Dante's Purgatory as a Life Lesson at Coe College
Dr Edward Howard Griggs compared Dante's Purgatory to life in a lecture at Coe College chapel. He described modern human faults as obstacles on the purification path and noted California like scenery as a vivid backdrop for Dantean climbs. He highlighted cardinal virtues and the journey from gloom to dawn as the path to spiritual perfection. A mention notes a future lecture on Dante's Paradise and a separate line about a new wallpaper-hanging machine in England.
