Stylistically, the picture can only be described as an amalgam, with bugle-clear echoes of Raphael and Velasquez, muted ones of Turner, the impressionists, and such modern reproduction devices as the color dot screen. The composition is strict, static, deliberate and almost incredibly spacious, yet the lack of technical and emotional unity makes it seem cluttered and diffuse. It is as if a profoundly erudite painter had dozed off at his window in the dawn, and dreamed what no other man could imagine, a pearly vision of the impossible mingling with the possible...

Porcella ticked seven of them off as a Caravaggio, a Lotto, a Tintoretto, and some assorted smaller fry.

Other workshops tied to courses are offered by Raphael Demos, professor of Philosophy, in connection with Phil 1; Stephen Gilman, professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, together with Hum 7; and McGeorge Bundy, professor of Government, and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, who will direct a group of from five to eight freshmen in study related to Gov 185.

...that four years at college fails to stimulate thought on the Big Questions--after-life, the meaning of existence, man's role in the universe. The College, however, does not attempt to answer these Questions; teachers, in Raphael Demos's phrase, may lead students into the wood and leave them to find their own way out. Classroom discussion and reading, plus contact with other faiths, definitely bolster religious questioning. For many Protestants, the result may be temporary agnosticism, but for others it may bring renewed understanding built on a previously existing basis of faith...
