Encore Lectures
Encore Lectures are quickly becoming a tradition at
Homecoming. Current and emeriti faculty return to

Sprinkled in are presentations of recent student trips,
program presentations and student discussion panels.
Come join John Planer, Jim Adams, Carl Caldwell, David
Waas ’47, Richard Harshbarger ’56, Jeff Osborne, Ed
Miller ’56, Jeff Beer, Ryan Hedstrom ’00, Sree Majumder
and many more. Encore Lectures will happen at 1:10
p.m. and 2:10 p.m. in a variety of locations across
campus on Saturday, Oct. 14. The complete schedule,
along with topics, will be available online in September
and at the registration tent.
Since 1922, the University Chime has proclaimed the beginning of class, announced weddings
of former students and indicated the results of athletic events in a language that only the
Manchester community understood. Today, the tradition continues as the Chime plays
each morning to welcome the day and each evening to signal the time for quiet, study and
fellowship. Despite the fact that the bells can only play in the keys of F and C, there are over
100 secular songs and 150 hymns in the Chime repertoire. Listen for the Chime concert on
Saturday, Oct. 14 at 10:45 a.m.
