Yesterday, I had the opportunity to talk about Charles Darwin with Dr. Helen Davis' Victorian Literature class. I'm wearing a Victorian work shirt (stained from washing with a tie-dye) and work pants (too tight!). Here I'm showing an example of pigeons that Darwin described and how quickly pigeon breeders could create a pigeon with desired features.
Before the lecture there was tea and coffee (delicious) as well as cucumber sandwiches, scones (delicious), and cupcakes (delicious). This was in Kirby Hall, which is beautiful (though, I bet, drafty). I think Wilkes U should do a Victorian Week - we have the buildings and the interest and it would be a great way to get the community on campus.
