Samson Agonistes, 1960

The RMC chapel was dedicated in 1959 and immediately began hosting all kinds of events, from religious services to art exhibits, lectures, and concerts. I recently came across this little program for something else–a faculty performance of John Milton’s Samson Agonistes–that brought home forcefully how much we have changed as a culture in a relatively short time. You can read Milton’s poem here if your attention span hasn’t been totally rotted away by the internet.
