Book discussion is Tuesday
The Dorset Graves Lecture Series at Chadron State College's Reta King Library will continue with a book discussion of Loren Eiseley’s “Star Thrower” on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. The discussion will be led by Dr. Ann Buchmann, CSC professor of microbiology.
Organizers of the series are encouraging anyone who has read the book to join the discussion.
Eiseley has become known in science and literature circles for excelling both as a scientist and author. "Star Thrower" is a collection of Eiseley's favorite essays and poems.
Following the book discussion, the series will turn to presentations about explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their historic 19th century journey through the western United States. Those speakers are scheduled to coincide with the “Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country” exhibit that will be shown in the library March 5 to April 18.
Following is the schedule of speakers who will discuss Lewis and Clark. Note that changes have been made from the schedule’s original printing.
