Novels, short stories, and poems of the 19ih century still keep us spell bound, and the beautiful melodies and harmonies of 19th-century mu sic still work their magic onus.

Dr. James Fogle from the De partment of Music, Speech, and The atre will present the 1993 Meredith College Faculty Distinguished Lec ture on Monday, November 22, at 8:00 p.m. in Jones Auditorium.

It is hoped that the journey taken that evening will ig nite the imaglnadons that too often lie latent within us and need to be developed every bit as much as think ing skills. Dreamers, hopeless romantics and even cynics and die-hard ratio nalists are invited to take the journey. Who knows? You might rediscover your own imagination. Is it true that we ask more questions before the age of six than we will for the rest of our lives? Did curiosity kill the cat. or was it a spitz?
