    For Immediate Release

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, AND SPELMAN COLLEGE PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FOR LIMITED SPRING IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND CAMPUS RESIDENCY ATLANTA, Georgia, November 16, 2020– To allow students and their families the necessary time to prepare for the 2021 spring semester, the presidents of Clark Atlanta University (CAU), Morehouse College, and Spelman College today shared preliminary plans to begin spring courses on February 1, 2021. Reflecting awareness and anticipation of a fall spike in national COVID-19 cases, the plans include an adjusted academic calendar and a limited return to in-person instruction and campus residency for specific groups of students. These plans are subject to change based on public health information which is monitored on an ongoing basis. Each of the institutions will identify and invite cohorts of students to live and/or learn on campus while other students will continue virtual learning. Classes for the 2021 spring semester begin on Monday, February 1, 2021 for all CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman students. AUCC member institution Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), which follows a separate academic calendar, will continue in-person and hybrid instruction and has enhanced health and safety protocols. The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) will provide both in-person and virtual services for AUC students. After a fall semester of virtual instruction, each institution would ideally prefer to return all students to campus. However, by reducing the number of students on their campuses, CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman are best able to implement rigorous health and safety protocols designed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

    The Story of Miss Florence and the Lyme Art Colony the Story of Miss

    The Story of Miss Florence and the Lyme Art Colony The story of Miss Florence and the Lyme Art Colony begins in the village of Old Lyme, Connecticut, located where the Connecticut River flows lazily into Long Island Sound. Florence Ann Griswold was born on December 25, or Christmas Day, in 1850. She was the youngest of four children. Florence grew up in a big yellow house with green shutters on Lyme Street, the main street of the town, with her two sisters, Helen Adele and Louise Augusta, and one brother Robert Harper, Jr. Their father was Captain Robert Harper Griswold, a sea captain who sailed packet boats from New York to London. Their mother, Helen Powers Griswold, took care of the family when her father was away at sea for weeks at a time. At school, Florence developed a great talent for music. She learned to play the guitar, piano, and harp quite well. After one of his voyages to London, her father surprised her with a fancy golden harp. As she grew older, friends and family began to call her “Miss Florence.” After the Captain retired from the sea, the family began to suffer from lack of money. To help out, the mother and daughters opened up the Griswold Home School to teach young ladies. Sadly, her brother died years before from an illness he caught at sea. The Home School was open for 14 years. At the school, Miss Florence taught mostly music. She and her sisters never married nor had any children. By the time she celebrated her 50th birthday, Florence was the only family member living in the house.
