  • Fifteenth International Congress on Medieval Studies
    Dear Colleague: It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the Fifteenth International Congress on Medieval Studies, which will be held from May 1-4, 1980 at the Conference Center (Golds- worth Valley II and III) of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. Once again, we extend a special welcome to the memberships of the American Society for Reformation Research, the Conference on Cistercian Studies, the International Center of Medieval Art, the Academy of American Research Historians on Medieval Spain, the Conference for Dominican Life, the American Spenser Society, the Society for the Study of Medievalism, the Medieval Association of the Midwest, and the Michigan Consortium for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, whose annual meetings and special sessions have not only taken advantage of the extraordinary opportunity for contact and exchange with other fields of scholarship, but who, in turn, have made invaluable contributions to the in terdisciplinary character of this annual gathering of medieval and Renaissance scholars from around the world. The topics of the two plenary sessions, as well as those of a number of special sessions in this year's program, were chosen in observance of the 15th centenary of the birth of St. Benedict, the 700th anniversary of the death of Albert the Great, and the 450th anniversary of the Diet of Augsburg and the Confessio Augustana. That evenings should be set aside for informal gatherings, receptions, and special events has long been a tradition at Kalamazoo. This year, a special program of Cistercian Music will be presented by the Society for Old Music on Thursday evening, 8 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church of Kalamazoo.
