Merriman to Speak On Background of Music

Making his annual foray into the world of music, Roger B. Merriman '96. Gurney Professor of History and Political Science, will speak today on "The Background of Music in the Reformation." The address will be delivered in John Knowles Paine Hall, at the Music Building, at 5 o'clock this afternoon.

Although the lecture is offered as par; of Music 1, Professor Merriman has consented to its being thrown open to the public. However, it still will be primarily directed to those with the background and the interests of students in music.

Professor Merriman, who returned to his habitual haunts this summer as he taught the first half of History 1, has given an annual lecture on Reformation music for many years. He currently teaches a course in Tudor and Stuart England.
