What is the role of self-interest and passion as opposed to civic virtue, statesmanship, and reason in the Federalist frame of government? To what extent is the new constitution founded on reflection and choice, to what extent on accident and force? What is the place of moderation in Publius's argument?

(photocopied reading packet) Tuesday, August 3 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Tucker (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: How Should Americans Live? Focus: A recent biography of Franklin is titled The First American. In what ways is Franklin the prototypical American? What episodes in the Autobiography reveal the American character, at least as Franklin embodied it? Does Franklin care more about equality or freedom? Are the human excellences that Franklin s life portrays the same as those that Jefferson and Hamilton praise or want to encourage in the United States? Does democracy promote these virtues or require them or both? If the ways of life promoted by Hamilton, Franklin and Jefferson are different, does one seem more in keeping with the principles of the Declaration of Independence? Does each require or encourage a different set of social and economic circumstances? Do Hamilton and Franklin place equal importance on equality and freedom? Benjamin Franklin, Autobiography Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Queries 14, 17, 18, 19 Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816 Alexander Hamilton, Report on Manufactures (excerpts, photocopied reading packet)

7 10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professor Tucker (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: The Power of Government and the Character of the People Focus: Do Adams and Jackson have the same view of how Americans should live? Do they have the same view of the role of government in our lives? Does either see a connection between the role of government and the kind of people Americans are or should become? Both appeal to the Constitution: Does either care about the Declaration of Independence or the idea that all men are created equal? Do they understand liberty or freedom in the same way? John Quincy Adams, Inaugural Address (excerpts, photocopied reading packet) John Quincy Adams, First Annual Message (excerpts, photocopied reading packet) Andrew Jackson, First Inaugural Address (excerpts, photocopied reading packet) Andrew Jackson, First Annual Message (excerpts, photocopied reading packet) 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Professor Tucker (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: Religion and American Character Focus: The temperance movement was a political manifestation of deeply held religious beliefs. Was the movement compatible with Washington s understanding of religious liberty? Is Lincoln a supporter of the temperance movement? Is the movement based on the idea that all men are equal or does it undermine this idea? What do you think Franklin would have made of the temperance movement? What are its virtues and vices in Lincoln s eyes? Can you speculate about any connections between Lincoln s views of the temperance movement and the views on labor that he expresses in his Address to the Agricultural Society? Do Lincoln s views on labor seem most compatible with Hamilton s or Jefferson s? Abraham Lincoln, Temperance Address (1842) Abraham Lincoln, Address before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society (1859) Edwin S. Gaustad, A Documentary History of Religion in America (excerpts)

8 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm: Film: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Wednesday, August 4 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Foster (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: Mark Twain and the American Character Focus: William Dean Howells once described Mark Twain as our literary Lincoln. Whatever that suggestive remark may mean, that Twain was a man of literature rather than of political action leads to our first question: what can his stories teach us about the American character? Or, to put it another way, how can social studies and history teachers use a work of fiction like Huckleberry Finn? We ll try to answer this question by considering several broad themes. (1) The first concerns how the main characters in the story are related to one another and to the society in which they live. What, for starters, are Huck and Jim and the people among whom they live like? More specifically, what are the main character traits, passions, and religious beliefs of Tom, Pap, the Widow, and Miss Watson? What do these people desire to get out of life and how do they see Huck and Jim fitting into their plans? Think also about the characters of Huck and Jim. How are they similar and different, and why do they get along so well? Why are they so dissatisfied with life in St. Petersburg and what does each expect to gain from running away? (2) Our second set of questions arises once Huck and Jim take to the raft: What is revealed about the two fugitives by the different ways in which they deal with criminals and the need to steal food? How is the moral dilemma of slavery raised in Huck s mind and how does he understand that dilemma? How is the relation between Huck and Jim changed by their adventures? Finally, how is life on the raft different from life in the communities along the shores of the river? (See also the beginning of the next session.) Reading: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, chapters :50 am -12:20 pm: Professor Foster (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: Mark Twain and the American Character Focus: Our second session will also focus on two sets of questions. (1) The first continues the previous session s examination of life on the raft. What do we learn about Huck s political opinions and passions from his debate with Jim over King Solomon? What is the right balance between nature and convention? What is Twain trying to convey by his presentation of the aristocrats who join the raft? Is political equality better or more natural than aristocracy? What do characters like Boggs, Colonel Sherburn, the Shepherdson and Grangerford families, and the Wilks girls teach us about the American character and the

9 communities along the river? What can we learn about Huck s approach to justice, lying, violence, law, love, and equality from the way he deals with these people? (2) Our second set of questions focuses on the ending of the novel. What are Huck s reasons for wanting to save Jim? Why does Tom Sawyer reappear and take the lead in freeing Jim and why do Huck and Jim play along with Tom s crazy schemes? Indeed, why does Twain spend so much time on the evasion of Jim? Finally, is the novel an anti-slavery tract? If so, what arguments does it suggest for equality or against slavery? According to the novel, what would it take for black and white to get along with one another? Reading: Huckleberry Finn, chapters 24-end 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Discussion: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm: Teaching Brainstorming Session (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Thursday, August 5 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professor Flannery (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: Henry Adams and Our Ancient Faith Focus: How do Motion and Change, the dynamo and the virgin, unity and multiplicity, help Adams account to himself for himself and account for the new American? The Education of Henry Adams, especially Editor's Preface, Preface, chs. 15, 25, 29, 31-35; Henry Adams, Prayer to the Virgin of Chartres.

10 10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professor Tucker (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: Religion, Progress and American Character Focus: In Flannery O Connor s short story, Revelation, does religion comfort Mrs. Turpin and support her view of the world? How is religion related to equality? Would Jefferson like the small town that Mrs. Turpin lives in? Would Franklin? Would either or both see Howard W. Kellog ( Kultur Applied Evolution ) as a possible political ally? Does Croly s interpretation of Jefferson and Hamilton seem accurate? Is his critique of American society and politics based on the idea that all men are created equal? Does Croly differ from other authors we have read in his appreciation of liberty or freedom? Do Croly and Kellog share the same view of man and of American character? Flannery O Connor, Revelation Edwin S. Gaustad, A Documentary History of Religion in America (excerpts) Herbert Croly, The Promise of American Life (excerpts) Howard W. Kellog, Kultur Applied Evolution 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Art of Teaching Seminar with Professor Schramm (Ashbrook Center, 8 th Floor, Library) 7:30 pm 9:00 pm: Guest Lecture with Robert Alt Topic: American Character, Being Human, and Our World Friday, August 6 9:00 am - 10:30 am: Professors Flannery and Tucker (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: American Character, Being Human, and Our World Focus: What are America's relations with the rest of the world in our time? How do American principles and the American character affect these relations and vice versa? How

11 are these relations affected by and what to they tell us about human nature, the human condition, and human history? Francis Fukuyama, The End of History? The National Interest, Summer, Samuel Huntington, "The Clash of Civilizations?" Foreign Affairs, Summer, Robert Kagan, "Power and Weakness: Why the United States and Europe See the World Differently," Policy Review no. 113, June & July (photocopied reading packet) Thomas G. West, "What Would Leo Strauss Say About American Foreign Policy?" The Claremont Review of Books, Summer, (To Be Distributed at Institute) 10:50 am - 12:20 pm: Professors Flannery and Tucker (Seminar Room, Founders Hall) Topic: Review of the Week and Open Questions 12:30 am - 2:00 pm: Boxed Lunch/Check Out of Apartments (Lobby of Apartment Building A)
