[Debbie Meinbresse]

>>Dear Colleagues:
>>
>>
>>We are writing about our first Boston University Political History Seminar
>>which will be taking place on February 16, from 11:30-1:00, at 226 Bay State
>>Road. Attached is the paper by Professor Michael Willrich, a historian at
>>Brandeis University, entitled "."
>>Please let me know if you have problems opening it.
>>
>>In terms of the format, we are hoping that people can read the paper before
>>the seminar. Michael will only speak for about 15 minutes, and then we will
>>move directly into questions and answers. Feel free to circulate this to any
>>other colleagues who might be interested in attending the seminar, including
>>doctoral students.
>>
>>Below are directions to 226 Bay State Road. Please email if you have any
>>questions. For those who will be driving from another campus, please let me
>>know so we can try to get you a parking pass.
>>
>>Once again, we do hope that you can make this with the hopes this seminar
>>becomes an integral home to the new political history that is being 
>>researched
>>and written in the Boston area.
>>
>>Best Wishes,
>>
>>Julian and Bruce
