This year’s speaker is former Ohio Wesleyan professor of History Ellen Arnold, Ph.D., now an associate professor of Premodern Environmental History at University of Stavanger in Norway.

Her presentation, “James Weber’s OWU Experience, 1868-1871,” is based on a series of 50 letters written by James Knox Polk Weber to his parents when he attended Ohio Wesleyan more than 150 years ago.

“By looking at this set of letters, we get glimpses of daily life at OWU in the period, see some of the challenges that faced young people finding their way in the world after the Civil War era, and see aspects of OWU’s scholarly past and its relationship with Delaware,” said Arnold, who taught at Ohio Wesleyan from 2010 through 2021.

The online event begins with a memorial tribute to Ezra Vogel, Ph.D., who grew up in Delaware and endowed the Vogel Lecture in honor of his parents. A retired Harvard University professor and renowned East Asia expert, Ezra Vogel died in December 2020.
