The Case Western Reserve University Share the Vision committee and the Office of Student Affairs are accepting proposals for fall SatCo (Saturday College) classes through October 3. SatCo offers students, faculty, staff and alumni the opportunity to teach-and take-courses just for the sake of intellectual stimulation, curiosity and fun. Past SatCo courses have ranged from ballroom dance to skydiving to the history of Black English, leadership, jogging, photography, film making, public speaking, field trips and more. Fall SatCo classes will be scheduled this fall for the weekends of November 1 and November 8. Classes can be on either Saturdays or Sundays. A SatCo course can be one class meeting or more than one session.

College of Arts and Sciences: Lectures to cover music and culture The Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities is sponsoring a new lecture series, called Music and Culture. The series begins with Lewis Lockwood, a research professor from Harvard University, who will discuss "Beethoven and His Royal Disciple," at 4 p.m. September 29 in room 206 of Clark Hall. A reception will follow. His talk will explore the mutually dependent nature of the relationship between Beethoven and Archduke Rudolph, the youngest brother of Emperor Franz I of Austria. In return for Rudolph's generosity and recognition, Beethoven became his composition teacher and dedicated more works to him than to anyone else. Lockwood is the author of Beethoven: The Music and the Life (New York: W.W. Norton, 2003), which was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in biography. He taught at Princeton from 1958 to 1980, at which time he joined Harvard, where he was named Fanny Peabody Professor of Music in 1985. He served asPresident of the American Musicological Society (AMS) from 1987-1988, Lockwood was named an honorary member of the society in 1993. He has won the Einstein and Kinkeldey awards from the AMS and received an Deems Taylor Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers for his book, Beethoven: Studies in the Creative Process (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1992). Lockwood earned a bachelor's degree from Queens College in New York, studying with Edward Lowinsky, and did his graduate work at Princeton University.
