He is the author/co-author of seven books, including a biography of Hugo Preuß, a German constitutional scholar, theorist of political pluralism and “father” of the Weimar constitution, which won the Wolf Erich Kellner Prize for the best work on the history of liberalism in 2003.

NOTICE: Parking by permit will be available at designated parking lots near the class locations for all individuals registering for a full course. To obtain your parking pass, you must check the box on the registration form. Registrants for the morning course on the business of sports will receive a pass good for the parking lot on the southwest corner of the intersection of Ashland and Isabella streets, which is across the street from the N.U. Athletics Nicolet Center, where the course will be held. While registrants for the afternoon course on U.S. Presidents may request a parking pass for the two-tiered structure south of Norris, walking to the classes will be complicated this summer by major construction south of Norris Center. The open parking lot north of the two-tiered parking structure (where our handicapped students often park) will be inaccessible, and the Arts Circle driving loop will be fenced off. Students walking to Norris Center will need to climb the steps along the side of the theaters (There is a railing along these steps.), or can walk around the west side of the theater buildings and up the ramp along the north side of the Block Museum. Parking permits will be mailed to full-course registrants who have requested them, along with the class entry cards and the purple lecture schedule sheet giving updated course information, if the registration is mailed by May 26. Further information on the afternoon course locations and how students can most easily reach them will also be provided with that mailing and will be posted on our website.

Parking permits for those registering after May 23 will be available on the first day of class. For those registrants, we recommend arriving early for the first class to allow time to return to the car to install the parking permit. Cars without displayed parking permits may be ticketed. Per diem students will need to find alternative parking, either on the street or in the public parking garage east of Avenue between Clark and Church streets. 4 A. The Business of College Sports Lecturers from N.U. Athletics, the Big Ten, and sports media Thursdays, 9:30-11:30 a.m., June 21-July 26

Cheering for a favorite college team is a serious passion for many of us. But as college sports have drawn greater attention, pressure has also increased to make them operate more like businesses. What must a college do to keep current and competitive in sports, and when does it go too far? These and other challenges will be discussed by various representatives from N.U. sports, the Big Ten, and Chicago’s sports media.

Throughout the history of the , there have been 44 presidencies held by 43 individuals. Many are well-known, but what about the lesser known individuals who held this office? This course will take a close look at some of those Presidents who for one reason or another are mostly forgotten today. Some may not have been up to the task, but the story is more complicated for many others, who were cast aside despite great successes.

June 21 The American Presidency How has the role of the U.S. Presidency changed over time? What are the functions the framers had in mind? How does a President function in today’s media age, and as he deals with an increasingly uncooperative Congress? Is he the most powerful man on earth, an impotent adversary of Congress, or both?

June 28 Dying in Office (In Most Cases, Not a Good Career Move) We remember the deaths in office of Lincoln and Kennedy, but what of Presidents William Harrison, Zachary Taylor, James Garfield, and William McKinley? We will examine these four biographies.

July 5 Impending Disaster: The Presidency before the Civil War The pre-Civil War Presidents are probably the most often forgotten group. As the conflict grew more intense and the compromises became more complex, Presidents Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan proved incompetent to prevent disaster.

July 12 Forgotten Greatness: Some Presidents We Should Remember This lecture sheds light on Presidents cast aside by history and public memory, despite their undeniable contemporary successes. James K. Polk and Ulysses S. Grant arguably deserved a better historical fate. . July 19 The Gilded Age: Presidents and Robber Barons The late 19th century presidents, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, and Benjamin Harrison, were friends of the industrial titans who carved up America’s riches. In this lecture we will examine the political and social consequences of their leadership.

July 26 Asleep at the Wheel: Presidents Before the Great Depression After WWI, seemingly unlimited prosperity prevailed. How did Presidents Harding and Coolidge influence what followed? 6
