“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way.

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

The lecture will be held in person on WashU’s West Campus in Clayton with the option to participate remotely via Zoom. This annual event is free and open to the public, but registration is required by August 28, 2026.

How did the American Presidency become what it is today and where is it heading?

During the lecture, Professor Kastor will tackle those and other questions in ways that connect the political history of the nation’s chief executive to the lived experience of average Americans.

This talk will explain the rise of the modern presidency in the 1960s, its influence on American politics for more than half a century, and how it appears to be coming to an end now. Dr. Kastor will explore the election of Donald Trump, the experiences and expectations of Americans across generations, and the everyday ways the presidency shapes life in the United States—from governing and elections to media, family, and public image.

A reception will follow this thought-provoking conversation.

Detailed instructions on parking and location, or a Zoom link, will be provided upon registration. A light reception will be provided for all in-person attendees following the program.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

Each student’s project is drawn from a process of critical research and creative engagement with archival materials. Exploring themes of self-expression, nature, and the metaphysical, this exhibition provides new interpretations of archival materials and repurposes the collection to inspire new research. Through analysis and response, students developed an ideation process using library materials within their sketchbooks. From there, they selected the material and subjects they were interested in and created their own artworks inspired by these pieces. They then organized individual exhibitions that present these works alongside the collection items to illustrate the potential of archival research within creative practice.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

“Kickstarter has absolutely ruined my bank account with all the deluxe versions and stretch goals. So given all that, I can’t call this a hobby. It’s a collection that dreams of making it to the table, and if being INSIDE a table is the closest this collection can get, I’ll take it.”

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

The wealth accumulated through his business success enabled Wulfing to engage in local philanthropy through Park Unity Church and to support German relief efforts and academic causes following World War I. His personal interests focused on archaeology and the classics.

Wulfing is best known for his ancient coin collection, which was donated in 1928 and forms the nucleus of the Wulfing Collection at Washington University in St. Louis. Less known is the substantial collection of Native American artifacts, Japanese tsuba (sword guards), and books that Wulfing collected until his death in 1929.

Wulfing added many objects to his collections during his travels across the United States, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. This exhibition highlights some of those travels and the items he acquired along the way. To Wulfing, these were not just objects, but lenses into past times and cultures that served as invaluable teaching aids.

“Like a lot of people, I grew up playing the classics with my friends and family – Hi Ho Cherry-o and Candyland as a young child, and, as an older kid, Monopoly, Life, and Trivial Pursuit. I’ll be honest, I hate a lot of those games now (too much luck and not enough strategy needed), but I still have a lot of the old beat-up boxes in my closet.

“In grad school, I stumbled into a group of friends that introduced me to the new wave of Eurogames and all their deeply convoluted rule books. It was love at first play. I’d call it a hobby, but even though adulthood has made it a lot harder to wrangle a group of friends together for board game night, I still keep buying games. I have over two hundred games now (over twice that if you count expansions), and I’m a sucker for a good component.

Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching.

George Orwell’s 1984 has been banned or challenged primarily due to its intense political themes, explicit sexual content, and perceived “pro-communist” or “anti-government” messaging.

Book club will begin with a presentation on banned books, followed by a discussion of 1984.

Free and open to all, registration required for Zoom link.
