At last year's inaugural Autumn Saturday we reflected
on our experience as students and faculty, past and present.
We made a commitment to continue exploring possibilities
for reconnection with the university and for expanding the
university community to include alumni, current students,
faculty and staff. We hope this year will provide an
opportunity for further exploration of our roles as members
of the university community, as well as an opportunity to
have our intellectual curiosity rekindled by discussion of
issues and ideas which are not regularly a part of our lives.
The participation fee for Autumn Saturday is $50/per
participant. It will include lunch and a dinner in the
Morehead Building with special entertainment. Those of us
who attended last year came away revitalized and warmed by
renewed ties with friends and the University. Members of
faculty/ staff willing to participate, call: 962-0249.

behalf of the Institute, its staff, and faculty fellows, and
indeed, on behalf of the faculty of the College itself, I am
delighted to acknowledge the magnificent gift from Mr. and
Mrs. Pardue. This is the Institute's first fully endowed

Conference For High School History
Teachers
The IAH and the UNC Department of History will
sponsor a conference entitled "How We Learn History: the

high schools, community colleges, colleges and
universities across the state of North Carolina. The
conference will feature discussions by journalists,
historians, and writers, on the ways in which history is

knowledge--about women, minorities, culture--can be
integrated into the teaching of history.

Humanities Council, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation,
and the College of Arts and Sciences. Conference organizers
include Professors Donald Reid, William Barney, and Lloyd
Kramer of the UNC Department of History and IAH
