Kenneth J. Conant '15 Talks On Byzantine Architecture

Noted Scholar Will Discuss Subject Tomorrow Afternoon

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Byzantine Church Architecture" will be the subject of an illustrated public lecture by Kenneth J. Conant '15, Professor of Architecture, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Fogg Art Museum.

Conant, one of the leading scholars in the country on this subject, has visited churches not only in the region of Constantinople and in Greece but in the Balkan lands and in Russia.

Familiar with the liturgy from his visits with the monks in the ancient monastery on Mt. Athes, he has acted as adviser to the Russians in their restoration of a "lost", Byzantine church in Kiev. Through him a little known period of architecture takes on a vivid interest.
