Hewitt &#8211;<\/i> This is an update on our three-day photo shoot. Today, Wednesday, we&#8217;re back in classrooms again shooting professors and students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">In just a day and a half we&#8217;ve hit 30 Wabash classrooms. It&#8217;s interesting to note students seem to get a kick out of seeing the photographs. More than a few mentioned this morning they had come to the website and saw yesterday&#8217;s shots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">See shots from Wednesday&#8217;s effort <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wabash.edu\/photo_album\/home.cfm?photo_id=793&amp;photo_album_id=1070\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">Personally, it was fascinating this morning to listen to English Professor Marc Hudson&#8217;s passion as he broke down poetry for a morning class. It was fascinating and fun watching Classics Professor Jeremy Hartnett bring an ancient language alive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">Hartnett divided his morning Latin class into teams and was giving each team a chance to translate a Latin sentence. Their were high fives and an occasional hoot as the teams competed. Hartnett awarded the winners a package of cookies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">It&#8217;s a tired cliche to talk about making learning fun &#8211; but football players high-fiving each other after correctly translating Latin is fun!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\"><i>Tuesday &#8211; Howard W. Hewitt<\/i> &#8211; From time to time we need to update photos that we use in marketing materials for the College and for the College website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">We&#8217;re going to be spending a large part of this week ducking in and out of classrooms to shoot photos of Wabash professors and students in a classroom setting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/www2images\/Hawkins,-Chatt.jpg\" align=\"left\" \/>Director of Public Affairs Jim Amidon, Magazine Editor Steve Charles, and I, as web editor, will be visiting classes through Thursday. It&#8217;s not possible to get everyone in a three-day photo shoot, but if all goes well we&#8217;ll take pictures in more than 30 different classrooms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">One of the fun side benefits is getting to absorb a little of the classroom discussion while we&#8217;re quietly doing our jobs. For instance, I listened in to some fascinating student discussion during Professor David Hadley&#8217;s freshman tutorial on political cartoons. The students had some strong opinions about what was appropriate and what was not on newspaper editorial pages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">But the students&#8217; insight went beyond &#8216;political correctness.&quot; They also recognized economic pressures on a small newspaper might lead to different decisions on controversial cartoons than at a metropolitan newspaper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\">Good stuff!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wabash.edu\/photo_album\/home.cfm?photo_album_id=1068\" title=\"\">Here<\/a> is a photo album from our first day of shooting to give you an idea of what we&#8217;re doing. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wabash.edu\/photo_album\/home.cfm?photo_album_id=1069\" title=\"\">Here&#8217;s another set from Tuesday.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0\"><i>In photo above: Seniors Adam Hawkins and Allen Chatt lead discussion in Melissa Butler&#8217;s senior seminar in political science.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howard W.
