The basic principle of Lewis & Clark's environmental affairs major
is that every single environmental issue has connections to the
three major academic subdivisions of the liberal arts:
the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities.
We like to refer to this as our "environmental-tripod principle."
·The goal of this symposium is to create an interactive forum
for some of the crucial environmental issues of our time
where students, faculty, and visitors, coming from a variety of
perspectives, can share ideas and learn from each other.
The symposium is open to the public at no charge.

When over two doztn

maybe something classical?
Indeed, on Samrday, Septem­

LC folks carpooled over LO

mance by r he Pon land Ba­
roque Orchestra. Known
across the coumry for its ad­
herence 10 the Baroque style
of music, the PBO was per­
forming Johann Sebastian
Bach's Six Brandenburg Con­
certos. These six concertQs
were. wrillen in the early

Ludwig, Margrave of
Brandenburg. They combine
violin, harpsichord, cello,
bass, recorder. oboe, bassoon,
and a small varic1y or classi­

a rich and complex poly­
phonic texture.
