In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building is a Books Sandwiched-In lecture with Reverend Dr. Richard (Dick) S. Gilbert reviewing Henry David Thoreau : a life by Laura Dassow Walls.

Walls's Thoreau is … a person who, in many ways, is a 21st-century liberal's idea of our best self: pro-environmental, antiracist, antiimperialist, feminist, reformist, spiritual but not religious. (The Nation)
