Martin Luther King Jr. Day

The IU campuses observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 20, and events to commemorate Black History Month may be accessed at online campus events calendars throughout February.
James Mumford directed the African American Choral Ensemble in contemporary and traditional African American choral music as part of the celebration at the Buskirk Chumley Theatre in Bloomington.

A winter wonderland

The woods were lovely, dark and deep, last week near the arboretum in Bloomington, a winter scene mirrored on IU campuses throughout the state and reminiscent of Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” first published in 1923. Frost served as a poet-in-residence at IU Bloomington in April 1943 and inscribed a farewell in the Bryan House guest book using the final stanza of the poem, with the heading: Turning Homeward. Frost had promises to keep, and later that year, he received his fourth Pulitzer Prize.
