History Of Handwriting To Be Discussed At UB Alumni Lecture

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- An historical overview of handwriting as a communication tool, art form and debatable gauge of character will be the topic of a UB Senior Alumni luncheon to be held at noon April 10 in the Center for Tomorrow on the UB North Campus.

Tamara Thornton, UB associate professor of history and author of "Handwriting in America: A Cultural History," will present a visual tour of handwriting's twists, turns and history as an elegant, sloppy, neat and sometimes illegible expression of "self."

The cost of the luncheon program, which is designed for UB senior alumni, their guests and spouses, is $12 per person. For more information or to make reservations, call the UB Office of Alumni Relations at 829-2608.

Series sponsors are Independent Health and Financial Education Resources.
