Two final sessions, late in May, will be devoted to the presentation of papers by the ten graduate students participating in the symposium for credit. All sessions of the symposium will be open to the public free of charge.

The first was a seminar in 1968 concentrating upon Milton, and, according to Professor Weathers, “it was in that seminar that the idea for Blake Studies was developed by Kay Parkhurst and Roger Easson.” The second offering was a seminar in 1971 with special emphasis upon student creative work—plays and poems primarily—written in response to Blake’s work.
