An evening at NOCA

The Frommer Society.

A public lecture and discussion series at Northwest Ohio Classical Academy. NOCA faculty and invited scholars argue, in front of their neighbors, about the questions a good education was always supposed to be about — politics, religion, ethics, literature, history, art, and music.

Open to the community. Free to attend. Curiosity, honesty, and civility expected of everyone in the room.

A dedication

Named for Dr. Morris Frommer.

The Society is named for Dr. Morris Frommer — a long-time friend of NOCA who has, over the years, taught, tutored, donated generously, and given the Upper School library many of the history books now on its shelves. Dr. Frommer and his wife, Barbara, have shaped this school's intellectual life quietly and insistently.

The Society bears his name because its spirit is his spirit: that a good argument, pursued in good faith, is the most serious form of hospitality an educated person can offer a neighbor.
