Morgan Freeman Teaches Kids to Read in Vintage Electric Company Footage from 1971
Every actor has to start somewhere, and Morgan Freeman (Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption, and Million Dollar Baby) could have done worse than joining the cast of The Electric Company, the PBS children’s television series that aired from 1971 to 1977. The original cast included Bill Cosby and Rita Moreno (not bad company), and the versatile Freeman played a series of characters: “Mel Mounds,” “Vincent the Vegetable Vampire,” and then, of course, Easy Reader. If you’re of my generation, you might recognize his theme song above. Below, we show you Easy Reader (a pun on the 1969 film Easy Rider) in action, teaching kids to read in his effortlessly cool, hipster way. H/T Metafilter

Studs Terkel Reads Pete Seeger Poem ‘Blessed be the Nation’
Studs Terkel would have turned 100 years old today. A legendary broadcaster and the author of ground-breaking oral histories of the American experience in the 20th century–including his Pulitzer Prize-winning examination of World War II, The Good War–Terkel was a beloved cultural figure in his native Chicago up until his death in October, 2008. The headline of his New York Times obituary called him “Listener to Americans.” It was an apt phrase. “The thing I’m able to do, I guess, is break down walls,” Terkel once said. “If they think you’re listening, they’ll talk. It’s more of a conversation than an interview.” With Studs, they talked.
To celebrate his 100th birthday we bring you a little clip from the “Eight Forty-Eight” show on Chicago public radio station WBEZ, with a listener calling in from his car to play a reading by Terkel of a poem written by Pete Seeger and Jim Musselman called “Blessed be the Nation.” It’s from the 1998 tribute album Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger. The brief clip reveals something of Terkel’s values, and of the esteem in which he is still held in the Windy City.

… means "As many branches, so many trees". This is the motto of Allahabad University, India. I did my graduation from this famous and (till few years back) a prestigious University in India. It is the fourth modern University established in India on 23 September 1887.
As you can see the University buildings have classical architectural designs and have strong Victorian and Islamic architectural style influences. The building on view is part of the Department of Mathematics.
