Saturday 14 April
The C. Densmore Curtis Lectures are a two-part gig: a big evening lecture for the public (http://www.brynmawr.edu/news/2007-04-05/burrell.shtml), see below, and an intense seminar for the graduate students the next day. So on Saturday, after Barbara's invigorating two-hour chase through the varieties of imperial apotheosis, the grad students and faculty took us to a formal dinner at the Haffner center on campus. College catering, but not bad for all that. Baked salmon and vegetarian lasagne, though not really enough for starving students. The semi-satiated grad students (still clever and kind) presented Barbara with a Bryn-Mawr-crested pewter bowl filled with chocolates, a T-shirt featuring a good mean grad school owl, a copy of her poster, and lots of happy memories. Not to mention a whacking great honorarium.
We also had some nice Argentine wine (Malbec), but we can't remember the name.
