PERFORMANCES / LECTURES / EVENTS
Got a minute?
That was all it took for Classical Studies Professor Joseph Farrell
to talk about time two summers ago. This summer, the 60-Second Lecture
and Lunch Series returns, with some of Penn’s star faculty
delivering the world’s shortest lectures on subjects of interest.
For a complete schedule of speakers in June, see the day-by-day
listings at left. Don’t forget — the lectures start at
noon sharp at 37th Street and Locust Walk.
