Summer in Paris |
Students experienced a broad range of art and cultural events in the first half of the Paris program, ranging from a personal viewing of medieval manuscripts to “front row” seats at a fashion show. Other highlights included, a trip to Versailles, with a guided tour of rooms closed to the general public; an excursion to the cathedral of Chartres; a tour of the private rooms of the Hôtel Sully; two visits to the Louvre; and an evening at the Casino of Paris, with a cabaret show based on Josephine Baker’s career.

Summer in Rome
|
The Rome Summer Course went smoothly as always, with the usual high spots being the behind-the-scenes tour of the Vatican Palace and the Sistine Chapel, and the fountains of the Villa D'Este at Tivoli. The first half of the course, taught by Prof. John Kenfield, finished with great fanfare at a festive farewell dinner that included many toasts to Ancient and Medieval Rome. During the second half of the course, we toured the Renaissance and Baroque City, with a visit to the Synagogue built in Liberty Style (Italian art nouveau) and visits to the contemporary architecture of Richard Meier. On our last day of touring we took in the ancient republican hilltop ruins at Terracina and the blue Mediterranean beachtown below it. Our farewell dinner was a tribute to Dr. Joseph Stibora, who for three years served as our program-person-on-the-ground, organizer, interpreter, and first-aid manager, who was packing finally to return to the East Coast. As in the past, no one left Rome disappointed by their experience.
