SAVE THE DATE - December 12, for EPIC’s annual winter luncheon reception and talk by
Walter Frisch, H. Harold Gumm/Harry and Albert von Tilzer Professor of Music. Professor Frisch will lead a multimedia discussion of his new book,
Over the Rainbow. Five copies of
Over the Rainbow will be offered as door prizes.
As part of our effort to increase the visibility of emeriti activities and to keep the EPIC community informed, we have started a News section on our website.
Dean Emeritus Frank Wolf has developed a number of automated searches for keeping track of emeritus activities, but if you have writings, appearances or news items that we have not covered, please send them in so that we can share the information. Two recent publications of interest are a review by Robert Paxton, Mellon Professor Emeritus in Social Sciences in
The New York Review of Books and an essay by Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History Richard Bushman on Mormonism in
Deseret News.
During our last Tuesday Talk, Professor Emeritus Michael Rosenthal delivered an engrossing lecture on Barney Rosset, Grove Press Publisher. It was interesting to reflect on events that we all experienced but yet are far enough away in time now to allow a bit more perspective.
It’s almost amusing what we considered inappropriate and offensive in those days of yesteryear – the 50’s and 60’s.
Hope to see you at Mischa Schwartz’s Tuesday Talk on November 28.
Have a good day and Happy Thanksgiving.
