YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio – February 3, 2011 – In response to the extensive interest in Antioch College’s reopening, the Board Pro Tempore, during an executive session at its January 2011 meeting, established the rights and responsibilities of the Horace Mann Fellowship, a competitive award package that will go to the select few students admitted as members of the college’s first class this fall. The Board also extended the deadline for nominations and applications to March 1, 2011.

Notifications to applicants who submitted their materials in time for the January 1 Early Decision deadline were mailed this week.

In addition to full-tuition scholarships for all four years, Horace Mann Fellows will have the opportunity to be mentored by the college’s alumni; will work with members of the College faculty and staff to design the infrastructure for a shared governance system; and will have a voice as advisors to the president, Mark Roosevelt, himself an education reformer, teacher and political activist. They will get real training in policy-making and in cooperating with people of different ages, who have different experiences and backgrounds from their own.

The fellowship gets its name from Antioch College’s first president, who, in his final address as president of the College, gave Antioch its enduring mission: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”

That mission defines who we are as an institution and makes Antioch College unlike any other college in America. With its rebirth, the College is revolutionizing its approach to undergraduate education. The curriculum emphasizes the study of language and culture — global connectedness.

Students spend six of their 15 quarters in a wide variety of full-time, paid work placements off campus. Historically, Antioch College students have worked at film studios in Los Angeles, in law firms in Chicago, at theaters in New York, at elementary schools in Florida, and other locations around the world.

Before they graduate, students will complete at least one extended international work assignment in a foreign country or within a cross-cultural setting in the U.S. The international co-op is a culmination of their extensive foreign language study and a series of Global Seminars on critical world issues.

The educational vision is uniquely suited to developing citizens with the skills, habits of mind and values necessary today and into the future. Antioch College students will adopt a global perspective, work to clarify their values, and develop the flexibility to adapt to frequent change.

YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio – January 27, 2011 – The Morgan Fellows of Antioch College are pleased to present Sidney Chafetz: A Life in Print, a retrospective of the work of the octogenarian, Columbus-based artist and printmaker, from January 29 to April 29 in the Herndon Gallery, South Hall, One Morgan Place.

Organized by the Columbus Museum of Art, this comprehensive exhibition features fifty of Chafetz's lithographs, woodcuts, and drawings from the 1940s through the twenty-first century, highlighting his witty and deeply humane sensibility and the major areas of his interest: politics, cultural icons, and the academy.

Some of Chafetz's pieces commemorate eminent writers and thinkers (Samuel Beckett, Gertrude Stein, Sigmund Freud), others satirize the foibles and empty platitudes of politicians and administrators. The chilling but informative Perpetrators series delineates the ordinary Nazi bureaucrats who executed the Third Reich's diabolic program. As energetic as ever, Chafetz's recent series, Legacy, takes aim at egregious abuses of political power in twenty-first century America.

Following his service in World War II, Chafetz earned his BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. He went on to study at L'Ecole Americaine des Beaux-Arts in Fountainbleau and L'Academie Julien in Paris, then received further training as a pupil of Ferdinand Leger and, a few years later, of the printmaker Stanley W. Hayter. From 1948 to 1982 Chafetz served on the faculty of the Department of Art at The Ohio State University.

Chafetz has exhibited his prints nationally and internationally since 1947, and has held more than one hundred one-man shows in galleries and museums all over the world. His work appears in permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cincinnati Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, The Florida Holocaust Museum, and the University of Minnesota Center for Genocide Studies, among many others. His innumerable awards and fellowships include two Fulbrights, a Ford Foundation Enrichment Grant, a MacDowell Colony Fellowship, and the Ohio Arts Council Governor's Award. Artist, master-teacher, social critic, and humanitarian, Sidney Chafetz has been recognized as a national and an Ohio treasure.

Daniel Bell, a noted sociologist, professor, and essayist, has died. Bell was on the Board of Advisors for the Antioch Review, and published some of his most acclaimed essays in the magazine.

“Daniel was not only an important contributor, he was an important advisor for the Antioch Review,” says Robert S. Fogarty, the magazine’s editor. “His advice and support helped sustain us and assured the Antioch Review’s commitment to excellence.”

Bell published five essays in the Antioch Review: “Crime as an American Way of Life” (1953), “Socialism: The Dream and the Reality” (1952), “Japanese Notebook” (1958), "Ethics and Evil: Frameworks for Twenty-First Century Culture" (2005), and most recently “The Reconstruction of Liberal Education: A Foundational Syllabus” (2011).

The New York Times said of him: “Mr. Bell’s output was prodigious and his range enormous. His major lines of inquiry included the failures of socialism in America, the exhaustion of modern culture and the transformation of capitalism from an industrial-based system to one built on consumerism.”

Two of Mr. Bell’s books, The End of Ideology (1960) and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (1978), were ranked among the 100 most influential books since World War II by The Times Literary Supplement in London.

Bell earned his B.S.S. from C.C.N.Y. in 1939 and his doctorate from Columbia University in 1960. From 1948-1958, he served as the labor editor for Fortune magazine, and from 1959-1969, he was a professor of sociology at Columbia. Bell then accepted a professorship at Harvard, where he became the Henry Ford II Professor of Sociology in 1980. He retired in 1990.

Bell’s works include Work and Its Discontent (1956), The Reforming of Education: The Columbia College Experience in Its National Setting (1966), Marxian Socialism in the United States (1967), The Coming of Post-Industrial Society (1973), The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (1976), and The Winding Passage: Essays and Sociological Journeys, 1960-1980 (1991). He edited The New American Right (1955, revised edition published in 1963 as The Radical Right), Towards the Year 2000: Work in Progress (1967), and Confrontation: The Student Rebellion and the Universities (1969, editor and contributor with Irving Kristol). Bell has also served on the editorial board of American Scholar, edited Daedalus, and co-edited Public Interest.
