One reel-to-reel tape and two CD's, each recording portions of Ms. West's presentation. We as women are faced with too many choices, too many different roles we are asked to play and that we want to play.  The solution is to confront choices and make new societal structures as we go through changes in roles and life patterns that are inevitable for all of us.

Professor Colburn (Psychology), introduces Ms. West.

One reel-to-reel tape and a cassette tape.  The cassette tape is probably taken from the reel-to-reel.  In the first segment of the recording Dr. Virginia Mollenkott speaks on "Sexuality and the Formation of Family," 6 October 1980. She deals with the Biblical basis for male and female equality within the covenant community. 

The second part of the reel-to-reel tape starts abruptly in the middle of a presenetation by a speaker with a different voice making reference to health issues and safety standard regulations related to coal miners and workers laboring in conditions working with various levels of radiation.  This appears to be the introduction to a two day conference. The choir also sings at this opening and there is a worship service.   The date referred to on the tape is 1975.  The reel-to-reel tape was probably first used in 1975 for this service and then used to record Mollenkott.

1999 - 2000 Hawthorne Program

The Lilly Endowment funded Hawthorne Program was designed to help prepare African American and Hispanic students (grades 6-8) for college or other educational opportunities beyond high school. The Program's Mission follows:

To empower African American and Hispanic youth to tap their learning potential, increase their understanding of educational possibilities, and help them to envision themselves as future leaders.

The Summer Academic Enhancement Program was a two week residential experience held on the campus of Manchester College.  It was designed to enhance the students' skills in math, science, writing, reading and drama.  At the close of the two weeks, parents were invited on campus to spend the night and to attend the student-led closing program.  The summer session included a weekend visit to another college or university.

Two academic institutes were held during the school year, one in the fall and one in the spring.  Manchester College students hosted program participants for a weekend stay on campus.  The institutes provided the middle school students a firsthand understanding of life on a college campus and enhanced their skills in a specific subject area.

Monthly educational seminars were esigned to give support and information to parents and guardians about the program.  Discussions included how to prepare for and finance a college education.  The meetings were held in Fort Wayne and South Bend.

Tutorial sessions were provided during the school year and were offered weekdays by partner organizations.  Sessions were designed to assist students with homework and to improve study skills.

Social, cultural and educational activities were planned by the Outreach Coordinators and varied in focus to provide diverse social, cultural and educational experiences. These activities included bowling, a library tour, lectures, local college tours, community service and visits to museums.

• 1987 Ikenberry Seranade.
• 1989 Ikenberry Seranade.
• 1991 Ikenberry Seranade (formerly in photo box #1 and is part of MC2004/131-12). Picture in 1992 Aurora. Perhaps the last serenade before Ikenberry was torn down.
• Another photograph marked "Last Ikenberry Serenade, Aurora 1991-1992" (but not to be found in Aurora). One man can be found in this picture and  in the 1991 photo, but is wearing a different outfit. Other pictures are in the 1989, 1990 and 1991 Auroras...and so, maybe there was a special last performance of the Ikenberry Serenade?
• Other photographs have been added to this file but the names and years have not been recorded to date.

Material regarding L. D. Ikenberry [Levi Daniel] who between 1900 and 1943,taught mathematics, science, astronomy, pedagogy, geology, and served as treasurer, vice president, and acting president of Manchester College.  Ikenberry Hall was named in his honor.  He died on December 29, 1957.
