UM: Ralph Williams

On his blog “Elsewhere: One Writer’s Travels,” UM grad Matthew Thorburn writes about going to a lecture by retired UM professor Ralph Williams at a program called One Day University in New York: “In terms of pure and sweet nostalgia, I was happy to see Williams act out certain lines from King Lear, such as Gloucester’s plaintive ‘And that’s true too!’ which I remember from his lectures circa 1995. And to see the hands – even bigger than I remembered; he might have been a grand stride pianist! – in action.” [Source]
