England, France, the United States, Israel, and Mexico. The Adelphians and Voci d’Amici singers will be conducted by Director of

Choral Activities Steven Zopfi, and Chaplain David Wright ’96 will provide readings.

Dec. 7, at 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

The music, coming from many traditions and cultures, will include familiar carols and compositions by celebrated American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, French composer and pianist Francis Poulenc, American choral composer William

Billings, and contemporary English sacred music choral composer

Philip Stopford, among others.

Library exhibit features hands-on demonstrations exploring electricity

Sparking Imaginations: The History and Technology of Electricity and Electric Power , the current exhibit on view in Collins Memorial Library, investigates the study of electricity from the 18th to the 21st centuries, and considers today’s electrical generation and conservation efforts.

Visitors to the exhibit are able to create a “human battery” by touching two metal plates and creating a current that is recorded by a galvanometer. Also on view is a handcrank generator that manually rotates a coil of wire between the poles of a magnet, turning on a light bulb. Visitors can learn about pioneers in the field of electricity—

Benjamin Franklin, Jean-Antoine Nollet, Hans Christian Orsted, Michael Faraday, Thomas

Edison, and others—as well as the social, cultural, and intellectual challenges these scientists faced. The exhibit also includes early photographs and information about the growth of Tacoma Public Utilities.

Sparking Imaginations is a collaboration of Tacoma Public Utilities and Puget Sound’s

Office of the President, Collins Memorial Library, Department of Physics, and Science,

Technology, and Society Program. Special thanks also goes to the many participating students, faculty, and staff.

The exhibit is on display in Collins Memorial Library through Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015.

Regular library hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. After 9 p.m. access is restricted to current Puget Sound students, faculty, and staff. Hours are reduced during breaks and holidays. Call 253.879.3257 for a recorded library-hours message, updated regularly.
