Welty’s beautifully c rafted\, joyous\, and wise stories\, often set in the South\, cross the lines of color and class\, offering unforgettable portraits of a region and its people. She was the author of ten collections of short stories\, six novels\, and five books of literary criticism. Her many awards incl ude the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1973.\n\nTo celebrate Welty’s 100t h birthday\, Continuing Studies has invited her biographer and friend Su zanne Marrs to talk about Welty and her legacy. Marrs’ 2005 biography\, entitled simply Eudora Welty\, is regarded as the definitive life story\ , and one that the Dallas Morning News said “captures the humorous and u nconventional spirit of one of the South’s greatest writers.”\n\nOur eve ning celebration also features readings of some of Welty’s most popular short stories (“Why I Live at the P.O.\,” “A Worn Path\,” "Where Is the Voice Coming From?"). These performances—by Courtney Walsh\, Aleta Hayes \, and Rush Rehm—will be supplemented by projections of Welty’s extraord inary photographs\, many of them made while she worked for the WPA in th e 1930s\, bearing clear-eyed witness to the human and architectural land scape of the South.\n\nSUZANNE MARRS\nProfessor of English\, Millsaps Co llege\nSuzanne Marrs’ research centers on the American South and especia lly on Eudora Welty. She has lectured widely on Welty’s fiction\, servin g as consultant for the 1987 BBC documentary on the writer. In addition to numerous articles\, Marrs has published The Welty Collection\, Welty and Politics\, One Writer’s Imagination: The Fiction of Eudora Welty\, a nd the biography Eudora Welty. Recipient of the 1998 Phoenix Award for O utstanding Achievement in Eudora Welty Scholarship\, Professor Marrs is currently Welty Foundation Scholar in Residence.\n\nRUSH REHM\nProfessor of Drama and Classics\; Artistic Director\, Stanford Summer Theater (SS T)\nRush Rehm has written extensively on Greek tragedy\, including Greek Tragic Theatre\, Marriage to Death\, The Play of Space: Spatial Transfo rmation in Greek Tragedy\, and Radical Theatre: Greek Tragedy and the Mo dern World. Rehm has taught several courses for Continuing Studies and t he Master of Liberal Arts program. Last year he directed “The Time of Yo ur Life: A William Saroyan Evening” and this past Summer he directed The Electra Festival for Stanford Summer Theater.

In just a few years\, the number of Americans over 60 will surpass the n umber of children under 15. By the time our children reach old age\, liv ing to 100 will be commonplace.\n\nRather than perceiving this as good n ews\, most people respond to extended longevity with discussions about c oping with or halting the aging process. Yet\, to the extent that people arrive at old age mentally sharp\, physically fit\, and financially sec ure\, long-lived societies will thrive.\n\nProfessor Carstensen argues t hat among the most pressing needs of the modern world is the development of “longevity science.” Science and technology offer alternatives to ca tastrophic predictions about societies that are overburdened by frail el ders. Advances in science can form the basis of a culture in which we im prove quality of life at all ages\, and psychological science must be an essential part of that process.
