will perform several times during the week and UofL’s Wind Ensemble will premiere a new work the composer wrote for the School of Music.

Composers Katarzyna Glowicka (Poland/Holland) and Henry Vega (US/Holland) also will be festival guests. They work primarily in electronic music. Besides taking part in nightly concerts, the artists will present master classes and lectures for students.

Concerts start at 8 p.m. and, unless noted otherwise, are in Comstock Concert Hall, School of Music. Admission is free and open to the public.

ASC also will honor 25-year volunteer , a former L&N public relations professional, for his work for being instrumental in bringing L&N records and materials to UofL and for his work with them since.

“All Aboard! A Celebration of the L&N Collections in Archives and Special Collections” will include photos, documents, employee magazines and ephemeral material, as well as static models of mid-20th century L&N equipment.

“The stories of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. are both large, as in its role in the development of the coal and mineral fields of Alabama and Eastern Kentucky, and small, as in the story of the rescue of Western Kentucky University basketball fans caught in a snowstorm on their way back to Bowling Green from a game in Lexington,” said Carrie Daniels, ASC director. “This exhibit features not only trains, rails, tunnels, tickets and travel brochures, but also the regular folks who breathed life into the system and kept it rolling.”

If lined up, the materials in ASC’s L&N collections would extend the length of a football field. The printed materials and hundreds of vintage prints and original glass negatives yield information as broad as the industrialization of the New South and as specific as the shape of an inner bolt on the wheel of a freight car.

Each year hundreds of researchers—historians, journalists, editors, museum curators, railroad enthusiasts, authors and students—comb through the minute books, financial records, annual reports, timetables, station lists, maps, architectural drawings and other items. The collections provide a comprehensive record of the transportation giant which positioned Louisville, Ky., at the center of north/south commerce in the decades following the Civil War.

Regular exhibit hours for “All Aboard!” are Monday ‒ Friday, 8 a.m. ‒ 5 p.m. There will be special Sunday hours Nov. 10, noon ‒ 5 p.m. The exhibit will close Feb. 7.

Her program will include Robert Schumann’s Variations on the Name “Abegg,” for piano in F major, Op. 1 and Symphonic Etudes, Op. 3; and Sergei Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 6 in A major, Op. 82.

UofL supporters Ruth Atkins and Luis Prada saw Rana’s performance at the Van Cliburn competition and worked with Naomi Oliphant, associate dean and piano professor, to bring her to campus.

“She (Rana) played with great passion, her personality engaging and exciting the audience, clearly deserving top awards both for��performance and response,” Prada said.

comes from a family of musicians. She made her concerto debut at the age of 9 and has played with symphonies and at festivals worldwide. Her performances consistently draw top reviews. Earlier this year, International Piano magazine named her “one to watch.”

A graduate of the Nino Rota Conservatory of Music, Rana now studies with Arie Vardi at the University of Music, Drama and Media in Hannover, Germany. Rana will give a master class Oct. 30, 4 p.m. ‒ 6 p.m. in Comstock Hall. It is free and open to the public.

That telegram and other documents related to Louisville and other parts of Kentucky are part of The King Center’s digital online archive, which was made possible by JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Technology for Social Good program.

The University of Louisville will host a traveling exhibit about the archive Oct. 21 through Oct. 25 in the east lobby of Ekstrom Library. Hours are 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., Oct. 21; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Oct. 22 through Oct. 24; and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Oct. 25. Admission is free and public.

The interactive exhibit showcases digital images of key documents from King’s correspondence, speeches and sermons.

“Documents such as these, whether originals or digital copies, are the voices of the past,” said Tracy K’Meyer, chair of UofL’s history department and a Civil Rights historian.��“They allow us to see historical events through the eyes of the participants and to have a glimpse of how people at the time experienced and understood segregation and the movement to overcome it.”

They also offer something transcriptions cannot, she continued.

“Often the originals are in handwriting, with margin notes, corrections, etc. Even if they are typed they demonstrate the older technology and mode of communication,” she explained.

“There is also the excitement of seeing a document that was actually in the hands of a figure from the past.”

Playing off King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, visitors also can write their dreams on a card and post them on the Dream Wall section of the exhibit. The cards later will be digitized and saved for posterity as part of .

UofL is the only Kentucky stop on the exhibit’s current schedule. The exhibit’s content dovetails with UofL’s new multi-year initiative, Project Progress. Starting later this month, the university will have special programming to look back and reflect on what was taking place in the Civil Rights Movement each year from 1963 to 1968 and then look at where society is now.

Over the last academic year, the work of 65 UofL faculty resulted in new or renewed U.S. patents, licenses and options. Their discoveries include the means to

• repair damaged heart tissue
• more easily identify cancer cells
• identify hazardous chemicals and explosives from trace amounts
• gain probable human injury data from crash-test dummies.

Making new discoveries, however, is only part of the university’s purpose.

“We not only learn new things, but we embrace as part of our mission getting that knowledge out where it actually helps people,” said Bill Pierce, executive vice president for research and innovation. “If we just discover new things and nothing comes from them, then nobody benefits from them.”

Seeking patents, licenses and options—each of which has a different part in the research and development process—is one way that UofL shares its discoveries. In simple terms, a patent is a government grant that gives an inventor the sole right to make, use and sell his or her invention for a set period of time; it protects the idea behind the invention. A license is an agreement between the patent holder and an outside party that allows the outside party to develop, distribute and sell an invention in the commercial market—provided it pays royalties to the patent holder on any profit it makes. An option��is an agreement whereby��a patent holder allows an outside party limited access to an invention for further development.

UofL holds the patents, licenses and options of its faculty’s work and pays as much as a 50 percent royalty to the faculty members who made the discoveries. “I believe that this is the most generous patent royalty policy of any university,” Pierce said.

It’s incentive to keep inventing, he explained.

“We want our inventors…to invent because that’s what they’re good at. It is every bit as valuable for them to turn (their inventions) over to a company (for further development) and go back to the laboratory and invent something else” as it is for them to fully develop their inventions, Pierce said.

Pierce, President James Ramsey and Provost Shirley Willihnganz recently recognized the faculty whose work resulted in new or renewed U.S. patents, licenses and options in the 2012 ‒ 2013 academic year. They are:

Ramsey spoke to about 400 people in Comstock Concert Hall at the School of Music. His address marked the end of a weeklong celebration that included, among other things, a faculty/staff appreciation picnic, awarding of faculty honors, a symposium on community engagement and dedication of a renovated quiet study area in Ekstrom Library—a project initiated by students and funded entirely by private monies. (.)

At the heart of his talk is the fact that higher education faces challenges and unknowns that have become the “norm.” They range from a changing marketplace for higher education, to changed perceptions and expectations of the purpose for higher education.

These are driving the university’s current 21st Century University initiative, but UofL has “long understood that for us to achieve our statutory mandate we could not be successful by merely doing what we have done in the past,” Ramsey said.

The university, for instance, implemented $114 million in cost efficiencies, made changes to its health care infrastructure that will allow it to provide the best health care to all within the community and, long before the recession of a few years ago, started to take control of its assets to ensure they are “fully performing” and are paying dividends, he said.

“We have planted the seedlings that will bear fruit—financial fruit—to the university in the years ahead,” Ramsey said.

Ramsey thanked faculty and staff for their work in setting the university on its current academic trajectory, noting that they have had only two recurring salary increases in the last six years, no departmental budget increases in over a decade and no new positions within departments. He also acknowledged that students have paid a price for the university’s success in increased tuition.

“But now we face the reality that there is more to do. More is expected of us,” Ramsey said.

In the coming months, the university will continue working on the 21st Century University initiative to position UofL for the future.

The work will include

• finalizing a plan for enhancing and enriching scholarship, teaching and research to include new and innovative collaborative and multidisciplinary concentrations that build on existing institutional strengths and identifying funding sources for them
• ensuring that UofL is globally engaged, accessible and student-centered
• addressing issues identified as threats and weaknesses in the campus-wide assessment of the university’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
• reviewing existing business practices with an eye to making fundamental, systemic change in many of the university’s business operations
• allocating resources strategically

The 21st Century University process, Ramsey said, is the “right thing to do” and “offers us the best hope for providing the resources that are critical to supporting your work….”

“Change will happen. We know the academy. We know what it values. We should be the ones that drive change, not federal bureaucrats and others from outside the academy,” he said.

“We can be successful in the future because we have a track record of success. Do not underestimate what you, you, the University of Louisville, have done and the power that we have as a campus community.”

It was, however, the answer then-Student Government Association President Justin Brandt gave President James Ramsey last fall when Ramsey asked how a donor could directly help students.

On Sept. 11, Ramsey, Brandt and others started State of the University day by honoring that donor, alumna Ann Bowling, and dedicating the fourth floor of Ekstrom Library as the Ann ’52 and Jim ’51 Bowling Quiet Study Area.

Since the 1981 opening of Ekstrom Library, the fourth floor had never been updated. It still had the original carpet, much of the original furniture and even furniture that came from the preceding library in Schneider Hall and dated to the 1950s, Ramsey told the group at the dedication.

Over the summer, and in accordance with SGA’s request, crews installed new carpet, study carrels, large and small study tables, chairs, lamps and electrical outlets.

Just a few weeks into the semester, students already appreciate the changes.

“The accessibility, comfort and usefulness of this newly renovated fourth floor is something that all students are noticing and many are already using even though we haven’t reached mid-term,” said current SGA President Carrie Mattingly, who worked on the project as part of Brandt’s administration.

The project was personal for Brandt.

“Ekstrom Library was my home away from home in my first years of college. I would come here to study, hang out with friends. This is where I came to love the University of Louisville. More often than not, I would find students playing territorial games for outlets and uncomfortably shifting in 1980s’ furniture. I felt that was a shame because this is one of the most-trafficked areas on campus,” he said.

“The campus library is the quintessential building where a lot of students go. It’s kind of the image of the university, as it should be, as a place of learning.”

“President Ramsey not only listened to us and said, ‘Oh, yeah. That’s a great idea.’ He went out and made a connection for us and made our goal a possibility,” Brandt said.

Bowling is an ongoing donor to University Libraries, noted libraries Dean Robert Fox, and the fact that she made her gift a challenge gift allowed others to support the renovation, too.

For Bowling, being able to directly benefit students was important, but, she said she is delighted with the connection to former English professor William F. Ekstrom.

“It gives me so much pleasure that it’s in the Ekstrom Library,” Bowling said. “I was fortunate to be a student here when Doc Ekstrom taught. We used to stand in line for hours and fight to get into his classes.”

That’s a good thing.

The artist, who also is the assistant director for UofL’s Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research, will display seven large, free-standing carved wood and cast iron sculptures in the east-wing lobby area of the library. “1000 Cuts” will run Sept. 23 through Dec. 5. Marsh will talk about his work Sept. 26 outside the library on the east entrance steps during a 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. reception.

“This exhibition is a really cool way to use the library,” Marsh said of the venue. “So many students, faculty and staff utilize this resource. The show allows them to interact with art in a high-traffic area of campus without having to specifically seek it out.”

Marsh has been carving wood—with a chain saw—since 2010. He uses only felled dead wood and recycles iron that he casts into carved wood molds. His work has been described as “disquieting,” an unsettling reflection of his boundless energy tempered by the chronic pain he lives with since suffering a severe back injury in 2002 while building the City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri.

A metal sculptor of more than 20 years, the injury caused Marsh to reinvent himself as an artist. He started the process by making small sculptures from household trash and casting them—with help from other artists— in iron. As he has gained strength, he has made larger artworks and adopted new processes and materials.

“Yeah, my injuries cause chronic pain and limit my mobility. However, I refuse to accept this as a curse,” Marsh said. “It hurts when I hold still just as much as when I work, so I go for it.

“Carving with chain saws is one way I adopted of making art that reflects the severity of my chronic pain while being incredibly fast,” he explained. “Art is about defining and overcoming obstacles that are mental, physical and material. Pain adds a pronounced and decisive dimension to that challenge that echoes through the work, but so does love, grief, happiness, outrage, etc. I use it all.”

The show is free and open to the public during regular .

To date, Marsh’s work has appeared in more than 250 group and solo exhibitions and collections throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. He makes sculpture at his home studio, Lucky 7 Arts, and is on the board of Josephine Sculpture Park in Frankfort, Ky.

Marsh has worked at UofL for eight years. At the , he is responsible for daily operations, public relations and communications and facilitating the center’s growth. Before taking the Conn Center post, he was a research grant coordinator at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center.

The day’s programming provides ways for students and others to get involved in the community, shows them that individuals can make a difference and lets them know that peace not only is about stopping war and violence, but also is about doing positive acts, said Russell Vandenbroucke, director of the undergraduate certificate program in Peace, Justice and Conflict Transformation.

Along with a day filled with free hugs and random acts of kindness, UofL’s PeaceDay programming includes a drumming circle, volunteer fair, documentary film showings and a local band concert designed to inspire peace.

Here’s the schedule:

• Cards in the Community Service Fair

11:30 a.m., West Plaza, outside the Red Barn. Some 60 organizations will provide volunteer information. The fair starts with a drum circle.

All day, inside the Red Barn.

The United Nations has celebrated the International Day of Peace since the 1980s and officially sanctioned it in 2001. UofL’s celebration is jointly produced by the Peace, Justice and Conflict Transformation undergraduate certificate program and the Student Activities Board.

Archives and Special Collections has dipped into its collection and exhibited more than 20 volumes of the 35-volume first folio edition to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the birth of Denis Diderot, French thinker and principal “Encyclopédie” compiler and editor.

The exhibit will run through Oct.22 in the Kain Rare Books Gallery, lower level, Ekstrom Library.

As a leader of the French Enlightenment, Diderot was a proponent of the idea that freedom comes from a person’s ability to think for him or herself. “Encyclopédie” was his attempt to record all existing knowledge toward that end.

The monumental work reflected the excitement that people felt during the 18th century as “they celebrated human intellect, rationality and achievement,” said Rare Books Curator Delinda Buie. Before this time, she explained, people attributed everything to the grace of God.

In conjunction with the exhibit, ASC will bring together UofL faculty from several disciplines for a celebration of Diderot Oct. 4 starting at 1 p.m. Here’s the schedule:

• 1 p.m. “High above this vast labyrinth”: the ‘Encyclopédie’��at a glance.
  An illustrated talk by Glynis Ridley, professor and chair, English, Collaborative Learning Center (CLC), Room 117A, Ekstrom Library
• 2 p.m. Coffee and birthday cake, lower level lobby adjoining Kain and Pennington Galleries, Ekstrom Library
• 3 p.m. ‘Encyclopédie’: a colloquium, CLC, Room 117A, Ekstrom Library:
• “The Swiss influence and contributions to ‘Encyclopédie’,” Bonnibeth Beale Fonseca-Greber, assistant professor, French
• “Chasing the Troubadours in the ‘Encyclopédie’,” Wendy Pfeffer, professor, French
• “Friendship, the ‘Encyclopédie’ and Diderot,” Wendy Carson Yoder, assistant professor, French
• “Mechanical computation in Diderot’s day,” Jake Wildstrom, assistant professor, mathematics

Admission to both the exhibit and the colloquium is free and open to the public.
