Q&A | Master T brings song and dance to symposium 9.08.09
Sitting in on one of Professor Robert Farris Thompson’s ’55 GRD ’65 classes is like going to a happening in the 1960s. Thompson, the Col. John Trumbull professor in the history of art, drums on the lectern. His skill for creating a complicated African rhythm is atypical for a guy with an “old Yale” professorial look. He forces the entire class to get up and dance rumba. He challenges a student in the lecture to a staring contest.
