During the summer of 1919, a delegation under the leadership of Oberlin
College President Henry Churchill King and Chicago businessman Charles R.
Crane travelled to areas of the former Ottoman territories. Their mission
was to determine the wishes of the people of the region as their future was
being determined by the major powers at the Paris Peace Conference. The
King-Crane Commission, as it became known, met delegations and invited
written petitions from various religious and political groups. This digital
collection unifies the archival records of Commission members for the first
time. It also includes resources on conducting research in the

The Chinese pedagogical movie project, entitled Our Love Stories at Ohio
Wesleyan University, was filmed by the students from the Chinese Program to
promote students’ learning of Chinese language and culture. The students
applied what they had learned in class to write the scripts and were
strongly encouraged to let their creativity flow. They filmed the movies
under the direction of Professor Wu during the spring semester of 2011. The
project can serve as a resource to students of Chinese who are interested in
utilizing textbook vocabulary and sentence structures in different contexts.
The project is included as part of teaching materials for listening
comprehension in the Chinese Program. |
In 1977, a group of students and Dr. Bob Alrutz, a biology professor at
Denison, began an experiment. Their mission was to create an agriculturally
based self-reliant democratic community. The land would serve as the
experiment station; and they would test environmentally sound materials,
agricultural and living practices. Faculty and students worked together
doing research and building. Homesteaders initiated seminar projects with a
variety of teachers including Dr. Alrutz and Dr. Paul Bennett. The original
founders built three cabins to house twelve students, with the expectation
that those cabins would come down and new ones would be built about every
three to five years. |
