Welcome to Humanities Open House 2005, the day-long celebration of humanistic inquiry at the University of Chicago. The Division of the Humanities was established within the University of Chicago in 1930, and in honor of our 75 th birthday we are delighted to share with you, free of charge, the variety, ingenuity, and excitement that characterizes humanities scholarship today.
