Renaissance Lecture Delights Century Club Audience
The Century Club welcomed an attentive audience for the opening lecture of its winter series. Dr. R. B. Roszel, Shenandoah Valley Academy principal, spoke on The Renaissance from its limited literary sense to its broad chapter of genius in literature, art, science, astronomy, and theology, highlighting Europe after Rome’s fall. His engaging talk drew on travel experiences and a masterful grouping of key figures to illuminate the era.
