CAMPUS NORTH RESIDENTIAL COMMONS HARD HAT TOUR3–4 p.m.Smart Museum, Lobby, 5550 S. Greenwood Ave.Opening in fall 2016, Campus North Residential Commons will house 800 undergraduates. Designed by the renowned Chicago firm Studio Gang Architects, it will create a new entrance from Hyde Park into the north end of campus and feature on‑site retail, two large classrooms, and the Frank and Laura Baker Dining Commons. Because the residential commons is an active construction site, all tour participants must be 18 or older on the day of the tour and wear flat, hard‑sole, closed‑toe shoes. We also request that you refrain from taking photos during the tour. Required safety equipment (hard hat, gloves, vest, and protective eyewear) will be provided at the beginning of the tour. Late entry to and early departure from the tour will not be permitted. In addition, as an active construction site, Campus North is not yet universally accessible; however, it will be upon completion of construction in fall 2016. For more information about Campus North’s planned accommodations, please contact College Housing at [email protected].

THURSDAY JUNE 2MURDER MOST FOUL: HAMLET THROUGH THE AGES1–2 p.m.Ida Noyes Hall, Max Palevsky Cinema, 1212 E. 59th St.David Bevington, Phyllis Fay Horton Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, Department of English Language and LiteratureHamlet is a profoundly Christian young man. He knows that his religion counsels against suicide in all circumstances. The agony he experiences over his father’s apparent murder troubles him greatly in matters of faith: How is he to proceed with his father’s command to revenge the murder? Can the ghost he encounters be a demon masquerading as his dead father? How is he to act? The one blow he strikes in an attempt to kill his uncle turns out to have been a serious mistake. Is heaven at work in using him for its purposes? Where does he go from here? And how does his providential view of his choices and his eventual fate compare with that of his dearest friend, Horatio?

INTERSECTIONS2:30–3:00 p.m.Ida Noyes Hall, Max Palevsky Cinema, 1212 E. 59th St.Jessica Stockholder, Raymond W. and Martha Hilpert Gruner Distinguished Service Professor and Chair, Department of Visual ArtsJessica Stockholder will speak about her most recent work—which is installed at an intersection—and is also resonant with intersections metaphorically.

Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor, Department of History; Dean of the CollegeSince the presidency of William Rainey Harper, the University of Chicago has cultivated a powerful and distinct identity marked by intellectual rigor, merit, and free debate.

Bohlman, Ludwig Rosenberger Distinguished Service Professor, Department of Music; Associate Faculty, Divinity SchoolIs there such a thing as Jewish music? Few debates have troubled the performance and study of music more. The reasons to keep Jewish music out of the canon—and out of the core—were many until recent years. Drawing on his own teaching at the University of Chicago and on his work as the artistic director of the New Budapest Orpheum Society, the Grammy‑nominated ensemble in residence of the Humanities Division, Philip Bohlman will trace the ways Jewish music, in spite of itself, has made the core truly uncommon and exceptional.
