HNR 320 Forbidden History

Forbidden History was a great class full of enthusiasm and creativity!  I found that I looked forward to each class and was sad when it was time to end the class every day.  I have never had students so engaged and so willing to work.  The body-snatching exhibit was the brainchild of a group of students who thought the community should know of this dark legacy.* I think they really enjoyed the design of the T-shirts, especially putting in a hidden message in Latin:  "Live Like a Norseman or Perish" because NKU is the Norse.  The students and I both learned that working together on a cause can not only be meaningful and rewarding but fun as well!

*The students in this classed created an exhibit on a bit of “hidden history” from our region – including the all-to-common-practice of body-snatching, often to sell the bodies to medical schools as cadavers for students learning human anatomy. To raise money for exhibit costs, students sold T-shirts. Proceeds were matched by student philanthropy program donors.

History

Clermont County Public Library began library service in 1955, with a bookmobile and a small office as its first facilities. Since then, the library system has expanded to 10 locations, achieving a goal of the Library Board to have a library within fifteen minutes driving time of all Clermont County residents.
