    Dear Colleague: It is my pleasure to invite you to the Twenty-First International Congress on Medieval Studies to be held May 8-11, 1986 on the campus of Western Michigan University, under the sponsorship of the University's Medieval Institute. Among the highlights of this year's program are the symposia on Current Studies on Cluny sponsored by the International Center on Medieval Art, and on The Creative 'Word' in Medieval Culture sponsored by the Medieval Institute.

In conjunction with the Cluny symposium, an exhibit of photographs, maps, and diagrams drawn from recent excavations will focus on the Romanesque sculpture of Cluny and will be on display throughout the Congress at the Fetzer Center. The exhibit has been assembled by Dr. Neil Stratford, Keeper of Antiquities at the British Museum, London. On Friday evening, May 9, Therese Schroeder-Sheker will perform a program of hymns and secular songs from the later Middle Ages, using Romanesque, Gothic, and Irish harps. The program, entitled Pilgrim, is divided along geographical lines, reflecting the experiences of the pilgrim in 13th and 14th century Europe.
