The annual Chautauqua program includes interactive, family-friendly presentations and is an educational program of the Maryland Humanities Council, presented in partnership with CSM. This year’s theme is “Sporting Lives” and will include 20th century athlete Babe Ruth. Ruth is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time and established many batting and pitching records before his retirement in 1935. Ruth will be portrayed on July 8 at the La Plata Campus. Illustration by Tom Chalkley.
