One for the Books: On Rhetoric, Community, and Memory ________________ Todd F. McDorman _______________ The 34th LaFollette Lecture October 10, 2013 _____________ www.wabash.edu/lafollette The Charles D. LaFollette Lecture Series One for the Books: On Rhetoric, Community, and Memory1 Todd F. McDorman PREFERRED CITATION McDorman, Todd F., “One for the Books: On Rhetoric, Community, and Memory.” The Charles D. LaFollette Lectures Series (2009): < http://www.wabash.edu/lafollette/mcdorman2013/> EXCERPT Classical liberal arts teaching and learning at its best is potent in helping us engage and interrogate the economies and ecologies of life-with-the-dead precisely because it serves as one of those few educational refuges, or haunts if you will, from the insistent pressures to reduce prudential teaching and learning to myopic, present-day utility, which in my mind equates with living alone and with no past. From classics to chemistry, music to mathematics, English to economics, the liberal arts bear witness to the enormous landscape of human experience and the potential for those who have passed on to continue to address vital present-day questions and truths, and, oh yes, to call us to account. __________ The LaFollette Lecture Series was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees to honor Charles D. LaFollette, their longtime colleague on the Board. The lecture is given each year by a Wabash College Faculty member who is charged to address the relation of his or her special discipline to the humanities broadly conceived. For more information, contact Dwight Watson, LaFollette Professor of Humanities, Professor of Theater, Wabash College, Crawfordsville, IN 47933. -
