ART112 THE CHRISTMAS STORY IN ART Location: 2
Mathews Ct., Hilton Head Island Sessions: 1 •
NEW
12/9/2016 • Friday • 10:00 AM to 12:00 N
For nearly two thousand years, the Gospels have inspired the
faithful to depict the mystery of the “Word made flesh.” Each
generation endeavored not only to illustrate the Christmas
Story, but also to make the incarnation of Jesus both real and
relevant to their own day and age. No greater testimony
to this are the magnificent masterpieces of art that have
concretized the Old and New Testament references to the
advent and birth of the Christ as they also bridged the same
sacred scriptures to the prevalent traditions that anticipated
and celebrated the coming of the Messiah. Focusing on
scenes of the Nativity, Dr. Ciresi will explain how scripture,
history, and customs were woven together within the fabric
of society and indelibly manifested in the arts of Western
Europe that proclaimed the Christmas Story throughout the
ages. Instructor: LISA VICTORIA CIRESI received her
Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 2007 and was a Fulbright
scholar in Germany. She is Associate Professor of Art History
at USCB. Dr. Ciresi has given inspiring presentations for
OLLI and in the local community over the past few years.

The key to successful establishment and long-term
vitality of nursery stock involves many critical steps,
including good planting procedures, proper species
selection and planting the right tree in the right
place. Many stress and physiological disorders can
be traced to improper planting. Many tree planting methods
have been used for years, and while some of these methods
are still accepted today, continuous research has helped us find
better ways of increasing plant survivability after planting
and transplanting. This course will explore the most up-todate ways to plant a tree properly, and students will have the
opportunity to get hands-on experience while planting a
tree outside the classroom. Note: The second session of
this class will be held on the site of the planned OLLI
building, directions to which will be provided in the

NEW
In the years between the two world wars, transatlantic
travel by air became a reality. Alcock and Brown in 1919,
“Lucky Lindy” in 1927—both represent obvious benchmarks.
But, during these years, many thought that the future of
intercontinental air travel would not involve airplanes,
but rather giant lighter-than-air zeppelins. Such dreams
would never be realized, but the era of zeppelin travel is
an interesting footnote in the history of transportation.

HIS116 THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF LIGHT RAIL
TRANSIT Location: USCB Bluffton, Hargray 156
Sessions: 1 • 9/30/2016 • Friday • 1 to 2:30 PM NEW
There was once a day when the need for basic urban
transport was largely handled by electric-powered trolley
cars. But as cities expanded into the suburbs, as more and
more people could afford private automobiles, and as buses
proved to be more flexible, and less expensive, than the
trolley of old, it was thought that their distinctive “clang,
clang, clang” would soon be heard no more. Wonder of
wonders, though, a handful of American cities retained
their older trolley lines. Other cities came to realize than
an upgraded version of the trolley could help rejuvenate
downtown areas. This is the story of what urban planners
now call “light rail transit” ... the newest name for the oncehumble trolley car. Instructor: BRIAN CUDAHY, Ph.D.,

of philosophy at Boston College; another in the field of

War has long been a theme in poetry, from the work
of Homer to the present day. This class will examine this and
focus largely on the poet-soldiers of World War One. Some
are well-known. Virtually every English schoolboy learns
Wilfred Owen’s Dulce et Decorum Est. Some are not usually
associated with war. Rudyard Kipling is more remembered
for Kim and The Jungle Book than for Gethsemane and its
examination of the gas-sprayed battlefields of France. Others
are less well-known. But all reflect the horror of the “war
to end all wars.” Join us as we re-discover them together.
Instructor: JIM NICHOLSON is the Registrar for the
OLLI program at USCB and has long had an interest in the
relationship between war and poetry, with a focus on the

Oscar Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, brought
him immediate infamy and ultimate acclaim. The novel
traces the Faustian journey of its title character, who trades
his soul for undying youth and beauty. This is especially
relevant today, with Americans exploring countless ways of
staying young. Cinematic adaptations have sought to capture
the mystery, the danger, and undeniable attractiveness of
the title character. Two film versions will be shown. First,
Albert Lewin’s award winning 1945 production with Hurd
Hatfield and George Sanders. Then, Oliver Parker’s 2009
British film with Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. The class

rich, royal landowners pour every ounce of passion into
never-ending games of chess. At the same time, an ambitious

people eagerly looked forward to revisiting the
Mockingbird characters who are now twenty
years older: Atticus, Scout, Jem, Dill, Boo,
etc. Not surprisingly, over 1.1 million copies
of Watchman were sold the first week. But the response was
surprisingly mixed. This single-session course will explore

electronic gadgets. It was estimated that in 2012 the IC
industry, directly and indirectly, contributed almost $3
trillion to the global economy. Gordon Moore published
a paper in 1965 that predicted the complexity and cost
effectiveness of the IC would double each year for the
next ten years. After 50 years, with some adjustments,
Moore’s Law is still the basis for long range planning
for microelectronics. We will trace the evolution of
semiconductors from the first transistor to today’s powerful
ICs, and discuss how technologies, in ways that Gordon
Moore never foresaw, make the prediction continue to hold
true, for now. Instructor: ROBIN and BILL JORDAN

SCI110 WOLF TO DOG Location: USCB Bluffon,
Hargray 156 Sessions: 1 • 9/30/2016 • Friday • NEW
10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
It took 22,000 years for humans to tame and domesticate
the ancestral grey wolf into the numerous breeds of dogs
we have today. From archaeological sites around the world
to modern genetics laboratories, this class will trace what
we presently know. But we still do not have all the answers
to such questions as exactly where this relationship began.
Did it occur more than once in several places? How did the
relationship begin, with adult dogs or puppies? What were
the first dogs used for? Instructor: PAT GINDHART,
Ph.D., has taught many science classes for OLLI. She is a
retired professor of physical anthropology from American
University in Washington, D.C.
SCI111 DO ANIMALS HAVE SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE?
Location: USCB Bluffton, Hargray 156
Sessions: 1 • 11/2/2016 • Wednesday NEW
• 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM
Do pets have the same feelings as their owners,
e.g., does Fido feel shame when he gives his owner
that “guilty” look? Do animals care about one
another? Do animals co-operate to achieve goals?
Are animals self-aware? We will talk about recent
research exploring these issues among elephants,
bees, gorillas, dolphins, birds and pets like yours.
USCB.edu/OLLI
The class is structured to be extremely
participatory. Ted will facilitate class
discussion on animal intelligence,
empathy, self- awareness, etc. Prior
to the class all students will be emailed
and expected to read a short Scientific
American article to familiarize them with
the topic. So bring your observations,
thoughts, and voice and be ready to
discuss the social intelligence of animals.
Instructor: TED SOMMERS has a

Not a travelogue and not from a tourist’s point of view, this

course will relate how they coped with drying their clothes,
used “unique” kitchen appliances, shopped for and ate new

Let’s Build This Together!
With the steady growth of OLLI in
terms of members, programming and
membership needs, we have
significant challenges, with limited
space. USCB has graciously allowed
OLLI to use the largest classroom on
the Bluffton campus for the past 4
years. However, it is now too small to
meet the needs of our current
membership.
Benefits of the Building
CLASSROOMS
KITCHEN & CAFÉ – opportunity for cooking classes,
and access to food & beverage
PARKING – parking lot close to the building
GOLF CART PARKING – space speci cally for golf carts
BICYCLE PARKING – park your bicycle near the building
SOUND LOOP TECHNOLOGY – cutting edge sound ampli cation
OLLI 500
Join with hundreds of OLLI members and friends of
OLLI to build the new OLLI building on the Bluffton
campus. By making a tax-deductible pledge to OLLI,
you are helping us get closer to your facility breaking
ground! Pledge cards available in all OLLI offices or call
Andréa Sisino for more information 843-208-8249.
