Last Saturday I had lunch with a Loyola University history professor I know who also teaches adult courses at Chicago's independent humanities Newberry Library, as part of its public seminars program. A year ago, on on the Napoleonic era of French history, last autumn on Ruskin, Mill and Arnold, this summer on Disraeli and Gladstone. His spring course, nearing its conclusion, is on "The Age of Churchill" covering his early life through World War II, and he told me that the demographic of this course is different from others, that the subject matter brought out a bunch of people in their twenties, where all his others have drawn people in their forties to sixties. He was surprised, and very pleased. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
