Stetson Hats...right next to Temple

Per our very brief discussion of Hatboro, PA in class on Monday, here is a brief entry from Phila Place (the neighborhood history project of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania) on the Stetson Factory that used to be near us at Temple. 

Check it out: http://www.philaplace.org/story/326/

Phila Place also has some useful demographic data on neighborhoods and how they've changed over time.  It's a great introduction to Philadelphia history.  The Historical Society of Philadelphia is also a very interesting place to visit, should you consider it for your Museum/Site Review Essay.

Welcome!

Welcome to the fall 2012 Mosaic 851/951 blog that will catalog information, conversation, and other areas of interest to our class this semester.  This course is the first of a two-semester seminar that will introduce you to humanities at Temple University.  We'll use this space throughout the semester to share ideas and to keep track of our many projects.

To learn more about the course sequence and design, please see the program page for Intellectual Heritage.  There you will find, among other items, the listing for this semester’s lecture and film series.

Visit this page often and feel free to comment whenever you see fit.

Looking forward to a great semester!
