Today at Community Lunch, Dean Michael read to us “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (“The Night Before Christmas”). This famous poem is written by Clement Clarke Moore, a professor at General & the man who donated the land in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan for General Seminary.
Community Lunch in the Refectory yesterday— good food, and good company.
