A Stroll Through The Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences
Throughout our lives, we have heard of the liberal arts and sciences. But until we were presented with them in The Winding Stair lecture, most of us had only a vague notion of what they consisted.

I eventually received a copy from a friend from Ohio, who gives it to every newly raised MM in his lodge.

With more than idle talk and boast;
