TEST DRIVE Ever dependable in the clutch for authoritative automotive assessments, writer/photographer Ryan Scott this month gives LN readers insights into two top-of-theline SUVs on loan from Creve Coeur’s Plaza Jaguar Land Rover St. Louis.

On the cover 10 In 2000, French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio and his team discovered Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus, two ancient Egyptian cities that were nearly lost to history after being submerged underwater for more than 1,000 years. From March 25 until Sept. 9, the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) will present Goddio’s marvelous findings in “Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost World.” Turn to page 10 to learn more about this extraordinary exhibition and why it’s such a monumental project for SLAM.

EDITOR ‌AS TEMPERATURES TEETER-TOTTER BETWEEN BRISK AND beautiful this month, the playful pastels and florals hanging in your closet are likely testing your patience for spring to be in full swing. Every day, as trees blossom and bloom and flowers sprout forth, we inch closer. Starting on p. 39, explore fashion writer Katie Yeadon’s trendiest looks for the season. Between fresh florals (an obvious must), a playful crop top and a bright blazer, we hope that you enjoy these six looks and that they inspire you for the sunny days ahead. Also in this week’s edition, make sure to check out our car guru Ryan Scott’s take on street siblings – the 2018 Range Rover Velar and Jaguar F-Pace. Not only does the double touchscreen in the Range Rover excite the nerd in me, but also the massaging seats have me ready to trade in my key fob. We hope you enjoy learning about these cars, as well, starting on p. 50. All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Editor’s Corner The word around town

Congrats to the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri for raising more than $447,000 at its annual Dessert First fundraiser, which also marked the chapter’s 100th anniversary. Attendees had the opportunity to sample Girl Scout cookie-inspired desserts created by 17 local chefs, enjoy dinner and also witness three local organizations being honored for their support and commitment to the Girl Scout mission. The Berges Family Foundation received the 2018 Individual Legacy Builder Award; Centene Charitable Foundation received the 2018 Corporate Legacy Builder Award; and Donald Danforth Plant Science Center received the 2018 Community Legacy Builder Award.

Congratulations to the Hacienda Foundation of St. Louis and Westborough Country Club, which joined forces to donate a record-breaking amount of canned and dry goods to the St. Louis Area Foodbank. A total of 4,352 goods were donated in early February. According to a press release, this donation will provide more than 1,500 meals to those in need in our community

Delighting in Daffodils

By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess

njoying one of the metro area’s greatest garden treasures – a delight unknown to most, an ephemeral experience best enjoyed on an unseasonably warm, sunny day in late March or early April – requires only modest effort. More specifically, find two or three hours for a short road trip, grab your camera and wear good walking shoes to stroll around the lake at Shaw Nature Reserve – the daffodils are blooming! The reserve, part of the Missouri Botanical Garden family, opened in 1925 as a new home for the garden’s extensive orchid collection. Sulfur-heavy smog from burning coal for heating in old St. Louis was toxic to the orchids, and they needed cleaner air. In consequence, land in Gray Summit, in neighboring Franklin County, was purchased, greenhouses were built, and the collection moved away from the urban pollution. The first daffodils at the reserve arrived in the 1930s via a bushel basket from John Howe, an avid gardener in nearby Pacific, and esteemed botanist Edgar Anderson planted them around Pinetum Lake. Then, doing exactly what daffodils do, they multiplied! Naturalized in the meadows now, the original basketful has been added to over the decades with more recent cultivars. Exuberant, free and wild, brilliant and breathtaking, the resulting display, for me, puts an exclamation point on the statement “Winter is over!” and brings joy to my soul. Dr. Quinn Long, the reserve’s new director, calls the profusion of daffodils “a vivid exclamation of spring and an invitation to explore the stunning displays of native wildflowers” in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden. The reserve will host the annual Daffodil Dash 5K Trail Run on April 7 and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the wonder-filled Whitmire in October. My personal garden doesn’t have enough daffodils yet. I’ve planted at least a hundred new bulbs every fall, starting with a huge batch of ‘Tête-a-Têtes’ the first year. With 3 acres, room abounds for all of the reliable classics, like ‘Mount Hood,’ ‘Ice Follies,’ ‘Carlton,’ ‘Barrett Browning,’ ‘Earlicheer’ and ‘King Alfred,’ along with sweet ‘Thalia,’ poetic ‘Pheasant’s Eye’ and richly fragrant ‘Sweetness.’ My goal involves not creating a botanical collection (as I can enjoy almost 700 varieties at the Missouri Botanical Garden) but building a broad window of blooms from the very earliest to the last of the season. Some of my daffodils are planted to bring joy through a kitchen window; others grow close to the path, within easy reach for cutting and display inside. My fall planting list this year will include some of the fancy new butterfly and split-corolla hybrids like ‘Sovereign,’ wider color ranges as in orange ‘Shinto’ and pink cultivars ‘Romance’ or ‘Pink Charm,’ and more scented flowers and season extenders. Those now shopping for daffodil varieties should look for key descriptive phrases like up-facing, fade-resistant, fragrant, sturdy, prolific and good for naturalizing. Whether someone else calls them jonquils, narcissus or daffodils, I call them garden sunshine. Those wishing to learn more about genus Narcissus cultivars should visit daffseek.org for access to a massive database on daffodil varieties, photos, bloom times and breeder information.

St. Louis interior designer Jacob Laws was recently named The Fashion Group International’s Home Furnishings/ Product Innovation Rising Star Winner.

t. Louis interior designer Jacob Laws has made a name for himself locally with his fierce passion for art in all forms. The award-winning head of Jacob Laws Interior Design has worked tirelessly over the years to build a brand that reflects his style – and it’s paid off. Laws kicked off 2018 in New York City, where he attended The Fashion Group International’s (FGI) prestigious Rising Star Awards. The designer was announced as a finalist in early January, and he was named the organization’s Home Furnishings/Product Innovation Rising Star winner at the Jan. 25 event. Laws had attended the awards event last year, supporting two of the Saint Louis Fashion Fund’s inaugural class of designers, Emily Brady Koplar and Allison Mitchell, who themselves were nominated then as Rising Stars. A year later, a local member of FGI, Ellen Soule, nominated some of Laws’ work for the 2018 awards. “Honestly, I hadn’t considered my interior design projects, custom designs or bespoke work as a medium that was relevant for a nomination, much less being a finalist and having my name called as a winner,” he says.

maRcH 16, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Laws’ interior designs are classic with a modern edge. He often juxtaposes old and new and traditional and contemporary, creating a unique and fresh environment. For his submissions, Laws sent in some custom ceramic dishes, a cut-brass sculpture and dish created from the same piece of scrap metal and a wood sculpture carved from a block. “I submitted pieces that I had designed specifically for several projects,” he says. “I’m very proud to say that each piece has been handcrafted by local artisans, as I find it so important to support local talent and work collaboratively.” Laws says that each piece was designed with more than just aesthetics as the objective. “Every piece has its own bit of soul, and all my pieces are named after people who have been influential in shaping and cultivating my brand,” he says, naming the Dean Tower, Nancy Bowl and Holls Vases as examples. The experience at the awards was surreal, Laws says. He remembers waking up the day of the event “just thrilled” that he was going. An enthusiastic group of supporters joined him in New York, including his partner; his parents; family members; Saint Louis Fashion Fund members Susan Sherman, Tania Beasley-Jolly and Helene Sayad; and his “design sister,” Jessie D. Miller. The event took place at a sophisticated venue in Manhattan called Cipriani 42nd Street. Laws describes the atmosphere as “dreamy” and recalls feeling honored, anxious and excited leading up to the announcement. ELLE Decor editor-in-chief Whitney Robinson presented the home and interior category, and Laws says that “everything went black for a split second” when his name was called. “I truly didn’t have anything prepared to say because I never imagined that I would win,” he says. “The first words into the microphone were ‘Oh, [expletive].’ Luckily, the room laughed and clapped.” Laws says he dedicated the award to his style icon and inspiration: his grandmother Winnie Phillips Stahl. Inspired by the movers and shakers he interacted with in New York, Laws is already deep in projects for 2018. At the beginning of March, he was back in New York, working on the initial stages of a new effort called Jacob Laws Lifestyle. He’s also in the middle of a few St. Louis interior design projects. Those interested in learning more about his work can contact him at jacob@jacoblaws.com. “I will never give up designing and working on projects,” he says. “Being able to love what I do positively influences my quality of life.” As today’s design continues to evolve and morph to reflect the current culture and atmosphere of the world around it, Laws remains inspired by nearly everything around him. “The beauty of design is that it’s an art,” he says. “Every artist has [his or her] own particular niche. I’m always inspired by other peoples’ talent. I always find inspiration in art, fashion, culture, history and travel. Those are the things that will always excite me.” Jacob Laws Interior Design, 314-814-2431, jacoblaws.com

MARK

ichard Mark is one of the people I really admire. Whenever I hear that he is being honored with another award that comes with another plaque, I know it’s well deserved. Mark is a successful business executive. He’s the chairman and president of Ameren Illinois. He was raised in Collinsville, Illinois, but he says he wasn’t born there. That’s because in 1955 most hospitals didn’t treat African-Americans. His parents had to go across the river to the now-demolished St. Mary’s Infirmary in St. Louis because it was one of the few maternity hospitals that would deliver black babies. One might imagine that experiencing discrimination on the very day you’re born would cause him to be bitter and angry, but Mark says he has no power to do anything about the past, and his parents taught him to focus on the future instead. “My mom and dad talked about hard work and setting goals of what you wanted to do and achieve,” Mark says. “It was a combination of building the confidence in me as a child that I could do whatever I wanted to do and stressing the importance of a good education.” Mark’s mom worked as a nursing and teaching assistant, while his dad was a union hod carrier, raising all three of their children in Collinsville. “My mom told me you have God-given talents, and if you don’t use them, you’re letting Him down,” Mark says. “She made it my responsibility to achieve.” Mark played sports in high school and earned a football scholarship to Iowa State University, where he graduated with a degree in early-childhood education. He married an Iowa girl, moved back home and became a teacher and assistant high school football coach at Collinsville. He also took a job with the police department, working with troubled youths in hopes of keeping them out of the juvenile justice system. He eventually moved to health care. His ability to lead and his will to achieve allowed him to work his way up to the CEO’s office of St. Mary’s Hospital in East St. Louis. He was also appointed by the governor to oversee the beleaguered East St. Louis School District. “Our country has gotten to the point where we don’t want to talk about being reasonable,” Mark says. “We want to talk about one end of the spectrum or the other, and I don’t think you can be successful that way. We have to find a balance.” He uses that same philosophy at Ameren, finding ways to balance the development of renewable energy with the need for electrical power. “It’s going to be a mix of all types of energy sources and how we use wind, solar, gas, nuclear,” Mark says. “All of those energies need to be used in a more coordinated way, using the most appropriate energy sources for the tasks at hand.” Mark has been recognized with hundreds of awards for his community service and leadership. Organizations from the NAACP to the Better Business Bureau to the Saint Louis Zoo Association have lauded him. He’s earned three honorary doctorates and has been recognized by Black Enterprise and Savoy magazines as one of the top 100 most influential black businessmen in America. However, Mark says the most important recognition he ever got came from a young black man he first met approximately 12 years ago. At that time, the man was panhandling on a St. Louis street. “I told him I wouldn’t give him money, but I’d buy him something to eat,” Mark says. As the other man ate, Mark encouraged him to stay in school and convinced him it was possible to succeed. Just a few months ago, that same young man recognized Mark at a store, approached him and reminded him of their encounter years earlier. “He said, ‘I wanted to let you know I have a good job at a bank, I

She made it my responsibility to achieve. - RICHARD MARK just got married and bought a house, and I wanted to thank you because you helped me realize that I really could be what I wanted to be,’” Mark relayed. “It brought tears to my eyes when he told me that.” Sometimes the most well-deserved and honorable awards don’t come with a plaque.

Hyken’s HOMEWORK Socially Anxious Teenagers

‌S

ome might say our son is a basement dweller, and to be fair, our other son is a room dweller. Days can pass where we see them only for meals, for a few minutes in the evening (as they raid the kitchen for snacks) and for a final good night. As parents, my wife and I have consciously decided to accept that our children spend a lot of time engaged in independent activities. As a family therapist, I hear many parents in counseling sessions express frustration that their children rarely leave their rooms. When we start to process this concern, however, it becomes clear these kids are often doing many hours of homework, followed by some downtime watching Netflix on a laptop or engaging in a quick Fortnite battle with friends before going to bed. Many of these teens also participate in extracurricular activities or have part-time jobs. After a busy day, most look forward to spending time in a comfortable space to do nightly work and recharge mind and body to do it all again the next day. For some, unfortunately, the basement or bedroom

constitutes a hiding place to avoid the pressures of life outside the home. Teens who suffer from social anxiety often can’t leave the house except for mandated activities like school or family obligations. Social anxiety, an intense fear or phobia, occurs in social situations or performance obligations like a classroom presentation. All adolescents struggle at one time or another with normal nerves; others, however, avoid pleasurable outings like school events or trips to the movies for fear of being judged and criticized. The basement functions not as a refuge for these apprehensive teens but rather as a place to hide when irrational fear takes over. Anxiety symptoms vary from teen to teen. Typically, socially anxious teens feel excessively dependent, withdrawn or uneasy. Some restrain emotions, while others become overly emotional. Most all who suffer from this debilitating mental health issue, though, suffer from unrealistic concerns about social competence. To support your own teen through challenging times, parents, try a few of the following strategies.

By Dr. Russell Hyken

Avoid being overprotective, and encourage your child to seek safe social situations, such as attending small gatherings with trusted friends. Help your child set a realistic goal of joining a school club or team, but also help him or her with the steps needed to achieve this objective. Despite the importance of flexibility, avoid altering your expectations. If your child suffers from social anxiety and you feel he or she is making little progress, consistent counseling’s recommended. Many therapies, such as cognitive behavioral methodologies, provide specific strategies to help anyone afflicted with atypical worries. Anxious teens can become anxious adults without treatment. With support, most should find therapy a positive and successful experience.

Prior to going into private practice as a psychotherapist and learning-disabilities specialist, Russell Hyken, Ph.D., Ed.S., M.A., LPC, NCC, worked for more than 15 years as an English teacher, school counselor and school administrator. Visit him online at ed-psy.com.

Continue to 2008, when Jaguar and Land Rover sold to the Indian company Tata Motors. Tata makes everything from the world’s cheapest car – “car” being a generous descriptor for what’s basically a soda can powered by a moped motor – to twin-axle dump trucks, buses, military vehicles and construction equipment. Basically, if a need exists for something with wheels and a motor, Tata makes an inexpensive version. So when the lowbrow Tata purchased highfalutin Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the collective automotive world assumed those brands were kaput. With a decade passed, however, we’re relieved to recognize that assumption as hasty. JLR has returned to its former glory, with sales going from count-on-one-hand to more than a half-million units worldwide. Even more important – and responsible for that success – has been the fact that JLR’s unique British quality and character have remained. Tata made the smart decision of keeping

decision-making for those brands in Coventry, in the center of the United Kingdom. Jaguar and Land Rover now share platforms – knowledge I wish I had possessed prior to preparing for this review but sadly didn’t. The first example of JLR developing a platform for cross-pollination appeared in 2016 as the Jaguar F-Pace. From the beginning, this modular architecture was designed to serve as the underpinnings for a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. Making heavy use of aluminum for lightness and boasting a sophisticated suspension setup, this platform’s something of a chameleon – highly tunable for both sedans and SUVs with either sporty or off-road aspirations. To ensure a fair comparison, both the F-Pace and Velar driven made use of the same supercharged 3.0-liter V-6. (Both come with a wide range of other powerplant options.) In both, the V-6 wrings out 380 horsepower and 332 foot-pound of torque and couples with the same ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. But JLR well recognizes issues when competing products on the showroom floor don’t distinguish themselves clearly – just ask Chevy/Pontiac. In that they both clearly have stylings all their own, the promise remains that they both have character and driving dynamics all their own, as well. So to the road we go!

2018 Range Rover Velar P380 R-Dynamic HSE First impressions – they’re important. I’ll just say this: Velar makes quite a good one. Outside, it balances everything perfectly – sporty and stylish, refined and edgy. I rarely look back at an SUV when leaving a parking space, but this shape struck me as striking in subtle ways and led to many backward glances. Inside the undeniably classy design, execution continues with a wow-inducing combination of luxurious materials and perfectly integrated tech bits. My previous high bar for this, the Volvo XC90, now has a challenger. Powering on the Velar – with its bright double layout, full-color instrument cluster and head-up display – made me feel happy for the future of cars. If I were buying, the Velar made a first impression so strong I might have signed paperwork before even a drive. Yes, I’m gushing, but the truth is, Land Rover hit a grand slam with the execution of this vehicle’s design. But I did drive (tough job, that it is) and enjoyed my time behind the wheel, as well. The Velar’s obviously been tuned more to the luxurious, with throttle response slowed, suspension inputs highly damped and road noise/feel all but eliminated. Typically, such characteristics don’t sit well with me as a sporting

TesT DRive: RANGe RoveR veLAR AND JAGuAR F-PACe driver, but in the Velar, I felt differently. As with my driving experience with the Volvo XC90, a sense of luxury and calm was so effectively conveyed to me as the driver that I never missed the ability to wring it out on twisty backroads. Also, off-roading has always been synonymous with Land Rover, and I’m told the Velar’s quite capable, although I had no chance to test that myself. Otherwise, I felt a bit enamored of its infotainment system. Having so much of the car integrated through touch screens can, I’m sure, seem off-putting to some, but the Velar features such integration smartly done and quickly mastered. I wouldn’t rank it quite as cool as a Tesla, but it’s certainly classier to behold. Like Audi’s virtual cockpit, the Land Rover customizable instrument cluster feels futuristic and quite functional. Capacitive-touch steering wheelmounted “buttons” control the cluster – another thing new to me. All around, the interior exudes class, and who wouldn’t love the Velar’s massaging seats?

2018 Jaguar F-Pace 35t R-Sport A glance at this big cat should make clear it has intentions different from the Velar’s. Sharper lines and a more aggressive front fascia tell the tale: The F-Pace is the sportier alternative. Inside, as well, it feels more Spartan, with seats sporting aggressive bolstering for support. On startup, you hear something the Velar lacks: an audible exhaust note. All those niceties on the Velar come with a weight penalty, and the lighter F-Pace feels more flickable. Its throttle response has been tuned to reward a twitchy right foot, and combined with the exhaust growl under throttle, it sparks a significantly more visceral emotional response. I took the F-Pace on one of my favorite back roads, which proved rewarding and communicative enough to prompt a grin, especially when I set the gearbox selector to sport and used the manual shift paddles. Although many bits from the Velar’s interior also grace the Jag’s – the massive glass panoramic roof, for instance, and the highgrade stitched leather – it has a completely different feel. Taken on its own, the result can compete with anything in its class. It’s just that the Velar occupies another level.

Product differentiation constitutes no issue here. Although fraternal twins, the Velar and F-Pace remain individuals. Moreover, trepidation over the Indian Tata leading two of Britain’s premier brands was clearly misplaced. Both the Land Rover and Jaguar make a crowded and competitive SUV shopping field more lively and fun. Both deserve to be here. Furthermore, they present an interesting conundrum: On one hand, you can easily see why the F-Pace immediately became Jaguar’s top-selling model, with some even saying it saved the brand – it’s one of the rare few SUVs that earn that acronym, delivering both sport and utility. On the other hand, the Velar radiates want, class and refinement and makes me wish I had a British accent. So which to buy? The Velar feels fresher, a feeling that will keep for years into the future. The Jag’s absolutely more a driver’s car, but I did wish it had the showoff living space of the Velar. As good news, though, both share a roof at Plaza Jaguar Land Rover, so do yourself a favor: If you drive one, make sure to drive the other.

‌Story: As you enter the Emerson Studio Theatre, it appears The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is joining with Xiong Collective to present an art show titled “Devil in a Blue Dress,” created by an artist named Lin Bo. The “hybrid theatre/art installation presentation’s” program notes by Mark Winston, of Washington University in St. Louis, refer to him as a “Chinese conceptual artist most often associated with the so-called ‘confrontation’ movement.” A docent guides you through the showing, explaining its various elements. St. Louis has become the latest city to host an example of Lin Bo’s work, following his release from prison in China because of his piece titled Rally. Since he immigrated to the United States in 2014, his work has been displayed in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis and now the St. Louis area. Lin Bo himself later discusses his work, recounting the terrible suffering he endured while in prison. That’s just the beginning of the story, however. Lin Bo later meets with his editors at The New Yorker, who have a few questions to ask him following their publication of his harrowing story. Allusions are made to Mike Daisey, a performance artist who caused a sensation with his radio story “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs,” about Chinese workers who toiled in subpar conditions to make Apple products. The problem was, Daisey later admitted his story wasn’t completely true, causing considerable embarrassment for NPR and its show This American Life. And what about a writer named Wang Min? Has she influenced the intrepid Lin Bo? How does she fit into this increasingly complex tale, a subject of controversy where truth, fact and fiction blur at a dizzying pace? Highlights: The Rep brings down the curtain on its 2017-18 Emerson season with this arresting, sometimes exhilarating, frequently clever albeit often annoying puzzle piece by playwright Christopher Chen. Other Info: A big clue to this philosophical whodunit comes when patrons are not given the production program (as opposed to the exhibition notes) until they exit the venue at its conclusion. At that point, one can read some especially noteworthy comments by director Seth Gordon. Chen’s writing at times seems whimsical and delightful, such as his reference to a revered figure named Yu Wong. At other times, it comes across as pretentious claptrap. The phrase “It is not a matter of,” for example, is beaten to death with sledgehammer subtlety that wears thin long before the beating concludes. Scenic designer Robert Mark Morgan, in coordination with projection designer Kylee Loera and installation artist Albert Yowshien Kuo, offers an attractive and intriguing set on which the performers

of Caught can converse against an unusual backdrop. More specifically, portable pieces of the set are moved quickly between the one-act play’s myriad scenes to present effective looks for an art gallery, an office and a break room. Gordon elicits fine performances from his quartet of players, who go all-out on Chen’s frequently confusing dialogue. Cast members studiously present characters grappling with their conceptions of truth, which are shaped by their own failings and baggage. It’s a convoluted process, but Gordon seems up to the challenge of making this funky frolic work for the audience. Kenneth Lee adeptly conveys the character of Lin Bo (and himself) as at times charming, defensive, outrageous, poignant and silly, not at all easy given the circumstances. Rachel Lin’s character, Wang Min, arrives later in the 90-minute work but quickly takes center stage in Lin’s crisp, calculated and studied interpretation. Like some of her colleagues, she also portrays herself at times. Rachel Fenton deftly handles the roles of New Yorker editor Joyce as a woman who’s simultaneously exhilarated by her first major publishing coup and wary about its possible fallout. She also excels in a Q&A session that sends Caught down another of its endless rabbit holes. Jeffrey Cummings fills out the quartet as Joyce’s somewhat smarmy boss, happy to share in glory but eager to pass blame at less joyful news. Ann Wrightson’s lighting shrewdly underscores key scenes and moments in Chen’s twisting tale, while Felia Davenport’s costumes complement the characters. People far more sophisticated and intelligent than I doubtless will find Caught a captivating and intriguing intellectual exercise. As The X-Files’ Agent Mulder has said for a quarter of a century now, “The truth is out there.” But how the heck can you find it?

A HArvest

Gloriously UNABATeD By Bryan A. Hollerbach Photos courtesy of Saint Louis University

Saint Louis University celebrates the 200th anniversary of its founding – and invites the surrounding community to join the celebration.

wo centuries ago, commodity inflation, land speculation and other woes engendered by the War of 1812 continued to plague this nation, and citizens of a territory called Missouri were only just starting to petition Congress for admittance to the union as a state, which took almost three years to succeed, on Aug. 10, 1821. Far more promisingly and certainly more proactively, on Nov. 16, 1818, the Most Rev. Louis William Valentine DuBourg founded what would become Saint Louis University – a bicentennial now being memorialized in a 15-month celebration. A 16-member steering committee and a 20-member advisory council planned the celebration. Amusingly, it began with something of a “soft opening” last Sept. 19, when the Saint Louis University Associates accorded an award to Margaret Atwood, the esteemed Canadian belletrist. Officially, the bicentennial opened four days later below St. Louis’ Gateway Arch with an extraordinary Mass. That opener included “food, entertainment and fireworks over the Mississippi,” according to the university’s website. “From a school founded on the frontier of the United States, it has become one that blazes new frontiers in the intellectual, the social, the faith, the common life of this community and this world,” the Rev. Ronald Mercier, the homilist, assured the throngs attending the Mass. “And those endeavors, that harvest, continues unabated.” The audience that day included more than 100 Catholic and other religious leaders, with the Most Rev. Robert J. Carlson, Students pose in the quadrangle of the downtown campus. Behind them is the original 1829 building, which gained new wings in 1832 and 1833. archbishop of St. Louis, presiding. According to a story about the Mass on the university’s website, thousands of celebrants attended. “Believed to be the first Mass ever held beneath the Arch, the setting recalled the school’s first location in a small home located on what is now the Arch grounds,” the website states. Also previously, last Nov. 14 witnessed the unveiling, at Grand and Lindell boulevards, of a clock commemorating the bicentennial, and a few weeks later, on Dec. 6, a website related to the celebration launched.

Commemorative events yet to come include conferences, symposiums, lectures, a multifaceted exhibition, a summit, a tour and the celebration’s grand finale, this coming Nov. 15. (Those seeking a specific timeline and greater detail should visit the university’s website.) Two bicentennial events from the next month, for scheduling purposes, almost demand emphasis here. First, on April 15, a 5K run/walk will start at the university’s Chaifetz Arena and will benefit one of the university’s funds. Then, on April 17 and 18, the university will sponsor “From Selma to St. Louis: Theology of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Pursuit of Justice 50 Years Later,” a salute both to the landmark civil rights year of 1968 and to a visit by King to the university in 1964. The celebration of the university’s bicentennial also encompasses two more-recent anniversaries. First, last Sept. 14, the department of Social work class, early 1960s. occupational science, part of the university’s Doisy College of Health Sciences, observed its 25th anniversary. Also, 2018 marks the same anniversary for the construction of the horological obelisk central to the campus, sited in what’s now named the Joseph G. Lipic Clock Tower Plaza. The latter of those two more-recent anniversaries should serve as a gentle reminder of how quickly time’s passage can turn calendar pages into confetti.

By way of example, DuBourg’s educational institution, which initially held 65 students in a two-story house near the Mississippi River, bore the name Saint Louis Academy, then, starting in 1820, Saint Louis College. A dozen years later, it adopted its current moniker, but not until 1889, after a few relocations and considerable growth, did the institution occupy its current site. Nowadays, the campus sprawls across almost 250 acres and includes more than 130 buildings totaling more than 7 million square feet. More than 13,000 students, undergrad and grad, attend the university, which more than 3,000 faculty members serve. Under Fred P. Pestello – who holds bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in sociology and who’s now serving as the university’s 33rd president – the student body comprises enrollees from the entire United States and more than 70 other nations. Reportedly, the university ranks as the oldest institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi River, with clarity, simplicity, dignity and inclusiveness forming its guiding principles. Given its focus and its distinguished history, the university lays claim to numerous academic achievements over time: first graduate programs west of the Mississippi, 1832; first medical school west of the Mississippi, 1836; first law school in the West, 1843; first business school west of the Mississippi, 1910; first geophysics department in the Western Hemisphere, 1925; and first federally licensed aviation school, 1927. In 1944, it became the first Missouri university to admit African-Americans and to integrate its student body. In Lion of the Valley: St. Louis, Missouri, 1764-1980, the longtime standard reference on the metro area, author James Neal Primm quotes DuBourg from a letter written soon after the bishop arrived here: “The country, the most beautiful in the world, is healthy and fertile, and emigrants pour in. But everything is dear.” Although they might quibble over the specific definition of that last word, the university’s students, staff, faculty, administrators and alumni likely would echo DuBourg’s fond, even whimsical-sounding assessment – this year of all years.
