Although student life 116 years ago was very different from today (no Internet or cell phones for example), there are many aspects that haven't changed much at all (students still need to have fun and relax). 在这次演讲中, Linehan will discuss the different social and academic conditions at 蒙特中音 between 1908 and 2024.
7:30 p.m.11月11日星期一. 11: "Alaskan Summer," presented by Tom Reinsfelder, head librarian at 宾州州立大学蒙阿尔托分校. Tom Reinsfelder traveled to Alaska - where the sun never sets for part of the year. You will hear stories and see pictures from Fairbanks where the Midnight Sun Baseball game is an annual tradition dating back to 1906. Learn about Denali National Park where moose and bears roam free near the highest mountain in North America, and enjoy a few other stops along the Alaska Railroad, which stretches over 400 miles across the state.
