On winter evenings, English Students braved the elements to seek out King Leer in the carpeted warmth of the English room; and in the spring made their way toward Canterbury with Chaucher’s pil- grims. Others were content to stay at home with Eliot’s Cocktail Party. Spurred by the author among us, Dr. Pellman’s students researched and produced, then relaxed with professors as Award Theater presented St. Joan. Serious faces stared into Shakespeare’s marble eyes, and amateur sonneteers examined first folios as students visited the Folger Library in Washington, D.C., wrapping themselves in the atmospheric cloak of his times at the National Gallery of Art. These students listened to Professor Batson pro- pose the possibility of Renaissance, attacked term papers as a matter of course, and cut creative writing to wander up the hill alone with pen and journal. Discovering covered wealth they bought their pleasure in paperback. We listened to them, the bellitristic voices, pursuing the intricate chapters of mankind. MR.
