Comment: Alan Rogers, Boston College

All seminars take place at the society, 1154 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02215, and commence at 5:15 PM. As always, the seminar involves the discussion of a pre-circulated paper. After a brief introduction by Prof. McGirr, a commentary by Prof. Rogers, and a rebuttal by Prof. McGirr, the session will be opened to general discussion by the audience.

After the event, the Society will serve a light buffet supper. Reservations are suggested but not required to attend the seminar, but are required to attend the supper so that numbers may be given to the caterer.
