Birthday cards for the Marquis de Lafayette

By Dave Block ’93

Students in the Intermediate French (111) and Comparative Literature (102) classes taught by Prof. Olga Anna Duhl created birthday cards to celebrate the Sept. 6 birthday of the Marquis de Lafayette in a virtual environment.

Since 2007, Olga has helped organize invited lectures, films, period music, exhibitions, and more at Lafayette for the Marquis’ birthday.

“Although this year we were unable to gather on campus to observe this important date in the life of the College,” she says, “my students sent their birthday wishes to the Marquis as a testimony to their homage to the historic Franco-American cooperation of which he was a pioneer. Cur Non?”
