...work of art, the result is bound to mesmerize. Yet “The Rake’s Progress,” a modern opera first performed in Venice in 1951, is seldom included in the repertoire of major companies due to the common but misguided perception that English opera is inferior to its Italian or German counterpart. Over the past two weekends, the Dunster House Opera sought to correct this under-appreciation of Stravinksy’s work.

...Professor Janet Browne’s History of Science 238: “Rethinking the Darwinian Revolution.” To celebrate the year of Charles R. Darwin’s 200th birthday, the course’s eight students conducted research and constructed a display on the English naturalist. Each of them tackled a specific aspect of his life and legacy for the project; among the exhibit’s offerings include a children’s book on the H.M.S.
