Dana Gioia, the recent outgoing Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, is on campus today. He will be speaking to humanities faculty this afternoon and giving a public lecture tonight entitled "Why Literature Matters." (7:30 in Hostetter Chapel). If you are a Messiah student you need to be there tonight!
In the meantime, check out Gioia in this 4 minute video: "Why Reading Matters." This is good stuff.
