Cather Lecture

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA — Professor Merrill Maguire Skaggs of Drew University (NJ) will give a free lecture on the author Willa Cather in the Stetson Faculty Lounge on the Williams College campus on Tuesday, Jan. 18, at 4 p.m.
"A Willa Cather Gold Mine and Other Surprises" will be offered in conjunction with the Chapin Library of Rare Books' current exhibit: "She Loved All Great Formal, Noble Things: A Willa Cather Miscellany” — drawn largely from the collection of David H.
