Dear UTC Community:

The Psychology Department is proud to present a lecture by University of
Notre Dame Professor Walter Nicgorski. His talk, entitled "The Morality
of the Liberal Arts," examines whether the broadening experience of
"liberal education" provides the basis for becoming decent and moral
citizens, or simply creates legions of articulate airheads.

The talk will be presented on *Wednesday, March 28 at 12:30 in EMCS room
230* and is open to everyone in the UTC community. It should last
approximately 45 minutes followed by a 15 minute question and answer
session. We especially encourage faculty to announce this opportunity to
their students. We look forward to seeing you there. Please contact
Brian O'Leary at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> or on X-4283
if you require additional information.

Cancer is so limited.
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot invade the soul.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the spirit. (Dedicated to my Father)
