Eliot Fund brings Kenney back to
campus Former faculty member John Peter
Kenney, dean of St. Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont,
returned to Reed in February to present the annual Eliot lecture
on “Ancient Transcendentalism: Platonic and Christian.” Kenney,
an authority on St. Augustine, Plotinus, and mysticism in late
antiquity, is the author of Mystical Monotheism: A Study in Ancient
Platonic Theology (Brown University Press, 1991, paperback edition
2002) and the forthcoming The Mysticism of Saint Augustine: Re-Reading
the Confessions. The Thomas Lamb Eliot Memorial Fund for Religion
was established in 1953 by Eliot’s son, William Greenleaf
Eliot, Jr.; this year marks its 50th anniversary.
  RAW
The
14th annual Reed Arts Week (RAW) presented installations, lectures,
and performances that explored the theme “Manufacture.” Art
by students abounded on campus, and guest artists and performers
(including the Yes Men and the Typing Explosion) challenged ideas
about the creative process and what distinguishes the production
of art from production at large.
