black
bart to return for 2002 boston
marathon Black
Bart might sound like a villain out of the Old West, but
he's a hero at Wellesley. As a longtime competitor in the
Boston Marathon, John Archer, also known as Black Bart,
never finished first. Instead, he chose to run in the
middle of the pack, supporting those around him. "Those
days are part of the greatest experiences I had over my
87 years," recalls Archer, whose running days came to an
end in 1985 when, while training for the Boston Marathon,
a hit-and-run accident resulted in major injuries. After
his recovery, he took up bike racing, only to be injured
again in a collision with a stolen car. Yet as this
year's Boston Marathon approaches on Monday, April 15,
Black Bart's enthusiasm only grows stronger for the
runners and those who cheer them on. Each year from his
home in Milwaukee, Black Bart sends a generous check to
the Munger House Council to help students buy oranges and
paper cups for the water they hand to the marathoners.
But this year holds a special treat. two wellesley students win watson fellowships Seniors
Diane Morgan and Lorena Ramirez have been awarded
prestigious Thomas J. Watson Fellowships to pursue
independent research projects while traveling outside the
United States for one year after graduation. They are two
of the 60 Watson fellows chosen for the honor this
year. President Diana Chapman Walsh has been named to the academic advisory committee of the new Asian University for Women (AUW). A joint venture of the government of Bangladesh and a group of international leaders in human rights, international development, business and academia, the AUW will educate 2000 students from countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Laos, where women's access to higher education is limited. "Stateless" and refugee women also will be enrolled. Slated to open in 2005 in Bangladesh, the AUW will have a liberal-arts curriculum emphasizing science education and leadership development. Serving with Walsh on the advisory committee are Alice Ilchman, president emeritus of Sarah Lawrence College, Henry Rosovsky, former dean of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Martha Nussbaum, professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago. triple helix presents beethoven concert This
year Wellesley's artists-in-residence, the award-winning
Triple Helix Piano Trio, have offered a series of three
concerts featuring all of Beethoven's piano trios. On
Wednesday, April 10, a lecture/recital, "Two Faces of
Iconoclasm in Beethoven's Op. 70 Trios," will be
presented at 12:30 pm in Jewett Auditorium. "The
two piano trios in Beethoven's Opus 70 give us a
marvelous opportunity to explore remarkably different
facets and strategies of his later, often problematically
personal style," said Triple Helix pianist Lois Shapiro.
"A look and listen at both of these extraordinary works
will enhance our understanding of an art redefined." On
Sunday, April 14, from 3:30-5:30 pm, a symposium of
Beethoven scholars will discuss "Summoning The Ghosts:
Beethoven's Op. 70 Piano Trios in Cultural Context" in
Jewett Auditorium. Participants include John Daverio of
Boston University, Lawrence Kramer of Fordham University,
Sanna Pederson of the University of Oklahoma and
moderator Janet Schmalfeldt of Tufts University. Triple
Helix will provide live musical examples and an
opportunity for interchange between scholars and
performers. At
7:30, the event moves to Houghton Memorial Chapel where
Triple Helix will offer "Beethoven and His Vibrant
Legacy, Concert III"with Trio No. 12 in B-flat, WoO. 39;
Trio No. 6 in E-flat, Op. 70, No. 2; and Trio No. 5 in D,
Op. 70, No. 1, The Ghost. "Beethoven's
music has the uncanny capacity to engage people in a
vivid, fresh way," Shapiro said. "It captures something
essential about the human spirit that cuts across
cultural lines. As a set, the trios give us a wonderful
opportunity to explore the evolution of Beethoven's
musical thought process from his youth to maturity." The
trio features violinist Bayla Keyes, co-chairman of the
String Department at Boston University; cellist Rhonda
Rider, who teaches cello and chamber music at Brandeis
University; and Shapiro, who teaches piano and chamber
music at Wellesley.

On Tuesday, April 9, Glimcher will speak about the experience in a lecture, "Adventures in Art: 40 Years at Pace." The lecture will begin at 5 pm in Collins Cinema and will be followed by a reception. Pace grew from a fledgling gallery on Boston's Newbury Street into PaceWildenstein, which has been called "one of the handful of most important American galleries over the past 40 years." The gallery has represented many of the most influential artists working in the second half of the 20th century, including Richard Avedon, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Jackson Pollack and Andy Warhol. Glimcher is the editor of Adventures in Art: 40 Years at Pace (2001) and the author of books on Jean Dubuffet and de Kooning. She is a member of the Davis Museum and Cultural Center's visiting committee, the Friends of Art national committee and the leadership gift committee for The Wellesley Campaign. She has made a number of significant gifts to the museum, including a Picasso drawing, a Nevelson painting and, most recently, a Deborah Butterfield sculpture.
