I went to the extra Credit lecture last night at the tabernacle building, which was presented by Dr. Charles Moseley from Cambridge University in Great Britain. The lecture was titled An Enduring Academic Legacy: or Minding and Closing the Gap. This was a lecture on humanities and actually turned out to be very intriguing. The night started out with introductions and music from a couple of talented and renowned musicians playing some Beethoven and Horshack on the violin and piano, which was unexpected and jolly good. They also played a slideshow of DSC Professors' trips to Cambridge University giving humanities lectures. The pictures of the Cambridge campus looked like a mix of a garden and a library, they were very beautiful and fun to see the various culture.
Dr. Moseley's lecture also shared some fun culture in his proper pronunciation and fun english terms like that'l be lovely, jolly good and thats grand. His talk was quite witty and humorous keeping the audience engaged. The beginning of his lecture seemed like more of a introduction to Cambridge, but as it continued it discussed the links between colleges, subjects and institutions impressing the idea that there is much we can learn from each other, and to continue to try for some kindness and understanding. His lecture conveyed personal stories, interesting quotes and pieces of history. He also demonstrated good points like, we all have things to say, and we should all listen, because both sides can benefit from each other and will continue to need each other. It was a fascinating lecture that I really enjoyed.
