The Steinberg Symposium
On November 17-19, in the latest of a series of symposia supported by Saul and Gayfryd Steinberg, the School of Arts and Sciences assembled panels of mayors and ministers, professors and professionals, to examine initiatives in "Putting Faith in America's Cities." In three days of classes, lectures and panel discussions open to the public, liberals and conservatives sat down together to discuss how to work on the streets and in the executive suites to save at-risk children and improve America's cities.
