SPECIAL TO THE DISPATCH

n Thursday, Sept. 25, the Mississippi Uni- versity for Women Gordy Honors College OForum Series features Dr. Beverly Joyce, MUW professor of Art History, speaking on “Sto- len Art, Nazi Ideology and the Monuments Men.” The “monuments men” were a small corps of soldiers whose initial task in World War II to pre- vent combat damage to buildings and art collec- tions evolved into a search for art treasures stolen and cached by the Nazis. “Looking at the work of these men and women,” says Joyce, “raises an important question: What is the role of art in society, and to what lengths should we go to protect it?” Joyce’s presentation will be followed on Oct. 9 by an Honors Forum screening of the feature film “The Monuments Men,” loosely adapted from Rob- ert M. Edsel’s best-selling book “The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History.” Edsel will be the fea- tured speaker at the MUW Welty Gala scheduled for Oct. 24.
