CLEVELAND A typical day in Patricia Princehouse's seminar on "Darwin's View of Life" finds students engaged in animated discussions on a range of subjectsfrom what is the nature of science to what it means to be married to questions of whether humans are born with an innate sense of morals to do what is right.
The students meet in the Dittrick Medical History Center in the Allen Memorial Library just a few feet away from a valuable and important legacy of 179 letters written by naturalist Charles Darwin to his contemporaries.
Information from the letters provides a first-hand account of what Darwin was thinking and doing at the time he penned his famous theories on evolution and wrote On the Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871). As part of the experiential learning situation, Princehouse assigned each student a Darwin letter from the Dittrick's collection to study for a class presentation. Students transcribe and decipher the letters and post their findings to an electronic Blackboard site.
