary pictures were
snubbed in favor of lesser movies (Ordinary People
beat Raging Bull in 1980 and How Green Was My V
alley beat Citizen Kane in 1941). In this class we’ll
take a closer look of some of these biggest oversights
and try to correct the past injustices through our

Contemporary Poetry Workshop:
Reading & Writing
In contemporary poetry, one finds a diverse range of
voices and styles, yet that diversity is created by only
a handful of elements: the rhythm, the line break and
the word. These elements become the tools that
shape poems into more effective pieces to be seen
and heard.
